The rounded nails were trimmed to Lin An's lips, he lifted up, turned Xi Ning's hand over, and kissed it again.
Just as warm and soft as he had imagined, the fragrance of plants and trees in Xi Ning's hands faded a little, with another nice smell. Lin An couldn't tell what it was, only that it was Xi Ning's unique scent.
For an elf like Xi Ning who has no ability to protect himself, he shouldn't have promised Filo, let alone be so far away from home to suffer these sufferings.
Besides, the outside world is too dangerous. A small spell can make Xi Ning lose consciousness. How can his people feel relieved to let him come out alone
Lin An is inexplicably irritable, as if seeing a dusted pearl placed in a corner at random, and he was a thief who broke in by accident.
At the same time, he has a despicable sense of pleasure, especially when secretly kissing Xi Ning's fingertips, the secret satisfaction fills every inch of skin.
He wants to get this elf completely, and after Xi Ning enters the elusive forest, he will never let him leave.
Lin An put Xi Ning's hand away, reluctant to do anything to him, and stayed by the bed until dawn.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin An retracted his aura, put the mattress on the floor, and the system was also unshielded.
It was cracking Lin'an’s spells all night, but it didn’t work at all. As soon as it was able to contact the outside world, the system quickly checked the surrounding environment and Xi Ning’s physical data, and found that there was no abnormality. Xi Ning’s state was even better. It was better a few days ago, which proves that I slept well last night.
The system is a little confused, then why does Lin An use a spell on Xi Ning.
Lin An packed up his things, went outside to drink warm water and took breakfast. Xi Ning just woke up when he was ready. He recovered and remembered that he woke up once last night, and finally fell asleep with Lin An in his arms.
After that, he was never awakened again. He slept until now, and his energy was better than before. It was indeed a wise choice for him to let Lin An come in and sleep.
But Xi Ning can't remember whether Lin An let go last night. Judging from Lin An's current character, he should... Don't hold himself all night, right
While Xi Ning was washing and eating breakfast, the system tone was serious: "Host, I want to say one thing."
It rarely happens when Xi Ning slows down her hand: "What's the matter?"
The system still didn't say that Lin An was squeezing Xi Ning's neck that day, only that Lin An used spells on him last night, and that he was shielded even with the system. Lin An must not be as simple as it seems.
After listening to Xi Ning silently, he didn't feel surprised.
In the worlds he had experienced before, except for Song Zhou in the first world, Xi Ning didn’t know his family situation very much because he went too hurriedly. Later, Situ Zhao, Xu Si, and Louis, even though they were When playing a supporting role, his identity is not bad.
Thinking about this, Xi Ning quickly accepted that Lin An had another identity, but he didn't know what his purpose was for hiding in the team.
In addition, what the system said, Lin An used the technique to him, and even the system didn't know what happened last night. How did Xi Ning feel that this method was very familiar.
When Situ Zhao concealed his true identity, he also sneaked into his bedroom at night, but was discovered by the system at that time.
In short, Xi Ning is not at all worried about what Lin An will do to him, and there is no task reminder in this world. He can only let the flow go. On the contrary, Xi Ning feels more free. Without the ultimate task goal, he will be nice to Lin An. Together.
He explained his guesses and thoughts to the system, and the system actually felt that Lin An would not hurt Xi Ning, but the completion of this world was different from the previous one, and it could still be shielded by spells, so he would inevitably worry.
The breakfast prepared on the road is relatively simpler. After Xi Ning finished his breakfast in the carriage, Lin An came in to clean up the table, and Xi Ning quietly looked at his masked face.
The last moment he slept last night, he was holding Lin An, and Lin An was most likely the spell used on him at that time.
Then what did he do to himself? The tips of Xi Ning's ears were slowly covered with a thin layer of red, but he felt that Lin An was still relatively distant from him now, not like the previous worlds.
It doesn't seem appropriate to ask directly. The tangled expression on Xi Ning's face fell into Lin An's eyes, and he said: "His Royal Highness, would you like to have tea? I will prepare it for you."
Xi Ning nodded in return and said, "Okay."
Seeing that his attitude towards him had not changed much, Lin An carefully recalled the situation last night and confirmed that Xi Ning would not find out what he was doing, so he went to make tea with confidence.
Since he was not worried about Lin An's intentions, Xi Ning would of course continue to keep him in the carriage. In the next few days, Xi Ning discovered that he would no longer be awakened by the carriage at night, and he would sleep until dawn.
Xi Ning faintly felt that Lin An might use the technique for him to make him sleep better, lest he loses energy all day.
The flower on the table has regained its spirit like Xi Ning these few days. By absorbing the breath of Xi Ning's body, it has developed a weak consciousness. When Xi Ning reaches out to touch the petals, it will actively bend the stem. , To make his movements more convenient.
In the afternoon, Lin An dipped some water and wiped the floor in the compartment. Xi Ning looked at him and said suddenly, "Since you stayed with me at night, I have slept well."
Lin An is doing everything as usual, bowing his head and responding: "Well, your Royal Highness is used to traveling at night, so he won't wake up often."
Xi Ning should have noticed something. Lin An was thinking about whether to reduce some of his aura. Xi Ning said, "Is that the reason?"
Lin An stopped and looked at Xi Ning. Xi Ning tilted his head and rested on his arm, with a serious expression: "Anyway, I think as long as you are there, I will be very stable and my mood will improve."
Lin An thought to himself, really innocent, really stupid.
Although he was wearing a mask, he knew that no one would be happy because he saw him. Xi Ning was probably making him happy, just like he bought the basket of flowers.
After wiping the floor, Lin An got out of the carriage and guarded the door.
Since Xi Ning asked Lin An to come over, Lin An was asked to do everything, and now he is still letting him sleep in the carriage. The two servants who were originally assigned to him have basically nothing to do, so Filo enlisted Xi Ning. After agreeing, the positions were re-arranged for the two.
Xi Ning usually doesn't have much contact with other people, and he has a strong sense of presence in the team. Most people know that his relationship with Lin An, a servant, is getting more and more "close".
When he stopped to eat at noon, Lin An took the bowl and went to a place where no one else was. Halfway through the meal, he heard footsteps behind him. He put down his chopsticks, took the mask and turned around.
It was two people from the mercenary group who came. Lin An had a little impression of their faces and didn't know their names or positions.
The two mercenaries approached and greeted with a hippie smile: "Hey brother, we haven't talked since you got promoted."
Lin An can't remember any contact with these two people before. He stood there and didn't move: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that you are lonely eating here," one of the mercenaries lifted his chin and motioned Lin An to take off the mask, "You continue to eat, don't care about us."
Lin An replied, "I've already eaten, let's take a step ahead."
After he said he wanted to bypass the mercenary and go back to the dining shed, the mercenary reached out and stopped him: "Eh, don't worry... Have a little more chat?"
Lin An looked down at his stretched out hand. The mercenary felt uncomfortable for a while, then retracted his hand and rubbed his palms: "You see, you usually stay with His Royal Highness Elf, so you have a little free time at noon... "
Before he could finish his words, another mercenary smiled and echoed: "Yes, I have to take care of your Highness to rest at night, so can my body survive?"
Lin An's eyes grew cold and did not answer. The two mercenaries saw him like a wooden stake, and said straightforwardly: "In fact, we just want to ask, do you have any preferences for His Royal Highness?"
The mercenaries of them all put their lives on their waistbands when they went out on missions. They didn’t really take care of them. They were all very courageous. As early as when the convoy set off, these two mercenaries wanted to get to know Xi Ning. Going out and bragging that there is an elf friend, that's a lot of face.
But Xi Ning never paid attention to them. They thought Xi Ning was arrogant, and gradually gave up the idea.
However, during this period of time, Xi Ning not only went in and out with a servant in their original mercenary group, but also treated him very well. The mercenary rekindled hope. Maybe they used the wrong method to strike up a conversation before. , Xi Ning is the kind of reaction.
The journey was really boring. When I arrived in the forest, I didn’t know what was going on inside. It’s hard to say whether I could come back alive. So they took some time to find Lin An and wanted to inquire about him. After all, he Now he is the closest person to Xi Ning.
Wen Yan Lin An repeated in a low voice: "Are there any preferences?"
When the mercenary saw it, he thought he was funny, and put his hand on Lin An's shoulder: "Well, I have a special product that I bought on the road. Why don't you take me to see your Highness and see if he likes it..."
Lin An raised his head to meet his gaze, the mercenary slowly stopped, and some dull sense of the cold killing intent.
When Lin An returned to the dining shed, Xi Ning had finished his meal and was waiting for him. Lin An's speed was a little slower at noon today.
As soon as he approached, Xi Ning keenly smelled a trace of blood from him. The forest elves were very repellent to this kind of breath, and Xi Ning wrinkled his nose: "Are you injured?"
Lin An was silent for a moment, and stretched out his right hand. There was a shallow hole in the pad of the index finger: "It was accidentally scratched just now."
Xi Ning didn't think much, nodded: "It's okay if you are fine."
He took Lin An back to the carriage, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Lin An knew spells and could directly block the system together. He must be a high-level magician. How could he accidentally scratch his hands and bleed
After Xi Ning sat down, she thought for a while and stretched out her hand to him: "Show me your hand and I will heal you."
Lin An hesitated: "No need for your Highness, it's just a small injury..."
"You don't have aura to protect your body, what if you get infected," Xi Ning looked serious, with his hands still outstretched, "Hurry up."
Lin An had to kneel down and stretch out his right hand again, Xi Ning held his wrist and pulled it in front of him, feeling that his wound seemed a little bigger than before...
The wood attribute can use healing techniques. Xi Ning pinched Lin An's fingertips, feeling bursts of spiritual energy, the wound on the index finger quickly healed, and the blood stains evaporated and disappeared in the air.
Xi Ning wanted to seize every opportunity to get close to Lin An, and Lin An hides his strength in front of him, so he simply went along to help him heal his injuries.
After no traces were visible on the skin, Xi Ning squeezed Lin An's fingers lightly, and said, "Okay."
Lin An's body was stiff, and his heartbeat speeded up because of his movements, and he was afraid that Xi Ning would be forcibly suppressed by him.
The fingers that had kissed secretly touched him affectionately, and a numbness spread along the tip of his right finger. Lin An only regretted that the temporary wound was too small.
Xi Ning quickly released his hand, and Lin An recovered and stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will go outside and guard first."
He turned to leave, Xi Ning stopped him: "Wait..."
Xi Ning suddenly remembered, if his healing technique can heal ordinary wounds, can Lin An's face return to normal
He said his thoughts, Lin An looked at Xi Ning's eager expression, and was silent for a while.
Ordinary wood and water magicians have healing skills, and even he can try some of them himself, but this spell is of no use to his face.
At this time, he couldn't persuade Xi Ning, so he could only obediently remove the mask and let him try.
Xi Ning pushed Lin An to let him sit on the chair by the window, and first reached out and touched his side face.
Lin An closed his eyes, still being able to sense every movement of Xi Ning. He bent down and propped on the armrest, leaning very close, his fingertips slowly stroking his black and hideous right face, exuding aura and uniqueness. breath.
He thought of the flowers saved by Xi Ning, and the one on the table. Lin An already regretted taking the flower out, because Xi Ning touched its petals almost every day, and he was very jealous.
Now what Xi Ning does to him is like a flower, but he is not a flower. He can have all kinds of ideas unscrupulously, and he is not afraid of being discovered by Xi Ning.
Xi Ning seriously used the healing technique for a long time, but Lin An's face still didn't react at all. He was very disappointed, and the system sighed: "He is not a real low-level warrior. Don’t care too much about the host."
"Ok."
You have to try it yourself before you can give up. Xi Ning collected his spiritual energy and straightened up.
Xi Ning bent over and stood for a while, the carriage shook, he could not stabilize his figure, and sat directly on Lin An's lap.
Lin An had already opened his eyes, wrapped his arms around Xi Ning's waist like a reflex, and gently rubbed his forehead with a soft touch.
He wasn't sure if it was Xi Ning's lips or the other skin on his face, and when Xi Ning threw into his arms, Lin An's neck was numb, and there was a reaction that he shouldn't have.
He quickly pressed down, trying to maintain his expression as much as possible, gently supporting Xi Ning up: "His Royal Highness, are you okay?"
Xi Ning seemed to be surprised by what happened just now. He opened his eyes wide to look at Lin An, and shook his head after a moment: "I'm fine."
Lin An saw that he was not dissatisfied and couldn't help but aftertaste. This was the fourth time he held Xi Ning. Every time it happened, the situation was different, but the time was too short.
Xi Ning coughed lightly and said, "My healing technique seems to be useless. Maybe the time is too short. I will try again another day."
Lin Anying said, "Okay."
He had no reason to stay anymore and retired to Xi Ning and got out of the carriage.
After he went out, Xi Ning sat down in a chair and leaned against the window for a while. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the reddish ear tips and hummed, "Hooligan."
