When I got home, it was already dark. At my insistence, Xu Binwei did not go upstairs with me. Now I no longer need to jump on one leg and can walk up, but my movements are a little slower.

I took out the key and was about to open the door, but the door was ajar. Did I forget to lock the door?

I hesitated and slowly pushed the door open a crack. The room was dark, the windows were open, and the curtains were constantly floating in the wind. I stood at the door, struggling to move forward and back, my heart beating like thunder, and memories of what happened a few days ago suddenly came to my mind.

News seen on TV.

There have been many home invasions and robberies in Haibin City recently, and one person was even killed by the gangsters during the resistance. The police have issued a wanted order to hunt down the suspects...

According to news reports, most of the cases occurred in old communities with imperfect safety facilities. There were no surveillance videos and no security inspections...

The more I thought about this possibility, the more scared I became. I didn’t even have the courage to reach out and press the light switch. Just as I was hesitating, there was the sound of rapid footsteps in the corridor, and a few steps later, there was a figure.

Rush to my side.

"ah--"

"Chu Xia, it's me." Xu Binwei held the fist I was about to swing at him, "What's wrong with you?"

I have never been so grateful for Xu Binwei's appearance as I am now. "There seems to be someone inside..." I hugged one of Xu Binwei's arms tightly, and when I spoke, I realized that my voice was trembling.

Xu Binwei turned around to block me behind her, opened the door with a bang, reached out and flicked the switch on the door, and the light suddenly filled the stairwell, and there was no movement.

I stood behind Xu Binwei, holding his waist tightly with both hands, like a koala, following his footsteps, and slowly moved into the house.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Xu Binwei patted the back of my hand that was holding his shirt tightly and said comfortingly: "There's nothing."

I poked my head out from Xu Binwei's broad shoulders and looked inside. The room was deserted, and there wasn't a single soul around. Then I rested my forehead on his broad back in exhaustion, patted my heart and said, "I'm scared to death.

The door was ajar when I came up just now, I thought..."

"Call the police." Xu Binwei still held my hand and said calmly, "Someone has come in. The door must have been broken open."

"What?"

I followed the direction of Xu Binwei's fingers and saw that the wardrobe in the bedroom was wide open, clothes were scattered on the floor, and almost all the drawers in the living room had been pulled out... They were really stolen.

The police came quickly, asked some questions, made a record of the lost property, and left with a few words of instructions. I can only be glad that I am not a money saver. I have very little cash at home and only a few bank notes.

I always carry the card with me, but the necklace in the closet, although not very valuable, is very precious to me.

That platinum necklace was given to me by Ji Qiuchen when he proposed to me three years ago. At that time, he was still in graduate school and earning some money by designing for others. He was still far away from buying a good diamond ring, so he bought it.

He gave me that necklace. I still remember that he repeatedly rubbed my ring finger and said that such a beautiful finger must be matched with a good ring to secure it.

The ring didn't arrive, and now even the necklace has disappeared. Whatever, it was God's will. I have been reluctant to throw it away, but in the end I still couldn't keep it.

I sat slumped on the bed, looking at Xu Binwei who was bending down to clean up the mess in the house. I didn't notice it because I was afraid and nervous, but now I suddenly remembered that he and I seemed to be too close just now.

"Why did you come up again?"

"I noticed that the lights in your room were not turned on for a long time. I was afraid that something might happen to you when you went upstairs, so I came up to take a look."

Hey, this person who always likes to make fun of me is actually quite kind.

"Thank you, Xu Binwei." Apart from Li Ya, he is the only person in this city who cares about me.

"Come and stay at my place for a few days." Xu Binwei put a pile of clothes beside the bed and looked at me and said.

"Ah? This...is not good." I said hesitantly.

Xu Binwei raised his eyebrows, "What else? Didn't the police just say that, although it is not certain that the same person committed the crime, it is best for single women not to live alone before the culprit is caught. I don't think you have that much courage, either.

How dare you live here alone."

Having said that, I always feel a little awkward about living in Xu Binwei's house. Besides, catching criminals doesn't happen in a day or two. Who knows how long it will take before I can come back.
