第247章 艾倫患得患失 榮珍咬牙切齒

農場裏來了個長得漂亮的瘦高小夥。

雇工們收到消息, 不約而同地選擇在休息時間轉悠到艾倫工作的地方瞧兩眼。

Hey, you know what, this guy is really pleasing to the eye.

Everyone was amazed at what they saw, but the person being looked at felt embarrassed.

Allen stopped Daisy as she was coming home from get off work and asked, "Can you help me get a mask from town?"

He didn't want to be treated like a monkey by everyone anymore, nor did he want to delay everyone's work time because of himself.

His face only needs to be seen by those who should see it, there is no need for others to see it.

Daisy nodded and said, "Sure. What kind do you want, Alan? I remember I have a wolf mask at home. How about exchanging it for the green fruit you took out earlier?"

Although that green fruit cannot eliminate the damage left by the dragon's flames, it can help relieve the pain in my mother's body.

And it seems that only Alan can get this kind of fruit.

Daisy wanted to try to get her mother another one.

Alan agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go find it tonight, and you can bring the mask over when you go to work tomorrow."

The two agreed, and Daisy went back happily. When she came back the next day, she brought Alan a mask in the shape of a wolf's head.

The mask looked like it was carved out of wood, and its color was somewhat similar to the wild wolf head that Alan saw that night, both being gray and black. When worn, it could cover most of his face, leaving only the forehead, eyes, and mouth exposed, which did not affect his daily life.

Daisy turned around and told Rongzhen about this.

During her routine inspection, Rongzhen went to see Allen.

The first thing that caught her eye was the nearly 100-meter-long thorn bush that Allen had spent a day planting along the dead wooden fence of the farm.

Those thorns are growing well, some are lush and very prosperous, and some have red buds on their heads that are about to bloom. They all look very vibrant and pleasing to the eye.

Rongzhen liked the green from afar, and when she got closer and saw a little bit of red hidden in the green, she found it even more pleasing to the eye.

If you add the beauty next to him... well, I didn't see the beauty, only a white-haired man in a green robe wearing a wolf-head mask.

Not to mention, although we can't see that pretty little face anymore, it adds a unique mysterious and wild beauty. If he can gain some weight, even if we can't see his face, we can tell that he's a handsome guy just by his temperament.

The person involved noticed Rong Zhen's admiring look, and when he turned around and saw her coming, his eyes revealed an unconcealable surprise.

"Jenny, you're here." Alan stopped burying the soil, stood up and looked at her happily as she walked towards him step by step.

Rongzhen didn't care that his name was different from others. She smiled and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is your work going well? I think the section you planted is pretty good."

Alan curled his lips and said that everything was fine. There were no wild beasts where the thorns grew. He only needed to dig them up, plant them, and water them. With the thorns' tenacious vitality, they would soon take root again and grow vigorously.

Who knows, before long the farm fences will be covered with red thorn flowers.

The picture is beautiful just thinking about it.

Rongzhen imagined smiling, her eyes shifting to the mask Alan was wearing. She said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Alan, they didn't mean any harm, they were just curious. It's also my fault for not explaining it clearly to them in advance, causing you trouble. It's my negligence."

Allen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No need to apologize, Jenny, I'm not offended, I just don't want to waste too much of everyone's time because of this matter."

Rongzhen thought he was so considerate and had a kind heart.

Alan felt that she valued him, otherwise why would she come to apologize to him in person for this matter.

This made him feel comfortable all over and warm in his heart.

He picked two of the best thorn flowers, lowered his eyelashes like little fans, and shyly gave them to Rongzhen, saying, "Jenny looks best in these."

"Really?" Rong Zhen smiled. Who doesn't like to be complimented and praised? What's more, the one praising her is a handsome guy.

Even Rong Zhen couldn't handle this sugar-coated bullet.

She smoothed over the bun she had done that morning, still thinking about where would be the best place to put the flowers.

The person who delivered the flowers had volunteered to put them in her hair. After asking for her consent, he approached carefully, held his breath, and put the flowers next to her ear. After that, he looked at them again and again, reluctant to step away.

Rongzhen felt the scent of forest grass blowing towards her, and it felt like a spring breeze was blowing slowly on her forehead, causing her skin to tremble.

If she didn't know that this guy was innocent by nature, she would have thought that he was deliberately teasing her.

The old driver who has regained his youth can't stand the teasing of the young boy, so it's better to keep a distance.

"Okay, you continue working. I have to get back to work." Rong Zhen came back to her senses, pushed Alan away, turned around and hurried back to the small building. The red thorn flowers on the side of her bun trembled and swayed in the wind as she walked, not knowing whose eyes she dazzled and whose heart she captivated.

In the next few days, when Rongzhen came down to patrol again, she rarely went near the fence. Occasionally, she would call Daisy to inform Alan of something, such as when it was time to eat, rest, or collect some benefits. She never left him out of anything that others had.

But Rongzhen never had any contact with Allen again.

The main reason was that she was afraid that she would not be able to resist the temptation of beauty, and one day she would accidentally harm an innocent man, which would be a disaster.

She was thinking about Allen. His life was already hard enough, and she couldn't make it worse. What would she become if she did that?

Therefore, it is very necessary for the two to keep a certain distance.

But Alan didn't know.

He thought Rongzhen's sudden estrangement was due to some dissatisfaction with him, so he went to Daisy and asked, "Did I do something wrong to make Jenny hate me?"

"No." Daisy was surprised, because she didn't realize that Miss Jenny hated Alan at all. On the contrary, she was quite concerned about him and would glance at him through the window from time to time.

Sometimes when she saw him planting thorns under the scorching sun, Miss Jenny would ask her to bring him a glass of thirst-quenching ice juice. She cared about him all the time and didn't seem to be annoying at all.

After hearing this, Alan's dejection was swept away and he instantly became energetic.

Daisy, like a child, analyzed the reasons for him and said that the reason why Miss Jenny didn't have much contact with him was probably to avoid giving him special treatment under everyone's nose, so that he wouldn't be excluded by everyone and have difficulty integrating into the working environment of the farm.

After all, he is a newcomer. Not only is he prettier than everyone else, but if he is also looked down upon by his employer's family, he will surely be hated and his life will surely be difficult in the future.

So Miss Jenny is doing this for his own good, so don't let your imagination run wild.

Alan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't suppress the curled corners of his mouth.

Jenny is such a kind lady who cares about others. It would be perfect if she could only use her kindness on him from now on.

Unfortunately he can't, he doesn't deserve it.

Thinking of his own disability and the racial differences, the elf who had just stood up collapsed again.

Daisy saw him suddenly turn around and continue working, his back seemed to be about to break, and she scratched her cheek in confusion.

What’s going on? Didn’t I just persuade him?

If you don't understand something, ask Miss Jenny.

Daisy followed this principle very well and told Rongzhen about the conversation between her and Allen, as well as the latter's inexplicable mood changes.

Rong Zhen, who has rich emotional experience, immediately realized why Allen was worried about her.

That night under the window of the small building, he had said something similar to a confession, and now he is doing it again, it is almost obvious what he is thinking.

He liked her and wanted to be close to her, but he was worried about something and didn't dare to take that step himself. He could only use his eager eyes to attract her to come forward, waiting for her to get closer, waiting for her to close the distance between them. He would be happy for her closeness and sad for her alienation.

As for what he was worried about, Rongzhen could probably guess that it was most likely his disability.

In fact, not having ears is not considered a disability for him. His face is enough to support everything. When people see him, they completely ignore the existence of ears. So it doesn’t matter whether he has ears or not, and it does not affect his hearing.

But Alan seemed to care a lot, and thought that others, especially her, cared a lot.

Alas, what a pure boy's heart.

Rongzhen couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Will Farm would need an heir sooner or later to take over the management and inheritance from her. According to the original owner's wishes, she couldn't just find an outsider to inherit the farm, so why not...

Hehe, let’s see how someone performs. Anyway, she is still young and has plenty of time to find a suitable candidate.

Just as she was thinking this during the day, someone came to her window sill at night and quietly hummed a serenade.

Fortunately, he knew to lower his voice and not disturb others, so that the singing could only be heard faintly by Rongzhen.

When she got up to open the window, the guy, like a coward, stirred up the water and ran away.

Then he came again the next night, humming some lingering tunes, which were sticky and beautiful, and he was just short of making it clear that he was interested in her.

Unfortunately, when Rongzhen went to open the window to look for him, she often couldn't find him. At most, she would see a fleeing back, as if he was afraid that she would bring it up and say no, but also afraid that she would really agree.

He knew that he was not worthy of her, but he could not resist the instinctive urge to woo her. Every time, he could only take advantage of the moonlight to quietly come to her window sill and sing a few love songs to express the feelings in his heart that he could hardly suppress.

He didn't expect her to respond, but he also hoped that she would respond. He was full of contradictions and couldn't control his emotions.

After a week of this, Rongzhen finally couldn't stand it anymore. From the initial novelty and fun, she turned into numbness and a dark face now.

Oh, dark circles under the eyes to be exact.

That guy Alan comes over in the middle of the night every day and just lights fires without putting them out, which has seriously affected her sleep.

If Rong Zhen wanted to pity him and take things slowly before, now he just wants to punish him in one go!

Rongzhen gritted her teeth and was about to ask Daisy to call the guy over during the day and not give him any chance to escape, but Daisy first brought the gatekeeper over to tell her that there was a distinguished guest visiting.

Then a tall figure walked in from behind the gatekeeper, with his back to the light, and smiled at her with his arms open: "Jenny, I'm here to see you."

Rong Zhen saw her height that was different from that of a human, her loose pink hair and her very familiar ethereal voice, and instantly confirmed the identity of the visitor.

"Aliya?!"
