[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

Below the palm, there is a round and soft outline.

Eric turned his head sideways in embarrassment, trying to pull his hand away, but Bai Lanzhi stubbornly pressed it tighter.He didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting her, so he gave up struggling.

"...I understand what you mean, but I can't do it." After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, his pupils and cheeks were a little red, which was a sign that he was on the verge of losing control.

In an instant, my whole heart went cold.She froze, and asked bluntly: "Really? Since you can't do it, why do you want to be husband and wife with me?"

"I want to take care of you and give you the best life possible."

This sentence is even more ridiculous than the previous sentence. Bai Lanzhi blushed and threw his hand away, complaining in a nasal voice: "If the best life you talk about is to treat me as something you don't know Warm and cold items to take care of, then I would rather not!"

Speaking of this, she felt dizzy, her chest heaved violently, she turned around and wanted to leave: "Forget it, we are not a real couple anyway, since you don't want me, then I will leave tomorrow."

Halfway there, she stopped angrily, and wanted to say some harsh words, but she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, with his elbows on his knees, his palms on his forehead, and his figure was lonely.He has always had a beast-like temperament, and now he looks like a drenched, abandoned little animal.Bai Lanzhi bit her lip, and the anger surging in her chest suddenly disappeared.

Why are you angry with him...

Before we got together, didn't you know that he had this kind of personality?

His past experience has endowed him with superior wisdom than ordinary people, and also made his character more weird and sensitive than ordinary people.

Although he said that he didn't take her thoughts into consideration, in fact, she didn't take his feelings into consideration... She should be more tactful and patient when talking to him.

Thinking of this, all the anger dissipated.She sighed softly, walked back, knelt down, and looked into his eyes: "I shouldn't have said that just now. Show me your back, okay?"

After the words fell, her wrist was clasped by a man's hand.

His golden eyes were completely out of control.

The pupils constricted into a dangerous straight line.

"I won't let you go."

"I won't leave." Bai Lanzhi was used to his appearance, kissed his fingers helplessly, stood up, sat behind him, touched the buttons of his shirt from behind, and unbuttoned them one by one. down.

Unlike those thin gentlemen, his muscles are sharp and strong, and his arms are lean and powerful.Taking off a man's clothes for the first time, Bai Lanzhi tried her best to behave naturally, but her heartbeat was still in confusion.

Pulling off his shirt, his back was really covered with scars, not only the scalded flesh, but also knife wounds, whip wounds... and even the claw marks of wild beasts.The most shocking wound ran directly from the shoulder blade to the back of the neck, almost endangering the artery.

She lightly touched the claw marks of the beast, and even after so long, she could still imagine the critical situation at that time: "Why are there claw marks?"

His muscles tensed uncomfortably, and he said succinctly: "The circus has animal taming performances."

She understood immediately, put her forehead on his back, and said in a muffled voice: "You are lying, these scars don't scare me at all, they only make me feel more distressed."

Her nasal voice gradually increased: "Eric, I am not a precious item, and I don't need you to treat it carefully. I am a person, and I am not a perfect person, and I will lose my temper... Just now, I I really want to leave and make you angry, but stop and think about it, why am I angry with you? We will live together for decades, this is just a small contradiction in our lives , there is really no need to make a fuss over a molehill.”

"Everyone has a side that is ashamed to tell. Although your past has been ups and downs, it has endowed you with unparalleled brains and skills. Every time I think of you, you have been to so many places, learned so many languages, and seen so many things. This book...I actually feel that I am not good enough for you. But being together is not simply living together, nor raising each other as pets to offset the loneliness in life, but to accompany each other, move forward, and learn... "She hugged him from behind, and pressed a kiss on his veined neck, "One day, I will accompany you to the places you have been to, learn the language you have learned, and watch you The books I have read, erase all your dark, distorted, cramped memories, and replace them with memories that belong to the two of us."

Finally, she asked in a gentle voice: "Your body is not ugly and has no defects, so, will you give it to me?"

He was silent, clasped her wrist, and kissed her on his lips.

From this kiss, the two were out of control.

The atmosphere was the air after the rain, brewing with sticky, sticky humidity.

He turned around, put one knee on the edge of the bed, pushed her down on the bed, bent down, kissed her lips with hot breath, and deeply invaded her lips with his tongue.At this moment, he threw away all the shackles and worries, and became a wild wolf that smelled blood, eagerly and carelessly kissing her chin, neck, and behind her ears...

Breathing intertwined, hot and crazy.

He stared at her intently and obsessively, his golden eyes were like a mirror, reflecting her figure, pain, joy, passion, tenderness, attachment...

When they were most intimate and intimate, she grabbed his shoulder, her mind went blank, and she unconsciously called out his name.

He lowered his eyes and met her watery eyes: "I'm here."

That's how it feels.

At this time, pain and joy are secondary, and the most important thing is the spiritual enrichment and satisfaction at the moment of possessing the other party.

She finally got him.

Get your wish.

-

After it was over, she sank into the bed, closed her eyes, and lazily didn't want to move.After a while, a big hand with well-defined bones stretched out, lifted the quilt, and slowly and carefully wiped her body with a warm towel.

Maybe it was because she was too tired afterwards, or because the previous emotional ups and downs were too intense, she had a very strange dream.

In the dream, she returned to the day when she was pushed down the fountain.When she stood up dripping wet, she was just seen by Duke Clayton passing by.He was actually alone, without Odell standing beside him.

Why?Before she could figure it out, Duke Clayton had already found out the female favorite who pushed her into the water, and punished her severely, and she got a lot of compensation gifts because of a blessing in disguise.

Looking at the mountain of jewelry in front of her, Bai Lanzhi couldn't be happy.In the dream, she couldn't control her body, and could only watch her another life like a bystander.

She was a little worried, if she hadn't been kicked out of the Duke's estate, would she still have a chance to meet Eric?

the answer is negative.

As the dream time passed, she soon became the Duke's lover.The sharp, jealous, and mocking gazes all around disappeared, replaced by courteous smiles.

She became a beautiful and luxurious decoration around Duke Clayton, carefully decorated and cared for.

On this day, she was brought to the Paris Opera House by Duke Clayton, and they came to see the premiere of "The Prince Behind the Ears".

As the only lover around the Duke of Clayton, she symbolizes the wealth and power of the Duke, so she is dressed in an extraordinarily dignified manner, with thick makeup on her face, bright red lips, and three layers around her neck. Diamond necklace, hair, gloves, and skirts are all dotted with star-like broken diamonds.Everyone was looking at her with amazed expressions, but their eyes didn't look like they were looking at a person, but a pearly display stand.

The theater manager ushered them into Box No. [-] with a big smile on his face.At this time, she became a bystander who could walk around again.Box No. [-]?She seems to have heard rumors about this box, what are they talking about?

The red curtain opened and the show began.

The Deaf Prince is an operetta about a prince who is old, ugly, short, and deaf.His wife is tall and beautiful, and she looks down on him very much.As soon as the prince announced that he was going to England, his wife openly had an affair with the handsome dumb servant.

The music started, and the melody of the violin and bassoon ensemble was witty and exaggerated.The heroine is played by the popular actress Carlotta. She is holding a feather folding fan, wearing a bright pink skirt, a towering wig, full of gems and bows.

"The old fool is going to England!"

Her vocal range is extremely wide, and her coloratura is soaring and melodious, almost comparable to the sound of a flute.

Bai Lanzhi listened absent-mindedly, and was still trying to recall the rumors about the fifth box.Suddenly, she saw a dark shadow walking towards the backstage of the theater.But in the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared. Is it an illusion?

At this time, the opera on stage has reached its climax.Carlotta tore off the disguise of the dumb servant, opened the folding fan, and kissed him in public. While kissing, she laughed loudly at her husband, and her laughter was as short as sixteenth notes.

In the next second, an indifferent, solemn, and pleasant voice sounded:

"Didn't I tell you that Box No. [-] needs to be emptied? And, let Christina be the protagonist."

The auditorium was in an uproar. No one knew where the voice came from, but it echoed in their ears as if it was everywhere.Someone screamed in fear, and the stage fell into chaos.

"It's him……"

"Here he comes, theater ghost!"

Almost at the same moment, Blanche recognized that it was Eric's voice.

She thought blankly for a while before trying to understand the cause and effect of the dream: that is, if she hadn't been kicked out of the Duke's manor at that time, Eric would have paid attention to this...who, oh, Christina ?

Thinking of this, sour jealousy filled her chest.

She gave a low snort.

No, it's sour.

very sour.

She wanted to throw away all the heavy jewelry on her body and run down to settle accounts with that man, but she couldn't move her body, so she could only sit there stiffly, watching him anger the Duke, the theater manager, and the chief lady for another woman. Treble, even... hung the body of the mechanic Bukai in the center of the stage, threatening everyone arrogantly.

Duke Clayton grabbed her by the shoulders and forcefully took her out of the box: "This ghost... really thinks he is the owner of the Paris Opera House, ridiculous! I will have a good communication with Viscount Charney some other day. Since sponsoring Once you enter this opera house, you should treat this kind of clown who has no self-knowledge."

She mobilized all the strength in her body, trying to break away from Duke Clayton's embrace, but she could only turn around.She saw the Viscount Shani whom she had seen before running onto the stage, grabbed the dumb servant's wrist, and led her away from this place of right and wrong.

What does this dream... want to tell her?

I want to say that if she had been pushed into the water that day and Odile hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have been kicked out of the Duke's estate, she wouldn't have met Eric, and she wouldn't have possessed him as thoroughly as she did before going to bed... do you mean this?

"Eric..." She couldn't help murmuring.

If it was louder, he would be able to hear it.It's a pity that the volume in the dream can only go so far.

"Honey, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly." Duke Clayton asked.

She opened her mouth and wanted to continue calling Eric's name, but replied uncontrollably, "It's nothing."

The time in the dream was fast and slow, and soon, a year passed.To her, this dream was like a nightmare deep in the sea, her limbs were imprisoned by the sea, unable to wake up or move.

Duke Clayton only loves talented women, but he is not a long-term lover.One year is enough for him to get tired of Blanche.In the past month, he has not appeared by her side again.

Today, the sun is just right.Sitting in the courtyard, Bai Lanzhi picked up a newspaper and read an article revealing the secret of the underground labyrinth of the Opera House.

Underground labyrinth?

Isn't that Eric's site? Why are there articles revealing the secrets there?

Thinking of this, she turned another page and saw an obituary at the bottom.

"Eric passed away."

The obituary directly woke her up from her dream.

The sky outside the window was slightly green, and Lin Tao was floating.

Bai Lanzhi rubbed her eyes to make sure she had woken up, she got up and went to the small table to pour a cup of cold tea.

The palpitation of seeing the obituary still stayed in her chest, and she had to drink two cups of cold tea to calm down her overly sad emotions.

What happens in a dream can't usually be deduced with common sense, but this dream...is too real, it's almost like a life that has been experienced in real life.Especially when thinking of Eric standing up for that dumb servant in the dream, her heart still feels sour.

Not happy to think about it.

"Why did you wake up?" Footsteps came from behind, a thin blanket was draped over her shoulders, Eric hugged her shoulders, stretched out a finger to test the temperature of the wall of the cup, "Thirsty? I'm going to boil water for you."

"Wait." She stopped him.

Regardless of whether that dream is true or not, first vent out the jealousy that is about to boil in my heart.

"Christina," she asked, humming softly, "who are you?"

He was slightly stunned for two seconds, and asked suspiciously, "What?"
