Cos Verlaine's I crossed

After celebrating the traditional festival and eating the Christmas dinner made by the three of them in turn, after the night, Arthur Rimbaud obviously paid a little attention to Paul Verlaine and Zhong Yuanzhong.

If the two brothers used to be oil bottles picked up from the garbage dump, they have evolved to this point—barely regarded as gifts for phone calls.

He gave his two younger brothers a pair of cotton long socks each.

In the past, Arthur Rimbaud's socks were given to him by his mother, and careless lovers could not notice his embarrassment, or, if they noticed, they were too embarrassed to open their mouths, for fear of stimulating Rimbaud's self-esteem.During those years of living in Paris, Rimbaud's socks often had holes, or were long and short, which made him choose to use socks as gifts.

In this world, only your loved ones care about whether your socks have holes.

After Zhongya received the gift, he forgot to return the gift, but Paul Verlaine poked Chuya's back with a finger.

"Brother, remember to prepare gifts next year."

"understood!"

Zhong Yuanzhong is also embarrassed, he can't go out to buy gifts temporarily.With experience and lessons learned, he remembered the tradition of preparing presents at Christmas, so as to ensure that he would not make mistakes again next time.

Paul Verlaine gave Arthur Rimbaud a Christmas gift——a full set of British handmade formal suits with a custom-made period of more than one month, which is enough to attend the most top-level banquets.

Arthur Rimbaud was surprised: "Take your size again?"

Paul Verlaine smiled: "No, I measured it while my brother was sleeping. If my brother continues to be obsessed with pizza and doesn't control his diet, his waistline may further distance himself from me..."

After speaking, Paul Verlaine was aggressively attacked by Arthur Rimbaud, and the two began to fight on the sofa.

"How dare you despise brother!"

"No, I just hate you for eating pizza—"

"If you hate pizza, you hate me!"

"Tsk."

When Paul Verlaine heard this logic, facing his brother's face rubbed to death, he overturned Rimbaud calmly and pressed on him.

Paul Verlaine: "Brother, don't let Chuya see the joke."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also involved, and hurriedly said: "I didn't, you hit you, I will never laugh at you!"

Arthur Rimbaud looked dangerously there.

"Chuya, come here, brother wants to make a memorial for you at Christmas."

"what--???"

After a while, Arthur Rimbaud recorded the height of the 15-year-old Chuya, and Chuya returned to his room to rest with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also murmured: "Not angry?"

Paul Verlaine touched Chuya's orange hair by the way.

"Brother, grow taller earlier."

It was an uneventful night, and when Arthur Rimbaud woke up in the morning, Paul Verlaine was already sitting by the bed, not in the habit of sleeping in late.

Against the light, Arthur Rimbaud dimly opened his eyes and saw the other party.

It's like having a twin brother.

Arthur Rimbaud thought to himself: [If my younger brother has a better temper and less desire to control, I would like to have a younger brother. 】

The favorability was rising, and Arthur Rimbaud opened his arms, forming a large font on the bed, and the quilt he had spent the night had already been kicked away.

In order to tease Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud said meanly.

"Brother, put on your brother's clothes."

"it is good."

"Wait, no—I'm kidding you!"

"It doesn't matter."

Paul Verlaine brought the clothes for going out, then untied Arthur Rimbaud's pajamas, and dutifully took care of his brother.

Arthur Rimbaud sighed, snatched his men's underwear, and hid in the bathroom to change, even a man of his age didn't want to run naked.

In the room, Paul Verlaine's eyes were full of thoughts.

The elder brother seems to accept him, but it is still difficult to make the elder brother not want to run away and stay forever.

What is your brother's weakness?

Grasping the weakness, can you keep your brother by your side?

Paul Verlaine couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. He recalled the phone conversation with his relatives and friends last night. The advice given to him by relatives and friends was to cultivate the foundation of relationship first, not to quarrel with your brother, and then to find out your brother's past experience and grasp all the information to make a plan.

In order to help Paul realize his dream, Lan Tang continued to worry about it in France. Fortunately, the two of them finally stopped chatting on the wrong frequency. After they found out each other's sincerity, their emotional communication made great progress.

"Brother, I'm going on a date! Get up while you're urging me!"

"... Another date."

Not long after, Paul Verlaine heard the sound of his brother running away, and he couldn't maintain his smiling expression.

Paul Verlaine held back in order to foster brotherhood.

Paul Verlaine got up and went to his brother's room to lift the quilt, which caused Chuya Nakahara to scream and go crazy.He walked out with a blank face, dialed the number for ordering food, and ordered breakfast for two.

He leaned against the wall and contacted Lantang again, and within 24 hours he needed another person to act as his mental trash can.

"Friends and relatives, my brother is looking for Phantom again, can I kill him?"

"Kill who? Phantom?"

"It's the opera singer who lures my brother out every day. Half of our travel time in the United States was delayed by the Phantom."

"Don't do it."

Lan Tang's voice persuaded Paul Verlaine on the phone.

"Tell me the ins and outs." Lan Tang calmed down Paul Verlaine's hostility with a soft voice. Paul Verlaine fell silent, regretting going to the opera. He took himself to the opera house with his brothers, causing Rimbaud The process of getting to know Phantom is revealed one by one.

Lan Tang asked pointedly: "Phantom has seen you once, so it's impossible that he didn't react. Your brother didn't reveal his true face?"

Lan Tang has this confidence.

Whoever has seen Paul Verlaine is impossible to forget.

In the same way, Arthur Rimbaud has the same face as Paul Verlaine, and it is impossible for the Phantom to turn a blind eye.Lan Tang thought of an anecdote. Before he returned to France, it was said that the Phantom was extremely disgusted with the French transcenders, and once placed a notice board at the entrance of the Paris Opera House.

It read: "Transcendence and dogs not allowed."

It is conceivable that Phantom has much resentment towards the French transcenders, and she did not hesitate to write it at the risk of the Paris Opera House being seized.

Paul Verlaine reflected on his brother's behavior every time he went out.

"No, my brother puts on a mask every time."

"That's very simple."

Lan Tang smiled. Out of the discomfort in his heart, he also rejected the Phantom from approaching Arthur Rimbaud just like Paul Verlaine.

It is not easy to bring people together, but it is definitely easy to break them apart.

Lan Tang said: "Paul, if necessary, you can let the phantom know your identity, the phantom hates the French transcenders very much."

"But I'm a traitor," retorted Paul Verlaine.

"Your brother is not." Lan Tang said seriously, "Don't put your personal consequences on your brother, Rimbaud is innocent, he is French, I have explained it clearly to the teacher, even if Rimbaud returns to his hometown , the Paris Commune protects every French superhuman.”

Paul Verlaine's lips moved slightly.

To achieve this, Lan Tang has to shoulder the burden of interceding for the traitor and covering up the secret of the relationship between the "Fun God" and Rimbaud.

Rimbaud's innocence is based on the acquiescence of the insider.

otherwise--

French prisons and laboratories welcome Rimbaud.

Paul Verlaine has long understood the cruelty of the power world and the political world, and he said for his brother who went out: "Well, thank you."

Lan Tang said softly: "How does the wine I give you taste like?"

Paul Verlaine said: "Zhong is also drunk."

Chuya Nakahara's drinking capacity was unexpectedly low. Paul Verlaine's expression changed from indifference to joy when he thought of his younger brother's drunkenness.

"Send me some next time and empty out your teacher's inventory."

"Mr. Baudelaire will be sad. Paul, you must always leave him some good wine. He said he wants to see you next time."

"No, let him stay away from me!"

The person Paul Verlaine hates the most is "The Faun", followed by Charles Baudelaire, and even Lan Tang, who was misunderstood at the beginning, is ranked behind!

Because Charles Baudelaire was the culprit who arranged him and Lan Tang to be partners. This person was thoughtful at work and good at brainwashing. In the early days, he was the person in charge of the online espionage work. He is also a dangerous spiritual transcendent.

After hanging up Lantang's phone, Paul Verlaine got the information from the Phantom and planned to warn the Phantom in a few days.

"Brother, let's have breakfast."

The happy family dream of Paul Verlaine has become a reality.

After not seeing the Phantom for a day, Arthur Rimbaud found that the Phantom was different, his temperament seemed to be a bit colder, and his style became tougher.

Phantom gave up her disguise and put on the long-lost silver mask.

He is dark, lonely, and thin, like a ghost in the dark, but he is not far away from humans like a ghost.Under the shadow of childhood, Phantom looks inferior and is extremely proud. He always longs for the sunshine of the outside world and the warmth of human beings, and invisibly attracts those who want to conquer him.

"Rimbaud..."

"The phantom I am dating today is very unusual!"

Arthur Rimbaud's eyes sparkled, seeing the phantom dressed in the Paris Opera House for the first time, recalling the identity of the other party.

- "The Phantom of the Opera"!

——The villain who cannot be loved in it!

He saw this musical at the Opera House on Broadway in the United States, and felt that the Phantom was a very special character at that time.

Arthur Rimbaud didn't hold back, he rushed over and hugged the cute Phantom who was shivering.Phantom had been frightened in the past few days, but now she has calmed down and embraced this man's warm embrace.

Phantom always feels hot, and a warm current flows from her heart.

"Rimbaud, I have something important to tell you."

"Is it okay to talk about it after the date?"

Phantom couldn't refuse Arthur Rimbaud's blue eyes, Phantom agreed, and suddenly noticed that the other party didn't braid his hair.

"You're wearing your hair today."

"I want Phantom to see me differently."

Arthur Rimbaud didn't braid his hair, didn't wear a black hat, and lacked the sense of delicacy when the Phantom first met each other.

Arthur Rimbaud held Phantom's hand. On the premise of not caring about their appearance, both of their hands were surprisingly good-looking. Phantom's fingers were slightly stiff, but they were tightly clasped with his fingers.

"Phantom, I want to hear you sing, maybe hum a few words by the side of the road."

"……Um."

Phantom hummed a song subconsciously, and when the song reached the end, Arthur Rimbaud had already fallen into the opponent's supernatural power.

The Phantom didn't do anything bad with the supernatural powers, walking silently.

Arthur Rimbaud said happily: "Phantom, do you feel that your life is like an opera, and I am the one who destroys the routine of the opera, doesn't care about your appearance, and saves you?"

Thinking of her life tortured by her appearance, Phantom nodded more and more guiltily.

Arthur Rimbaud asked: "Do you like my kisses?"

Phantom also nodded.

Arthur Rimbaud continues: "Do you like my holding hands?"

Phantom went to see their holding hands, fulfilled the agreement, and waited until the date was over to bring up what he wanted to talk about today, reluctant to let go.

Arthur Rimbaud was sly: "Do you like my man?"

With a sore nose, Phantom said hoarsely: "I have never seen a second person who is not afraid of me. I... like you like this."

Arthur Rimbaud went to wipe the corners of Phantom's eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

"..."

Phantom touched it reflexively, but found that he had been cheated, and did not shed tears. He would not be so vulnerable when he was outside.

Arthur Rimbaud pulled him forward, "Your heart is crying."

Phantom's heart clenched and she shouted: "Ranbo, since you know what I want to say today, why did you stop me!"

Arthur Rimbaud said: "Why should I know?"

Arthur Rimbaud suddenly turned his head to look at the person who refused to go on, his usually cloudless blue eyes were like the eve of a storm for a moment.

"Phantom!"

"Body and soul, you choose my soul."

"You will be happy if you walk with me, why don't you go?"

Blonde man confronts his date.

— why did you stop? !

Phantom closed her eyes and shook off Arthur Rimbaud's hand, refusing to be a self-deceiving mortal for the warmth in front of her eyes.

He is the phantom, the phantom who wants to return to France with dignity!

"You are mistaken, Rimbaud." Phantom admitted sadly with clear words, "I am not after other people's souls."

Arthur Rimbaud stood dumbfounded, seeing that the other party denied his judgment.

"Angel." Phantom's voice seemed to sing, "I am pursuing my angel. 'He' should be beautiful, pure, and noble, staying in the sky and enjoying the praise and blessings of human beings."

Arthur Rimbaud's heart was suddenly torn open.

The former lover gave up on him, and would rather be with Matilda who he didn't love, just because Matilda was a good wife in the eyes of the world.

Bloom like a lily.

Rich, pure, beautiful, loyal, these are all men want!

"Phantom, those are all fake!" Arthur Rimbaud roared, "No one is born with everything, those people are fine porcelain, which will be smashed to pieces under suffering and disaster!"

Phantom thought of the Transcendent, and shook her head, no, those people are not fragile, nor will they fall easily, they are beautiful and powerful.

Phantom said: "Rimbaud, you can't conquer me."

Arthur Rimbaud felt that the Phantom was unreasonable: "Why? Don't you like me? What's wrong with me?"

Phantom continued stubbornly: "Your extreme pursuit of freedom is beyond my understanding. You are a lunatic similar to me. You don't care about money and material conditions. You can sleep on the street, anywhere, but I am An opera singer who needs money."

"We're still different."

"I can't forget my original intention - I came to the United States, traveled all over the world, looking for someone to make up for my regrets."

Phantom didn't specify the specific requirements, but that person must be beautiful, talented, and someone who understands his soul.

Even if you can't find it in your life.

Even if the dream is always a dream, it is impossible to become a reality.

The Phantom is so stubborn and extreme: "I will not compromise, I will make Guy Maupassant, who rejected me, regret --!!!"

Arthur Rimbaud understood the Phantom's obsession, and said blankly: "You are looking for someone who can make Guy Maupassant jealous?"

Phantom was suddenly exposed, and turned her head hastily, "I'm sorry, Rimbaud, I didn't want to say this person's name, I hate him, I hate him for giving up on me all the time."

Arthur Rimbaud: "Phantom, can I not surpass your hate?"

Arthur Rimbaud tried to make himself laugh, and vowed: "If Maupassant saw me, he would be jealous of you too."

"I have always wanted to say something, not just breaking up, you are probably a person who is pursuing the soul, but I want to tell you—" Phantom's eyes were full of indescribable struggle and despair, and she rejected Rimbaud, he admitted own shame.

"Rimbaud, no one can see another's soul."

"I can't do it."

……

If my life is a grand opera in pursuit of music and angels.

I would rather be tragic than accept my fate.

……
