When the two of them returned with the ice lantern, the rest of the family had not yet gone to bed, so Lin Mo placed the ice lantern in the yard. Cheng Yan and Lin Mo washed up and lay down on the bed. They had slept all afternoon, so Lin Mo was not sleepy now.
After turning off the lights, Cheng Yan lay back on the bed, and Lin Mo nestled in his arms, the two chatting in low voices.
After chatting for a long time, Cheng Yan's mind flashed back to his previous dream and the part of his memory that he had recovered. Cheng Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to talk to Lin Mo.
"Momo... I said before that I have no memories of the past..."
"Well, you said, what's wrong?" Lin Mo asked casually.
"I regained some of my memories not long ago."
When Lin Mo heard this, he froze and remained motionless. Various complex emotions flashed through his slightly closed eyes. The room was dim, and Lin Mo had been burying his face in his chest, so Cheng Yan didn't notice it for a while.
"Well, is that so... Then what do you remember? Like name, identity, etc." Lin Mo was silent for a long time and then spoke.
Recovered some memories? After recovering his memories, would Cheng Yan still be the same Cheng Yan as before? Would he still pamper him as he does now? Would he suddenly forget everything now after recovering his previous memories? Lin Mo's mind was suddenly filled with these speculations that gave him a headache.
"Momo, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Yan looked down at him, puzzled. As soon as Cheng Yan heard Lin Mo speak, he felt that something was wrong with his mood.
"...It's okay. Tell me about yours first. What memories have you recovered? Do you know what your previous identity was?" Lin Mo buried his head in his arms and said in a muffled voice.
His body is covered with hideous scars, he has inner strength and martial arts, and his life is as disciplined as a soldier, so he can't be an ordinary person.
"Now some things have been confirmed. If the young general in the dream is me, then the current emperor should be my brother."
General...Emperor...Brother...Then Cheng Yan is the prince? A member of the royal family...
"Cheng Yan, if there is someone else around you, I will leave you." Lin Mo raised his head and looked at him steadily, his face a little stiff.
He likes Cheng Yan very much, so he can't stand the existence of other people around Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan can only belong to him. If Cheng Yan no longer belongs to him after fully recovering his memory, then he can only choose to leave.
At least, he could still recall the time they had spent together.
"I have only loved you, no one else." When Cheng Yan heard Lin Mo say the word "leave", his heart stagnated and he subconsciously held him tightly in his arms.
Leave? He would not give Lin Mo a chance to leave him.
"The me in the dream followed the army to the border at the age of fourteen, and did not return to the imperial city until I was seventeen. I went back not long after staying there, so there could be no one else in the mansion except servants and guards." Cheng Yan explained.
When he returned at the age of seventeen, he still received a letter from his brother. But he didn't know what happened when he was eighteen, which caused him to fall off a cliff and lose his memory. It was not until a year later that he recovered a little.
Unfortunately, since he woke up from the dream that day, he never had that dream again, and he didn't know what happened after he led his troops to the imperial city in the dream.
"Fourteen years old...then the injuries on your body..."
Fourteen years old... still a teenager, going to the battlefield like this? Lin Mo had trouble breathing when he thought of the injuries on his body.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt now." Cheng Yan turned sideways, buried his head in Lin Mo's neck, and whispered.
Lin Mo reached out and touched his head without saying anything. It doesn't hurt now, but what about then? You were on the verge of death many times, how did you persevere?
Lin Mo thought, perhaps in some ways, he and Cheng Yan had the same experience.
"So... don't leave." Cheng Yan saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, feeling a little anxious. He raised his head and put his forehead against his, staring into his eyes.
The darkness of the room did not hinder Cheng Yan's sight. He could clearly see that Momo looked at him with distress in her eyes.
"As long as you don't have anyone else, I won't leave..."
"There won't be anyone else." Cheng Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his answer. He tightened his grip on his waist. Apart from Lin Mo, there couldn't be anyone else.
"Do you think I'm selfish?" Lin Mo whispered. He suddenly thought that this was ancient times, not modern times. Having three wives and four concubines was normal for them, not to mention the royal family.
"No." When they got married, he had already promised Lin Cheng and Lin Xiu that there would only be Lin Mo in his life, no matter now or in the future.
"But I can't have children. You are destined to be childless in the future."
If the wife of an ordinary family cannot give birth to a child, the man will definitely take another concubine, let alone someone from the royal family. Cheng Yan could be a prince, so would the people in the palace tolerate Cheng Yan not having offspring? Perhaps the court officials would marry their daughters to him for some benefit, and the emperor or the empress dowager would also push him behind the scenes.
Lin Mo's mind was now flashing with clips from various novels or palace fighting TV dramas, and he always felt that one of them would definitely happen to him.
"You told me before we got married that you couldn't have children, and I don't care about it." Cheng Yan said patiently.
For Cheng Yan, it is better not to have a child. Without a child, Momo will always focus on him. Without a child, Momo's love for him will not be divided in half.
"But..." Lin Mo looked at him, hesitant to speak.
"Momo, what are you worried about?"
Lin Mo opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know where to start. In the end, he buried his head in the quilt and remained silent.
"Can you please tell me? I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me. Today is the first day of the new year, we should be happy." Cheng Yan lifted the quilt a little, kissed his forehead, and coaxed him in a low voice.
"You don't care whether you have a child or not, but what about others? The emperor, the empress dowager, and the ministers in the court who have taken a fancy to your interests. I think they will force you to compromise." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said.
"Although I have only recovered part of my memory, I can be sure that my royal brother will not interfere in these matters. As for others... Momo, have you forgotten my identity? They can bring it up, and I can also refuse." Cheng Yan said.
If it really doesn't work, just kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. After all, the people of Yu State all know that King Cheng is cruel and bloodthirsty. If he is not more cruel, it will really damage his prestige in front of the people.
Cheng Yan hugged Lin Mo, resting his chin on the top of his head, and gently soothing his back with his right hand. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his slightly closed eyes became more profound.
How could he allow people to bully his people?
"Have you figured it out?" Cheng Yan comforted him for a long time and whispered.
"Hmm... figured it out." Lin Mo slowly moved half of his head out of the quilt and rubbed his chest carefully.
"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, go to bed, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow." Cheng Yan touched his head and asked.
"Do you remember why you were injured and lost your memory?" Lin Mo looked up at him and asked.
Although this place is the border of several countries, even if they were surrounded by the enemy, they should not flee here, nor should they fall off the cliff. Unless they were chased and fled here, they would jump off the cliff when they were forced into a desperate situation.
Perhaps, there are other entrances to the three mountains surrounding Daling Village, and Cheng Yan might have escaped from the other side of the mountain.
"I haven't remembered these yet." Cheng Yan's tone was somewhat helpless. Apart from the experiences in his dreams, he didn't remember much. Many of them were experiences of killing enemies at the border, and the rest were from his childhood.
"In one or two months, my second brother will go to the capital for the imperial examination. We will go with him then. Perhaps you will remember some things by then."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Mo felt that Cheng Yan's memory of the past was related to the spiritual spring water. After seeing the injuries on Cheng Yan's body, Lin Mo was worried that he might have hidden injuries, so he put spiritual spring water in his food and drink every day.
It seems that the spiritual spring water is taking effect. Perhaps, the amount of spiritual spring water given to Cheng Yan can be increased.
Cheng Yan patted his back gently and rhythmically to lull him to sleep, and only stopped slowly when Lin Mo's breathing became steady.
Return to Beijing? He should definitely go back, he also needs to find out what happened before he lost his memory. It is also possible that all this was part of his previous plan, except for the accident of losing his memory.
I hope that within these two months, he will be able to remember other things. Cheng Yan hugged the person in his arms tightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the morning of the second day of the New Year, Lin Mo was woken up by Cheng Yan again. After changing into the red clothes that Lin's mother had prepared for them last night, Lin Mo washed up and went to have breakfast with Cheng Yan.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Mo saw a sea of red inside, especially the four children in their family, whose clothes were pure red without a trace of other colors.
Lin Mo paused, pursed his lips and tried to hold back the urge to laugh. He felt that the clothes he and Cheng Yan were wearing were not that eye-catching, at least their clothes had other colors, red was only a part of it.
"Fourth Uncle, you and Uncle Cheng are also wearing red clothes!" Lin Xiaoya smiled when she saw Lin Mo coming in. With her red clothes, she looked like a perfect little lucky charm.
"Yes." Lin Mo smiled, his eyebrows slightly curved.
The clothes Lin Mo was wearing were found by Lin's mother and sister-in-law after visiting many clothing stores. The style is quite novel.
"Mom, why aren't fourth brother's clothes all red? It's too red for him to wear clothes that are so red. I always feel uncomfortable." Lin Xing naturally also noticed the clothes on fourth brother and eldest brother Cheng, which were obviously better looking than his.
"We should wear festive clothes during the New Year. I saw that Achen didn't say anything, so why do you have so many opinions?" Mother Lin said as she served dumplings to Mo Ge'er and the others.
Lin Chen: ...
He should continue to remain silent. Lin Chen didn't say anything. He lowered his head to eat the dumplings, looking as if he didn't care about what was happening outside.
