Chapter 436 Don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you
As the night deepened, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually died down, with only the occasional sound of vehicles and the faint music from a distant bar reminding people that the city was not completely asleep.
Jiang Ning returned home, took off her heavy disguise and changed into comfortable home clothes. She thought that her tiredness would make her fall asleep quickly, but she found that her mind was unusually active, and she kept replaying every detail of her time in the elevator with Gu Yuan in her mind.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, the sheets crumpled beneath her, but she still couldn't calm down.
Finally, Jiang Ning sighed and decided to get up and find something to do to dispel this unspeakable anxiety.
Late at night, moonlight shines through the window into the quiet living room.
Jiang Ning walked quietly into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, took out some ingredients, and prepared to make a simple midnight snack to comfort his tired body and mind.
However, just as she was busy, suddenly, a slight noise came from the living room, breaking the tranquility of the night.
At first, Jiang Ning didn't pay much attention to the noise. She thought it might just be the wind blowing the curtains, or the pets at home playing tricks.
But as time went on, the noises became more frequent and obvious, as if something was constantly moving in the living room.
Jiang Ning's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
She nervously put down the knife in her hand and walked carefully towards the living room.
Every step seemed particularly heavy, and the sound of heartbeats was like thunder, echoing in the silent night. The lights in the living room were a little dim, and Jiang Ning's eyes needed a while to adjust before he could see the surrounding environment clearly.
When she finally got used to the dim light, she vaguely saw a blurry figure moving around the room.
In an instant, Jiang Ning's breathing stopped and a strong sense of fear surged in his heart.
She realized that there might be a thief in the house!
Fear was like a cold poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around her heart, but she tried to calm herself down and quietly retreated to the kitchen.
She took a deep breath, quickly picked up the phone on the table, and dialed Gu Yuan's number.
The phone rang only once before it was quickly picked up. Gu Yuan's deep and concerned voice reached Jiang Ning's ears:
"Hello? What's wrong, Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning's voice trembled slightly, and he said with a hint of fear:
"Gu Yuan... there seems to be a thief in my house... I'm so scared now, I don't know what to do..."
Her words were full of helplessness and anxiety, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in the darkness. "
Gu Yuan's voice immediately became anxious and resolute:
"Ningning, don't be afraid. Find a safe place to hide first, lock the door, and don't make any noise. I'll be there now, wait for me!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning followed Gu Yuan's instructions, hid in the bedroom, locked the door, and huddled in the corner beside the bed, holding the phone tightly in his hand. Gu Yuan's number was displayed on the screen, ready to call again at any time.
Time seemed to slow down abnormally, and every second seemed like torture.
Jiang Ning could hear his own heartbeat and the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the door.
She closed her eyes and prayed silently that Gu Yuan would arrive as soon as possible.
Finally, when Jiang Ning was about to collapse, there was a hurried knock on the door and Gu Yuan's voice:
"Ningning, it's me, open the door, I'm here to save you!"
Jiang Ning almost ran to the door, and the moment she opened it, she saw Gu Yuan's anxious face, his eyes full of worry and concern.
She threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face no longer able to be held back.
Gu Yuan hugged her tightly and comforted her:
"It's okay, Ningning, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
With Gu Yuan's company, Jiang Ning gradually calmed down.
The police soon arrived at the scene and after a search, they found that the thief had fled.
Although no valuables were lost in the house, this incident made Jiang Ning deeply feel Gu Yuan's reliability and concern for her.
Afterwards, Gu Yuan stayed with Jiang Ning until she fell asleep peacefully.
Although this night was filled with fear and anxiety, it also became an important turning point in their relationship, making them cherish each other more and more determined to continue together.
