"Honey, Ting Shen, where are you?" She called out cautiously, clenched the suit jacket in her hand, and swallowed.

"Boom—"

"Ah!" Lin Manman was startled by the thunder and sat on the ground, covering his ears tightly and closing his eyes tightly.

No more thunder, no more thunder!
Although he himself was not afraid of thunder, the original owner seemed to be very afraid of lightning and thunder, and his body collapsed involuntarily.

In the middle of the night, the lights of all houses were extinguished, including the Nie's house.

In the dark environment, Lin Manman kept fumbling for the light switch, but she was like a blind man feeling an elephant, no matter what she couldn't find where the light switch was.

"Ting Shen, where are you?" She said in a crying voice, with a splitting headache, but she still propped up her limp and tired body, and groped towards the door step by step.

Since I can't find the light switch, I should just leave here. Maybe the hall will be brighter than here.

Sniffing, Lin Manman walked towards the door step by step, and opened the door with his hand.

But the corridor was still as quiet as death. Lin Manman was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath, so he could only walk cautiously while leaning on the wall.

"Ting Shen? Where are you?" She whispered, tears welling in her eyes.

What to do, if he can't be found again, this body may really faint in this night of lightning and thunder.

Not wanting such a thing to happen, Lin Manman began to grope in the hall, hoping to find some news about Nie Tingshen.

The sound of "da da" leather shoes came over, Lin Manman was frightened, and hurriedly hid aside.

Is it Nie Tingshen?Or is it someone else?

She put her hands on her chest, and her beating heart seemed to break through the restraint of her chest, constantly rising and falling in her chest.

The sound of leather shoes walking in the distance became louder, Lin Manman swallowed, held his slippers in his hands, and waited carefully.

"Boom!"

Another muffled thunder, Lin Manman screamed in panic, but immediately covered his mouth.

Please, only now, don't cry out!

"Who?" Nie Tingshen's voice sounded, and stopped along with the sound of the leather shoes walking. Lin Manman was taken aback, and then threw the shoes aside.

She stood up unsteadily and rushed out.

"Where have you been?" She hugged Nie Tingshen's back, and the smell of tobacco came from Nie Tingshen's body: "I'm so scared."

"..." Nie Tingshen didn't say anything to the small figure that suddenly rushed over, but stretched out his hand and stroked her hair slowly.

"Afraid?"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" Lin Manman rubbed his clothes frantically and nodded: "I'm scared to death, can you accompany me? I know you are very busy, this request is capricious, but I beg you, please accompany me." Come with me?"

The hand holding Nie Tingshen tightened even more, for fear that he would disappear into her arms if she let go.

 After a long silence, Nie Ting said earnestly, "I still have a job."

"I don't mind!" She flinched: "I can stay by your side, I don't need to talk, I will accompany you very well, can you let me be by your side?"

"Just stay for a while. There's been thunder outside. I'm really scared." She lowered her voice a lot, for fear that Nie Tingshen would reject her.

The words of Mother Nie and Nie Qian suddenly came to mind. They urged Lin Manman to follow Lin Manman's wishes and never let her live unhappy.

Nie Ting, who originally planned to refuse, took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Unexpectedly agreeing to his request, Lin Manman grabbed his hand in surprise and refused to let go.

Nie Tingshen's hand was much bigger than Lin Manman's, and it was not as soft and warm as Lin Manman's, but rather cold.

But it was this somewhat cold hand that made Lin Manman feel an unprecedented sense of warmth.

so warm...

She smiled, and led by Nie Tingshen to the study.

I haven't been to the study room yet, where Nie Tingshen works at home.

The inside is like a small living room, with sofas and coffee tables, the only difference is the double-height bookshelves, surrounded by books, filled with books.

"Master Nie, Young Madam." The butler walked up to the two of them respectfully. Although his expression was very stiff when he saw Lin Manman's figure, he nodded with a smile: "I have already prepared the materials and books you are looking for. You have found it all, and now you can continue to work."

Lin Manman glanced at Nie Tingshen beside him, and cautiously let go of his hand.

Although he was a bit reluctant, he still let his heart rest.

After all, if you are too clingy, you will be hated!

"Go and do your work first, I just need to sit here and watch you do your work." Lin Manman smiled, and sat on the side obediently, not making a fuss at all.

With a blanket on her body, she curled up on the sofa like a child.

The light in the study was on, but it was only a dim yellow warm light, and it happened that he didn't need to wear a sleep mask, so he could sleep peacefully.

With Nie Tingshen watching over her, Lin Manman fell asleep very soundly, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that she was in a deep sleep, the housekeeper cautiously walked to Nie Tingshen's side and said, "Master Nie, do you want to take the young lady out?"

"No need." Nie Ting did not raise his head, and concentrated on processing the unprocessed documents at the meeting: "Let her sleep here."

The butler suspected that he had heard it wrong, but although he was old, his hearing didn't mean he couldn't.

He was even more surprised when he heard Nie Tingshen's words to let her sleep here just now.

It's weird, obviously Young Master Nie didn't like to have people around when he worked here before. Could it be that he's changed now?
Although he felt strange, the butler still took a few glances at Lin Manman who was sleeping soundly, then turned and left without saying anything.

After all, if you want to be a housekeeper in the Nie family, you must not talk too much, otherwise you will definitely be kicked out by Nie Tingshen at that time.

The torrential rain finally subsided a lot at two o'clock in the morning, but from time to time there would still be dull thunder, like wild beasts in the dark night, constantly disturbing the sleeping residents.

Lin Manman frowned, and shrunk his body a lot into the blanket, wishing he could be wrapped into a rice dumpling.

Nie Tingshen put the contract aside, got up and walked to Lin Manman.

Her fluttering eyelashes trembled in fear, her brows were tightly locked together, her small face was full of tension, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

It was just a thunderstorm. Is it so scary?
Nie Ting was deeply puzzled, and stretched out his hand to touch her tightly frowning brows. Seeing that her body moved uneasily, he immediately withdrew his hand.

It seemed that she was really tired.

Without going back to the bedroom, Nie Ting sat down all night, watching her worried, also didn't close his eyes all night.

Lin Manman slept until eight o'clock in the morning. After waking up, Nie Tingshen was nowhere to be seen, and it was the housekeeper with a stern aura who woke her up.

"Young Madam, Young Madam!" The housekeeper's vicissitudes of voice came over, waking up Lin Manman who was still asleep: "It's already very late, if you don't get up again, Madam Nie will be in a hurry!"
