[Zhongyingmei] Candy for you, life to me

"lets Dance!"

The left foot is on the tip of the knife, the right foot is on the muzzle of the gun, the people around are clapping their hands, and the people in the audience are stamping their feet.

"Jump, Angie!"

The spotlight came on, and Angie couldn't keep her eyes open.Her legs were hurting, her feet were hurting too, and her eyes were tearing because of the strong light, but she couldn't stop.

"Jump up, my angel!"

She has to stop, she has to stop!

"Jump, Angel!"

"Do not……"

Enduring the pain, she widened her eyes and looked at the audience——

"--Do not!"

"An Qi? Angie!"

An Qi struggled to wake up, but before she could open her eyes, she fell into a familiar embrace.She instinctively stretched out her hands, and said in despair: "Hannibal, Hannibal!"

"I'm here."

Hannibal let Angie wrap his arms around his neck, and she trembled and wept in his arms, sobbing that she could barely breathe.But Hannibal was obviously used to such scenes, he patted Angie's back repeatedly: "You're awake, Angie, you're already awake."

"I, again, dreamed—"

"It doesn't matter."

He didn't let Angie go on, and Hannibal tightened his grip on her waist.

"You are in reality now, my child, and dreams cannot harm you at all."

Angie nodded with tears in her eyes, and she lay on Hannibal's shoulder, sobbing softly.

"I just, I knew it," An Qi tried her best to restrain her crying, and said in a trembling voice, "I knew that the nightmare would come back."

"Until you untie the last messy knot, it will always exist." Hannibal reassured, "You are trying to untie the knot, which is progress, and one day the nightmare will disappear."

I hope so.

Angie took a deep breath.

She had come to her senses completely, and Hannibal's realistic body temperature and friendly taste gave An Qi the greatest support in the first place.She reluctantly let go of Hannibal and left his embrace. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears on Angie's face with his thumb.

"Cheer up, kid."

"Ah."

At least she's used to it, Angie gave Hannibal a strong smile.

Hannibal patted Angie's shoulder with satisfaction, and the worry in his eyes turned into encouragement: "Go take a bath and welcome a new day, and I'll make you a cup of hot chocolate."

"Add sugar."

Normally, out of health considerations, Hannibal would never allow Angie to consume so much sugar early in the morning, but today was an exception, he shook his head helplessly: "Sometimes I even think that there is a blood sugar flowing in your blood vessels." It's all glucose, not blood."

The smile on An Qi's face returned to its former brilliance.

The moment after waking up from the nightmare may also be the short time when Angie Lecter is the most obedient and well-behaved.

She stayed in the bathroom for a while, the hot water washed away all her fears, but it didn't make An Qi fully cheer up.

Wearing a white dressing gown, Angie sat in front of the piano, staring at the black and white keys in a daze, until Hannibal brought chocolates with extra sugar: "You don't need to practice today, Angie."

"Thank you."

An Qi gratefully accepted the cup, and the sweet and greasy drink flowed down the esophagus all the way to her stomach. The warm temperature spread, and she felt as if she had come alive.

"Hannibal..." She mulled over her words and whispered, "I don't want to go to Latvinia, I want to stay with you at home."

Yesterday, he said that the person in charge of the dance troupe had received invitations from foreign theaters, and specifically asked Angie Lecter to attend the performance.

No matter what clever plan Loki is planning, if he refuses, he refuses. An Qi doesn't like others to interfere with her arrangements.As for Hannibal, he always respected Angie's opinion, but this time he made a decision on her behalf and accepted the invitation.

Hannibal sat next to her: "You haven't had a nightmare for a long time."

"Two years."

"Two years and three months."

Apparently Hannibal remembered better than Angie.

"It doesn't just show up for no reason, Angie."

A trace of thought flashed through his dark golden pupils.

"You once said," his deep voice slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, "In the nightmare, you stood in the center of the stage and could see all the audience, and your only thought was to kill them. "

"……Yes."

"To this day, is your death list still clear?"

"I will not forget any of the above."

"Acquaintance with Thomas Northfield is the first step you take."

Angie gripped the hot cup tightly.

Her white and tender palms were hot red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but An Qi didn't notice at all, until Hannibal gently and unquestionably opened her palms, An Qi grabbed Hannibal's sleeve instead.

"Go, Angie." Hannibal said, "Since you have decided to untie the knot, do it as best you can."

Lightly, as if he was just trying to persuade her to buy a new dress.

"Even if..." An Qi hesitated for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I really killed someone, even a very important and powerful person, and you still support me?"

Hannibal gave the hand that took the mug away.

"As a psychiatrist," he finally said quietly, "I would advise you to just let it go. It's the only way to end the nightmare."

"Then, if you're not a psychiatrist, will you, will you support me and pick up the butcher's knife?"

Hannibal wasn't looking at her.Even though he faced Angie and his eyes fell on her, there was no emotion in Hannibal's deep eyes—maybe he was looking at her, but not in the surface form, but hidden under the human skin Yes, the indescribable being opened its eyes.

After a long silence, he finally put down the mug and asked without answering, "What are you worried about, Angie?"

"No, I just..."

"You have always been a girl with your own opinions, and you will never waver for things you have made up your mind to."

Angie bit her lower lip.

She didn't answer, and Hannibal didn't force her, let alone take what Angie meant.He sighed, raised his hand, and stroked the corner of her mouth with his thumb, saving the lower lip from under the white teeth.

"What are you worried about?" he asked again.

"I'm worried," Angie plucked up her courage and said loudly, "I'm worried that you don't want me, Hannibal!"

As the words fell to the ground, she wrapped her arms around Hannibal's back.

"Ever since that night at the charity show, you've been, you haven't been very happy. You're saying I'm always going to marry, I'm afraid, Hannibal."

An Qi closed her eyes slightly, her tone full of grievances.

"I'm afraid that you think it's for my own good to push me away from you. I'm afraid that one day you will say, my feelings for you are only temporary, and you should find a young and beautiful person," her voice became more and more serious. The younger, "Don't push me to Thomas, okay? I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either. Don't say that I will marry again."

She looked up at Hannibal with undisguised expectation in her gray eyes.

"As long as Hannibal doesn't tire of me, I'm willing to stay by your side forever."

The soft promise blurted out, her face was full of innocence and firmness.Hannibal looked at Angie's face calmly, his thumb resting on Angie's lower lip rubbed her delicate skin repeatedly, it was a little itchy, and the skin that touched it gradually became hotter.

"Angie."

he said in a low voice.

"Don't make promises you don't believe in yourself."

Angie's body froze.

Hannibal has never been a person who shows emotions, even at this moment, after Angie's true feelings are revealed, there are almost no traces of emotion flowing on his face.This made An Qi unable to determine whether his words came from "a good father who is humble, polite and doting on his adopted daughter", or whether it was the truth under the human skin.

But he didn't delve into it.

Soon the dignified face showed just the right instructive meaning, and something that belonged to humanity was revealed: "I won't say those words, you will eventually have your own independent thoughts, and I won't judge others by myself. But before that , An Qi, better deal with the matter in front of you."

He withdrew his hand.

"The person in charge told me that Latvinia has not been peaceful recently. Fortunately, your lover Thomas contacted a companion who can ensure the safety of you and the other girls in the dance troupe."

Angie still didn't want to go, but since Hannibal said so...she nodded reluctantly: "Okay then."

"After lunch, go and pack your bags," Hannibal urged, "I wish you a successful performance, my child."

An Qi is not worried about her personal safety, she even dared to plot the life of the President of the United States, what is there to fear in this world?Of course, she believes that Rocky will arrange everything, just arrive in Eastern Europe by plane, besides, he has also contacted the protector, hasn't he?

But when the "protector" and the head of the dance troupe rang the doorbell of Lecter's house the next day, Angie realized that she had underestimated Loki's ability to make trouble.

She opened the door, and after greeting the person in charge and seeing the person behind him, An Qi, who was always smart and polite, was shocked and speechless for the first time.

He was a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes. When he saw An Qi, he smiled warmly on his handsome face.

An Qi has seen this face countless times in various media since she was a child.

Steve Rogers, Captain America, didn't wear the tights that showed his identity, but a jacket and slacks still couldn't cover up his sharp and crisp military temperament.He stretched out his right hand to An Qi: "Miss Lecter, I have known you for a long time. Thank you for agreeing to this joint performance, which has added a lot of convenience to our actions."

Angie: "..."

What the hell is Loki doing? !

The author has something to say: Rocky: No surprises, no surprises!
