"By coincidence, the room you just checked out is still there, but the next person hasn't cleaned it up yet. Or is it still the same room?" the waiter said with a smile.

Li Mu nodded and replied: "No problem, just stay here."

The waiter took the room key and handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu took Linglong's sleeves and went up to the second floor of the inn and entered the room.

The layout of this room is very simple, but it is extremely clean.

Even though the store owner had not tidied up after Li Mu checked out, the layout of the house did not appear messy at all.

The bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, and Li Mu should have packed it before checking out.

"I see you are bruised now. It must be because you didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you take a nap first and have a good rest? If you have any questions, we can talk about it after you have had enough sleep." Li Mu

He put down the hand holding Linglong's sleeve and turned to make her bed, calling out to her while making it.

Linglong stayed up all night, but she was also very tired.

In addition, she looked very familiar with the Li Mu in front of her, and recognized that this man was the husband in her memory. She was unprepared, covered her lips and yawned, then got dressed and went to the bed.

Li Mu saw her movements and subconsciously lowered his eyes to avoid looking.

Linglong was so sleepy that she didn't pay attention to his expression. After getting on the bed with her clothes on, she wrapped herself in the quilt and narrowed her eyes.

"I'm very sleepy. If you have nothing important to do, husband, please don't disturb me during these few hours." After muttering these words, she turned her back and buried her head in the quilt.

When Li Mu heard her words about "husband", his emotions became very complicated.

He lowered his gaze and did not answer Linglong.

After Linglong finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. She pulled down the quilt a little irritably, raised her eyes and stared at Li Mu, and said angrily: "I'm talking to you, husband, did you hear it?"

Li Mu pursed his lips and responded in a low voice.

After Linglong received a response, she settled into the quilt and closed her eyes to sleep.

Li Mu stood beside her bed with his eyes lowered for a long time, and then he raised his eyes when he heard her soft breathing.

Looking at the man who buried his head completely under the quilt, he sighed and thought to himself, this habit of covering his head when sleeping has not changed for many years.

Li Mu slowly walked to Linglong's side, and with very gentle and slow movements of his hands, he pulled her quilt down a little, exposing her mouth and nose.

When he moved, Linglong's eyebrows were furrowed, but she didn't wake up. She seemed to be unprepared for him subconsciously.

Li Mu sighed in his heart, unconsciously thinking of the little girl's delicate age.

Fast forward many years, she was only twelve years old when he left Yunzhou. Now six years later, she has grown into a big girl, and the unruly arrogance in her eyebrows has disappeared a lot.

He remembered everything about her appearance as a little girl, but he had never thought about what she would look like when she got hairpins.

When he left Yunzhou, he never thought that he would see Shen Linglong again in this life.

If she hadn't looked much different from when she was twelve or thirteen years old, he might not have been able to recognize her at a glance six years later.

The first time Li Mu met her was when he was fourteen years old. She was only ten years old at that time, and she was at her most noisy age. She struggled extremely hard climbing mountains and trees. When he was fleeing, he collapsed on the mountain, unconscious.

In the Qing Dynasty, he met her while playing in the mountains and begged her to save him. Later, he became her bodyguard and her childhood playmate.

He didn't know which family she was from, but he was surprised that there was no adult in the courtyard where she lived who could take charge of the family.

There is no elder master in the courtyard, and the little girl Linglong is the only master, so she is used to it by the servants.

I have always been used to being pampered and arrogant. I only act according to my own wishes and don't care about worldly opinions at all.

When she asked to support him, no one among the servants dared to object.

There was just a girl named Qiu Shui who would make troubles to drive him out from time to time.

However, Linglong was probably lonely and had no playmates, so she was very reluctant to leave him and also relied on him very much.

It's a pity that at that time, he only regarded the small courtyard in Yunzhou as a temporary place to stay.

He has carried too many burdens and cannot live in seclusion in the mountains of Yunzhou and be a carefree child like her.

After avoiding the limelight in Yunzhou for two years, Li Mu decided to leave when he was sixteen.

He had known for a long time that he was leaving, but Linglong would cry every time she heard that he was leaving. Li Mu had been with her for two years, and he couldn't bear to see her cry, so he couldn't make up his mind.

It wasn't until Linglong's father sent someone that he made a cruel decision and left Yunzhou.

When that man came to Yunzhou, he originally wanted to take Linglong back from Yunzhou to prepare for the marriage meeting the next day, but unexpectedly he discovered Li Mu, a foreigner, in the small courtyard.

At that time, Li Mu was sixteen and Linglong was twelve, both of whom were old enough to discuss marriage. It was inevitable that people would criticize them if they hung out together all day long.

This matter reached the ears of Linglong's father, which made him furious. He wrote several letters to Linglong, asking her to leave Yunzhou as soon as possible. He also asked the person he sent to give Li Mu a letter.

It was also that letter that woke up Li Mu.

Li Mu has no father or mother, and his family background is unknown. He lives a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

As for Shen Linglong, no matter what, she was still a young lady under the care of her father. Even if she was raised in the mountains, she was not something he, a desperado, could mess with.

How dare he expect to marry her when he has shouldered so many burdens.

A teenage love that is destined to be fruitless is a love debt that Li Mu cannot bear when he is young. What's more, Linglong is still young, and she may not understand whether her feelings are dependent or something else.

After receiving the letter, Li Mu knew that such entanglement was meaningless and would instead damage her reputation.

What's more, Li Mu has things in his heart that are far more important than love. His family's bloody injustice and his grandfather who is suffering in the frontier are all responsibilities that he has to bear.

The excitement he had when he was a boy was nothing compared to the things he was carrying.

So, Li Mu left.

He left without saying goodbye, leaving nothing behind for Linglong.

Linglong fell seriously ill after he left. Perhaps Shen Luan felt guilty because his daughter was seriously ill, or for some other reason, he specifically asked Shen Qinliu to go to Yunzhou to take care of Linglong.

Maybe Linglong herself doesn't understand what she thinks about Li Mu when she was a teenager.

After a serious illness with a high fever, Shen Qinliu was always by her side. She knew that this was her sister, a close relative by blood, and would never leave her. She was extremely dependent on Shen Qinliu, and her memory of Li Mu continued to grow.

The torture of being seriously ill and the continuous high fevers gradually faded away. I only vaguely remembered that I had a playmate named Li Mu, but even his face gradually faded away.

It wasn't until he returned to the capital when he was thirteen years old that he met Qi Zhen on the night of Yuan Dynasty.

Qi Zhen's facial features really resemble Li Mu's.

Linglong didn't remember Li Mu's face, but she was still moved by Qi Zhen's eyebrows.

She inexplicably fell in love with the man who saved her, the gentleness and elegance around him, and his beautiful features.

Meeting you for the first time is like returning from an old friend.

She always felt that Qi Zhen was like an old friend she knew in a certain life.

However, she didn't know if this old friend was really an acquaintance in her previous life, or if he looked like someone she had forgotten in her memory.

In these years, whether in Nanyuan or in the East Palace, Qiu Shui has never liked Qi Zhen. Apart from Qi Zhen's actions without caring about Linglong, the most important thing is that Qi Zhen's eyebrows are very similar to Li Mu.

That Li Mu left cleanly and made Linglong seriously ill with a high fever. Later, it was a blessing in disguise and she forgot about his disaster. Qiu Shui also kept her mouth shut and never mentioned Li Mu in front of Linglong. She thought that the master would forget about it in the future.

Got this person.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen appeared.

Such similar eyebrows always bring back bad memories of Qiu Shui.

She also felt from the bottom of her heart that she was always unlucky to have a man with such a pair of beautiful features.

Linglong, who was sleeping on the bed, coughed in her sleep, and the coughing sound brought Li Mu back to consciousness.

He frowned, took a handkerchief and put it on Linglong's forehead, and through the handkerchief, he felt the temperature of her forehead.

This time, his eyebrows furrowed even more.

The exquisite forehead felt a little hot.

Li Mu pursed his lips, tucked Linglong into a quilt, turned around and left the room, went to find a medical clinic and invited a doctor over.

After a while, Li Mu came back with the doctor.

The doctor checked Linglong's pulse, frowned, and made a confused "tsk" sound.

"What do you mean by this, doctor?" Li Mu asked quickly.

The doctor raised his eyes and glanced at Li Mu, withdrew his hand for diagnosing the pulse, and replied: "This girl must have been suffering from the cold for some time. Judging from the pulse, she should have recovered a long time ago. However, for some reason, it never got better. Instead, she still had a fever."

When I got up, it was just a fever due to wind and cold. Although the pulse condition was strange, it was not unreasonable. However, the old man looked at this girl's pulse condition, as if she had been taking aphrodisiac medicine for a long time. Mr. Lang, this medicine is rare.

It's been two years since I've been pregnant. I don't know what kind of medicine you gave this girl. It's been so long and it hasn't hurt this girl's foundation. But this medicine, no matter how good it is, always has its drawbacks. Listen.

The old man advised me that the medicine is poisonous and should be stopped as soon as possible. Besides, this girl is not too young and should have children."

Child avoidance drugs?

Li Mu had complicated emotions in his eyes.

Seeing Linglong today, he thought that she should be married. He even thought that she might have a child who looked like her or her husband, but he never thought that she had served two years of asylum.

sub-drugs.

How could this be? She obviously has her father taking care of her, and the family she married into should be a good family with her father's approval. No matter how good the husband is, he will never be a desperado like him who licks blood from his sword.

Although Li Mu didn't know her father's identity, he could guess that he was from a wealthy family, a powerful family, and had a high status. Linglong was loved by her father and was a mistress who was accustomed to being favored. How could she be here?

What about taking child-avoiding drugs for two years after getting married?

What's more, she is such a good little girl, how could someone not really care about her and take care of her, but instead feed her with child-avoiding drugs for two years?
