Although the city lights were bright, the inside of the room was hazy with the curtain.

Xu Nanjin was not used to it and her vision turned dark.

Frantically she felt around the wall, but she couldn’t find the switch.

Being unable to see clearly made her feel nervous.

Would there be a man standing behind the curtain, suddenly slashing at them with a knife?

If something happened to her and Xu Mo, what should Xiao Ke do?

No, she had to get back to her daughter.

Just as she thought this, she turned around, but before she could see clearly, she bumped into the door again.

Xu Mo was relatively calm. It wasn’t completely dark in the room, so he could still see the general outline.

Seeing Xu Nanjin’s frightened expression, he turned on the electric light.

She felt a blur and everything became clear again.

She touched her forehead. Wisps of pain made her squint.

She turned around to look at the curtains. All was calm.

The terrible conjecture she had just made immediately vanished.

Xu Mo didn’t know why she was so flustered just now. He said with concern, “Are you alright? Do you want to apply some medicine?”

Xu Nanjin sensed that it was not swollen. It was not a big problem.

She shook her head. “I’m fine. I was just nervous.”

“That’s good! It’s just that the lights are off. Are you afraid of the dark?” Xu Mo asked.

He was curious about everything about her now. He didn’t want to miss a single opportunity to get to know her.

However, it seemed normal for women to be afraid of the dark. Was it unnecessary to ask?

Xu Nanjin said embarrassedly, “Actually, that’s not the case. I’m a little night-blind.”

“Today is the first day we’ve moved in. I was a little scared just now when I thought the bad guys were inside.”

Just now, she had already gone through the scene of the criminal killing her three times in her mind. If Xu Mo hadn’t turned on the lights in time, she would have already started screaming.

After saying that, she felt embarrassed and said, “Then I’ll watch you check here. Look under the curtains, wardrobe, and bed.”

“…”

Xu Mo wondered if she was paranoid.

Even so, he did as she asked and checked everything.

She was even worried and wanted him to lift the blanket to take a look as well.

After doing all of this, Xu Nanjin heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It looks like there’s no problem at all. I can sleep in peace now.”

She had seen all the places where people could hide. It was absolutely safe.

Xu Mo suddenly smiled and asked, “Did you read a ghost story today? Otherwise, why do you feel like there are people everywhere?”

He realized now that the examination had been far too thorough.

Especially in this room of his, they had picked at almost every corner.

Xu Nanjin didn’t find this sentence funny. Waiting for Xiao Ke to fall asleep and then watching horror movies was her old tradition.

However, after watching them, she was afraid and could not recover for a few days.

But so what? His addiction could not be changed.

Every time darkness fell, she automatically brought herself into those horrific scenes.

She forced a smile. “No. Women should naturally pay more attention to safety.”

Xu Mo’s expression suddenly turned serious. He stared behind her and said, “What’s that?”

These words scared Xu Nanjin out of his wits. She rushed towards him.

Because her speed was too fast, her inertia directly pressed Xu Mo against the wall.

Xu Mo was stunned when the back of his head was hit.

What a big reaction!

It was just to experiment with what she had just said, and now she was pouncing on him!

She was nervous, too frightened to move.

Xu Nanjin only reacted after a few seconds. She quickly let go and faced the wall, not daring to turn around.

What was behind her? The thought made her skin crawl.

She asked with a trembling voice, “Xu Mo, is there anyone else in the room besides the three of us? Quickly call the police.”

Xu Mo looked at her frightened expression and explained, “No, I was seeing things just now.

“Just the three of us in the room. And perfectly safe.”

Xu Nanjin turned around abruptly. Indeed, there was nothing.

But she was really frightened just now. She even felt a pair of big hands strangling her neck.

She’d even felt a chill run down his spine, but now she felt better.

Suddenly she felt humiliated. He must have done it on purpose.

She said angrily, “I finally know how you got your nickname. Hmph.”

She seemed angry. Her face flushed and her chest rose.

Her eyes darted from time to time, and she felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Xu Mo hurriedly apologized. “I’m sorry! I won’t do this next time.”

“By the way, what movies were you watching? Are they so scary?”

“Don’t let it happen again. It scared the hell out of me just now. What I saw was—”

Xu Nanjin stopped mid-sentence. Why did he trick her?

All she had to do was watch the horror movies alone. No one else had to find out. Otherwise, they’d think she was bold.

In fact, she was only a coward. She had to peek through her fingers to watch the movies even if she was afraid.

She coughed lightly and said, “I don’t watch horror movies. I’m going back to sleep.”

She didn’t know what kind of woman Xu Mo liked, but he probably didn’t like those who were into horror movies.

Xu Mo smiled and said, “I’m glad that you don’t. Otherwise, you would feel that there are people everywhere. How can you sleep when it’s so lively?”

That reminded her so much she could barely move her feet.

This was the aftereffect of watching a horror movie every time. When she opened her eyes, she felt that there were people everywhere.

Closing her eyes, she felt surrounded by people.

Thinking of Xiao Ke beside her, she gritted her teeth and walked out.

The two rooms were opposite each other. She half-closed the door and said to Xu Mo, “You have to work tomorrow. Rest early. Good night.”

Though her calves trembled with fear, she slowly closed the door.

Xu Mo had long seen through her fear. He walked to the door and said, “Rest well. I won’t close the door. I’ll come over when I hear the sound.”

He listened carefully and vaguely heard a response from inside.

Xu Mo returned to his room, packed his things, and turned off the light to sleep peacefully.

Judging from her behavior just now, if Xu Nanjin discovered anything, her voice would definitely be loud enough to wake him up.

The room became hazy again. He looked at the ceiling and recalled the moment when Xu Nanjin hugged him.

My wife is a little timid. She should be protected!

At the thought of having a wife and child in the future, Xu Mo smiled in satisfaction and quickly fell asleep.

However, Xu Nanjin couldn’t sleep. She widened her eyes and didn’t dare to fall asleep.

Her daughter was sleeping soundly beside her. Her even breathing made her feel at ease, but she still could not fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the plot in the movie played out automatically.

She had no choice but to open her eyes and fight.

After a few hours of this, she suddenly felt the urge to pee.

She glanced at her phone. It was after four.

She wanted to get up, but was afraid.

It was as if there was a terrifying monster under the bed that would devour her if she moved.

After another half an hour, she really couldn’t take it anymore.

She called out to the door, “Xu Mo, Xu Mo.”

It wasn’t loud enough to be heard outside.

When nothing happened, she had to call.

She vaguely heard a phone ring and soon heard Xu Mo’s voice. “What’s wrong? Do you want me to come in?”

Without thinking, Xu Nanjin rushed out of bed and opened the door.
