"It's a bit difficult. This has happened since elementary school..." Ling Chuan stared at Xia Mo for a long while and said tactfully.

"Ah... I can't." Xia Mo pursed his lips, and the light in his eyes disappeared instantly. He looked listless, like a kitten that had been doused with cold water, so pitiful.

There was no way out. The martial arts dream that he thought he could realize was shattered before he could even get warm in his heart. The gap of false joy was a bit too big, and Xia Mo felt itchy and uncomfortable.

Oh, I really envy Lingchuan, he also wants to fly...

Seeing the young man's expectant eyes gradually replaced by disappointment, Ling Chuan couldn't bear it. Suddenly, an alternative idea flashed in his mind.

Why not let the boy learn some martial arts? This will not only strengthen the body, but also can protect oneself.

Ling Chuan thought about it and his eyes moved. He suddenly felt that this was a good idea, so he half comforted and half tested: "Ze'er, how about I teach you some boxing skills? Okay?"

"Boxing and kicking skills...are they okay?" Xia Mo looked up at him. If he really knew a few more moves, he would suffer less losses when fighting with others in the future. That would be good!

"Of course you can, but it's quite hard... If it doesn't work, forget it, I'm here." Ling Chuan felt a little regretful as he said this. Even if the young man was willing to endure the hardship, he was a little worried that he would not be able to bear it when the time comes.

Xia Mo snorted and muttered, "Stop looking down on others."

Who would have thought that Ling Chuan had excellent hearing and heard every word, and immediately couldn't help laughing, and said truthfully: "No, I just couldn't bear to part with it."

Xia Mo's cheeks suddenly became hot when he heard this. He quickly coughed twice, rolled his eyes and began to change the subject, "By the way, Brother Ling, you haven't told me how your benefactor is doing now."

"Ze'er, there's one thing I haven't explained to you clearly." Ling Chuan stared at the young man, slightly restraining the smile on his face, and before Xia Mo asked what it was, he spoke first.

"It is true that I was a general before, but now I am far away from the court and am just a commoner."

Xia Mo immediately straightened his face when he heard it. Everyone has his own past, especially a general from a humble family like Ling Chuan. It is difficult to climb to that position, and it is even more difficult to step down safely.

Xia Mo felt a little sorry for the tall man in front of him. He reached out and held his big hand, smiling and said, "This is also good. Let's live a simple life in the future."

"Yeah." Ling Chuan also smiled.

It’s great that his little brother always has him in his eyes. Even though he knows that he was once a general, he never feels any regrets.

"Old Yang asked me to save Prince Qiao's son. Although he saved me before, I have already repaid him. I am willing to help him this time because of his father."

"So you said he is fine for the time being, so you..." Having said that, Xia Mo actually already had a guess in his mind, and this might be what Ling Chuan was hiding.

"Zer, I..."

Before Ling Chuan finished speaking, Xia Mo spoke first.

He said in a low voice: "Brother Ling, I understand. You should be careful when the time comes."

This is a matter of great importance to the prince, so if you get involved in this deep pool, you might end up...

When he thought of this, Xia Mo's heart was in turmoil, and he instantly let go of the hand he was holding.

Ling Chuan couldn't bear to see his little brother being enveloped in depression, so he covered his hand with his backhand to prevent him from leaving, and called out softly, "Ze'er."

Xia Mo said "hmm" and looked at him sullenly, "When are you leaving?"

"Ze'er, I swear, after this matter is resolved, I will never leave." Ling Chuan answered the question irrelevantly. If possible, he really wanted to put the little brother in his pocket and take him away with him, but it was too dangerous.

Xia Mo nodded and said "Okay." He understood that Ling Chuan had his reasons for going, but he was just afraid.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me since you're waiting for me."

Ling Chuan squeezed his palm and said slowly: "Ze'er, do you have anything else to ask? I tend to be slow to react, and I don't want my affairs to make you unhappy..."

"Then...what about the old friend you mentioned before? The one...who looks a lot like me. How did you two know each other?" Xia Mo said as he glanced at Ling Chuan and then lowered his eyes.

Although he knew that Ling Chuan had real feelings for him, he still couldn't forget what the other party said at the beginning. He bought Ze Ge'er because he looked like that man.

If he didn't talk about this problem, he would feel like there was a thorn in his heart. Every time he thought about it, it would prick him a few times, not too hard or too lightly, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Xia Mo thought it would be better to talk it out now to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

Looking at the little brother's drooping head, Ling Chuan couldn't help but suddenly realize something, and felt both happy and a little distressed.

Could this be the real reason why the young man had always been so distant towards him? This was also his fault. If he hadn't made his words clear, why would the young man be upset because of this?

"Ze'er, I'm sorry." I'm sorry that you were wronged, and I knew nothing about it.

"Liu Qiuwu is just my comrade-in-arms, and he's still a man. I have absolutely no improper thoughts about him!"

Ling Chuan paused, and continued, "Although at first I really couldn't bear to see you get hurt because you two looked alike, but now, I am extremely grateful..."

If he hadn't been unable to bear it for a moment, his little brother would have most likely been abused.

When Ling Chuan thought of this possibility, his heart ached and a hint of coldness flashed across his cold eyes. Even if this was just a hypothesis, he couldn't accept it.

"So, I am very grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I might have missed you in vain." Ling Chuan stared at Xia Mo with a frank look.

This is true, whether it was his return to Liujia Village or his compassion for Ze'er because of Liu Qiuwu, they were the best choices he had ever made in his life.

"Oh... so that's how it is, I just..." Feeling insecure, Xia Mo couldn't utter the next few words because they were too awkward.
