Chapter 61: Helping the Childhood Sweetheart Win Back Her Beau

Lu Si is a prisoner, with three prisons on her.

Last night, her fiancé Ka Er reminded Lu Si to fulfill her duties as a fiancée; this is the prison of marriage.

Tonight after the mother's banquet, she again reminded Lu Si of the family's current situation; this is the prison of family.

The prison of freedom is a prison custom-made by Lu Si for herself; she binds herself.

The threefold prisons heavily press on Lu Si, making her unable to breathe; the faint spark of rebellion that Su Qing had inspired in her was mercilessly snuffed out.

After the banquet ended and she returned to her room, in despair Lu Si gave up on Su Qing, gave up on freedom, and once again chose to jump into the sea to end her miserable life.

But she didn't expect to meet Su Qing again at the bow, and be saved by him in the same way once more.

Moreover, this time they did something beyond the realm of friendship, but precisely this kiss that broke the bonds awakened Lu Si's self.

It seemed as if the sound of shackles breaking echoed deep within her soul.

In just a moment, Lu Si understood, breaking through her three prisons; she responded without reservation, yearning, indulging.

At the moment when they blended like water and milk, Lu Si finally gained freedom, soaring like a bird, carefree and joyfully free.

"I love you, Su!" Lu Si murmured, leaning into Su Qing's embrace, full of deep affection.

Hearing this, Su Qing's spirits lifted; without saying a word, he flipped over and performed a set of four-character idiom, responding to Lu Si with actual action.

Forty minutes later, the dismissal bell rang, and the lesson ended.

Su Qing half-leaned against the headboard, wondering whether to have a post-coital cigarette.

But considering Lu Si was beside him, he extinguished the thought.

At this moment, Lu Si came to her senses from the pleasure; her pure white arms, like a snake, climbed up Su Qing's neck, and she coquettishly said, "Su, I want you to paint a picture of me, recording this very moment."

"Okay." Su Qing nodded in agreement, but then shifted tone, sternly saying, "You must be properly clothed to paint."

"Why?" Lu Si asked curiously; she had originally wanted to let her lover paint her most beautiful moment just as she was.

"Um, a painter's principle: no clothes, I definitely won't paint." Su Qing casually blurted out, he couldn't possibly say he didn't want to, like Jack in the movie, paint Lu Si naked, then the ship sank, and the painting was fished out for people to freely admire Lu Si's naked body.

In this regard, Su Qing is relatively conservative; he cannot bear to have Lu Si's naked body displayed before others.

Even if the painting could not possibly be lost from his hands, he still wouldn't do that.

In short, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Alright!"

Lu Si's tone was a bit regretful, but she obediently got up and put on her clothes.

Next, Su Qing devoted himself wholeheartedly, and soon completed the painting.

The two lingered, admiring it for a while, and then Lu Si was about to leave.

Although she had decided to leave the ship together with Su Qing, she was still on board and still needed to consider her fiancé Ka Er and her mother.

Su Qing personally escorted Lu Si back to her room; the process went very smoothly, without any incident of Ka Er's butler discovering their lovey-dovey melodrama.

Of course, given Su Qing's current strength, if they were still discovered, that would be truly ghostly.

"See you tomorrow."

"Mm!"

"Mua……"

After kissing Lu Si goodbye, Su Qing returned to his room and began tidying up.

How to put it!

Lu Si, having broken free of the prisons, became extremely wild; the originally luxurious big bed is now a messy mess.

While cleaning, Su Qing also thought about how to resolve the Ka Er issue.

Kill him.

This is simple; he can now silently kill Ka Er.

But is Ka Er a villain?

Not really; in the movie, from start to finish he also loved Lu Si, but Lu Si didn't love him—put bluntly, he's just a victim.

Is he a hero then?

Not necessarily; with a strong desire for control, he treats Lu Si as his private property, controlling everything about her, even what she eats, not allowing her to have her own thoughts.

All things considered, it's not yet enough to kill Ka Er.

So, how should we handle him then?

Wait……

It seems there's a way……

Su Qing slapped his head, pulled out from his luggage a thumb-sized bottle containing seven or eight pea-sized pink pills.

These are exactly the aphrodisiac he once found on Kailwen in the Budapest sewer.

Now that Lu Si is with me, Ka Er has lost his fiancée, so I'll get him a new fiancée!

"Don't worry, Ka Er, I'll help you find a fiancée who likes you." Su Qing played with the bottle, muttering to himself.

Speaking of which, Ka Er is truly a rich second-generation heir; his father is a steel magnate, and he's not bad-looking either.

Handsome, wealthy, and still a noble, Ka Er is very popular among noble young ladies in high society.

Over these two days on the ship, while Su Qing was painting, he more than once heard young noble ladies around him discussing Ka Er, lamenting the fact that he had a fiancée, and jealously saying: Why isn't the fiancée me!

So, finding a new fiancée for Ka Er is very simple.

However, Su Qing isn't trying to screw Ka Er over; he plans to help him find a more virtuous one.

……

Time flew by; at noon the next day, Su Qing woke from his dream.

Last night, he and Lu Si teamed up to play a four-character game for two or three hours; his body wasn't tired, but his mind was somewhat fatigued.

After tidying the room, just as soon as I lay down, I fell into a deep sleep; my mind was free of any other thoughts.

Su Qing washed up, then as usual brought his sketchpad and brush to the deck. Just as he sat down and made a stroke on the paper, he saw Ka Er sitting and chatting with several wealthy people dressed in fine clothes.

Looking at their satisfied expressions, they must be discussing something good.

He activated Super Hearing to listen closely, and Su Qing's face immediately showed a speechless expression.

He had thought they were discussing politics or money, but after a while it turned out they were talking about women.

Their eyes gleamed with greed; they were nothing but dressed-up beasts, old lechers.

He muttered to himself, Su Qing multitasked—sketching while eavesdropping—and learned that Ka Er actually had a childhood sweetheart from early on.

According to the script, the two were the most suited to become a married couple.

But in the end, the childhood sweetheart could not withstand the heaven-sent rival.

By a chance encounter, this childhood sweetheart of Ka Er met Lu Si.

Although it was only their first meeting, Ka Er fell for Lu Si at first sight, abandoned his childhood sweetheart, and turned to pursue Lu Si.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Si's mother was overjoyed; a golden turtle son-in-law had practically delivered himself, leaving no reason to refuse.

Regardless of Lu Si's feelings, she directly agreed to Ka Er on her behalf.

This is how the present situation came about.

No need to elaborate; basically, that childhood sweetheart deeply loved Ka Er and followed him onto the Titanic, even residing near him.

"No matter which world, a heaven-sent arrival is truly a dimensional strike."

Su Qing put down his brush, feeling indignant for Ka Er's childhood sweetheart, and decided to send the childhood sweetheart back to her side.

He devised a simple plan in his mind, then continued painting.

Perhaps because of last night's excess, Lu Si didn't appear all day today; Su Qing silently nodded, thinking this was normal behavior.

After Lu Si lost her virginity last night, she seemed to feel no pain and behaved very wildly.

This led him to think Western women's bodies were all that formidable, but now it seems he overestimated. Selinna is an exception; a vampire's physique makes breaking her hymen trivial.

Time passed just like that, uneventfully.

Soon night fell.

Su Qing turned into a black shadow and silently left the room.

As he cautiously entered Ka Er's room, he found Ka Er already asleep.

That was perfect.

Su Qing quietly came to Ka Er's bedside, and taking advantage of the gaps in his snoring, he tossed a pea-sized pink pill into Ka Er's mouth.

This pill was what Kailwen used against Selinna.

A drug that can affect a vampire is naturally not simple in potency.

In an instant, Ka Er woke from sleep, completely lost his reason, his eyes turning red as he began tearing at his own clothes.

Seeing this, Su Qing grabbed Ka Er from behind, brought him to the childhood sweetheart's door, and knocked.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Who?"

A woman's voice came from inside the room.

Su Qing pinched his throat to imitate Ka Er's voice: "It's me!"

The woman inside fell silent for a moment, opened the door, and then saw Ka Er with bloodshot eyes.

"Ka Er..."

"Ah, Ka Er, what are you doing?"

"..."

At the hallway corner, Su Qing watched Ka Er hoist the woman at the door and rush into the room, then flicked his hand and drifted away.

As for the ensuing drama, he had no interest in watching.
