Chapter 538 [Godfather and Temporary Worker]

Looking at the dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky, Chen Daolin took a deep breath, as if he had fully felt the cold air whirling his lungs before slowly exhaling.

Behind his body, a pair of gentle hands draped the thick fur on his shoulders. A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Daolin's mouth. He gently held the little hands, pulled the petite and soft body into his arms and hugged them hard.

Regardless of the slight struggle in his arms, he had already kissed the other person's cheek hard.

The elves' slender ears seemed to be trembling slightly, and red clouds were already burning on their faces, and even the tips of their ears were emitting an attractive pink.

Chen Daolin smiled: "Why didn't you go to set off fireworks with them?"

Barossa shook her head and pursed her lips, but simply snuggled into Chen Daolin's suspicion, feeling the man's body temperature almost greedily.

"I'll accompany you."

A gentle and delicate sound.

Chen Daolin's heart moved and looked at Barossa's eyes.

"What do you see?"

"I will see whatever you see."

Barossa seemed to hesitate for a moment, but said in a firm tone: "There is only you in my eyes."

Looking at those beautiful eyes, the ones that were deeply imprinted in her pupils, Chen Daolin sighed softly and whispered in a very serious tone: "I'm sorry."

"Why apologize?"

"I... have been very busy all the time, so busy I ignored you." Chen Daolin apologized slightly in his tone: "I remember I promised you that I would accompany you and walk around and see... But after coming out of the imperial capital, I kept throwing you in the northwest."

"But I'm very happy." Barossa narrowed her eyes and smiled.

She squinted her eyes and smiled, like a cat.

Chen Daolin looked at her smile, narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, "If you continue to smile like this, I will turn into a bad person."

Barossa showed a little shyness and fear in her eyes. She quickly avoided Chen Daolin's gaze, but whispered: "Today is... New Year's Eve, why are you hiding here alone?"

"Didn't they have a lot of fun?" Chen Daolin smiled: "I can hear Sasha's screams and McQueen and the others standing here."

Barossa's eyes showed a little joy: "Sasha is so naughty. She added a lot of fire elements to the fireworks made by McQueen. When she was released, she almost burned Baron Pierre's beard. Dean Carmen scolded her. Now she has been dragged to the kitchen to wash dishes."

After a pause, the elf's eyes showed a bit of cunning: "Many people are having dinner tonight. I heard that more than two hundred plates were used in the kitchen."

"Then she probably will be washed until the beginning of spring."

The two looked at each other and then laughed for a while. But Barossa carefully reached out her hand, hugged Chen Daolin, leaned her head against Chen Daolin's neck, and whispered: "I feel like you are in a bad mood. You are unhappy."

"Um?"

Chen Daolin frowned unexpectedly. Then he smiled bitterly: "Is it so obvious?"

"Others can't see it, I can see it." Barossa whispered in a serious tone.

Chen Daolin didn't say anything, and the elf said softly: "Why aren't you happy? I feel... you seem to be... special... well, lonely."

Lonely?

Chen Daolin raised an eyebrow.

Maybe that's the case.

He was a little surprised at the elves' keen sense.

"Actually, it's not loneliness, it's just a little melancholy. Well, just treat it as my intermittent mental illness, which has been cured." Chen Daolin smiled casually.

"Why?" asked the elf in a persistent and serious tone: "You, you can tell me."

"Why? Well, let me think about it. Maybe because of a lot of things, a lot of a lot of things."

"Are you troubled the orcs?"

"No." Chen Daolin shook his head: "I am not that great and will not carry these things in my heart all the time. I... am actually a very selfish person."

"You are a good person." The elf whispered seriously.

"Good guy? Maybe..."

Barossa raised her head and looked at Chen Daolin's eyes. Suddenly, the elf seemed to have thought of something.

"You... are homesick, right?"

"Well?"

Chen Daolin was stunned.

"Well, that's just homesickness." Barossa suddenly lowered her voice: "I'm very familiar with this expression. Every time I'm unhappy, I look at myself in the mirror, and I have this expression and such look."

Looking up again, Barossa looked at Chen Daolin: "Darling, you are thinking about home, right? What does your hometown look like? You have never told me or anyone else."

My hometown? What does it look like?

Chen Daolin touched his nose.

A crowded city, a rapidly growing price, and a house price. Work hard for a year, and the money saved can't afford a house of one square meter.

By the way, there was still more than two-thirds of the year, haze, sandstorms, and tap water with increasingly heavy bleaching smell...

The girls are desperately trying to find rich people to be husbands, while the men are desperately trying to turn themselves into rich people...

But……

So what?

That is my world, my home.

After leaving for a long time, I will still think about it.

"I've always been very strange... I think many people are very curious. Where did Darling, a powerful person, grow up? What kind of strange place can give birth to a powerful person like you?" Barossa whispered: "I have been in the human world for more than a year, and the Roland Empire has also seen many places... You seem to be different from other humans."

“Where is different?”

"I can't say it." The elf's eyes flashed. After thinking about it, he whispered: "It's different. The way you speak, the way you smile, the way you look, and the things you think are different from other people."

Speaking of this, the elf suddenly hesitated: "There is only one person, a bit like you."

"who?"

"That...the duchess of the Tulips." The elf's eyes were also hesitant and confused: "She... has your shadow on her."

My shadow?

Chen Daolin smiled.

Because her ancestors are the same as me?

"Actually... my hometown is not a very beautiful place. There is life very hard and tiring. Everyone works hard every day, plays hard, and lives hard. So almost everyone is very tired, trying to make themselves live well and make themselves happy, but in the end... most people are not happy." Chen Daolin suddenly had a little bit of confiding in his heart, and he continued casually: "Our...well, a beautiful girl like you will not look at a man like me."

"Why?" Barossa widened her eyes: "You, you are so good!"

"No. When I was in my hometown, it was not good." Chen Daolin smiled: "Most of the beautiful girls in our place belong to rich people. Oh, by the way, we have a magical profession called godfather. Anyone who does this profession generally lives much better than most people."

"Godfather?" The elf widened his eyes.

Chen Daolin thought of a prank came out in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Yes. The most unlucky profession in our place is called temporary worker. Well... I don't know how to explain it to you. In short, it's just taking the blame. No matter what bad things happen or what chaos happens, everyone will think it's done by temporary worker in the end."

"Then... have you ever done this kind of profession called 'temporary worker'?" Barossa suddenly asked.

Chen Daolin was embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "It seems... I have really done it."

He looked at Barossa: "Do you often miss home?"

"I don't want to be with you."

The elf's answer made Chen Daolin feel sad.

"But I spend very little time with you."

The elves are silent.

"Maybe. You should be with your tribe, with your brother, your friends, and your relatives." Chen Daolin whispered, rubbing his fingers on Barossa's delicate cheeks.

The elf looked at Chen Daolin seriously: "But there is no you there."

There, there is no you.

Chen Daolin's heart immediately became warm.

The elf leaned in Chen Daolin's arms. Listening to his powerful heartbeat: "Darling, continue to talk to me, is it okay to talk about your hometown? I have always felt that I don't know enough about you. There is always a layer of mysterious fog on you that makes me unable to see clearly or thoroughly. This scares me. I always have nightmares, dreaming that you will suddenly disappear under my nose one day, leave, and fly away..."

"My hometown? Isn't it what I just said."

"No, your friends in your hometown? Where are your relatives?"

"Friend..." Chen Daolin thought for a while: "I have a friend who runs a small supermarket... Well, you can understand it as a small grocery store that specializes in selling food, drinks and daily necessities. That guy is a gambler, who likes to play cards and bet on money, and likes to peek at girls. Well, his grocery store is open in a school... Well, it's like a school like the Magic Academy. Every time a beautiful girl goes to buy something, he will ask someone for a phone number. Uh... the phone number is a way for people to contact us."

"What else?" Barossa narrowed her eyes. Although Chen Daolin said something strange, the elves were very sensible to listen to it.

"And?" Chen Daolin thought for a while: "I'm there, very ordinary, and has no characteristics. I don't make much money, I live in a small house, and no girls like me. I don't have many friends, and the one who is a little better is the guy who runs a grocery store."

"What about... what about your parents?"

When Barossa asked this, she immediately felt Chen Daolin's body stiffen!

It seemed as if in an instant, all the softness and tenderness of the man beside him became stiff.

“…my parents…”
