phantom nightingale

With long sleeves on, who can see the feathers on your body?As long as you don't open your mouth to speak and pretend to be dumb, who will know that you can only make birdsong. "

His slender fingers slid across the boy's face, looking obsessively at the boy's perfect face, but spit out chilling words, "Yes! How lucky you are. Why don't you let me help you, let you It looks like an ordinary person!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and plucked out a few more feathers.

You are crazy!The boy waved his hand away and ran away.

Watching the back of the boy leaving, Eric restrained his urge to rush up and hug him.Finally, he covered his face and fell to the ground, sobbing, "Let's go! Let's go! Don't come back. I'm afraid I can't help but hurt you. Just like that nightingale, don't come back after you leave. That bird If the nightingale stays longer, I can't help it! Ah, you don't know, every time I watch it leave in the evening, I want to break its wings so that it will not follow me again. Seeing it sleeping next to me defenseless every morning makes me want to pluck its feathers so it can never fly again."

"You too. You don't know how happy I was during the days when your foot hurt. You have limited mobility and can only be hugged by me. You don't know, after your leg is healed, I have How much I want it to never get better, so that you can only rely on me.

"Remember when I asked you if you want to leave? You don't know, do you? If you say you want to leave, I will lock you up immediately so that you can never leave. Fortunately, you didn't say you wanted to leave.

"Let's go, let's go! Before I can't help but hurt you, go!"

Seven, wake up

The boy ran and stopped again.Eric should just be too upset to lose control of his emotions.He slapped himself hard, why are you shaking, why are you afraid, that's Eric!What is there to be afraid of!That's Eric who won't hurt himself!

No, I have to go back.

The boy turned around and ran back, but suddenly turned back into a bird.

How did I become a bird again!how so?Eric, don't you love me?Do you not need me anymore?

Nightingale flew away sadly.

Singing while flying, venting your emotions.

On the other side, Eric stared blankly at the feathers he had plucked out in his hand, and suddenly realized that the feathers on the boy's body were a bit like those dropped by a nightingale.He couldn't figure it out, the boy's singing voice was also very similar to Nightingale's, and it gave him the same feeling.You can't say that the boy is a nightingale, right?impossible!impossible!He denied his own Arabian Nights.How is this possible? One is a human and the other is a bird.

The nightingale went back to the wood, weeping sadly.

"Hiss~ what are you doing! I was crying so early in the morning, it made me have nightmares. Can you control your mana?" Water God was woken up by him, and slowly crawled over and asked.

Nightingale looked up at him, "You don't understand."

"Yo! I still don't understand, why? Broken love? All right, I don't understand, I'm single and I'm proud. But you don't understand about mana. Come, tell me, what's wrong?"

Nightingale told the ins and outs, but just after she finished speaking, she turned into a human again and almost fell from the tree.

The water god crawled around him twice, "Oh, not bad! Look at your pretty face."

"You know how to eat."

"Well, I didn't see any hair! Hey, it's too bad. You look more delicious without hair. I'm so hungry." The water god sucked the saliva that was about to drip, "You're so afraid because you still It’s caused by not being able to control your mana well! The more fluctuating your mood, the more unstable your mana will be. You should learn from me how to control your mana well! Fortunately, it’s still daytime, and the only people within your mana’s envelope are I'm sleeping. Otherwise, people will have nightmares. You don't know, what a horrible dream I had just now. It's scary when your mana is out of control, and nightmares can kill people. Before you learn spells well, you Don't even think about leaving. I don't want to have any more nightmares."

After the boy left, Eric lived a life like a walking dead again.He numbly watched Christine dating Viscount Raoul in secret, but found that his heart was not fluctuating.On the contrary, when I think of the way the boy looked at him in horror and his back when he left, my heart aches uncontrollably.

Recalling the boy's delicate face, the feathers dotted on his slender arms, the soft brown curly hair that resembled the fluff of a chick, and the way those watery eyes stared at him, he actually felt a burst of hotness in his body.

It seems that he made a mistake, he thought he was in love with Christine, but it turned out that he fell in love with that smart young man.Oh, but he still hurt the boy.He closed his eyes and gently kissed the feather in his hand, the feather he plucked from the boy himself, like a most devout believer.And he was, he was the most devout follower of his muse, and yet he hurt his god.

On this side, Nightingale finally learned to control her mana, and the water god was finally willing to let him go.Nightingale flew back in a hurry.Eric, are you okay?Didn't you have a good meal and a good rest?You still have Christine, though, maybe she's taking good care of you?Nightingale thought bitterly, but since I was able to become a human back then, and I still can now, then you must have me in your heart, and I still have a chance, right?I will definitely let you only have me in your heart!

When I flew to Eric's studio, I saw that he was so tired that he fell asleep lying on the table, and the table was full of song scores.Nightingale saw that, well, she wrote a lot of new songs, so she really didn't have a good rest.Nightingale landed on his shoulder, poking her head out to peck him awake, but when she got closer and saw his frowning brows, she couldn't bear it.

"No! Don't go," Eric suddenly yelled, waving his hands around, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

Nightingale quickly jumped up to avoid his waving hand, is this a nightmare?Who are you telling me not to leave?It can't be Christine, can it?Nightingale was a little jealous, but she still opened her mouth and sang a song, trying to get him out of the nightmare.

Unexpectedly, Eric had already woken up from the nightmare. Hearing the singing of Nightingale, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, feeling the long-lost softness in his hand. He looked at the palm of his hand in surprise: "Nightingale! You're back!"

The nightingale danced in his hand, chirp~ yes, I'm back.Nightingale is planning to turn into a human so that she can talk to Eric and tell Eric that both Nightingale and the boy are him.

"Since you're back, don't leave again."

There was only a crisp "click", and Nightingale looked down, and there was a thin chain on her feet.Eric pulled out a chain out of nowhere and locked him up.

Eric held Nightingale in both hands, closed his eyes and rubbed his cheek gently, "Do you know how long I have been looking for you? Do you know what kind of life I lead after you left? Do you know how lonely I am? ?”

What kind of life do you live?Nightingale looked up at him, wasn't she peeping at the little girl's perverted life?Looks like you started teaching Christine to sing before you got me back from the circus?You still follow her every day, do you think I don't know?Hurry up and take off the chain on my feet!If you do this, I can’t become a human, and if I can’t become a human, I can’t speak. How can I explain it to you?

Eric put the nightingale on the table and showed him the music score, "Look, I wrote you a lot of new songs, shall I sing them to you?"

Nightingale turned her head to ignore him, and concentrated on pecking at the chain on her foot.

Eric asked Nightingale to look at the plants in the house again, "I also found a lot of things you like to eat, don't you want to eat and see?"

Nightingale still ignored him and rattled the chain.

"Forget it, eat when you're hungry! I'll play the piano for you."

When Eric played the piano, Nightingale deliberately kept playing with the chain to make it rattle.The noisy voice is extremely discordant in the beautiful piano sound.Eric was not annoyed either, he was very patient and played one song after another for Nightingale.

Until the third day, Nightingale still wouldn't eat or drink, so Eric became anxious.He handed the fruit and water to Nightingale's mouth, "Eat it! If you don't eat it, at least drink some water!"

Nightingale was so weak that he couldn't even stand up. The smell of the food tempted him to take a bite, but he still turned his head and closed his eyes, continuing his hunger strike to the end.Hold on, you must hold on, or you will be hungry before.

Seeing Nightingale's weak appearance, Eric still couldn't bear it anymore.He picked up Nightingale, saw Nightingale moved, wanted to struggle but had no strength, closed his eyes, kissed Nightingale's head, and untied the chain on Nightingale's feet, tears also fell.Will you go?After being locked up by herself and knowing her true face, Nightingale will definitely leave without looking back, and never come back again.

It was finally untied for me, and Nightingale turned into a human by using her magic power, and sat on Eric's lap. "Don't cry, Eric. I didn't go, and I won't go," he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Eric's eyes.Eric opened his eyes in surprise, and in front of him was the delicate face of the young man, under the two white eyebrows were those eyes full of worry.Eric was about to say something, but he saw the young man rolled his eyes and passed out. It took his last bit of strength to cast mana to transform into a human.Eric quickly put his arms around the boy's waist to prevent him from falling backwards.

Eric lowered his head and kissed Nightingale's lips, feeling the rough touch on his lips, which was the dead skin on Nightingale's lips due to not dripping water.Eric hurriedly fed the nightingale water, but all of it leaked to the side, and he accidentally returned it.
