Leng Ling was stunned for a moment and stopped moving his hands, "Huh?"
The man slowly closed his eyes, "When you were very young, your father would sing you the nursery rhyme every night before you went to bed. Can you sing it to your father?"
Leng Ling lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't know how to answer the other party. No matter how much he pretended to be, he was not really Lei after all.
Seeing that Leng Ling didn't answer, the man continued to ask, "Lei, please sing to daddy."
Her long eyelashes were stained with moisture, and Leng Ling's voice was hollow, "I'm sorry, I forgot."
The man lowered his head and showed no reaction.
Leng Ling took the towel handed by the servant and slowly wiped it for him. The man also sat silently like a wooden figure, letting Leng Ling wipe his body.
After wiping himself, the man put on clean clothes with Leng Ling's help. He moved his mouth and said, "Lei, I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's go have dinner together."
Leng Ling sat at the dining table with the man to eat, listening to the other man eating food and chattering about the past, with charming eyes flashing.
After the other party had eaten and drank enough, he lay down on the bed, and Leng Ling covered him with the quilt.
When he was about to leave, the man lying on the bed behind him said in a low voice, "You are not Lei."
These four short words made Leng Ling turn around in surprise.
Facing those cloudy but not dull eyes, Leng Ling looked at him with some surprise, "You..."
"Lei had already died in that explosion. I wanted to pretend to be crazy to escape reality, but I knew that even if I did, my Lei would never come back."
Leng Ling said sadly, "I feel very sorry about Lei. I can't bring him back to life. I don't mean to deceive you. I just don't want to see anyone hurt by the pain caused by the war."
The man's mood was quite calm. Now he was completely awake. "Thank you for taking care of me. The short time I spent with you made me feel the warmth of family affection. You have a broad mind and a kind and loving heart."
Heart, you will be rewarded for your kindness."
Seeing that the man had regained his consciousness, Leng Ling's worry subsided a bit, "I'm very happy that you can say that. I hope you can get over the pain of losing your son and start a new life."
The man nodded slowly and looked around the room, "Such a spacious and comfortable room, as well as exquisite food. My child, I heard them call you His Highness, are you His Highness Leng Ling?"
"I am Leng Ling."
After receiving the other party's personal confirmation, the man's eyes flashed with unspeakable complexity, "Your Highness, thank you, I'm a little tired now."
"Have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
"good."
After Leng Ling left, the man turned over on the bed and stared at the pale golden pattern on the wall in a daze.
I originally thought I could leave this place, but unexpectedly, I finally came back here. Moreover, I also met the person I was most afraid of seeing. Fortunately, the other person seemed to not recognize me anymore.
Also, I had only met him a few times, and he was still a child at that time, how could he remember me?
However, he could never stay in this place, even if he was called a madman. If that person saw him, he would definitely kill him again and silence him, just like that time. He finally escaped and hid his name incognito.
Now, I must not be discovered by him again, I have to find a way to escape.
His Highness Leng Ling was so kind to me, but I couldn't tell him about it. Although I felt guilty in my conscience, I didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be once he knew the truth.
After all, he had no evidence, and the whole of Lanson would surely fall into unavoidable civil strife and disputes because of this matter. In order to pray for the stability of the country, he should continue to conceal it.
The small black eyes full of sadness overlapped with the beautiful pupils with melancholy, and the man bent his mouth bitterly.
Your Highness Leng Ling, I'm sorry.
Leng Ling came to Li En's room and saw him lying quietly on the bed after taking medicine.
I touched the other person's high forehead with slightly cool hands, and found that it was no longer so hot, and his complexion was better than before, and the worry in his eyes was reduced a bit.
Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, Leng Ling stared at the man who was sleeping a little uneasily, his dark eyes shimmering.
More than a thousand days and nights spent with this man in the military academy flashed before my eyes. Thinking of my happiest three years, my beautiful face quietly shimmered with a few faint glimmers.
I don't know how long I sat there, until waves of drowsiness came over me, and Leng Ling finally moved his stiff body.
Slowly he raised his head and glanced at Li En. Seeing that the other person was sleeping more peacefully than before and breathing more evenly, he stood up and wanted to stretch his numb limbs.
His black eyes accidentally glanced at the cabinet beside the bed. Leng Ling saw that the cabinet was not closed, so he bent down to close it tightly.
As soon as it touched the cabinet door, something fell out from inside and made a slight sound.
Leng Ling quietly picked up the thing and took a closer look. It turned out to be a map.
Ying Ting's eyebrows tightened slightly, and he carefully unfolded the map and placed it on the table.
This colorful map details Zarate's city streets, government buildings, and even some secret institutions known only to insiders, some of which are clearly marked in Valencian.
Leng Ling stared at the map for a long time, his sculpture-like profile showing indescribable complexity under the halo of light outside the window.
Then, he put the map away expressionlessly, put it back intact, and sat back on the bed again.
Li En slept for a long time and finally woke up. He felt much better after taking the medicine.
He stretched lazily, turned to the other side of the bed, and happened to meet a pair of clear eyes looking down at him, which seemed to have some inexplicable meaning, and the golden eyes dimmed slightly.
Rean sat up from the bed, "You've been sitting here waiting for me to wake up?"
Leng Ling nodded lightly, looking worried, "Yes."
"What's wrong? You look worried," Lien deliberately ignored the other party's complicated gaze and put on his clothes, "What happened?"
"No," Leng Ling shook her head, her voice cold.
"What happened to that madman?"
"He's just a poor father who lost his son." Leng Ling moved his lips slightly, "He has regained consciousness."
"By the way," as if he remembered something, Lien opened the cabinet door and reached out to take out the map, "I got this map from a Valencian spy."
