monster's bride

"Coincidentally, you are here."

Bai Ji got out of the car and came to her side. He took another look at the medicine bag in her hand and said, "You went to the hospital to dispense medicine again."

Lu Zhizhi didn't hide it from him, but he was a little depressed, "Well, it won't get better soon."

"it does not matter."

Bai Ji bought two steaming sweet potatoes, opened them and put them into her hands. "No matter what, you will still have me. You know I will never leave you."

Lu Zhizhi ate a spoonful of sweet sweet potatoes and relaxed his tense shoulders, "Let's go home."

Not long after she moved to her new apartment, Bai Ji moved downstairs from her.

Lu Zhizhi opened the door and walked in, took off his shoes, put on plush slippers and stepped onto the entrance steps. Bai Ji was still standing below to change his shoes.

He was so tall that he was taller than Lu Zhizhi even with his bare feet on the ground.

Seeing that she was blocking the door and not letting him go up, he showed a puzzled expression.

"Can't I go in?"

Lu Zhizhi shook his head, "You should come closer first."

He walked obediently to the steps, and his toes were almost touching.

The close chest, the faint smell of forest vegetation, the smell of decay, made me feel inexplicably reassured.

Lu Zhizhi took the initiative to wrap his arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace.

Bai Ji was stunned for a moment by her initiative, then reached out and pressed her tightly into his arms, his eyebrows slightly curved, and all the cells in his body felt comfortable after being surprised.

"What's wrong with you?" He was extremely gentle. While restraining her, he gently stroked her back.

"Life is so tiring." Lu Zhizhi closed her eyes and buried her head in the crook of his neck, "But I still have the idea of ​​​​working hard to live. It will be much better if I can hug my boyfriend and be comforted."

Bai Ji's eyes were bright, and he tilted his head sideways. The chin that was originally resting on the top of her hair was rubbed sideways, "Me too, my week has not been smooth at all."

"Didn't you participate in the discussion? Is it still going well?" Lu Zhizhi asked casually, leaning against him lazily and not wanting to move.

Bai Ji answered matter-of-factly: "Because there are so many difficult and complicated diseases, it is very troublesome to solve them. I feel very sad when I don't get the results I want."

He endured the surgery and had his face sutured, but the sutures split even after a day. The doctors teamed up to defraud him of his money.

In order to prevent the cause of death of the two corpses from being traced to him, the monster in the body scratched their faces, leaving no iconic traces of the crime, and he also cleaned up all evidence that might be exposed.

He was really tired this week and didn't sleep well.

Lu Zhizhi hugged him for a while, then pushed him away, "You can go back after dinner."

It was Bai Ji who cooked dinner. In order not to let himself be abandoned, he used her kitchen as his own place to show off his skills and cooked a delicious dinner.

"Take off your mask."

Lu Zhizhi picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, looking at him seriously, "I told you I would get used to it."

Bai Ji hesitated for a moment and took off the mask.

While eating, blood overflowed from the new and cracked scar and dripped onto the table. He hurriedly covered his face. Lu Zhizhi had already handed over the tissue, with a slight look of pity in his eyes. She said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You must spend it alone this year. Come with me."

Bai Ji: "Really?"

"Well, I am also a person." Lu Yao replied with a smile.

In this way, she took the initiative to decide that the two of them would celebrate the New Year together. She had purchased most of the New Year's goods and stored them at home. Since she didn't have any relatives to move around, she would bring Teacher Yi something from the gift boxes she had prepared in advance. , most of the things are still kept for home use.

And just a day or two ago, Lu Zhizhi still thought this way before receiving a call from her mother, until she changed her number and called, crying desperately on the other end.

"Zhizhi, something big happened at home, Zhizhi. My husband and my son went out to buy new year's goods, and they were crushed to death by a big truck. Zhizhi, I don't know what to do."

"Can you come back? It's been so many years. I'm begging you to come back and help me this time. I'm the only one left at home. I really don't know what to do."

Lu Zhizhi opened his lips, but didn't know what to say.

Deep down, she only had the idea that this had anything to do with me.

She is very indifferent to her mother and thinks she has no family affection at all. With such a big thing happening at home, should she go back to see her for the last time?

Thinking that Bai Ji was also born in Tong County, those vague memories of his childhood aroused Lu Zhizhi's desire for discovery more than maternal love.

In fact, she had long forgotten what she had done as a child, so much so that the two brothers from the Bai family were deeply impressed by her.

The mother on the other end of the phone was crying and gasping for breath and almost knelt down. In the end, she didn't hear her answer. She said as if she was risking her life: "I heard from Chen Shumei that you are now a teacher in the best school in Beijing." , Lu Zhizhi, I don’t ask you to support me in my old age, but just ask you to come back and see me, do you have to force me to go to school?"

After hiding her whereabouts for so many years, her success fell short because she met Shi Yu's adoptive mother.

Lu Zhizhi's face was gloomy, knowing that her mother's words were enough to threaten her future life.

"I'll go back."

After agreeing to go back during the New Year, the other party hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Lu Zhizhi went downstairs and told Bai Ji about this, and the other person's answer was what she expected, "I'll go back with you and celebrate the New Year there."

Lu Zhizhi has not been back to Tong County for a long time.

It takes thousands of kilometers from Beijing's airport to get to this corner of the county town. The development here is still lagging behind that of the bustling metropolis. There is no subway, and the main means of transportation is the one-yuan bus.

The only thing that is different from before is that there are still a few high-rise buildings scattered here and there, and there is a business park.

Lu Zhizhi, who had been riding for a whole day, still had to take a taxi for half an hour. He was already very sleepy looking at the sunset outside.

Bai Ji stretched out his hand to support her head and put it on his shoulder, "I will watch it for you."

She leaned on his shoulder, "I still remember that your home here is just a street away from my former home. Can I go and take a look when I have time?"

Bai Ji: "Okay, but it's probably already in ruins."

The slanting sunset hit the side of Lu Zhizhi's face directly, and the light was scorching. As soon as she frowned, the orange-red color on her eyelids was blocked by a touch of darkness, and the slightest coolness blocked the heat and became comfortable.

Bai Ji raised his hand to block her eyes and gently pressed her cheek until the car entered the corner and entered the dark side of the street.
