monster's bride

Lu Zhizhi smiled helplessly and turned around to let him see his embarrassed back, "I am extremely unlucky today. You bought me the right one at the right time."

"What to eat tonight?"

"I have a lot of meatballs and vegetables in the refrigerator. How about making a spicy hot pot?"

"Okay."

Lu Zhizhi added: "But I hope you can be brave enough to take off your mask and eat with me."

"When I can accept my ugly appearance, I will take it off."

Lu Zhizhi turned his head and glanced at Bai Ji, sighing in his heart, to what extent had he been raped before?

"Ok."

The mask incident at Chengguan Primary School caused panic. The police came to investigate the day after the incident. However, because the other party was very familiar with the routes near the school, they were unable to obtain a result in a short period of time.

Soon, just a few days after Liu Shu's child had an accident, another child claimed that he encountered a masked woman blocking his way home. If the noodle shop aunt on the street hadn't rushed out to save him, there would have been another murder.

This suddenly caused panic among the parents of the students, and the incident happened just when the cram school was over, causing many parents to temporarily give up tutoring in the evening for the safety of their children.

When school is over, many people pick up their children and leave.

When Lu Zhizhi returned to the vicinity of the elementary school after a week's interval, many establishments had posted notices temporarily closing their operations.

The educational institution where she had just prepared to interview was also empty.

After coming downstairs and passing the school, she met Liu Shu who was pushing a stroller and waiting for the girl to finish school.

It was the other party who recognized her first, "Huh? Miss Lu!"

Lu Zhizhi stopped and looked at her, remembering this person, and nodded in greeting.

"Are you here to pick up your children from school too? What grade are they in?" Liu Shu asked with a smile.

Lu Zhizhi said: "I don't have children. I came to the educational institutions here to interview for a part-time job, but I found that many institutions were closed."

Speaking of this, Liu Shu's expression dimmed. She glanced at the high-rise building across the street, "There have been several incidents this week where children were almost killed when they met the masked woman. We don't dare to kill the children now." People stay here to take classes, and now it’s a state where tutoring has completely stopped.”

Lu Zhizi suddenly said, "That's it."

Liu Shu looked at her and suddenly said: "Why don't you come to my house to tutor my child alone? Can Miss Lu teach Chinese or mathematics? Once classes are suspended here, my child will fall far behind others. She has two more children. The midterm exam is coming up next week, and I’m worried that my grades will decline.”

The conditions she proposed satisfied the child's safety and solved Lu Zhizhi's job.

In addition, the salary offered by Liu Shu was very considerable, and Lu Zhizhi had no reason to refuse.

In the evening of that day, she decided to go to Liu Shu's house to help her children with homework and trial lessons. She even called Bai Ji at the last minute and told him that she would be home late at night.

It wasn't until get out of class ended at 7pm that Liu Shu thought it was okay and readily paid the salary for ten classes in advance.

Lu Zhizhi said goodbye to her and walked out. Unexpectedly, it started raining outside.

Liu Shu: "Wait for me, I'll get you an umbrella."

Lu Zhizhi stood there and waited for a while when a voice came from behind the door, "Teacher Lu, do you have a friend to pick you up?"

The video doorbell at home was rang. Liu Shu, who was holding an umbrella in his hand, looked at the man holding the umbrella in the video interface. He looked up as if he was aware of it. Only a pair of blurry eyes were exposed under his short black hair. The rest of his expression was expressionless. Covered up by a mask.

Liu Shu felt a little weird.

Lu Zhizhi walked in and recognized Bai Ji at a glance, "He is my boyfriend."

But she remembered that she didn't tell him where she would take tutoring tonight.She frowned slightly.

Liu Shu opened the automatic door of the courtyard. A man wearing a black windbreaker and a red scarf looked very eye-catching under a large transparent umbrella.

"Your boyfriend is so tall!" Liu Shu and Lu Zhizhi stood side by side and couldn't help but sigh, "Is he a model? Or some kind of profession where it's not convenient to show his face."

Lu Zhizhi smiled and lied casually, "I'm just a doctor. He has been suffering from inflammation around his lips recently and is not very suitable for showing up."

"That's it." Liu Shu said half-jokingly: "When I see people wearing masks now, regardless of gender, I feel panicked."

Bai Ji tilted the umbrella and pulled Lu Zhizhi under the umbrella, "Let's go."

The two slowly left the courtyard and walked out of this valuable community. A police car sped past in the dark night. Bai Ji glanced at the man in the car window and heard Lu Zhizhi beside him say:

"I remember I didn't tell you where I was tutoring tonight, how did you know?"

"You told me when you called me." Bai Ji said gently, "Did you forget it again?"

Lu Zhizhi was stunned, "Have I forgotten again?"

Bai Ji took out a bottle of medicine from his coat pocket and stuffed the cold bottle into her palm, "You went out for the day and forgot to bring the medicine."

Lu Zhizhi held the bottle tightly and said, "Yes."

She can't always forget that she has mental illness and has killed many people because of it.

She pursed her lips and said, "I forgot to eat."

Bai Ji held her fingers and put them back into his coat, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"whatever."

It was too late to go home and cook, and it was very cold to stand at the intersection and take a taxi in the increasingly heavy rain. Finally, after walking a certain distance, Bai Ji took her into a small noodle restaurant that looked ordinary.

There was no one inside now, except for a woman in an apron who was teaching her children to do their homework. When she heard someone pushing the door open, she put away her original gloomy expression and asked enthusiastically: "What are you going to eat?"

Lu Zhizhi looked at the menu and randomly ordered one.

The two sat down at the table opposite the boy. With her sharp eyes, she noticed a clear slap mark on one side of the child's face, which looked like it had been slapped not long ago.

She pursed her lips and turned to look at the woman making noodles in the window. After thinking about it, she still didn't mind her own business.

Soon two portions of steaming noodles were placed on the table. The proprietress sat next to her son again and asked him: "I told you the wrong question just now. Have you figured it out now?"

"Um"

The boy grunted in response, but his hand was placed on the wrong question book and he didn't dare to move away.

This look made the woman lose her temper. She waved away the boy's hand and pulled the wrong question book over. She looked through it carefully and found that it was all wrong. The pent-up anger in her heart suddenly burst out.

"Wrong again! Wrong again! How could you do it wrong again!"

Lu Zhizhi almost got burned with a mouthful of noodles. The soup in the bowl splashed on his face, and Bai Ji immediately wiped it with his hand.

"Hold your chopsticks steady," he reminded.

"Uh-huh."
