This shadow guard is kinda nice

Back to the palace, it was dusk, the setting sun spread the water, half hidden and half red.

"master."

Xiao Yichen was thinking about how to get Mo Ran to say what he hadn't said before, when he heard the words, he absent-mindedly responded.

"Ok?"

"This time..." Mo Ran hesitated for a while, but he still said, "What do you think about the Queen's poisoning?"

Xiao Yichen stopped, Mo Ran also stopped, Xiao Yichen looked back at him, and suddenly smiled, Mo Ran didn't know why, but also laughed.

"Let's not talk about the business, shall we?" Xiao Yichen said softly.

Mo Ran couldn't help but nodded, "Okay."

The two sat down in the nearby gazebo, Mo Ran was originally some distance away from Xiao Yichen, but under Xiao Yichen's gesture, the two sat closer, only a punch away.

It was too close, and it was hard not to make Mo Ran feel confused at this distance. He seemed to have lost his ability to think, his whole body was stiff, and he sat beside Xiao Yichen.

"I said it yesterday, do you remember?" Xiao Yichen cut to the chase, he didn't want to wait any longer, not even for a moment, he could have done it two days ago, but something like this happened, now he just wants the person in front of him to tell him personally, he That sentence that I waited for a long time.

Mo Ran nodded subconsciously, how could he forget at such a time, he was about to say what was in his heart, but was interrupted helplessly.

"Okay," Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand suddenly, and he pinched the back of Mo Ran's neck, forcing him to turn to himself with undeniable strength.Mo Ran relieved his strength and let his hands move.

The two looked at each other.

Xiao Yichen looked serious, and he said solemnly: "Mo Ran, you only have one chance, you can say whatever you think in your heart."

Xiao Yichen gave Mo Ran the only chance to take the initiative.

"Don't lie, don't pretend to be good for me, and say something against your will. I just want to hear what you think."

"Do you understand me?"

Mo Ran stared blankly at those eyes as dark as the night. He had seen them for many years and loved them for many years.

There was a heartbeat overwhelmed.

He nodded and said softly, "Understood."

His mind was blank, he didn't think about anything, only the figure of his master gradually became clear, he looked like a smile but not a smile, he focused his eyes when he lowered his head to read a book, he took care of his seriously injured self tirelessly, he sent himself close jade pendant, he hugged himself tightly...

He has seen all kinds of masters, and he only likes the master alone.

Whether he likes himself or not, he likes him willingly.

The worst result of speaking out is that you are abandoned by your master, but if you don't say it...

Don't lie, don't be self-righteous, what the master said just now is still echoing in his heart, since he promised the master, he will tell the truth, and more importantly, he doesn't want to waste the only chance the master gave him, he doesn't want to leave it to himself. It's a pity, he doesn't want to follow behind his master in the future, watching him treat others with respect.

He thought that the person closest to his master was himself.

As if he had finally made up his mind, he had the courage to do everything he could, and his nerves were stretched to the extreme.

"Subordinate... I like you."

He heard himself trembling.

The world is quiet, the lake is sparkling, the sky is full of redness, the afterglow pours down, the faces of the people reflected are so unreal, as if they are in a dream, Xiao Yichen got his wish, he raised the corners of his mouth.

That night in the back mountain of Pingyao, he gradually understood that the person in front of him was very important to him. Now, he heard this sentence with his own ears, and it was only a few months, but he seemed to have been waiting for half a lifetime.

Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with a smile, and he couldn't hide it no matter what, he said, "Say it again."

Mo Ran raised his head, maybe because he had already said it, he didn't have too many worries. This time, he looked at Xiao Yichen's black eyes, and said solemnly, "Master, this subordinate... I like you."

It's been many, many years, he added inwardly.

It's not a whim, but a long-planned plan.

Xiao Yichen pressed Mo Ran's head into his arms with force, he closed his eyes, sighed and said: "It's not in vain that I've waited for a long time, and finally I've waited for your words."

Mo Ran's eyes widened in the darkness, he listened quietly to the voice from above his head, the heartbeats of the two overlapped, Mo Ran bent his eyes.

I have been waiting for a long time...

Is the master also...

He raised his head abruptly, Xiao Yichen didn't expect him to come suddenly, and he didn't use much force in his hand, so Mo Ran easily broke away.

The two froze at the same time.

But Mo Ran didn't care too much, he was eager to verify what he thought in his heart, his eyes were as bright as stars, Yu Hui coated him with a layer of warm color, it was very beautiful.

"Is the master..."

Before Mo Ran had time to say the next words, Xiao Yichen pressed the back of his head against him, and their lips were pressed together.

Mo Ran opened his eyes, Xiao Yichen's face was so close to him, so close that he could clearly see the trembling of his eyelashes, but he didn't know how to react, he just stared blankly like this.

Until he closed his eyes with a smile.

Mo Ran closed his eyes abruptly, a blush crawled up his fair face belatedly, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Xiao Yichen pinched the back of his neck and deepened the kiss. Mo Ran's lips were soft as expected, he pried open Mo Ran's lips with ease all the way through the city, explored every corner, and the breaths of each other blended.

Mo Ran's face was flushed, Xiao Yichen smiled lightly, let go, their lips parted, Mo Ran's lips were stained with water, bright red, and looked like he had been bullied severely.

"Take a breath." Xiao Yichen reached out and rubbed his head, "Stupid."

Mo Ran lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes drifted, he didn't know where to look, he panted heavily, and took a big breath of fresh air, just now he felt as if he was about to suffocate, but it also fascinated him.

Because he kissed his beloved.

Thinking, he looked up at Xiao Yichen.

"Do you understand now?" Xiao Yichen said.

Mo Ran smiled. Not only did he kiss the one he loves, but the one he loves also has the same feelings as him.

The master likes him too.

This realization made him so excited that even the brows had a smile on his face.

His Xiao thought came true.

So no matter what the future holds, as long as the master loves him, he will have the courage to accompany him to face the world. He doesn't care what others think of him, he only cares about how the master thinks of him.

The master also loves him, and in this lifetime, he will never let go, and will not let others take up the position next to the master.

By Xiao Yichen's side, Mo Ran was the only one.

He tentatively sat forward, Xiao Yichen was very close to him, he carefully leaned his head on Xiao Yichen's shoulder, this was the only time in his life that he did this to Xiao Yichen.

But in the future, there will be more times when he can lean in Xiao Yichen's arms like this, and he can also do many things to him, because the master also likes him.

His head was buried in Xiao Yichen's arms, Xiao Yichen couldn't see his expression clearly, he just heard his muffled voice saying: "This is the first time... kissing."

The smile in Xiao Yichen's eyes deepened, he turned his head sideways, and rubbed his lips against the ink-dyed hair, it was cool and slippery, and the touch was excellent.

"Actually, no."

Mo Ran stayed in his arms, and the next moment he heard him laughing and saying: "You were injured and unconscious, no matter how much you were fed medicine, you refused to drink it, and in the end I had to come in person."

Moran buried his head deeper, as if embarrassed.

"It's taking medicine by mouth."

Mo Ran's face was hot, he was glad that the master couldn't see it, otherwise he would really be ashamed to see the master, and even asked the master to drink medicine for him...

"That was the first time we kissed."

Mo Ran's ears turned red, and after a long time, Xiao Yichen heard him hum in a low voice.

Pingyao.

Chu Yunhe rested at the inn. Later, Jiang Yujin pestered him saying that he was hungry. He looked at him for a long time without saying a word, and finally led someone downstairs, and the two sat down by the window.

Xiaoer enthusiastically asked them what to eat. Pingyao has not been like this for a long time. From the beginning of the epidemic to now, people are in panic. Fortunately, King Xuan came to Pingyao and the epidemic was brought under control. Now he is also the prefect of Ningdao Under the management of the inn, it has completely stabilized, and the common people are allowed to go out. Although the number of guests in the inn is not as many as before, at least there are already guests coming to stay in the inn.

It's getting better after all.

Chu Yunhe was silent and didn't speak a word, but Jiang Yujin chatted enthusiastically with Xiaoer. In just a short while, he had already ordered many dishes, most of which were signature dishes recommended by Xiaoer.

Chu Yunhe shook his head, he rubbed his fingers over the teacup, turned his head away, and stared at the street outside in a daze.

Jiang Yujin waved Xiao Er away, and then he noticed Chu Yunhe, "Why are you so stern when you come out? Relax."

He wanted to turn Chu Yunhe's head away so that he wouldn't look out of the window anymore, but he didn't dare, he could only glance out of the window curiously, scattered people, the streets no different from Nanchu, What is there to see?

Chu Yunhe turned his head, looked him up and down lightly, "I told you to stay in Nanchu, but you must come to Daliang with me."

Jiang Yujin chuckled twice, "I'm curious, what would it be like to be the first to meet your younger brother who makes you worry about it?"

Chu Yunhe rolled his eyes at him angrily, "I don't know what he looks like, so you'll just mess around."

"Where is it?" Jiang Yujin suddenly remembered something, and looked at him vigilantly, "You can't be the same as you were in Muye this time. You think I talk too much, so you throw me to the brothel."

Chu Yunhe laughed softly when he heard this, and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye, he paused, Jiang Yujin asked him what was wrong, he didn't speak, just looked at that person from a distance.

Ren Mingfeng and Fu Qingru came out of the room, they discussed the follow-up compensation for the patients, Fu Qingru said to send him off, Ren Mingfeng waved his hands and said no, the junior sister was still busy in the suburbs, he had to go and have a look.

Fu Qingru smiled and said, "Okay, then you go over first, and I will go over later."

Ren Mingfeng nodded and said goodbye to her. He turned around, and there was a line of sight behind him just now, and he followed it, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Chu Yunhe.

He stopped, changed direction, and walked to Chu Yunhe's table. Jiang Yujin recognized him. The new martial arts leader defeated Jiang Yang and became the youngest martial arts leader in the century.

He greeted him with a smile, Ren Mingfeng also smiled back, and then nodded to Chu Yunhe, "Too..." The next moment he thought that this is Pingyao, not Nanchu, he immediately turned his voice back, "Mr. Chu .”

Chu Yunhe nodded, "Young Master Ren."

Ren Mingfeng sat down beside Jiang Yujin, facing Chu Yunhe, "Why did Mr. Chu come to Daliang?"

Chu Yunhe didn't want to say too much, he said, "Looking for someone."

"Huh?" Ren Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, and the dignified Prince of Nanchu came to Daliang... Looking for someone? "

Why don't you believe it.The situation in Pingyao is special these days, and the Crown Prince of Nanchu came to Pingyao again at this time, what should I say...

Chu Yunhe knew what he was thinking without having to think about it. In fact, it was the same. If one day the prince of Daliang ran to his Southern Chu land without saying hello, he would also doubt his purpose.

He let him think freely, without saying anything to explain.

Jiang Yujin wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Yunhe's appearance, he shut his mouth and quietly waited for his delicious food.

"Does Emperor Chu know?" After thinking for a while, Ren Mingfeng still asked.

Chu Yunhe nodded, he knew that what Ren Mingfeng actually wanted to ask was the Emperor of Daliang, did you know?He didn't want to say too much at first, but then he thought about it, this is the leader of the martial arts alliance, maybe it doesn't mean he is well-informed?

Almost instantly, he changed his mind.

He took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, Ren Mingfeng was still thinking about how to continue the conversation, so as to see what Chu Yunhe's purpose in coming to Daliang was, when he saw the jade pendant taken out.

His gaze was naturally drawn to it.

So familiar, this was his first feeling.

"Have you ever seen Mr. Ren?"

Coming to Daliang from Southern Chu, Chu Yunhe spent a lot of energy, and finally found the person in the portrait in the village at the foot of the mountain behind Pingyao.

He was a hunter, he gave a lot of silver taels to the man, and he easily learned that the jade pendant was accidentally picked up in the snow when he went hunting in the mountains one day, the man saw that the jade pendant might be quite valuable, so he took it to the pawn shop When it is exchanged for silver.

The expected result, Chu Yunhe can't say how uncomfortable it is. After all, in the past ten years, he has been more disappointed and got used to it. It's just that this time it's closer. After all, Jiuxiao's jade pendant has been transferred to his His hand made him more convinced that Jiu Xiao was in Daliang.

"Can I take a look?" Ren Mingfeng asked, indeed he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Chu Yunhe hesitated for a moment, seeing that he was really likely to know, so he gave him the jade pendant in doubt.

Ren Mingfeng took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, the phoenix, the unique pattern, the gap...

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered.

"Ink dye."

Chu Yunhe didn't react too much when he heard the name. He just stared at Ren Mingfeng's face and asked, "Who is... Moran?"

Ren Mingfeng returned the jade pendant to him and said, "I've seen this jade pendant on him before."

"At that time, we went to Nanchu together to participate in the martial arts conference. We got along for nearly a month. I saw this jade pendant on his waist. It can't be wrong."
