Cinderella's fear

"I think my boyfriend seems to... want to kill me."

On Sunday, McDonald's was crowded with parents with children, and the children's screams and laughter could not be heard on the slide in the children's area. In such an environment, it is naturally difficult for Zhu Mei to take her friends seriously."Don't talk nonsense! Even if you two quarrel, don't talk so bad about them. The white and fat Zhu Meimei scolded with a smile. After a pause, she raised one eyebrow and asked with some hesitation, "...When you quarrel, don't you do it?"

Sitting opposite her is a girl in her twenties. She has beautiful facial features, but she is not a rare beauty in this bustling international city. The most eye-catching thing is her slightly raised big eyes. In the light-colored pupils, the amber luster reminds people of the cat that wakes up in the morning.Lin Sanjiu shook his head and did not continue to speak.

No wonder Zhu Mei didn't believe it - when she said such words, even she herself felt ridiculous. Maybe I haven't slept well these days, and I'm a little anxious...

Lin Sanjiu took two mouthfuls of coke, relaxed his expression, and said half-jokingly, "If one day, a policeman comes to ask you who I usually have a grudge against..."Go to you!" The joking in the friend's tone made the little doubt that was still floating between Zhu Meimei disappear in an instant. She waved her hand with a smile, "Seriously, you are still complaining! You say it yourself, what are the shortcomings of Ren Nan--"

Lin Sanjiu has heard the following words countless times; this time, it also blew from his ears like the wind, but did not listen to his heart at all. At this moment, her eyes suddenly swept outside the window, and the line of her chin suddenly tightened.She quickly lowered her head as if to cover it up and took a bite of the hamburger.

The moment I bit off the bread, the noisy door of McDonald's suddenly became quiet for a few seconds. As the light at the door darkened, a tall man walked in slowly. When several customers in line saw him, they unconsciously took two steps back and gave way to him.

The tailor-cut iron-gray shirt, with the iconic Armani waist-tight design, shows a steady texture from each texture. The elegant dark trousers, without a trace of unnecessary wrinkles, seem to have a special person to iron and take care of them anytime and anywhere - coupled with the rare nine-headed proportion and handsome appearance of Asians, Ren Nan looks like a top model who has just come down from a fashion blockbuster at any time.Walking in a McDonald's, it's no wonder that everyone turned their eyes away.

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

"Why did you come to eat this kind of fast food again?" He nodded and greeted Zhu Mei, and rubbed Lin Sanjiu's hair intimately and helplessly. Half of the Patek Philippe on her wrist disappeared from her black hair. I'm going to take you to the Japanese restaurant last time in the evening.

"I happened to be hungry when I passed by here, so..." Lin Sanjiu smiled reluctantly, avoided Ren Nan's eyes, lowered his head and picked up a French fries and put it in his mouth. The long hair slipped down her shoulders, covering her expression.——Zhu Mei is right. Ren Nan has no shortcomings.

He looks like a man who came out of an idol drama. After spending a few months with Lin Sanjiu, Ren Nan quickly conquered her best friends and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu as a party - no, not just decenor. His appearance, wealth and character are so perfect everywhere... He is just everything a woman can dream of.

Everyone said that her fate was too good.

At the beginning of this relationship, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe his good luck at all. At that time, every morning, she woke up with a smile and faced a new world brought to her by Ren Nan.Until... she became more and more unhappy.

...When did you start to feel wrong?

Suddenly, Zhu Mei's enthusiastic voice interrupted her thoughts. ...I've been drinking all day today, so I won't delay your private time! It just so happens that she just told me that she was a little tired. You go home--"

Lin Sanjiu was suddenly pulled back to reality.

In Ren Nan's gentle voice, there was always a decent smile: "Let's see you off. It's too hot recently."

Zhu Mei was childish and immediately smiled and said, "Yo, then I'm not welcome! It's hot enough today. I just walked for a while, and I was covered with sweat..." The clothes on her back are still wet.Anyway, he didn't have much appetite. Seeing that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up from kindness and walked out of McDonald's with his boyfriend and friend.

The street outside was roasted by the sun's moxibustion for an afternoon, and the three people were wrapped up. It's already October, but the heat has not subsided, and it still firmly dominates the city. The people who worked hard on the street in the heat wave, some were wearing umbrellas, and some were sweating profusely. Everyone looked uncomfortable - it was too hot, even in the midsummer, there was never been such a hot time!Zhu Mei was most afraid of heat. She had just walked two steps. She was already sweating all over and couldn't stop wiping her forehead. Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of his neck was also stuck to his skin. This unpleasant feeling made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't help asking, "Where is your car parked?"

Ren Nan raised her chin not far away, moistening her clean skin, and there was no wetness at all.

"It's right in front." After a pause, his posture was as elegant and calm as ever: "I've told you several times that it's too inconvenient without a car. Now that you have passed your driver's license, do you want to buy a car?"

Zhu Mei suddenly praised enviously, "Are you going to buy a car for Xiao Jiu? You are really rich and handsome... On my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear..."

Lin Sanjiu said a few words perfunctorily, and his mind was not in the car. Fortunately, Zhu Mei is a lively person. When she chirped to Ren Nan, Ren Nan didn't seem to notice her absent-mindedness.

...Three months ago, after countless requests from Ren Nan, Lin Sanjiu finally compromised sweetly and agreed to live with him.

She packed up her things, left the house, and moved into his penthouse in the city center. The friends and colleagues who visited her new home were all envious. As soon as they went out, they grabbed her and said, "Xiao Jiu, you have to catch such a good man!"

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

You have to talk to him about marriage early..."

The excited voices of friends seemed to echo in my ears. Lin Sanjiu's excitement and expectation at that time were several times higher than theirs - but after living together for a period of time, her IQ, which was once low because of falling in love, began to recover slowly.

She gradually noticed some details of her life.

Now, Lin Sanjiu can't say why--

She is a little afraid of Ren Nan.

Witnessing Zhu Mei gradually disappearing at the corner of the old-fashioned community, Ren Nan restarted the car, and the car silently integrated into the traffic. After about twenty minutes, the two arrived home.

Ren Nan's apartment is located in the most expensive area in the city. It was just built two years ago. Every inch of bricks and tiles represents a way of life that ordinary people dared not think of in the past. And now, she is almost getting used to her new life - if it weren't for the doubts in her heart getting darker day by day...

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

Sensing the elevator running, the soft light gradually turned on in the living room.

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

Ren Nan also came over with a gentle smile as usual: "Okay, whatever you buy is fine."

Everything you bought is good?

I don't know when, this kind of novel character-like sweet words made Lin Sanjiu feel very uncomfortable, and even made her a little embarrassed.

In life, do people really talk like this?

Without knowing how to answer at all, she hurriedly handed over the coke - as soon as he pulled the ring, the bubbles in the drink suddenly made a "sizzling" sound. Probably to make her happy, Ren Nan drank half a small can in one gulp.

Lin Sanjiu hid himself behind the open refrigerator door, tightened his body, stood up his ears, and did not dare to let go of a strange sound.

The room was quiet for half a minute.

Second after second passed, until Ren Nan smiled and broke the silence in the room: "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 inadvertently.

There is no response.

Drinking a can of freshly opened iced coke full of carbon dioxide into his stomach, Ren Nan didn't even mean to burp at all - like pouring into a pool of dark stagnant water.

"It's nothing. I just want to see if there are any snacks." She smiled reluctantly.

After living together for three months, she has never seen Ren Nan burp.

Not only hiccups - coughing, sneezing, farting, sweating... Although it is indecent, everyone can do it several times. Lin Sanjiu has never seen it on Ren Nan.

Come to think of it, she was not even sure whether she had 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's neck.

Goosebumps burst out on her back: "No, I'm too lazy to move... Besides, I want to go to bed early at night, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

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

Lin Sanjiu nodded in a panic.

Ren Nan's cooking skills, just like him, are so perfect that there is no choice. After his carefully prepared dinner, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room was also gradually setting. The sky darkened little by little, and finally turned into darkness and starlight.

"The continuous abnormal high temperature and drought around the world, it has been 104 days today..." After tidying up the tableware, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be very interested in the news and watched TV - she really didn't want to have any eye contact with Ren Nan. After successive deaths from high temperatures in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, there have also been deaths from heatstroke in China. Relevant experts remind..."

She felt that Ren Nan came over and sat down beside her. The sofa sank deeply.

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

Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel that Ren Nan was not watching TV. His eyes have been on his back - not the usual warmth, but a kind of nakedness -

It's like a snake looking at a frog.
