This shadow guard is kinda nice

After Xiao Yichen returned to the inn, he asked Xiao Er to bring some food to the room, and he sat at the table, eating slowly.

Mo Ran knelt by the door, his gaze was always on Xiao Yichen, the master's meal is also very beautiful, he thought.

After dinner, Mo Ran cleared the table with a wink, then knelt down again, some candles were lit in the room, the candles were dimly lit, Xiao Yichen sat in front of the table with his head propped up, reading a book in his hand .

It's a travelogue, which he uses to pass the time.

In this way, one is sitting and reading, and the other is kneeling quietly, which is inexplicably harmonious.The flame burned slowly, and the oil droplets dripped and solidified on the candlestick again, like dry tears, no one cares about it anymore.

As a result, time passed quickly, and the night was a little late.

Xiao Yichen put down his book, he was a little tired, so he asked Xiao Er to bring in a bathtub and hot water.

When Xiaoer opened the door and came in, he glanced at the person kneeling beside him in surprise. He was very discerning and didn't look at it and didn't say anything. He lifted the bathtub into the side of the screen, filled it with hot water, Put another bucket of hot water aside, close the door and go out.

Xiao Yichen went to the inside of the screen, took off his clothes, stepped into the tub, and rested his head comfortably on the edge of the tub with his arms on it.

After a long time, he lazily said, "Come here."

Mo Ran didn't dare to get up, walked over on his knees, and stopped one step away from the bathtub.

"master."

Xiao Yichen didn't speak, Mo Ran lowered his brows and eyes, not daring to look around at all.

After a while, Xiao Yichen asked, "Are you aware of your mistake?"

"My subordinates are wrong."

Xiao Yichen closed his eyes, "What's wrong?"

During the few hours that Mo Ran had been kneeling just now, he had been thinking about where he was wrong, and now he finally spoke out what he had typed over and over again.

"Subordinates should not hide from the master, and should not still hide from the master when the master gives the opportunity." He looked up at the master who was leaning on the edge of the bathtub, his black hair hanging down behind him, " The subordinates should not make the master angry."

After Mo Ran finished speaking, Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, he lowered his head again, waiting for his master to deal with him.

For a long time, so long that Mo Ran thought that the master had fallen asleep, but he knew that the master hadn't.

Xiao Yichen asked lightly, "Are you willing to say it now?"

Mo Ran nodded, "Whatever the master wants to know, the subordinates will say it at any time."

Xiao Yichen laughed lowly, his voice was inexplicably low and hoarse.

"But I don't want to hear it now."

Mo Ran was stunned. When the master asked him earlier, he didn't say anything, so now the master doesn't want to listen, and it should be.

The water temperature became a bit cold, Xiao Yichen stood up, stepped out of the bucket, and brought out some splashes.

Mo Ran lowered her head even lower, not knowing where to put her eyes.

It's not that he has never served his master to take a bath, and the master has never shy away from him. There have been several times when he went out of the bath naked, but he dared not look at it every time. Clothes put on him.

Cold fingers on his chin forced him to lift his head.

His eyes widened, even though the object was asleep, it still looked magnificent.

Mo Ran's cold and white face turned red suddenly, he closed his eyes, unable to speak a word.

Xiao Yichen looked down at the man whose eyelashes could not stop trembling even with his eyes closed.

"Open your eyes."

Mo Ran opened his eyes obediently, and looked at the object at close range again, the heart in his chest was beating extremely fast, as if it was about to pop out.

He didn't care about why his heart was beating so fast. In fact, his brain was so muddled that he couldn't think about anything.

"It's not convenient for me to punish you in the inn, but it doesn't mean the matter is over, understand?"

The pain on his jaw cleared his chaotic brain, and he said with some difficulty, "This subordinate understands."

The master said the last time when he was in the palace, if he dared to hide it again, he would go away and be punished, but he still didn't have a long memory, he still lied, and he should be punished if he made a mistake.

"When you return to Prince Xuan's mansion, come to me to receive the punishment yourself."

Mo Ran shivered, "Yes."

Xiao Yichen let go of his chin, leaving a few bright red fingerprints on his white and thin chin.

Mo Ran got up slightly staggeringly, took the inner coat that was put aside, and helped him put it on.

"Go and kneel, kneel until I am satisfied."

"Yes."

Mo Ran watched him fall asleep, put down the curtain, stepped back very lightly, and pushed open the door of the next room. It was pitch black, only a little moonlight shining through the window.

Facing the moonlight, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

……

The next day, Mo Ran knelt in the room with the door tightly closed. He listened intently to the master in the next room getting up and washing his hands, until he went out, passed the room, and walked away without stopping. The footsteps stopped. Can't hear it.

He seemed to have lost all his strength, his face was slightly depressed, but his body was still kneeling straight.

Xiao Yichen went to the martial arts arena, Ren Mingfeng had already arrived, he looked at Chen Ling alone, his eyes glanced back, but he didn't see anyone.

Xiao Yichen sat in yesterday's seat, "Don't look, I'm not here."

Ren Mingfeng snorted, he wanted to ask Mo Ran why he didn't come, but then he thought, maybe he has something to do, if he didn't come, he didn't come, it's not a big deal.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, he was too lazy to explain why Mo Ran didn't come, he looked around rather bored, his eyes turned to the place where King Cheng was sitting yesterday, it was empty.

If I had known that he hadn't come, I wouldn't have been easy to tolerate, what a trouble.

There was nothing exciting about the competition in the morning, Xiao Yichen looked drowsy, the only thing that made him sober was a fourteen or fifteen year old boy in brocade clothes standing on the high platform, his spirits were high.

Xiao Yichen fixed his eyes and smiled, it was Jiang Yujin.

When he was in the brothel that day, he was wearing women's clothes, but now he was wearing men's clothes, with a youthful look on his brows.

While watching him fighting on the stage, Xiao Yichen listened to Ren Mingfeng whispering to Yi Linglong beside him that this was the only apprentice of the genius doctor.

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile, no wonder he thought the name was a bit familiar that day, it turned out to be the disciple of the genius doctor.

After watching Jiang Yujin's game, after he won without a doubt, Xiao Yichen sat down for a while, then got up and left, it was really boring, it's better to just watch the next few games.

When he walked to the end of the venue, a few steps away from the exit, several people stood there, talking about something.

He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, Chu Yunhe, Jiang Yujin, Jiang Zhaohong, all here.

Jiang Yujin's eyes were sharp, he walked to the exit and was about to go out, so he called out, "Chen Ling."

Among the unique voices of children and teenagers, there is joy that cannot be concealed.

Xiao Yichen wanted to help his forehead, is the disguise technique so bad?One or two, all of them were recognized by him.

He pretended he didn't hear it, and walked out of the arena non-stop. Before taking two steps, his sleeve was grabbed from behind, and he knew who it was without even thinking about it.

Jiang Yujin just glanced casually and saw this guy. After leaving the brothel that night, he didn't expect to see him here, so he yelled out without thinking.

Maybe the other party didn't hear it, and continued to walk out, but he chased him out without thinking, and grabbed the other party's sleeve.

Xiao Yichen turned around and shook the sleeve that he held in his hand, "Little kid, did you admit the wrong person?"

Jiang Yujin was stunned, with an ordinary face, it was not Chen Ling at all.

But the back is the same, he won't admit it.

Jiang Zhaohong walked over at the right time, and said to Jiang Yujin rather sternly, "Yujin, let go, what is it like to grab someone's sleeve?"

Jiang Yujin didn't let him go, he couldn't tell Jiang Zhaohong that he was brought out of a brothel by Chen Ling that day, it was too embarrassing.

Do you still want the title of disciple of his genius doctor?

"Uncle Jiang, I know him." Jiang Yujin looked at Chen Ling stubbornly, and said to Jiang Zhaohong.

Only Chen Ling would say that he was a child in such a tone, and he would not let go.

"This..." Jiang Zhaohong looked at Xiao Yichen apologetically.

Xiao Yichen smiled, sure enough children are the most annoying.

"I'm Chen Ling," he admitted, "Can you let me go?"

Jiang Yujin was happy, and let go of his hand holding his sleeve, he said that this was Chen Ling, how could he admit his mistake.

"Why are you changing your face? You used to be so good-looking, but now this skin is too ugly." Jiang Yujin disliked it.

Jiang Zhaohong didn't apologize now, instead he looked at him in surprise, with a sense of scrutiny, even Chu Yunhe came over.

Xiao Yichen told himself to smile, don't get angry with a child.

"Hiding enemies, if he recognizes you, it will be very miserable." He said nonsense.

Jiang Yujin seemed to understand, "You still have enemies?

Xiao Yichen: "..."

"Tell me who it is, and I'll help you deal with him."

Jiang Yujin was excited and happened to return the favor.

Xiao Yichen was speechless, how could this poor kid be so good at focusing on the key points.

With a slumped face, "I can deal with it myself, and you don't need a child to do it."

Jiang Yujin was angry, he was underestimated, he is very powerful, okay?The poison was scattered all over the sky, and any master had to lie on his stomach.

"you……"

He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Chu Yunhe.

"Yu Jin,"

Obviously the tone was not very harsh, even flat, but Jiang Yujin let out a groan, and shut up obediently.

Xiao Yichen secretly praised himself for being so obedient.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered the one at home. He was still kneeling, and he was not obedient, but it was always annoying. He turned his head slightly, and focused on the source of the anger.

He saw Mo Ran's gaffe yesterday. After so many years, he chose to hide it from him for the sake of the man in front of him.

Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other.

Chu Yunhe's eyes were deep, and with a glance yesterday, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not simple, and he even had a similar kind of person, even though he had an ordinary face.

Just now Yu Jin said that he has changed his face, is he hiding from someone?

Without warning, he suddenly thought of the man in black who was following Chen Ling yesterday, and the man who was looking at him in the restaurant that day.

Two faces with no common features and identical body shapes merged into one in his mind.

It should be the same person.

"Chen Ling?" Chu Yunhe spoke first.

Xiao Yichen smiled casually, "Yes."

"Fate? The surname is Chu." Chu Yunhe's eyes were full of playfulness.

"It's a coincidence."

Fate is a ghost, it was just a random name at the beginning, who knows that he is standing here with Chu Yunhe and talking nonsense.

Yes, both of them are surnamed Chu, Jiang Yujin looked at Jiang Zhaohong, and suddenly smiled.

It's a coincidence that two surnames are Chu and two are surnamed Jiang.
