Chapter 1,678 A caged bird?

The ending of "Titanic" is a well-known thing. The ship sank!

So why does it sink?

This is actually a foreshadowing!

Because it was the maiden voyage, and because it was watched by the whole world, the captain couldn't stand the temptation!

Speed ​​up, speed up!

Of course, this was just an interlude, and it quickly returned to Rose and Jack.

The two chatted, as if they had endless topics to talk about. Under the sunset, the two of them were on the deck, and Jack continued to talk about his "wandering" experience.

Rose listened with great interest, perhaps because she found someone with whom she had a common topic.

"It would be great if I could do this too!" she said with some envy.

"If you want to go, just go, go wherever you want, say we will go to that pier, even if it's just a talk!" she added.

"No, we will definitely go. We can drink cheap beer, ride the roller coaster until we vomit, and we will ride horses on the beach, but like cowboys, we can't sit sideways!" Jack continued to describe Rose's incomparable

The picture of longing.

"Sit with your legs crossed?" Rose thought it was too unorthodox.

"Um!"

"can you teach me?"

"Okay, if you like!"

"Teach me how to ride like a man!"

"Chewing tobacco like men?"

"And spitting like a man!"

"Didn't you teach that at school?"

"No! No!"

"Come on, I'll teach you!" Jack said, holding Rose's hand, but Rose had obviously never done such an unorthodox thing, so she seemed to flinch, but she was still pulled over by Jack.

"Look clearly!" Jack took a deep breath and then spat toward the sea!

"How disgusting!" Rose couldn't help but said.

"It's your turn!" Jack said.

Rose looked around, then quickly spat.

But Jack was not satisfied and said she had to take a breath and then spit it out.

Rose really imitated his example, taking a deep breath and then spitting vigorously.

But just at this moment, her mother and the ladies came over from the other side of the deck.

When she saw her daughter Rose actually doing such a thing, her face became extremely ugly.

Rose found her mother coming and could only introduce Jack to her mother with some embarrassment.

However, Mrs. Molly found it very interesting and kindly reminded Jack that he had not wiped the saliva off his chin.

"Others were very nice to Jack and wanted to get to know the man who saved my life, but my mother thought he was a bug! A pest that needed to be eliminated immediately!" the voice of an elderly Rose sounded off-screen.

"It seems that you are a brave person!" Mrs. Molly admired Jack very much and said with a smile.

At this time, when it was time for dinner, the restaurant signaled with a trumpet, which made Mrs. Molly very dissatisfied: "Why do they have to charge like cavalry every time they ask people to have dinner?"

When Rose and her mother left, Mrs. Molly did not leave. She called Jack and said, "Son, do you know what you are going to do later?"

"Not very clear!" Jack shook his head.

"What are you going to wear?" Mrs. Molly asked, looking at his attire.

Jack spread his hands in confusion, wondering if the clothes he was wearing couldn't be done?

But Mrs. Molly shook her head: "I knew it, come on!"

She pulled Jack away and put on her son's clothes!

After Jack put on his suit and ties, he looked at himself in the mirror. Mrs. Molly also looked at her and said, "Look at how human you are!"

As she spoke, she laughed happily.

Obviously, she knew that Carl had bad intentions in inviting Jack. Only Jack himself didn't know, and he was still immersed in the longing of being able to have dinner with Rose.

Jack, who had a new look and looked extremely handsome, came to the restaurant during dinner time.

It's just that he is just a person from the lower class. When he came here, even though he changed his clothes and combed his hair, he still didn't fit in.

He learned other people's gestures to greet people.

He saw Karl and Rose's mother walking down the stairs and rushed to greet them, but the other party turned a blind eye to him and simply ignored him.

Seeing Jack's awkward appearance alone, Rose couldn't help but laugh.

He imitated what he saw in the movie, kissed Rose's hand, and then bent his arm for Rose to hold hers.

Rose pulled Karl, who was chatting with his mother, and reintroduced Jack to him.

Carl was surprised when he saw Jack wearing a dress: "Incredible! You almost look like a gentleman!"

"Almost?" Jack could hear the sarcasm in his words.

"How interesting!" Karl didn't respond to him at all.

Instead, she turned around and left with Rose's mother in her arms.

Arriving at the banquet hall, Rose introduced the people here to Jack, but her tone couldn't help but take on a sarcastic tone.

At this time, Mrs. Molly came. She took Jack's other arm and said, "Actually, it's okay. They love money. Just pretend you own a gold mine and everything will be fine!"

She revealed the essence of the so-called upper class society in one sentence.

Jack was introduced to others under the leadership of Molly.

"He must be very nervous, but he didn't lose his composure!" Old Rose's voice came again.

"They thought he looked very rich. He was from a railroad family, so he might not have been successful for a long time, but he was still considered a wealthy person. But my mother still looked calm!" the elderly Rose's voice fell.

Return to the ship's restaurant.

Rose's mother revealed Jack's true identity in one word: "Mr. Dawson, are you comfortable living in the lower cabin? I heard it's pretty good."

Jack did not lose his composure but said calmly: "That's great, there are only a few mice!"

Everyone burst into laughter, thinking that Rose's mother and Jack were joking.

Karl added: "He came from the third class, and he helped my fiancée last night!"

Rose was very dissatisfied with Carl's words and defended Jack: "In fact, Mr. Dawson is very good at painting. I have seen his works!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How could Karl feel comfortable hearing his fiancée speak for another man? He immediately said: "Rose and I have very different views on art.

Of course, I’m not saying your work is bad!”

But everyone could hear what he meant.

The meal was served, but Jack looked at the table full of dazzling tableware and was completely at a loss. Even though Rose was hinting at him, he still didn't understand how to use these things.

"Are these all mine?" He had to turn to Mrs. Molly.

"Use the one on the outside first!" Mrs. Molly taught him in a low voice.

The waiter came to serve the caviar and asked him how he wanted to use it. Jack said, "I don't like caviar. I never have!"

In fact, it's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't understand what the other person means.

Rose's mother suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Dawson, where do you live?"

"I'm living on this ship now, and it depends on God's arrangement in the future." Jack replied.

"How do you have money to travel?" Rose's mother continued to make things difficult.

"I work everywhere, and I travel on cargo ships!" Jack said directly, and he did not feel embarrassed or ashamed about it.

"I won my ticket to the Titanic through gambling. I'm so lucky!" He even said more.

It's just obvious that Rose's mother is not a real upper class person herself, or she doesn't know other real "gentlemen" that well.

Jack's frankness did not attract ridicule, but instead: "Life depends on luck!"

Karl smiled: "A hero creates his own luck? Right!"

"Not bad!" Jack nodded.

"So, Mr. Dawson, do you like wandering around like this?" Rose's mother still had no intention of letting him go.

This sentence touched Jack, and he could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes, I like this!"

"I mean, I have all my belongings with me, I have a healthy body, and paper to draw on, and I like when I wake up in the morning, I don't know what I'm going to encounter or where I'm going to sleep. The first two days

I spent the night under the bridge, but now I am on this luxurious ship, drinking champagne with you!"

He gradually became more and more relaxed and let go.

Speaking of which, I don't have any inferiority complex, just very calm, indifferent and casual.

But the more he is like this, the less likely he is to be looked down upon by others, and everyone else is amused by his free and easy attitude.

"Life is given by God. I don't intend to waste it. Things are unpredictable. I can only take things as they come. Here you go, Carl!" As he said this, Jack threw a lighter to Carl, who held it in his hand.

"Seize the time!" Jack said and raised his glass.

In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared. Mrs. Molly said immediately: "That makes sense!"

Others also joined in and raised their glasses to drink together.

The fact that Jack was not embarrassed obviously did not satisfy Carl and Rose's mother.

Later, when Jack was about to leave, Rose asked: "Do you have to go?"

"We slaves are going boating, good night Rose!" He kissed the hand again.

When shaking hands, she secretly hid a note that said he was waiting for her outside.

When Rose came out, Jack asked her: "Would you like to attend a real PARTY?"

The two of them came to the lower cabin area together, where the "poor people" were also holding their party.

There are not so many red tapes and not so many etiquettes that need to be paid attention to.

You don't need to use so many tableware to eat here, and there are no people to serve you. It's not that spacious, but the smiles on people's faces are real. They sing and dance casually, and talk to each other happily, without restraint!

This made Rose, who had been troubled by all kinds of etiquette, all kinds of hypocrisy, and all kinds of precautions, like a bird out of its cage.

Of course, Rose was a little at a loss at first, but under Jack's leadership, she danced with Jack in a dance she had never danced before, and drank swigs of cheap wine.

They won't feel rude if wine is spilled on you, and no one will ask you what your family does or which family you are the son of.

She completely released her inner wildness and did whatever she wanted. She even smoked men's cigarettes, lifted her skirts and performed ballet movements, laughing and playing as much as she wanted.

She laughed in Jack's arms and was clearly seen by the butler who was looking for her.

After the carnival, the free bird returned to the cage, but Karl knew all this and he was furious.

"My fiancée? Yes, she is still my wife. You said you should be loyal to me, just like a wife is loyal to her husband. No one else can play tricks on me. Isn't this clear enough?"

"No!" Rose was frightened. It was the first time she saw Karl so angry.

Later, Rose's mother also came to warn her: "Don't meet him again, do you understand?"

Rose didn't say a word, and her voice became stern: "Rose, you are not allowed to see him again!"

"Okay, don't be so angry!" Rose comforted.

But the mother said angrily: "Stop messing around, you know?"

"We are in a difficult situation, you know we have no money!"

"Of course I know, you remind me every day!" Rose looked at her mother and said.

"Your father left a lot of debt. Fortunately, his reputation is still there. This is all we have to rely on. I really don't understand you. Only if you marry him can we survive!" Rose's mother said with a sincere look.

But Rose didn't appreciate it at all: "This is too much responsibility!"

"Why are you so selfish?" Rose's mother said angrily.

"Am I selfish?" Rose asked her.

She was asked so hard that she couldn't stand down and could only play the emotional card: "Do you want to see me become a female worker? Do you want that? Do you want to watch our family sell off their property and leave us with nothing?"

As she spoke, she turned around and covered her mouth with a sad look.

Seeing her mother like this, Rose let out a long breath and said, "It's so unfair!"

"Of course it's not fair. We are a family of women. We can't just do whatever we want!"

At this point in the conversation between mother and daughter, it seems that Rose has accepted this unfairness.

Jack didn't know what happened to Rose. He wanted to come to her with great expectations, but was blocked by the guard at the door.

He thought it was because he was disheveled, so when he came to the deck, he secretly took other people's clothes.

At the same time, Rose was talking to Andrew, the ship's designer. She wondered if the lifeboats on the ship were not enough to accommodate the entire ship. Andrew told her that in fact, the lifeboats could only accommodate half of the people on the ship.

He said that if the latest boom was used, another row of lifeboats could be hung, but people said that would be too crowded and affect the beauty of the deck.

This is actually paving the way for the subsequent ship to sink but not enough people to be saved.

After Jack disguised himself, he secretly invited Rose to meet him.

Rose told him that they couldn't meet, but Jack persisted: "I have something to tell you!"

"Jack, I'm engaged. I want to marry Karl. I love Karl!" Rose said to him.

"Rose, you are not an easy person to get along with, and you are even a little pampered, but deep down, you are the most refined and nicest girl I have ever seen. I never knew it before, and I also know that people are so sophisticated. I only have ten of them.

Money, I have nothing to give you, I understand that, but I can't help myself anymore. If you dance, I will dance, remember? I have to make sure you are happy before I can turn around! I have no other requirements!" Jack said affectionately

He looked at Rose and said.

"I'm fine! I'm going to be fine! Really!"

"Really? I don't believe it! They have trapped you. If you don't break free, you will die. Maybe not now, because you are very strong, but sooner or later, the fire of my love will go out!

"Jack said, stroking Rose's face.

Rose held back her tears and said, "You can't save me, Jack!"

"You're right! Only you can save yourself!"

"I'm going back, don't look for me again!"

She left after all!
