The next morning, Xi Ning woke up later than usual. He sat up for a while and slowly recalled everything that happened last night.

The system greeted him, “Good morning, master, how did you feel after drinking that glass of fruit wine yesterday? But to be honest, your current body is weak at handling alcohol……”

“It’s fine as long as I don’t lose my memories after drinking,” Xi Ning got out of bed, Lin An was not in the room, his mattress was tidied and piled up in the corner, “Where’s Lin An?”

“He went out early in the morning.”

As the system was talking, Lin An came in with a basin of warm water.

“Your Highness.” Lin An put the water on the shelf and handed Xi Ning a small soft towel with both hands.

The water heater in this hotel has broken down recently, and the bathroom cannot supply hot water. Since the weather has not been very cold, the mercenary group didn’t mind it. His Majesty Ferro and Xi Ning were the only ones in this whole convoy that had higher living standards.

Lin An went downstairs ahead of time and asked for a pot of hot water, he also asked the boss to change to the most expensive and soft towel.

The towels in the room are hard and rough, not suitable for the delicate skin of forest elves.

Xi Ning took the towel and while washing his face, he was still thinking about what happened last night.

After he drank the wine last night, what he did when he was drunk was purely instinctive. 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 the previous worlds, they have been together in so many worlds, and they have reunited and fallen in love with each other again more than once.

Although he and Lin An had only just known each other, Xi Ning felt that even if

Lin An didn’t like him yet, he must still have a good impression of him.

Lin An was still waiting for instructions, Xi Ning put down the towel and stretched out his arm, “Help me get dressed.”

His robe was hanging on the hanger, Lin An brought it over and put it on Xi Ning gently.

Xi Ning stretched out his hand to him, as if asking for a hug…… Lin An recalled the elf’s soft waist last night, and a happy and complicated emotion rose in his heart.

Regardless of his previous or current status, with his appearance, approaching or touching Xi Ning seems to be a kind of blasphemy.

Not to mention holding him in his arms, a secret and bad pleasure filled his body, if this elf only belonged to him, how good it would be.

But he still doesn’t know whether Xi Ning still remembers what happened last night after he got drunk.

Lin An fastened the straps of the cloak, and Xi Ning’s long silver hair was covered under the cloak. Lin An wanted to tentatively ask about it, but when Xi Ning raised his head to look at him, he couldn’t manage to speak out.

Judging by Xi Ning’s reaction, he probably didn’t remember it, so there is no need for him to bring it up again.

After putting on the cloak, Xi Ning guessed that it was almost time to continue the journey, when he was about to pack up, a guard knocked on the door.

Lin An stepped forward to open the door, and the guard standing at the door said, “Your Highness, today’s trip has been delayed until after lunch. Your Majesty Ferro asked me to inform you.”

“Why was it delayed?” Xi Ning asked. When they discussed yesterday, he said they will be leaving early this morning.

“Because…… Your Excellency Harris is unwell and needs to rest for a while.”

Harris is the dwarf, it seems that he can’t even go back to the carriage to rest. He is probably really sick, so Xi Ning nodded in response, “Okay, I see.”

The trip was delayed, so they had to stay in this town for an extra day. Xi Ning closed the door and turned to look at Lin An, and suddenly said, “Why don’t we find a doctor and let him take a look at your face?”

Lin An was stunned, his expression was hidden under the mask, and can only slightly see his eyes, “Your Highness, there’s no need.”

Xi Ning didn’t agree. Anyway, since he happened to have half a day to spare, so why not give it a try.

Besides, he wasn’t discussing it with Lin An. Xi Ning pushed the door and went downstairs to find someone to help with this matter. Lin An followed closely behind him.

There were many people eating breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor. In addition to the people in the convoy, ordinary passengers were also there. Xi Ning tightened the edge of his hood and found the head 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 the city.”

The head guard suddenly became nervous, “Are you not feeling well?”

The dwarf probably drank too much last night, and said that he was feeling sick early in the morning, the doctor had just left his room.

Xi Ning shook his head and said in a lower voice, “I am fine, I just want to find a doctor to take a look at Lin An’s face.”

The head guard looked at Lin An, who was standing silently on the side with a mask on his face, and after looking back, he said, “So it’s about him, there is a doctor accompanying us in the convoy, but he wasn’t a expert to deal with his situation, I’ll let my subordinate to find a doctor in the city for you.”

Xi Ning said gratefully, “Thank you.”

As he was about to leave, there was a beggar wearing ragged clothes at the entrance swinging a broken porcelain bowl while saying inarticulately, “Please have pity, give me something to eat……”

The waiter in the store chased him with a broom, “Go away quickly! So dirty!”

The beggar stumbled to the ground, accidentally caught a glimpse of Xi Ning’s silver hair and green eyes under his hood, opened his eyes wide and shouted, “Elf! You are an elf……”

Ignoring the waiter’s obstruction, he rushed into the restaurant and knelt on the ground, trying to touch Xi Ning’s shoe, “Please help me……”

Lin An and the head guard quickly stopped him in front of Xi Ning. Fortunately, the beggar’s speech was slurred, and people who were not paying attention could not understand what he was saying.

The beggar kept talking, probably seeing a real elf in this remote town was just like seeing a god, delusionally wanting to get a little pity from him.
