A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

Chapter 151

“You...are you joking with me?” Xiao Han had an incredulous look on her face.

She was a man in Xiao Zimo's eyes before. He had just found out last night that she was a girl. Was he asking her to marry him today??

Was he that eager to find someone to get married to?

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Xiao Zimo said seriously.

Xiao Han had no idea that Xiao Zimo's mood last night was like a rollercoaster ride.

At one point, he couldn't even figure out if he liked men or women.

Although he had barely convinced himself that he had feelings for a man, when he found out Xiao Han was a girl, he felt happy subconsciously.

He spent the whole night thinking about everything that had happened between him and Xiao Han over the past month.

Not until this morning when he saw Xiao Han take off her hair band and her dark silky hair tumbled down, did he realize that actually, the one he liked was not a man.

But he liked Xiao Han as a person!

He liked her kindness and sincerity, liked her ever-optimistic and upbeat manner no matter what happened, liked her easy-going and chatty side, and liked her occasionally funny and cute antics.

Not just liking her, he also greatly admired her.

Xiao Han walked over and earnestly advised, "Xiao Zimo, are you alright? Even if you want to find someone to marry, you can't be so casual about it!"

Xiao Han felt that Xiao Zimo made this request probably because she had said before that she didn't mind his disabled leg.

Given his condition, it was indeed possible that no girl here would be willing to marry him.

After all...with the way he was, whether or not he could perform was still a question.

Xiao Han looked him up and down and said again, "I don't mind your leg, but we don't have any feelings for each other!"

There was a flash of darkness in Xiao Zimo's eyes, as if her words had hurt him. "Do you think I asked you to marry me because you don't mind my leg?"

"Isn't that the reason? There are so many girls in the world, you don't have to be in such a hurry!"

"No!" Xiao Zimo wheeled his wheelchair closer to her. "Xiao Han, I asked you to marry me because...I like you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Hahaha, Xiao Zimo, what kind of joke is this? You only found out last night that I was a girl. How could you possibly like me?"

Xiao Zimo had a solemn and earnest expression. "It wasn't just last night that I started liking you!"

The smile on Xiao Han's face froze instantly. "What did you say? What do you mean?"

"I don't even know when it started, but I had this different feeling towards you. You might find this far-fetched, but even when you were dressed as a man, I had that kind of feeling for you."

Xiao Han was shocked, her mouth agape. "Xiao Zimo, you're a pervert! I was a man in your eyes before!"

"Yes." Xiao Zimo lowered his eyes. "I also thought...I really was a cut-sleeve admirer..."

"You, you, you... Stop! Let me digest this properly first, okay?"

Xiao Zimo's words were somewhat hard for Xiao Han to accept all at once. She was a little flustered and was about to leave.

But her hand was grabbed by Xiao Zimo in a timely manner.

Xiao Han froze in surprise and turned to see Xiao Zimo's gentle eyes like water. Her heart inexplicably started beating faster.

"Xiao Han, I'm serious."

Xiao Han's heart lurched. Xiao Zimo was so straightforward that she didn't know how to handle it at all. Even her fingers held by Xiao Zimo felt tingly.

"Oh no! This is bad!" Liu Yan rushed in hurriedly. Seeing the somewhat intimate atmosphere between Xiao Zimo and Xiao Han, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

Xiao Zimo let go of Xiao Han's hand in a timely manner.

"What happened?" Xiao Han was just worrying that no one would come to rescue her, so she immediately asked.

"Young Master Yuan is fighting some men in black outside the quarantine shed!" Liu Yan quickly explained.

"What men in black?"

"They should be outsiders. I don't recognize them either. They insisted on forcing their way into the quarantine shed, so they started fighting with Young Master Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han figured that it might be Shen Shen and the others who had arrived.

"I'll go out and take a look!" With that, Xiao Han rushed outside immediately.

Liu Yan took a look at Xiao Zimo, then ran out after her.

Xiao Zimo was also going to go out, but his eyes suddenly landed on the paper ball Xiao Han had thrown on the table earlier.

He reached out and picked up the crumpled paper ball, slowly smoothed it out.

The three words "Xiao Zimo" came into view.

There was a flicker in Xiao Zimo's eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. He neatly folded the paper and put it in his pocket, close to his heart.

He didn't show any romantic interest towards Xiao Han before because he thought she was a man. Even when he convinced himself that he was a cut-sleeve admirer, he only wanted Xiao Han to stay by his side and never thought of doing anything to her.

But now that Xiao Han turned out to be a girl, he would naturally try his best to pursue her affection.

Outside the quarantine shed.

Yuan Zhan was wielding a sword, confrontating two men in black.

"I told you there are only plague patients inside. Why do you still insist on breaking in? Who exactly are you people?!" Yuan Zhan asked sternly.

Just then, two more men in black came over, pushing Xiao Qi in front of them. Xiao Qi's face was also bruised.

"Take us to see Old Master Xiao, or else he dies!" One man in black held a sword against Xiao Qi's neck.

When Xiao Han and Liu Yan came out, they happened to see this scene.

Only then did Xiao Han realize that these people were not Shen Shen and the others, but had obviously come with ill intentions.

"Hurry, take them to see my grandfather!" Xiao Qi had suffered serious injuries and immediately shouted at Xiao Han: "My grandfather has lived here for decades. He may know the whereabouts of that treasure map!"

Xiao Han frowned. These people had come for the treasure map!

"No need to meet him." Xiao Zimo's voice rang out.

Everyone looked in to see Xiao Zimo wheeling himself out.

"Young Master, these people seem to have come for the treasure map!" Yuan Zhan immediately went to Xiao Zimo's side.

"I have the treasure map with me. Let him go." Xiao Zimo looked at Xiao Qi.

The men in black exchanged glances, unsure if what Xiao Zimo said was true or not.

According to the information they got, the treasure map had appeared in Lianhua Village before. So when they arrived at Lianhua Village, they captured Xiao Qi from the Xiao family, the most prestigious family that had lived in Lianhua Village the longest.

Xiao Zimo took out the treasure map from his pocket. "Let him go and the treasure map is yours."

The men in black exchanged glances again. Now that they had found the treasure map, Xiao Qi was of no use to them anymore. One of them immediately pushed Xiao Qi over.

Seeing this, Xiao Han rushed up anxiously and pulled Xiao Zimo's arm. She whispered, "Xiao Zimo, you can't give them the treasure map! You said just now that you'd give it to me!"

Xiao Zimo looked at Xiao Han and said unhurriedly, "What I said was that if you fulfill your promise and marry me, I'll give it to you."

"..."

"But you didn't agree to marry me."

"Are you playing with me for real? Xiao Zimo, there are so many girls in the world, why must you marry me?"

"I said, I like you."

"..."
