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

"What did you call me just now?" Yiqing moved closer to her, the joy in his tone obvious.

Tao Tao blushed and said, "That's not the point. The point is that I have an idea."

Seeing that she was sobbing and speaking at the same time, Yiqing decided not to ask this question first and pulled her to sit down: "What do you think?"

Tao Tao wiped away her tears and asked, "Was he the mastermind behind the bombing of the bridge?"

Yiqing shook his head: "It must be related to him, but we don't know if he is the mastermind. If he is, we can't imagine his purpose."

Tao Tao lowered his head: "The bridge was blown up and he himself was injured. Is it to clear himself of suspicion?"

"This is what we are confused about. Based on my understanding of him, he will not allow himself to be involved." Yiqing said, frowning.

Tao Tao wiped away her tears, feeling sad and angry: "If he was not the mastermind, why did he ask me to go to the bridge and let Nian Nian and Yin Yin get hurt!"

Her eyes flickered slightly, and a chill ran down her spine: "Could it be that his purpose is... Nian Nian, Yin Yin and the others, as well as A Zheng, she just luckily didn't come to the bridge!"

Yiqing nodded: "It's possible."

But he did save Tao Tao, so did he really have feelings for her? That would be bad! Yi Qing gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the sword handle.

People like Yi An will not give up until they get him.

Tao Tao was just annoyed that she was too stupid and almost got Nian Nian and Yin Yin into trouble. Seeing Yi Qing's serious expression, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him: "Yi Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Yiqing came back to his senses, grabbed her moving hand, and rubbed his fingers on the back of her hand: "It's okay, why don't you call me Ah Qing?"

Tao Tao's pretty face turned red, and she glared at him embarrassedly: "I won't shout."

Yiqing looked at her cute appearance, and his heart softened. He asked, "A Tao, what idea did you come up with?"

Tao Tao said: "I'll tell you tonight."

Yiqing frowned: "Why?"

Tao Tao smiled, her eyes firm: "Because this matter cannot be known only by the two of us."

Yiqing chuckled and nodded: "Okay."

Tao Tao looked at his handsome face and thought about how much he had done for her, and something in her heart was touched.

She pulled Yiqing's finger and said softly, "Yiqing, I'm hungry."

Yiqing stood up and said, "Let's go and get you something to eat."

Tao Tao caught a glimpse of the two people holding hands, the corners of her mouth curled up, and the haze in her heart finally dissipated a little.

But she would never forgive Yi An. No matter what his position or purpose was, she would never consider him a friend.

In the evening, Tao Tao and Yi Qing returned to Xiahou Mansion together.

She went back to the yard to find her three sisters first, while Yiqing went to talk to Xiahou Yu and the other two about Yi'an.

"Taozi, you're back!" Meng Yin heard the door open and saw Tao Tao. She was happy at first, and then hurried forward to check on her.

Xia Nian and Xu Zheng also ran forward. Tao Tao felt warm in her heart and said, "I'm fine."

After she finished speaking, she looked around at the three of them. Seeing how they were worried about her, her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh my god, Taozi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Meng Yin was startled and quickly comforted her.

"Did something happen?" Xia Nian stroked her back gently, feeling heartbroken.

Tao Tao sobbed and said, "It's all my fault. If I had found out who Yi An was earlier, I wouldn't have let you get hurt."

The three of them looked at each other and hurried to comfort her:

"Oh, who knew he was so good at pretending?"

"It's not your fault. He was the first person you met when we came to this world. It's hard not to believe him."

"It's okay! At worst I can beat him up to vent your anger! He dared to lie to our Taozi, he must be tired of living!"

Tao Tao was amused by them and threw herself into Xia Nian's arms and wiped her tears.

Xia Nian felt distressed and helpless. He reached out and touched Tao Tao's soft hair and said, "It seems that I don't need to take a bath tonight."

"Niannian!" Tao Tao raised her bright eyes. She looked a little embarrassed on the surface, but she was deeply moved in her heart.

No matter what, they will always be their strongest support.

The three men pulled Tao Tao to sit down, and Tao Tao told them about Yi Qing's plan.

"Oh my god, Yiqing is really good. He seems to have a bad temper most of the time, but he can keep his composure when things get serious." Xu Zheng sighed.

Xia Nian remembered what Xia Houyu said last night and nodded, "After all, he is the chosen heir, not without reason."

After saying that, she looked at Tao Tao: "Taozi, do you have any ideas?"

Tao Tao nodded and stood up: "Let's talk to them together."

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Okay."

When we arrived at the outer courtyard, the main hall was brightly lit with candles, and we must have Xiahou Yu and the other three inside.

The four knocked on the door and walked in.

When Xiahou Yu saw Xia Nian coming, he immediately stood up and gave her his seat.

"Atao, don't go to Yian's place tonight." Yiqing pulled Tao Tao over and said.

Tao Tao shook her head. She looked around at everyone and said firmly, "No, I should continue to stay with him."

Yiqing was puzzled: "Why? It's not safe to be around him."

Xia Nian understood Tao Tao's thoughts and took over the conversation, saying, "Taozi is worried... Will Yi An be suspicious?"

Tao Tao nodded and said, "Now that we know that Yi An is related to Wu Shan's disappearance, we should stay by his side, otherwise he will be suspicious."

Yiqing objected immediately. He pulled Tao Tao's shoulders and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to be around him. I won't agree to it!"

"Yiqing, don't worry, he won't do anything to me." Tao Tao reached out and held his wrist, comforting him softly.

Xia Nian's eyes moved between the two of them, and her heart trembled:

Tao Tao seems to treat Yi Qing... differently.

"But..." Yiqing still wanted to object.

"Besides, won't you send someone to protect me?" Tao Tao interrupted him and said with a smile.

Her eyes were firm and without any fear, and she had obviously made up her mind. Yi Qing lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Okay, I will come to see you often."

Tao Tao nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aqing."

The two turned around and sat down, only to find that everyone in the room was staring at them.

"Hehe, Young Master Yi is very considerate." Pei Xuanxi said with a smile.

Aunt Meng Yin laughed for a long time. She covered her mouth and said to Xu Zheng, "Taozi seems to be in love!"

Xu Zheng nodded: "Taozi treats Yi Qing differently from other men."

Xia Nian looked at Tao Tao. Even A Zheng saw it, so didn’t Tao Tao herself realize it?

Yiqing had excellent hearing and heard the conversation between Xu Zheng and Meng Yin immediately.

He didn't understand what love meant, but he understood what Xu Zheng said.

Tao Tao treats him differently from others, and he is different in Tao Tao's heart!

Thinking of this, Yiqing looked at Tao Tao's gentle profile with some excitement. She was sitting obediently with her head lowered, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her hands folded on her legs.

"Mr. Xiahou, have you started dealing with the matter of Wushan?" Xia Nian brought the topic back on track.

Xiahou Yu looked at her and said with a smile: "Now that I know Yi An is involved in this matter, I naturally have to start with him."

Yiqing smiled contemptuously: "That's right."

-

Tao Tao still had to go back to Yi'an's house tonight, so she went back to the yard with the four of them first, planning to get some clothes to change into.

Seeing that she had taken it, Xia Nian stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Taozi, I have a question for you."

"Oh, okay." Tao Tao nodded and sat on the stone bench with Xia Nian.

Xu Zheng and Meng Yin also sat down.

"Taozi, tell me the truth, are you in love with Yiqing?" Xia Nian asked directly.

Tao Tao was stunned, and then her cheeks turned visibly red. Seeing this, Xia Nian sighed in his heart.

"Really?" she asked softly.

Tao Tao bit her lip and said, "I don't know either... I..."

"Hey, Taozi, it's okay if you like him. At most you can just have a romance here." Meng Yin waved her hands and said comfortingly.

Tao Tao shook her head: "I don't want to be careless about the relationship. In my heart, Yiqing is really different from other men. If I really get together with him, I don't want it to end in failure, and I don't want to make him sad because I leave here later."

Meng Yin and Xia Nian looked at each other and were almost certain that Tao Tao fell in love with Yi Qing.

From her words, we can tell that Tao Tao is just worried that they are not from the same world and their love will not have any result.

"Taozi, you definitely like him!" Meng Yin said affirmatively.

Tao Tao sighed: "Well... I just don't dare to admit it."
