[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

Fortunately, as soon as I woke up, the feeling of the deer bumping disappeared.

After Bai Lanzhi finished washing, she hesitated in the mirror for a long time, finally picked up the eyebrow pencil, swept it along the hair flow of her eyebrows a few times, wiped a little red lipstick on the center of her lips, and slowly rubbed it with her fingertips.She knew that men don't like women with heavy makeup, so after the lipstick smudged away, she wiped off the excess with a handkerchief.After such a modification, it seems that there is no change at first glance, but the complexion is as gorgeous as a watered rose.

She bent down, put on the white stockings, fastened the leather suspenders, tied up the pointe shoes, put on the cloak and went out. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a brown-haired man who seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time. In an instant, he froze for more than ten seconds, and then showed a warm smile: "You are Bai Lanzhi, right?"

"...you are?" Bai Lanzhi glanced at him, bowed her head and tied the cloak tie.

"I'm the head of the theater dance troupe, Hubert." The brown-haired man said with a smile. "Yesterday, everyone was very excited when we found out that you were here, but Mr. Daroja didn't allow us to come out to meet you. You know, since After Ms. Odile became famous, the nobles no longer liked ballet pantomime. The sopranos sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the Paris Opera House. You are the only soprano who came to our theater. Next month, the salary of our dance troupe can It's up to you whether it's issued normally."

Although he had a friendly attitude, Bai Lanzhi could hear a hint of ambiguous hospitality from his tone, she couldn't help being somewhat resistant, but she didn't show it on her face, she nodded with a smile: "Really." Saying that, Turn around and walk towards the dance studio.

Hubert immediately followed her, looking for something to say: "You wear pointe shoes, are you interested in ballet?"

If there were no such inferences from Daroga, Bai Lanzhi might think that his doubts were normal, but now he only thinks that he is hypocritical and impetuous. He is obviously a chief dancer, but his eyesight is not as good as that of a theater manager, and he suddenly rushed up There must be something weird about being courteous.

She didn't answer, and Hubert didn't care, and continued: "Do you want me to give you some advice? I was born in the dance school of the Paris Opera House, and I was the male second of "Giselle". Don't worry, my level Absolutely tough."

Bai Lanzhi said perfunctorily, "So you are so powerful."

After the words fell, she happened to walk to the door of the dance studio.She didn't seem to make an appointment with Eric for a practice time yesterday. I don't know if he will wait for her in the dance studio... Maybe he will. His knowledge of music is so profound, he must be a person who is extremely strict with himself, maybe She had already been sitting in front of the piano waiting for her. Thinking of this, her heart beat violently twice, and her palms were soaked in sweat.

... Strange, didn't it return to normal in the morning?

She shook her head, shaking off these messy thoughts.Pushing open the door of the dance studio, there were four or five young girls in exercise uniforms standing inside. They were practicing basic skills while holding the bar, talking and laughing quietly. When they saw Bai Lanzhi walk in, they were silent for a moment.

The girls looked at each other a few times, and they all saw surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.A few seconds later, a tall girl asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Before Bai Lanzhi had time to speak, Hubert squeezed over, patted her on the shoulder pretending to be familiar, and answered first: "She is the new soprano yesterday, Bai Lanzhi. On the way here, she told me I am very interested in ballet, and I want to see you practice basic skills, I hope you don't mind and be kind to her."

Blanche: "..."

Blanche gave him a displeased look. Is this Hubert speaking for her, or making her an enemy?Originally, these girls had no feelings for Bai Lanzhi, but after he said so much, they all showed disgust.

Someone said bluntly: "It's not enough to wear pointe shoes to dance ballet. If you don't go through strict training and force yourself to stand on pointe, you will only strain your feet. We will not dare to take responsibility at that time."

"That's right, it's not that the theater doesn't have a lounge for sopranos, it's bigger than the dance practice room. Now she's the only soprano in the theater, so why not come here and squeeze in with us if you want to go to the lounge."

Hubert seemed helpless, and wanted to say something more. This time, Blanche interrupted him directly, with a soft but loud voice: "Sorry, I am not familiar with this gentleman, and what he said does not represent my opinion. Thoughts. I'm here for dance practice. Does anyone know where Mr. Eric is?"

dance practice?

What do you mean?

So people can dance?

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, the faces of the girls who were targeting Bai Lanzhi turned red, they shrank back and went to practice by themselves, unwilling to answer.Hubert also touched his nose in embarrassment, looking left and right.

Only the tall girl who answered first came over and said gently: "He came here just now and left again. Your name is Bai Lanzhi, right? I'm Linde. If you don't know anything during dance practice, you can ask me. I'm not like them."

Lind and Hubert had been members of a dance troupe and knew he was the best at hooking young girls who didn't know much about the world.His most common routine is to push the girl to the cusp of the storm first, watch her being isolated with cold eyes, and then speak comforting words, so as to capture the girl's heart.I thought that Bai Lanzhi was also one of Hubert's defenseless prey, but I didn't expect that she would be so straightforward and clear up her relationship with him in a few words.Seeing Hubert's embarrassing expression, Linde felt happy, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little bit fond of Bai Lanzhi.

Bai Lanzhi hadn't pressed her ligament for about seven days, so she wouldn't refuse someone to help her.She took off her cloak and hung it aside, revealing her muscular arms and calves.Although the other girls ran to the back, they were still secretly observing her movements.They used to think of muscles when people mentioned muscles, but Bai Lanzhi's muscles were different. Her muscles were tight and thin, and her figure was slender but not weak. Every line was like a combination of strength and beauty. .

Looking at his figure again, he was still skinny, but without curves, and his ribs were prominent and distinct, and he was instantly compared to the dust.A few girls lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to look at Bai Lanzhi, but there were still two or three girls with wide eyes, staring at her movements as if they were bound to find out her flaws.

Blanche knew they were looking at her, but she didn't mind and wasn't shy.In the Duke's Manor, female pets are a controversial existence, and they receive all kinds of strange looks every day.A nobleman directly called them "human animals" with a joke and forbade them to enter the parlor.

In this regard, Bai Lanzhi had long since lost her sense of shame, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with being a pet girl.Before becoming a pet girl, she was just a little beggar, without father or mother, unable to even have a full meal, running around in the muddy alley like wild cats and dogs.Later, he was discovered by a servant of a royal servant, and sent to the Duke's manor as a favor.Seeing that her facial features were beautiful and correct, the butler allowed her to attend classes with the female pets.

At the beginning, she studied very hard, but she couldn't even do the most basic thing of raising her head up.The Duke didn't like women with poor manners. If she kept hunchbacked, she would have to live like a stray cat or dog again.In order to be able to stay, she used all the free time to practice her body.A female pet joked that standing on the foot of a wall can get rid of the bad habit of hunchback.She really stood there day and night for more than a month.

Not to mention ballet, the first godmother who taught them ballet was the former principal of the Paris Opera House. In front of everyone, she scolded her ugly insteps, which were as stiff as rocks, and threatened to drive her out.Bai Lanzhi was still young at that time, and she was very anxious. In order to stretch the instep of her instep into the "crescent shape" as her godmother called it, whenever she had time, she knelt and sat down to press her foot. Once she used the wrong posture and suffered from cramps and pain for more than ten minutes. Almost fainted from pain.It wasn't until she changed a godmother later that she realized that the most important thing in ballet is the balance and stability of the limbs. Whether the instep is good or bad is important, but it is far from important enough to determine her life.

Blanche held on to the handlebar, casually straightened her toes, and touched her back foot with her front heel.Two girls opened their mouths wide and stared blankly. Another girl rubbed her eyes and asked her companion in shock which side was Bai Lanzhi's instep.

Linde was also surprised: "Your instep is so beautiful."

Bai Lanzhi thought for a while: "Practice more, you can do it too."

After all, the foundation was there. After several failures, Blanche successfully jumped out of the Arabesque spin.

The girls in the back were shocked to the point of numbness—not to mention arabesque rotation, their supporting legs would tremble even when they were doing arabesque, which was so smooth as Bai Lanzhi. His eyes turned red with envy.

At this moment, the door of the dance studio was suddenly knocked open, and a girl with neat bangs held up a newspaper and shouted as she ran, "Everyone—big news! Viscount Garnier is coming to our theater to watch an opera tonight! Hey, tell me, what does our manager think, to let a rookie fight Odell, isn't that putting his face in front of Viscount Garnier?"

In the past, when she read the newspaper like this, people around would come over excitedly to read and discuss with her, but today it was strange, they all looked at her stiffly, and some people shook their heads and waved their hands, as if signaling her not to say.

"What's the matter with you all? Aren't you curious about tonight's news?" Qi Liuhai flicked the newspaper with his fingers, "After tonight, our theater will become a joke. I advise everyone to hurry up and find a new home." , going to the circus to perform is better than being here!"

After finishing the words, a cold but pleasant voice came from behind her: "You want to go to the circus, no one is stopping you."

Eric appeared at the door of the dance practice room. He still had an extremely ordinary appearance, but his figure was slender and straight. He was wearing a black coat, a double-breasted shirt, dark brown trousers and leather shoes on his lower body. Hubert, who was even better, went down.He looked at his watch, hooked his fingers to Bai Lanzhi: "Come here, I've been looking for you for a long time."
