Chapter 72

Although cleaning took a lot of time, the servants still brought over the spare bedding, and it was quickly ready.

Then, everyone went to the large bathhouse—not the one on the third floor.

Soaking together in the bath, there was nothing more comfortable than this.

"Let's go swimming!" Lily suggested.

Then, a few of them, laughing and talking, went to the indoor swimming pool. There was a back door from the large bathhouse that led to the pool, a private place where only the servants could enter for cleaning.

It was already evening, and the indoor lighting was good.

"Has no one prepared swimsuits?"

Would they just go in naked?

Everyone looked at each other.

"Should we go get them?" Jenny asked.

"Right, Kate's swimsuit seems to have been brought down as well."

"Absolutely not!"

Catherine shook her head.

Everyone was disappointed.

"But, Kate, don't you want to try? Are you really satisfied just with your fingers? Or do you have a man outside?"

Ada's eyes were somewhat resentful, but Catherine could tell that she was trying to make her give in.

At this moment, Catherine suddenly had an idea.

"If you all wear them, I'll wear one too!"

"Fine, we'll wear them!" Lisa suddenly shouted.

They seemed determined not to give up if Catherine didn't wear one.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Lisa was a bit embarrassed: "Although you were trying to tease Kate, I actually prepared a set for each of you..."

"Maybe we should try?"

Catherine thought Ada had said this, but it turned out to be Lily.

"Kate, as long as you bring them, we'll wear them!"

Then, they returned to the pool and took out the swimsuits from their clothes.

It was a pure black swimsuit, tightly fitting on Catherine's body, with beautiful patterns.

The cups were straight, seemingly made of latex, tightly adhering to her body, and after putting it on, nothing could be seen from the outside.

"Just in the room, go get them quickly."

"Okay."

Catherine then walked down the corridor, where the servants were busy cleaning the bedding stained with cream.

Looking at them, although they were all women, Catherine felt a bit timid.

Her legs also started to feel weak.

She gritted her teeth and rushed forward.

Fortunately, she had some water droplets on her body before coming, so although there was some water between her legs, it didn't look abnormal.

"God, what am I doing?"

Catherine opened the locked cabinet and took out the swimsuits, being very careful to avoid the servants.

Then, she finally returned to the pool.

"Really?!"

Lily, who had first suggested it, was now surprised.

"Alright, everyone put them on... remember to use lubricant~"

This time, it was Catherine's turn to tease them.

She carefully put her legs into the pool, being careful not to reveal anything.

For a moment, the air seemed to become intimate.

Everyone blushed, even innocent Jenny, who was forced to put one on.

"But... can we swim like this?"

"Who knows?"

From the outside, nothing could be seen, but these girls were actually very excited.

"What did you do with that membrane?"

Lily suddenly asked this question.

"By myself." Ada's answer.

"Never had one." Lisa.

"Too much force when using my hands..." Jenny's answer shocked them.

"During dance practice, what about you, Lily?" Catherine.

Lily pointed at Ada.

"You know, that night. God, it was crazy, but this thing is really comfortable..."

Saying this, Lily swam a lap and then struggled to climb out.

"In the water, it's really..."

Her face turned red, and she seemed unable to stand.

It was an intimate day, a day for the girls.

Then, time gradually passed...

...

Martin Luther King Jr. slowly walked towards the Lincoln Memorial.

Below him were countless African Americans, as well as some white sympathizers and anti-racists.

He looked down, but no one knew what he was thinking.

This was the movement initiated by King.

"March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom!"

"March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom!!"

The African Americans shouted.

"Today, I am happy to join with you in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation."

King said.

Then, a famous speech that would be recorded in history began.

"100 years ago, a great American signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and today we gather at his statue. This solemn declaration, like a beacon of light, brought hope to millions of black slaves suffering under the cruel fires of injustice. Its arrival was like a joyful dawn, ending the long night of bondage for black people..."

"I have a dream..." Catherine murmured, watching the TV.

The small butterfly did not affect history.

Today was August 23rd.

It was also a day destined to be one of the most important in American history.

Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr.'s efforts, the Civil Rights Act of the following year was passed.

Turning off the TV, Catherine took a deep breath.

Since high school, Catherine had applied for homeschooling and decided not to go to college.

In the United States, especially in high school, attending or not attending didn't matter much. In fact, some people studied at home, and not attending high school made it a bit harder to apply to college (high SAT scores and rich extracurricular activities were needed). Studying at home gave more freedom in time and subjects, but it was more expensive—money was not a problem for her.

Catherine thought that as long as she passed the SAT, college didn't matter much.

Moreover, the studies at elite American high schools were not much easier than those of 21st-century Chinese high school students. Lisa and the others didn't focus much on their studies, making it difficult for them to get into college. However, Jenny's grades were good.

Catherine was now thinking about the "Harry Potter" series, which she had completely altered.

"Harry Potter" was great, especially after the release of "Goblet of Fire."

To cater to American tastes, Catherine had made many changes, such as breaking up Hermione and Ron.

But what she was now considering was not the novel but the movie.

If "Harry Potter" were made into a movie... it would be great.

Catherine had been thinking about this for a while.

Especially when she found that the adaptation of "Crisis Island" had hit a bottleneck—trying to fit the current American aesthetic was sometimes very challenging.

But she still had no idea.

Soon, Catherine had an idea.

She made a call to Mexico.

Eastwood was working hard to prove himself.

...

"I Have a Dream" was truly classic, always inspiring no matter when you heard it. Although she had some opinions about Uncle Black, Martin Luther King Jr. was undoubtedly a great man.

Additionally, she had conducted a rather silly survey about chastity belts...
