[Zhongyingmei] Candy for you, life to me

The next afternoon.

Angie disappeared all afternoon again. She was never absent from dance practice in the morning, but when the rehearsal was over, she disappeared like no one could be found—it was just a matter of talking to the person in charge. Turning around, An Qi, who was still changing shoes, disappeared in the dance studio.

They agreed that they would go shopping for new clothes together in the afternoon.When Sorelli proposed, she was afraid that An Qi would decline. After all, she had never dated her peers in the theater before, but she never thought that An Qi would agree.

But now no one knows where she is.

Sorelli had to go to Angie's dressing room to try her luck.

She walked to An Qi's dressing room, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly she heard a faint... singing sound coming from the door.

singing?

It is the second act of "The Jewish Woman", a libretto by the character Rachel.The soprano was elegant and clear, and Sorelli was stunned. Even though the sound was not clear through the door panel, she could tell how beautiful the sound was.

Angie is singing?Impossible, she obviously can't speak.

Although Sorelli heard from the young actors that Angie occasionally hummed a song when she was alone, Sorelli never ran into it.No one knows why she stopped speaking. It is said that her vocal cords are intact and there is no problem with her vocal organs.

The singing was so beautiful that for a moment Soleli was even reluctant to knock on the door, for fear of interrupting the singers in the room.

But... is this really Angie singing?

Curious and frightened, Sorelli approached the door cautiously, trying to hear the singing more clearly, but unexpectedly, after the song ended, a second person's voice sounded in the room.

"It doesn't work at all!"

is a man!

Sorelli had to cover her mouth to restrain the exclamation that almost blurted out.It was indeed a man's voice, and his tone was extremely firm, as if he was categorically rejecting something.A moment after the sentence landed, he said as if he was offended: "I will never allow you to take this risk. No, even so..."

The next words stopped abruptly.

A strange silence spread, and the singing and the man's voice were all gone.Sorelli suddenly shuddered, did the people in the room find her?who is singingAngie, then who is she talking to?

Sorelli subconsciously took half a step back, she was just about to turn around and leave——

—a sudden hand patted her shoulder.

"My God!"

She was literally startled and screamed.Turning around, she found that it was Angel she was looking for.

An Qi's eyes widened, and she was surprised to see such a big reaction from Sorelli.She tilted her head, as if asking: What's wrong?

"Where have you been?" Sorelli asked while stroking her chest steadily in shock.

An Qi raised her hand, and she was holding a pair of brand new dancing shoes.Then she used the remaining hand to "speak" with difficulty: [My dancing shoes are broken, I went to buy a new pair. ]

That's it, wait...

Sorelli shivered, so who was singing and talking in her room?Sorelli, who was originally timid, immediately thought of something terrible.She grabbed Angie: "You, someone in your room is singing! Also, someone is talking, God! You just came back, who is that?"

Angie blinked inexplicably.

A look of curiosity flashed in her green eyes, An Qi looked at Sorelli, and seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, she passed Sorelli and pushed open the door of the dressing room.

There is nothing inside.

[Did you hear me wrong? ]

An Qi put down the shoes in her hand, dumbfounded, and said in sign language.

[Christina's room is next door, and she's probably working overtime with some actor. ]

But the voice clearly came from her room.Sorelli looked around the dressing room suspiciously, but there was indeed no one there.

[We're not talking about going to a dress shop. ] Angie saw that Sorelli still looked frightened, so she kindly changed the subject, [When are you leaving? ]

By the way, she came here to ask An Qi to go shopping together.

Sorelli's attention was immediately diverted, and she finally remembered the purpose of coming: "The carriages are waiting for us outside! Before going to the clothes shop, let's go to Saint-André Art Avenue, Mr. Pelissier A new perfume has been developed, and many ladies have used it."

Angie naturally had no objection.The two young girls tidied up and left the Opera House impatiently.On weekdays, she would chatter with her girlfriend when she went out, and An Qi was not used to not talking to Soleli.

But she's not as difficult as you think.Sorelli really couldn't help wondering why they didn't dare to get in touch with An Qi all these years, she was obviously a very gentle and easy-going person.

"Is there really no one in your dressing room just now?"

The two soon came to Mr. Pelissier's perfume shop.His "Eros and Psyche" became popular in the upper class as soon as it was released.Even though it was afternoon, his store was still full of people.Fortunately, the two dancers were famous enough to attract M. Pelissier's attention among the beautiful ladies and young ladies.

[You obviously saw it with your own eyes. ]

Sorelli still didn't quite believe it.Even though An Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, her attention was attracted after she entered the perfume shop, and she touched the bottles and cans on the counter from time to time, but when the clerk wanted to communicate with her, she was shy because she couldn't speak. dodge.

[Should have called Christina over. ] Angie seemed to be in a perfume shop for the first time, looking at the exquisite bottle handed over by the clerk, while communicating with Sorelli in sign language, [She is so tired from practicing, I can hear the fragrance in the dressing room next door every day when I return from dancing practice. There is singing. ]

"By the way." Sorelli remembered, "An Qi, I remember you also learned vocal music at the beginning."

An Qi's expression suddenly became very sad.

Oops.Sorelli's heart sank, and she immediately became annoyed at the words she said without thinking.Of course she switched to ballet because she couldn't speak.Fortunately, when she was young, she had amazing talent, and now she has become a famous dancer.

But obviously, it wasn't a good experience.

[……Yes. ] Fortunately, An Qi doesn't seem to blame Sorelli, [I...]

Before she finished expressing in sign language, she caught a glimpse of Mr. Pelissier, the shopkeeper, who was walking towards the two of them.Angie stopped immediately, and Mr. Pelissier bowed gracefully: "The two most famous dance stars of the Paris Opera House! The small shop next to me is really full of splendor."

"It's our honor." Sorelli said politely, "Anqi and I wanted to try 'Eros and Psyche'."

"Of course." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Then Miss Angie—"

All Paris knew that the most famous dancer at the Paris Opera was dumb.So when their eyes met, Mr. Pelissier hesitated for a moment, and Sorelli immediately reminded: "Anqi can hear her!"

"Of course, of course." Mr. Pelissier continued, "otherwise, how could Miss Angie present such a perfect dance for the people of Paris!"

Angie pursed her lips and smiled.

"Okay, don't hesitate to show us 'Cross and Psyche'." Sorelli said.

Monsieur Pelissier bowed happily, and then told the clerk to bring out a green bottle.Seriously brought it in front of the two girls: "I think you will like it—by the way, Miss Angie, can I ask what kind of perfume you use?"

Angie shook her head blankly.The owner of the shop naturally didn't understand sign language, so she said to Sorelli, expressing instead of her: "An Qi said that she rarely uses perfume, and she didn't use it today...isn't it? You don't use perfume?"

Sorelli was a little surprised, but An Qi didn't smell of sweat, nor did she smell of perfume.but……

"No perfume?"

Mr. Pelissier was also very surprised, but he quickly reacted, and said thoughtfully: "It's more like the smell of caramel and powdered sugar, I thought some colleague developed a new recipe. "

The taste of powdered sugar?

Sorelli couldn't smell it.An Qi tilted her head, and asked her to convey it on her behalf: "I usually like to eat desserts, maybe the powdered sugar got on my clothes. Can I try 'Eros and Psyche'?"

"That's natural."

The owner took the initiative to drop perfume on An Qi's wrist, she sniffed it lightly, and then nodded.

[Professor Moriarty also said I smell of powdered sugar.But I can't smell it myself. ] While talking, An Qi handed her wrist to Sorelli, [How?I feel good. ]

"It's really good!" Sorelli said with satisfaction, "About that professor... I think he likes you quite a bit."

Don't blame her for gossip.Angie is so famous, the celebrities and aristocrats in Paris who want to get acquainted with her may have to wait in a long queue.But no one has ever seen her respond to the suitors' invitations. It was the first time for the professor named James Moriarty - she ignored the Earl's rich businessman, but she got close to a foreign scholar. It's weird .

[The professor just loves my show. ]

"I heard he was English."

[It's a visiting professor who teaches mathematics, I don't know much about it. ]

"I didn't expect those scholars to fall in love with dancers at first sight."

An Li's face turned red instantly.

Well, it doesn't matter whether the mathematics professor likes her or not, but it can be seen that An Qi likes that professor very much.As if worried that Sorelli would tease her, An Qi, who was poked at the center, gently pushed away the female companion who was leaning forward, stood up, and didn't even dare to look at her: [I'll go first, I'll go to the dessert shop first Buy some sweets, and ask Monsieur Pelissier to save me a copy of Cupid and Psyche. ]

"I'll wait for you here!" Sorelli didn't stop her, and waved her hand with a smile.

Leaving the perfume shop, the flowing air blew over, and An Qi, who was dizzy from the fragrance of the shop, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that she doesn't know how to appreciate it, but that after getting used to the modern style of the 21st century, the perfume at the end of the [-]th century is really a bit outdated for Angel.Although the city of Paris is far from clean air in any era, it is better to be outside than to stay in the small room.

That shot in front of Hannibal Lecter seemed to have happened in a previous life... no, it was a matter of a previous life.

In this world, in Paris, she is Angie, a dancer at the opera house.Dr. Lecter's adopted daughter had already died in front of him, and even if she returned to Washington in the same world, it would be impossible for her to duplicate the same identity again.

Angie brushed up the red hair blown out of her forehead, and she carried her skirt, crossed the dirty street, turned a corner, and walked towards the candy store on the shady side.

Promising Sorelli to come here was not a casual promise. If given the choice, Angie would stay far away from these outdated perfume shops.

There is someone behind her who has been following her.

The author has something to say: Oh, I forgot to say, the Sherlock Holmes here is set in the original book... Well, at least I will try my best to rely on the original book, whether or not I can write it is another matter!Without referring to any version of film and television works, to be honest, in my eyes, even the JB version of the detective is not enough to restore (.

Thanks to Scorpion:D for the landmines, I feel like I feel love for every chapter, thank you girl ww!

Oh, and the setting of Phantom comes from the musical + novel, and it will not tear down Viscount and Christina. The setting of perfume is mostly based on the movie. Although I think the movie doesn’t capture the essence of the novel, but the Grenouille, I really can't move_(:з」∠)_...

In terms of timeline, "Perfume" was moved back, it was originally in the eighteenth century.
