After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

On this day, Lianyun City’s annual Lantern Festival is here.

The streets are busier than usual. In preparation for the evening lantern festival, people start working hard in the morning to give the festival the scope it deserves.

The four sisters walked through the streets, holding several styles of paper lanterns in their hands.

They were so lucky that they met some acquaintances on the road while they were shopping.

Han Liuyi waved at them, holding Lin Yue's arm and ran forward.

"What a coincidence!" she said, with a happy smile on her face, and glanced at Xia Nian from the corner of her eye.

"Yeah, isn't there a lantern festival tonight? Let's come out and have some fun early." Meng Yin said with a smile.

"Then you must not miss the parade tonight, or you will be shocked." Han Liuyi said.

"it is good!"

After a few more pleasantries, the two groups separated.

Tao Tao didn't say much. She felt that Lin Yue was weird. He always looked at Xia Nian, and when Xia Nian looked at him, he immediately looked away.

She thought about it, and seeing that Nian Nian didn't care, she didn't say anything. Nian Nian has been in a bad mood these past two days, so she shouldn't upset her.

When she returned to Yiqing's residence, Xia Nian saw Xia Houyu sitting in the yard waiting for her from afar.

When Xia Nian saw him, he immediately turned around and left, and Xia Hou Yu hurriedly chased after him.

He flew in front of Xia Nian, and the other three had already slipped away.

Xia Nian had no choice but to meet his gaze. He leaned forward slightly, and there was a strong sense of grievance in his clear pupils under his curly eyelashes.

"Anian, it's been several days, and you still won't forgive me?" He asked, holding her arm with his big hand.

Xia Nian looked at him and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

It’s not that she was unwilling to forgive Xiahou Yu, she just simply wanted to avoid his straightforward affection.

"No." She answered with a cold expression.

Xia Houyu lowered her eyes and wanted to say something, but a servant suddenly ran up and said to Xia Nian, "Miss Xia, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

Xia Nian frowned: "Did he say his name?"

"His name is Lin Yue." The servant replied.

"Lin Yue...why did he come to see me?" Xia Nian muttered, then left Xia Houyu and went out.

Xiahou Yu stood there with an unhappy look on his face.

He suddenly remembered that after he and Xia Nian had a quarrel in Xiaoyao City, it was Xia Nian who saved him by chance.

Could it be that he also likes Xia Nian? Xia Houyu couldn't help but clench his hands and flew to the top of the gate.

Outside the door, Lin Yue looked at Xia Nian's porcelain-like face and his face suddenly turned red.

Xia Nian looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he called her out but didn't say anything.

"Mr. Lin?" she reminded.

Lin Yue seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage. He avoided Xia Nian's gaze and covered his mouth with his clenched fists, as if he had done something to let her down.

"Miss Xia...are you afraid of pain?"

Xia Nian raised her eyebrows slightly: This guy called her out just to ask this?

"Not bad. Why are you asking this, Mr. Lin?" she replied.

"No...it's okay. I just wanted to ask you when I saw you today." His handsome face showed a bit of shyness, which was strangely different from his previous self.

Xia Nian suddenly felt that Lin Yue was not like the Lin Yue she had met before.

She remembered him as confident and vivacious, but now he was timid.

"Well, then I'll go in first." Xia Nian didn't think too much about it, and turned and left after he finished speaking.

When she first entered the yard, she was glad that Xiahou Yu had finally left, but he suddenly flew down and stood in front of her. Because the light was behind her, Xia Nian could only see the paranoid possessiveness and the dark pupils in his eyes.

She was inexplicably frightened.

"Miss Xia is really popular." He said sarcastically.

"When others come to call Miss Xia, you just go out, but you hide from me when I come, right?" he said again, slowly approaching her.

Xia Nian frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Xiahou Yu suddenly leaned towards her and put his hands against the wall behind her.

"Anian, can't you be alone with me?" He moved closer to her and suddenly rubbed her nose with his nose with malicious intent.

No matter how calm Xia Nian was, she couldn't stand his teasing.

Her face was red, and she stared at him with misty eyes. This seemed very powerless to Xiahou Yu, and even made him very excited.

"Get out of the way." Xia Nian ordered.

Xiahou Yu smirked: "What will happen if I don't allow it? Will Ah Nian be angry?"

As soon as he said this, Xiahou Yu regretted it because Xia Nian was really angry.

Xiahou Yu looked at his foot that was stepped on hard and Xia Nian's ruthless back, and lowered his head in frustration.

In the evening, Meng Yin and Tao Tao were already together with Gu Lingyiqing. They wanted the four sisters to go to the Lantern Festival, but the two of them refused.

Xu Zheng also left Yi Mansion under Pei Xuanxi's coaxing. Xia Nian originally wanted to stay in the mansion, but she didn't expect Xiao Xian to ask her to go to the lantern festival.

She didn't think much about it. The mansion was quite deserted, so she went out with Xiao Xian.

But Xiao Xian was different today than usual. He talked a lot more and didn't touch people's heads shyly all the time.

Xiahou Yu looked at the two people's backs, and his heart was filled with anger and sadness.

He was sure in his heart that Xia Nian liked him, but now he has some doubts.

Since she likes me, why would she go out with other men?

Xia Houyu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to ask. Xia Nian said that what she said last time didn't count. What kind of person was he to ask? Xia Nian would be angry again.

He sat on the roof, his head hanging weakly.

But he was very surprised that Xiao Xian would come to see Xia Nian after being interviewed by him.

Xia Nian is nice to everyone except himself, he thought dejectedly.

Xiao Xian looked at Xia Nian's lowered eyes and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xia, are you in a bad mood?"

Xia Nian shook his head subconsciously: "No."

He smiled and put his hand on Xia Nian's waist.

"Let's go to that restaurant. I have booked a private room there. We can clearly see the lantern parade that will be held soon." Xiao Xian said, pointing to the restaurant in front.

Xia Nian turned her head to look at his face and said, "Mr. Xiao, I think you are different today than usual."

Xiao Xian's fingers moved slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Ah, no."

Xia Nian turned around and whispered, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, don't mind it, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Xian smiled and nodded. How could he mind? He didn't think much about it in the first place.

The two arrived at the restaurant and were surprised to find that there were not many people inside.

I guess the parade hasn't started yet, and most people are visiting the lantern festival on the central street.

Xiao Xian sat down and asked, "Miss Xia, are you hungry?"

Xia Nian shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not very hungry."

"Then have a cup of tea. The parade may take a while." He stretched out his hand and handed over the tea. Xia Nian had just talked for a long time and was indeed thirsty, so he took the cup and took a sip.

Looking at the water on her lips, Xiao Xian lowered his eyes, still very hesitant.

Does he really want to... do that to Xia Nian?

This is considered as repaying kindness with enmity. Xiahou Yu and Xia Nian saved him, but he did such a dirty thing to her in return.

But...Han Liuyi's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes again.

If he didn't do this, Liu Yi's plan would not succeed and the master would punish him.

At that time, how would he stay with Liu Yi?

Thinking of this, Lin Yue suddenly picked up the cup, poured some medicine into himself, and drank it in one gulp.

Xia Nian looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that he was not drinking tea, but drinking wine.

What's Xiao Xian's problem? Drinking tea instead of wine?

She was about to ask, but suddenly she saw Xiao Xian's figure flash in front of her. She shook her head, and a heat surged up from her lower abdomen, making her feel inexplicably hot and blushing.

Two strange blushes appeared on her face, adding a hint of charm to her originally cold and peaceful features.

She couldn't help but pull at the collar of her clothes, trying to cool herself down.

Xiao Xian, who had been keeping his head down in front of her, suddenly raised his head, and like her, he looked at her intently with affection in his eyes.

Xia Nian glanced behind his ear, frowned, and tried hard to recall something in his mind.

Xiao Xian walked up to her and grabbed the chair behind her with one arm, as if holding her in his arms.

"Miss Xia, are you hot?"
