CH 265

The portrait that was 80 to 90 percent similar to the other half of his face was still in Lin An’s clothes, but he didn’t know that the portrait was from Xi Ning, thinking it was Ferro who was looking for that person.

He didn’t wear a mask yesterday, because he wanted to show half of his intact face in front of Ferro to see how the other party would react, but Xi Ning saw it instead.

Later, Xi Ning immediately asked him to be his personal bodyguard. After being rejected, he was brought over. Lin An guessed that Xi Ning paid so much attention to him, not because he was frightened by his face, but maybe because he was just curious about the sight or the things that he had never seen before.

Lin An had been in contact with elves before, but it was not Xi Ning’s clan, but light elves with blonde hair and blue eyes. They were also beautiful and arrogant. They only loved beautiful and flawless creatures, ugly and dirty are pollution to their eyes.

The forest elves may be a little different, but they are not too far apart, right? When the Elf Highness took a close look at his face, he probably wouldn’t want to see him again.

Lin An released Xi Ning’s wrist, took off the mask, and exposed his entire face to Xi Ning, waiting for him to tell him to get out.

When the mask was taken off, Xi Ning couldn’t help holding his breath, his eyelashes trembling.

He couldn’t see it clearly the last time, but now when Lin An raised his head, the sunlight coming in from the window shone on his right face, Xi Ning realized that the dark areas on his face were not bruises, but a few curved lines on his skin. The traces continued from the forehead to his collar. Apart from these traces, most of Lin An’s face was black, like a birthmark.

Xi Ning pursed his lips, raised his hand and gently touched Lin An’s skin with her fingertips, “How could this be……”

There is no difference in the touch of the skin. If it is a birthmark, the area is too large.

Lin An raised his eyes to look at Xi Ning, his lips moved slightly, but he didn’t speak.

Xi Ning withdrew his hand and asked again, “Can this be cured?”

He was asking Lin An, but also the system, and the system replied, “Because the original book was unfinished too early, and there were not many characters in the show, Lin An wasn’t described at all in the book, and I can’t be sure what was on his face. You might have to find a professional doctor to take a look.”

Lin An said softly, “It can’t be cured.”

He has been living with this face for hundreds of years. In his early years, he already used all methods he could find. At first, he even hated himself. No mirrors could be placed in all residences, and reflective glass or windows were not acceptable. But gradually it doesn’t matter to him anymore.

What is Xi Ning’s mood now? Curiosity plus empathy? This made Lin An find it interesting. He used to live like a street rat, and most of the emotions he received were negative. Many people said that half of his face was the punishment from God, and they cursed him to go to hell sooner or later.

Xi Ning was silent, Lin An put on the mask again, still in a half-kneeling posture, “Your Highness, do you have any other orders?”

If Xi Ning called him here just to see his face, he should have seen enough.

Xi Ning couldn’t help but get closer to Lin An, but he was afraid of scaring the other party. He felt that Lin An in this world was somewhat inferior and timid under the background influence of the role. If he had to get close with him more, he would probably become familiar with him first.

“Yesterday I wanted you to be my bodyguard, why didn’t you agree?” Xi Ning met Lin An’s gaze and quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to blame you, just……”

Even though Lin An had no memory, when in front of him, Xi Ning would still involuntarily show an aggrieved expression, “Is there any other reason? Can you tell me?”

Lin An saw Xi Ning’s expression, and replied in a standard answer, “I’m just a junior warrior, I’m not qualified to be His Highness’s bodyguard.”

“You don’t need to be a bodyguard, you can also be a personal servant,” Xi Ning whispered, leaning his palms on the ground and approaching Lin An, “It’s better to live with me than in a mercenary group.”

It really is sympathy, sympathy for his face, sympathy for him being the lowest slave in the mercenary group.

Lin An has a new understanding of forest elves.

But Xi Ning’s thought was too direct, Lin An didn’t hate it, instead he felt that Xi Ning was really simple minded and cute. He even had some bad thoughts, if he kidnapped His Royal Highness of the Elf now, took him back to the ghost forest and locked him in a high place. At that time, when he faced himself, would it still be this expression?

Lin An didn’t respond for a long time, Xi Ning couldn’t figure out what he meant, and tentatively said, “Your commander said that he needs your consent, that’s why I want to see you in person…… Don’t worry, I really have nothing against you. There is just a shortage of hands around.”
