Chapter 1: A Happy First Day at Work - Living Alone with a Little Social Anxiety...
"The new nanny has fainted. Get a doctor quickly."
The rustling, chaotic sounds, mixed with the unfamiliar man's deep instructions, caused the boy lying on the bed to instinctively flinch.
The boy's name was Xie Ruan.
He was lying in a villa on a soft, white bed.
Before lying down on this bed, Xie Ruan had just starved to death on the street.
Xie Ruan had no idea how she had suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
Wasn't he dead?
Xie Ruan quietly nestled in the pillow that smelled faintly of sunshine.
Xie Ruan had never smelled this kind of odor before. The place where he lived was always damp and rainy, and people couldn't even find clean food.
As for enjoying the sunshine.
It's even more extravagant.
Delusion.
Xie Ruan lay on his side, his body, which was not very tall, nestled in the bed. He seemed much thinner than his peers, with a sickly look in the corners of his eyes.
People couldn't help but lower their voices and focus all their attention on taking care of him and asking about his health.
The man's voice sounded unfamiliar: "Dr. Tang, is he alright?"
The doctor paused, looking at Xie Ruan. The afternoon light shone through the large French windows, casting warm, dappled shadows on him, shaded by the trees.
Xie Ruan's eyelashes were long and slightly curled, and his eyelids were slightly blurred with reflections.
Then, with shallow breathing and a slight tremor, one couldn't help but lower their voice: "It's nothing, just malnutrition, he fainted. Give him some IV fluids and make sure he eats a good diet."
The people here seem different from the people he knew.
Xie Ruan had never received such warmth before.
Xie Ruan was an orphan. In the world where Xie Ruan lived, which lacked basic security, most people only beat, scolded, and even harmed him.
Xie Ruan relied on this sunny, fragrant, unmutated, and even peaceful state of being.
The words "Dr. Tang," "Assistant Li," and "nanny" provide a vague clue to his current situation.
Yes.
Xie Ruan transmigrated into a book.
He gradually realized that this was not the apocalypse he was in.
He transmigrated into a cringeworthy, abandoned novel he had accidentally picked up from the ground: "Hot Sweetheart Nanny: Don't Run Away."
If I remember correctly, Xie Ruan should have transmigrated into the body of the male nanny Xie Ruan in the book, who shared the same name and was only briefly mentioned. He was a villainous cannon fodder who didn't follow the apartment rules, hid his identity as a stalker fan, and ultimately died young.
Instead of the original owner who dies and is replaced by a hot and sweet nanny protagonist that everyone fights over.
Xie Ruan recalled the plot of the original book.
In the original book, the villa he is currently in is a property left over from a private film shoot by the Pei Group.
To avoid waste, the Pei Group unconditionally gifted the right to use this property to one of its top artists.
This includes the president of the Pei Group himself, as well as the movie star that the original owner had been a fan of since childhood.
Xie Ruan didn't know how, but the original owner's obsession with chasing stars turned into that of becoming a stalker fan of the movie star.
Not only was she out of her mind and concealed her fan identity from the recruiter, but she also took advantage of being the idol's nanny to secretly take photos and steal things from the idol's room.
Ultimately, this led to him harboring resentment and stabbing the movie star, resulting in his imprisonment and subsequent death in despair. He became a mere plot device mentioned only briefly in this book.
Xie Ruan, who cherishes life, cannot agree with this.
As an orphan who had no resources, no family, no friends in his previous life and starved to death in the apocalypse.
Xie Ruan really couldn't accept the behavior of repeatedly hurting the person she liked.
It's also unacceptable that the original owner gave up such a good job and went to jail for courting death.
For Xie Ruan, having food, shelter, and a stable job was already a perfect job.
Moreover, if Xie Ruan remembered correctly, the original owner also had a monthly salary of 100,000.
What does a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan mean in this world?
It's 10,000 sets of Jianbing Guozi that only exist in books!
20,000 sets of grilled cold noodles that only exist in the book!!
5000 cups of milk tea that only exist in books!!!
Even if you only get the Guan Gu Baqi that exists in the book, you can eat 2857 of them! You could arrange them all in your room!!
However, under these circumstances, the original owner chose a path of extreme suffering, going further and further astray, and even died in despair at the age of 21. Xie Ruan simply could not understand this.
Xie Ruan lived in the end times.
To be able to transmigrate into this peaceful world through a book and have a job.
He felt incredibly lucky.
Xie Ruan's mind raced, but when the cold fingers touched his slender, pale wrist, he instinctively flinched and shrank back by the bed.
The private doctor's heart softened instinctively, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
Xie Ruan was not afraid.
It's a conditioned reflex.
He had lived in the apocalypse for a long time and had become accustomed to escaping and avoiding others.
He subconsciously buried his fair forehead low, letting his long, soft bangs fall down, obscuring his long eyelashes and beautiful, round eyes.
Xie Ruan always had a habit of avoiding being touched by others.
But the touch did not cause any aversion. Instead, the doctor who approached thought he had suffered some kind of shock. Feeling sorry for him, the doctor touched Xie Ruan's forehead and, after confirming for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, you don't have a fever."
The private doctor turned to the assistant in charge of the villa apartment: "It seems she suffered some shock; she'll be fine after a rest."
Assistant Li nodded: "Then let's take a rest."
Assistant Li works for the Pei Group and is currently in charge of managing this apartment building.
Assistant Li's face was somewhat cold. When Xie Ruan cautiously looked up, she happened to see Assistant Li's subconscious gaze.
Their eyes met.
Xie Ruan instinctively flinched, her fingers retracting into the long sleeves she was still wearing in the summer. Only when her slender, beautiful fingers were completely out of sight did she feel a little relieved, her heart pounding with anxiety.
he……
Won't.
I'm going to be fired, right?
Some places don't seem to like employees who are very fragile.
An employee could be fired even if they get sick.
Moreover, given the original owner's dramatic ups and downs and sudden fainting, she was even more likely to be rejected.
Xie Ruan lowered her head even further.
How will he survive in this unfamiliar world?
Xie Ruan instinctively curled up her thin legs and hugged him.
Assistant Li's cold words fell mercilessly once again: "What I said before about daily work reports in the group..."
Assistant Li paused, which stirred up an uncontrollable sense of panic in Xie Ruan's heart.
really.
There's no escaping it.
Xie Ruan subconsciously took out her phone and typed out today's work details in the employer group chat: Today's work details are as follows...
Xie Ruan's fingers trembled uncontrollably, the thought of losing his job causing them to shake erratically.
Until, the assistant looked at Xie Ruan and said seriously, "I mentioned before that the daily report was canceled because it was inconvenient for the employer."
?
Xie Ruan glanced at the group chat subconsciously.
Wen Hezhou
【Jiye】
...
Upon receiving the message that he had left the group chat, his eyes widened in surprise.
Wait! !
These must be the names of the original owner's employers in the novel!?
One of the things Xie Ruan feared most about this job was the project mentioned by Assistant Li in the novel: reporting work to the employer daily in a group chat!
But now even the daily internal friction, repeated revisions, and repetitive thinking required for the return work are no longer needed!!?
This is practically the dream job he's ever had!
Xie Ruan maintained a cold exterior, but her heart was pounding wildly inside.
It wasn't until his fingers unconsciously clenched the sheets and he felt their solidity that he gradually realized he wasn't dreaming.
It's true!! It's really true, I was kept on to work by the kind assistant and the boss!!!
A monthly salary of 100,000?!
Can he really have it?
Xie Ruan couldn't help but tremble.
With his long, gloomy bangs and slightly trembling movements, he looked as if he was about to cry at any moment, leaving the 180cm tall assistant somewhat at a loss as he looked at the fragile little nanny resting on the bed.
Assistant Li probed: "And what about before..."
Before?
Xie Ruan suddenly realized what was happening.
He suddenly realized that the timing of his transmigration into the book was not the best.
If she remembered correctly, Xie Ruan suddenly recalled that the original owner subconsciously added the idol's account after realizing that the idol was one of the employers.
However, the idol was very resistant to adding her as a friend. His attitude of refusing and leaving the group deeply affected the original owner, who fainted because he couldn't think straight.
Xie Ruan happened to transmigrate into this storyline.
Xie Ruan lowered her head even further.
My mind couldn't help but push the worst possible outcome of this matter—would they deduct my salary, or even give me a warning of dismissal?
That's true.
Adding someone as a friend seems suspiciously like the actions of fans or obsessive fans in this world.
This is especially true in cases where the original owner's idol is a movie star.
For jobs requiring close proximity, one will obviously be more cautious.
Therefore, even if Xie Ruan tries to explain to them that she is not a sasaeng fan like the original owner, they will probably still take safety measures for her own safety.
It seems the movie star told his assistant that he wanted to fire him.
Xie Ruan recalled the plot of the original book and compared it with reality.
Assistant Li, however, was extremely serious: "I didn't tell you about you adding the employer as a friend before."
In Assistant Li's eyes, it's perfectly normal for subordinates to add their bosses on their contacts for easier communication.
but……
Those few...
Even Assistant Li found it difficult to handle.
What's more, Xie Ruan was only 19 years old and inexperienced in the ways of the world.
Assistant Li had no idea that adding someone as a friend was a sign of the original owner's impure motives.
Instead, he felt that Xie Ruan was naive and that it was his fault for not informing him in advance: "It's my fault for not telling you in advance that the employers value privacy very much. From now on, you only need to go through me for handover. You don't need to add their accounts or report your work."
After all, this is just a private residence belonging to the Pei Group, used for emergency purposes; none of the employers live here regularly.
If every property's staff were to have an employer listed, wouldn't the employers be driven crazy?
Assistant Li: "The employers rarely come to this villa, so you can be alone most of the time. Your main job is to handle emergencies, and you work from 9 to 5 every day. Other nannies take care of the hall, garden, and other areas. Your main responsibilities are to provide the employers with meals, deliveries, and room cleaning services."
Assistant Li: "As for the vast majority of the time when the employer is not present, once the basic cleaning service is completed, no other work is required."
?
Xie Ruan looked at Assistant Li in disbelief.
Is this kind of treatment even possible?
It wasn't mentioned in the original book!
Xie Ruan only remembered that in the original book, the original owner fainted and then did a series of self-destructive things, resulting in a tragic end.
Nobody told him that this job was so great!!
If I remember correctly, the employers almost never came back later in the story!
If the employer doesn't come back, then there's no need to cook!
Does that mean he could get a high-paying job with a monthly salary of 100,000 just by cleaning the rooms of four employers every day?!?
Xie Ruan couldn't help but pinch herself.
it hurts! !
So awesome!!!
Xie Ruan subconsciously raised her beautiful forehead, and her pretty doe eyes, visible beneath her slightly long bangs, gazed brightly at Assistant Li.
This caused Assistant Li to subconsciously hold his breath, his brain going blank: "..."
Only one thing remained in my mind: ...Was this nanny really this pretty before?
Why did he feel that after fainting for a moment, Xie Ruan, the nanny, seemed like a completely different person?
Before Assistant Li could react, Xie Ruan nodded obediently, her small mouth opening and closing as if she were saying something in a soft, almost inaudible voice.
Assistant Li didn't hear clearly, but guessed that Xie Ruan probably said something like "thank you".
...
For some reason, I just find it cute.
It took Assistant Li a moment to realize what he was thinking.
He inwardly berated himself, then subconsciously coughed lightly to cover it up, changing the subject: "Um..."
Assistant Li: "For hours other than 9 to 5, such as from 12 to 2 pm, before 9 am and after 5 pm, our hourly wage is 833 yuan. For these non-working hours and weekend work, we pay double overtime, which is 1666 yuan per hour. And if it is a special holiday, we pay triple overtime, which is 2499 yuan."
Assistant Li: "We're sorry, but because of the nature of your work, you spend most of your time alone in this villa, which must be very boring for you. So we've made a small compensation for you."
A little bit! ? ! ?
Just a tiny bit!
? ? ?
Xie Ruan was completely stunned.
Is the currency of this world the same as the currency of another world?
Overtime pay of 1666 yuan per hour?! 400 cups of lemonade?!
He earns an hourly wage for working an extra hour on weekdays, enough to drink a cup of the world's legendary lemonade every day for over a year!!
? ? ?
Assistant Li, however, said this was just a tiny bit of compensation!
Xie Ruan was completely dumbfounded.
Xie Ruan recalled the employer's near-absence from home in the book, and the butler's extremely apologetic expression, and her brain subconsciously went blank...
Oh...no way!! I'm sorry, our work schedule isn't that regular!!
We can only offer you a tiny bit of compensation!
This kind of job offers a huge villa all to yourself and a high salary!
This is practically a perfect major for people with social anxiety!!!
He only needs to clean four rooms a day to earn an annual salary of 1.2 million...
Xie Ruan can laugh herself awake even in her dreams, okay?
He was extremely grateful to Assistant Li.
However, Xie Ruan is socially awkward, so it's impossible for her to suddenly stand in front of Assistant Li and express her gratitude.
He could only strain to keep his rather long bangs in place and stare intently at Assistant Li.
Assistant Li looked at Xie Ruan's sinister eyes, hidden by her bangs... and inexplicably trembled.
Xie Ruan seemed oblivious, glancing at Assistant Li before quickly lowering her head.
With her overly long bangs covering her eyes, the tips of her ears were slightly flushed with excitement, contrasting with her trembling fingertips and thin lips. She couldn't suppress the excitement that was about to burst out of her heart.
This wonderful thing actually happened to him.
Xie Ruan was still standing there pondering how to respond to Assistant Li when she saw Assistant Li take the initiative to speak to her, as if he had something else to do, and quickly leave the villa with his private doctor.
In an instant, Xie Ruan was left alone in the huge villa.
Xie Ruan was overjoyed. He never imagined that after such a miserable and starving death in his previous life, he would be able to live a life free from worries about food and clothing in this life.
This is so exciting!!
Like a little mushroom, Xie Ruan sneakily went to check the room and corridor next door.
After receiving an IV drip and taking medication, Xie Ruan seemed to regain her energy instantly, running wildly down the corridor.
Only after he was absolutely certain that there was no one left in the corridor or the villa did he lock the door from the first floor, completely immersed in his own rhythm, carrying his new broom—
Spin and jump.
Xie Ruan did not stop.
Xie Ruan was overjoyed. He wasn't good at dancing, but he still sang and danced in the corridor with his clumsy yet exhilarating steps.
He sometimes uses a broom as a microphone.
Sometimes I use it as a guitar.
I couldn't help but play and sing a tune that didn't form any words.
Completely unaware that the man on the top floor of the Pei Group building was accidentally clicking on the surveillance footage of Xie Ruan's villa with his slender fingers.

A note from the author:
----------------------
[Starry-eyed] Juanbao observed the celestial phenomena at night and has emerged from seclusion to begin writing!
Let Juanbao see which of his wives hasn't yet added his upcoming pre-order to their collections this year (shameless)! [Pity] Please!
Pre-order title: "So What If a Skin-Blind Girl Accidentally Flirts with Four Roommates?"
Pre-order synopsis: Song Chanchan, who suffers from skin allergy, has a beautiful face that is both innocent and pure.
As someone with a slight social anxiety and face blindness, Song Chanchan always chose to suppress her feelings whenever her skin allergy flared up! Until her bad-tempered, aloof, and sarcastic roommate Xie Ci appeared, rendering all of Song Chanchan's methods ineffective!!
Faced with repeated flare-ups and an increasingly severe case of dermatophyte syndrome.
Finally, in the dead of night when the lights were off, Song Chanchan reached out his "claws" (not really) to his only surviving roommate.
Song Chanchan probed and probed until she was sure Xie Ci was sound asleep before she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the sleeping Xie Ci tightly.
Song Chanchan was very careful, originally intending to only hug for a short while, and then a little longer... As long as it was secretive enough, he wouldn't be discovered by Xie Ci in the middle of the night...
But Song Chanchan never expected that this hug would make him fall asleep immediately...
I even slept until...noon...
He fell asleep... Xie Ci propped her chin up and stared at him from the headboard...
Song Chanchan: QAQ! Is it too late to reload the save file now?!?
*
Song Chanchan ran faster than a rabbit.
He tried his best to avoid saying thank you, but things didn't go as planned, and Song Chanchan's skin irritation flared up more and more often.
Song Chanchan took a sip of water and secretly expressed her gratitude.
I'll sneak in a thank-you note in the middle of the night.
I picked up my pen and secretly wrote down my thanks.
They can probably barely make ends meet...
Until one day, the skin thirst syndrome broke out.
With red, pitiful eyes, Song Chanchan finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed into the dormitory to confess: "Thank you..."
Please, I haven't even said what you wanted to say yet.
"exist."
"exist."
"exist."
"exist."
The roommate's words of thanks were interrupted by four, four... ! ?
Song Chanchan, who has face blindness, looked at the four identical thank-you notes that had suddenly appeared inside the dormitory and at the dormitory door.
Pupils dilated in shock: "Help! Help! My very kind and heartfelt thanks... how... how did they split into four?!"
