Chapter 62: Unofficial Secret Guard (12)

Lin Ran was not idle either.

In order to see the injuries on Xie Fengye's body clearly, she lit a few more candles.

The air in the room was filled with a light fragrance.

As the candle flame jumped, the light and shadow cast obvious changes on the wall.

Lin Ran held the candlesticks and carefully adjusted the position of each candlestick.

As the last candle was lit, the light in the room became brighter, and every detail in the room could be seen clearly, including the subtle scars on Xie Fengye's body.

Xie Fengye had already taken off his upper body clothes at this time.

His back was broad and strong, with clear muscle lines due to years of martial arts training, but there were many old scars on his body, and only the abdomen that he had just covered was still oozing blood.

Lin Ran gently stroked the scar on his back with her fingertips, her brows furrowed, and she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

The healed scars all tell of the hardships he had gone through in the past, and perhaps he had even had a brush with death.

"Master, don't look at them. These scars are ugly." There was a hint of embarrassment in Xie Fengye's trembling voice.

"Not ugly. If you don't have any scars on your body, it would be strange." Lin Ran said in a relaxed tone, "Turn back."

"How about...I can do it myself."

Xie Fengye looked down at his abdomen.

He could easily handle such a minor injury. If he frowned, he would be laughed at by his former colleagues.

Thinking that Xie Fengye was too embarrassed to turn around, Lin Ran walked around to him, sat down in front of him, and bent down to get close to his abdomen.

"master……"

Xie Fengye actually wanted to pull up his clothes unconsciously, but Lin Ran stopped him without saying a word.

"Just look at the wound, don't be shy."

After carefully observing his injuries, Lin Ran began to treat his bleeding wounds meticulously.

"Just bear with it, I'll be gentler. You can scream if it hurts."

"……Um."

Lin Ran spoke very seriously, and a person who appeared to be righteous but actually had evil intentions could not help but start to think in the wrong way.

But no one spoke again.

The room was silent, the candlelight continued to emit bright light, creating a warm and quiet atmosphere between the two of them.

Xie Fengye stared at the person who was very close to him.

Her facial features are as delicate as a sculpture, her eyes are as bright as stars, her nose is straight, and her lips are as delicate as cherry blossoms.

Every line of skin is as delicate as snow, revealing a unique temperament.

Her beauty is so touching that it needs no words.

Taking advantage of the fact that Lin Ran was busy treating his wounds at the moment, Xie Fengye's eyes flashed with the joy of success without any reservation.

He deliberately let her find out that he was injured.

Otherwise, he could have taken care of his wounds himself before coming to me.

"Okay, get dressed, and try not to let the wound get wet until it scabbed over."

Lin Ran said as she packed the medicine box.

The speed was extremely fast and Xie Fengye's eyes never met during the whole process.

She was not unaware that there was a burning gaze in front of her, always falling on her.

She could also hear her own heartbeat, which was particularly clear in the silent air.

Something is wrong...!
Lin Ran simply pretended not to notice and didn't know until Xie Fengye put on his clothes skillfully and told her that he could be her errand boy tonight.

"I hope you can heal your injury first!" Lin Ran raised her eyes and met his gaze.

The other person's gaze was fixed on her, and Lin Ran couldn't avoid it, as she didn't want to appear guilty.

"If you can't sleep, can you tell me how it took you half a year to convince the emperor to let you go?"

"Subordinate..."

Unfortunately, just as Xie Fengye was about to speak, his stomach started growling.

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Xie Fengye was really embarrassed this time.

He didn't have time to eat because there were more important things to do.

Now that more important things have been accomplished, my hungry stomach begins to protest.

"It's okay, no need to apologize, just stop calling yourself a subordinate, okay?"

Lin Ran still prefers to hear people call themselves "I", which sounds more pleasant.

"Master, don't you like it? Then how should this subordinate call himself?" His eyes were serious.

It intuitively tells Lin Ran that her opinion is important.

Lin Ran waved her hand and said, "You can just call yourself 'I' like me. It's simple and convenient."

Thinking that he had rushed here without even having eaten, Lin Ran had no reason to let him starve.

"There happens to be some food in the kitchen. I'll take you there and we can talk after you're full."

"Thank you, master." Xie Fengye had long been accustomed to how a subordinate spoke and almost called himself a subordinate again.

But he was willing to be Lin Ran's subordinate, and he didn't feel wronged.

Lin Ran built a small kitchen in the yard. When she occasionally slept late, she would make some extra food as a midnight snack.

I just happened to make it in time tonight, but I don’t know if it’s enough for a tall man like Xie Fengye.

After Xie Fengye finished eating, Lin Ran sat next to him and waited for him to speak.

There were only two maids serving in her yard. One of them worked as a part-time worker and went to bed early every day, while the other was active and often ran to other yards. Normally, no one would set foot in Lin Ran's place, so there was no need to worry about anyone suddenly appearing.

Xie Fengye was the kind of person who dared to say anything, and he had no intention of keeping it secret.

“The Emperor promised that as long as I sneak into the enemy country and steal the defense map, he would allow me to completely leave the Dragon Guard.

It took me half a year to give him the defense map he wanted, and he was very surprised.

I guess he thought I would die in the enemy country and never come back.

But fortunately, I was only slightly injured, and I successfully obtained the defense map, which gave the emperor a greater chance of sending troops to conquer the enemy country.

I was just a secret guard who posed no threat to him, so he agreed to let me go."

Lin Ran listened and nodded thoughtfully.

In the original plot, the male protagonist Si Zhan has been spending the second half of his life annexing neighboring countries, expanding territory, and fully exerting the power of the male protagonist's halo.

Later, because the heroine was tired of the prison-like life in the palace, the hero abdicated in advance to the prince at the age of fifty, allowing the prince to continue expanding the country's territory. He himself took the heroine to travel around, and finally lived in seclusion in a retirement resort and died at the age of one hundred.

This means that in the next ten or even dozens of years, our country's military will continue to fight with other countries.

There is no need to panic, because you were born in a country with the halo of the heroine and the hero, you are on the victorious side and do not have to suffer the pain of defeat.

However, although……

Lin Ran doesn't think the male protagonist is a kind-hearted person.

"Xie Fengye, I still find it hard to believe that the emperor would let you go so easily. Is there any place you want to go? Are you interested in leaving the capital with me and living somewhere where no one knows you?"
