Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2297 Farewell
"Where?"

Li Ji was startled, "What? Do you want to take a look?"

I don't know if it was his delusion, but how could Ms. Yao's questioning be as if she knew that the hair tie was not by his side?
Officer Yao clenched her hands hidden under her sleeves, her expression was a little nervous, and she couldn't help nodding.

Did he think too much?

Li Ji sighed, "It's not that I don't want to show it to you, it's just that I lost that hair tie."

"lost?"

Ms. Yao's pupils shrank, her face was shocked.

No wonder she had such a reaction, Li Ji smiled wryly, "I lost my mother's only possession, I am really an unfilial son."

"No, that's not what I meant," Officer Yao blushed, and opened her mouth, trying to say something, but couldn't.

She hid a secret in her heart and felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know if she could speak.

She didn't want to be a gossip who kept asking questions, but this matter was her secret, and she had to ask.

After choking for a while, Ms. Yao asked anxiously, "How did you lose it?"

Li Ji's attitude made people puzzled.After losing his mother's belongings, Li Ji didn't act so distressed, as if he knew where the hair tie was.

Li Ji looked at the moonlight outside the window, "After I said goodbye to someone who was very important to me, the hair tie disappeared."

He remembers that day very clearly.

The night Li Zhao left the hut, he was sure that the headband was still there before he fell asleep, but he couldn't find it when he woke up.Li Zhao said he didn't see it, and asked him if he had fallen somewhere.

At that time, he also thought that he had fallen into the crack of the bed, but later he went to the hut many times to find it, but he couldn't find it.

The only relic left by his mother just disappeared, but Li Ji was inexplicably not so sad.

Probably because the headband disappeared with Li Zhao.

Li Zhao left, taking his heart with him.

Before that night, he had tried several times to give Li Zhao the headband his mother had left him as an engagement token, but Li Zhao refused several times.

And his hairband couldn't be found even after Li Zhao disappeared. Does this mean that Li Zhao accepted his wish in secret?
But that was purely delusional on his part.

Li Ji lowered his head and smiled wryly.

Li Zhao never accepted his intentions back then, even after he lost his headband, when he asked her, she just said with a puzzled face that she didn't see it either.

Until the very end, she still rejected him.

But it can't be her fault.

Li Ji sighed deeply in his heart. He lived to this age to understand how difficult it was for Li Zhao back then.

If it were him, now that a 13-year-old girl said she wanted to marry him, he would only take it as a child's joke, and would not dare to take it seriously.

Children have changeable temperaments. If adults take it seriously, it will only be a tragedy in the end.

What's more, the situation of men and women is very different. The husband is the woman's support. He was only 13 years old at the time, and he had no ability to make any promises to Li Zhao.

If they were together, Li Zhao would be the one to take the risk.

Who would have the courage to accept the love of a child with no parental support and an unknown origin?
Only a fool would do that.

He shouldn't have had such delusions in the first place.

Li Ji turned his head and stared quietly at the moonlight in the sky.

He was too young and ignorant at that time, if God gave him a chance to go back to the past, he would never tell her again.

Just like it is now.

The emotions in Li Ji's eyes were too complicated, so complicated that Lady Yao didn't dare to disturb him.

It's just that the time she can come out is limited, Yao Nu had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Zhaohua?"

"I'm sorry," Li Ji came back to his senses and said apologetically, "I just remembered something from the past."

"It's all right," Ms. Yao shook her head. She was too embarrassed to say more, but she couldn't restrain her curiosity. "The person you are talking about is..."

Li Ji's dark pupils flickered.

"It was the benefactor who saved my life when I was young," he said softly, "She never told me her real identity, she only told me that her name was Li Zhao."

"Li Zhao..."

Officer Yao clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest, she didn't even realize that her voice was trembling, "Is that...a woman?"

Li Ji was startled, and couldn't help but glance at her, forehead, "That's right."

Officer Yao's voice trembled even more, "Is...is she older than you?"

A strange feeling appeared in Li Ji's heart, "That's right, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing." Officer Yao lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, "I was just thinking, Mr. Zhaohua, you are so powerful, the person who can save you must be even more powerful. It must be a woman as powerful as Master Guoshi."

For the people of the former Qin Dynasty, there is always only one national teacher in their hearts, and that is the chief commander Lin Shubai.

At this time, Lady Yao suddenly mentioned Lin Shubai, and Li Ji thought it was strange.

He felt even more strange in his heart, and nodded calmly, "She is indeed a powerful woman who is older than me."

The only woman in this world who is more powerful than Li Zhao is Lin Shubai, the Chief Commander.

Ms. Yao let out a long breath, as if she was engaged in some intense psychological struggle, "Then you said you said goodbye to that girl earlier, what happened?"

It's okay to be treated as a tongue-twisting woman, even if Li Ji dislikes her, she has to ask her clearly.

Up to now, his past is not something that can't be said.

"It literally means," Li Ji looked up out of the window, "When I was 13 years old, she said that I had important things to do and told me to stay at home and not go out, and then left alone, never return."

"After that, I never saw her again."

Officer Yao seemed to have a big lump in her throat, "That girl later..."

"In my memory, I saw someone kill her with a sword."

Li Ji's eyes were heavy, "I haven't seen her body, and now I can't tell if it's true, or I've misread it, or I've remembered it wrong."

"only……"

"Just what?"

Miss Yao's heart ached and she asked nervously.

"It's just that when she bid farewell to me that day, she should have been preparing to die."

Click!

The sound of dead branches snapping came from outside the window, and Ms. Yao shuddered and jumped up in fright.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Ji asked in surprise.

"It's nothing." Officer Yao stroked her chest, "I thought it was thundering outside."

At that moment just now, it was as if a thunderbolt struck her ear, and a bright light flashed in her mind.

Countless past memories in my mind revived after Li Ji finished speaking.

Cold sweat dripped from Ms. Yao's forehead.

"What happened to you from the beginning?" Li Ji asked softly, observing her expression.

"No, nothing..."

Ms. Yao was short of breath, and subconsciously touched her waist, "It's getting late, I have to go back."

At this time, she had fallen into a state of confusion, she wanted to talk to someone but there was no one to talk to, and she burned all at once, looking at the man across the way who seemed to see everything in his eyes, she instinctively wanted to run away.
