Translator: Pluto Editor: Tehrn

What was the difference between the tes went as usual, no one would probably feel it

However, tonight was vastly different The sun had long been set, but the teradually with each passing minute And to make matters worse, it had been days since there was even a little wind The surrounding air outside the as no longer just air, but suffocating, scalding hot air which aiting to rush towards you

As if soiven an order, the small number of families in the city who, for various reasons did not switch on their air conditioner, had also switched them on Whereas, the people without air conditioners sier Pubs, 24-hour convenience stores, offices Wherever there was a trace of cool air, they would go

After 30 hts in the 38th-floor aparted into an absolute darkness — the constant soft buzzing sound in the bedrooly stopped at so had stopped

After the air conditioner had stopped, Lin Sanjiu tossed frustratingly whilst asleep Without the maintained temperature of a comfortable 26°C, her body was quickly covered in a layer of sweat This layer of sas like an unbreathable blanket, and before long she woke up due to the heat

“Ughh the reht flashed passed her hazy mind As she was about to stretch out her hand to reach for it, she suddenly felt that so her hand After rehtly and peeked upward

A snohite face hung directly above her own face, two black, cavernous eyes stared straight at her

“Again! It's that again!” A loud screech exploded in Lin Sanjiu’s mind, yet her throat was so dry she couldn't even make a sound Her heartbeat became faster and faster, louder and louder, and that white face leaned in with his ear to listen; with a swiftness, it came closer to Lin Sanjiu

Teeks before, she had once woken up in the ot up, she knocked that face At that time, she was so shocked that she yelped and scrahts Only to find that it was Ren Nan

She didn't knohen Ren Nan had sat beside her, with an expressionless face in the dark, how long he had been staring at her in thishe often sleepwalked

If it weren't for her doubts, she would have believed him At that moment, she forced down her fears and acted like she hadn't woken up She rubbed her eyes and asked casually, “Ren Nan, are you sleepwalking again?”

In the dark, a sain I didn't scare you, did I?” he spoke totally articulately

“ A a little…” Lin Sanjiu got out of the bed alave her a false impression that she could escape anytime, so she calmed down a little Only then did she felt the steamer-like temperature of the room “Why is it so hot? Did you switch off the air conditioner?”

Ren Nan didn't say a thing He pulled open the thick, heavy curtains, revealing the set of full-length s Norht scene of half the city through these s On this night, however, the city had lost its everlasting illuht was blocked by the clouds, leaving only a dead darkness

In the apartment with closed doors and closed s, it was so stuffy that it was even hard to breath

“The electrical load hout the city” There was still a cheerfulness in Ren Nan’s voice which showed his co past the end of the bed and headed to the door, step by step

Suddenly, the alar for hi roo and cleaning of this penthouse over these three months; in this pitch-black darkness, she still succeeded to reach the living roo to take a breath, with a “bash”, she stretched out her hand and sht up red There isn’t a backup power supply system in such an expensive condohts in the stairways; they couldn't care less for the lifts — even more so personal ones” The voice came from behind her; a voice which she had known for half a year Ren Nan was just as gentle, but as he enunciated his words, Lin Sanjiu heard a wetness in his tone As if… Ren Nan could not control the saliva secreting in his mouth

In the dark, the shadowy, blurry outline which represented Ren Nan crept towards her, finally stopping in the iddy Her sixth sense was right A sense of regret welled up in her heart, “What… what do you want to do?”
