Chapter 58: The Friends Gather in the Ward
Kunwu Yecheng glanced sideways at the blue-haired youth by the bed, a hidden smile in his eyes, and replied, "Okay, I'll contact Xiao Meng if I need anything."
Meng Xin also:........
Before they could exchange more than a few words, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.
"Dye it!"
Rhine rushed to Shanran, looked her up and down, and only after confirming that she was alright did he murmur, "You're finally awake."
She looked much thinner and her face was pale. Rhine didn't dare touch her, afraid of hurting her in any way.
"Ranran, I'm so glad you're alright, I..."
Rhine suddenly couldn't continue. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together.
Aside from when they were kissing, this was the first time Shanran had seen his eyes redden.
The usually impeccably dressed young nobleman now had a wrinkled shirt, dusty trousers, and disheveled hair, clearly indicating that he had flown here at an extremely fast pace.
Shanran reached out and tugged at Rhine's hand, blinking, "I'm fine now, don't worry. I can be discharged in a few days after I've fully recovered, so don't worry too much..."
"How could I not be worried!" Rhine interrupted her, but then realized he was being too hasty and his tone was harsh.
He softened his tone, "Ranran, don't pay attention to what's being said online. Don't go into the fog again; it's too dangerous."
Shanran hadn't checked her phone since waking up, but even without seeing it, she could guess some things.
As for what Rhine mentioned, she really couldn't agree to it.
She plans to continue her efforts and achieve even greater success. She wants to enter another world and bring down all those arrogant people from their pedestals, otherwise she would be letting down her own self, who is called an ant.
But now.....
Shan Ran glanced up at Rhine and saw his worry and urgency. It seemed that Rhine would never compromise unless she agreed.
So she laughed it off and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and won't let you worry like this anymore."
"Ranran," Meng Xin nuzzled Shan Ran's hand, "you have no idea how I got through those days. I couldn't sleep for days on end..."
Even if Rhine has a good temper, he's now furious. He's waiting for Ranran's guarantee. What are you doing here, you green tea b*tch?
Just as Rhine was about to say something, the door was pushed open again.
Meng Xinye: So annoying, why don't these people know how to knock on the door!
"Captain Shanran! It's so good that you're awake!"
"Captain Shanran, we've come to see you!"
A large group of people pushed and shoved their way in, instantly making the originally spacious single hospital room feel crowded.
The visitors were members of Sofia's team and Kunwu's team, along with Zack and Wu Chuyu.
Wu Chuyu couldn't help but cry when she saw Shan Ran. She cried much louder than Meng Xin, with tears and snot streaming down her face. She shook her head and smiled bitterly at Shan Ran, and gave her a few tissues.
"Waaaaah, Boss Shan, you have no idea how worried I was those past few days! But my brother wouldn't let me go, saying he didn't want to cause trouble for others. I missed you so much, waaaaah..."
As she spoke, she tried to hug Shanran, but was stopped by Rhine.
He spoke politely but indifferently, with a great sense of distance, as if the person who had just teared up in front of Shan Ran was not him at all, "Ran Ran has just woken up and her injuries have not healed yet, do not touch her."
Wu Chuyu quickly withdrew her outstretched hands, nodding hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I was just too happy, I got too excited. Boss Shan, take good care of your injuries. My brother and Sister Wendy are all waiting for you to come back. Don't worry, the base has been well maintained lately, and everyone firmly believes you're alright. Sure enough, I knew Boss Shan was amazing! You don't know what people outside are saying..."
After Wu Chuyu finished her rambling, Chu Liuxing sighed. He glanced at the round-faced girl, wondering why she had so much to say.
He walked to the bedside and handed Shanran a bag filled with small coconuts.
He smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Captain Shanran, I've been saving up all these coconuts. I was going to share some with you and our captain, but he refused, saying they'd all be yours. Our captain woke up before you, and you have no idea how much he's suffered every day since he woke up. He comes to check on you every now and then."
The doctors all said that if he didn't take good care of his injury, it would reopen, but our captain just wouldn't listen. He refused so many things we sent him, saying he wanted to save them for you. And here they are, brought them to you. I even saw him secretly wiping away tears a few times..."
A few coughs suddenly came from the corner, interrupting Chu Liuxing's words.
Chu Liuxing froze, slowly turned his head, and was surprised to see his captain sitting on the sofa not far away.
What's the captain doing here??
Chu Liuxing broke out in a cold sweat instantly, nearly dropping the bag in his hand in fright.
Rhine, standing to the side, accepted the bags of items expressionlessly and said calmly, "Thank you."
"Captain, what are you doing here?"
Maxim was very perceptive. "Since Captain Shanran has woken up, our captain will definitely come to visit her as soon as possible."
"Oh, oh right, yes, Captain, you're so fast! We rushed over as soon as we heard the news, but we still can't outrun you. You truly are our captain, hahaha..."
Chu Liuxing's last few laughs were extremely dry and strained. One of the people behind him couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him aside.
An enormous flower basket was stretched out and nearly hit Shan Ran's face.
It is now the apocalypse. Large tracts of land outside are polluted. The few clean lands are mostly used to grow edible plants such as rice and vegetables, and very few are used to grow flowers. The number of flowers has dropped rapidly.
Another method is to induce some plant-based ability users to produce flowers.
The flower basket in front of him contained flowers of various shapes and sizes, lacking any artistic flair; it was simply a large, mass-produced display. Shan Ran understood that these were flowers belonging to people with supernatural abilities.
With so many flowers, I wonder how many superhumans Captain Sophia has taken advantage of. She really went to great lengths.
"Captain Shanran, on behalf of our team, I sincerely thank you for saving our team members' lives during this operation. All, salute!"
This team was not a professional unit, and their salute was not very standard, but their sincerity was evident, and Shanran gladly accepted it.
"You're too kind, I appreciate your thanks."
After giving her formal thanks, Sophia felt a little more relaxed. She said very sincerely, "Captain Shanran, I, Sophia, owe you my life. I'm telling you this now: if you ever need anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water!"
"Captain Shanran, thank you so much! If you ever need to increase your luck stat in the future, just contact me and I'll definitely save some for you in advance!"
Tong Lu handed over a small knitted horn sculpture, which she had made herself. "Captain Shanran, I think your superpower is really cool, so I made this for you. Please don't mind it."
Shanran happily accepted the little woolen horned eagle, poked its little head, and said, "It's so cute, thank you, I like it very much."
Rhine, who was standing to the side, saw Shanran holding the little horned eagle. His heart, which had just been a little sour, was suddenly filled with a sweet feeling. He felt like he was sucking on a lemon-flavored lollipop, which was sour and sweet, but he couldn't bear to throw it away no matter what.
Meng Xin watched Shan Ran play with the plush horned eagle, and silently glanced at her own mental world.
How do you make plush toys that are water-based and agile?
The others presented their gifts one after another. When it was Lin Mo's turn, his eyes reddened, and he tried hard to hold back his tears, almost bursting into tears.
Meng Xinye: ...I won't cry anymore for a while, it's pointless.
After Sofia's team had finished delivering their gifts, Zack stepped forward.
"Miss Shan, this time it was my fault. I received incorrect information and failed to detect it in time, which almost cost you your lives. I am truly sorry."
After saying that, Zak bowed to Shan Ran.
Shan Ran accepted it with a clear conscience.
During their conversation, Shanran vaguely guessed the trend online; she was currently a very popular figure.
Zach's actions were not only an apology, but also a gesture of goodwill.
Moreover, judging from their attitude, they have clearly placed Shan Ran in a high position.
Zack's goal was simple and direct: he wanted to leverage his earlier acquaintance with Shan Ran and his parents' connections to get on board before the other bases arrived.
He wasn't just saying it; he then said that he had sent a lot of things to the Good Luck Base, some for the base and some specifically for Shan Ran.
He also stated that Zack's Pengfei Base would be happy to help Shanran with any needs in the future, and gave Shanran a high-level position within the base, so she could directly instruct her subordinates to do things.
Under Zack's command and the operation of the core team, Pengfei Base is developing rapidly. The mixed personnel has both advantages and disadvantages. Unlike Shanran's elite model, Pengfei Base is destined to become a large base.
It's like she has a nominal position in this large base, which isn't bad.
Zack abandoned his previous smooth demeanor towards Shan Ran, showing respect in every way. This is what people who are particularly good at dealing with people are like; they can bend and stretch, and they will not hesitate to change when necessary, and the process is very smooth, without making anyone feel uncomfortable.
A group of people gathered around the hospital bed, chatting noisily.
Sofia carried Valentina's ashes with her, and the fact that everyone else was still able to chat peacefully after surviving the ordeal moved her to tears.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Sofia burst into tears.
Once someone started crying, the others followed suit, and even Wu Chuyu, who had finally managed to stop crying, joined in the sobbing.
For some reason, Maxim felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He touched the area around his heart, took out a handkerchief with his other hand, and blew his nose while crying.
Chu Liuxing was also infected by this emotion, and his heart was somewhat agitated. He gritted his teeth, but in the end he couldn't help it, so he simply turned his back, hugged his captain, and cried loudly.
Kunwu Yecheng expressionlessly pushed Chu Liuxing's face away a little to avoid getting tears and snot on his body.
