Chapter 31
Su Ran waited quietly.
If Rose had expressions, he would definitely be very calm, just like a human.
Finally, the test results appeared before our eyes.
Su Ran's eyes fell on it.
The name column had the words "Su Ran" written on it, and below it was a distortion value of 29, which indicated the possibility of a second form leaking out. Under certain conditions, the distorted object might appear in another form.
——Finally, at the very bottom, the final conclusion of this test is written.
After just one glance, Su Ran jumped up and grabbed the two corners of the paper with his blades: "It's a benign aberration!"
That’s great.
This way he can stay with the colonel!
Su Ran was so happy that she wanted to spin in circles.
At this moment, he saw Lulu beside him also took the report.
It is also a benign aberration.
However, Lulu's value is a little higher than his, with a distortion value of 29.5.
"I said it's okay!" Su Ran said, "We are all benign."
"Gurgle."
The little mushroom purred twice and tapped the screen with its tentacles.
"You mean the existing distortion indicators?" Su Ran said as he folded the paper. "I don't know about that. I'll have to ask the colonel."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ran grabbed Lulu and ran out of the testing point.
He folded the human paper into a size that could be waved by a leaf. The moment he saw Si Chengyan, he waved the paper: "I'm here!"
At this time, he and Lulu were standing at the door.
Many residents came to take the deformed objects back, and they kept looking at them through the silver fence.
——This scene is a bit like the time when he got out of class at Rose Kindergarten and the elders came to pick him up.
Yes, even the way the colonel took a sip of Biluochun now is what Elder Rose likes to do.
Su Ran naturally stretched out her leaves and asked for a hug.
He didn't know whether Si Chengyan held Lulu or not, but when he got into the car and sat in the back seat with his seatbelt fastened, he saw Lulu's gray little tentacles and realized that Lulu might not have been held.
Su Ran patted Lulu to comfort her.
In his opinion, if he finds someone like Colonel Si in the future, Lulu can also ask for a hug.
The car slowly began to move.
The detection point became farther away in the field of vision, and gradually turned into a black dot.
The humid steam came again.
They seemed to be everywhere, like purple mist, coming in through the seams of the car.
Su Ran shook the leaves with a bit of disgust.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Si Chengyan who was driving.
"What's wrong?" Si Chengyan glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Did it hurt just now?"
Su Ran waved the leaves: "No."
He paused for a few seconds and said, "Just... I want to ask about the definition of the distortion value. When will it be updated?"
"next week."
"That……"
"Don't worry too much." Si Chengyan said, "Although we will re-evaluate, this value has not changed for a long time."
Su Ran felt relieved: "Really?"
Si Chengyan: "Currently."
Su Ran tapped the flower bud. So that's what it is.
He looked at the colonel, only to find that his gaze was also on him.
It seems different from before.
But Su Ran couldn't explain what it was.
Perhaps because the official documents have not been issued, he still lives in Haicheng under the name "the original benign aberration".
Su Ran obediently followed Si Chengyan back home.
After finishing his shower, he stayed on the balcony and looked out the window for a while.
The sea at night was different from before. It seemed to carry an indescribable sense of danger—the dim horizon weighed it all down. The waves crashed against the sharp cliffs, making a roar like that of a wild beast.
"Go to sleep." Si Chengyan came over and put a small cloak on Su Ran. "You don't need to follow me tomorrow. Rest here."
Su Ran: "No."
"If it doesn't bother you," Su Ran said, "you can let me stay in your pocket."
After all, he can be an invisible rose!
Thinking of this, Su Ran and Si Chengyan agreed on a plan for tomorrow.
I'll accompany him to the meeting first, because the residents of the Hanging Island will be officially matched into Sea City tomorrow, and there will be a lot of matters to deal with - such as the registration of deformed humans and the sheltering of Sea City, and all of these require cooperation from the military and the local shelter.
As a little rose of mankind, Su Ran is already familiar with this.
The main departments of humanity are divided into bases, the military, and the Institute of Qualitative Change.
Attached to them were some minor departments. Su Ran had seen these in the colonel's booklet before. They were densely packed and were responsible for human distortion, resource utilization, and the basics of life.
They are all managed uniformly by the "base". Whether it is a new city or an old city, this central department is needed.
The new city relies on the main base.
Countless old cities will also have a branch base for management.
However, for humans, it is very risky to expose the base completely under distortion activities. Therefore, the base is often located in a very hidden place, and only the military and research institutes know the real location.
So... most of the docking needs to be done by Si Chengyan and others.
Still very busy.
When Su Ran was rescued by the colonel, he was still thinking about this.
He couldn't help Si Chengyan share any of the burden, and all he could do was to provide healing power - but Anna still needed to be tested, so he couldn't be there and just be a medic.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Su Ran answered obediently, "I just thought... you're so busy."
Si Chengyan: "I got used to it a long time ago."
Su Ran stayed in his palm and looked at him: "Then don't tell me stories today."
After all, it's been very hard.
Have a good rest.
But despite Su Ran's thoughts, Si Chengyan refused to agree. He laid Su Ran on the bed and spread out a specially made quilt beside her. Human quilts were still too thick and heavy, and he wasn't sure if they would crush the rose stems. So, he used a small piece of curtain cloth and a towel to make a special quilt for Su Ran.
As soon as he put it on, Su Ran immediately had a little red heart: "Little quilt!"
Before she could finish the word "ji", Little Rose disappeared and quickly got into this special little quilt.
After a while, when he felt the bed sink and Si Chengyan also fell asleep on it, Su Ran poked out her little flower bud: "Actually, the original quilt will be fine. You don't have to do anything for me..."
As he spoke, he twisted and turned, getting closer to Si Chengyan.
Then he stretched out the small leaf and gently placed it on the back of his hand.
They stared at each other for a few seconds.
After a while, Si Chengyan said, "Don't feel burdened."
"Um?"
"You're different from those military mutants, so you don't have to be so polite." Si Chengyan said, "Don't listen to what Qiao Ran said, it's meaningless."
"So." Su Ran held the flower bud and asked, "Then what am I?"
Si Chengyan was also stunned by this question.
To be honest, he hadn't thought about this. A long time ago, he understood that Su Ran's meaning to him was not that simple.
So he stroked Su Ran's small leaf and said, "It's nothing."
Su Ran: “?”
"Su Ran is Su Ran," Si Chengyan said. "There's no other way to say it, and he's not anyone's appendage."
Su Ran did not answer directly. He picked at the small leaves and looked at Si Chengyan quietly.
It seemed as if everything around me had become quiet, and even the sound of the waves could no longer be heard.
Si Chengyan sighed softly.
The dim light outlined his silhouette, which seemed to carry an indescribable sadness.
Su Ran didn't know the reason, but the only thing he knew was that the colonel must have recalled some memories.
Maybe it has something to do with the scar I saw when I tore the clothes before.
Su Ran gripped his fingertips even tighter.
It's like saying - it's okay, it's okay, everything will pass.
The whole room was silent for a few seconds.
Until the red moonlight from outside the window filtered in, filling the corners of the room, Si Chengyan whispered, "A bedtime story?"
Regarding this, Su Ran wanted to refuse outright.
However, the colonel just said that he doesn't want to be polite, nor does he want to be treated as an accessory like a "pet".
So Su Ran agreed.
He grunted as he climbed onto Si Chengyan's chest, resting his soft roots on it, then held up the flower bud to look at him.
"What do you want to hear?"
Su Ran thought for a few seconds and replied, "Daughter of the Sea?"
He had just finished reading Little Red Riding Hood last time and was in Haicheng right now, which was a perfect environment for storytelling.
Si Chengyan smiled faintly: "Okay."
He gently patted Su Ran's roots through the quilt and began to tell this fairy tale.
Su Ran also lay obediently on Si Chengyan's chest, feeling his breathing and heartbeat.
Inside the room, there is a rose and a human colonel - quiet and peaceful.
Beyond this, however, there were surging waves, quietly brewing something beyond their sight.
Later on, even Su Ran couldn't remember when he fell asleep.
He sank deeply into this ocean of fairy tales woven by humans, and gradually fell asleep under Si Chengyan's voice - in his dream, he seemed to have returned to the side of Elder Rose.
And he is still that little seedling, knowing nothing.
Then, the elder was so angry that his roots began to tremble.
At the end of this feeling, Su Ran actually felt a little uncomfortable.
——It’s an indescribable feeling, as if the entire leaf is stretched out, along with the flower bud, in a completely open state.
When Su Ran woke up the next morning, he felt something was wrong.
It seemed like... the blanket was no longer covering him and was kicked off by him.
And now he was covered with the colonel's big quilt.
You know what, the quilt is very warm, it’s human body temperature.
As for the size, it is just the right size, just like his own quilt.
Su Ran: "Hmm?"
——Just right?
He finally realized what was going on and opened his eyes.
At this moment, Si Chengyan had just woken up and looked down at Su Ran, who was holding him. His icy blue eyes reflected the delicate features of a young man. His eyes were wide open, and beneath his thick lashes, a look of surprise filled his eyes.
It was unknown how long it took before Su Ran came back to his senses.
How, how did he turn into a human form?
Didn't he just listen to a story before going to bed and his body shape was revealed?
However... no matter what conditions allowed him to become a human, Su Ran believed that the point was not here.
Because he had nothing now, and his arms were around the colonel's lower back, his head resting on the other's strong chest, the intimacy did not seem like something a rose could do.
Even though he had torn the colonel's clothes.
And in the future, he will do the same when necessary.
But, but.
This doesn't change the fact that he slept all night in this state, holding the colonel in his arms!
