The rich wife is addicted to escape

Before she could reprimand her, the other party took the opportunity to pull her hard and fell directly in the direction of Chris.

Afraid of pressing on Chris' wound, she could only stretch out her hand to support the sofa in a panic, and was hugged by him in the next second.

Sage and sea salt fill the nostrils, the signature of a well-known perfume house that Chris recently endorsed.

She had to admit that her worries about him were too much. No matter what, she couldn't ignore the professionalism and development potential of the man in front of her as a model.

As a killer before, he must have seen all kinds of people a long time ago, so he naturally knows how to speak and how to behave in order to please the bosses to the greatest extent and achieve his goal.

Otherwise, it is obviously a bit of a fantasy to get one hot endorsement after another with just one face.

"Sue, thank you."

Chris's tone was sincere like never before, Su Jiarui was slightly taken aback, her face was lightly pressed against the other's neck, and her heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.

"Ever since my sister died, I haven't felt so at ease and happy as I am now. It seems that I have made the right decision in coming to Yuncheng."

This is the rare time since the two met, Chris took the initiative to mention his deceased sister to her.

Su Jiarui sighed slightly, and had to admit that in some respects, Chris was the same as her, and even more miserable than her.

At any rate, when she was a child, she experienced family affection under the care of her mother, but Chris was always alone. Even when he was young, he hadn't understood what love is, so he had to pick up a weapon and be ordered to kill someone who was the same as himself. irrelevant people.

Either kill someone or be killed by someone else.

Growing up in such a cruel world, Chris always reminded her of herself who was tortured in the Su family.

They all closed their hearts and faced the love and light that they had been longing for, but they were as cowardly as cowards.

That's why every time she faces Chris, she has a feeling of wanting to take good care of him, because she understands that Chris deserves a brighter and better future. To fulfill your unfulfilled wish.

Thinking of this, she smiled, raised her hand and patted the top of Chris' fluffy hair lightly, as a response to his words.

"Su, don't worry, everything will be fine, you deserve better." 
Su Jiarui paused, and for a moment, his eyes felt a little hot because of Chris's words.

Everything will be fine, she deserves better?
But the black cloud that is entrenched over Yuncheng now still has no trace of dispelling.

"Thank you Chris, you too."

Su Jiarui smiled wearily, and was about to leave when the other party held his hand again.

"Su, do you want to have some wine together? As a celebration of my recovery?"

For the first time, Chris looked at her with almost sincere eyes, making her speechless for a while.

In a way, she is indeed in the same category as Chris.

Chris lost his family prematurely, and she, the only family left, saw herself as a street rat.

So they're all alone, and they all need something to talk about.

Originally, she should have refused, but under the current situation, she smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

Chris is a man who knows how to enjoy life very well. When he can enjoy life to the fullest, he has never been stingy, but this may also have something to do with his previous career.

He used to be a person without tomorrow, so he has always cherished the present time for the future with too much uncertainty.

Chris went to the wine cabinet and was busy selecting the so-called good wine in his mouth. She happened to come to the French window to enjoy the scenery.

This is the busiest time of day in Yuncheng.

Students in twos and threes gathered together to discuss what to eat for lunch, their faces full of youthful looks.The streets are full of office workers who are in a hurry to make ends meet, and various buses carry a compartment full of passengers to different destinations.

Yuncheng is a city that countless people yearn for, so many people can't wait to use all their energy just to gain a firm foothold in Yuncheng.

At night in Yuncheng, neon lights are everywhere, but in the daytime of Yuncheng, there is only the reality of hurrying.

Su Jiarui looked up, only seeing the gloomy sky, just like her gloomy heart at this moment.

It's like immersing your whole heart in icy water, the cold is nothing, the most important thing is the helpless suffocation.

She has wondered more than once, if she hadn't gone to the balcony to look at Chen Cheng because of taking a break, would she be the same group of idle, hurried but contented pedestrians now.

It's not the self who is standing on a high place now, but feels uneasy as if he will fall down at any time.

"Try it, I specially chose the year you were born in."

Chris smiled and handed over a glass of red wine. Even the layman Su Jiarui could tell that the red wine in front of him was definitely a good one.

She took it with a smile, and the sound of clinking glasses was extremely clear, and the red wine flowed into her throat.

The slightly bitter taste unexpectedly makes people feel comfortable.

"How do you know my year of birth?"

But as soon as she said this, she regretted it a little.

"Have you forgotten? I used to be the supernatural killer K. Before carrying out an assassination plan, knowing your target is the most basic professionalism."

Chris smiled calmly, but Su Jiarui seemed to taste the bitterness in his eyes through the alcohol.

Just like the red wine in this glass, although the aroma of the wine is overflowing and the color is transparent, it still can't hide the trace of bitterness in the mouth.

So, Su Jiarui raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then she poured another glass of wine and raised her glass to Chris.

"It seems that my life is not full of misfortunes. Thank you Sun Tiantian for giving me the opportunity to meet you as a friend."

Chris was noncommittal to what she said, but instead of clinking glasses with her as she had imagined, he spared the hand holding the wine glass and passed it through her hand, shortening the distance between the two of them in an instant.

He actually chose the posture of handing over glasses of wine!
Chris's flawless handsome face was magnified in front of his eyes, even Su Jiarui, who had seen it many times, felt a little flustered.

"Su, respect the friendship between us."

Chris blinked playfully, deliberately emphasizing the last two words.He was the first to drink the wine in the glass in this awkward posture. Although Su Jiarui was somewhat embarrassed, he just regarded it as the surprise of Chinese and foreign cultures, so he drank the wine in the glass in this posture.

"Chris, in fact, many times, I envy you very much. I always feel that you live a carefree and unrestrained life. I don't think most people in Yuncheng can do this, including me."

From before to now, Su Jiarui feels like a bird bound by a cage, seeing the vast world through the cage, but still unable to fly freely, and the world that the eyes can see, for such a self , is undoubtedly a kind of torture.

"Su, in fact, you can do it too. It's just that people like you are used to living within the boundaries you set for yourself. You have never experienced real fear, you have never experienced real poverty, but you are always afraid of losing Everything in my own hands."

"Actually, if you let go earlier, you will find that those things you hold tightly in your hands may not be particularly important."

When he said this, Chris had a rare complicated look in his eyes. He tilted his head, as if he was remembering, and said calmly, "Su, have you ever lived in a slum?"

Su Jiarui paused slightly and shook his head.

To be honest, although the small town she lived in before was not considered rich, the people living there were satisfied with the status quo, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment to some extent. In her eyes, the so-called slums were just flashes from the TV. It's just a past picture.

But just the picture, she understands what the slums mean.

Dirty, messy, poor, not the most important thing, the most important thing is the despair like tarsus maggots.

"I hope you will never have a life like that, where you may not see the light all year round. I don't mean it in a symbolic sense, but in a real sense. You can't see a shred of sunshine, and the light that wakes you up every day It's not birdsong, it's uncontrollable hunger, it's a force that can drive people crazy, you know? I've seen it with my own eyes. There's an old saying here, it's called the tiger's poison does not eat its son , but tigers can’t, but crocodiles can.”

Having said that, he smiled coldly, and gently put the wine glass in his hand on the table, but the movement of his hand paused for an instant.As if seeing something interesting suddenly, Chris' eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and he actually showed a beautiful smile.

"At that time, I thought, as long as it can feed me and my sister, then I am willing to do anything."

As he spoke, he approached Su Jiarui very ambiguously. Before she could react, the breath of sage and sea salt had completely enveloped her.

Chris put his hand lightly on her shoulders and turned her back to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The tall figure bent slightly, looked at her with both eyes, tilted her head playfully, and smiled.

"Su, to put it bluntly, people are nothing more than advanced animals. In the eyes of animals, only when more and more competitors appear will they make a difference in order to protect their territory and develop a sense of crisis. .”
