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

After sending Xiahou Yu away, Xia Nian slowly walked to the yard where Meng Yin and the others were.

The three of them were playing homemade poker cards in the yard. When they saw Xia Nian coming, Meng Yin was the first to jump up and walked up to her and circled around her several times.

"Niannian, how did you feel last night?" Meng Yin leaned close to her, touched his chin and raised his eyebrows at her.

Xia Nian was stunned and asked, "Last night...how did you know?"

Meng Yin laughed out loud. When they went to find Xia Nian this morning, she was still sleeping. Because she was sleeping very deeply, they left quietly, but the ambiguous marks on Xia Nian's neck were seen by the three of them.

Seeing the three people's eyes shifted to her, Xia Nian touched her neck reflexively. Fortunately, the collar of the clothes she was wearing today was high, which could cover it.

"It must be very painful the first time. I noticed that Nian Nian walked very slowly." Tao Tao took her arm and walked to the stone table and sat down together.

Xia Nian nodded and said, "It was a little painful at the beginning, but then..."

"So what?" Meng Yin asked immediately, eyes full of anticipation.

Xia Nian poked her head with a finger in amusement: "What's there to be curious about?"

She then looked at Tao Tao: "Taozi, can you prepare some birth control pills for me?"

The three of them were shocked, and Tao Tao asked, "Don't you want to get pregnant, Nian Nian?"

Xia Nian nodded and said, "That's right. If I really get pregnant and have time to give birth to him here, then if I go back later, he will be without a mother."

She looked around at the three of them, and they all became silent. "If I don't have time to give birth to him here, and give birth to him in the real world, it will also be a blow to my career, and the child will have no father."

What she said made perfect sense, and the three of them understood.

Xia Nian is a very famous dancer. If she gets pregnant for no reason, there will be a lot of negative comments. Even if Xia Nian doesn't care about this, having a baby will be bad for her health and will seriously affect her career.

"Then we won't have any children. We've already agreed not to have any children." Meng Yin waved her hand and smiled, "It's just that I'm worried that taking birth control pills will be bad for your health. Can't you take some safety measures?"

Xia Nian said: "I have thought about this, but I am afraid that if I keep asking him to take safety measures, he will find something wrong."

Tao Tao held her wrist and said, "Don't worry, Nian Nian. I will prescribe medicine according to your physical condition. Now let me take your pulse first."

Xia Nian placed her arm on the stone table. Tao Tao placed two fingers on her pulse, thought for a moment, and said, "You feel a little cold, but it's okay. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to nourish your body. You didn't get it yesterday."

Xia Nian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." She suddenly thought of the book. Xia Houyu took things out of her room without permission, and she didn't know if he had seen the book.

Although there was nothing strange in the book, she still felt inexplicably guilty.

"Oh, Nian Nian." Meng Yin interrupted her thoughts, "I took the book that the old man gave us. Yesterday I saw a maid in your room, so I went in to get it."

She paused, stood up, ran into the house and took it out, then spread it out on the table: "I took a few glances and found something wrong."

She pointed her finger at the city name above, and the last four words turned from black to gold, standing out on the paper.

"I can guarantee that these words were not this color before." Meng Yin said affirmatively and sat down.

Xu Zheng thought about it and finally found some impression from the depths of her memory: "Yes, it's not this color! And it looks unusual when it turns into this color."

Xia Nian took a closer look and found that the four golden cities were all named after mythical beasts, including the Qinglong City that she had learned about from Xiahou Yu.

"Hey, I heard about this Xuanwu City from Pei Xuanxi. He said that Wanxiang Tower is in this city." Xu Zheng suddenly remembered and said immediately.

"Wanxiang Tower is in Xuanwu City...then the Zhanyue Pavilion behind the Xiahou family is most likely in Qinglong City." Xia Nian speculated and raised her head.

"But why did these cities suddenly change color?" Tao Tao frowned, puzzled.

"Oh, the old man doesn't even bother to talk to us in person. That's enough." Xu Zheng held her cheek with one hand, feeling a headache.

Meng Yin thought of another aspect. In the past, things that happened in a city would appear in this book only after they left that city. However, they had not yet left Taoyuan City, but the smallpox incident in Taoyuan City still appeared in the book.

An idea flashed through her mind, and she told the three people her thoughts: "Could it be... a clue? Because we helped Taoyuan City and accumulated merits, it gave us a hint."

She shifted her gaze to the book, "And this hint - is most likely about the jade slip!"

Xia Nian followed her line of thought and thought about it. It did make sense.

Their previous reports about finding the jade slip were all false news. It is not ruled out that the jade slip is in or around the sect.

"That makes sense, Yinyin, I think so too." Xia Nian said, "Ask them tonight if it is possible that the jade slip is in the city where the sect is located, and whether they have found any clues."

The three of them agreed, Meng Yin put away the book, and started shouting and playing mahjong.

An hour later, the maid knocked on the gate and said, "Ladies, it's time for dinner."

They packed up their things and went to the lobby, laughing and joking.

During the meal, several people restrained themselves from drinking and just chatted.

Pei Xuanxi looked at Xu Zheng who was playing the rock-paper-scissors game with Meng Yin. He reached out to tidy up the hair by her ears, so that she could shift her attention to himself.

"Hahahaha..." Xu Zheng laughed and turned her head to meet his tender eyes. She reached out to wipe away the tears that had flowed from the corners of her eyes due to laughing too much.

"what happened?"

Pei Xuanxi held her hand, turned to the others, and said in a gentle and powerful voice: "Everyone, let's go to Xuanwu City together in two days."

Everyone's eyes shifted to him, except Xiahou Yu, Gu Ling and Yi Qing were gritting their teeth in jealousy.

"A Zheng and I's wedding banquet will be held in Wanxiang Building." He said, looking at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then she remembered this matter, "Yes, yes."

She leaned close to Pei Xuanxi and whispered to him, "So fast?"

Pei Xuanxi asked: "Isn't A Zheng willing?"

"Not really." Xu Zheng tilted her head. She was too lazy to think about it. "Okay, okay, as long as you don't bother me."

Pei Xuanxi smiled and pinched her nose: "I won't bother A Zheng, I will prepare everything."

"Oh my God, A Zheng is getting married!" Meng Yin covered her mouth. She felt like crying.

Looking around, she discovered that the lives of the four people had undergone dramatic changes.

Originally she was a workaholic, Xu Zheng was a karate fan, Xia Nian was preparing for performances all day, and Tao Tao had already started an internship.

They have always been single, but now...

Gu Ling noticed her expression and thought she was envious of Xu Zheng, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ayin, we're not far away." Gu Ling said seriously.

"Ah?" Meng Yin turned her head, then reacted and smiled, "Oh, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Gu Ling, come to my room tonight."

Her words made Gu Ling's eyes brighten, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

After dinner, the four of them played mahjong for a while and did not return to the house until night fell.

After entering the room, Xia Nian sat on the stool, and Xia Houyu sat obediently in front of her.

"A Nian..."

"Xiahou Yu, are you going back to Qinglong City?" Xia Nian interrupted him mercilessly, to prevent him from having any bad intentions.

Xiahou Yu shook his head sadly and said, "No, I think my uncle has been buried. I will go back after I find the jade slip."

She pretended to be nonchalant and picked up the teacup beside her: "Qinglong City... is it the city where the Xiahou family is located?"

Xiahou Yu thought she was thinking about their future, and he was delighted and said, "Yes, the Zhan Yue Pavilion headquarters is also there."

"Is that so?" Xia Nian took a sip of tea, and an idea slowly formed in her mind.
