Ah-choo!"
Seeing Li Qingyuan looking like he hadn't woken up, Rose immediately walked to his side with concern.
"Qingyuan, didn't you get enough rest?"
"I've been getting inspiration these past two nights, so I can't sleep at night!" He had been working almost twenty-four hours a day for the past two days, making explosives and refrigerants during the day, and running to the bottom hold to smash steel plates at night when it was quiet.
After learning about the fatal flaws in the current sulfurized steel technology, he started working day and night.
Because the noise during the day was too loud, he could only sneak off to smash the ship when no one was around at night.
He poured the refrigerant onto the steel plates in the bottom hold, waited for ten minutes, and then gently tapped the steel plates with a small hammer after frost began to form.
The cooled steel plates tapped by the small hammer looked no different on the surface, but if you looked closely, you would find many tiny patterns on these steel plates.
These patterns were so subtle that it was difficult to notice anything unusual even if you stared at them with wide eyes.
There would definitely be no problems with normal driving, and even if they were hit by fish in the ocean, as long as they weren't sharks, whales, or swordfish, which are large-tonnage and powerful killer fish, there wouldn't be any major problems.
But if they were hit by the aftershock of an explosion!
Needless to say, these steel plates would definitely shatter like glass.
Forty-eight consecutive hours of high-intensity physical labor, while also having to prevent being discovered like a thief, was a difficult task for Li Qingyuan.
Fortunately, the body he transmigrated into was young. If it had been his previous body, which was tormented by various sub-health issues, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete it.
"Do you have a new poem? Can you tell it to me?" Rose's eyes lit up as she took out a small notebook from her pocket, ready to record it.
"Some other time, I might need to rest now." Yawning again, he really wasn't in the mood to deal with this innocent girl.
The mission time was tonight, and he had to conserve his energy to deal with any unexpected events that might occur.
"Are you going to sleep? But it's nine o'clock in the morning!" Rose looked at the clock on the wall in surprise, unable to understand someone's biological clock.
"Rose, you have to know that as a poet, my biological rhythm is different from ordinary people. Late at night and early in the morning are when my mental state is at its best and most excited."
"I understand! Then please rest well, I will stop the others." A gleam flashed in Rose's eyes, and then she nodded.
Without any interest in understanding what Rose understood, Li Qingyuan, who had stayed up for two consecutive nights, entered dreamland.
"Ugh!"
He didn't know how long he had slept before he woke up from a sweet dream.
Speaking of which, why does it feel like there's someone else in the bed?
"Rose, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the woman next to him and then at the sky outside, Li Qingyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
To be honest, although he definitely couldn't be considered a good person, he was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't walk when he saw a woman.
These past few days, this girl Rose had been teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, but he had been able to resist with great perseverance. The most important reason was that he didn't want to cause trouble.
The main reason he was able to thrive on the Titanic was because he was familiar with the plot and had put on a disguise for himself. But if he got involved with this woman Rose, God knows what kind of messy things would happen.
Being frivolous when you have the ability is called enjoying life; being frivolous when you don't have the ability is just asking for death.
That's why he hadn't responded to Rose's advances.
But he really couldn't figure out why this girl was here by his side?
"Qingyuan, you're awake!"
Compared to his confusion, Rose seemed much more casual. She didn't care at all that she wasn't wearing anything, and greeted him casually.
"Um, why are you here?" After thinking for a moment, Li Qingyuan felt that he still had to ask.
Although this question was a bit too straightforward, he really did sleep from morning until now without doing anything!
If this woman wanted to rely on him because of this, he wouldn't admit it.
"I came to call you to the dinner party, but when I came, I found you were still sleeping. Plus, I was a little sleepy too, so I just borrowed your bed to lie down for a while!" Rose said without blushing or skipping a beat.
Okay, I believe you!
Looking at Rose's appearance of not being afraid of anything, Li Qingyuan knew that he had been blackmailed by her.
He had always heard that Western women dared to love and hate, and now he had finally seen it.
He just didn't know that if he really didn't want anything pleasant to happen with Rose, then he should have kept his distance from the other party from the beginning, instead of losing his principles after being flashed by the other party's breasts and agreeing to let the other party help him.
In Li Qingyuan's view, he was going to find someone to help him anyway, and it was certainly better to have Rose do it than to have some rough guy do it. At least it was pleasing to the eye, right?
But in Rose's view, it was that this poet from the Far East was actually very interested in her, but the inherent restraint of Easterners made him unable to let go.
So, after thinking about it for several days, Rose felt that she should take the initiative directly.
After all, this ship was going to New York the day after tomorrow, and based on Carl's performance these past few days, she estimated that she would be locked in the manor and unable to come out when she got to America.
So, in order not to leave any regrets in her life, Rose decided to just make it a fait accompli.
Anyway, in her opinion, it was better to give her first time to someone pleasing to the eye than to her fiancé, whom she didn't like.
There's nothing much to say about the following plot. Although Li Qingyuan had been trying to avoid trouble, since the other party had come to his door, it would seem too fake to refuse.
(Omitted 3,000 words of description! ...…)
"Mr. Li, where's Rose? Didn't she say she was going to invite you to the dinner party?" An hour later, when Carl saw Li Qingyuan in the banquet hall, he asked in confusion.
Originally, Carl was very worried about his fiancée's behavior, but after understanding these past few days, he felt that Mr. Li was a true gentleman, and he was very relieved to have Rose by his side.
Besides, the other party had already signed a preliminary investment plan with the Hockley Group on behalf of Prince Qing, with the first investment of 150,000 pounds.
With the help of such a large sum of money, even if Carl knew that Rose would be taken advantage of a little by the other party, he felt that it was harmless.
Anyway, as long as the bottom line wasn't crossed, right?
