After I kicked out my boss, I became a landlady

Wen Nuan stood quietly at the door, but her heart felt inexplicably tight.

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the door. The sound was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the eardrums, and instantly made the warm body stiff.

Immediately afterwards, the man's scream broke through the silent air. The voice was full of pain and fear, sending a chill down my warm spine.

Then, it seemed as if something heavy suddenly hit the ground, making a dull and heart-pounding sound.

Wen Nuan felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to her heart, and she suddenly felt extremely scared.

Even those brave people would probably be scared if they encountered such a situation, let alone I was just a weak girl who was sleeping soundly at the moment but was awakened by this sudden terrifying sound.

Her warm breathing became rapid and disordered, and she stared at the closed door nervously, as if countless unknown horrors were hidden behind the door.

She wanted to shout loudly, but the sound was stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door, and the sound seemed particularly abrupt in this silent and terrifying atmosphere.

Wen Nuan widened her eyes in horror and her body involuntarily stepped back.

She called out in a trembling voice: "Who?"

"Wen Nuan, are you asleep?"

It was Yang Chi's voice.

Wen Nuan quickly opened the door, and as soon as the door opened a crack, she saw Yang Chi standing at the door.

His figure seemed a little blurry in the dim light of the corridor, but it was extremely real.

Wen Nuan almost subconsciously threw herself on Yang Chi and hugged him tightly.

Yang Chi was slightly startled by this sudden action, but he quickly reacted and gently hugged Wen Nuan back.

Wen Nuan didn't know why, but tears started streaming down her face.

"Okay, don't cry." Yang Chi hugged Wen Nuan tightly and comforted her gently.

His arms were like a solid barrier, tightly surrounding the warmth.

Yang Chi lowered his head and looked at Wen Nuan's tear-stained face, his eyes full of heartache.

He gently wiped away the tears from the warm face with his fingers.

When Wen Nuan heard this, her body trembled slightly. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but Yang Chi's embrace made her feel a sense of warmth and security.

Slowly, her crying became less and less, and finally stopped.

She raised her head, tears still welling up in her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation and desire, hoping to get a positive answer from Yang Chi.

Looking at Wen Nuan's uneasy eyes, Yang Chi became more determined to protect her.

He looked at Wen Nuan with a firm gaze and said solemnly, "Really, I won't let anyone hurt you. I've already driven that person away, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."

His voice was steady and powerful, as if it injected a shot of adrenaline into the warmth.

Wen Nuan looked at Yang Chi's determined eyes, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

She knew that as long as Yang Chi was there, she would not be harmed in any way.

"What happened just now? What's with that sound?" Wen Nuan asked with a trembling voice.

There was still fear in her eyes and her body was shaking slightly.

Wen Nuan clutched Yang Chi's sleeve tightly, as if it was her only support.

Yang Chi looked at Wen Nuan like this, his heart filled with pity.

He gently held her warm hand, trying to pass on some warmth and strength to her.

"Don't be afraid, Wen Nuan. Just now a drunk man fell in the corridor and screamed. The sound was really scary. Then he might not have stood firmly when he got up and accidentally bumped into the trash can. I heard your door open in the room, and I was worried that you would be scared, so I came over to check." Yang Chi explained patiently. His voice was steady and gentle, which gradually calmed Wen Nuan's emotions.

After listening to Yang Chi's explanation, the fear in Wen Nuan's heart gradually dissipated.

She slowly loosened her grip on Yang Chi's sleeve and took a deep breath.

"So that's how it is. I thought..." Wen Nuan didn't finish her words, but the fear in her eyes had been replaced by a sense of relief.

"Thank you, Yang Chi. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do." Wen Nuan said softly.

Yang Chi gently touched Wen Nuan's head and said tenderly, "Okay, don't worry, I'm next to you, I will definitely protect you. Go back and rest."

He held the warm hand tightly, slowly pulled him to the bed, let him lie down, and then carefully covered him with a blanket, saying softly: "Don't think about anything, close your eyes and go to sleep."

When Yang Chi thought Wen Nuan had fallen asleep, he was preparing to leave cautiously, but Wen Nuan suddenly grabbed her hand and said timidly, "Can you stay with me? I'm scared."

Yang Chi looked at Wen Nuan holding his hand, and his heart softened. He said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm next door, call me anytime if you need anything."

Wen Nuan held Yang Chi's hand tightly, as if this could make her feel more secure.

Her slightly trembling voice revealed her inner fear: "But... I'm still very scared. Can you stay with me for a while and sleep with me?"

Yang Chi sighed helplessly, and finally followed Wen Nuan's wishes and lay down on the bed.

Wen Nuan held his arms tightly and made him hug her tightly.

In his arms, Wen Nuan listened to his steady heartbeat and felt extremely at ease.

Yang Chi gently patted her warm back and soothed her with a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you can sleep peacefully, I will always be here with you."

His breathing was even and steady, allowing the warmth to slowly relax.

There was a tranquil atmosphere in the room. The moonlight shone through the window onto the bed, illuminating the figures of the two people hugging each other.

The warm fear gradually dissipated, and she slowly fell asleep in Yang Chi's arms.

Yang Chi quietly looked at Wen Nuan who was sleeping soundly, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

Yang Chi gazed at the warm and peaceful sleeping face, feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, he heard the sound in time and came out to check the situation, otherwise the warmth would have really scared him.

He recalled Wen Nuan's frightened expression just now, and his heart was filled with pity.

Yang Chi secretly made up his mind that he would take better care of Wen Nuan in the future so that she would no longer feel afraid.

He gently kissed the warm hair, feeling the silky touch, his heart filled with tenderness.

Standing beside her warm body, listening to her even breathing, he gradually felt sleepy.

Yang Chi slowly closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let his tired mind and body slowly sink into sleep.

It was late at night, and the room was silent, with only the intertwined breathing of the two people.

The moonlight shone through the window onto them, as if covering them with a soft veil.
