The Lost Mermaid [Zhongyingmei]

Doris asked the waiter to put the dessert on the tea table in the private corridor. After seeing him leave, she turned her eyes to Jack, who had not moved for a long time.

"you like her?"

Doris asked bluntly.

Jack woke up suddenly. He didn't speak, but looked down at Doris, neither acknowledging nor denying.

Doris looked into his shining eyes, confirming the guesses in her half-hearted mind.

"What are you talking about?" Carl's voice sounded from behind Jack, "What 'like'?"

Jack shrugged, making way for those behind him.

Carl's face was revealed, and beside him was 1900.

Carl strode defensively in front of Doris, blocking the space between Jack and Doris.Carl bent his body and deliberately whispered in Doris's ear: "I kept you waiting for a long time, Danny and I had a good chat and reached some consensus."

Doris felt a little sweet when he heard his deliberately lowered voice.

She didn't ask what kind of "consensus" it was. Anyway, these two people are the only two people in this world who treat themselves sincerely.

Carl pushed Doris' wheelchair into the suite, and 1900's voice came from behind: "Mr. Hockley, if I remember correctly, your room is at the opposite door. Before the ship leaves, I think you need to Pack your luggage well, after all, we are going to spend a short period of time here."

"Dawson will pack my luggage for me, right?" Carl paused and kicked the ball to Jack.

Jack curled his lips and nodded in response.

He walked out of the door and was about to close the door when he suddenly remembered his original intention of coming here.

"I have something to give to Doris." He put the drawing board in his hand on the porch, "It's here!"

Carl narrowed his eyes, looked at the book that had been thrown on the porch with stern eyes, and nodded.

Jack closed the door and left. 1900 picked up the book and handed it to Doris without opening it.

Doris guessed that this was the portrait he had promised to paint for her when she first met Jack.

The three sat down in the private corridor.

Carl thoughtfully arranged Doris in a backlight position, so the sunlight could still keep her warm, but it wouldn't hurt her eyes.

Carl pulled out his chair and took the place next to Doris's hand. 1900 snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't say much, just sat opposite Doris.

They didn't call the waiter, Carl did it himself, brought the dessert on the plate to Doris, and poured a cup of tea by his hand.

"Try it, the desserts in Paris cafes have always been popular with ladies."

Doris accepted his recommendation and took small sips to taste.The cream is mixed with the aroma of strawberries, and the sweet taste immediately captured her.Carl couldn't help feeling proud when he saw Doris' eyes light up.

1900 ate a piece of cake with big gulps, and said with a little disgust: "It's too sweet."

Doris looked at his clean dinner plate and couldn't help laughing inwardly.

Carl watched Doris finish eating the cake, and then asked tentatively, "Do you know Jack Dawson?"

"We're friends." 1900 took the lead, "When Doris disappeared, he also helped us a lot."

1900 mentioned the disappearance again, and Karl's face sank.

He looked at 1900's seemingly casual look, and understood his "beating".Just like the conversation with him just now, Doris's human brother only cares about her safety, and it is really a ticking time bomb that Joey Love is still by their side.

Doris nodded, she suddenly remembered the picture folder, took it out from the back of the wheelchair, and spread it on her lap.

"What is this?" Carl turned sideways, bringing himself closer to Doris, "Can I see it?"

"of course."

Doris said, and opened the folder.

It was indeed the portrait of the chapter that Doris had seen sketches.

The lower part of her body in the painting is a fish tail, entrenched on the rocks in the sea, the fish scales shining in the sun, forming circles of light.With her back against the reef, the fish circled by her tail and kissed her body.

In the painting, she raised her hands and face, looked at the seabirds and clouds flying freely in the sky, stretched out her hand, as if she was about to touch the sky connected with the sea water.

In the painting, she is carefree, just like every day and night before she came to the ground.

Doris looked at the cleanliness, innocence and simplicity in the eyes of the person in the painting, and suddenly felt as if she had passed away.

That was her in another world, another her that she had lost.

"He knows your origin!?" Carl's furious growl pulled her out of her memory.

Carl stared at the painting in her hand in disbelief, bloodshot eyes almost bulging out.

Doris' wrist was tightly grasped by Karl, and the slight prickly pain made her gasp.

Carl woke up suddenly, apologized again and again, let go of his hand, held her wrist at a loss, wanted to rub it gently, but was afraid of hurting her.

Doris sighed.

Carl hadn't been this prone to tantrums in a long time.

Since the knot left by his mother was untied, his temper has been restrained like an ordinary person, and now he suddenly lost control, and Doris knew that he was worried for himself.

The secret of the mermaid made him lose his mother, and that shadow has been tormenting him for more than twenty years.

"Carl, I'm fine." Doris held his trembling hand with the other hand, "Jack doesn't know my identity, he just imagines... Carl, I met at the port on the first day I arrived in England After him, his soul is clean and transparent, it is very appropriate for you to choose him as your helper."

But Karl hadn't quite recovered from the horror and shock.

"We want to ask, how did you and Jack Dawson get together?" 1900 pointed at the problem, "I couldn't be more shocked to see you standing together."

Doris glanced at 1900, saw him winking at her, and asked, "When I went to the afternoon tea of ​​the Countess of Rose, I was also invited to attend Mr. Edward's party, Jack He's also his friend!? If I didn't feel his 'cleanliness', I would almost consider him a follower!"

"Dawson found it himself." Carl replied, he took Doris's hand to his lips apologetically, and kissed the part that was pinched red just now, "Sorry, Doris, I messed up It hurts you."

"He proposed a deal with me - he is willing to be my helper to deal with Joey Love. Correspondingly, I only need to pay for a boat ticket for him."

"What is Jack going to do on the Titanic?" Doris was extremely puzzled.

1900 nodded: "A talented person like him would not be willing to stay in a small England - of course, this is not to say that Britain is bad, but compared to the United States, he can live in the same place as us. America has more opportunities."

Thinking of the conversation with Mary and Ruth that day, Doris frowned.

"It seems that Jack is a young man with great plans and ambitions."

Such a person might really be able to get along with Ruth...

"Hmph! It's not enough for a young man to be ambitious." Although Karl secretly praised his boldness and ambition in his heart, he didn't want to admit it.

"To get things done, courage is absolutely necessary." 1900 slowly poured the hot tea in his cup, implying something, "He has enough courage to abandon all people and things in Britain, just like abandoning all Shackles and revenge, even if there is nothing."

The tone of 1900 puts some emphasis on "people".

Karl understood what he meant, but Jack was alone and had limited things to abandon, but he was different.

Doris took his hand.

Carl felt a warmth on his wrist, and he looked down into Doris's eyes, her deep blue eyes were as wide and inclusive as the ocean, as if she was willing to benevolently accept all his decisions.

She trusts him and doesn't force him to make a choice.

'I couldn't live up to her trust. ' Carl warned himself.

He was ashamed of his momentary wavering.

Just as Karl was about to tell his plan, he heard a loud commotion and steam whistle outside.

"The Titanic sails!"

Carl walked quickly to the window, but there was a vast ocean outside.

"Go to my room, where the private corridor can see the shore."

Doris accepted the invitation.

She looked at 1900, only to see him waving his hand: "You guys go, I'll go back to my room, I still have a lot of things to do!" After speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes, got up and left.

Doris said in surprise: "I thought my brother wouldn't let the two of us..." As she spoke, a smog rose on her cheeks.

Carl just smiled at her, stood up, pushed Doris' wheelchair through the living room, and walked towards the door.

He handed the key to Doris: "Danny won't allow me to take your key, dear. You have to put it away, don't let this beast get out of control and break into your garden."

Doris lowered her head after hearing his ambiguous words.

but……

"You actually called him Danny!" Doris was surprised by the title.

Carl laughed loudly: "Don't let him hear it!"

Carl and Doris's room was opposite, and he quickly opened the door to invite his mermaid to the beast's domain.

The decoration here is the same as Doris's room, they didn't dawdle much, and walked straight to the private corridor on the other side.

The doors of the living room and corridor were opened, and what greeted the eyes was a scene of human fireworks.

Countless people on the port were waving to the Titanic. They were screaming, cheering, waving clothes and silk scarves, excitedly watching the world's largest and most luxurious cruise ship officially put into work for the first time. Into the brilliant seaway flowing with the shining sun.

Carl flung the window open, and more powerful screams and cheers poured in.

Not only the shore, but also the decks of the Titanic were crowded with people, and the ear-piercing shouts pierced the eardrums.

"Carl! Look! The coast is moving!" Doris excitedly clapped on the window frame and stood up.

"My mermaid, it's us who are moving, it's the Titanic that is moving." Carl wrapped his arms around her and held her waist firmly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart how thin and light she was. It can hold her slender waist.

Doris froze for a moment, then burst into a smile, realizing how ridiculous she had just said.

Carl was worried that her feet would hurt if she stood for a long time, so he quietly used his strength to make Doris lean on him.

Doris sensed his movements without struggle or objection.

She turned her head, and all she could see was his slightly stubbled chin.

"Carl."

"Ok?"

Doris took his hand and turned around.

With a little effort, she jumped up and sat herself on the windowsill.

"Doris!" Carl was taken aback by her bold action, "Get down quickly, it's too easy to fall!"

But Doris was not frightened by his serious expression, she smiled slyly and clung to his neck like a cat.Carl was anxious and panicked, so he had no choice but to support her back, bent down, and let her lean in his arms.

Doris wrapped her arms firmly around his shoulders.

Carl almost blurted out the words of reprimand, which were instantly blocked by her lips.

His heart was beating extremely fast, and he was almost overwhelmed by the little mermaid's reckless actions.But her lips/tongue have learned to soothe and tease a beast without a teacher, taking his air coquettishly with his favor.

It's so sweet that it's as if all the sugar in the world has gathered together.

Behind Doris is thousands of miles in the world, and in front of her eyes is her unique captive.
