Chapter 21 Moved
The night was hazy, and a thin cloud covered the bright moon.

Peach Blossom Grove is far away from Anran Residence, even if the lights are bright there, it can't illuminate half of it here.

Unlike the hustle and bustle over there, this place is like a forgotten corner.

Luo Mingchuan sat quietly on the tree branch, leaning against the tree pole with one leg propped up, as if he had merged with the darkness here.

The breeze blows, and the pink petals flutter down gently.

She held out her hand, and held a petal in her palm.After looking at it for a while, he threw it away casually and let it fall with the wind.

"Bah!"

A crisp sound broke the tranquility of the night.

Immediately, there was the sound of heavy footsteps.

Obviously, the other party did not intend to conceal his identity.

Luo Mingchuan maintained the original posture, stretched out his hand, and went to catch the fallen petals.

"Miss Luo?" The visitor stopped five steps away from her.Moreover, although there are some doubts, the tone is very certain.

Luo Mingchuan didn't look back, but stretched out his hand, seriously waiting for the falling petals, "Uncle, you shouldn't be here."

Si Mohan smiled, and the scar on his face became more ferocious with his smile.

"How does Miss Mingchuan know it's me?"

Luo Mingchuan put down his hands, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Before you got close, I smelled a sweet smell."

Si Mohan untied the purse from his waist, "It turned out that it caused the trouble." After finishing the words, he casually threw the purse to Luo Mingchuan.

Luo Mingchuan weighed the purse in his hand, remembering the softness when he received it just now, he pursed his lips and smiled, "I have never understood why a big Buddha like Uncle condescends to me to live in this place safely. Small temple?"

Si Mohan smiled, pointed his toes, fluttered his long sleeves, and landed on the opposite peach tree branch.

Luo Mingchuan looked at the almost untouched peach blossoms on the branches, and sincerely praised: "What a handsome lightness skill."

Although the bright eyes were full of smiles, there was no envy in them.

Si Mohan knew that although Luo Mingchuan was not usually showy, her skills would definitely be extraordinary.

He smiled and said: "It's just some show, it's okay to bluff people."

"Uncle, are you being modest?!" Luo Mingchuan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.Looking at the scar that almost spanned his entire face, he frowned unobtrusively.

Si Mohan raised his hand to touch the scar on his face, and said with a smile: "An elder in the family was accidentally injured while fighting with someone."

Is this an admission that he is facing someone else's face?

Luo Mingchuan listened quietly, without speaking.

Si Mohan continued: "Because he had some prestige in Jianghu back then, so I borrowed it to avoid being bullied."

Luo Mingchuan asked curiously: "Then don't you worry about being approached by his enemies and suffering an indiscriminate disaster?"

Si Mohan shook his head indifferently, "He's just a sugar seller, how can he have any enemies?"

Even if there are so few short-sighted ones, he will take care of them easily.

Luo Mingchuan said seriously: "I remembered what you said. About two or three years ago, I actually saw a sugar seller's uncle with a scar on his face."

Immediately, his face was stunned, "Let me just say, why did you feel familiar when I saw you for the first time, so the root cause is here."

Little liar!
She found out early on that she and her adoptive father were not the same person!

Si Mohan looked at Luo Mingchuan's serious nonsense, and felt annoyed and amused.

However, since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her either.

He said with a pun: "This is the fate between us."

Believe in you!
Luo Mingchuan smiled lightly and said: "I only believe in cause and effect, not in fate. Right now it's just the two of us, uncle, why don't we have a frank and honest talk."

The corners of Si Mohan's mouth curled up slightly, "I don't know what Miss Mingchuan wants to talk about?"

Luo Mingchuan smiled, "It stands to reason that An Ran Residence is open to welcome guests, since you have paid the rent, I shouldn't ask any more questions.

But I'm just curious, why is the uncle willing to condescend to me in this small temple? "

The corners of Si Mohan's mouth were slightly raised, and there was a soft smile in his calm eyes.

But his heart is not so peaceful. He has a feeling that today's conversation is related to the future relationship between the two of them and the way they get along.

For a moment, he wanted to tell the truth, to tell everything.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.

It's not that I don't want to say it, or that I can't say it, but that it will backfire before the time comes.

Although the girl in front of her was always smiling, she looked very gentle.But he is the most cold-hearted and indifferent, if he wants to get into her heart, he will have to go through a lot of trouble.

He looked at Luo Mingchuan, and said very seriously: "I like this place."

Luo Mingchuan smiled and asked, "Why?"

Si Mohan pursed his lips, and said softly, "Because you are the best person to me besides my relatives."

Luo Mingchuan raised his eyebrows amusedly, "You mean, you stayed in Anranju for me?"

There was an imperceptible but inescapable coldness in the soft voice.

"Of course!" Si Mohan nodded very naturally, "I still remember when someone made things difficult for me at the night market, and you were the one who stood up for me."

Luo Mingchuan leaned back against the tree trunk, and reached out to catch the falling petals, "Uncle, you are treating me like a three-year-old child!"

I don't believe that you couldn't have settled things if I hadn't come out on top.

Si Mohan said solemnly: "Going out to travel, you will naturally encounter all kinds of troubles. But in a place where you are not familiar with life, someone is willing to lend a helping hand to you, this warmth will always be warm. From the bottom of my heart."

His voice was very soft, but it contained deep emotion.

Luo Mingchuan chuckled, and gently twisted his thumb and index finger, and the fragile petals immediately turned into light-colored juice.

"I'm just doing things impartially, uncle don't have to take it to heart."

Si Mohan's eyes fell on her fingertips stained with flower juice, "This matter is a piece of cake for the girl, but for Si, it is a timely help.

Of course, what I think is my own business, and the girl doesn't have to worry about it. "

Luo Mingchuan gave him a playful look, and asked curiously: "Uncle, you've been away from home for so long, haven't you thought about going back?"

Is this to chase people?

Si Mohan felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he was a little bit annoyed, "I do business according to my duty, never cause trouble, and never owe rent."

The smile on Luo Mingchuan's face remained unchanged, "Uncle is just angry?"

Si Mohan opened his mouth, and just about to speak, Luo Mingchuan asked, "Why did uncle appear here?"
