[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

After the song was over, Odell stood up, with a confident smile on her face, and raised her hands high to welcome the thunderous applause.With the assistance of the system, she did not play a single note wrong, and the rhythm, weight, and emotion were all perfect.Not surprisingly, she will return as a performer soon.

She was about to open the violin case and continue to play the violin, when the thunderous applause was interrupted for two seconds, which was especially obvious in the theater hall that was still full of people just a moment ago.Odell's smile froze for a moment, even if she didn't look up, she knew who was coming.

Sure enough, when she raised her eyes, she saw Bai Lanzhi's figure.

In the next second, she almost couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart, and crushed the rosin in her hands.

How could this be... She has used the system to upgrade her appearance, why is there still such a big gap between her and Bai Lanzhi?If it was just the difference between Rose and Qiangwei, she wouldn't be so unwilling and angry. The point is that the gap between them is too obvious, even she herself can't deceive herself into thinking that her appearance is on the same level as Bai Lanzhi.

As for Bai Lanzhi, as if she wanted to compete with her, she dressed extravagantly. She, who never wears makeup, actually put on light eye shadow and lipstick.Her complexion was already extremely gorgeous, and she could catch everyone's attention without makeup, not to mention her carefully groomed appearance, many people stared at her intently, with obsessive expressions in their eyes.

To Audrey's comfort, Miss Kidd was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly.She stared wide-eyed and looked up and down at Bai Lanzhi almost dumbfounded. Obviously, she didn't expect that she was really more beautiful than the rumors.Seeing Miss Kidd's expression of surprise, jealousy, and even a little shame, and thinking that she was not the only one suffering from jealousy, Odell's boiling emotions suddenly calmed down.

She continued to play the violin as originally planned.But obviously, the audience's mind is no longer on her.When she straightened her back and pulled the bow, the audience in the back row whispered to Blanchi's back; Talking to her, the light and elegant sound of the piano, as if flying from Blanche's skirt, became her foil; when she plucked the strings of the harp, although the audience applauded her performance , but most people's eyes were still glued to Bai Lanzhi.

Blanche, Blanche, Blanche!

She definitely dressed up so ostentatiously on purpose!

Odell's chest heaved with anger, her eyes were dark.In the last salon, although she deliberately dressed herself up, she was not as exaggerated as today--today, she looked like she was going to embarrass her, and she dressed herself like a walking jewelry box.

What made Odell even more angry was that ordinary people would look vulgar if they dressed like this, but Bai Lanzhi piled up these luxurious and shining jewels on her body, but it would only give people the feeling that these jewels barely set off her complexion.

Odell had an ugly expression and couldn't continue playing at all. Compared with Bai Lanzhi, she was like a clown juggling on the street.Ending the playing with a silver bell-like clear sound, she stood up and announced the start of the dinner.

After the words fell, some people seemed to be waiting for her words, and flocked towards Bai Lanzhi's seat.

Odell's expression kept changing, she looked down at Bai Lanzhi, and sneered, just to make you proud for a while...Suddenly, she took two steps forward, her eyes widened in disbelief, why...why Clayton The Duke also walked towards Blanche!

She finally panicked, winked at Miss Kidd, and clenched her hands tightly.Duke Clayton is her last and greatest reliance, and she cannot lose him!

-

For some reason, Duke Clayton looked at Odile on the stage, feeling a little dull.The seat was soft red velvet, but Duke Clayton felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He wondered if Blanche had seen him.

He purposely chose a position very close to her, as long as she turned her head, she could see his stern and majestic face, but until the end of the recital, she didn't seem to notice his existence, because she didn't see him, Still don't want to see him?

These two questions scratched at the tip of his heart like a kitten's pads.He grabbed his straight trousers and wanted to get up to look for Bai Lanzhi, but he couldn't hold back his face. Seeing that Bai Lanzhi was about to follow the crowd and walk towards the rest hall, he finally couldn't hold back, walked to her side, and called out in a low voice Her name: "Blaneige."

Bai Lanzhi stopped, turned her head in astonishment, "Your Highness the Duke." The astonishment in her eyes did not seem to be fake, she only saw him for real.

She was originally a pet girl born for him, but she didn't know when she no longer had him in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Duke Clayton's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable like a ball of wet cotton.

"This is your first time at the opera house, and you are not familiar with the way, so I will take you there." He said, reaching out to grab her wrist.

Bai Lanzhi evaded his movements indiscriminately: "My honor, Your Highness."

Duke Clayton caught a blank.It stands to reason that after she was kicked out of the manor by him, it should be regarded as a gift for him to take her hand, but he clearly felt her rejection.A woman who was destined to be his mistress since childhood had actually alienated and rejected him. While Duke Clayton was angry, he was also somewhat uncontrollably excited.

He was about to reach out and grab Bai Lanzhi's wrist again, trying to make her remember who he belonged to, but at this moment, a hand with strong knuckles came in and blocked his way.Duke Clayton tensed his jaw and raised his head, and met a pair of golden eyes that were indifferent to wild.

The person in front of him looked very ordinary, but his nose bridge was exceptionally high, and his outline was deep. He was wearing a black coat that reached to his knees, with a white fur collar, gracefully clustered around his sharp neck.He held Bai Lanzhi into his arms, stroking her hair like a small animal, his movements were a hundred times more intimate, intimate, and ambiguous than Duke Clayton, but Bai Lanzhi did not resist, and obediently leaned against her. On his body, the expression is even a little cute.

Duke Clayton twirled the ring on his thumb and sneered angrily: "Who is this?"

"Eric." He nodded politely to Duke Clayton, his arms still firmly wrapped around Bai Lanzhi's waist.

Bai Lanzhi's cheeks were slightly hot, and she tugged on his collar, trying to relax the strength of his arm, but he hugged him even tighter.Her face was almost pressed against his chest, and she couldn't help snorting angrily.

In the eyes of Duke Clayton, this small gesture was undoubtedly flirting.He stared at Eric's arm, and exhaled two cold airs from his nose: "It's not for you to talk here, I'm asking her."

"I'm her fiancé, I don't know if His Royal Highness is satisfied with this answer." Eric said with a chuckle as if he didn't understand the warning in the words.

Bai Lanzhi opened her eyes wide, and before she opened her mouth to make a sound, Odell, who hurried over, asked in shock, "What did you just say?"
