[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

As soon as Eric left, Beth couldn't wait to run into Blanche's room.She thought she would see a heartbroken and tearful Blanche, but the latter not only did not burst into tears, but also lit two candles, holding a quill and writing something intently, and the word sad Totally irrelevant.

Beth couldn't help being disappointed: "What are you doing?"

Bai Lanzhi waved her hands without looking back: "Beth, you came just in time. I have something to do these two days, so I may not be able to take those girls—the ones in the dance studio, you just watched them today, doing basic training. You Take them to practice gestures and foot positions."

Beth couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? What's the matter with you? Are you going on a date with that person just now? But you don't seem to get along very well."

Cry, cry quickly, I only stayed in the room for a short time, then turned and left, without even a moment of tenderness, the two must have quarreled.Thinking of Bai Lanzhi's bad luck, Beth felt a little happy, but soon she remembered what Bai Lanzhi said before, "Why should I gloat, your misfortune can be exchanged for my luck?" Beth suddenly felt that happiness was lost. Taste, head slumped like being swept away, and secretly hated why she wanted to add to her words.

Bai Lanzhi said: "It's because we didn't get along well, but that's what it's like to pursue someone. There will always be rejections or bumps in the road. I'll take it easy on my own."

Beth: "..."

Did she hear it right?

It turned out that that person was not the benefactor who kept Bai Lanzhi, but the one she wanted to pursue?

After seeing off Beth with a confused face, Bai Lanzhi closed the door, sat down at the desk, and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

She was frightened by Eric's gloomy and powerful aura just now, and she gradually recovered after he left.

Fugitive, torture, fraud...these words seem so vicious, but what if there is something else hidden?He said that he was dirty, despicable, and bloody, but the most outrageous thing he did was just leaning over and kissing her back, and rubbing her lower lip hard.If he was really a seasoned scumbag, shouldn't he, like Gaston, first approach her tenderly, and then lead her into the country to steal the money?If he is really a fugitive who has done all kinds of bad things, shouldn't he keep his identity secret, why should he tell her so frankly?

He described himself as terrifying, but he had never done anything horrible in front of her, how could he want her to believe it?

However, for a moment, she was indeed frightened.

When he pressed on step by step, his eyes were cold and almost fierce, like a beast forced to take off its disguise, rejecting her affection harshly and gloomyly.Her mind was blank, and she couldn't turn around at all. She could only follow his language and logic to think. It wasn't until he turned and left that she slowly regained her original thinking ability.

Eric.

She wrote his name on the parchment.

Why did he threaten her like that?

Are you testing her, or are you protecting her?

Where did he come from, what he lived on when he was a child, where he has been, what he likes and what he hates.

She was very eager to know what his past was like...

-

If you are a person, you will experience lovelorn, but life still has to go on.Apart from Eric's past, there is one more thing on Blanche's heart - the secular nunnery.

She contacted Mr. OG himself through Mr. OG's valet, and mortgaged several pieces of jewelry with him. Mr. OG is very generous, and he sold one hundred francs with a face value of one thousand.

After Bai Lanzhi got the suitcase, she felt very uncomfortable. She went to the pawn shop to inquire. Her jewelry can only be mortgaged for [-] francs at most. I also brought a few people over to support the scene. However, Mr. OG doubled her up ten times. Coupled with his strange behavior before, Bai Lanzhi couldn't help but wonder if he had any... thoughts about her?

You can't blame her for thinking so.It has only been two years since the commune happened. The world is difficult and everyone is struggling. Except for the rich who pay special attention to their reputation, ordinary rich people don’t want to raise a dime. They want them to give [-] francs to help women and children, unless the women and children are their mistresses. Female reserve.

But fortunately, the vacancy was filled, and the matter was settled. Those old, weak and widowed people finally had a warm place to live before the next heavy snowfall.

Bai Lanzhi stood outside the monastery, watching the gardener pruning the dead branches through the black fence, the maids in aprons were busy coming and going, a few little girls had just changed into brand new and neat clothes, and they were not very familiar with each other , are hiding behind the Roman column and looking at each other from a distance.

It feels good to help others.

It's just that her strength is not enough, she can only help them for a while, but cannot help them for a lifetime.Thinking of this, her raised eyebrows drooped again.

"What are you worried about?" A voice sounded behind her.

When Bai Lanzhi turned her head, she saw Mr. OG standing not far away.He was wearing a white mask, showing a sharp chin, a black cloak on his shoulders, and a mahogany cane in his hand.The moment she saw Mr. OG, Bai Lanzhi couldn't help thinking of his extremely weird and ambiguous reaction when he misunderstood the relationship between her and Gaston in the alley that day.

he won't really...

to her...

what is this?Bai Lanzhi was a little depressed, people who liked ignored you, but those who didn't like rushed to see you.Can't Eric be more proactive like Mr. OG?Before leaving in the morning, she purposely told Daroja in a clear voice in front of his face that she was going to visit the secular nunnery in the suburbs.As a result, he sat in front of the piano and copied the music score like a normal person, but Mr. OG got the news from nowhere and rushed over.

She couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

Mr. OG turned his head and repeated again: "What are you worried about?"

The anguish on Bai Lanzhi's face is not fake: "My ability is limited, so I can't help them too much. If they don't have the ability to survive, they will always be able to survive under the wings of others. I don't want them to become such people."

"I thought you were doing it for fame and fortune."

Bai Lanzhi said frankly: "I really want to be famous." As she said, she considered how to dispel this gentleman's desire for her, "I want to make more money and help more people. Of course, I am sure I have to return the money to you first, my jewelry is not worth one hundred thousand francs, I know very well. Then, I will help my 'friend' pay back the money." She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "my".

"Friend?" Mr. OG frowned slightly, "Why do you want to pay back the money for your friend?"

"He is the one I like." Bai Lanzhi blinked her eyes intentionally as she said, trying to make the affection in her eyes more lingering, so that Mr. OG could understand how deep her feelings for that person were, so that he could overcome difficulties retreat.

But he didn't know that he was a little dizzy from her eyes, and turned his head in a gaffe: "Like?"

"Yes, although he rejected me, said that his past was very unsightly, and told me that he was not worthy of liking. I don't know how others would choose. But I believe that he is not a heinous person. I want to tell him , no matter how sinister his past is, no matter what kind of person he is, I have the courage to accompany him to start again."

Mr. OG listened and said nothing.

After a while, his voice was cold and hoarse: "Miss Bai Lanzhi, I suggest you stay away from this friend of yours."

Bai Lanzhi was a little tired, she was talking so nasty, why did he still act like he didn't take her feelings seriously.She had no choice but to say more bluntly: "Sir, you are the one who saved me, and he is the one who saved me. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would still be uneasy because of the public opinion created by Audrey. I see another side of myself, and let me know that there is another possibility in life. Without him, I would not be who I am now. So, can you understand?"

The impact of these words was indeed not small. Even through a mask, it could be seen that Mr. OG was very angry, and his ears and neck were even covered with a faint blush.And he didn't notice the fact that his ears were red with anger, and he still taught Bai Lanzhi in a cold tone: "He may be a liar. Language is the cheapest thing. Don't fall into it just because of a few sweet words."

"Of course it wasn't because he comforted me that I fell in love with him. He is actually not good at expressing emotions with words, sir." Blanche continued, "He is good at using music. You can't imagine how amazing his talent is, a year ago The performances he has seen, he played without thinking. Also at the Audelle Salon, the four-note game, the piece that so many composers were helpless, he only thought for a moment before creating it."

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mr. OG, and smiled slightly: "I fell in love with him at first sight, sir."

After the words fell, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.Facing the cold and angry eyes of the man, Bai Lanzhi realized belatedly that she seemed to have said it... Just as she was about to break free and run away, she was pulled by him forcefully and fell backward involuntarily. fell into his arms.

In an instant, the distance between them was shortened.

We can smell each other's breath.

His eyes were terribly gloomy, suppressing the frightening anger, as if he wanted to swallow her alive, he slowly bent down.Just when she thought he was going to kiss her lips and was about to turn her head in resistance, he closed his eyes and placed his kiss on her forehead. Then, he pushed her away and left with a tense face.

He has great strength...

Bai Lanzhi rubbed his wrist that was bruised and purple by him, she was a little puzzled, but at the same time she was a little thankful, fortunately she found out in time and killed his strange feelings in the cradle, now Mr. OG should have no idea about her Bar.

This man is real, it's not enough for a girl in a mansion to like him, why come to her to join in the fun.
