Star Dome Railway: Give the man you love a home

Chapter 612 Pepper Hill x Original Heroine 22

When talking about his best friend, Jiao Qiu's squinting light golden eyes seemed to be looking at Ruan Yan, motionless, unwilling to move his gaze away even a little.

When Ruan Yan heard this, she was a little surprised. Oh, it turned out that her uncle had made progress. A close friend must be an equal. Her uncle finally didn't treat her as a child anymore.

Hearing the answer from her best friend, Ruan Yan was not 100% satisfied, but it was better than her nephew's answer.

As for the other answers, Ruan Yan actually didn't understand what they were. Four or five years ago, when she told her uncle that she liked him, she might have expected other answers, but now, she wouldn't.

She was young and frivolous at the time, and she just said it casually. But looking back now, Ruan Yan feels that there are many more important things in this world than those trivial matters.

For example, race, hatred, faith and ideals, she and her uncle are now struggling on the same path. She not only has to protect her sister Feixiao, but also Yaoqing's future, and the same goes for her uncle.

So, she must prevent that terrible future.

"My lord, please speak. I am listening." Ruan Yan added without hearing what Jiaoqiu said next.

"Well, the first time I met her was in..." Jiao Qiu still had a smile on his face, and he really told the story of Ruan Yan's past.

Jiao Qiu talked about the time when Ruan Yan grabbed his tail and wanted to ride on him, about the time when Ruan Yan planted a large field of coriander in his backyard and made a bouquet of coriander for him, and about the embarrassing things that Ruan Yan had done in the past.

When Ruan Yan heard this, the dark history that happened seemed to be just yesterday. There was no need for her uncle to describe it in such detail. Was her uncle's brain a printer? He remembered everything she said and did exactly.

Jiao Qiu had a smile on his lips. He noticed that Ruan Yan didn't want to listen but was forced to listen, and was forced to smile, so he continued to talk about Ruan Yan without changing his expression.

"She picked peach blossom petals and put them into the tea, and told me that if I drank it, I would be hers, and she would give me her life..."

As Jiao Qiu spoke, he looked at Ruan Yan without blinking, with a smiling look on his face, as if to see how long Ruan Yan could endure this.

"Stop." When Ruan Yan heard Jiao Qiu was going to tell her about such an embarrassing scene, she finally couldn't help but call for him to stop.

"Oh? Why did Miss Zuiyan call for a stop? Could it be that..." Jiaoqiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He looked at Ruan Yan as if he was expecting something.

"...No, I'm just curious whether you drank it." Ruan Yan almost felt that she was about to be exposed, so she quickly changed her words, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, using her sleeves to hide her current expression.

If Ruan Yan heard about such things happening to someone else, she would definitely find it very funny, but since Jiao Qiu was talking about her, Ruan Yan just felt uneasy.

"I drank it." Jiao Qiu continued with a smile, "When she saw that I didn't drink it, she said that she drank the tea. The words were the same. When I saw that she wanted to drink it, I snatched her teacup and drank it all."

"Then she must have ended up in the clinic." Although Ruan Yan was smiling, she felt like countless bugs were crawling on her body.

"...Her ideas are always so different." Jiao Qiu continued to talk about Ruan Yan, all the way to the time when Ruan Yan went to the battlefield and he saw her for the last time.

"It wasn't the last time, because I saw her today." Jiao Qiu looked at Ruan Yan with a different look in his eyes. "She was right in front of me, but she didn't want to recognize me, right, Miss Zuiyan?"

While saying this, Jiao Qiu looked at Ruan Yan steadily, his light golden eyes slightly widened, like two dazzling gems, seeming to sparkle with dazzling light.

"...I'm not the person you're talking about." Ruan Yan was stunned. Only now did she understand that Jiao Qiu brought up the past on purpose, but she couldn't admit it.

When he saw that Ruan Yan still looked unwilling to recognize him, a hint of hurt flashed across Jiao Qiu's light golden eyes like a meteor.

Although Jiaoqiu still had a smile on his face, it was difficult to see his true expression, as if he was shrouded in a layer of fog.

"Are you really not lying to me..." Jiao Qiu looked at Ruan Yan, his eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. In the end, he just sighed slightly, smiled and said, "Forget it, it's so late, we should go back."
