Chapter 74
Su Ran looked at Si Chengyan seriously.
He held the slender wrist tightly, his expression nervous, and just looked at the other person.
After a few seconds, Si Chengyan said, "It's okay."
"Really?"
"Um."
Su Ran looked at him for a while.
Until the end, he nodded: "I understand."
He curled himself up, hugged his knees with his hands, like a little rose curling its leaves, and said nothing more.
So Si Chengyan walked over and gently rubbed his soft hair: "What's wrong?"
"This wound... looks scary." Su Ran raised his eyes. "Even if it's okay, when will it heal?"
——Because it’s too ugly.
He is a beautiful little rose, but having spots like this really affects his appearance.
So Su Ran grabbed Si Chengyan's sleeve, looked up and repeated, "I want... I want to make this place better as soon as possible."
Si Chengyan: "I promise."
"How long?"
As soon as Su Ran said this, she seemed to think of something and stepped back a bit: "I'm sorry... I was just asking."
He doesn't want to be a willful little rose.
Besides, it's just a rose.
While he was constantly thinking, Si Chengyan came over at some point, sat down and looked at him.
The deep blue eyes were like the blue ocean, hiding some emotions, but after just a few seconds of looking at each other, those emotions disappeared in a flash.
This time, when Su Ran heard his answer, she felt relieved.
He nodded, smiled at Si Chengyan, and sat quietly on the bed, clutching the corner of the quilt. Guji and the others had also arrived. These little ones, who had been placed in the artificial cultivation area from before, all held small fruits in their tentacles and lined up to visit Su Ran.
They jumped up, octopus tentacles wrapped around mushroom caps, and surrounded Su Ran like a pile of monks.
Su Ran smiled and said, "I'm sorry for making you go through so much danger."
When they heard this, they all grumbled, as if to say that it didn't matter.
In such an environment, Su Ran's tense nerves relaxed a little.
He hadn't experienced this for a long time - being able to meet his old friends for a short time in this place where he didn't have to sleep in the open air. So Su Ran played with them for a while and suddenly remembered something.
He looked at Si Chengyan and saw that his gaze was also on him.
It only took a few seconds for everything to become clear.
"The elder is resting." Si Chengyan said, "I'll ask him to come over when he wakes up."
Su Ran: "I can just go over there."
"You just woke up and are very weak." Si Chengyan said, "It's okay, leave everything to me."
When he said this, Su Ran clutched his quilt tightly. His pale face flushed a little. After a while, he nodded with relief.
After that, Su Ran stayed obediently on the hanging island.
It had been a long time since he had turned back into a rose. Every time he wanted to return to his original form and dry his roots, he would be stopped by Anna.
According to her, turning into a rose would consume more physical energy and would not be conducive to recovery.
But even so, although the wound did not spread, spots of varying shades of color appeared on the skin.
He could only take pictures of these changes to show to the colonel.
After that day, Si Chengyan left the Hanging Island, and no one told Su Ran what he was investigating or what mission he was carrying out.
But every time he came back, he would always bring some small photos for Su Ran.
The material of these photos is very special, a special material that can only be seen at night - there are fruits covered with barbs, five-pointed pine cones, and unknown small creatures covered with round flowers, hiding in places full of leucanthemums.
When Si Chengyan was in the wild, Su Ran took these photos and wondered how the colonel took the photos.
Finally one day, when Si Chengyan came back, he didn't leave immediately.
"We're staying for a week this time...right?" Su Ran took the dog ball juice from Si Chengyan, "We'll be leaving again after that."
Si Chengyan: "Yeah."
Su Ran twirled the straw in her juice and grumbled softly, "It's been a while since we've been together..."
He glanced at Si Chengyan, continued stirring the juice, and kept muttering.
At this moment, Su Ran saw a photo being pushed towards him by Si Chengyan.
This is a lighthouse-like building, standing on a completely flat place. The background in the distance is dark, giving Su Ran a complete reverie.
"This is the tallest building on Hanging Island, and it's still under construction." Si Chengyan's voice was very soft, as if he was telling Su Ran a story. "It's called the Lighthouse Research Institute."
"This is covered with the most advanced Bokeh and radar systems, which can help us detect many places outside the world." He said, "Only in this way can we expand the human migration area and move this suspended island to a safer place."
Su Ran: "This place is very similar to the one I've been to before."
"That painting?"
"right."
He responded softly, then asked, "Will this tower be used for research in the future?"
"What's wrong?"
"I really want to go up and take a look." Su Ran leaned on Si Chengyan's shoulder, "In this photo now, you can't see the scenery in the distance."
Si Chengyan grabbed his fingertips: "Then...what do you want to do?"
"I think..." Su Ran lowered her eyelashes obediently, "When the world is peaceful and the research institute is abandoned, it will become a true beacon..."
"We can sit up there and look at the stars together."
