[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

Bai Lanzhi did not lose consciousness, but could not open her eyes.

There was a shaking around, she heard the sound of water tinkling softly, and smelled the moist and cool air.The effect of the medicine paralyzed her thinking, no matter what she thought about, she slowed down by a beat or two. It took a long time before she realized that she seemed to be in a small boat...Why is there a boat?

By the way, she was rescued, who is it...

In a daze, she seemed to hear someone shouting "The theater ghost is coming", was it an illusion produced by her brain, or did Eric really come to save her?

When the boat docked, he hugged her horizontally with both hands.Her body fell into the softness of goose feathers, she seemed to be placed on a big bed, and then, a cold and slender hand covered her forehead, testing her body temperature.

After a while, she heard the sound of a water basin falling to the ground.The man appeared to be soaking dry towels.A few seconds later, her forehead felt a comfortable coldness.

This night, the sound of water soaking and wringing out towels never stopped.She fell asleep until dawn.

When she was able to open her eyes, it seemed to be the next day.The medicinal effect of that glass of red wine was so powerful that even after a day and a night, her hands and feet were still unable to exert strength, and her head was as heavy as lead.

Bai Lanzhi rubbed her temples, squinted her eyes and looked around.She seemed to be in a grotto, but it was more ornately furnished than a luxury apartment. The mattresses, quilts and pillows were filled with goose down, and there were gold tasseled tapestries on the stone walls. On the tapestries were oval oil paintings. ...it seems to be her?

Bai Lanzhi was stunned for a moment.

She propped herself up, turned over and got out of bed, and stumbled over.It was really her.In the painting, she is wearing a fluffy silk dance dress, white stockings, pointe shoes, and light pink makeup on the corners of her eyes and cheeks. It is her first appearance in a small theater.Not only is the oil painting on the wall of her, but she is also painted on the cover of the score on the music stand of a piano in the corner.

Bai Lanzhi was confused, and hadn't realized what happened.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.She wanted to put down the music score and go back to the bed, pretending that she didn't see anything, but her body was stiff and unable to control, she could only stand there stupidly, listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

The stone door was opened, and a man wearing a black cloak walked in. The wide hood covered his face, revealing only pale lips, a sharp jaw, and a slender neck.He was wearing black leather gloves and narrow booties of the same color and material.

He sat down in front of the piano, and said without any emotion in his voice, "You're awake."

Bai Lanzhi blinked her eyes, squatted on the ground, stared at the carpet for a while, and then remembered why she was here.

...she was saved by Eric.

No, saved by a theater ghost played by Eric.

Thinking of this, her expression was a bit indescribable, Mr. OG, Eric, the ghost of the theater... What other identities did she not know about him?

"Why." He looked down at her condescendingly, "are you feeling unwell?"

Her mind was still confused, and it took her two seconds to understand what he was talking about. She was about to shake her head, but he squatted down, took off the leather gloves, and put the back of his hand on her forehead.His actions are so considerate, but his tone is cold and distant: "I don't have a fever. Don't pretend to be sick."

She still reacted for two seconds: "I didn't pretend to be sick."

He ignored her and sat back in front of the piano, concentrating on writing something on the music score.She got up slowly, and glanced at the contents of his pen from the corner of her eye like a thief, but saw that he hadn't written anything, but was just drawing black balls of lines repeatedly.

"..."

This time, she was stunned for three seconds before she realized it, and immediately let out a muffled laugh. Isn't he a scary theater ghost with bloody hands? How could he be so cute...

Eric didn't know what she was laughing at, and glanced at her coldly: "Stay away from me."

Bai Lanzhi remembered that not long ago, in front of the other three, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, with a calm but aggressive expression, he inserted his tongue into her throat; The cherry that passed... And, when she found out the OG identity, that low-pitched and painful confession.

Hmph... He obviously likes her, but he can't let her go, so why pretend.

Maybe because the person she likes is by her side, her body is no longer as stiff as before, and her chaotic mind has cleared up quite a bit. Just as Bai Lanzhi was about to have a showdown with him and tell all the words Odell had said, her heart suddenly rose. A bold and crazy idea.

He always uses various identities to tease her, and she also wants to let him taste the feeling of being fooled...

After thinking about it, she walked up to him, held one of his fingers and shook it gently, and looked at him sadly: "Do you know who I am? I seem to have lost my memory."

"..."

He was startled: "Amnesia?"

"Well," she said with a benign and harmless face, "I don't remember anything. Do you know who I am? Also, where is this place and who are you?"

He was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Lanzhi looked at his tense jaw, feeling a little uneasy: he wouldn't see through that she was faking amnesia...

The next second, he clasped her wrist, pulled her onto his lap, carefully observed her expression, repeatedly measured her temperature with the back of his hand, and even felt that the back of his hand was inaccurate, and confirmed it forehead to forehead. one time.He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a headache?"

She sat obediently on his lap and shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

"Is your heart beating fast?"

She grabbed his hand and pressed it on her heart: "I don't know if it's fast or not."

He was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and scolded her in a cold voice: "Nonsense!"

Bai Lanzhi couldn't see his face, so she didn't know what his expression was like now, but seeing his hand clenched and loosened, she could imagine his inner struggle and suffering.She suddenly lost her interest in joking, and was about to tell him that she didn't have amnesia, but he pinched and lifted her chin forcefully.Under the wide hood, his eye sockets were abnormally red, his pupils were golden and bright like a beast, and his expression looked extremely weird.

It's over, the joke is overdone.Bai Lanzhi swallowed her saliva, and quickly thought about how to tell him the truth so as not to make him angry, then saw him return to his normal expression, and said in a flat tone: "You are not allowed to do that to other people. "

Bai Lanzhi struggled for two seconds between "showdown" and "continue to perform amnesia": "...then are you someone else?"

"Not counting." He lifted his hood, revealing Eric's face, with a light and dangerous smile on his lips, "I am your husband."

The author has something to say: Bai Lanzhi: ... Is there such a good thing as pretending to be amnesia?
