Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 13 An affectionate kiss

Perhaps the heavens are also grieving for the victims and survivors of the Titanic.

On the day the Carpathia arrived, it rained heavily in the skies of New York.

New Yorkers who came to greet the survivors stood silently in the rain, waiting for the survivors on the boat to appear.

Finally, the ship was stable, and after the drawbridge was lowered, the survivors of the Titanic, who had been reborn after the catastrophe, poured onto land despite the heavy rain.

They jumped like crazy, shouted, and ...... in the rain Weeping bitterly.

There were even people who knelt down excitedly and buried their heads in kissing the muddy earth.

Weeping for being alive, for those who will never come back, for those who will never return......

Bruce was not in a hurry to get off the boat, he didn't know where to find an umbrella to escort Rose and the little girl Alice hid in the crowd and got off the boat.

After a few days of enlightenment.

Coupled with the company of Alice, who is also connected to the same disease, Rose finally has a life on her face.

This delicate English rose finally bloomed again and bloomed into her original beauty.

It's just that after this incident, the aristocratic lady who used to be a little rebellious and naïve has become a little more mature and calm, and has become less unrestrained and enthusiastic.

In the rain, Rose appeared on the dock with the little girl Alice and Bruce in her arms.

The three of them teased Alice from time to time, talking and laughing, and at first glance, people who didn't know thought that this was a happy family of three.

Rose didn't go back to her mother.

This may be her silent expression of her rebellion against her original family.

Arriving on the shore, the three stopped.

Bruce held an umbrella for the two beauties, big and small, and said, "What's next?".

Rose smiled warmly and said, "I don't know, maybe I'll look for a job." Or be a theater actor. In short, I don't want to rely on that ridiculous identity anymore to continue living. "

Bruce nodded and said, "Then I wish you all the best!".

"What about you, Bruce?" asked Rose.

Bruce thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I'll go to the west to have a look." "

"West, why there?" asked Rose, puzzled.

At this time, the United States was in the era of western development in full swing.

In order to develop the vast and desolate western region, the US government has prescribed many eye-catching welfare policies.

It can be said that the west is full of opportunities and miracles at this time.

But at the same time, it is full of sin and chaos.

Naturally, Bruce didn't want to tell Rose that he went west because he knew there was what he wanted.

"Because there are more opportunities there. Bruce said perfunctorily.

Rose didn't bother either.

Just looked at Alice in her arms a little embarrassed.

Bruce was also aware of this and didn't know what to do with the poor kid.

At this moment, a surprise voice suddenly came from behind Bruce: "Bruce, is that you?".

Before Bruce could figure out the situation, he saw a tall figure thrown into Bruce's arms like a bird in the forest.

The whole lithe body hung on the tall Ruth.

Although he didn't see the person clearly, Bruce was already excited to guess the person's identity.

It's just that before he had time to express his joy at reuniting with the other party, the visitor couldn't help but kiss him on the face.

In the end, he was not satisfied, and two thin, soft red lips kissed Bruce's mouth heavily.

Fortunately, this is in the unrestrained and free country.

Otherwise, Leslie's bold behavior would definitely provoke countless people's fingers.

However, here, only the smiles and blessings of countless onlookers were obtained.

What could be more satisfying and happy than this moment to reunite?

"Oh, hehe...... It's a pleasure to meet here again. Another gentle voice rang out.

With a long affectionate kiss, Leslie was finally willing to part with Bruce.

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears glistened in her beautiful eyes: "Bruce, you know what, I thought I'd never see you again." "

Bruce was also very excited: "Miss Leslie, I'm worried about you too. Where have you been these days, I've looked for you on the ship several times but haven't found you. "

"I was sick and had been lying in the ship's infirmary to recuperate. Leslie blushed slightly.

I see!

It's no wonder that no matter how much Bruce inquired these days, he didn't hear from Leslie.

It turned out that he was sick.

He thought that this beautiful and kind female writer would die from now on.

Fortunately, God always favors kind people.

"Huh...... Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I think we'd better find a shelter from the rain before we talk. Mrs. Brown behind her reminded with a smile.

That's when Bruce reacted.

Just as Leslie ran over, the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Rose picked up the umbrella again and held up a piece of heaven for the two.

Perhaps it's because Bruce and Leslie's reunion tugs at Rose's heartstrings, and although Rose is smiling, her smile is extremely lonely and far-fetched.

"Oh, damn it, you stupid woman, why are you so reckless, what if you get sick in the rain again?" said Bruce, angry and amused.

Leslie pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, and then reluctantly got off Bruce.

At Mrs. Brown's urging, the group finally found a restaurant not far from the docks and sat down.

Leslie clearly misses Bruce and chatters as soon as she sits down.

That eager look, like a little girl who has received a beloved gift.

Mrs. Brown smiled knowingly, a pair of well-matched young men, as if they were looking at their own children.

"Oh, Rose, you're okay, God forbid. Finally, when Bruce was about to lose his temper with Leslie's enthusiasm, she remembered her best friend Rose.

Rose Qiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Noel, it's a pleasure to be reunited with you again." "

"Where's Jack?" asked Leslie instinctively when she didn't see the handsome little guy, Jack.

"Leslie......" Bruce interrupted Leslie.

Rose's face was slightly feminine, her expression was low again, and she silently wept.

Seeing this, how could Leslie not think of how things would turn out?

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Rose, I don't know...... I'm sorry!".

"It's okay, it's all providence, isn't it?" Rose smirked.

In order to distract Rose, Bronff looked at Alice, who had been sitting silently beside Rose.

"Oh, who is this, what a beautiful kid. Mrs. Brown said with a smile.

"Her name is Alice, and she's one of the people I saved!" Bruce explained.

Mrs. Brown was also present when the man overboard.

So she had already guessed the girl's situation.

Mrs. Brown drew a cross on her chest and said with a heavy heart: "What an unfortunate thing, may God bless this poor child." "

At this time, Leslie also turned her attention to Alice: "Are you going to take this poor child in?"

"We were still struggling with this just now. Bruce inexplicably picked up a bit of sourness in Leslie's words.

She wouldn't think she'd been together with Rose again in the past few days.

Leslie said thoughtfully, "Oh, then, has it worked?" and, Bruce, what are your plans for the future?".

With that, Leslie was staring at Bruce expectantly, hoping to hear the results she longed for from his mouth.

"I'm going to go west. Bruce still had the same answer.

"Why?" said Leslie, disappointed.

She is a free writer, and half of the Titanic came to the United States at the invitation of the White Star Shipping Company, and half of it was to come to the United States to see the different prosperity and world, and to find inspiration for her future works.

As for the west?

It is certainly a magical place full of legends in the country of rice.

But the desolation and chaos there are also well-known in the Western world.

Naturally, Leslie's plan didn't have the West as planned.

She really wanted Bruce to travel with her on the bustling east coast of the United States, and then the love came naturally.

This is in line with her romantic fantasy of a literary young woman.

Bruce's expression became serious, he took Leslie's tender little hand and said seriously, "Leslie, because I have more important things to do." "

"Because of your homeland?" Leslie remembered her conversation with Bruce on the Titanic, and understood Bruce's decision.

It's just that the man she likes may have to part ways with her, and Leslie's heart is always full of reluctance.

Bruce nodded solemnly.

"Oh, Bruce, are you going to the West? Maybe we can go the same way. Mrs. Brown suddenly interjected and asked.

"Maybe it's Texas, I'm not sure yet. Bruce was a little surprised, he didn't expect Mrs. Brown's home to be in the west.

"Huh...... It was such a coincidence that we might be able to walk together. Mrs. Brown said happily.

This gracious Mrs. Brown must have come from a good family.

Otherwise she would not have appeared in the first class of the Titanic.

And in this era, the most miraculous thing in the western part of the country is naturally oil.

In 1912, in the western part of the country, there was a vigorous oil exploration campaign.

Many risk-takers who have nothing have a lucky investment and find an oil field and become millionaires.

Could it be that Mrs. Brown's family is also a big oil businessman?

"That's great. Bruce did not refuse Mrs. Brown's invitation.

If you are not familiar with the life in the United States, if you can get to know a local big man as a backer, it will be very beneficial to Bruce's next plan.

It's just that Leslie's eyes are full of reluctance.

She was tempted to say that she would also be willing to accompany Bruce on his adventures to the West.

But then she thought of Bruce's great ideal.

Realizing that following Bruce may not only not help him, but will delay Bruce's plan.

"That kid...... If it's not convenient for you, I think I can take this poor child in. Mrs. Brown suggested.

Hearing this, Bruston's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Brown's proposal was undoubtedly the best outcome of the moment.

Either handing Alice to Rose or Leslie didn't seem to be an appropriate way to place it.

As for Bruce himself?

His future path may be full of dangers and challenges, but he doesn't want Alice, a poor child, to continue to live a life of fear with him.

"Would you like it, Alice?" asked Bruce for Alice's opinion.

In the past few days, the little girl may have understood some things, and vaguely knew that her parents might never come back.

In the past few days, following Bruce and Rose, she may have regained the fatherly and maternal love that she had lost for a long time, and she is very attached to Bruce and Rose.

"Uncle Li, don't you and Rose want Alice too?" Alice said as she looked at Bruce with tears in her eyes.

Bruce hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, no, how could we not want Alice." It's just that Rose and I have more important things to do now, and it's inconvenient to take you with us, so why don't you go and stay at the kind Mrs. Brown's house for a while, and when our affairs are all taken care of, we'll come back to see you. "

"Really?" asked Alice, twinkling with her talking eyes.

"Of course it's true!" Bruce hurriedly raised his hand and swore.

"Then let's hook!" Alice said with some stubbornness.

The

way Bruce taught Alice when he was on the Carpathia.

The little girl remembered this interesting way of making a covenant very well.

In order not to make the little girl sad, Bruce had to hook up with Alice.

Alice believed Bruce's words, glanced at Rose with attachment, and was a little reluctant to part with Rose.

Rose smiled and touched Alice's little head and said, "Alice, I will also visit you." "

Alice nodded silently and obediently kissed Rose on the cheek.

That's when Leslie interjected and said, "Bruce, when are you going to leave New York?"

Bruce looked at Mrs. Brown and said, "It depends on what Mrs. Brown means, I don't care." "

Mrs. Brown smiled and said, "It will take two more days for my husband to pick me up and take me back to Los Angeles in two days." "

Hearing Mrs. Brown's words, Leslie had a thoughtful expression on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
