Chapter 369 Fear
Chapter 369 Fear
Her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she suddenly thought of some ominous guess.
The whole person was suddenly surrounded by an ominous premonition.
The footsteps suddenly moved away from her, seemed to be heading towards her room, and then stopped.
He Miao stood quietly behind the bathroom door, not daring to say a word.
The footsteps soon began again and were getting closer.
Although he couldn't see anyone, He Miao was very sure that someone was standing at the bathroom door.
He Miao's heart suddenly rose to her throat, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
He Miao held the mobile phone in one hand and picked up the hair dryer beside him with the other hand, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
At this moment, the door handle suddenly turned frantically, faster than when she tried to open it before.
He Miao subconsciously turned on the shower.
Then he started singing loudly.
The other party seemed to be startled as well, and the sound of turning the doorknob stopped.
But He Miao knew that the man had not left yet.
She hummed a few lines and suddenly answered the phone.
"What did you say, dear? You're downstairs?"
"Ah... OK, OK, then please come up quickly. I'm starving."
She pretended to hang up the phone and then listened carefully to the noise outside the door.
The footsteps suddenly left.
Then, with a "click!", the door was closed again.
He Miao felt a little relieved.
She immediately contacted Xu Mobai, opened the chat box and was about to type, but suddenly changed to a phone call.
"What seed?"
When He Miao heard the voice on the other end of the phone, tears suddenly came to her eyes.
The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them for a long time.
"He Miao? What's wrong?"
Xu Mobai was still very patient, and his voice was so gentle that He Miao was immediately
As if he realized that something was wrong with her, Xu Mobai became a little anxious.
"What happened?"
"Xu Mobai, can you come over and open the door for me?"
He Miao spoke in a crying voice and incoherently.
"Don't be anxious. Take your time. Where are you now? Are you alone? What happened?"
"I'm locked in."
"I'm in Shangjing City now."
Hearing this, Xu Mobai seemed stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Send me the address, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
The two of them kept talking on the phone, and she felt a lot more at ease listening to the various voices coming from the other end of the phone.
About half an hour later, a familiar voice was heard outside the door.
"Miao Miao?"
"Xu Mobai!"
He Miao was trying to hold back her tears just now, but now she couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
Xu Mobai found tools and took the lock off directly.
He came in as soon as the door opened.
Seeing her left foot raised, not daring to touch the ground at all, he looked worried, "What's wrong with your foot?"
"It seems to be twisted."
He Miao sat on the chair in the bathroom, not daring to move his left foot.
Xu Mobai carried her back to the room and went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some medicine.
"How is it? Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
He asked as he applied medicine to her.
"It's okay, just apply some medicine."
He Miao said in a muffled voice while lying on the bed.
She stared at him blankly, but her heart was surging like a stormy sea.
She never expected to meet Xu Mobai in such a situation.
I originally thought that I would wait until my internship was stable and then visit him on weekends...
He didn't ask her why she suddenly came to the capital, nor did he ask why she didn't tell him...
Seeing him lowering his brows and gently massaging her feet and applying medicine, He Miao took the initiative to explain.
"Xu Mobai, I......"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Have a good rest today."
Hearing this, her fingers gripping the quilt suddenly tightened the fabric, and her heart sank as she spoke.
Seeing Xu Mobai stand up, He Miao thought he was going to leave, and subconsciously grabbed him, "Then you..."
"Don't worry, I won't go back tonight."
He placed the medicine bottle on the table beside him and then covered her with the quilt.
Hearing him say this, her fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down.
She looked at him eagerly, as if she was afraid that he would leave, or perhaps worried that he was angry.
As soon as she saw him return to the room, she immediately apologized, "Xu Mobai, I'm sorry, I..."
"Don't worry, I'm not angry."
He lowered his head and touched her forehead with his, "I'm going to take a shower first, can you wait for me and not go to sleep yet?"
"Okay, you can take as long as you want to take a shower. I'll wait for you."
Xu Mobai seemed to have provided her with a step, and He Miao quickly came down the steps.
The bathroom is small, but clean enough.
The shampoo and shower gel are the types that He Miao usually likes.
After taking a shower, Xu Mobai did not return to his room immediately. Instead, he took a quick look around the place where He Miao lived.
The originally small space was divided into smaller spaces.
There is a sofa and a table in the living room, and there is also a cooking area on the side.
There was also a small pot on top, and it looked like she had tried to cook for herself.
He looked over and saw that it was all instant noodles.
The trash can below is also filled with bags of various fast food.
He had just seen a metal baseball bat for self-defense beside the bed.
It’s simple, but it’s proof of the girl’s hard work.
Xu Mobai returned to the room. The room was very small and could only accommodate a bed and a table.
The bed was also small. When she saw him coming, He Miao consciously rolled to the innermost part of the bed to make some space for him.
He lay down next to her. The bed was really small and not very long. He couldn't even stretch his legs straight.
"Xu Mobai."
He Miao shouted his name in a low voice, and came over and hugged his waist.
Seeing the girl he had been thinking about right in front of him, Xu Mobai's heart suddenly softened.
He leaned sideways and hugged her gently, "Now that I'm here, you can sleep peacefully."
Familiar voice, familiar face, all He Miao's previous uneasiness and fear were swept away, and now his heart was full of peace.
No more waking up in the middle of the night to see if anyone is knocking on your door, no more blocking the door with a chair and putting a cup on it as an alarm...
Today, I can finally sleep well.
People tend to feel sleepy when they relax, and He Miao fell asleep hugging Xu Mobai tightly.
Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Xu Mobai felt complicated.
He didn't want to interfere in her life or dictate her plans.
But she did everything by herself and didn't tell him...
To be honest, he still felt very sad.
The next morning, He Miao suddenly opened his eyes and found no one around him.
She almost thought that Xu Mobai's arrival yesterday was just like the many dreams she had had before.
"Xu Mobai?"
"woke up?"
"I thought you went back."
"I did go back and brought back breakfast."
Looking at all the big and small things, He Miao was stunned.
Xu Mobai brought a lot of things with him, including some of his clothes and food and drinks.
His clothes are hung by the window and his shoes are placed at the door...
"Your foot isn't healed yet, let me stay here for a few days."
As he spoke, he raised the things in his hand and said, "Can I use three meals a day as rent?"
He Miao walked over to hug him and said, "Then I want to order some food."
He Miao told Xu Mobai everything that had happened in the past few days.
After listening to this, Xu Mobai felt a little worried, "You should go to my place."
"No, my lease period hasn't expired yet, and this place is close to my company."
During these three months, she basically moved around the company.
"My internship period is three months..."
"Then I'll live here with you for the time being."
