Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1 Cinderella's Fear
"I feel like my boyfriend... wants to kill me."

The McDonald's on Sunday was packed with parents with young children, screaming and laughing from the slides in the children's section.In such an environment, it was naturally difficult for Zhu Mei to take her friend's words seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense! Even if the two of you quarrel, don't speak so badly of others." Chubby Zhu Mei scolded with a smile.After a pause, she raised one eyebrow and asked hesitantly, "...When you quarrel, don't you do it?"

Sitting across from her was a girl in her twenties.She has beautiful facial features, but in this crowded international city, she is not a rare beauty.The most striking thing is her pair of slightly raised eyes, and the amber luster in the light-colored pupils reminds one of a cat waking up early in the morning.

Lin Sanjiu shook his head and did not continue.

No wonder Zhu Mei didn't believe it—she felt absurd when she said this.Probably because I haven't slept well in the past few days, and my spirit is a little anxious...

Lin Sanjiu took two sips of Coke, relaxed his expression, and said half-jokingly, "If one day, the police will come and ask you who I usually have enemies with..."

"Fuck you!" The joke in her friend's voice made the doubts floating between Zhu Meimei's eyebrows disappear in an instant, and she waved her hand with a smile, "Seriously, you are complaining about being cheap! You said it yourself, What's wrong with Ren Nan—"

Lin Sanjiu had heard the following words countless times; this time, it also blew past his ears like the wind, and he didn't hear it in his heart at all.At this moment, her eyes suddenly swept out of the window, and the line of her chin suddenly tightened.

She hurriedly lowered her head and took a bite of the burger.

The moment he bit the bread, 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. When a few customers in the queue saw him, they unconsciously took two steps back and made way for him.

Tailored iron-grey shirt with the iconic Armani waist design, revealing a steady texture from every line.Straight and elegant dark trousers, without any extra folds, seems to be ironed and taken care of by someone anytime, anywhere - plus the nine-headed body proportion and handsome appearance that are rare among Asians, no matter what time, Ren Nan looks at them. She looks like a top model from a fashion blockbuster.

Walking in a McDonald's, it's no wonder that everyone is looking at him.

As he sat down, the air was soaked with a faint scent of cold water from Davidoff.

"Why did you come to eat this kind of fast food again?" He greeted Zhu Mei with a nod and rubbed Lin Sanjiu's hair affectionately and helplessly. The Patek Philippe on her wrist was half hidden in her black hair. "I plan to take you to that Japanese restaurant last time tonight."

"I happened to be hungry when I passed by here, so..." Lin Sanjiu smiled reluctantly, avoiding Ren Nan's gaze, and lowered his head to pick up a french fries and put it in his mouth.Long hair slipped from her shoulders, covering her face.

——Zhu Mei is right, Ren Nan has no flaws.

He looks like a man who came out of an idol drama.After getting along with Lin Sanjiu for a few months, Ren Nan quickly conquered her best friends and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu's party - no, it's not just demeanor.His looks, wealth, character, everything was so perfect... He was everything a woman could dream of.

Everyone said her life 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 whole new world brought to her by Ren Nan.

Until... she became less and less happy.

...Since when did it start to feel wrong?
Suddenly, Zhu Mei's enthusiastic voice interrupted her thoughts. "...I took up the small wine all day today, so I won't delay your private time! It just so happened that she told me just now that she was a little tired, you should go home-"

Lin Sanjiu was pulled back to reality.

In Ren Nan's warm voice, there is always a decent smile: "Let's send you off, it's too hot recently."

Zhu Mei has a childlike temperament, and immediately said with a smile: "Yo, then I'm welcome! It's hot enough today, I just walked for a while, and I'm covered in sweat..." The clothes on her back are now Still wet.

Anyway, he didn't have any appetite. Seeing that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up graciously and walked out of McDonald's with her boyfriend and friend.

The street outside was scorched by the heat of the sun for an afternoon, and the three people were wrapped in a whimper.It was obviously already October, but the sweltering heat showed no sign of abating, and it still ruled the city firmly.The people on the street who are working hard in the heat wave, some holding umbrellas, some sweating profusely.
Zhu Mei was most afraid of the heat, so she only took two steps, she was already sweating, and she kept wiping her forehead.Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of his neck was sticking to his skin.This unpleasant feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but ask: "Where is your car parked?"

Ren Nan raised his chin not far away, and there was not even a bit of wetness on the moist and clean skin.

"It's right in front." After a pause, his attitude was as elegant and calm as always: "I told you several times that it is inconvenient to not have a car. Now that your driver's license has been passed, do you want to buy a car? ?"

Zhu Mei immediately sighed with admiration: "Are you going to buy a car for Xiaojiu? You really deserve to be tall, rich and handsome... On my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear..."

Lin Sanjiu hummed a few words perfunctorily, not thinking about the car at all.Fortunately, Zhu Mei is a lively person, and when she chatted with Ren Nan, Ren Nan didn't seem to notice her absent-mindedness.

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

She packed up her things, quit the house, and moved into his downtown penthouse.The friends and colleagues who visited her new home were all envious of them. As soon as they went out, they grabbed her and said, "Xiaojiu, you must catch such a good man!"

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

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

The excited voices of the friends seemed to still reverberate in my ears.The excitement and anticipation in Lin Sanjiu's heart at that time were several times greater than theirs - but after living together for a period of time, her IQ, which was once low because of her relationship, began to slowly recover.

She gradually noticed some details in her life.

Now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't say why—

She was a little afraid of Ren Nan.

Watching Zhu Mei gradually disappear at the corner of the old-fashioned residential area, Ren Nan restarted the car, and the car blended into the traffic without a sound.About 10 minutes later, the two arrived home.

Ren Nan's apartment is located in the most expensive part of the city. It was just built two years ago. Every inch of bricks and tiles represent a way of life that ordinary people like Lin Sanjiu never dared to imagine.And now, she is almost getting used to her new life - if it wasn't for the doubts in her heart getting darker every day...

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

Sensing that the elevator was running, soft lights 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, restrained her heartbeat, and smiled at Ren Nan as if nothing had happened-she felt that her expression should be Unbeatable.

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

Anything you bought is good?
I don't know when it started, this kind of sweet talk like a novel character made Lin Sanjiu feel very uncomfortable, and even made her a little embarrassed.

Does anyone really talk like this in life?
Not knowing how to answer, she hurriedly handed the cola - as soon as he pulled the tab, the bubbles in the drink scrambled to make a "sizzling" sound.Probably to make her happy, Ren Nan drank a small half of the can in one breath.

Lin Sanjiu hid himself behind the opened refrigerator door, tightened his body, and erected his ears, not daring to let go of any abnormal noise.

The room was quiet for half a minute.

Second after second passed, until Ren Nan laughed 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 casually.

no response.

Ren Nan didn't even have the slightest intention to burp a can of ice Coke that had just been opened and was full of carbon dioxide - just like being poured into a pool of dark, stagnant water.

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

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

Not only hiccups—coughing, sneezing, farting, sweating... all kinds of things, although indecent, but everyone will do it a few times, Lin Sanjiu has never seen it on Ren Nan.

Thinking about it, she wasn't even sure she'd 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 broke 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 will cook and make salmon for you." Ren Nan said with a smile.

Lin Sanjiu nodded hastily.

Ren Nan's cooking skills, just like him, are too perfect to pick.After eating the dinner he carefully prepared, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room is gradually sinking.The sky darkened little by little, and finally changed to night and starlight.

"The continuous abnormal high temperature and drought around the world have been 1 days today..." After packing up the tableware, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be interested in the news and watched the TV - she really didn't want to Have any eye contact with Ren Nan. "After the high-temperature death incidents in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, heat stroke deaths have also occurred in my country. Relevant experts remind..."

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

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

Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel that Ren Nan was not watching TV.His gaze stayed on his back all the time - not the usual tenderness, but a kind of nakedness -

It looked like a snake was looking at a frog.
