As soon as they got back, Yiqing couldn't wait to hold Tao Tao's hand and kiss her several times, but he was not satisfied yet. Tao Tao heard a message saying that it was the information her colleague had requested. After taking a shower, she went back to the bedroom with her notebook. Even the meal was brought to her by Yiqing.

Yiqing stuck to her and asked, "A Tao, which one is more important, work or me?"

Tao Tao's hands were clacking at the keyboard, and she said, "You are important."

Yiqing said: "Then don't be busy. Put your work aside now that you are home."

Tao Tao didn't reply and pretended not to hear.

Yiqing asked: "A Tao, do you know what day the day after tomorrow is?"

Tao Tao answered casually: "What day? It's not my birthday, nor is it your birthday."

Yiqing was relieved to see that she hadn't thought about it yet. Tao Tao would definitely be very happy when they went to buy the ring tomorrow.

After a while of secretly delighted imagination, he hugged Tao Tao and clung to her. Tao Tao couldn't stand it anymore and hid from him and said, "Yiqing, can you go play over there? I can't work properly if you're like this."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yiqing was petrified instantly.

He let go of Tao Tao in a daze and lay down on the bed in a daze. He felt like he was hit hard, but he still wanted Tao Tao to coax him.

As a result, Tao Tao was busy until midnight.

She stretched herself and saw Yiqing beside her without even covering herself with a blanket. She gently scolded him, "Qing, why don't you cover yourself with a blanket? What if you catch a cold?"

Yiqing didn't answer, but just hugged his knees silently, feeling very sad about her neglect.

Tao Tao was completely unaware of this. After she finished washing up, she pulled the quilt up and covered the two of them.

After lying down, Tao Tao realized that something was wrong with Yiqing. He looked at her pitifully.

"What's wrong?" Tao Tao asked, reaching out and patting his back.

Yiqing asked: "A Tao, am I your boyfriend?"

Tao Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes."

Yiqing asked: "So which is more important, a boyfriend or a job?"

Tao Tao felt that this question was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where. She said, "You are important."

Yiqing suddenly threw himself into her arms and complained, "But your work is more important than me. I've been lying down for a long time, and all you have in mind is your work."

Tao Tao held back her laughter. She had been lying there for quite some time but couldn't fall asleep.

"Okay, okay, I will pay attention next time." Tao Tao said apologetically.

Yiqing poked his head out of her arms and asked, "Really?"

Tao Tao said: "Really, it's time to go to bed." She turned off the lights and closed her eyes to rest.

Yiqing wanted to say something, but Tao Tao had already fallen asleep. She was indeed very busy these days, so Yiqing could only bury his resentment deep in his heart for a while.

But the next day, Tao Tao was still the same. Yi Qing felt helpless, remembering that Tao Tao was like this in her previous life. Maybe she really couldn't change.

On the anniversary day, he told Tao Tao to come back on time and he would wait for her at home. Tao Tao readily agreed, but something happened that day. There was a problem with the project they were researching and it needed to be carefully investigated, which meant they had to work overtime until very late.

Because Tao Tao was the backbone of this project, she was extremely dedicated and the atmosphere in the entire laboratory became serious. The only sounds were the clanging of keyboards and the clattering of equipment.

As a result, Tao Tao completely forgot the time she had agreed to meet Yi Qing, and by the time she finished her business, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

Because they had dealt with it today, and they would have holidays tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after get off work, Tao Tao remembered that Yi Qing was still waiting for her. When she went outside and saw that he didn't pick her up, she immediately wanted to get a taxi.

At this time, Brother Zhou saw that she was very anxious, so he suggested: "Taotao, let me take you back. It's not safe at night."

Tao Tao looked at the time. It was indeed inconvenient to take a taxi at this time, and Yi Qing was still waiting for her, so she had to go back quickly.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother, we...Aqing?!" Before she finished her words, she saw Yiqing walking towards her from not far away.

Tao Tao waved to him, but found that Yi Qing's face was extremely gloomy, without a smile at all, and his eyes were fixed on Brother Zhou's hand that was holding Tao Tao's arm.

Senior Brother Zhou was obviously aware of his hostility towards him and said awkwardly, "Your boyfriend is here, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he ran away like the wind.

Tao Tao walked quickly to Yiqing and asked, "Qing, why are you here? I thought you were waiting for me at home."

Yiqing looked at her for a long while, then reached out and pulled her towards the car.

Tao Tao was caught off guard and could only speed up to catch up, but Yi Qing was walking too fast and she could not keep up. She said, "Slow down, I can't keep up."

Yiqing ignored him and opened the car door to let Tao Tao get into the passenger seat.

The atmosphere in the car was a little too quiet for a moment, and Tao Tao was a little uncomfortable with it. If it were any other day, Yi Qing would have chattered with her non-stop.

She said weakly: "Well... I'm a little busy today."

Yiqing didn't answer, Tao Tao continued: "I didn't forget the time on purpose, it was because of work, and I didn't want to come."

With a sudden brake, Tao Tao fell forward and then leaned back suddenly.

When they arrived, Tao Tao went to open the door, but it was locked.

Yi Qing sneered and said, "Really? Ah Tao, did you ever reply to the message I sent you?"

Tao Tao was about to retort that she had replied, but then she realized that she had hardly looked at her phone all day. She opened it and saw that Yiqing had not replied to her message yet!

She swiped up and found that Yiqing had just started sharing his daily life with her. When she didn't come back after the time limit, he started calling her, but because she had turned on the Do Not Disturb function, she didn't answer any of the calls.

Then he asked her if she had any problems, but she still didn't reply. Yiqing seemed to know that she was fine, and finally sent a message: "Okay, don't reply to me even if you are in the laboratory."

Clearly sensing Yiqing's anger, Tao Tao knew it was her fault and quickly tried to comfort him: "I was too busy today. I forgot the time and forgot to reply to the message..."

Yiqing stared at her and said, "Did you forget? Ah Tao, you don't care about me at all. Work always comes first in your mind. You can't even find time to reply to my messages."

Tao Tao quickly explained: "No, you are definitely important to me, but you know it's easy for me to work..."

Yi Qing said, "We clearly agreed this morning that you would come back quickly in the evening. Even if you have something to say, you can tell me. Am I an outsider?"

Tao Tao lowered her head: "He's not an outsider."

Yiqing asked: "Do you remember what day it is today?"

Tao Tao frowned and thought: "Today is——"

Yi Qing said coldly: "You forgot, right? Today is our anniversary together."

"Oh." Tao Tao nodded hurriedly, "I've been so busy with work these days that I forgot about it." She looked at the time and it was already past twelve o'clock, so she had no choice but to say, "Let's make up for it during the day."

Yiqing didn't say anything. He took out an exquisite little box from his pocket and handed it directly to Tao Tao.

"This is what I prepared. Tao, I know you take your work very seriously, but can I be treated casually by you?"

There was a hint of crying in his tone, and after he finished speaking, he got out of the car.

Tao Tao tried to catch up with him, but Yi Qing was walking so fast that Tao Tao couldn't catch up with him even if she ran.

When they got home, Yiqing locked himself in a small room. Tao Tao saw the table full of gifts and food, and she immediately regretted it, knowing that she had neglected him too much.

She tried to open the door, but Yiqing locked it from the inside.

Tao Tao knocked on the door and shouted, "Ah Qing! Ah Qing! Come out and let's talk it out. I didn't mean to ignore your message."

There was no answer from inside. Tao Tao became anxious and shouted for a while, but he still didn't open the door, so she went to look for the key.

When Yiqing inside heard the knocking stop, he looked back and turned his head away in anger.

Tao Tao was searching for the key. As she was looking, she suddenly felt her mind was a mess, as if countless rays of light were shining into her brain.

Feeling weak all over, Tao Tao sat down on the sofa, staring at the floor blankly.

Inside the house, Yiqing didn't hear any noise outside. He slowly stood up, wondering whether he should go out.

He didn't want to quarrel with Tao Tao at all, but he really couldn't stand Tao Tao ignoring him like this every time.

Outside the door, Tao Tao suddenly groaned, and Yi Qing couldn't hold back any longer and opened the door to go out.

In the living room, Tao Taowo sat in the middle of the sofa with his head lowered.

"A Tao!" Yi Qing shouted, and quickly ran to her side, "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

Tao Tao shook her head. Her tied-up hair had loosened up at some point. The seaweed-like curls blocked her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Yiqing suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "A Tao, I, I'm not angry anymore, what's wrong with you, don't scare me."

He reached out his hand for Tao Tao's back, but Tao Tao suddenly raised her head, hugged him, and buried her head in his chest.

"Aqing... Aqing, I'm sorry." Tao Tao burst into tears.

Yiqing comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I just want you to care about me more when you're not working."

Tao Tao shook her head and said, "No, something happened. I remember it now. You have done so much for me, from that world to this world, all the good luck before, I was able to study at Lorton, and you have always taken care of me and loved me. I actually ignored you because of work. I'm sorry, I won't do that again."

After Tao Tao finished speaking, Yi Qing was completely shocked. She remembered!

Yi Qing said in a trembling voice: "A Tao, A Tao, do you remember?"

Tao Tao nodded: "I remember now, I remember everything."

She tremblingly took out the box that Yiqing gave her. It was the anniversary gift he prepared for her, which contained two rings.

Tao Tao put it on Yi Qing and said with tears and laughter, "I will never forget you, Qing."

Yi Qing pursed his lips, and the anger of being ignored disappeared. He hugged Tao Tao and said, "Well, we won't be separated in the future."

Tao Tao nodded, and Yi Qing said again: "But Tao, the anniversary is gone, I want to make it up to you."

Tao Tao held his face without hesitation, kissed his lips, and said, "Is this okay?"

Yiqing threw her down on the sofa and said, "Not enough!"
