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

"Anian, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Xiahou Yu asked.

Xia Nian sighed, moved his still sore shoulders, and said, "Not today, I want to rest."

Xiahou Yu pulled her up and reached out to pull the clothes off her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Xia Nian was shocked by his actions and looked at him in disbelief.

Xiahou Yu looked innocent: "Ah, didn't Anian say he wanted to rest? I was worried that it would be difficult for you to take off your clothes, so I wanted to help you..."

His expression became aggrieved, as if he was hurt by her look.

"Do you think I would force you without your permission?"

Realizing that he was wrong, Xia Nian had to say softly, "I didn't, you should have told me."

"Ah Nian." He blinked, "It's obviously you who misunderstood me."

Xia Nian was speechless for a moment. She really had no idea what to do with him.

"Okay, then I won't misunderstand you anymore, okay?" she compromised.

"No." Xiahou Yu leaned his head against her neck, "Unless Ah Nian promises me that every night from now on..."

"Stop!" Xia Nian pushed him away, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "One kiss every night, that's it. Stop it."

Xiahou Yu smiled cunningly and started to act arrogantly again. He picked up Xia Nian, put her on the table, and held her in his arms with his hands on the edge of the table.

"Ah Nian, I'm not making a fuss."

It was drizzling outside again. When Yiqing arrived at Tao Tao's room, she was still reading a medical book.

"Aqing, you're here?" Tao Tao heard footsteps, looked up and smiled at him.

Yiqing took her hand and sat down. When he saw the medical book on the table, he immediately covered it.

"A Tao, reading at night hurts your eyes," he said.

Tao Tao smelled the scent of soapberry on him, thinking it was from his bath. Yiqing had his hair loose, and he looked much better in temper, not as rebellious as before.

"Well, that... Aqing, which city is the Qianji Sect located in?" she asked with pretended curiosity.

"White Tiger City." Yi Qing said. He held her hand tightly, his eyebrows bright with joy. "A Tao, are you envious of Miss Xu and Pei Xuanxi getting married? Then after they get married, let's get married too!"

He didn't expect Pei Xuanxi to act so quickly, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Tao Tao was stunned and shook her head subconsciously: "No, no, I'm just curious, because I heard Ah Zheng say today that Wanxiang Building is in Xuanwu City, so I wanted to ask."

To be honest, she was still confused and afraid when it came to getting married. She became an orphan when she was a child because of her parents' unhappy marriage. Fortunately, she met Xia Nian and the other two, otherwise she would have died helplessly in that secluded apartment.

Because of her unscrupulous domestic violence father, her mother abandoned her and ran away. He was judged by the Child Protection Association to be unable to raise a child normally, so Tao Tao was sent to an orphanage.

She was extremely scared, but fortunately she met three good friends on the first day, namely Meng Yin and her two companions. They coaxed her to sleep, taught her how to fold her quilt, and told her that the four of them would be best friends from now on.

The man locked her up in the apartment on the pretext of taking her out for dinner, and then he sat beside her drinking and beat her afterward. When she collapsed in despair, Xia Nian and two other people rushed in with a group of adults.

The man went to prison, and she didn't know what happened to him. She only knew that she finally escaped from hell.

But subconsciously, she still has some fear of marriage.

Seeing her timid look, Yiqing called softly, "A Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Tao came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, I just thought of other things."

"Atao, you... don't want to marry me?" Yiqing asked tentatively.

Tao Tao clearly saw the hurt in his eyes, so she pulled her hand out and touched his face, then told him what she was thinking.

"Aqing, don't think too much. I'm just a little afraid of marriage, but this is my own reason, not your fault." She said slowly.

Yiqing lowered his eyes, "Really?"

Tao Tao secretly cursed herself for being so stupid. Yi Qing liked her so purely, how could she always let him have wild thoughts?

"Really, really." Tao Tao said anxiously and nodded several times.

"Then Ah Tao kiss me, and I'll believe it." Yi Qing raised his eyes. Under the candlelight, his eyes were clear and his tone was coquettish.

"Ah?" Tao Tao was stunned for a moment. Yi Qing's expression suddenly became a little sad and his brows were furrowed.

Tao Tao reached out to touch his forehead and said in a coaxing tone: "A Qing, don't frown."

After that, she stood up, bent down and kissed him on the lips.

The scent of the flowers filled his nose and then shyly dissipated.

He said those words on a whim and regretted it right after he said them. He didn't expect Tao Tao to actually kiss him.

This was the second time they kissed, and just like the last time, it was fleeting, but it made both of them blush.

Tao Tao pulled her hand out, pressed it on her flushed face, and turned around embarrassedly: "Okay."

Yiqing touched his lips with his fingers, and seeing Tao Tao's red ears, the corners of his mouth curled up and he flashed in front of Tao Tao.

"A Tao, you kissed me!" he said in surprise. Tao Tao kept avoiding his gaze, and Yi Qing leaned to the left and then to the right.

"Yeah." Tao Tao couldn't avoid it, so she nodded, "I don't want you to be sad..."

"Don't be sad, don't be sad!" He picked her up and turned around the room several times, scaring Tao Tao so much that she couldn't help but exclaimed twice.

Yiqing hugged her waist tightly, their foreheads touching, and he said in a clear and pleasant voice: "A Tao, I like you so much, really."

Tao Tao hugged his neck with both hands: "Me too."

She paused, then added, "No less than yours."

Yiqing kissed her cheek lightly and said with a smile, "Nonsense, I must have had more."

Tao Tao was amused by him. Yi Qing carried her to the bed and said hesitantly, "Can I sleep here tonight?"

"Ah..." Tao Tao saw his rosy face and couldn't help pinching it, "Then Qing, just sleep here! It's a bit cold today."

Yiqing hugged her and leaned over to rub her neck several times: "Okay, I won't let Tao catch a cold."

Tao Tao hugged him back and agreed, "Yes, A-Qing is like a little stove!"

Meng Yin had just returned from outside when she saw a tall figure in the room.

Gu Ling had his back to her, facing the table, with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She rolled her eyes and walked quietly behind him, trying to scare him, but when she reached out to touch him, he grabbed her wrist.

Meng Yin was stunned. In the past, he always cooperated with her. Could something have happened?

Gu Ling turned around and looked at her with a very gloomy look, as if he had a lot of pent-up emotions.

"What's wrong?" Meng Yin asked with a smile, but she caught a glimpse of the painting on the table out of the corner of her eye.

Alarm bells went off in her heart, and she remembered that she had not accepted the painting she had given to Gu Huai!

"Gu Ling, listen to my excuse." Meng Yin blinked and stood in front of the screen. "This is what I promised Gu Huai in Zhaoding City. I forgot about it later, but now I finally remember it. I can't be a person who doesn't keep his promises, right?"

Gu Ling suddenly laughed. He held Meng Yin's wrist tightly, and with his other hand he put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Meng Yin swallowed her saliva. Gu Ling must be angry! She had to find a way to calm him down.

"You didn't keep your promise? Ah Yin is the one who didn't keep her promise to me, right?" He let go of her wrist and grabbed her chin instead. "You promised me that you only care about me."

"I care about you very much. Didn't he help me before..." Meng Yin felt insecure when he looked at her. "He was the person I met when I first came here."

"Oh...it turns out that Ayin knew him earlier than I did." He smiled and moved closer. "So I am being unreasonable now?"

"No..." Meng Yin was interrupted by Gu Ling's sudden kiss before she could finish her words.

She opened her eyes wide. Gu Ling held the back of her head tightly with great force, especially the movements of his mouth, which were full of grabbing, making her a little breathless.
