[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

Whether or not Carl was sloppy the next day, Jack didn't get up all day the next day.Carl simply followed Jack on the bed and read the books he was interested in, chatting casually all day long.The next night, Jack put on his pajamas resolutely, making it impossible for Carl's purpose to be realized.

In the days that followed, Jack resolutely refused to allow Carl to appear at the Berlin University of the Arts, and he also started the last busy before the end of the semester. The school library has many books that Jack is interested in. What's more interesting is that he found a book that let Carl The book that almost choked on - "Totem and Taboo".

Watching Jack flipping through "Totems and Taboos" with great interest, Carl suddenly had a feeling of being speechless. If Jack turned around and asked him, was their relationship a "longing for and breaking through" taboos? Carl Guaranteed to want to cry for Jack—psychology, Carl had no talent for it.

"Jack, are you interested in these contents?" Carl lay flat on the bed and looked at Jack sideways in a relaxed posture.

Jack glanced at Carl for a second, then returned to the mysterious book and smiled: "Recently I want to draw a classical painting of Oedipus King, but it is difficult to find the feeling, I think another way may be more able to express emotions .I need a little help channeling my tangled feelings onto the canvas."

"Why did you suddenly fall in love with the tragic hero?" Carl asked, stroking Jack's cheek with his hand. Jack threw down the book and lay down on the bed thinking for a while and shook his head.

"I'm not sure, it's just that when I saw it, I suddenly felt like drawing him."

"Willing to move forward with mistakes, never stop rebellious footsteps, and never stop resisting fate." Carl decided to give his dear boy a little help. This is the most classic interpretation of Oedipus King in the future, and it is also true now The same applies to the relationship between the two of them and society as a whole.

Jack was stunned for a moment, then hugged Carl and kissed him a few times and ran out of the bedroom quickly: "Thank you, Carl."

Carl still maintained the posture of reaching out his hand. After a while, Carl sighed. It was like this every time. When he wanted inspiration, he had to lie on this bed alone.Carl suddenly felt funny when he thought of Jack's complaints when he was drunk yesterday. Jack always felt that his work was more important, and he was always helpless because Jack threw him aside for painting.

"Okay, you go to draw, I'll go to bed first, Jack." Carl said to himself, then closed his eyes, a cold body slipped into Carl's arms in the early morning, familiar arms and The slender waist made Carl hold him directly in his arms, and the next morning, Jack fell asleep peacefully with his numbed arm on his pillow.

Carl looked at Jack's tired look with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes again.Staying up during the holidays is really a good decision, they should consider sleeping until noon for the entire Christmas holiday.With a relaxed mind, Carl hugged Jack and slept together until the hunger was unbearable before getting out of bed.

After an intimate shower and change together, Carl and Jack appeared at the dinner table.The roasted turkey and the milk ball with an apple in its mouth have been placed on the dining table by Mr. Bowen. Gavin is helping him to arrange the tableware on the table. The shiny silver knife and fork add to the Christmas atmosphere It's a lot more intense, and the colorful lights that hang in the house even if there are no children are very pleasing.It was the first time that the small house with only two people felt so lively all year round.

After the meal, Carl hugged Jack and kissed his lips meticulously. A necklace with a heavy pendant pressed Jack's neck. Carl licked the corner of his mouth and said, "As long as you have another necklace, I don't think you will I will continue to hang the ring I gave you around your neck, and...you no longer need to hide it in school, I think your classmates and teachers understand what is going on."

Jack reached out to touch the necklace and widened his eyes: "Heart of the Ocean? Why do you keep carrying it?"

Carl shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said rascally: "I forgot, now it belongs to you. Do you want to hang it around your neck, or wear it on your fingers?"

As Carl said, he kissed Jack's ring finger, sucked, licked and bit the last finger, and the tingling feeling passed up the fingers, reaching Jack's heart.In front of Mr. Bowen and Gavin, Jack suddenly felt a shy feeling of being proposed in public, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.

Jack struggled to use the lock of the gold necklace on Jack's neck with his right hand to hold the ring written with Karl's love language in his palm.Carl grabbed the ring forcefully and put it on Jack's finger, leaving him no way out.Before Jack could fully experience the moving or other emotions, Carl lazily carried Jack on his shoulders back to the bedroom.

They spent the rest of the vacation in the bedroom. A month later, Carl boarded the cruise ship back to the United States contentedly.Jack was completely busy with the rest of his vacation plans, wasting too much time in bed.When Carl returned home with a happy face, he saw Mr. Henry with a soft creature in the cradle beside him...

"Wow~!!!" The crying woke Carl up. He looked at his father in disbelief. Mr. Henry sighed and turned to leave the living room, leaving Lai Fujie skillfully taking care of the child. He thought of Carl and raised his chin , Karl immediately ran in the direction Mr. Henry left.

Before Mr. Henry closed the door tightly, Carl took the opportunity to squeeze in the door.Mr. Henry glanced at Carl, chuckled and fell into the sofa and bit a cigar. After he took a hard puff, he said, "Carl, my boy. I really don't want me to be the one to make a step back, but you It's my son. It's obvious what you mean by dangling in front of me with a ring every day, and there's no point in holding on. That baby is a child of a distant relative in our family. His parents are dead, and my My cousin is having a headache trying to find a foster home for him. I kindly resolved the issue. In a few months, I will send a telegram to tell him that the child has not survived pneumonia. From today onwards, he is a child of the Hawley family, yes Your own son. Have you made up your mind? Tomorrow I will recognize the social status of your illegitimate child, even if you get married...you have no way out..."

Carl kept staring into Mr. Henry's eyes until the old gentleman finished speaking. He slowly knelt on one knee on the ground and let his cheek rest on Mr. Henry's leg. He couldn't describe the gratitude in his heart: "Father , thank you, I will not regret it."

Mr. Henry closed his eyes and sighed, stroking Carl's hair with wrinkled palms, his voice was very weak: "Carl, I just hope you don't regret it in the future, if you still want to marry a wife and have children, then you can only Take care of this child's life yourself, otherwise, he will be your eldest son..."

Silence spread between Mr. Henry and Carl. After a while, Mr. Henry patted Karl on the back: "Go downstairs and see him, that little guy is very similar to you when you were a child, especially the nose."

"Yes, father." Carl stood up from the ground after speaking. When he opened the door, he looked back into Mr. Henry's eyes and said softly, "Father, I am very happy now."

"Bastard, get out! I haven't found a stepmother for you yet, don't you think it's a pity! Don't give up a moment to stimulate your old and frail father." Mr. Henry pointed at the door and shouted loudly.

Before closing the door, Carl said suddenly: "Father, Lai Fujie is actually pretty good. You haven't found a woman in almost half a year, so admit it honestly. Actually, I don't mind calling him stepfather."

Mr. Henry's face turned red all of a sudden, he didn't say anything but shook his hands and put down the thick book that he wanted to throw out the door.Carl walked downstairs in a good mood, deliberately hugged Lai Fujie and shouted loudly: "Stepfather, I wish you and your father a happy life."

"Cough,... Carl, just call me Lai Fujie, I don't like this name." Lai Fujie's tense face was revealed on his reddish face, which finally made the old housekeeper look very popular, and Carl immediately followed his words to find him. Continue to fight your own father's methods.

"Oh, of course, the stepfather seems too unfamiliar, why not call me 'Spicer' like my father."

"Karl Hawley, shut up!" Mr. Henry roared upstairs, and the baby who had just been put to sleep by Lai Fujie burst into crying again with a "wow", and the child's unique sharpness resisted Mr. Henry's arrogance , He completely shut his mouth and said nothing.

Carl followed Lai Fujie to learn how to take care of the child, and slowly the baby in his arms twitched and bit his fingers and fell asleep again, and Carl breathed a sigh of relief.Lai Fujie watched Carl's expression with a smile on his lips. He watched Carl's gesture with appreciation and stretched out his thumb, and then quietly walked up to the second floor.

The whole [-] seemed to be spent in silence, except that Mr. Henry and Carl received more and more military supplies orders and more and more domestic business opportunities.Carl couldn't believe what he heard when he got the message on the phone, and he just casually said to the researchers who were thinking about the shape of the plane: "Maybe a sealed cockpit is better."

He never thought that he would really get the surprising news at the end of the year. His machinery company actually invented a closed airplane at this time... What Karl saw after being excited was the huge commercial value. The most familiar thing Karl has done since then is probably applying for patent rights.

The more gratifying thing is that the matter is not over yet. Mr. Waxman, who graduated from university ahead of schedule, took his own laboratory to successfully isolate and artificially cultivate the bacteria required for the biogas quartet according to Carl's vision.The farmhouses that had been prepared during construction were immediately utilized, and the beef cattle raised in the pastures were driven into the new houses.

The biogas produced concentratedly was sold to nearby residents' homes by Karl unceremoniously.Now it seems that the return on this investment is the smallest, but Carl is smiling happily. When everyone starts to pay attention to health, the "green vegetables" with his company's label in the supermarket will definitely have the biggest sales.

The by-product citric acid, even after being patented by Carl, temporarily sold the right to use it to Hershey Chocolate for himself and Mr. Tuxman to make a fortune.Karl unceremoniously asked for the naming rights of this sweet and sour chocolate-jealousy.Jack received a gift from the Hershey Chocolate Company in Germany for the first time. Within three years, he would eat a box of chocolates every week.

Carl even sold one of his ideas to the Hershey Chocolate Company without hesitation, printing love words related to jealousy on the inner wall of the chocolate wrapper.When Jack opened the chocolate wrapping paper, he always had the illusion that Carl was reminding him not to steal it, which made Jack blush and avoid Mr. Bowen's sight every time he ate chocolate.

In the cold winter, Karl once again boarded the cruise ship to Germany, this time Mr. Henry, Lai Fujie and Karl's son Jeffrey.The day when the family was reunited was supposed to be together. Jack came out of the studio covered in oil paint. He stared blankly at the four men who appeared at the door, and then hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Re-introduce, Father, this is my partner Jack. Jack, that soft one is my son Jeffrey, who my father found from Ireland." Carl looked Jack in the eyes, quietly reached out to hold him and stood Paint palms.

What is more difficult for Mr. Henry and Jack to get along naturally is the housing problem. Jack gave up his bedroom to Mr. Henry and Lai Fujie. Although little Jeffery can sleep with his grandfather, Jack and Carl can only sleep in the studio. Nope—Mr. Bowen's room had only a single bed.

Karl has never slept in a "bed" with only a quilt under him in his life. After lying down, he felt that he didn't dare to turn over. The feeling of being hit by the floor to his shoulders made Karl very awake, and he felt that his sleepiness had disappeared.Compared to Carl's hypocrisy, Jack slept very sweetly in his arms, so sweet that Carl wanted to push him to the floor...

They don't seem to be on the floor yet... well, it's not the time to think about it, he should be thinking about bringing Jack back to America, Europe is really going to be messed up, Carl doesn't want Jack to take risks, even in America he can Find a way to make Jack famous.People whom Karl cherished in his heart did not need to bet on their lives and safety in the midst of heavy artillery fire.

"Carl, can't you sleep? Why don't you put the quilt under the bed, anyway, the fireplace is very hot, and you won't be cold without the quilt." Jack propped himself up and looked at Carl.

"Aren't you asleep? I'm thinking about something." Carl reached out and stroked Jack's cheek. During the more than a year of getting together, the beard on Jack's chin had gradually hardened, and now it was a bit prickly.

"I fell asleep, but you turned back and forth and I woke up. Is there anything embarrassing about me?" Jack guessed, the flames in the fireplace reflected on the faces of the two, Carl watched Jack sit Get up and hug him tightly.

"I doubt there will be a war in Europe next year, come back to America with me."

As soon as the words came out, Carl and Jack stared into each other's eyes and fell silent suddenly.
