After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss
Chapter 17 Are you afraid of me?
Tao Tao happened to meet Yi Qing on the way to Yi Mansion.
He was coming down from a restaurant and Tao Tao saw him at a glance.
Thinking of Yiqing's appearance last time, she couldn't help rubbing her arms, wanting to take the opportunity to slip away quickly.
As soon as she turned around, two men suddenly flew over from the front and stopped her.
Tao Tao was startled. She subconsciously turned around and tried to run, but bumped into a hard chest.
"Ah!" Tao Tao touched his forehead and looked up with some anger.
Yiqing was looking down at her with a frown on his face.
Tao Tao felt no pain instantly. She knew she couldn't run away, so she curled her lips and said, "Um... Master Yi, what a coincidence."
After she finished speaking, she quickly took two steps back.
Yiqing noticed her little move and asked, "Didn't you just pretend not to see me?"
Tao Tao blinked her eyes and said weakly: "Is there? I don't think so..."
Her smile was so adorable. Yiqing pretended to cough and said, "Are you looking for Yi'an? He's not here."
Tao Tao nodded and took out two invitations from her sleeve: "Then help me give this one to him, and the other one is for you."
Yiqing took it and was surprised to find it was an invitation.
The last time he saw these four girls, they looked so weak and fragile, he didn't expect them to have some skills.
What was even more surprising was that he also had a copy.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tao Tao moved her feet and wanted to run away.
Yiqing grabbed her arm and Tao Tao's whole body trembled. Sensing her discomfort, Yiqing quickly let her go.
"Are you afraid of me?" he asked puzzledly.
Tao Tao touched her ear and said, "No..."
"Then why are you running?" Yi Qing took a step closer to her. He was much taller than Tao Tao. Standing like this, Tao Tao felt like she was suffocating.
"I just...I have something else to help with in the store." Tao Tao explained weakly.
"Really?" Yiqing was a little skeptical.
"Yes..." Tao Tao nodded, and suddenly smelled the same smell from last time on Yiqing.
She is very sensitive to smells and can often smell things that others cannot.
Tao Tao temporarily forgot her fear. She stretched her neck and sniffed his scent like a rabbit.
"What's wrong with you?" Yiqing couldn't help but ask.
Tao Tao raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
Her cheeks were slightly red and she pouted, looking very confused.
"It's okay... I'll go back first. Remember to tell Master Yi'an about this." Tao Tao was worried that he would be angry if she said that he had a smell, so she had to keep the matter to herself and prepared to go back to check the medical books.
Yiqing nodded, and Tao Tao immediately turned around and left.
He turned to look at the two guards and said, "Follow her and take her back to the store. Don't let her find out."
"Yes!"
Yiqing took the two invitations and strode away.

Inside Xiahou Mansion.
Xiahou Yu sat cross-legged on the couch in the study, casually flipping through the book in front of him.
There was nothing in the book that attracted him, so he looked out the door.
"Somebody come!"
The guard came over, bent down and asked, "What do you want, sir?"
"Call Xiao Xian over." He dropped the book and stood up.
"Yes."
It took about half an hour for Xiao Xian to reach Xiahou Yu.
"Lord Xiahou, I am late." He bowed.
Xiahou Yu glanced at him and asked casually, "What did you do just now?"
Xiao Xian thought he was upset about being late, so he quickly said, "I accompanied Miss Xia Nian to the Music Master Hall."
Music Master Hall? Xiahou Yu was silent for a moment, then immediately reacted.
Xia Nian needs musicians to accompany her when she dances.
"Is that all?" he asked, wiping his sword.
"Yes, but the price offered by the Music Master Hall was too high. I wanted to help Miss Xia Nian hire them, but Miss Xia stopped me." Xiao Xian said.
"Did she tell you this morning about going to the Music Teacher's Hall?" Xiahou Yu turned his back and asked casually.
Xiao Xian shook his head: "No, it was Miss Xia Nian who asked me to find two strong and honest men."
Xia Houyu frowned: "Did she tell me the reason?"
"It's just that it's needed for the performance." Xiao Xian said.
Xiahou Yu sat on the chair and threw the token on his waist to Xiao Xian.
"Go to the hall and personally select two skilled workers, then go to the Music Masters' Hall to hire the one that Miss Xia likes, and send him to her before tonight." Xiahou Yu said.
Xiao Xian was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiahou Yu called him back specifically because of Xia Nian's matter.
Does he really have feelings for Xia Nian?
Xiahou Yu seemed to sense his suspicion. He sat down and pretended not to care: "She saved our goods. It's okay to help her."
Xiao Xian lowered his eyes and looked at the token in his hand: Even the token has been used, and it’s still nothing?
He nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Xian was extremely efficient and sent the person over before the sun went down.
Xia Nian was practicing dancing in the store. She was wearing a thin training suit and was a little surprised to see someone coming.
"Why is Mr. Xiao here?" Xia Nian wiped the sweat from his face and walked up to him.
Her cheeks were rosy, her figure was graceful, and her black hair was tied into a bun. She looked much more playful than usual, and the sense of distance was reduced a lot.
Xiao Xian was too embarrassed to look at it any longer, so he stood aside and the person following him walked forward.
"Miss Xia, these are the people you asked me to find, and these are the musicians you have chosen." Xiao Xian said.
"Okay, but the musicians...we can't afford the fees now." Xia Nian said with some difficulty.
Xiao Xian shook his head: "No need for the girl, this is..."
He fell silent. To be honest, he really didn't want to say that it was Xiahou Yu's idea.
"This is what Lord Xiahou meant." Xiao Xian sighed in his heart and observed Xia Nian's reaction.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Nian's eyes, but then he immediately regained his composure.
"Is that so? Then please tell him, Young Master Xiao, that Xia Nian will personally thank him someday." Xia Nian said.
Xiao Xian didn't expect Xia Nian to be so calm. After all, the Xiahou family was powerful and wealthy, and no matter how many girls on the mainland were in love with him, Xiahou Yu just ignored them.
A glimmer of hope emerged in his heart - could it be that Xia Nian doesn't like Xia Houyu! ?
Does that prove that he still has a chance?
"Young Master Xiao? Young Master Xiao?" Xia Nian called softly. Xiao Xian came back to his senses and bowed quickly.
"Okay, these people will only come to the store during the day and return to where they should be at night." Xiao Xian said.
Xia Nian was very grateful to Xia Houyu and Xiao Xian. She looked at the people behind her and said, "Okay, thank you both, gentlemen."
"Miss Xia, you're welcome." Xiao Xian said.
The two talked for a while. Xia Nian wanted to invite him to dinner, but Xiao Xian insisted on leaving, so Xia Nian had to give up.
Xia Nian looked at the people behind her. There were five musicians, the ones she had seen in person in the afternoon, and two strong men who were there to assist her in dancing.
Just then, Meng Yin walked in from outside. She looked depressed. Seeing so many people in the hall, she didn't ask and just sat down on the bench.
"Yinyin, what's wrong with you? Young Master Xiao has brought people here, you can teach them what to do later." Xia Nian walked up to her and said.
Meng Yin looked at those people and asked in surprise, "It was done so quickly?"
Xia Nian smiled and said, "Yes, Master Xiahou helped a lot."
Meng Yin perked up when she heard this. She stood up and hooked her arms around Xia Nian's neck: "Niannian, this Xiahou Yu is not interested in you, is he?"
