Chapter 364 You Look More Beautiful without Makeup than with Makeup

Sona's sudden emotional outburst was not caused overnight, but was caused by the accumulation of more than ten years since she could remember.

As an abandoned orphan, she was adopted by the monks of Shilana Monastery in Ionia's Galen Province when she was a baby, and she had no worries about food and clothing.

Although she was born aphasic, due to her kind personality, she is very caring and considerate of others, especially children of the same age who will always come to her when they need comfort.

But this does not mean that Sona will not be bullied because of this.

Because she cannot speak, and it is difficult to communicate without a unified sign language in Ionia, Sona will still be ridiculed and maliciously imitated by children with bad personalities and overbearing behaviors when she occasionally goes out.

The "little angel" who usually cares most about others has become the target of bullying and fun by some people.

Even if the monks and teachers noticed this and stopped it, it would be a long time later.

Not only that, those teachers who came to the monastery and took the initiative to teach the children music theory discovered little Sona's only precious possession-Jihua.

Although we don’t know the origin of this strange-looking guqin, it doesn’t stop a few people with evil intentions from racking their brains to make it their own.

It was not until Sona later learned how to play the instrument and was surprised to discover the connection between herself and it that she gained the ability to protect herself for the first time, frightening those who dared to bully her.

However, these experiences undoubtedly left a lingering shadow deep in the heart of little Sona.

When the Noxian invasion of Ionia later broke out, the monks in the monastery contacted a merchant ship from Demacia in order to prevent these children from being affected.

Before Noxus completely blocked the west coast, this Demacia merchant ship carried orphans from all the monasteries in Galen Province, including Sona, on a journey that lasted several months.

Being away from home and homeless is also one of the main culprits that can cause trauma to an immature child.

Fortunately, Sona met the kind-hearted Bouvier couple. Even if they discovered that she could use magic, they did not dislike her.

But no matter what, the Bouviers are Demacians after all, and Sona is Ionian. They are still different after all.

The language barrier alone took them a long time to communicate normally using their own sign language.

Now, Sona has met Li Lin, who is also an Ionian. Moreover, he is the first peer who can hear her inner voice and understand her. Why doesn't she feel excited and happy?

Due to various reasons, Sona's suppressed emotions broke out, and she cried silently in Li Lin's arms. The tears that emerged almost wet his chest.

Li Lin didn't know how to comfort her.

Sona's experience was tragic, not only in the past, but also in the future in the original world line.

Without his intervention, Barrett would have died in the recent battle at the Gate of Sorrow, and the Bouvier family, which had lost its pillar, would have fallen apart.

From birth to growing up for almost twenty years, Sona spent her entire life in exile.

Out of comprehensive considerations, he still thought it would be better to let Sona vent her emotions.

Li Lin sighed, put one hand around her waist, and patted her back with the other hand, as a comfort that was better than nothing.

"Cry, have a good cry, everything will be fine..."

After an unknown amount of time, Sona's body gradually stopped twitching from crying. She raised her red eyes and glanced at Li Lin.

But then, recalling what she had just done, she wiped the tears from her cheeks, looked down, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Sorry, I got emotional."

"Everyone has their own moments of emotional breakdown." Li Lin shook his head and comforted, "Actually, crying loudly to vent your emotions is one of the best ways to do it."

In order to help Sona get out of her sadness quickly, he intentionally stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, and said in a teasing tone: "Look at you, you're crying like a little cat."

"How can there be..."

Sona gently hammered Li Lin's chest, but when she felt the wetness on her fingers, she noticed that a large area of ​​his chest was wet with her own tears, and she couldn't help feeling a little apologetic and panicked in her heart.

"I'm very sorry, I took your clothes..."

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Li Lin glanced down and waved his hands indifferently. This was not a problem at all.

He just snapped his fingers, and the nanomaterial transformed, filtering and evaporating the water almost in the blink of an eye.

Looking again, there was no trace of moisture on his dress.

Sona's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "How amazing! Is this using... uh, that rice technology?"

"Yes, the power of science."

Li Linggang chuckled, but then noticed Sona's face stained with tears and couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss—you can't let Kashina see you like this, or she will kill me."

Sona was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what Li Lin was referring to, and when she touched her face, she panicked.

"I'm so sorry! This is my fault..." she said anxiously, "I, I will explain it to Kashina and my parents!"

"No, I have a better way."

Li Lin controlled part of his clothes to separate, and the rest of the nanomaterials quickly filled in and returned to their original state.

The separated part quickly transformed into a drone and entered the stealth state of "optical camouflage".

"This is?"

Sona's somewhat red eyes flashed with curiosity. She had never seen anything other than magic that could do such a magical thing.

"Nano drones can change forms freely."

Li Lin explained briefly, then controlled the drone to quickly fly to the small square below, where there happened to be a fountain.

He planned to turn the drone into a "water basin" and hold some water for Sona to wash her face.

It just so happened that everyone in Dawn Castle was celebrating happily, and there were no street lights in Demacia at night, only torches, and the illumination was limited. Basically no one would pay attention to an insignificant small fountain.

The drone scooped a large basin of water from the fountain without incident and re-delivered it to the top terrace of the Glorious Hall.

Sona quickly washed off the stained makeup on her face, then took Li Lin's handkerchief and wiped the water clean.

"Thanks."

Li Lin took the handkerchief away from her hand, blended it into his clothes again, and said with a smile, "You look much more beautiful without makeup than with makeup."

Sona's cheeks, which had just returned to normal temperature, started to heat up again, "No, no way... you are talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. This is a fact. Even if it were anyone else, they would have the same opinion as me."

Sona did not send any more messages to Li Lin, but gave him an angry look, then squatted down, covered the wooden box containing the flowers, and picked it up.

"Let me do it."

Li Lin took the initiative to take the not-so-heavy Zuo Hua, but Sona did not stop him.

"It's getting late, we have to go back quickly." She took Li Lin's hand again without thinking, "If Kashina can't find us for so long, she will definitely start talking nonsense again."

It would be better if Sona didn't mention it. After saying this, Li Lin suddenly thought of Zoe who had been "abandoned" by him, and his heart suddenly tightened.

broken!

How could I forget Zoe!

Li Lin couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly said to Sona: "Yes, we have to go back quickly..."
