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

He called her softly, as if testing whether she was asleep or not. When he got no response, Yi An called out again, "A Tao?"

Tao Tao lay on her side, her brows relaxed, her breathing steady, as if she was soundly asleep.

Yi An looked for a while, then turned to pack his things. Tao Tao heard some rustling sounds.

"Is everything packed?" Yi An asked.

Zifei nodded and said, "You can go now, sir."

Yi An walked to the bed, let Tao Tao lean on the pillow, wrapped her in a cloak, and Tao Tao felt herself being held up.

Yi An walked out slowly, holding her in his arms.

What she didn't expect was that Yi'an actually carried her into the carriage and kept holding her in his arms without letting go for even a moment.

What road are they going to take? How can they still take a carriage?

Yi An said to the outside: "Let's go."

The sound of whips cracking was heard and the car started on the road. Tao Tao was sure that it was not the same road she had been running on before because the bumps were not too big, but it might also be because she was sitting on Yi An.

Where exactly is Tongqiu County? Tao Tao searched in her mind, but she couldn't think of this place. She couldn't help but regret that she should have looked at the map more before.

Is it Yi An's hometown? Is it a small town far away in the mountains? Then it would be much more difficult for her to escape.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao had to pay attention to her facial expression, worried that Yi An would notice something.

It's really strange. She was not good at disguising herself in the past, but today she is very good at it. Her heart doesn't beat fast and her face doesn't blush.

And Yi An was indeed looking at her all the time. In his eyes, it was such a beautiful thing to see his beloved girl sleeping in his arms. When he saw her rosy cheeks, his heart softened.

Tao Tao was still thinking when she suddenly felt a stream of hot air on her face. She clenched her hands under her cloak and tried her best to control her heartbeat.

She could feel that it was Yi An who suddenly approached her.

At this moment, if he suddenly did something, I would have to consider whether to stop him. If he knew that I poured out that bowl of soup, all the trust I had gained by pretending to be well-behaved these days would be gone.

Yi An just bent down and touched her cheek and did not do anything else. Tao Tao did not show any strangeness and even her eyelashes did not tremble.

He raised his head, leaned back on the cushion, and slightly closed his eyes.

Tao Tao didn't dare to open her eyes. Lying on her back like this, she suddenly felt sleepy.

She let herself fall asleep. She couldn't escape here. When she left, Yi'an put shackles on her feet.

It’s better to sleep for a while. If Yi An wants to do something, she will wake up as soon as he puts her down.

The carriage had a smooth journey, but it was a dark mountain road at night and from a distance, only four small flames could be seen moving up and down.

After Tao Tao fell asleep, she slept very soundly because Yi An did not move from beginning to end. When she woke up again, he did not open his eyes. From the faint white light in front of her eyes and the sound of birds outside, she could tell that it was daytime.

It wasn't surprising that Yi An didn't move her. Yi Qing had told her before that it was normal for martial artists to maintain a posture for several hours. She even joked that her hands and feet wouldn't feel numb.

Yiqing said no at the time, but later when he was meditating, he said that he felt numb and asked her to rub it to make it better. Tao Tao also went along with him and held back her laughter and took his hand.

Tao Tao felt a slight sour taste in her nose. The time they spent together in the past had now become a comfort to her when she was feeling sad.

She collected her thoughts, Yi An opened the curtain and said to the outside: "Zi Fei, how long will it take?"

Zi Fei said, "Sir, within two hours."

Yian nodded slightly, lowered the curtain, and stroked Tao Tao's cheek.

Being touched by someone she disliked, Tao Tao couldn't help but frown. Yi An saw this and murmured, "It's not very comfortable to stay in the same position for so long, right?"

He raised his arms higher, letting her lean on his chest, and took her feet off the mat, letting them hang naturally beside his legs.

This posture really made her relax a lot. Tao Tao was secretly thankful that he didn't notice anything wrong, when she suddenly felt something sticking to her head.

Yi An whispered, "A Tao, you let me know that I would also bring my beloved girl back to my hometown."

Before Yi An was adopted, he should have been in Tongqiu County. Would Ah Qing know this? Tao Tao thought. If he knew, would he guess that Yi An would bring her back here?

As she was thinking, she heard a low humming sound in her ears.

Yi An leaned his face against her soft head, humming a melodious and light tune in his throat.

There were no lyrics, just a tune, but when he hummed it it actually sounded quite interesting.

The floating melody echoed in Tao Tao's ears. She listened without any emotion in her heart.

-

Tao Tao felt herself being put on the bed, the shackles on her feet being untied and then put back on with new ones. Her fingers were so cold that she couldn't help but shrink.

She gritted her teeth in hatred. Yi'an had prepared everything long ago, whether it was the hiding place, the route, or these things.

This man was incredibly meticulous. She couldn't open her heart to him right away. She had to proceed step by step.

The door was closed. After waiting for a long time, she dared to open her eyes. In front of her was a completely unfamiliar environment.

The gauze curtains, bed sheets, quilt covers, tables, chairs and even carpets are all new.

Tao Tao turned to look at the shackles on her hands. They were thinner, lighter, and slightly longer, but the room was much bigger.

There were footsteps at the door, Tao Tao quickly closed her eyes, not knowing who came in. After a while, she smelled a sweet fragrance.

Yian walked towards her, put his hand on her forehead, then withdrew his hand and fed her a pill.

Tao Tao felt the pill melt the moment it entered her mouth. She immediately knew what it was. It was similar to nutrient solution.

After Yi An left, Tao Tao estimated the effect of the medicine and she would have to wait until night to wake up.

In the courtyard, there were five people standing behind Zifei. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, as you expected, after leaving the ten major cities, the search intensity has been reduced a lot."

Yi An nodded and said, "On weekdays, you should pay more attention in the county. If there is any situation, blow the whistle immediately."

Several people said: "Yes!"

Night fell quickly. No one knew where Yi'an had gone. There was no light in Tao Tao's room. She sat in the darkness, pulled the chain, moved to the bed, and shouted, "Yi'an! Yi'an!"

No one responded. She screamed a few times, fumbled for her whistle and blew it several times. As soon as she finished blowing, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The moment the door was pushed open, Tao Tao fell off the bed with a thud, and the chains rattled.

"A Tao!" Yi An was not expecting this, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Tao Tao grabbed his hand and asked, "Where is this? It's not the original place, right?"

Yi An comforted him, "Yes, we arrived at Tongqiu County. Because the journey was long, I was afraid that you would be tired, so I let you sleep all the way."

This is indeed the reason, Tao Tao thought.

Because the door was open, the room was a little brighter. Yi An had excellent eyesight, and when he saw Tao Tao's tearful eyes, he couldn't help feeling distressed and regretting leaving her alone in the room.

Tao Tao asked: "Why did you come here suddenly? When did you come?"

Yi An said, "We left this morning and just arrived. Are you hungry?"

As he spoke, he helped Tao Tao up, turned around and asked someone to bring food.

Tao Tao grabbed his fingers, but seemed to feel something was wrong, so she pulled his sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Don't go. I just saw something running over there... I... I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Tao." Yi An said softly, caressing her back gently, turning his head to look around, "It should be just an illusion, there is nothing."

"Really?" Tao Tao asked.

"Really." Yi An answered without any doubt.

Tao Tao withdrew her hands, placed them in front of her chest, and lowered her head slightly.

Yi An turned around to light the candle, then knelt on one knee in front of her and said, "A Tao, they have given up looking for you. We will live here from now on."
