[The Phantom of the Opera] Boundary Bridge

"May I know, what is your relationship with Eric?"

There was pure curiosity in Christine's eyes, as well as a cautious but not annoying temptation.Facing such a girl, people can't be hard-hearted no matter what—but Enid suddenly felt a needle-like pain in her heart.

She clutched her chest, looking pale.His expression seemed to be stunned and surprised, and also seemed to suddenly realize, but there was some kind of pain in it.

"What's wrong with you?" Christine was taken aback, she stood up suddenly, and was about to go to support Enid.But the blond girl quickly stopped her with a gentle gesture. Enid clutched her heart and slowly straightened her waist.Her face was shrouded in a light like the early sun, like a new life connected to the darkness, she said: "It's okay, the old problem is gone."

Her expression was somewhat complicated, and her lowered eyes showed hesitation and pain.But Christine didn't notice, she just asked a few words about her condition with concern, then clasped her hands together, looking at Enid nervously and uneasily.The blond girl realized that she was still waiting for the answer to the previous question, and her blue eyes were a little lost.

"We're friends and confidants," Enid said, feeling the pain in her heart spread like a stone thrown into a lake.

Christine seemed to want to say something, but suddenly there was a knock on the door of the villa.Enid nodded apologetically, stood up, and saw that the servant had gone to open the door.

Christine also stood up.The wooden door was opened, revealing a face they were all familiar with.

"Raul!" Christine exclaimed.

The young man with blond hair was obviously chasing after him in a hurry—this could be seen from his messy half-length hair and wrinkled breeches.He was burning with anxiety, and with a certain fear of losing, the moment the door was pushed open, he shouted impatiently and panicked: "Christine!"

Then he saw his lover who was safe and sound, and saw her surprise and discomfort about his arrival, Viscount Shani's heart sank slightly.But he also saw Enid in the white skirt behind Kristen's long brown hair and realized his faux pas.Raoul Shaney bowed and said, "Good day, Miss Enid—it is really inappropriate to take the liberty of visiting."

He and Enid both have blond hair and blue eyes, and today they both chose white attire, but they didn't look alike.Shani's hair color is thicker and heavier, and his eyes are not as clear as Enid's, but extremely clear and energetic, like a sharp sword when he shoots straight.The white riding suit matched his noble temperament, looking bright and sharp.But Enid in a white dress has a gentle temperament of "being in harmony with the light"-she is rarely wearing a gray robe today because she is not going to go out.Shani lowered her head slightly to say hello, but she felt exactly the same surprise as Christine did a moment ago: Enid, why did you live with Eric?

"I think you should apologize to someone else."

An arrogant, indifferent male voice sounded from the stairs with the sound of footsteps, pulling away all attention in an instant.The Viscount was in a trance, as if he had returned to the door of the dressing room. He vaguely heard the scolding "Stupid boy! Young and brave suitor!" - these memories were originally extremely tiny fragments, but at this moment they met Seeing danger, his general instincts were scooped up and gathered, and Raul became even more uneasy.At the same time, he strengthened his determination to take Christine away.

But Eric's voice changed again the next moment, he became soft and mellow, even slightly nervous:

"Miss Kristin Daye—I hope I haven't neglected you too much."

"Actually, I was too early," replied Christine, who had similar nervousness to Eric, standing up and smiling.This tension was not relieved after she "confirmed" from Enid that Eric was not a phantom, but deepened day by day.She cast a look of begging to her lover, hoping that he would not disrupt the stage, and she said: "If you don't mind, I'm here for your peerless and glorious "Daughter of the Sea". My heart has been calling for this for too long. "

"Kristen..." Raul softly called his lover's name with some disapproval, but he didn't interrupt—he hurried over, fearing that his lover would fall into the hands of the devil disguised as a composer again.Now that Christine is fine, it is not easy for him to forcefully convict Eric based on his intuition.

"Kristen..." Eric's call was full of admiration and almost grateful joy, his voice was so beautiful that it was almost like a cello - how could such a person not be able to sing?How cruel God must be!How cruel is the person who deprives this singing voice!Christine couldn't help thinking.God treats everything, created everything and took everything back, without mercy or mercy!But Eric had gone on.

"I just revised a small passage of "The Daughter of the Sea" today." Eric said, his expression was eager and a little hasty, "If you don't mind, can I ask you to audition for a passage? It just so happens that Enid is here today , I need to see your chorus—”

"Enid?" Christine's eyes were wide open, and she turned her head to look at Enid's calm, slightly pale face, with a look of confusion and surprise, "Is Enid singing too? I don't know." She's also a singer."

But she figured it out very quickly. It is only natural for a composer like Eric to have close friends who are singers. This can also explain why Enid and Eric live together. Just to revise the feedback script in time!Thinking of Enid's elegant, melancholy, and poetry-reading temperament, Christine couldn't help but believe that she was also very good at singing, although there seemed to be no connection between them-a clear and full soul always has There's more than enough to show through the vocals.

"Yes." Eric replied calmly, his two fingers twisted together, showing some restlessness and anxiety.Before that, and even at this moment, he never wavered from the idea of ​​making Enid the role of Ariel the Little Mermaid, but to the beloved and admired Christine, he suddenly couldn't say, "I invited Enid Miss De plays the heroine Ariel—Christine, and I think the role of Princess Sterle is more suitable for you."

There was a sense of sudden humiliation in Kristen's astonishment—she wasn't a pompous girl, but since she was famous in "Hannibal," no one had tried to assign her a supporting role. up.Even if there was, it had been thoroughly cleaned up by the Phantom of the Opera before it disappeared.Thinking of this, she felt a little delicate.Eric is so similar to the Phantom, but both the Phantom and the Angel hold her in the palm of their hands despite the different means.Eric, however...

But she finally agreed to give it a try, and Christine had an inexplicable desire to win.She wants to use her singing to justify herself and win over this man who looks like a mentor—it’s not clear whether it’s the resemblance between Eric and the Phantom, or the unknown relationship between Eric and Enid that stimulates her, or maybe both. There are.Christine Daye, who has been shining in the Paris opera world since the phantom disappeared, but is single, can't help showing her best form when facing Enid.

Her lover Raul doesn't stop her, although Raul also frowns on Eric's choice.His thoughts are clearly written in his eyes: why do you bother with a person who despises you?But Christine wanted to sing in front of Eric so, so much, the desire intensified and almost overwhelmed the other emotions themselves—

Angels of music sing for you.

"As the day comes, like a rose blooms in my heart," sings Kristen, who immerses herself in the role of Sterler, even though she's been studying Ariel.The softness and sweetness of her own temperament are perfectly combined with Stelle, and there is a moving and infatuating singing voice. "Your eyes are on me, like the will of the gods. I am grateful, very, impulsive, and eager."

"On the day I first met you, the rose of love bloomed quietly." Christine closed her eyes slightly, as if sniffing the fragrance of roses, reveling in the sweet and moving love, she lowered her head, cupped her hands in her heart, Like treating a cherished love. "I can't pick it up. In my memory, it's the pouring sunlight that comes with love..."

"I will never curse the day when I put my blood on the thorn of the rose," sings Enid, her eyelashes quivering slightly, melancholy and sad.She hugged her arms with both hands, with a moving smile on her lips, but her eyes were lost and empty, "I keep my love for you in my heart, just like keeping blood in blood vessels."

"Burning the flame with the soul, maybe there is no lie." Enid's expression looked a little fragile, but she was still so innocent, "It falls like dusk, like roses withering in the grave. But you are my rose and Love, I am your prisoner."

"Where the rose grows is love and death," they sing together, Christine's sweetness mingled with Enid's pathos with heartbreaking magic, "Don't wait for the moonlight."

"Poison is flowing in my blood, and I stand on tiptoe on the tip of the knife. My love is like a boundless ocean, until you die at the bottom of the sea, or meet a kind fisher girl."

"She saves your love and soul, while I wait to dry up in silence."
