Star Dome Railway: Give the man you love a home

Chapter 694 Pepper Hill x Original Heroine 104

Ruan Yan holds a military rank and holds an important position in Luofu. There are relevant military laws for the crime of defamation.

The day before Ruan Yan and Jiao Qiu set out for Yougu together, Jiao Qiu took Ruan Yan to the back mountain, where there was a large peach forest that Jiao Qiu had planted himself.

The peach forest is lush and green, with flourishing branches and leaves. The white ones are as pure as snowflakes, and the pink ones are as gorgeous as the sunset. This ultimate beauty is like a beautiful painting.

"It's not spring yet, why are all the peach blossoms in full bloom?" Ruan Yan looked at the large peach forest in full bloom. She was happy and curious when she asked Jiaoqiu beside her.

"It's just that some special means were used." Jiao Qiu glanced at Ruan Yan beside him, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his lips, and continued, "I wanted to bring you here next year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but there is no need now."

"Why is it not needed anymore?" Ruan Yan, who knew what Jiao Qiu was going to do next, asked with a smile.

"Yan'er, do you still remember your confession to me five years ago?"

Jiao Qiu did not answer Ruan Yan's question, but smiled and looked into the distance. His light golden eyes seemed a little dazed, as if he was lost in some distant thoughts.

"That was all because I was young and ignorant. Don't take the past to heart."

Ruan Yan did feel that she was a little bit mischievous at that time. She was not even an adult yet she dared to confess her love to her uncle.

"You want me to not take it to heart? What if I take it to heart?"

"In fact, I couldn't bear to reject you at that time." Jiao Qiu continued with a smile, "After you confessed your love to me, I suddenly realized that I also loved you."

"Then why did you reject me so thoroughly? You even said that I am just a junior in your eyes, an ignorant little brat. You will always be my uncle in this life, and there is absolutely no possibility between us."

Ruan Yan said directly that she was sad for a long time because of Jiao Qiu's rejection.

It was also because of this that Ruan Yan always believed that her uncle-master had no feelings for her. Even if her uncle-master fell in love with a stone, he would never like her.

"Because I really thought at that time that there was no possibility for a future between us."

"I am a person seeking medical treatment. Feixiao is still treating me. I have neither the energy nor the time to devote my attention to other things. The only thing in my mind is... Alas."

Jiao Qiu sighed at this time and gently tidied up the loose hair on Ruan Yan's forehead. The action was like a breeze blowing across the lake, soft and delicate.

"I understand. Family, country and world affairs should be the most important. What's the use of those sentimental things?" Ruan Yan, who knew what Jiao Qiu meant, said with a smile.

"You were my nephew, and you were still very young. I really thought you were a child who didn't know much about the world, so I felt deeply guilty for developing such inappropriate feelings for you."

"As for the refusal being so decisive, it was to warn myself that I must never overstep my bounds towards you in the future."

"Besides, you were still a minor at the time. Although I am not a gentleman, I am definitely not a beast."

"But when I learned of your death, I realized that you actually knew everything. You had already grown up and achieved your dreams. Only I was trapped in a cage..."

Jiao Qiu held Ruan Yan gently in his arms as if he was holding a rare treasure, and greedily sniffed the orchid-like and musk-like fragrance of Ruan Yan's hair.

Jiaoqiu began to talk about what he had encountered over the years, and about his emotions and feelings that were no longer suppressed.

"Remember what I said last time? This time, we are not only here to enjoy the flowers."

"So Yan'er, do you still like peach blossoms now?"
