True freedom is actually very simple, do what you like, not be kidnapped by morality, not bound by the hearts of the world, and only be responsible for your own conscience and instinctive preferences. However, among all living beings, from emperors and generals to ordinary people, few of them can achieve it.

Xiao Fen stopped dozens of meters away, the red-haired man driving was looking over, his eyes showed vigilance, Xiao Fen didn't know what to do, because the child was over there, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stopped. At this time, the beautiful blonde man with fur next to the red-haired man only had Margaret in his eyes, and said in an unkind tone: "I order you now, immediately, go back with me immediately, this is no longer your typhoon shelter, understand?"

Although the distance is far away, Xiaofen's ear power can hear it clearly.

Margaret first asked the two children to go to Xiaofen, and then calmly faced the blonde man, and said, "Edward, my dear brother, do you want me to live happily?"

"How long do you want to be willful?" said Edward displeased, "Happiness always comes at a price, and you and I are well aware of each other's responsibilities. ”

Margaret said: "Just let me be willful for a while, from childhood to adulthood, everything I did was what you wanted me to do, and now, I finally have the opportunity to do something I like to do, you are the brother who loves me the most, can you really bear to deprive me of this rare free time?"

"Happy times are always short-lived. Edward sighed and said, "You know I've been tolerant enough for you, and our time is precious. ”

"Then be more tolerant. Margaret pleaded.

Edward shook his head and said, "Impossible, I endured it for so long to come to you, you should understand that this is my limit, Margaret, now the time is up." ”

Margaret did not want to give up convincing him, and continued to say pitifully, "Dear Edward, please don't do this, have you forgotten how you loved your sister in the past? Do you really wish that I would be arranged to marry an old man like Crane or Mex?

Edward frowned in contemplation, and remained silent for a long time.

"Have you forgotten how you helped me protect me when we were eleven years old when we lived in the sewers of London? remember the blueberry muffin I asked you for? You earned it after a day of carrying luggage for a traveler, but it was snatched away by those Hughes bastards, I cried so hard that you tried to help me get it back, I remember you were injured on your forehead. She stepped forward, lifted the blonde hair on his forehead with her hand, and said softly: "My brother, today, I found another piece of blueberry muffin, but this time I don't need you to fight for me, I just need you to show courage and do what you want to do, my brother, life is too short!"

Edward glanced at the red-haired man beside him and said, "You deliberately let her go that day?"

The red-haired man said, "Sir, the decision is in your hands, no matter what choice you make, I will follow it to the death!"

Edward turned his gaze back to Margaret's face, stared at it for a long time, and said, "Are you sure you can find the life you want here?" ”

Margaret said, "She's a very nice person, don't embarrass her." ”

Edward said, "Your heart has softened. ”

"I just want to cherish the time and learn to be myself," Margaret said. ”

Edward said, "But you're encouraging me to be the kind of person you least like." ”

Margaret said, "Brother, I know that's what you've always wanted to do. ”

Edward said: "Over the years, you have done so much foreshadowing for me in that position that I don't want to do, China, Russia, Northern Europe, the Middle East, this way, it's really embarrassing for you." ”

Margaret said, "You have done more for me, now is the time to do something for yourself." ”

Edward said, "If you've been in that position, I'm actually ......"

"Say no more. Margaret said: "The eagle can't stand under the wings of others, your limit is in the sky, I am your sister, I should not be an obstacle to your take-off, I am not in that position, you can let go and do what you want, brother, I don't want to stay in the alliance and watch you become vulgar day by day, as inhuman as Klein and Mex." She shook her head vigorously and said in an accentuated tone, "I don't want to drag you down to be like that." ”

"I paid a huge price to get you in that position, but it turned out that all this was the sacrifice and compromise you made for me. Edward looked at Margaret sadly and emotionally, and said: "My dearest sister, in the name of God, I am willing to give everything for you, but I can't give you the happiness you want most, if everything you have now is exactly what you want, then go as you want, from today onwards, I will fight for my dreams and your dreams of freedom!"

"For the dream. Margaret's eyes lit up, looked at Edward, and said firmly: "And for our dead parents." ”

"I will always watch over you, forever. Edward took her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Go, whatever you want, from now on, I will only guard, and will not interfere again." ”

••••••

Li Muye heard the whole story from Xiaofen. After pondering for a long time, he decided to meet Margaret.

She now lives alone in a rented house in the neighborhood where Li Muyuan's family lives, making a living by tuning and teaching music to children, and occasionally playing backing music at a nearby Christian church, making her almost self-sufficient.

In front of the house is a small yard with swings and an oven.

Margaret sat on the swing, and Li Muye stood in front of the oven.

"I don't think I saw you in months. She smiled and said, "Mr. Li Muye, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I'll forget what you look like, but fortunately, I still remember the taste you made, it's really amazing." ”

Li Muye carefully concocted the delicacies, and the dark brown color of the frosty steak was shiny and shiny, giving off an attractive aroma.

"Miss Margaret, I don't think there is any problem between us, is that so?" Li Muye said suddenly.

Margaret looked surprised: "Mr. Li, you are a little inexplicable, did I do something wrong?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I'm not sure of my judgment, but I'm sure for now, you don't have to stay with me. Li Muye revealed the meaning of the eviction order. This girl is encouraging her brother to do a big thing,

"I'm staying because I like to stay, that's all, I didn't get in your way, right?"

"Margaret, I have helped you, and I don't expect anything in return from you, but I certainly don't want to be in any unforeseen danger because of you. Li Muye was a little anxious, and continued: "Now, I have enough troubles, and I don't want to add new troubles to anyone. ”

"Hee-hee, Mr. Li, you did help me, but that's all, I've been here for three months, have you ever asked you to protect me?" Margaret said, "Or, this nice community is yours and I won't be allowed to live here?" Obviously neither, I'm the governess of your sister's two children, your family helped me, if you want to be rewarded, I'll work harder in return, but if I get into any trouble, it's my trouble, not yours, okay?"

"It looks like we've agreed. Li Muye said: "It is your freedom to stay, and there is only one relationship between you and me." ”

"I like you...... taste. Margaret smiled and said: "Mr. Li, I have experienced many things that I can't help myself, and before that night, I have been hesitating how to end it, it was you who helped me take this step and solved my brother's confusion, for this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my brother and I have already made a decision, he may fail, I may bring trouble, but we will not take revenge on you, please confirm this." ”

Li Muye smiled and said, "If you're just a greedy and cute neighbor, of course I don't mind satisfying your taste buds a little." ”

Margaret smiled: "I really can't refuse your taste, it's like I almost couldn't leave Chengdu at the beginning, you Chinese are too good at eating, the only problem is that your culture is too unique, even your own people can really deeply appreciate the beauty." ”

"You're saying why can't my restaurant business succeed here?"

"I'm saying, why do you have a Chinatown, and why is it difficult to integrate into Western society, although I don't want to admit it, but as a foreigner who has lived in China for a long time, I have to admit that your culture has a higher level of spiritual core, in a world dominated by Western culture, your culture is an outlier, full of mystery, and completely ununiversal, and when you introduce the spirit of Western scientific exploration into your own cultural world, your traditional culture has begun a new evolutionary process, and is gradually adapting to and influencing Western cultural traditions。 ”

Li Muye listened with interest, gave a piece of beef, nodded and said, "That's very good, please continue." ”

Margaret gushed: "This is an irresistible invasion that must be stopped, because it was unfair from the beginning, your culture has a deep historical heritage and the resilience formed after many changes, it can absorb our advanced things, while our world is still rejecting and rejecting your good things, when the two collide together, you are merging and encroaching, but we are resisting in incomprehension, and there will inevitably be a lot of friction in the process." ”

Li Muye said: "You are too modest, there are still many people of insight like you in the West, who are learning and applying Chinese culture, and even the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China is not as good as abroad, and our traditional cuisine has never been able to occupy a place in the mainstream food culture of the West." ”

"Mr. Li, you are too greedy. Margaret cut off a large piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth, it took a long time to chew it and swallow it, intoxicated: "It's really god-like technology, there are cultural differences, people's hearts inevitably have preferences, but the taste buds will never lose fairness, I believe you will succeed, but not now." ”

"What do you mean?"

This means that the world is destined to be pluralistic in the future, and although your things are alive and vibrant, we will not sit still. Margaret squeezed her eyes playfully and said, "Mr. Li, welcome to the world of rivers and lakes in the West, the trouble you are experiencing now is just the beginning." ”

He's it, this girl has something to say......
