[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

Hannibal was invited to a charity dinner, where he was undoubtedly very popular, surrounded by a group of celebrities, talking and laughing, and they expressed their expectation for Hannibal to hold a party from time to time.

Hannibal responded decently and gracefully, and inadvertently his eyes fell on a pair of men and women who had just entered the arena. A lady standing beside him obviously noticed it too, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Hill finally I am willing to let the heir of their family show up."

When she said this, the eyes of the rest of the people turned away either implicitly or directly.The men's eyes flashed with astonishment, and the women's expressions were more complicated. Hannibal had a panoramic view of their expressions, and his hand holding the champagne tightened, but he relaxed quickly, and he said, " Excuse me," and walked over there at a leisurely pace.

Albert Hill obviously also noticed Hannibal who was walking towards them. He turned his head to look at his niece, his heir, and could not see any clues from her face.He moved his lower lip and said, "Perhaps I should say thank you to my old friend."

Amanda parted her well-drawn red lips, "Maybe." She understood what Albert Hill, her uncle, Hannibal Lecter meant when she fell hard into the mud, but when she crawled out of the mud After coming out, the new Amanda Hill was achieved, which is who she is today.So, thanks to Hannibal Lecter, why not?Even though she still hated him, hated him to the bone.

While they were talking, Hannibal had already arrived in front of them. He first greeted Albert Hill, an old friend, and then turned to look at Amanda, who was still polite and kind. He gave a face-to-face gift, and he was not stingy with his compliments: "Honey, you are amazingly beautiful today."

Amanda wore a champagne-colored long dress, and the tailored cut set off her snowy skin, showing her exquisite figure perfectly. With the shining light golden long curly hair and carefully painted red lips, it was amazing.What's more, she is not a beautiful blonde, sitting behind the huge family property of the Hill family, and what is even more enviable is that she is the sole heir to the huge family property.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they parted ways.Albert Hill took Amanda to get to know the upper-class celebrities at the banquet. The heiress of the Hill family has always been low-key, and there is not much information spread out. Although it is not a big introduction now, everyone understands the meaning .No matter what was in his mind, but no one was on the surface losing face as the heir of the Hill family, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

From time to time, Hannibal's peripheral vision would fall on Amanda, who was chatting and laughing with other people. It was only two months since Amanda moved back from his house.During the two months that he hadn't been closely involved, she quickly took root, absorbed nutrients from the soil, and once again bloomed with a compelling fragrance.It was unbelievable, and it made Hannibal regret that he would have had the chance to witness it.

Of course, there are only so many regrets.Dr. Lecter has been so busy the past two months that he now has an even more wonderful research subject--Will Graham, who is personally involved in Will's life and work.And the entry point for more in-depth participation is Abigail who caused Amanda's "jealousy"-her father was shot and killed by Will, which undoubtedly caused Will's guilt towards Abigail, and Will himself is even more unstable mentally.

That is to say, but when they gathered alone in a quiet corner at the banquet and Amanda showed her true side, Hannibal also had a real smile in his eyes, thinking that she was extraordinarily cute .

"Look, it's not that hard, is it? I mean, be one of them." Amanda has always been one of the crowd, at least she thinks so.

Hannibal looked into Amanda's eyes: "It seems that you are adapting well."

Amanda tilted her head slightly to look at him, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Maybe it's because I have a good teacher."

Hannibal realized that Amanda's good teacher was referring to him, and he had a charming smile on his face: "My pleasure." After he finished speaking, he looked at Amanda with a slightly worried expression, "Don't push yourself too hard , okay?"

Amanda froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this giving me psychological counseling?" She compromised with Hannibal's disapproving expression, and glanced at Yanxiao Yanyan's face over Hannibal's shoulder In the banquet hall, "everyone has a mask to disguise themselves, I just put on a mask that is more popular with the public. Besides," she looked at Hannibal again, and there was no more in her blue eyes. Once dazed and immature, "I don't want to stay where I am alone."

After Amanda finished speaking, she stopped looking at Hannibal. She lowered her eyes and looked at the champagne in her hand. She was silent for a moment and said, "I went for a review, and the amnesia still shows no signs of recovery. Perhaps this is God's will."

Hannibal, always sharp, said, "That's how you convince yourself?"

Amanda wrinkled her nose, she was not very ladylike, but Hannibal understood what she meant. At this time, a slow waltz dance sounded again in the banquet hall, and Hannibal quickly recognized it: "Ah Bert's favorite song, did he recommend it to you?"

Amanda nodded.

Hannibal stretched out his hand towards her and sincerely invited her: "Mayi?"

Amanda put down the champagne and put her hand in Hannibal's.Hannibal's hands are long and slender, with warm and dry palms. Amanda's memory palace still retains the feeling of these hands covering her forehead and touching her forehead with her fingertips when she had a high fever. She had a momentary flash , was captured by Hannibal, he leaned closer and whispered: "You can give yourself to me with peace of mind, and I will lead you, as always."

Amanda showed a bright smile reflexively, which was much more real than the smile she showed when talking with other people.

Their joining attracted the attention of almost everyone in the banquet hall. Hannibal is elegant, a classic gentleman rarely seen nowadays; Amanda is elegant, but has a modern blonde who is highly respected; At the same time, the sense of incompatibility that should exist is not seen, and a certain characteristic of them makes them seem to fit well.

Albert Hill ignored the flattery of others, and focused his attention on the man and woman who became the focus, more precisely, Amanda.He recalled when he returned to Baltimore, the first time he saw her, Albert Hill noticed the difference in Amanda almost immediately, and then the first sentence of his daughter-like niece let His hunch came true.

"I lost my memory without brain damage, more precisely, I lost all my memory, at least that's what my attending doctor's diagnosis report said."

Albert Hill calmed down after being stunned. He keenly noticed the loopholes in Amanda's words, "Actually?"

Amanda looked at Albert Hill. In her memory, Albert Hill played the role of father. Although it was vague, it did not hinder the meaning of "father".At this time, Amanda has begun to believe in her memory. The worlds she exists are largely projected by the reality of Amanda Hill, just like the scars on her body now. There are also tattoos done on the chest with invisible ink.

It is inexplicably ironic to think about it. She is also the projection of the most primitive Amanda Hill in the real world, but in the end it is the derived her who occupies this body.

——Amanda has not yet merged with the original Amanda Hill. She separated the two of them, but she is only Amanda Hill to the outside world.

Amanda wouldn't be completely honest with Albert Hill. She was pretty sure she wasn't delusional, but if she said it, people would just think she was.Instead of answering directly, she said: "I want to be the amnesiac version of me, a new Amanda Hill, and I want to come out and move on."

Albert Hill was shrewd, of course he could see his niece's affection for his old friend Hannibal Lecter, but it was precisely because he was shrewd that he didn't like it and didn't pay attention to it. Prevent.

On the one hand, Albert Hill was not willing to snuff out the flower of love that bloomed for the first time, even though it was one-sided; , Albert Hill protected her so well that she isolated herself from the world, which is undoubtedly not the quality that a qualified heir should have.

Today's facts prove that Albert Hill was right to stand by.Now, in front of Hannibal, Amanda has already achieved equality with him. This is completely different from when she was at a disadvantage all the time. It seems that the light accumulated over the years suddenly bloomed, bright and bright. Not to be underestimated.

If they go further, the two of them will have good results, and Albert Hill will not object either.

It's a pity that as an uncle, I still don't know enough about Amanda today. Her heart is no longer to be favored and loved by Hannibal.

Amanda immersed herself in the dance, letting Hannibal lead her steps and movements.This is a soft and graceful dance, gorgeous and elegant, full of vitality, but it may seem to lack some passion.

Amanda thinks this dance is very appropriate, gorgeous is gorgeous, but there are some hollows, in short, there is no spark between each other.

Amanda doesn't know what Hannibal is thinking, she has always been unable to see through Hannibal's heart behind his tight and seamless mask.Oh, of course, she knew very well that behind that mask was no longer a human being, but a monster, a bloodthirsty and graceful monster.

Now, this monster in human skin is working with the FBI and Will's incomparably gifted criminal analyst. What an unimaginable level of confidence and control it must have.

Amanda's eyelashes fluttered lightly, with an elegance unmatched by any butterfly's wings. She has indeed broken out of the cocoon and fluttered her wings. Hannibal couldn't be more sure, and he couldn't help but increase his strength while holding Amanda's hand , the other hand was attached to her slender waist, leading her to rotate 360 ​​degrees, and the champagne skirt rippled with layers of patterns.

It's not appropriate to describe this kind of scene simply by "seemingly compatible", but "seemingly compatible" is definitely "seemingly compatible", and they seem to be in perfect harmony.

After a dance ended, Amanda's face turned a little crimson, which made her look a little brighter and more attractive. You can tell from the men who are ready to invite her, but she politely declined. their invitation.In her opinion, it was because the dance music changed immediately, and she couldn't dance, no, it should be that she couldn't dance because of amnesia, and Hannibal also knew the reason.Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he didn't go down to the dance floor.

But in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, it is not the same thing, and there is a faint ambiguity in the eyes looking at them.Hannibal remained calm, and his eyes fell on Amanda who was on the sidelines. She seemed to be unaware of other people's ambiguous expressions, but after seeing Albert Hill's meaningful smile on the opposite side, she suddenly realized and licked her eyes. Lips, soon relaxed.

They also tacitly didn't talk about the ambiguity seen by outsiders, and separated after a brief conversation, but they made an appointment to reunite.

Amanda returned to Albert Hill, and Albert Hill looked at her lovingly, "How?"

"I thought you wouldn't want me to plunge in again." Amanda didn't know whether she should praise Albert Hill for his enlightenment or Hannibal Lecter for his charisma.

Albert Hill asked Amanda: "Would you?"

"Love is the most intelligent madness, the bitter taste that chokes the throat, and the honey that cannot be tasted." Amanda quoted Shakespeare's sentence, and Albert Hill raised his eyebrows: "How do you say it?"

"It's nothing, just another date."
