Xia Nian tucked the broken hair on her temples behind her ears: "Taozi, although I have always said not to fall in love with anyone here, feelings cannot be controlled. As long as you are willing to do it and want to do it, I will support you."

She paused and said, "Because you have been avoiding love, I am worried that you will get hurt."

Tao Tao was very grateful to Xia Nian for saying these words to her. She held Xia Nian's hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to let myself down."

She lowered her head, a little embarrassed: "And Yiqing... is really different from others."

Meng Yin laughed and said, "You're already speaking for him now. What will happen in the future?"

Tao Tao rubbed Xia Nian's arm with her head: "Hey, Yinyin, stop joking with me."

Xu Zheng looked at Tao Tao and couldn't help but say, "Hey, love really makes people feel better. When will my love come?"

The three of them were stunned and couldn't help but feel sorry for Pei Xuanxi.

After Tao Tao packed her things, Yiqing and Tao Tao went back to Yian's house together. Yian heard some noise in the yard outside and came out.

"Miss Tao, I didn't see you this afternoon and thought you had gone back." Yi An smiled gently and walked towards her.

Tao Tao calmed herself down. Now was the time for her endurance to come into play.

She smiled and said, "I went to play with Nian Nian and the others this afternoon. Yi An, how is your injury?"

Yi An moved his shoulders, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them: "Fortunately, it's almost healed."

Tao Tao smiled with her eyebrows curved: "That's good. It's late now, go and rest."

Yi An nodded and looked at Yi Qing: "Why does Qing want to sleep with me tonight?"

Yiqing looked at him provocatively: "Why, you don't want to?"

Yi An shook his head: "Of course I don't mean that. Ah Qing can come whenever she wants."

Yiqing approached him with a cold look in his eyes: "Don't call me Ah Qing, I find it disgusting."

Yian was stunned for a moment and sneered in his heart.

He suddenly held his chest, coughed violently a few times, and said weakly: "Oh, Ah Qing's internal strength is indeed deep."

Yi Qing was holding him down, he didn’t even use any internal energy just now, okay?

This look was obviously just for Tao Tao to see.

Tao Tao watched their every move with a calm expression. If it were in the past, she might have really misunderstood.

But now, for the sake of show...

"Yiqing, what are you doing?" She put on a blaming expression and ran forward to support Yian.

"I..." Yiqing looked at her incredulously, "I didn't do anything at all."

Tao Tao glared at him: "Then how did Yi An get hurt?"

"Do you believe him or me?" Yi Qing's chest heaved with anger and his hands clenched.

Tao Tao swallowed her saliva. Why did Yi Qing look so angry? Didn't he see that she was acting?

"Yi'an is your second uncle, isn't it normal for him to call you Aqing?" Tao Tao said, looking at Yi'an with a worried look on her face.

"Yian, are you okay?"

Yi An waved his hand: "It's okay, Miss Tao, don't blame A Qing, he is just young and ignorant."

Tao Tao curled her lips: "Being young is not an excuse."

Seeing that Yiqing was about to get angry again, Tao Tao quickly said, "Yian, I'll help you go back and rest."

"Thank you, Miss Tao." Yi An said softly, and before leaving, he gave Yi Qing a joking look.

Yi Qing was furious. He tended to lose his mind when it came to Tao Tao. He didn't understand why Tao Tao stood on his side even though she knew who Yi An was.

He sat in Tao Tao's room, ready to wait for her to come back and ask her questions.

The door was pushed open and Tao Tao walked in.

Yiqing stood up immediately, pulled Tao Tao, slammed the door shut, and put his hands on the door, holding Tao Tao in his arms.

Tao Tao was confused by his series of actions. She blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing her so innocent and ignorant, Yiqing's anger subsided a little, but he still felt uncomfortable.

"Why...why are you speaking for Yi'an?" he asked with an unhappy tone.

Tao Tao looked at him helplessly: "I was just acting, so that he wouldn't notice anything."

Yi Qing was stunned and said blankly: "Is that so?"

Tao Tao laughed out loud: "What else? I already know who he is, so why would I stand on his side?"

Yi Qing was still a little stunned. He lowered his eyes, looking aggrieved: "I don't care. I just don't want to see you speaking for him."

The smile in Tao Tao's eyes was about to overflow. Yiqing was like this... quite cute.

"Moreover, you helped him in front of me." Yi Qing said this in a very low voice and Tao Tao didn't hear it at all.

"What?" Tao Tao asked.

Yiqing put down his hand in a huff, turned around and said, "It's okay, go to sleep."

As he said this, he was about to walk out of the window.

Tao Tao grabbed his hand and said gently, "Ah Qing, don't be angry, okay?"

Yiqing's ears turned red instantly, he turned his head away, tears welling in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Tao Tao's heart softened and she shook his sleeve slightly with her arm: "Ah Qing, for the sake of the overall situation, don't be angry."

Yiqing's cheeks slowly turned red. This was the first time he saw Tao Tao like this.

Her eyes flickered slightly, her cheeks were rosy, and she was so small, was she acting... coquettishly towards him?

Yiqing turned around and said unnaturally but firmly: "I will not let you down for the sake of the overall situation."

Seeing that he was no longer in a bad mood, Tao Tao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, A Qing is so good to me, how can I feel wronged?"

Yiqing was somewhat dissatisfied with her tone of coaxing a child. He walked up to her, held her shoulders with both hands, and lowered his head to look her in the eye.

"I will always treat you well."

Afraid that Tao Tao wouldn't believe him, he added, "Really!"

Tao Tao frowned and couldn't help but reach out to touch his face.

His face was very hot and his skin was very white, so the blush on his face was easily visible.

Yiqing's eyes flickered, he couldn't believe that this was what Tao Tao did to him.

He stood up straight, touched his head, and turned his back: "It's getting late, Ah Tao, go to bed, I'm leaving first."

Yiqing stood on the windowsill, turned around and said, "I'm not angry anymore, go to bed early."

Tao Tao stood there and burst out laughing.

"Idiot, it's not late yet and you're still resting? It shouldn't be early."

She shook her head, and when she washed her face she realized that her face was also red and hot.

Tao Tao held her chest: She seemed to like being with Yiqing more and more.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

Yiqing returned to the room, sat on the stool, and drank a few gulps of water to calm himself down.

He was panting, his mind still on the scene of his time with Tao Tao.

Yiqing couldn't help but smile foolishly, and suddenly felt a warm current in his nose.

He touched it casually, took a look at it, and stood up immediately.

He has a nosebleed!

The next morning, Tao Tao prepared to look for Yi An.

The courtyard where she lived was not far from the house where Yiqing lived. Tao Tao took a look and found that the door was open. She thought that Yiqing had gone out.

Tao Tao didn't think much about it and soon came to Yi'an's study.

During the time she spent with Yi'an, she discovered that Yi'an basically got up very early every day, and sometimes even slept in the study.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yian said, "Come in."

Tao Tao adjusted her expression outside and pushed the door open.

Yi An saw that it was her and smiled: "Miss Tao, why are you up so early?"

Tao Tao looked at him with some concern: "I only gave him a quick check last night. How is he? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yi An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she was so worried about him. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"It's okay. Qing is a very ruthless kid. I'm used to it."

Tao Tao suppressed her inner anger and said gently: "Yiqing really needs to change his temper."

She stepped forward, "Do you want me to check it again?"

As he expected, Yi An shook his head and said, "No, I'll just take care of her for a few more days. But Miss Tao may not be willing to stay with me."

Tao Tao shook her head and said seriously: "I won't leave until your injury is healed."

Yi An looked at her twinkling eyes, unable to see any other emotions at all.

"Miss Tao...actually..." I hope you will always stay by my side.

Yi An lowered his eyes and looked at her, but didn't say anything.

Tao Tao poured a cup of tea and smiled at him with curved eyebrows.
