Nanjing, BASIS International School.
The music room is very well soundproofed.
It kept out the chill of the outside world and the noise of the campus.
Only the last note played by Steinway...
The echoes lingered in the empty room for a long time before finally fading into deathly silence.
Ye Xi slumped onto the piano bench.
The bangs in front of her forehead were damp with sweat and stuck to her smooth forehead.
The 150-minute high-intensity training session that had just ended made her feel like her fingers were about to break.
What my father and I brought back from Vienna were not gifts.
Instead, it's a training schedule that runs until 11 p.m.
That comment, "More wild than disciplined,"
It hung over her head like a ruler, forcing her to repeat the song forty times every day.
"What laws and regulations... they're all just shackles."
Ye Xi muttered something, then unceremoniously let her hands, which were worth eight figures, hang limply at her sides.
With his other hand, he skillfully pulled his phone out from a compartment in his backpack.
Her only source of emotional support was reading online literature after she finished practicing.
Although the ending of "The Ferryman" made her cry buckets,
But the book by "The Dream Weaver of Hell" was like a hook, making her itch with desire.
The screen lights up, and the Hongguo Reading APP refreshes automatically.
The novel "The Dream Weaver of Hell" has been updated with a new chapter: "The Fox Fairy's Medicine".
My previously limp fingers suddenly regained strength when they touched the edge of the phone.
The cold light from the screen reflected in her eyes, dispelling her previously lifeless drowsiness.
She kicked off her shoes and huddled in a corner of the piano bench, her fingertips hovering above the title.
The words flowed like mercury, spreading out in a breathtaking display.
The story in this chapter is not complicated, but it has a nauseatingly eerie quality.
The protagonist of the story is a girl with an ordinary appearance, or even some ugliness.
In this appearance-obsessed era, she encountered countless cold stares and ridicule.
Until one day, she accidentally walked into a convenience store called "444".
Zhao Li, who always wore a black trench coat and had a cold look in his eyes,
He handed her a bottle of medicine that emitted a strange fragrance.
"This is called the Fox Spirit's Medicine."
In the book, Zhao Li leans against the shelf, playing with the small bottle, his tone languid yet dangerous.
"Just one drop can transform you into an unparalleled beauty."
However, it has side effects.
The girl asked:
"What side effects? Does it cost money? I can borrow money, I can take out a loan!"
Zhao Li smiled, a smile that appeared particularly eerie under the cold light of the phone screen:
"Money? Money is the one thing that's never lacking in hell."
The key to this medicine is your greed.
The more greedy you are, the more fragrant it becomes; the more you try to hold onto beauty, the more it will devour.
The girl took the medicine.
The text on the screen resembled some kind of viscous liquid.
The face in the mirror is glowing.
The previously sunken bridge of the nose seemed to be pinched up by an invisible hand, and the pores closed quickly under the nourishment of the medicine.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, but the exotic fragrance grew stronger and stronger.
It's like a piece of rotting meat exposed to the scorching summer sun, sprayed with cheap perfume.
Ye Xi subconsciously held her breath, her fingers stiffly hovering above the screen.
She became an internet celebrity, a goddess.
She enjoys the adoration and financial support of countless men.
However, the strange fragrance grew stronger and stronger, until it turned into the stench of corpse oil.
She saw it in the mirror.
Beneath his perfect face, something seemed to be wriggling.
To maintain this false beauty, she had to beg the fox spirit for more medicine.
The price paid is also getting higher and higher.
From fingernails to hair, and then to...
life.
Ye Xi held her breath and slid her fingers quickly.
In the end, the girl was not saved.
On a stormy night,
In the live stream, in front of millions of fans,
That perfect face suddenly peeled off like plaster from a wall.
