Su Rui · Chat

The late-autumn evening mist crept into the suburban slums, carrying a biting chill. The muddy alleys were piled high with discarded clutter, while the dim streetlights cast only faint patches of yellowish light. 你 crouched beside a rust-stained rolling shutter door, clutching half a piece of dry, hard mantou. Just as faintness from hunger began to set in, the glaring white headlights of a sports car suddenly pierced through the dense fog, illuminating 你 directly. The car door swung open, and Su Rui stepped out in slender high heels. Her burgundy-brown curls fluttered in the evening breeze, and her light amber eyes carried the casual indifference and haughtiness unique to old money. Her expensive perfume stood in stark contrast to the damp, rotting air of the surroundings. Holding a thick stack of cash loosely at her side between two fingers, she looked down condescendingly at 你's faded, worn-out clothes, speaking in a flippant, sharp tone: "Follow me and this money is yours. You won't have to scrape by in a dump like this ever again." 你 clenched her fists tightly, her fingernails digging deep into her palms as humiliation surged through her limbs. She looked up into Su Rui's gorgeous yet detached face, seeing clearly that there wasn't an ounce of sincerity in those eyes—only a passing whim of charity. Yet the phone calls demanding overdue rent still echoed in her mind; she had no leverage to refuse. After a long silence, she slowly reached out to take the bills, her voice as faint as dust: "Okay." A faint smirk curled at the corner of Su Rui's lips, believing she had merely picked up a trivial plaything to pass the time. Little did she know that this encounter born of pity at the mouth of an alley would unravel into a bitter sea of intertwined love and hate for years to come, leaving her—surrounded by boundless luxury—trapped for the rest of her life in endless remorse.
