Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1: Cinderella’s Fear
"I feel like my boyfriend... wants to kill me."
On Sunday, McDonald's 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 is naturally difficult for Zhu Mei, who is fair and fat, to take her friend's words seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense! Even if you two quarrel, don't speak so badly of others." Zhu Mei cursed with a smile. After a pause, she raised an eyebrow and asked hesitantly: "...When you quarrel, don't you do anything?"
The girl sitting opposite her was probably in her twenties, and although she had a pretty face, she was not a rare beauty in this bustling international city. But the most eye-catching thing is her pair of large, slightly upward eyes. The amber luster in the light-colored pupils makes people think 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. Probably because she hadn't slept well these past few days, she was a little anxious... Lin Sanjiu took two sips of Coca-Cola, and she didn't know what her mood was. She said half-jokingly: "If one day, the police come to question you, I will usually Who do you want to make enemies with..."
"Fuck you!" The teasing tone in her friend's tone made the doubts that were floating between Zhu Meimei's brows disappear in an instant. She waved her hand with a smile, "Seriously, you're getting an advantage and you're still complaining! You Tell 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.
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 fell silent for a few seconds. As the light at the door dimmed, a tall man walked in slowly. Several customers who were queuing unconsciously took two steps back to make 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 are no extra wrinkles, as if they are ironed and taken care of by someone anytime and anywhere. Coupled with the nine-head-to-body proportion and handsome appearance that are rare among Asians, Ren Nan looks like a top model who has just stepped out of a fashion blockbuster at any time - no wonder everyone turns their attention when walking in a McDonald's.
As he sat down, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of Davidoff's cold water.
"Why are you here to eat such 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 plan to take you to the Japanese restaurant last time tonight."
"I happened to be hungry when I passed by, so..." Lin Sanjiu forced a smile, avoided Ren Nan's eyes, lowered his head, picked up a French fries and put it in his mouth. Her long hair fell from her shoulders, obscuring her expression.
——It is almost unimaginable to say that there is anything wrong with Ren Nan.
After getting along with Lin Sanjiu for a few months, Ren Nan quickly conquered all her besties and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu as the client - no, not only demeanor. His appearance, wealth, personality, everything was so perfect... He was everything a woman could 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 woke up with a smile and faced a new world brought to her by Ren Nan.
...Since when did you start feeling something was wrong?
Suddenly Zhu Mei's passionate voice interrupted her thoughts. "...I've been drinking all day today, so I won't waste your private time! She just told me that she's a little tired, so you can go home -"
Lin Sanjiu was suddenly brought back to reality.
Ren Nan's gentle voice always contains a decent smile: "Let us see you off, it's 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 My clothes are still wet.
Anyway, he didn't have much appetite. Seeing that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up calmly and walked out of McDonald's with her boyfriend and her friend.
The heat wave that had been roasted by the sun all afternoon on the street outside suddenly enveloped the three people. It's obviously already October, but the scorching heat shows no sign of abating and still firmly dominates 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 midsummer it had never been this hot before!
Zhu Mei was most afraid of the heat. She had only taken two steps and she was already sweating all over, wiping her forehead constantly. Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of her neck was sticking to her skin. This unpleasant feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but ask: "Where is your car parked?"
Ren Nan raised his chin not far away. There was no moisture on his moist and clean skin: "It's right in front." After a pause, his posture was as elegant and calm as ever: "I've told you several times. I’m back. It’s inconvenient not to have a car. Now that you’ve passed the driver’s license test, do you want to buy a car?”
Zhu Mei immediately admired with envy: "Are you going to buy a car for Xiaojiu? You are indeed rich, rich and handsome... When I celebrated my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear..."
Lin Sanjiu muttered a few perfunctory words, not thinking about the car at all. Fortunately, Zhu Mei is a lively person. Even with her chattering to Ren Nan, Ren Nan didn't seem to notice her absence.
...My thoughts suddenly flashed back to three months ago. At that time, after Ren Nan's numerous requests, Lin Sanjiu finally gave in sweetly, packed up her belongings, 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 sooner..."
The excited voices of my friends still seem to echo in my ears. Lin Sanjiu's excitement and anticipation at that time were dozens of times greater than theirs - but after living together for a while, her IQ, which had been low due to falling in love, began 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. And now, she is almost getting used to her new life - if the doubts in her heart are not getting darker day by day...
The penthouse occupies the entire 38th floor. With the "ding" of the private elevator, the door opened and the two of them stepped into the living room.
Sensoring that the elevator was 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 nonchalantly - conscious of her own expression It should be impeccable.
Ren Nan also walked over, with the same gentle smile: "Okay, everything you bought is good."
I don’t know since when, Lin Sanjiu found this kind of sweet talk like a novel character very strange. Not knowing how to answer the call, she hurriedly handed over the Coke - as soon as he pulled the tab, the bubbles in the drink 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, 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.
When Ren Nan drank a freshly opened can of ice coke full of carbon dioxide, she didn't even have the slightest intention of burping - 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 on Ren Nan.
When she thought about it, she wasn't even sure she had 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. ~IndoMTL.com~ Then I'll cook it myself. , 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 the dinner he had carefully prepared, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room was gradually setting. The sky darkened little by little, and finally gave way to 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 I really don't want to have any eye contact with Ren Nan. "Following the high temperature deaths in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, the number of deaths from heat stroke in our country has reached 67. Relevant experts remind..."
She felt Ren Nan coming over and sat 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 his back - not the usual tender gaze, but a naked one -
A look like a snake looking at a frog.
