Chapter 1,386 The continuation of life, leaving sadly
Captain Mike takes Benjamin to a bar!
This is also where Benjamin first saw it.
"What does your father do?" Captain Mike asked.
"I never met my father!" Benjamin replied.
"You are so lucky. All fathers want to suppress their sons..." It turned out that Captain Mike had been working day and night on his father's boat. Finally, he told his father that he did not want to waste his whole life on that shabby ship.
on board.
His words touched Benjamin greatly, because before that, his whole world was just a small nursing home.
Captain Mike's father did not agree with him, but asked him, what the hell would you do?
Captain Mike said: "I want to be an artist. He smiled. Artist? You are the life of the tugboat, just like me! Work for me honestly! Later I really became an artist!"
He took off his clothes and revealed the tattoos on his body, which were tattooed by himself. "If you want to take away my art, you have to skin me alive first! After I die, I have to give him my arm and let others talk about it!"
Just do whatever you want and I just happen to be a fucking artist!"
Benjamin didn’t understand: “But you are still a tugboat captain!”
Captain Mike didn't answer. At this time, a woman came over and said that everything had been arranged for Captain Mike.
Captain Mike asked someone to introduce a prostitute to Benjamin. Some people thought that Benjamin was old and senile, but a woman still pulled Benjamin upstairs.
“It was an unforgettable night!”
So what follows is a scene that everyone loves to see. Of course, the movie is not a restricted movie, but Benjamin knows the taste, and his performance for the first time was quite fierce, completely unlike his old man's appearance.
And this made Benjamin know the importance of making money!
"Money can buy everything!"
When Benjamin left the bar, he was seen by his biological father.
He drove his car and caught up with Benjamin. Of course, Benjamin didn't know at this moment that this was his father.
The father he had never seen!
Thomas told Benjamin his name. The first conversation between father and son seemed a bit dull.
They just told each other their names, but the only difference was that Benjamin didn't have a last name.
He invited Benjamin to stop for a drink with him!
Thomas was surprised that Benjamin didn't drink, but Benjamin smiled and said, "Tonight is the first time for everything!"
"How do you say that?" Thomas was curious.
"Never had a prostitute before!"
"What an experience!"
"Of course, there is always a first time for everything!" Benjamin also looked a little proud!
Benjamin kept rubbing his hands, and Thomas asked curiously: "Does your hand hurt?"
Benjamin said indifferently: "I was born with some diseases!"
"What disease?"
"Born to be an old man!"
"Feel sorry!"
“There’s nothing wrong with being old!”
The two clinked glasses.
Father and son sat face to face together for the first time.
When Benjamin drank for the first time, he choked and kept coughing. Thomas told Benjamin: "My wife passed away many years ago. She died in childbirth!"
He raised his glass and said to Benjamin: "Here's to the kid!"
Benjamin said: "Respect mother!"
Thomas Barton was in the button business and was quite wealthy. Benjamin told Thomas that he was a tugboat worker!
Thomas sent Benjamin back to the nursing home, and both parties said goodbye to each other.
Before Thomas left, he asked him if he could visit him often?
Benjamin said he could do it anytime.
When Benjamin came back drunk, his mother Queenie asked him angrily where he had been.
Benjamin told her that he met someone and listened to some music.
But the next moment he vomited.
"Growing up is an interesting thing. It happens inadvertently. You were one person, and then you became another person! You are no longer the same person!"
Daisy has also grown up a lot, and she is still very enthusiastic about Benjamin, her "special" friend.
Because Daisy comes to the nursing home every weekend to visit her grandma, every weekend is Benjamin's happiest day.
That day, he called Daisy at night and said he wanted to show her something and asked her to keep it secret.
Benjamin also prepared a coat for Daisy. He took Daisy to the tugboat where he worked. He woke up Captain Mike and wanted to ask him to take them out to sea.
Although Captain Mike said that he could not take anyone out to sea casually, otherwise he would lose his license, he still took Benjamin and Daisy out to sea!
This character can be said to be the most popular character in this movie.
To a certain extent, he is more like Benjamin's guide.
The tugboat blew its whistle in the mist and set off to sea.
Benjamin and Daisy stood on the bow of the ship together and saw a huge ship. Daisy said with envy and yearning: "I really hope to go with them!"
Everything changes so fast, everyone is growing up and getting older, but Benjamin is gradually getting younger, his hair gradually turns from white to black, and his hair is getting thicker and thicker.
He told the old lady who cut his hair and whose name he couldn't remember and taught him how to play the piano: "What if I'm not getting older but getting younger?"
"That's so unfortunate. You have to watch the one you love die before you. It's such a terrible responsibility!"
Her words touched Benjamin again, because before this, he had never thought about life and death, and he paused.
"Benjamin, we are destined to lose the people we love. Otherwise, how would we know how important they are in our lives?" The wise old lady patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said.
In a nursing home, one autumn day, death comes unexpectedly!
This elegant old woman who taught him how to play the piano left. She used her own death to make Benjamin understand what it feels like to lose someone!
"I went to a brothel, drank wine, said goodbye to a friend, and said goodbye to a friend forever..."
Benjamin was 17 years old that year. He packed his bags and said goodbye to everyone.
Queenie's face also began to have wrinkles and her hair began to turn gray. They said goodbye reluctantly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Daisy chased him out and asked Benjamin where he was going?
Benjamin said: "Go to sea and I will send you a postcard!"
Daisy said: "No matter where you are! Send me a postcard!"
Benjamin did it, he would send postcards to Daisy no matter where he was. Benjamin followed Captain Mike and the tugboat all over the world. He went to many places.
I also got to know people who behave in a sensual way!
Daisy also often writes to him to tell her things.
Benjamin was getting younger day by day. He began to grow taller and the wrinkles on his face began to fade away.
In the hotel, Captain Mike was talking about the hummingbird tattooed on his body, saying that it was no ordinary bird, it was a miracle.
Its wings can flap eighty times per second. If it is not allowed to flap its wings, it will die in ten seconds!
"People use images to slow down the movement of its wings...its wings flap in a figure 8, and the number 8 represents infinity!"
"No matter what their skin color is, everyone has one thing in common: they get drunk every night!"
Benjamin also met the spy wife Elizabeth here and listened to their legendary stories.
Benjamin fell in love with this woman, and even though she was not that beautiful, Benjamin fell in love, and he even told Daisy on a postcard.
She was also the first woman to fall in love with Benjamin. They were so in love that they had trysts every night, until one night, she did not show up. She only left a letter with only one sentence: "It's so nice to meet you!"
Their love ended in vain!
War struck again, and World War II began.
Captain Mike and his tugboat joined the army, and Captain Mike died for his country!
He returned to his hometown. At this moment, Benjamin had become a middle-aged man. He was even much younger than his elderly mother Queenie.
He seemed to be reborn!
Returning to the nursing home again, nothing seemed to have changed. The man who was struck by lightning seven times was still alive.
However, some people came and some people left!
Only then did Benjamin realize that he had actually become just himself!
One morning, Benjamin met Daisy again, who was already tall and slim. Daisy couldn't even recognize Benjamin at first because he had changed so much that it was unbelievable.
The two of them were filled with joy when they reunited after a long separation.
Daisy chattered.
Benjamin marveled at how beautiful Daisy had become!
The two childhood friends reunited again, and Daisy blamed Benjamin: "You didn't write to me anymore!"
When he left, she was just a child, but now she has become a fair lady! Benjamin looked at Daisy: "He is the most beautiful girl of all the people I have ever seen!"
They returned to the old place, re-read the book of stories Grandma Daisy told them back then, and talked about people they both knew before. They had dinner together, but Benjamin discovered that what Daisy was talking about was not the same world as him at all.
of.
At night, Daisy danced for Benjamin, and Benjamin was naturally attracted to the sexy and beautiful Daisy.
But when faced with her invitation, he could only refuse due to his identity.
Day by day, the nursing home remains the same, and people will always leave.
Only Benjamin becomes younger and more handsome day by day.
Thomas arrives. He abandoned Benjamin before and reappeared due to terminal illness, and confessed his identity to Benjamin.
Benjamin saw a photo of his biological mother for the first time.
He wanted to leave his property to Benjamin, but he was unwilling to accept this belated recognition of his family, but he still took his biological father to watch the last sunrise in his life, and named him Barton.
Because he remembered what the sacrificed old captain Mike said before his death: "When things don't go your way, you can go crazy like a mad dog. You can yell and curse fate, but in the end, you still have to let go!"
When Thomas died, Benjamin put many buttons in bottles and buried them with him.
His father's departure seemed to make Benjamin think about something clearly. He came to the place where Daisy performed with flowers in hand.
But he found that Daisy's world was incompatible with his own.
In fact, he only came to tell Daisy that his father had passed away. Daisy didn't know this, and maybe she didn't care about it at all when she was young at that time.
She invited Benjamin to go downtown with her, but Benjamin refused.
The two parted ways there.
She danced ballet, elegant and beautiful, and her career reached its peak. She had performed all over the world, and even her daughter had never seen those photos.
Caroline had no idea that her mother Daisy had such a glorious moment. She didn't even tell her daughter that she had danced.
But Daisy can't forget Benjamin, the most special person in her life.
In the dead of night, even if the person next to her is not Benjamin, she will still say: "Benjamin, good night!"
So does Benjamin.
"Life is not that complicated. If you like, you can say that I am exploring life!"
Benjamin returned to the nursing home and occasionally rode his motorcycle out, but suddenly one day a letter broke the tranquility of his life.
Daisy had a car accident!
Daisy could no longer stand on the stage due to a car accident. Faced with Benjamin's visit, she felt humiliated and drove him away with fierce words.
Despite this, Benjamin still stayed in Paris and watched over her secretly.
But Daisy didn't know this.
Several pages of Benjamin's diary were torn out, but Daisy knew it.
Benjamin inherited his father's inheritance and learned to drive the sailboat left by his father. At this time, Benjamin had become extremely young and handsome.
He also had several women during this period.
That spring, Daisy came back!
Daisy spent a long time to heal herself and accept the reality. She returned to her hometown and met Benjamin. Both of them were at a golden age at this time, and their love came naturally and they were successful.
Caroline looked a little surprised after reading this. She asked Daisy if her father (stepfather) knew this?

The two people who love each other finally achieve success, but some things will not change because of this.
Queenie, the mother who gave Benjamin a place and all his love, left forever.
Queenie passed away. This section could have been very sensational, but Li Yi still followed the original version, which was only a few short scenes.
Queenie's importance to Benjamin is self-evident, but her death is also inevitable in life.
Just like other elderly people in nursing homes.
In order to live a better life, Benjamin sold his father's villa and they bought a small apartment, living a harmonious and beautiful life.
Daisy became a ballet teacher. That year, Benjamin was 49 years old and Daisy was 43 years old. They met at the midpoint of their lives. Benjamin wanted to remember what they looked like at that time. They looked in the mirror. Daisy suddenly told Benjamin that she
pregnant.
The two of them were very happy at the beginning of the news, but Benjamin was worried.
Because he was afraid that his child would be like him. Even though Daisy said that she would love him more, Benjamin said, how could he be a good father as he grew smaller as he lived?
Fortunately, the two have a child, and their daughter is like a normal person!
Only then did Caroline know that the owner of this diary was actually her biological father!
Benjamin is unable to accompany her as a father as she grows up. He hopes that Daisy can find a competent father for her child, because what her daughter needs is a father who accompanies her to grow up, not a playmate!
He held a party for his daughter's first birthday.
But he knew deeply that his situation made it impossible for him to be a good father. Therefore, before his daughter could remember, Benjamin sold his father's button factory, left a large fortune and left sadly.
