monster's bride

"No more." Bai Ji touched his mask and slowly took it off.

There was no way to face her with his true face, so at that moment, black resentment wrapped around Lu Zhizhi's eyes again, showing her an extremely beautiful face.

The second time she faced this face, she still felt a little unreal.

Lu Zhizhi lowered his head, picked up the food and put it into his mouth. It tasted delicious.

"It's delicious," she said softly.

Bai Ji smiled, "Then let's go shopping together after dinner. Do you have anything you want to buy? For example, clothes and bags."

"I?"

Lu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and asked him, "Now? After what happened?"

"You're acting too nervous and need to relax."

Bai Ji explained warmly, "As an ex-girlfriend, you will definitely be listed as the subject of investigation by the police regarding Jiang Jingyu's death. Once interrogated, can you answer with a better attitude?"

Lu Zhizhi's eyelashes trembled and he shook his head.

She didn't think it was possible. Just recalling those scenes in her mind now made her panic to death, and she completely lost the courage to act cruelly.

However, she did not remember that she had told Bai Ji that Jiang Jingyu was her ex-boyfriend.

"How do you know? The dead man was my ex-boyfriend."

Bai Ji's eyes moved slightly and he smiled, "You are of the same age, so it should be easy to guess."

That's right. Lu Zhizhi responded, "Then don't you ask me why I killed him?"

The deaths of those anchors were unintentional, but the death of Jiang Jingyu was clear and intentional. He completely inspired the dark side of her heart.

"He must deserve to die." Bai Ji said matter-of-factly, pouring hot milk into the cup in her hand, "I just understand."

Lu Zhizhi was silent.

After the meal, Bai Ji washed the dishes, put on the mask again, and pulled her out of the door.

As soon as he came out of the townhouse apartment building, Lu Zhizhi felt that his eyes had become blurry again. The apertures of the street lights were mosaic-doubled, and the facial features of the people coming and going were also blurred.

She didn't see the steps going down the curb. When she followed Bai Ji across the road, she missed her footing. The moment before she fell, the person in front turned around and stretched out his hand to catch her firmly in his arms.

Lu Zhizhi's eyes were confused, "I can't see clearly."

"Maybe you're too tired. You've been nervous all day." Bai Ji helped her stand up and stretched out his palm, "Shall I lead you?"

"Um"

Lu Zhizhi couldn't resist his beautiful fingers and raised his hand to hold it tightly.

The consumption in Times Square is mid-range, and there are still many young people and Internet celebrities gathering here at night.

The two entered a store selling bags. The lighting in the store was warm and not dazzling. Lu Zhizhi's eyes felt much better.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she went shopping. When she first started working, she just wanted to work hard to make money and buy a house in Beijing as soon as possible. She kept all her food and clothing expenses simple. Even cosmetics, she only bought some basic and cheap moisturizing products.

She was aroused by these beautiful things. After trying a few styles, she fell in love with a black leather shoulder bag and asked the store clerk about the price.

"You have such good taste. This is a classic model from our store. The discounted price is [-]. The bag currently on display is the last one."

Lu Zhizhi was very careful when holding the bag, "I'll take a look again."

The clerk was very enthusiastic and quickly introduced other styles to her.

She turned and looked to the side, and kept giving Bai Ji a look to leave. He didn't seem to get what she meant. He looked at the display bags and asked, "Which one do you like?" Lu Zhizhi said, "I'll take another look." "

She hoped that he would criticize her for not being suitable for this job. As expected, Teacher Yi understood her feelings about this kind of thing.

Soon a young girl in the store took a fancy to the classic bag just now. She wrapped her arms around the woman next to her and said coquettishly, "Mom, I like this. Just treat it as a birthday gift. Buy it for me."

Lu Zhizhi couldn't help but glance over, secretly paying attention to their harmonious atmosphere, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

She rejected the clerk's enthusiastic recommendation and turned around to leave.

"Pack it up."

A low and gentle voice spoke to the clerk from behind.

Lu Zhizhi turned around suddenly and saw that the last display bag was snatched away from the mother and daughter by Bai Ji and handed over to the clerk for payment.

She stepped back, quickly came to his side, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said anxiously: "Why did you buy this?"

Bai Ji swiped the card and held her finger, "I want to make you happy."

The clerk handed her the beautifully packaged shopping bag and said with a smile, "You are so lucky to have such a boyfriend."

Lu Zhizhi liked it very much, but he also felt distressed.

She pulled him out of the store quickly. In order to take care of his self-esteem, she just whispered in his ear: "Are you crazy? More than 1 yuan is enough for your living expenses for two to three months."

"Because you like it."

"But it's expensive! Very expensive!"

Bai Ji lowered his eyes, put his palm on the top of her head, leaned over and looked directly at the slightly panicked face, his charming fox eyes were particularly pure and suspicious.

"Between poor couples, the husband can occasionally spend time creating surprises for his wife. My desire to give you a gift has little to do with the value of the gift."

But this metaphor should not be applied to the two of them.

We haven't reached that step yet, right?

Lu Zhizhi suddenly wanted to tell him about her bad past, which was the biggest obstacle. Although she thought the gentle Bai Ji would definitely understand, she just couldn't tell him. The shame and despair that had been with her for several years, It's not something you can let go of.

"I don't deserve this from you."

Her eyes, which were originally red and swollen, became slightly moister, "But I selfishly accepted all your goodness."

"Selfish?"

Bai Ji chuckled, which was not full of contempt for her, but a tone of praise.

He put his arm around her shoulders and bent down, "This is selfless, Lu Zhizhi. You can accept my presence by your side, which is already a huge kindness."

"How can you think like this?" Lu Zhizhi was really surprised.

"You can treat me as you like, don't think so much, don't have so many restrictions, you can do whatever you want." Bai Ji said matter-of-factly, with an expression as if he was born to be rubbed by her at will.

Lu Zhizhi looked at his passionate eyes that were gradually burning with fire, and he didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

Bai Ji, who can deal with the murder scene without changing his face, is also a bit abnormal himself.

Bai Ji stared at her for a while, his exposed expression gradually turned into disappointment, the curve of the upper eyelids drooped, and his eyelashes swept a layer of haze over his eyelids.

"Sorry, I was too impulsive."
