[Comprehensive] Time and space experience

After Ruth and Jack established a relationship as lovers, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.Ruth waited anxiously for a day, and it turned out that Ruth was with a poor painter!Thinking of the cold reception she suffered in the circle of noble ladies on this day, despair surged in her heart.

"Ruth, our money is gone, our debts..."

"Enough! Mom! You have to tell me about the debt every day, but I just checked it out. Carl has helped pay off a lot of our debts before. Although there are still some left, as long as we put the house and the collection at home If everything is sold, it will definitely be returned!"

Rufu opened his eyes wide and looked at his emotional daughter, frowned slightly and said, "So? Karl helped pay back the money, but you didn't marry him? Could it be that his money was given to you for nothing?"

Ruth's arrogance weakened a little, but she still said, "I went to Karl, but he didn't mention the money. I think, with his pride, he wouldn't ask us for the money."

Ruth took a deep breath and tried to calmly say: "Ruth, yes, we can pay off our debts by selling all our belongings, and then what? What do we live on? You...you want me to do it?" A sewing girl? Can you bear it?"

With tears in her eyes, Ruth looked at Rufu stubbornly, "Mom, you are the one who is selfish! I have the right to pursue my happiness. You can't sell me to Karl just to continue living your noble life! "

"Sell? You said sell? Oh! God! What are you thinking? As a mother, do I want to watch my daughter give up her excellent fiancé and go to fall in love with a penniless and poor painter? This is loving you? Ruth, you don’t even know what life is! Life is not as simple as you think, life can be without love, but life must have money!” Ruth’s words broke her heart, although she She wanted to continue to live a noble life, but when she chose Ruth's fiancé, she had chosen her fiancé carefully, but Ruth used the word "sell", which was simply insulting her!She no longer knew how to communicate with this rebellious daughter.

Although a little moved, but thinking of what Jack said before, "You have been trapped by them. In that destructive environment, you will die sooner or later! The only one who can save you is yourself." Ruth was firm again. The determination to break away from your current life.Neither mother nor daughter could convince anyone. Ruth was sad all night, and she didn't feel better until dawn when she ran out to date Jack.

The speed of the ship slowed down a bit, and Karl speculated that there were still more than ten hours before hitting the iceberg.Checked the things in the room again, and put all the precious things into the space.Also put some wine and clothes, blankets and other things.Already feeling some chill in the air, Karl glanced at Leger in the living room and said, "Leger, there are too few doctors on board, we all wear more clothes, and we will be docking in a few days, if It will be very inconvenient to be sick at this time." After speaking, he gave him a small flat wine jug, and said with a smile: "This is the wine from the earl, you should try it too, it has been a hard time."

"Okay, master, I understand." Le Jie took the small flagon and carefully put it in his jacket pocket, with a smile on his face, very touched by the young master's concern.

Carl nodded, straightened his bow tie in front of the mirror, put on his hat and walked to the lounge.There is no entertainment on the boat, and his status is there, and it is unreasonable to stay in the house. He can only chat with businessmen and politicians every day to pass the time, and occasionally look at the sea by the side of the boat, waiting for the arrival of icebergs.

"Hey, Carl, we're discussing stocks. Are you interested in joining us?" Izzy, the founder of Macy's, said with a smile when he saw him come in.He was the one who finally lay on the bed with his wife quietly waiting for the ship to sink. He had a very good relationship with his wife and was already 50 years old.

Colonel Gracie and Baron Cosmo were also there. Karl sat down with a smile, asked Leger to hand out cigars to them, and said: "Speaking of the stock market, the stock market on Wall Street has been rising very well recently, and it has already reached a high level. Yes, it seems that there is still potential to continue to rise, but I think that extremes will reverse, which is not a good sign, and it is better not to invest too much. Only by investing in multiple parties can we avoid risks.”

Colonel Gracie took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile, "This is your strong point as a businessman, Issie, what do you think?"

Yixi squinted her eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "You should be more careful. The money invested in the stock market has already made a fortune. Hehe, Carl's opinion is good. You should be more cautious in investing. There are many other business opportunities now. There’s no need to put it all in the stock market.”

The four of them sat around a table, drinking wine and cigarettes, and chatting for a whole morning.Although Karl has the memory of the original owner, the original owner is a bit arrogant, and also has some arrogance unique to nobles, and his contacts in the business field are not wide enough. Although the Hockley family is a very famous name, the financial crisis is coming soon. If he doesn't seize the time to occupy a place in the American business circle, I'm afraid Hockley will soon become a second- and third-rate family.

On the deck, Ruth and Jack sat on the bench beside the side of the ship, flipping through Jack's drawing book, which contained many nude female portraits. Looking at them, Ruth found that there were many portraits of the same person. a woman.The smile on her face faded, and she seemed to ask unintentionally: "You like her very much? You have drawn many portraits of her."

Jack heard the sour smell, took a careful look at her, and turned the album back two pages, revealing a painting with only hands, and said with a smile: "Her hands are very beautiful, look, they are perfect!"

Ruth curled her lips and said, "You must be obsessed with her."

"Oh no, heh, it's her hands that I'm obsessed with." Seeing that Ruth was a little unhappy, she quickly said, "Actually, she only has one leg. Look, here is a full-body portrait of her."

Ruth breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Jack say again: "But although she has a handicap, she is very humorous and positive about life. She is in New York, and she is from my hometown. You go see her."

Ruth didn't respond, but changed the subject to chat about Jack's colorful life.That was the life Ruth yearned for. Listening to Jack's description, she wished she could experience it with Jack right away.Seeing her expression, Jack thought of an idea, and said, "You want to ride a horse like a man, but you can't do it now, but if you want to spit like a man, you can experience it right away. Come on! Come with me!" Pull up Ruth and run.

Ruth was taken aback. There were a lot of people on the deck at this moment. Everyone came out to enjoy the scenery and sunbathe. It was really rude.But she couldn't refuse, so she ran to the corridor with Jack.Jack showed her how to spit into the sea, Ruth hesitated and followed him.The two were happy to see who vomited farther away, and the people nearby looked at them with disgust, and unconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to stay away from them.

Rufu managed to talk to the countess today, and walked in the corridor with several noble ladies. When he walked behind Ruth, Jack was sucking a mouthful of phlegm and preparing to spit it out. When he turned around and saw them, he swallowed the phlegm directly.Molly smiled and compared the corners of her mouth to him, and Jack quickly wiped the drool off his chin.

Ruth was a little embarrassed, but when she saw Rufu with a frosty face, the rebellious factor in her heart began to emerge again. She introduced Jack to Rufu and the others, and then said that she would go to the other side with Jack to see, so she took Jack and ran away. Lost.

Carl and Colonel Gracie stood on the higher deck. Seeing this scene, Colonel Gracie patted Carl on the shoulder and sighed: "That day I thought this boy was a hero who saved lives. Come on, your decision to call off the engagement was correct."

Carl smiled, "Of course, if I hadn't made a quick decision, this trip to the Titanic might have become a disgrace to the Hockley family."

"Haha, Karl, you're exaggerating! But remember to keep your eyes open next time when you choose a fiancée, and don't choose such an energetic girl again." Colonel Gracie made fun of Karl. He and Karl had a good relationship. Especially in the past two days, I found that Carl has become more and more calm in his behavior, and he is more willing to maintain a good friendship in his heart.

Carl looked at the disappearing backs of Ruth and Jack, and thought, without the 56-carat Heart of the Ocean this time, he wondered if Ruth would let Jack paint for her.

Ruth showed Jack a tour of her first-class suite, and actually asked Jack to paint for her.After reading Jack's picture book before, she couldn't help being jealous of the woman with perfect hands. Since Jack appreciates hands, why did he draw so many full-body and half-body paintings?She wanted only her portrait to appear in Jack's drawing books in the future. She is much more beautiful than that woman, isn't she?

Ruth proposed to paint nudes, and Jack naturally would not refuse. For Ruth, this may be a big deal, but for Jack, it is a routine homework, but he did not expect Ruth to be so bold and so bold. open.

Ruth picked out a favorite necklace and put it on, and appeared in front of Jack in jjj. This is really a challenge for the painter Jack!The beloved girl was standing naked within the reach of his hand, and he couldn't restrain Jack. He instinctively reacted, and his breathing immediately became short of breath...

But Jack is a painter with self-control after all. He took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart and the beating of his pulse, and controlled the emotions that should not arise at this moment, then leaned back and adjusted From the angle of sight, he glanced at Ruth with the eyes of a professional painter, pointed to the sofa and said, "Please go to the bed... Uh, no, no, please go to the sofa and lie down..."

Jack was a little flustered, but when the brush touched the paper, he calmed down slowly and began to paint with his heart, gradually sketching out a stunning picture of beauty...

Carl's room is only two rooms away from Ruth and the others. After he returned to his room, out of curiosity, he let go of his senses and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Jack and Ruth painting, and they had the same female Soul, she had to admire Ruth's courage. She showed herself unreservedly in front of a man she had known for only two days, and even brought Jack to the first-class cabin. lost!Is she naive, or naive?

Love is really a crazy thing. Seeing the pair of them immersed in their own world and doing all kinds of outrageous things, Carl thought, he must not forget everything around him just because of love, that would be terrible .

Withdrawing his consciousness, Karl sat in front of the telegraph and sent some work arrangements to William, and also learned about the situation in the company in the United States from William's reply.Leger walked lightly to Carl's side, bent down and said, "Master, Mrs. Cabot is here and wants to see you."

The author has something to say: If there are any revisions in the previous chapters, the typos will be corrected. You don’t have to go back and read it again, there will be no major revisions.

The eldest lady who doesn’t know the sufferings of the world is easy to be attracted by the experience of the poor boy. It feels fresh, exciting and colorful, but if she really let her go to that kind of life, the clothes and fabrics are poor, the food tastes bad, and the sleeping The bed, drinks, jewelry and bags have all deteriorated. It seems that it is not a big deal, but when I think about it, it is really impossible to adapt.The environment that is a few levels worse is not that it is impossible to survive, but that it is impossible to live happily.
