Chapter 1 Cinderella's Fear

"I feel like my boyfriend... wants to kill me."

McDonald's on Sunday was crowded with parents with their children, and the children's screams and laughter could not be heard from the slides in the children's area. In such an environment, it was naturally difficult for Zhu Mei, who was fair and chubby, to put her friend's words into words.

really.

"Stop talking nonsense! Even if you two quarrel, don't speak so badly of others." Zhu Mei cursed in a funny way. After a pause, she raised an eyebrow and asked hesitantly: "...you guys

When you have a quarrel, don't do anything, right?"

The girl sitting opposite her is probably in her twenties. Although she has a pretty face, she is not a rare beauty in this bustling international city. She is just the most attractive.

What caught people's attention was her pair of big, slightly upward eyes. The amber luster in her pale pupils reminded people of expensive cats.

Lin Sanjiu shook her head and did not continue. No wonder Zhu Mei didn't believe it - as soon as she said this, even she felt a little ridiculous. Maybe it was because she hadn't slept well these past few days and was a little anxious... Lin San

She took two sips of Coca-Cola, but she didn't know what her mood was. She said half-jokingly: "If one day, a policeman comes and asks you who I usually have enemies with..."

"Fuck you!" The teasing tone in her friend's tone made the doubts that were floating between Zhu Mei's brows disappear in an instant. She waved her hand with a smile, "Seriously, you are complaining after you got an advantage! You said it yourself,

What shortcomings does Ren Nan have——"

The last half of the sentence blew past her like a gust of wind, and nothing reached Lin Sanjiu's ears. Her cat-like eyes glanced outside the window, and the line of her jaw tightened imperceptibly.

Already.

She lowered her head as if to cover up and took a bite of the burger.

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

, making way for him.

The tailor-made iron gray shirt has the iconic Armani waist design, and every detail reveals a stable texture. The straight dark trousers are so elegant that there is no extra wrinkle, and they seem to be worn anytime and anywhere.

Personally ironed and well-groomed. Coupled with the rare nine-headed body proportions and handsome appearance of Asians, Ren Nan looks like a top model who just stepped out of a fashion blockbuster at any time - walking in a McDonald's,

No wonder everyone turned their attention.

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

"Why are you here to eat this kind of fast food again?" He nodded to Zhu Mei and said hello, and rubbed Lin Sanjiu's hair affectionately and helplessly. The Patek Philippe on his wrist was half hidden in her black hair. "I

I also plan to take you to the Japanese restaurant last time tonight."

"I happened to be hungry when I passed by here, so..." Lin Sanjiu forced a smile, avoided Ren Nan's gaze, lowered her head, picked up a French fries and put it into her mouth. Her long hair fell down from her shoulders,

Covering her expression.

——It is almost unimaginable to say that there is anything wrong with Ren Nan.

After spending a few months with Lin Sanjiu, Ren Nan quickly conquered all her besties and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu, the client - no, it was not just his demeanor. He

His appearance, wealth, personality, everything is so perfect... He is simply everything a woman can dream of.

Everyone said her life was too good.

When this relationship first started, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe her good luck. At that time, every morning, she would wake up with a smile and face a brand new world brought to her by Ren Nan.

…Since when did you start feeling something was wrong?

Suddenly, Zhu Mei's enthusiastic voice interrupted her thoughts. "...I have been drinking wine all day today, so I won't waste your private time! She just told me that she was a little tired,

You guys go home—"

Lin Sanjiu was suddenly brought back to reality.

Ren Nan's gentle voice always contained a decent smile: "Let us see you off. It's been too hot recently."

Zhu Mei was a child at heart and immediately said with a smile: "Hey, you're welcome! It's hot enough today. I just walked for a while and I was covered in sweat..." The clothes on her back were still on

It's still wet.

Anyway, he didn't have much appetite. Seeing that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up calmly, followed her boyfriend and her friend to stand up, and walked out of McDonald's.

The heat wave that had been roasted by the sun all afternoon on the street outside suddenly enveloped the three people. It was obviously October, but the scorching heat showed no sign of abating and still firmly ruled this international city.

Some of the people coming and going on the street were holding umbrellas, some were sweating profusely, and everyone had a grimace on their faces - it was really too hot, even in the middle of summer it had never been so hot!

Zhu Mei was most afraid of heat. She had only taken two steps when she was already covered in sweat and kept wiping her forehead. Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of her neck was sticking to her skin - this unpleasant feeling

The feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but ask: "Where is your car parked?"

Ren Nan raised his chin towards a nearby place. There was not even a trace of moisture on his moist and clean skin: "Right in front." After a pause, his posture was as elegant and calm as ever: "I've told you several times,

Not having a car is too inconvenient. Now that your driver’s license has been passed, do you want to buy a car?”

Zhu Mei immediately admired with envy: "You plan to give me a small wine cart? You are indeed rich and handsome... When I celebrated my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear..."

Lin Sanjiu mumbled a few perfunctory words, her mind not on the car at all. Fortunately, Zhu Mei was a lively person, and even with her chattering to Ren Nan, Ren Nan didn't seem to notice her absence.

...About three months ago, after Ren Nan's countless requests, Lin Sanjiu finally gave in sweetly, packed up his things, vacated the house, and moved into his penthouse apartment in the city center.

The friends and colleagues who visited her new home were all extremely envious. As soon as she left the house, they grabbed her and kept saying, "Xiaojiu, you have to catch such a good man!"

"Does Ren Nan have brothers? Does Ren Nan have any single friends? Don't forget to introduce one to me!"

"You have to talk to him about marriage as soon as possible..."

The excited voices of her friends seemed to still echo in her ears. The excitement and anticipation in Lin Sanjiu's heart at that time were dozens of times that of her friends - but after living together for a while, her IQ was once low due to falling in love.

Started to slowly recover.

She gradually noticed some details in life.

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

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

Ren Nan's apartment is located in the most expensive area of ​​​​the city. It was just built two years ago. Every inch of bricks and tiles represents a lifestyle that ordinary people like Lin Sanjiu never dared to imagine. But now, she is almost there.

I'm getting used to my new life - if the doubts in my heart weren't getting darker day by day...

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

Sensing the elevator running, soft lights gradually lit up in the living room.

"I bought some Coke today, would you like a can?" Putting down her bag, Lin Sanjiu walked to the kitchen, suppressing her heartbeat, and smiled at Ren Nan as if nothing had happened - she felt that her expression should be impeccable.

of.

Ren Nan also walked over, with the same gentle smile: "Okay, everything you bought is good."

I don't know when, this kind of sweet talk like a novel character made Lin Sanjiu feel weird. Not knowing how to answer the call, she hurriedly handed over the Coke - when he pulled the tab, the bubbles in the drink

She immediately made a "sizzling" sound. Probably to make her happy, Ren Nan drank half the can in one breath.

Lin Sanjiu hid herself behind the opened refrigerator door, tensed her body, and raised her ears, not daring to miss the slightest sound.

The room was quiet for half a minute.

Second after second 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 into her stomach. She closed the door and looked at Ren Nan pretending to be casual.

no response.

Ren Nan didn't even have the slightest intention of burping when she drank a can of iced Coke that had just been opened and was full of carbon dioxide - it was like pouring into a pool of dark, stagnant water.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see if there were any snacks." She forced a smile.

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

It's not just burping - coughing, sneezing, farting, sweating... all kinds of things that although indecent, everyone does it several times, Lin Sanjiu has never seen it in Ren Nan.

Come to think of it, she wasn't even sure she'd ever seen him go to the bathroom.

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

Goosebumps suddenly broke out on her back.

: "No, I'm too lazy to move... Besides, I want to go to bed early tonight, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Then I will cook myself and make salmon for you." Ren Nan said with a smile.

Lin Sanjiu nodded hurriedly.

Ren Nan's cooking skills, just like him, are impeccable. After eating the dinner he carefully prepared, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room is gradually setting. The sky is getting darker little by little, and finally

Replaced by night and starlight.

"Today is the 104th day of continuous abnormally high temperatures around the world..." After putting away the tableware, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be interested in the news and watched TV - she really didn't want to

Have any eye contact with Ren Nan. "After the high temperature deaths in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, the number of people who died of heat stroke in our country has reached 67. Relevant experts remind..."

She felt Ren Nan come over and sit down next to her. The sofa sank deeply.

An arm naturally hugged her shoulders, and Lin Sanjiu stiffened.

Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel that what Ren Nan was watching was not TV. His gaze stayed on her back - not the usual tender gaze, but a naked one -

A look like a snake looking at a frog.
