[Phantom of the Opera] In Praise of Iris

Christine looked more haggard than usual—although the trouble from the phantom made her look a little tired, she was not as weak as she is now.Erin confirmed once again that this girl who always arouses her jealousy from time to time is really sick.

"Irene, you're here." Christine was leaning halfway on the head of the bed, but her deeply contoured facial features unexpectedly showed a soft beauty.

"Ah, yes, I heard from Sister Meg that you haven't been feeling well recently, so I came to see you. But you really don't look good... Ah, I mean, are you okay now?" Irene The sparkling eyes and the naturally drawn corners of the mouth all convey to the girls the gentleness and friendliness of the master, with a little bit of habitual shyness; the honey-like voice has a comforting and wonderful power .

Christine never rejected this power.The girl sank into the quilt more relaxedly than before, her dark brown eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cat-like delicacy: "Irene, I often feel tightness in my chest recently..."

"Is it because the new dance skirt is too tight?" Irene showed impeccable care at the right time.

"Ah, maybe." Christine perfunctory unhappily, the next sentence, but turned into an impatient begging, "Sing for me? I haven't heard you sing for a long time. Ah, you If the singing voice, the sweet and gentle voice like honey, can be heard in my ears again, no matter what kind of disease I will no longer be afraid of.”

"My honor." This wasn't the first time a girl had made such a request. Seeing the familiar blurred light in Christine's eyes, Irene smiled gently, and of course she didn't refuse.

"When the light comes and the night retreats shyly, the birds wake up one after another."

"Be patient, and wait for the proud singer to put on her fine clothes, adorned with dense branches and leaves like flowers."

"Don't disturb their graceful walk in the forest. When the morning dew soaks your clothes, the most brilliant song in the world will dispel all the haze and light up your dusty heart."

"It will dispel the haze and light up my heart?"

"Like a vetiver orris in full bloom, singing loudly to the grandeur of light and freedom."

"But I'm always trapped in the free fate and broken passion, and I often feel that I will leave in the next second."

"You should believe in the justice of the gods, take every moment of life seriously and ensure the purity of your soul. When you finish this life, you will find that guiding Hongqiao will take you to the paradise of Yongle."

"May I follow the fragrance of irises and go to a paradise where there will be no more suffering..."

Irene's voice seems to be born with a magical power to confuse people. Although the singing skills inherited from Phantom are always insufficient in the eyes of the instructor, it is the most captivating interpretation for girls struggling with Phantom's singing.

This is the singing voice that truly belongs to the music angel!It is the thickest and purest benevolent light given to devout believers after peeling off all hidden gloom!Christine couldn't help echoing the singing, as if she had returned to her childhood in a trance. At that time, she was not a poor creature being watched day and night, not a living prey, but a lamb sleeping peacefully under the angel's white wings. ... The girl's delicate nerves gradually relaxed in her soothing singing, and finally fell into a deep sleep as expected.

"My angel, will you lead me to heaven?" Indistinctly, Irene heard Christine whisper unconsciously.

"Good luck, my little angel." Unfortunately, I'm not the pure white part of "Music Angel".Irene pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth as always, then turned her head, facing Meg who had been silent before, making the smile softer without any trace, "Sister Meg, please tell me Kelly What happened to Si Ting, okay? Recently, she looks pretty bad, I... I'm a little worried about her. "

"If you're really interested in knowing about it." Meg was always unconsciously provocative when facing Irene, the cute little girl. She thought it was her contempt for her friend's weak character. Worried; but for Irene, it should be the instinctive vigilance of a girl with a keen intuition against a smiling mask.If you don't mind including the follow-up to the musical film "Phantom of the Opera" in 04 - "The Phantom of the Opera II: Love Never Dies", perhaps this may have something to do with the temptation and defense between rivals?

All in all, not something to be happy about.Irene maintained her usual dullness in front of Meg, and secretly decided to be more vigilant against this now somewhat stubborn girl.

"Actually, even if I don't tell you, you should know why." Meg's intuition was obviously not sharp enough to detect the subtle changes in Irene's mentality, so she just answered casually.If it wasn't for the bright azure blue that clearly showed the owner's anxiety and worry, Irene might have thought that she didn't really care about her little sister very much.Thinking of this, Irene couldn't help feeling a little proud.After all, the three of them formed such a delicate relationship. More bluntly speaking, Irene contributed a lot to Meg and Christine's transformation from close sisters who talked about everything to the current awkward way of getting along.And for all this, she did not intend to use "unintentional mistakes" to explain.

It's a pity that Irene is definitely not the kind of saint personality who would be driven mad by guilt, or it can be considered that this innocuous change is far from the bottom line that can make her feel guilty.Although she routinely expresses her guilt and panic in a timely manner, with perfect posture, eyes, just right small movements, and any other ways that are not easy to show affectation.Although, she actually understands better than anyone else what kind of drastic changes this seemingly slight alienation can bring about at the right time.

"That hideous ghost, who left a strange stack of music on the table in our room the night before, came and left quietly without any of us noticing! This is nothing short of provocative! "There is no need for Irene to ask again, Meg has already explained most of the whole story like beans in a bamboo tube.

"Ah, the night before yesterday? Was it after we sent birthday wishes? That should be a birthday present prepared by Christine's music angel? Although... Christine's angel has indeed become a little weird recently, but Isn't this a surprise once a year? Christine...she shouldn't fall ill because of it." Irene expressed doubts slowly, her clear lake green pupils completely reflecting Meg's raging eyes.

"No angel would torture his believer like this, unless it is a devil in an angel's coat!" Meg cut the conversation, gnashing her teeth and cursing in a low voice, but then sighed dejectedly, "You know, Christine We are watched by him all the time, including now, I am almost sure that that horrible ghost is watching us somewhere in the theater! Christine has been trying to escape, but she is always lured by that weird singing! "

"Have you heard that song?"

"No, but I've heard him speak, about banishing me, and that specter sings only in Christine's heart."

"Then how do you know that the singing voice from the depths of the soul doesn't make her unable to extricate herself because it is beautiful enough?"

"If it was beautiful enough, it wouldn't frighten her so much!"

"I remember, Christine said, the angel liked her singing very much."

Before the dispute became sharp, Irene changed the subject in time, and her honey-like soft voice perfectly neutralized the grievance rising in her heart for the mentor, making it a straightforward inquiry that showed intimacy.

"Okay, don't mention this! I don't want to give the despicable creatures hiding in the dark corners a chance to laugh at me!" Meg looked very impatient, but unconsciously there was deep disgust in her eyes.In addition to the disgust, Irene carefully noticed the fear in Meg's eyes that she could hardly find herself.So Erin finally felt relieved.In fact, watching the girl who loves her mentor so much, under her own guidance, deepen her dislike of "ghosts" a little bit, it is really a pleasant thing-even the original college student Irene knows, Creatures like "rivals in love", no matter in the present tense or in the future tense, the fewer the better.It's just that she couldn't help worrying before, because of her intervention, Meg learned of the existence of the phantom in advance, and whether it would add some bad variables to her pursuit.

"Sister Meg, in fact, I think that strange musical angel has good intentions towards Christine most of the time." With an overly soft voice, it is easy for people to overlook the seriousness in it, "I mean, if his singing voice is indeed As attractive as Christine described, his heart should be equally fragrant and moving. Well, maybe he just bothered you because of his inappropriate expressions. After all, according to Christine’s description, in addition to being too Strong presence and strict requirements, everything is okay."

"So you think I should suggest to Christine to pretend not to feel the prying eyes of the ghost, to deceive herself and accept the temptation of the devil, until one day she will be completely dragged to hell?" Sure enough, Irene's words reached Meg's ears completely. It had the opposite effect, the girl who was burning with anger was almost roaring, and the voice that was not ethereal was obviously pierced with sharp thorns.

"Sister Meg! Keep your voice down, let Christine sleep a little longer." Irene speeded up her speech, showing a slightly anxious expression.

"If you had heard it speak and felt the persecution of that ghost everywhere, you wouldn't question us so presumptuously!" Meg lowered her volume obediently, but her expression was vicious, "Also, don't think that you Justify it and make that cold-blooded devil let you go! Ah, yes, you better hope your words don't interest him. After all, any kindness in the face of a violent specter will lead to even more outrageous bullying! "

"Sister Meg..." Irene bit her light pink lips lightly, looking a little at a loss.

"Give her that music, Meg." The voice interjected at the door just in time to save her.

"Mom!" Meg was stunned for a moment, then turned around and exclaimed.

"Aunt Jiri!" Irene breathed a sigh of relief, and there was an inconspicuous jump in her soft voice.

"Irene, I apologize to you on behalf of Meg, and I hope you will forgive my daughter for being rude." The woman with a cold face walked into the room wrapped in a stiff black dress, with a hairline that was too high for her age And the high heels of the same color that make a "da da" sound are the reasons why the little girls in the opera house are in awe of her.However, it must be admitted that this woman, who is not too old, has the admirable tenacity that people of the same class often have and their rare etiquette. Even if the etiquette is too rigid, it is not so flattering in many cases .

"Mom, that's a 'gift' from the ghost. Do you want Christine or even me to bear the wrath of the ghost?"

"Listen to me, Meg, don't call him a 'ghost', at least, don't call him that in front of Christine." Even when facing her daughter, Mrs. Geary didn't look particularly close, just the worry hidden in her eyes. Reminding Irene vaguely, what Sister Meg has more than herself.

"I heard that our little Irene is very interested in 'Music Angel'." Not allowing Meg to say anything more, Mrs. Geary bent down and held the corner of her mouth towards Irene, as if trying to make a loving expression, "Then, Take the sheet music, and try the angel's melody, and make him fall in love with your wonderful voice." And spare my Meg and Christine.Mrs. Geary didn't say the last sentence, but Irene guessed it easily.

Erin even wanted to give her a knowing smile for a moment, but in the end she just kept silent.

The author has something to say: La la la, the Meg family has thick lines, and the image seems to be broken, but this is the Mrs. Geary as I understand it

And, who knows the sadness of the author, who secretly saved the manuscript after being banned from the Internet, and took the opportunity to go out for a walk with his mother. . .
