She quickly took out a kitchen knife from the knife base, turned around and walked straight to the entrance.

Due to a power outage, the monitor could not display images of people outside the door.

She stood in front of the door, trying to peek through the cat's eye, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Knock knock. The abrupt knock continued.

Zhuang Yiman only felt that her heartbeat kept accelerating, she held the kitchen knife tightly, and took a few deep breaths before she mustered up the courage to ask the person outside the door: "Who is it?" ”

The knocking finally stopped, and then a low, magnetic voice came into her ears through the heavy door: "Eman, it's me." ”

When he heard the familiar voice, Zhuang Yiman felt a sense of relief, and the tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment.

She unlocked the door and turned the knob to open it.

She held a flashlight and pointed it at Xiao Jinxuan.

The sudden light made Xiao Jinxuan subconsciously close his eyes, and after a few seconds of pause, he opened his eyelids little by little, adapting to the light.

Zhuang Yiman adjusted the direction of the flashlight to avoid the light shining directly into his eyes.

Xiao Jinxuan opened his eyelids completely, however, his attention was suddenly frightened by the kitchen knife held in Zhuang Yiman's right hand.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the sharp kitchen knife seemed to reveal a compelling edge.

He asked, "What are you doing with a kitchen knife at night?" ”

"I thought it was an outlaw, so just in case." With that, she turned around and walked back indoors.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing, he followed her into the house, and did not forget to lock the door after closing it.

Without waiting for him to speak, he heard Zhuang Yiman ask, "What are you doing this big night?" ”

"It's a thunderstorm tonight, and I'm worried that you're scared alone, so I'll come and see you."

Zhuang Yiman glanced sideways at Xiao Jinxuan beside him, with a shallow smile on his handsome face, and the pair of delicate phoenix eyes were as warm as jade, flowing with reassuring power.

Retracting her gaze, she asked, "Why don't you make a call?" ”

"The phone is dead."

Zhuang Yiman walked into the kitchen and put the kitchen knife back into the knife holder.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly fell into Xiao Jinxuan's arms.

Xiao Jinxuan gently hugged her in his arms and whispered, "Is there no electricity in the community?" When I came here just now, I saw that the whole neighborhood was dark. I've been ringing the doorbell at your door for so long, and I'm worried that something has happened to you. ”

Zhuang Yiman's side face was pressed against Xiao Jinxuan's chest, and he felt his steady and powerful heartbeat through his shirt.

She replied helplessly: "When I came back in the afternoon, I heard from the aunts in the community that there were two burglaries in the community this month, and both of them targeted women who lived alone. So, I thought you were an outlaw and didn't open the door for you. ”

Xiao Jinxuan finally understood at this time, why Zhuang Yiman was obviously at home, but he waited for a long time to open the door for himself.

He said in a worried tone: "That's quite dangerous, and the old community is estimated to have an imperfect security system." ”

After a pause, he continued to speak: "Why don't you move back in?" ”

"Nope."

Xiao Jinxuan asked her funny: "Am I more terrible than the outlaws?" So much so that you'd rather risk being targeted than live with me. ”

Zhuang Yiman heard the childish complaint in his tone, and laughed for a while.

She replied, "Well, it's indeed more terrible than the outlaws. ”

Because the only thing the criminals can steal is what is outside of her body, and he ...... But he can easily steal her heart.
