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

Xiahou Yu also nodded in agreement: "That's right, otherwise there is no way to explain where their poison comes from."

"Who is this old man Han?" Xia Nian murmured.

Meng Yin leaned close to her ear and said, "He feels like the villain of this world. He probably wants to take advantage of the situation."

Xia Nian nodded, she had the same idea.

There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and the person coming was Tao Tao.

"What happened?" Meng Yin asked.

"The bleeding has stopped. Now A Zheng is guarding Mr. Pei's bed." Tao Tao said.

Meng Yin nodded and couldn't help but lower her eyes. She saw with her own eyes the whole scene of Pei Xuanxi blocking the arrow for Xu Zheng. She still felt scared when she thought about it now.

The arrow hit Pei Xuanxi's shoulder, and Xu Zheng was just at his shoulder. If Xu Zheng was hit, the consequences would be disastrous.

"It's already late, everyone should go and rest first. Gu Ling, Yi Qing, you can stay at my house tonight." Xiahou Yu said.

"Okay." Yi Qing glanced at Tao Tao. There were still water droplets on her face. She probably just washed her face.

Gu Ling also nodded.

Meng Yin glanced at him, then stood up calmly, trying to sneak back to the yard.

"Miss Meng." Gu Ling's voice was a little cold, which made her shiver.

She stretched out her hand to ask for help, but found that Xia Nian and Tao Tao had already walked ahead, and even Xia Houyu and Yi Qing were gone.

The two of them turned around and waved at her. In the past, it was Meng Yin who made such jokes, but now it was them who made the joke. It was indeed quite funny.

Meng Yin stood there, feeling very nervous.

She turned around slowly and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Gu Ling walked closer to her: "Miss Meng is really smart. She remembered to use me as a shield when she was in danger."

Meng Yin stepped back silently: "Haha, after all, Master Gu is well-known. If others hear about it, they will definitely be scared. Isn't this accumulating merit for Master Gu?"

Merit? Gu Ling suddenly smiled, and in Meng Yin's eyes, this smile was particularly sinister and creepy.

Meng Yin swallowed and said, "What's the matter? If Master Gu doesn't want to, I will never mention your name again!"

Anyway, we still have Xiahou Yu, Pei Xuanxi and Yiqing, so it doesn't matter which one we report.

"Then who are you going to report to?" Gu Ling asked with a raised eyebrow.

Meng Yin looked at him and asked innocently, "Does Master Gu want me to be in danger?"

“……” He really didn’t want to.

Meng Yin snickered, then said seriously: "Thank you so much today. If you mind, I will definitely not sign you up next time."

Her eyes were sincere, but they made Gu Ling's face gloomy.

Meng Yin secretly observed his expression. Did she say something wrong again?

After a long while, Gu Ling finally spoke: "I didn't say you can't report it."

"Oh, so what you mean is... I can curry favor with you?" Meng Yin asked tentatively.

Gu Ling was a little confused, "Holding thighs?"

Meng Yin waved her hand: "What I mean is that you will be my backer from now on, that's what I mean."

Gu Ling's eyes suddenly flashed, and he glanced at Meng Yin. She was still secretly rejoicing that she had a powerful backer.

The corners of Gu Ling's lips curled up involuntarily, as if he was being relied upon by this little fox.

In the room——

Because Pei Xuanxi used some medicine to treat his wound, he fell asleep and is only now slowly waking up.

He slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked at Xu Zheng who was sitting beside the bed.

She had slightly curly hair, and probably because she was tired, she buried her face in her arms, and her body moved up and down evenly.

Xu Zheng woke up in shock as soon as Pei Xuanxi moved slightly.

"Pei Xuanxi, you're awake!" Xu Zheng's eyes, which were a little blurry, suddenly became bright.

"Yes." Pei Xuanxi nodded gently, "It's so late, Miss Xu, go to bed quickly, I'm fine now."

Xu Zheng shook her head vigorously, "No, I have to take care of you, do you want some water?"

"A little." Pei Xuanxi nodded and tried to sit up with his arms. Xu Zheng immediately went to help him. Her hair hung in front of his chest, and Pei Xuanxi smelled a faint floral scent.

Xu Zheng poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Pei Xuanxi's injured part was his right shoulder, and even the slightest movement of his arm would be very painful, so he could only use his left hand temporarily.

Xu Zheng saw that he was wearing a plain white shirt, his face was a little pale, and his inky black hair was scattered behind him. He looked fragile and easily broken, and she blamed herself a lot.

"Oh, it's all my fault, otherwise you wouldn't have been hurt." Xu Zheng ruffled her hair in annoyance and said in frustration.

Pei Xuanxi shook his head and put down the cup: "Don't blame Miss Xu. Now that we have caught the murderer, you ladies can have fun in Ziyang City."

Xu Zheng sat down and said, "We finally get to play, but you're injured! No, I won't go anywhere until you're healed."

Pei Xuanxi pursed his lips and said, "There's no need to bother Miss Xu with this little thing."

He observed Xu Zheng's expression calmly, and then said, "Miss Xu, don't worry too much."

Xu Zheng slammed the bed board: "Impossible, you were injured because of me, how could I just leave you alone?"

She turned her head awkwardly and said, "Besides, I don't want to owe anyone a favor."

Pei Xuanxi lowered his eyes when he heard this: "Just consider it as my own will, Miss Xu, don't mind it."

"Stop talking, stop talking. Anyway, I will take care of you!" Xu Zheng stood up and said in a domineering manner, "Lie down."

Pei Xuanxi didn't understand what was going on and slowly lay down. Xu Zheng suddenly leaned over, her hair fluttering in front of his face.

Xu Zheng just pinched his quilt, clapped her hands, looked at him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll sleep next door tonight, call me if you have any problems."

After saying that, she tiptoed out quietly and closed the door gently.

Pei Xuanxi was still a little dazed. It was the first time he saw Xu Zheng being so gentle.

Is it because of guilt? Pei Xuanxi lowered his eyes and thought.

The fragrance of Xu Zheng's hair seemed to still linger around him, and the tips of his ears turned red involuntarily.

He originally wanted to trick Xu Zheng into staying with him when he was injured, but he didn't expect her to be so righteous and insist on taking care of him.

Pei Xuanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. A Zheng was so kind and upright that she made him look particularly scheming.

Of course he won't change.

Thinking of how anxious she was when she saw him injured, Pei Xuanxi was glad that she was not the one injured.

He had lived for more than twenty years, and this was the first time he wanted to protect someone like this.

-

Meng Yin chatted with Gu Ling for a while. She suddenly remembered what she had heard Gu Huai say before and hesitated whether to ask Gu Ling.

At this time they had already reached the small garden outside the inner courtyard.

Seeing Meng Yin's hesitation, Gu Ling said, "Don't hesitate to ask anything."

Meng Yin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Um, Mr. Gu..."

"Call me Gu Ling."

"...Gu Ling, do you and Gu Huai have any conflicts?" Meng Yin asked, mustering up her courage.

If there is any misunderstanding between the two of them, as long as this misunderstanding is resolved, will Gu Huai not turn evil?

Meng Yin thought she was really smart.

Gu Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her: "There is a contradiction, and it cannot be reconciled."

Meng Yin: “…”

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Meng Yin waved her hand.

Gu Ling nodded, wanting to wait for her to return to the room before leaving.

Meng Yin walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and smiled brightly: "Good night, Gu Ling."

Before Gu Ling could react, Meng Yin quickly slipped back into the room.

Gu Ling pursed his lips and uttered two words: "Good night?"
