Little Rose and His Human Colonel

Su Ran is a little rose raised by the human military. He remembers being a small green seedling when Colonel Si Chengyan picked him up and raised him. Every day, Su Ran would obediently lie on the windowsill, gazing outside, waiting for the Colonel to come home. Then, he would confidently pounce on him, burrow into his arms with soft grunts, and listen to him tell stories of the human world.

One day, while on a mission, Su Ran and his Colonel got separated. Following his memories, he traveled a long way, through swamps and abysses, wilderness and cliffs, just to find the human officer who watered him daily and wished for him to grow up quickly.

Finally, in a vine-covered cave, he saw those familiar, handsome brows and eyes. He stumbled over, innocently reaching out to touch the wounds on the other's body, torn by monsters, just as the Colonel had comforted him when he was scared by thunder before. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," he whispered. "Shall we go home?"

Si Chengyan rescued a little rose with special abilities from the abyss. In this apocalyptic era, plagued by the infection of the inanimate, this little rose was his everything. When the human base fell and orders were issued to eradicate all mutated creatures, he secretly settled Su Ran in the wilderness to protect him.

As the representative of humanity's strongest fighting force, even with the arrival of the apocalypse and the awakening of special abilities, he had never been afraid. Until that beautiful young man appeared before him, softly comforting him, and a giant creature that wanted to devour this rose appeared behind him. Only then did Si Chengyan realize that fear could instantly overwhelm all reason.

Later, one day, they leaned against each other on the tower of the human base—the vast wilderness and long winds behind them, the starry sea before them, just like countless other nights. After finishing his daily watering, wet Su Ran threw himself into the Colonel's arms, curling his leaves against the other's chest, whining and pestering him for a bedtime story. Si Chengyan's breathing hitched for a moment. He grabbed the restless little leaf poking his waist. "...Don't move around so much."

Su Ran sweetly pleaded, "I just want to hug you." Si Chengyan asked, "Are you sure you want to continue?" "Mhm!" Su Ran looked at the rumored sternest and strongest Colonel, unconsciously seductive, and wrapped his arms around his neck, giving him a loud kiss. "I like Colonel Si the most!"
