Although she only had a mole on the corner of her eye, she looked more charming than before, and even had a hint of melancholy. Although he looks like Shimiya, his charm is different.

After Li Mu returned to Handan, he immediately prepared for the expedition. He was busy in the morning and evening. Although Li Xi and he lived in the same courtyard, they rarely met. Living a life under such a high wall would naturally be a bit boring.

Missing the wind and sand in Yanmen, at least he and Li Mu were inseparable there. Li Xi wished he could return to the border again. The hardships in Yanmen were obvious, but only there could Li Mu be inseparable from him. After returning to Handan, everything changed.

She looked forward to Li Mu's departure later, but such expectations were always unrealistic. She prayed day and night, and finally the day of separation came.

That night, everyone in the mansion was packing Li Mu's luggage. When the old housekeeper was holding the newly made armor and preparing to send it to him, he met Li Xi at the door of Li Mu's room.

I don't know how long she stood in the courtyard. She always looked a little lonely under the moonlight. She didn't notice the old housekeeper approaching. Li Xi's bright and melancholy eyes looked at the candlelight in Li Mu's house, and looked at him in the house. The busy figure couldn't help but start to be afraid of separation.

This was not an ordinary farewell, it was a farewell that was a matter of life and death. Li Xi knew very well that if Li Mu left... he might not be able to come back.

"Girl...it's already late at night, should you go back to your house and rest? Don't let the night wind blow you away..."

The housekeeper couldn't bear it and stepped forward to comfort him, but Li Xi still stood there blankly.

"Old man, is this the armor my brother needs to wear on the battlefield?"

"Yes, it is newly made. The original one has not been worn by the general for many years and has become obsolete. Your Majesty specially ordered someone to sew a new one and send it over. The workmanship is more meticulous and elegant than the original one."

"No matter how well you do it, what's the use? Is it worth going through life and death for such a country?"

Li Xi sneered, then stretched out his hand and said

"Old man, please give me the clothes, I will send them to my brother..."

The housekeeper naturally knew what the girl in front of him was thinking. Seeing that she had always been depressed these days, she must have a lot to say to Li Mu.

"Okay...then I'll bother you, girl."

When Li Xi opened the door of Li Mu's room, he saw that he was wiping the long sword that he had worn for many years. Seeing Li Xi come in, he quickly stood up and asked.

"It's night, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I brought the armor to my brother. It would be terrible if I forget these life-saving clothes."

Even if the two of them were alone, Li Mu would not feel any discomfort. This was the most difficult thing for Li Xi to accept.

If he had a little love for himself, then the relationship between the two would not be so natural. Li Mu was sitting in front of him, but he was still wiping the long sword in his hand. Tomorrow was the time of separation, wouldn't he? Anything else to say to yourself?

Li Xi did not ask him immediately, but silently watched him clean his sword, seriously and carefully, as if he were treating something full of vitality.

"The blade of this sword has been wiped back and forth several times. Isn't it still clean?"

She finally couldn't help but find a topic.

"It's not that it's not clean enough, it's just that this sword is my most important partner on the battlefield. Although it has been with me for several years, I haven't led an army on a battle for a long time. I always want to get familiar with my old friends so that I can go into battle and kill them." It’s easier to deal with enemies.”

"Are you confident that you can repel the attacks of Yan and Qin?"

Li Mu smiled and said

"Although I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, I still have the confidence to kill the enemy! Now I can't wait for dawn, I really want to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible!"

Compared with guarding Yanmen before, Li Mu even smiled more when he returned to Handan. He ignored Zhao Yan's difficulties and ignored the crisis on the front line. This rare opportunity to lead troops had already made his blood boil!

"By the way, it's a good thing you're here. I have something to give you. If I don't see you until tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll forget it as soon as there are too many things."

Li Mu stood up on his own, turned to the bedside, and took out something from a bulging suitcase. Before he could turn around and hand it to Li Xi, he was surrounded by a gentle hug around his waist.

It turned out that Li Xi hugged him from behind. Li Mu could feel her forehead gently pressing against his back, and could also hear her sighing softly.

"what happened?"

Li Mu did not break away, but asked caringly

"I'm going on an expedition tomorrow. Are you afraid of being alone in Handan? Don't worry, everyone in the house will accompany you. Just let me know where you want to go. They won't treat you poorly..."

But after the words fell, Li Xi just shook his head in silence.

"Sorry, this battle is not a child's play. I can't take you to the front line with me. If the monarch finds out, it will be detrimental to you and me. I can only ask you to wait for me in Handan..."

Li Xi shook his head gently, and then asked with a slight choke.

"My brother once said that Shikiya and I look exactly the same. Since I am so similar to her, why has my brother never wanted to love me during the years we have been together? Since I imagined her so much, my brother took me Wouldn't it be better to just be Shimi Ai? Then neither you nor I will suffer..."

In the lonely night, there are two hearts that cannot be touched no matter how close they are.

"I feel for you... not only as a family member, but also as a man and a woman. We have been together for so many years, and my brother should also understand..."

Li Mu was not impatient or annoyed, but smiled and said in a gentle tone

"I know, I have always known your thoughts, and I have not ignored or ignored this feeling."

Li Xi slowly let go of her hand. Li Mu turned around with a smile and saw the tears in the corners of her eyes and the light-colored tear mole.

He bent down and looked at the face carefully, scanning from the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, and then to the lips.

"You are really similar, like twin sisters."

"In that case, just love me as Shikiya, and I won't care about this."

Li Mu smiled and said patiently

"Even if you are so similar, like the same person, I can't treat you as Shikiya. It's unfair to you. You are you. Even if you are really twin sisters, you are also an independent individual. You There are your thoughts, your feelings, your joys and sorrows. Although they are similar, your personalities are not the same, so no matter what, I cannot regard you as a substitute. If I regard you as Shikiya Ban Falling in love with you is a blasphemy to you and a stain on your soul. I can't do that. Shimi is the only one in this world, and you, Li Xi, are also unique."

The gentle words were full of rejection. Even with the same face, Li Xi knew that she could not get into his heart. Looking at Li Mu under the candlelight, the gentle smile and gentle words were full of rejection.
