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

It was already evening when they returned to Xiahou Mansion. They had dinner together and then went back to their rooms.

Xia Nian looked at Xia Houyu beside her. He had a smile in his eyes and looked down at her.

"Come to my room later." Xia Nian said. Seeing the hopeful look in Xia Houyu's eyes, she mercilessly broke his fantasy. "I have something to tell you. What are you thinking about?"

Xiahou Yu hugged her shoulders, moved closer, and said in surprise, "I didn't think about anything. I knew you were going to talk about serious matters. Could it be that Ah Nian was thinking about other places?"

After saying this, he blinked his pair of black and white eyes, looking quite innocent, as if Xia Nian had impure thoughts.

Xia Nian pursed her lips and looked at him. Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

-

Xia Nian returned to her original room. Everything was still there except her clothes and jewelry.

"What happened? Was we robbed?" Xia Nian muttered subconsciously.

Meng Yin suddenly jumped behind her and said with a smile: "Niannian, this was arranged when Xiahou Yu came back. Aren't you and him married? It's okay for you to live together."

She took Xia Nian's arm and raised her eyebrows: "Remember to tell us how you feel tomorrow!"

When Xia Nian saw the light in her eyes, she immediately realized that she was thinking about something sinister. She shook her head helplessly, turned around, and was pushed by Meng Yin to Xia Hou Yu's yard.

Xiahou Yu had already ordered someone to prepare hot water. The bathroom was filled with the scent of flowers. Xia Nian didn't see anyone else, so he went to take a bath first.

Finally relaxing, Xia Nian took the rose petals on the water and played with them in his hands.

With a creak, the door opened, causing Xia Nian to look towards the door. However, the door was blocked by a screen and she couldn't see clearly.

"Who?" she asked subconsciously. There was a maid guarding the door, so no one should come in.

Xiahou Yu stopped in front of the screen and said softly, "It's me, An Nian."

"Oh... go back to the room and wait for me." When Xia Nian heard that it was him, he did not feel forgiven.

Not hearing any alienation in her tone, Xiahou Yu grinned and actually took a few steps forward.

"I'll wait for Anian here," he said.

Just as he finished speaking, there were a few muffled thunders outside. Xia Nian was pulled back to his senses and shuddered subconsciously.

The room was surrounded by fog. As the windows were not closed, the wind from outside blew in and blew out many candles. The remaining candles kept swaying, and Xia Nian could clearly see the shadows on the screen floating around.

There is thunder outside now, heavy rain has just been pouring down, and there is also a strong wind blowing in through the window.

With a whoosh, all the candles were blown out and the windows closed with a snap.

"Xiahou Yu, please close the window and light the candle." Xia Nian hugged his arms unconsciously as he was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Don't be afraid, Anian." Xiahou Yu took out a tinderbox. He moved quickly, stepped over, closed the window first, and then lit the candles. The room became bright again.

The tips of his ears turned slightly red, and he glanced at the person in the bathtub. Her black hair was disheveled, and only her snow-white neck and shoulders were exposed from the upper body. What surprised Xiahou Yu was that there was no anger in Xia Nian's eyes, but she looked at him harmlessly with some surprise.

He seldom saw such a thing, and he immediately began to think of taking advantage of it.

Xia Nian glanced at him, still wearing the clothes she changed at the waterfall. Even though they were now husband and wife, she still coughed uncomfortably and said, "Wait until I'm done washing, then you can do it."

There was another thunder outside. Xiahou Yu lowered his head and said, "Ah Nian, do you want me to go back to the house and wait? But I want to stay here with you."

"Hmm?" Xia Nian looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Xiahou Yu moved slowly, speaking in a low voice, as if intoxicated by some painful memories: "When I was a child, I was often punished to practice swordplay on rainy nights. I was the only one in the whole yard. The thunder was very loud, but I couldn't stop."

He raised his eyes, and there was a faint light flashing in his dark pupils, making him look so pitiful.

"I don't want to be alone."

Xia Nian opened her lips slightly. Xiahou Yu always showed his vulnerable side in front of her without reservation, as if he completely regarded her as his home.

She slowly let go of the last bit of worry in her heart, clenched her hands into fists under the water, and made a promise that she had no confidence in: "Xia Houyu, I won't leave you alone."

Xiahou Yu had already moved to the edge of the pool. His bangs cast a shadow that just happened to block the smirk in his eyes. He said, "Then I'll stay here with you, okay? Ah Nian."

Xia Nian felt sorry for his situation, she nodded: "Okay, then go behind the screen, I just happen to have something to say to you."

Xiahou Yu nodded obediently, but when he turned around, he pretended to slip and fell into the water with a splash. Xia Nian was so scared that she immediately stepped forward to help him.

"How is it?" Xia Nian grabbed his arm and looked him up and down.

Xiahou Yu controlled himself very well. His hair was not wet, but his clothes were all wet.

Xia Nian had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the slight change in his expression, which meant he had succeeded.

"Xia Houyu, are you sure you are not lying to me?" She took a few steps back and asked in a deep voice.

There were drops of water on Xiahou Yu's face and rose petals on his shoulders. He shook his head harmlessly and said, "No." As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his arm and hissed softly.

Xia Nian's expression didn't change at all. Xia Hou Yu had already used this trick before, and he wanted to do it again?

Seeing that she didn't move, Xiahou Yu had to continue to exaggerate: "It should be that the injury he accidentally touched when he rescued Ah Nian a few days ago."

He pretended to be sad again: "Anian, aren't we husband and wife?"

Xia Nian had no choice but to admit defeat. She really fell for Xia Hou Yu's trick.

She stepped forward and asked Xiahou Yu to take off his clothes.

He did as he was told and took off his clothes quickly. Xia Nian looked at his perfectly shaped chest and abdominal muscles, and even her coldest self blushed.

Even though he had been practicing martial arts for a long time, his muscles were just right, not too bulky, and his skin was very white, which was more in line with Xia Nian's aesthetic.

Looking at Xiahou Yu's arm again, there was no wound at all. Before Xia Nian could say anything, he was interrupted by his words.

"Anian, we have a custom here that couples can bathe together." He said slowly, without any trace of his previous expression, with a smile in his eyes.

Xia Nian looked up at him, and their eyes met. She was not very shy. After all, they were already married and could be honest with each other.

Xiahou Yu held her shoulders and smoothed her hair behind her back. The two of them were so affectionate that even the mist that kept floating up was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity.

"Xiahou Yu..." Xia Nian leaned over and leaned lightly on his chest.

Xiahou Yu hugged her, feeling a little nervous.

Xia Nian is a modern person after all, and they haven't had their wedding night since they got married, so tonight is a good time.

Before she could speak, Xiahou Yu's big hand had already touched her cheek, with a little blush at the corners of his eyes: "Anian, we haven't..."

"I suddenly remembered something!" Xia Nian suddenly interrupted him. She vaguely guessed what Xia Hou Yu wanted to do, and she was a little afraid.

Xiahou Yu was not in a hurry. He would not do anything unless Xia Nian agreed.

"what's up?"

"It's about your uncle's death. I think there's something fishy about it." Xia Nian relaxed a little, her face became serious, and she told Xia Hou Yu her speculation.

"I understand." Xiahou Yu nodded, "It's the same as what I thought. I'm afraid the evidence has been destroyed by her."

Xia Nian comforted him, "Don't worry, if she really did it, and she didn't succeed this time, she must have other actions."

He hugged Xia Nian tightly, and the two of them embraced each other tightly in the steamy bathtub.
