The next morning, Xi Ning woke up later than usual, sat up for a while, and slowly recalled what happened last night.
The system greeted him: "Good morning host, how did the glass of fruit wine feel like yesterday? But to be honest, the body of the host has a little alcohol... "
"There are no fragments," Xi Ning got out of bed, Lin An was not in the room, and the floor bunks were piled up in the corner. "Where is Lin An?"
"He went out early in the morning."
The system was talking, and Lin An came in with a basin of warm water.
"His Royal Highness." Lin An put the water on the shelf and handed Xi Ning a soft towel with both hands.
The water heater of this hotel has broken down recently, and the bathroom cannot supply hot water. The weather is not cold recently. The people of the mercenary group don't care. The entire convoy is only expensive by His Majesty Ferro and Xi Ning.
Lin An went downstairs in advance and asked for a basin of hot water, and the boss changed the towel to the most expensive and softest one.
The towels in the room were hard and rough, not suitable for the delicate and delicate skin of the forest elves.
Xi Ning took the towel while washing, still thinking about what happened last night.
He drank alcohol last night, and what he did when his stamina came up was entirely instinct. He hugged Lin An, touched his face, and asked Lin An to help him take off his coat. Lin An did not refuse.
Xi Ning is very happy. Although Lin An has no memory of this world, the two have experienced so many worlds, reunited and fell in love more than once.
Although he and Lin An have only just met for a long time, Xi Ning feels that even if Lin An hasn't liked him yet, he must have a good impression of him.
Lin An was still waiting for instructions, Xi Ning put down the towel and stretched out his arm: "You can help me dress."
The robe was hung on the hanger, and Lin An took it over and gently put it on Xi Ning.
Xi Ning stretched out his hand to him, as if begging for a hug... Lin An recalled the soft waist of the elf last night, and joyful and complicated emotions rose in his heart.
Regardless of his previous or current identity, this appearance, approaching or touching Xi Ning seemed to be a kind of blasphemy.
Not to mention holding him in his arms, a secret and nasty pleasure filled his whole body, if this elf belonged only to himself, that would be great.
But he still doesn't know, Xi Ning still remembers what happened after being drunk last night.
Lin An fastened the straps of the cloak, and covered her long silver hair under the cloak. Lin An wanted to tentatively ask, but when Xi Ning raised his head to look at him, he couldn't say it for some reason.
Seeing Xi Ning's reaction, he shouldn't remember it, so why should he do it more.
After putting on the cloak, Xi Ning guessed it was time to hurry, and was about to pack things, when a guard came knocking at the door.
Lin An stepped forward to open the door, and the guard said outside the door: "His Royal Highness, today's itinerary is postponed until after lunch. Your Majesty asked me to inform you."
"Why postpone it?" Xi Ning asked. During the discussion yesterday, he said that he would leave early this morning.
"Because... Your Excellency Harris is unwell and needs more rest."
Harris is a dwarf. He can't even go back to the car to rest. He is probably really uncomfortable. Xi Ning nodded and responded, "Okay, I get it."
If the itinerary was postponed, I had to stay in this town for a long time. Xi Ning closed the door and turned to look at Lin An, and suddenly said, "Should we find a doctor to come over and let him take a look at your face?"
Lin An was stunned, his expressions were hidden under the mask, only the slightly drooping eyes could be seen: "His Royal Highness, no need."
Xi Ning disagreed, anyway, there happened to be half a day of free time, why not give it a try.
Besides, he was not discussing with Lin An, Xi Ning pushed the door directly and went downstairs to find someone, Lin An followed him closely.
Many people were eating breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor. Except for the people in the convoy, ordinary passengers were also there. Xi Ning tightened the edge of his hood and found the captain of the guard who was pouring water at the counter.
"Can you find a doctor for me?" Xi Ning lowered his voice, "I want the best in town."
The head of the guard suddenly became nervous: "Are you not feeling well?"
The dwarf probably drank too much last night, and said weakly that he was feeling uncomfortable early in the morning, and the doctor had just left his room.
Xi Ning shook his head, and said in a quieter voice: "It's not me, I want to find someone to show Lin An a look."
The chief guard looked at Lin An, who was standing by silently with a mask on his face, and then retracted his gaze and said, “It turns out that it is him. There is a doctor accompanying him in the convoy, but he should not be good at his situation. I will invite you one here."
Xi Ning gratefully said, "Thank you."
He was about to leave. At the door, a poorly-dressed beggar shook a notched porcelain bowl, and said slurredly: "Okay, let's get something to eat..."
The guy in the shop drove him with a broom, "Go, go! It's dirty!"
The beggar staggered to the ground, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the silver hair and green eyes under Xi Ning's hood, and opened his eyes and shouted: "Elf! You are an elf..."
Regardless of his fellow's obstruction, he rushed into the restaurant and fell to his knees, trying to touch the upper of Xi Ning's shoes: "You help me..."
Lin An and the chief guard quickly stopped in front of Xi Ning. Fortunately, the beggar was vague, and people who didn't know didn't understand what he was saying at first glance.
The beggar kept talking about it, probably because he saw a real elf in this remote town, as if he had seen a god, wishing to get a trace of pity from him.
The chief guard asked his subordinates to cover the beggar's mouth and drag him out. Xi Ning saw him touching the short knife on his waist behind Lin An, and stretched out his hand to pull Lin An's sleeve: "I'm fine, don't worry about him."
The beggar has been dragged away, and he can't hear his movement in the restaurant. The others are also eating separately. Lin An slowly put down the hand holding the handle of the knife, but a deeper killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Xi Ning walked up the stairs, Lin An stared at the direction where the beggar was leaving for two seconds, then turned to follow him.
If Xi Ning showed more pity to the beggar just now, he might actually kill him.
Lin An didn't go deep into where his thoughts came from. Who he wanted to kill in the past and how to kill depends mostly on his mood.
Not long after, the doctor whom Xi Ning had invited by the chief guard came over and was taken to Xi Ning's room.
The doctor is a local in his forties. After he was ordered to enter, he was not allowed to look at and talk nonchalantly, just treat the illness.
He lowered his head into the room, still couldn't help but glanced up. The two people sitting at the table were all covered tightly. One was wearing a cloak and a hood, and the other standing directly wore a mask. .
The man with the hood raised his head slightly, with a silvery white neckline exposed, and stood up to greet him: "Hello doctor, I want you to take a look at his face."
The doctor looked around, and Lin An took off his mask.
"This is..." The doctor was startled, he quickly calmed down and let Lin An sit down, took out the medicine box from his pocket and carefully observed his right cheek.
Lin An didn't like to let a stranger get so close, and touched his face with rubber gloves and various tools, but Xi Ning was still watching nervously, so he sat down patiently.
The doctor looked at it for a long time and kept frowning. Xi Ning asked, "How is it? Can his face be cured?"
"Sorry..." the doctor finally said embarrassed, "I can only say that this is not a birthmark. I can't determine the specific cause for the time being. It may be formed from the inside of the body and needs more time to check."
But they were leaving at noon, and it was completely too late to do other tests, not to mention that the doctors still had a lot of equipment to be used in the hospital, and they didn't bring them over.
Lin An said: "His Royal Highness, let's talk about it later, I'm not in a hurry."
The result of the doctor's examination was just as he expected, and he didn't even look forward to it for a while.
From his perspective, he could see Xi Ning pursing his lips, very unwilling, but had no choice but to reply: "Okay."
The head guard gave the money to the doctor a long time ago, but he didn't help much this time. Before leaving, he suggested that he should take a little blood and take it back for a test, and then tell Xi Ning the result, if there is a chance.
Xi Ning and Lin An had no objection. The doctor took a thin syringe from the medicine box and drew a small tube of blood from Lin An's right cheek.
After the doctor left, Lin An clearly noticed that Xi Ning was depressed.
For the first time he felt the unabashed concern of the other person, Lin settled down, walked over to Xi Ning and knelt down, "His Royal Highness, I don't care."
For a moment, Lin An even hoped that Xi Ning would always care and follow him like this, and it would be nice to treat him alone.
It's a pity that when I went to the sheltered forest, I was afraid that I would be unable to hide my identity.
Xi Ning put down his hood, bowed his head and responded, "Yes."
With the two of them in this posture, Xi Ning couldn't help bending over to hug Lin An, put the weight of his body on him, and the warm body leaned forward, Lin An was caught off guard, and didn't know where to put his hands.
Before he recovered, Xi Ning patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter if it can't be cured, I..."
He pushed a little away and looked at Lin An, his pointed ears were blushing. He wanted to say that it didn't matter if it could not be cured. He would not dislike it, and because the relationship between the two had not yet reached that point, he couldn't say it.
Lin An couldn't listen to what Xi Ning said just now. His mind was full of the figure Xi Ning had taken on his own initiative. Xi Ning is not drinking now...
Lin An saw his face without a mask in Xi Ning's clear pupils. He woke up instantly, turning his head and replied, "Yeah."
Xi Ning slowly got up and sat down. The lunch sender happened to come and knock on the door.
The servant put the food and said, "Your Royal Highness, today's lunch time is a little earlier, and you can leave after the meal is over."
After the dwarf had taken the medicine, his spirits were almost recovered. After they finished their lunch and packed their things, the dwarves went outside the city to join the convoy.
The doctor who took Lin An's tube of blood returned to the medical hall. There was no one in the hall at this time. He gave his assistant a few words and carried the medicine box to the back laboratory.
Asking for Lin An's blood was actually just a casual comment. He majored in medicine and was not proficient in pharmacy and component testing. The doctor took out the tube of blood and prepared to put it in the cabinet first.
Just as he took it out, the tube containing the blood burst suddenly, and blood stains and small glass splashed his hand.
It didn't hurt much when the glass stuck to his hand, but when the bright red blood touched his skin, he felt a violent burning sensation. The doctor hurriedly washed the blood stains in the pool and applied ice cubes for a while before returning to normal.
He looked down and saw that his clothes were stained with a few drops, and several holes were directly burned on the gray cloth, and the edges were scorched black.
The doctor couldn't hide his fear on his face, and hurriedly packed up the remaining glass tube residue, wrapped several layers of bags and threw them into the incinerator.
