Chapter 42: I Guard You

He's not going to find her, is he?

Lin Xi tightened the rolling pin in his hand, trying to calm himself.

Through the leaves, she could vaguely see the dark shadow, only a few steps away from her.

One step, one step...... Footsteps approached.

Lin Xi's heart had already reached his throat.

Suddenly, she felt a shadow loom over her, and she subconsciously swung her rolling pin and struck at the incoming person.

Resistance came from the other end of the staff, and the other took her attack.

"It's me."

The man spoke slowly, his deep voice hitting the bottom of her heart, causing ripples.

Lin Xi breathed a big sigh of relief, perhaps because she had been in a tense state for too long just now, her legs weakened and she fell.

But instead of falling to the ground, she fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ling Junyi hugged her and felt the trembling of her body.

She was really scared.

Although she has already died once, she died in frustration in her previous life, and now her state of mind is different.

She always felt that God gave her this chance to relive her life, so that she could avenge herself and her dead mother, so she especially cherished this opportunity.

Ling Junyi half-hugged Lin Xi and took her to the living room.

“…… Let me go! A man shouted.

He was being thrown to the ground by five flowers, his body was covered with scars, and Chen Lai saw that he was dishonest and kicked him twice.

His hat and mask were taken off, and Lin Xi could see his face clearly.

When he saw Lin Xi, he became even more emotional, and he was about to scold. Ling Junyi didn't know when to pick up his mask, crumpled it and gagged his mouth.

Sirens sounded outside.

Ling Junyi accompanied Lin Xi to sit on the sofa to rest, while Chen Lai went to report the situation to the police, and after the police told him a few words, he handcuffed the man and escorted him away.

Lin Xi finally relieved himself.

"Thank you......" she looked at Ling Junyi gratefully. It's good to have him......

Ling Junyi was silent, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her head, as if to soothe.

"Tonight, I'll stay here. It's not safe for you to be home alone, I'm watching over you. He whispered.

Lin Xi raised her head and met his bottomless eyes, his words echoed in her mind, inexplicably, giving her a sense of reassurance.

“…… Well, thank you. As soon as the words of refusal came to her mouth, she swallowed them back. She was really scared of what happened just now, so that's fine.

Chen Lai hugged Quanquan, who was sleeping, and Lin Xi led them to the guest room.

"The room is not big, please take a moment." Lin Xi said.

In fact, her villa is already luxurious in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to the luxurious manor of Ling Junyi's family, it is obviously pitiful.

"Hmm." Ling Junyi's expression didn't change much.

After settling down, Lin Xi saw that the time was not early, so he went back to his room to take a bath.

Just now, she was scared and sweated.

While taking a bath, she kept recalling what happened between herself and Ling Junyi. In fact, even she didn't know why she believed in him so much, and when she was in such a crisis just now, she asked him for help as soon as possible, and seemed to think that he would rush to save her immediately.

What's even stranger is that when he rubbed her head just now, a familiar feeling was spreading in her heart......
