Chapter 5: My Heart Will Go On
After a brief period of low spirits, the rhythm gradually began to rise. It was as if, after a time of being somewhat absent-minded, I turned around at the school gate one weekend and unexpectedly encountered the girl I had admired last time.
As the piece concluded, the entire restaurant fell into a profound silence, with everyone still immersed in the classic and lingering melody. Although this was a new composition that none had ever heard before, music is the most straightforward language and the most sincere emotion, and all present were deeply moved, inevitably reminded of their unforgettable lovers
Is there truly anything eternal in this world
Jack is indeed extraordinary. Since we have opened up, let's cast aside the so-called etiquette and return to our carefree selves. Jack continued, "I enjoy wandering everywhere, where one person eats well and the whole family is not hungry. I have a healthy body and paper for painting. I love waking up every day not knowing what opportunities will arise or where I will go. Just a few days ago, I was sleeping on an overpass, and now I can toast with you all on a luxury cruise ship. I have a healthy body and paper for painting. I love waking up every day not knowing what opportunities will arise or where I will go. Just a few days ago, I was sleeping on an overpass, and now I can toast with you all on a luxury cruise ship. Life is a gift from God, and it should be cherished. The world is unpredictable, so we should adapt to circumstances and seize the moments of life.
Lady Brown immediately exclaimed, "Seize the moment!" as she raised her glass
Situ Nan glanced at Jack and then at Rose, the meaning of which only he himself understood
A man does not shed tears lightly, but only when he reaches the point of heartbreak. The deeper the love, the more genuine the pain. Situ Nan stood up, holding back his tears, and said: "This piece is called 'My Heart Will Go On', in memory of the love we once lost"
Until the beginning of a tender and gentle melody plays again, it feels as if, after the storm, the beloved has vanished, leaving only me foolishly lingering in the place where I loved you, constantly searching for your shadow in my memories
He never came here again until the sinking of the Titanic
Jack is truly impressive, having turned the situation around so quickly; no wonder he was able to steal the rich second generation's girlfriend, Si Tu Nan thought to himself
Ding ding ding... The rhythm began to become joyful and captivating, repeating several segments in succession, much like a couple in love gradually deepening their relationship. They went on dates together, to the dining hall, classroom, library, and sports field, with you sitting behind me on my bicycle, leaving traces of our laughter everywhere. Situ Nan played while a smile flickered across his face.
These boring individuals, apart from praising those who are superior to themselves, only mock those who are inferior. One must possess a resilient spirit to endure such an environment. Day after day, they repeat the nauseating hypocrisy that permeates this place. No wonder Rose wants to jump into the sea! I wonder if, when the Titanic sank, you lot would still be able to maintain your false masks as you do now, Si Tunan thought maliciously. I wonder if, when the Titanic sank, you lot would still be able to maintain your false masks as you do now, Si Tunan thought maliciously
"Do you enjoy wandering around, Mr. Dawson?" Rose's mother pressed on, and even a fool could detect the disdain in her words
Situ Nan's expression grew increasingly severe as he pounded the keyboard with increasing force, the rhythm becoming more and more urgent, as if he were enduring inner torment
Si Tu Nan walked over to the band and requested the pianist to play a piece for him. The pianist, who had been playing for these first-class passengers all day, was already tired of it and readily relinquished the piano upon hearing Si Tu Nan's request, as there was no reason to refuse.
Watching Situ Nan skillfully press the keys, many realized that this young pianist must possess some talent, so they decided to wait and see. Only the violinist beside Situ Nan, Old Bi, secretly admired him, observing the young man's focused demeanor; this piece, which he had never heard before, contained profound emotions
The restaurant was filled with a gentle melody, the notes from the piano seeping into the hearts of the listeners like cool stream water, reminiscent of the soft murmurs exchanged between two people, instantly capturing the audience's attention
After bowing, Situ Nan turned and left the first-class dining room amidst a round of applause
The starry sky is so vast, and there exists an eternally unreachable distance between humans and the starry sky, as if one is separated by two different dimensions of time and space. As for why one has come to this world, Situ Nan no longer wishes to concern himself with it
Seize the moment! Everyone present raised their glasses in agreement, leaving Jack, Hawk, and Rose's mother speechless.
Si Tu Nan Yue played faster and faster, more and more passionately, his ten fingers danced wildly back and forth on the keyboard, entwined in a struggle between love and pain
Si Tu Nan glanced over in that direction and found them looking over with curiosity. He nodded towards them, then turned and sat down at the piano. After adjusting the tuning, his expression became focused, just as it had countless times before, and he began to play the theme from the movie Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On".
Si Tu Nan secretly laughed to himself: Isn't the mother of the girl also trying to use her daughter to catch a wealthy son-in-law? That's why she is desperately pushing her daughter towards the son of the steel magnate. She herself is not in a much better position!
After a brief murmur of soft singing, it blossomed like a magnificent display of fireworks, the melody gradually became cheerful, the scene expanded, and the atmosphere was grand, as if a grand feast were taking place, with guests entering with smiles on their faces
Si Tu Nan did not notice a particularly bright gaze in the restaurant: she could not understand why such a young boy could play music with such a sense of desolation
I am currently living on a ship, and I will leave it to God's arrangement in the future. Usually, I make a living by painting, working various jobs, and traveling back and forth on cargo ships. The only reason I was able to board the Titanic was because I won the ticket in a card game. How fortunate I am!" Jack said calmly
Looking back on the past, I find myself lost in thought. Deep within the ocean lies my deepest longing for you, while the sound of the wind lingers in my ears, echoing the whispers of my heart for you. The ever-surge of the tides reflects the yearning for you that flows through my veins
On the deck of the Titanic, Situ Nan gazed up at the night sky, where countless stars twinkled. He knew that the starlight he was seeing with his naked eye had traveled billions of light-years to reach Earth
Hawk was left with a face full of dust at Situ Nan's place, feeling somewhat displeased. However, being a very intelligent person, he did not wish to provoke Situ Nan, as there was no prior enmity between them. Therefore, upon hearing Rose praise Jack's painting skills, he immediately resorted to veiled sarcasm directed at Jack, considering him a rival for Rose's affections. Poor Jack, having just dealt with Hawk's covert jabs, now faced the open hostility of Rose's mother.
Weir, I have finally lost you, but you still live in my heart
Sidu Nan secretly glanced at Mrs. Brown beside him and found that she had already adopted a stern expression. Rose's mother persistently questioned Jack, and that air of superiority greatly displeased Mrs. Brown. Usually, Rose's mother treated Mrs. Brown with indifference, harboring a deep-seated disdain for this nouveau riche. Consequently, Mrs. Brown also held a lack of fondness for Rose's mother.
... ...
The melody gradually rises, much like the passionate relationship between the two individuals, making it hard for them to part. Suddenly, after a flurry of rapid variations, it feels as though their relationship is facing a crisis, with both of them enduring great torment.
"Mr. Dawson, where do you live? How do you have the money to travel?" Rose's mother was clearly putting Jack in a difficult position.
As the grand momentum slightly paused, the rhythm softened and gradually sank down, akin to an unintentional encounter that fleetingly slipped away in a subtle moment, leaving one with a sense of regret
Because he knows: there is no turning back now that he is going home
This passage is eloquent; Jack does not feel inferior due to his difficulties, but instead is filled with optimism about life
Si Tu Nan ate relatively quickly, and just as he was about to feel full, he noticed the band nearby providing accompaniment for the restaurant. Feeling a surge of excitement, he stood up and said, "Excuse me! I am grateful for your hospitality, and I have nothing to repay you with, so let me play a piece for everyone now!"
