Chapter 1: Cinderella's Fear

"I think my boyfriend seems to be ...... You want to kill me. ”

McDonald's on Sundays was packed with parents with children, and the slides in the children's area were filled with the screaming and laughter of children. In such an environment, it is naturally difficult for the white and chubby Zhu Mei to take her friend's words seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense! Even if you two quarrel, don't speak so badly of others. Zhu Meimei scolded with a smile. After a pause, she raised an eyebrow and asked with some hesitation, "...... When you quarrel, don't do it, right? ”

The girl sitting across from her, probably in her twenties, had a delicate face, but in this bustling international city, she was not a rare beauty. It's just that the most striking thing is her big eyes that are slightly raised, and the amber luster in the pale pupils is reminiscent of a precious cat.

Lin Sanjiu shook his head and did not continue. No wonder Zhu Mei didn't believe it—even she thought it was a little ridiculous when she said it. Probably because I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I'm a little anxious...... Lin San took two sips of Coke, and she didn't know what mood she was in, she said half-jokingly: "If one day, a police officer comes to ask you who I usually have a grudge with......

"you!" The banter in her friend's tone made the little doubt that was still floating between Zhu Mei's eyebrows disappear in an instant, and she smiled and waved her hand, "Seriously, you are still complaining about getting cheap!" You said it yourself, what are the shortcomings of Ren Nan-"

The next half of the sentence blew from his side like a gust of wind, and he didn't hear Lin Sanjiu's ears at all. Her cat-like eyes swept out the window, and the lines of her jaw tensed imperceptibly.

She lowered her head as if in disguise and took a bite of the burger.

At this moment, the noisy McDonald's door suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. As the light at the door dimmed, a tall man walked in unhurriedly, and several customers who were queuing unconsciously took two steps back to make way for him.

A tailored iron-grey shirt with the iconic Armani cinched waist gives it a sedate feel in every strand of the line. The crisp dark trousers are so elegant that there is no extra wrinkle, as if someone will iron and take care of them anytime and anywhere. Coupled with the rare nine-headed body proportions and handsome appearance of Asians, Ren Nan looks like a top model who has just walked down from a fashion blockbuster at any time of the year - walking in a McDonald's, it is no wonder that everyone is looking sideways.

As he sat down, the air was filled with a faint scent of Davidoff's cold water.

"Why are you eating this fast food again?" He nodded to Zhu Mei in greeting, and rubbed Lin Sanjiu's hair affectionately and helplessly, half of the Patek Philippe on her wrist was hidden in her black hair. "I'm going to take you to the same Japanese restaurant last time in the evening."

"I happened to be hungry when I passed by here, so I ......" Lin Sanjiu smiled reluctantly, avoiding Ren Nan's gaze, and lowered his head to pick up a piece of French fries and put it in his mouth. Long hair slid down her shoulders, obscuring her look.

――To say that there is anything wrong with Ren Nan, it is almost unimaginable.

After getting along with Lin Sanjiu for a few months, Ren Nan quickly conquered her friends and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu's party - no, not just demeanor. His looks, his wealth, his character, everything was perfect...... He is simply a qiē that a woman can dream of.

Everybody said her life was too good.

When he first started this relationship, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe his good luck at all. At that time, every morning, she woke up with a smile on her face and faced a new world brought to her by Ren Nan.

…… When did you start to feel wrong?

Suddenly, Zhu Mei's enthusiastic voice interrupted her thoughts. “…… I've had a whole day of wine today, so I won't delay your private time! She just told me that she was a little tired, so you should go home-"

Lin Sanjiu was pulled back to reality at once.

Ren Nan's warm voice always had a decent smile: "Let's send you off, it's been too hot lately." ”

Zhu Mei was childlike, and immediately smiled and said, "Yo, then I'm welcome!" It's hot enough today, and I'm covered in sweat after walking for a while...... "The clothes on her back are still wet."

Anyway, he didn't have much appetite, and when he saw that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up with his boyfriend and his friends, and walked out of McDonald's.

The heat wave on the street outside that had been baked by the sun for an afternoon enveloped three people at once. It's already October, but the heat shows no signs of abating, and it still rules this international city. The people who came and went on the street, some with umbrellas, some sweating profusely, and everyone had a bitter look on their faces - it was so hot, even in the middle of summer!

Zhu Mei was most afraid of the heat, and she had only walked two steps, she was already sweating all over, and she kept wiping her forehead. Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of her neck was also sticking to her skin - this unpleasant feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help asking, "Where is your car parked?" ”

Ren Nan raised his chin not far away, and there was not even a little wetness on the moist and clean skin: "It's in front." After a pause, his posture was as elegant and calm as ever: "I've told you several times, it's too inconvenient to have no car." Now that you've got your driver's license, do you want to buy a car? ”

Zhu Mei suddenly admired enviously: "Are you going to send a small wine car?" You really deserve to be rich and handsome...... On my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear ......"

Lin Sanjiu said a perfunctory sentence, and his mind was not in the car. Fortunately, Zhu Mei is a lively person, and she chirps to talk to Ren Nan, and Ren Nan doesn't seem to notice her absent-mindedness.

…… About three months ago, under Ren Nan's countless requests, Lin Sanjiu finally sweetly compromised, packed up his things, quit the house, and moved into his penthouse in the city center. The friends and colleagues who visited her new home were all envious, and as soon as they went out, they grabbed her and said, "Xiaojiu, you have to catch such a good man!" ”

"Does Ren Nan have a brother? Have a single friend? Don't forget to introduce me to one! ”

"You'll have to talk to him about getting married sooner......"

The excited voices of my friends still echo in my ears. Lin Sanjiu's excitement and expectation at that time were dozens of times that of her friends - but after living together for a while, her once low IQ because of falling in love began to slowly recover.

She gradually noticed some details of her life.

Now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't say why—she was a little afraid of Ren Nan.

Seeing Zhu Mei gradually disappear around the corner of the old-fashioned community, Ren Nan restarted the car, and the car silently blended into the traffic. About twenty minutes later, the two arrived home.

Ren Nan's apartment is located in the most expensive area of the city, which was just built two years ago, and every inch of bricks and tiles represents a way of life that ordinary people like Lin Sanjiu did not dare to imagine before. And now, she was almost getting used to her new life—if it weren't for the suspicions in her heart that were getting darker by the day......

The penthouse occupies the entire 38th floor. With the "ding" of the private elevator, the door opened, and the two walked into the living room.

Sensing the operation of the elevator, the living room gradually lit up with soft lights.

"I bought some Coke today, would you like a can?" Putting down the bag, Lin Sanjiu walked to the kitchen, forcibly held back his heartbeat, and smiled at Ren Nan casually - he felt that his expression should be impeccable.

Ren Nan also walked over, with a gentle smile as usual: "Okay, everything you buy is good." ”

I don't know when it started, this kind of sweet words in the style of the characters in the novel made Lin Sanjiu feel very weird. Not knowing how to answer, she hurriedly handed over the Coke - as soon as he pulled the tab, the bubbles in the drink suddenly scrambled to make a "sizzle" sound. Probably to make her happy, Ren Nan drank a small half can in one go.

Lin Sanjiu hid himself behind the refrigerator door that he opened, tensed up, and erected his ears, not daring to let go of a strange sound.

There was silence in the room for half a minute.

Seconds and seconds passed, until Ren Nan broke the silence in the room with a smile: "What are you looking for in the refrigerator?" ”

Lin Sanjiu's heart sank straight into his stomach. She closed the door and looked at Ren Nan casually.

No response.

A freshly opened, carbon dioxide-filled iced Coke was drunk into his stomach, and Ren Nan didn't even have the slightest intention of burping—it was like pouring into a pool of black stagnant water.

"Nothing, I just want to see if there are any snacks." She smiled reluctantly.

After living together for three months, she had never seen Ren Nan hiccup.

It's not just hiccups—coughing, sneezing, farting, sweating...... Although all kinds of things are indecent, everyone will do a few things, and Lin Sanjiu has never seen it on Ren Nan's body.

Thinking about it, she wasn't even sure if she had ever seen him go to the bathroom.

"You didn't eat much just now, why don't we go out and eat tonight?" Ren Nan took her hands and kissed Lin Sanjiu's neck.

Goosebumps erupted on her back

"No, I'm too lazy to move...... Besides, I want to go to bed early at night, and I have to wake up early tomorrow. ”

"Then I'll cook the salmon for you." Ren Nan said with a smile.

Lin Sanjiu nodded hurriedly.

Ren Nan's cooking skills, just like him, are so perfect that they don't have to be picky. After eating the dinner he had carefully prepared, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room was gradually sinking in the west. The sky darkened little by little, and finally changed to night and starlight.

"The unusually high temperature continues to be on a global scale, and today is the one hundred and fourth day......" After putting away the dishes, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be very interested in the news and watched the TV - she really didn't want to make any eye contact with Ren Nan. After the death from high temperature in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, the number of people who died of heat stroke in China also reached 67. Relevant experts reminded ......"

She felt Ren Nan come over and sit down beside her. The couch sank deep.

An arm naturally wrapped around her shoulder, and Lin Sanjiu's body stiffened.

Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel that Ren Nan was not watching TV. His gaze remained on his back—not the usual warm gaze, but a nakedness—

It looks like a snake is looking at a frog.
