"Yes, freedom..." Du Lai looked at the endless sky and sighed.

On this isolated island, we are separated from all social relations, no parents and family, no colleagues' work, no friends and neighbors...

If he really wants to live here for the rest of his life, he will neither have to worry about the creditors of the past catching up with him nor worry about the future of those children. He will have no burden or pressure.

It's both free and easy.

The things to consider every day are just three meals a day.

However, emptiness is also real.

Du Lai felt that he was very conflicted, or that humans themselves were very conflicted. While wanting to be alone, he could not escape from the crowd.

He was not completely unable to let go of those children, but it was difficult to give up if he wanted to completely cut off this emotional connection.

"Ah..." Fu Miaoxue said softly, "It's dark."

Du Lai was amused when he heard this: "The sky was originally dark."

"No, the moon is covered by clouds, it's so dark..." she murmured.

Du said: "Stop watching, go to bed."

"...I can't sleep." Fu Miaoxue turned over, "Du Lai, tell me a story."

Du Lai refused: "I won't coax the child."

"Didn't your work on a cruise just to make people happy?" Fu Miaoxue said, "If you don't want to tell stories, then you can make me a magic trick."

Du Lai said: "Hurry up and go to bed, Miss, what magic does it turn into when the dark lights are gone..."

Fu Miaoxue was quiet for a while and said softly again: "I was too full just now and couldn't sleep for a while... Otherwise, let's talk for a while?"

In fact, Du Lai was not sleepy either.

But he didn't know what to talk about with Fu Miaoxue.

He and her social class and living circle are very different.

"What do you want to talk about?" Du Lai smiled, "I guess we don't have a common topic that we can talk about."

Fu Miaoxue thought for a while, "Why... talk about your past life? How did you become a magician?"

"How to become a magician..." Du Lai recalled the past, "A few years ago, my friend introduced me to a job and worked as an assistant for a magician on the ship. I studied with the magician for two or three years. After that, the magician got off the ship and never came back. I took his job naturally and started performing magic on the ship."

"Can I learn it in two or three years?" Fu Miaoxue asked curiously, "Then can I learn it? I also want to do magic."

"Look at the understanding." Du Lai smiled, "And I have an advantage in learning this, I turned out to be..."

He paused and hesitated whether to tell her.

This was not a glorious thing, but he seemed to have no need to maintain his face in front of her.

"What are you? Why do you have an advantage?" Fu Miaoxue asked.

Du Lai was silent for a moment, and looked at her with a smile, "I turned out to be... a gentleman on Liang."

"The gentleman on the Liang?" Fu Miaoxue frowned, very confused, "What does the gentleman on the Liang do?"

This time, Du Lai frowned and turned to look at her: "I don't know what Liang Shangjunzi is? You haven't studied before, right?"

"Of course I have studied. I have a tutor!" Fu Miaoxue replied immediately, "It's just that I haven't arranged courses for ancient poetry and prose. I don't learn this in Singapore. There are quite a lot of foreign language classes. I have to learn some English, Spanish and French."

Du Lai smiled, "There is also Shanghai dialect. I think you are very experienced in Shanghai dialect to curse people. Where did you learn it?"

"My mother is from Shanghai," Fu Miaoxue replied, "My nanny used to be from Shanghai, and the nanny was so sad that she could get away with scolding people."
