Chapter 133 You treat me like an older brother, then what about that older brother...?
The moment Gano turned around, his smile vanished, and he returned to his cold, expressionless state.
Kunwu Yecheng quietly observed Ganuo.
The boy was someone Shan Ran met on the second continent, but he knew nothing about the boy's background.
He sensed a very dangerous aura emanating from the boy, a perception honed through years of special forces training. He was certain that the boy's ability level was higher than his own.
However, the boy's danger is only directed outwards. Everyone except Shan Ran is vulnerable. When facing Shan Ran, his eyes are clear, gentle, and harmless.
The contrast is too great.
Especially when the boy smiled, Kunwu Yecheng felt a strong sense of incongruity, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
Ever since he saw the black snake transform into a boy, he had been silently observing it.
The boy noticed, but like a coiled-up resting snake, he didn't react at all and ignored him.
The boy's attention was entirely focused on Shan Ran.
I really want to use synesthesia to feel my sister's feelings at this moment.
I want to know why she's laughing so happily, and I want to feel the same way as her.
But that won't work.
Gano pinched his thigh hard with his hand under the table.
My sister isn't used to using synesthesia with him, and she'll definitely dislike it if I use it without her permission.
If you dislike him, you might end up disliking him.
No, it cannot be abandoned.
He forced himself to resist and finally suppressed the urge to use synesthesia.
Cheng Liucong and Wei Qing, who were furthest apart, huddled together, covering their mouths with their hands, gossiping in a whisper, as if afraid of being overheard.
Their two pairs of four eyes sparkled as they looked back and forth across the table where their captain, Gano, and Shanran were sitting in the distance.
"Jealous! Jealous! This new kid is surprisingly jealous!"
"Of course, our captain doesn't even dare to throw his chopsticks when he's jealous. He's quite bold."
"Hey, young people like that, so impatient. Look at his appearance, he's still a teenager. Our captain must be about ten years older than that kid."
"You mean Captain Lao?"
"Pah! Don't slander me, don't try to trap me."
"Hehe, you know what I mean, what Meteor said just now sounds pretty convincing. I think Captain Shanran's table really does look like a wedding banquet's main table."
Do you think there will really be wedding banquets in the future?
"Ah... that's hard to say. Who will sit at the head table at Captain Shanran's wedding banquet?"
"Oh my, hahaha, our captain has to be at the table, right? One, two, three, four... Oh my, the scene, just thinking about it is exciting, I want to see it, I love to see it."
"Hehehehe, I want to see it too..."
The two got more and more excited as they talked, trying to hide their laughter in their palms, when Cheng Liucong was suddenly bumped by something.
Looking back, he saw that it was Maxim who had hit him.
"What's wrong?"
Maxim sat up straight, glanced at Cheng Liucong with a strange expression, and gave him a meaningful look.
Looking in the direction he indicated, Cheng Liucong and Wei Qing saw their captain staring at them.
"........"
"???"
"Since you're so free, run 50 laps around the resort after dinner."
Kui Qing, with a long face, wailed, "Captain, this place is nothing like our team's! This resort is huge! 50 laps will kill me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Liu quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.
Wei Qing suddenly realized something, his eyes widened in horror, and he shook his head frantically at his captain.
Meeting the boss's cold, stern gaze, Cheng Liu quickly replied, "Great, great, great! 50 laps is wonderful! We love running, don't you think, Lao Wei?"
A few drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Wei Qing changed his head shake to a nod, nodding vigorously, as if afraid that the captain would add 100 laps.
Chu Liuxing covered her mouth and chuckled, but remembering that her captain was in a bad mood, she dared not laugh anymore and forced herself to hold it back.
After the meal, someone came to lead them to their prepared rooms, and Wei Qing and Cheng Liu went to run laps with long faces.
Whether it was intentional or not, Shanran's room was quite far from the members of Gano and Kunwu's team, separated by two buildings.
Gano stood behind Shanran, gazing at her retreating figure with a melancholy expression.
He remembered every scene in the illusion very clearly, especially in the later stages, after Shan Ran gained superpowers, the two became very close and went in and out of many places together.
However, they were very tacit and never took the initiative to talk about their relationship.
At that time, Shan Ran was preoccupied with revenge and didn't think much about the future. She didn't want to make any promises to avoid giving people unnecessary hope.
Kogano now wants a promise.
This promise won't be a burden for Shanran; as long as he stays with her and she doesn't send him away, that's enough.
Why make a promise? All you need to do is stay by your sister's side; no promise won't change that. So why chase after a promise?
Gano's pupils contracted, and he almost lost control of his expression, on the verge of crying.
He had been wondering why his brother, who would occasionally appear in the illusion, hadn't spoken since they came out.
[Brother, is that you?]
If he could speak, his voice would be trembling and hoarse.
After a long period of mental blankness, the voice spoke again.
[Fool, if you consider me your older brother, then your older brother will always be here...]
Okay, I'll do as you say.
"Sir? Sir? Are you alright?" The man who had led the way for the Lawrence family saw the guest standing there with his head down and asked him with some confusion.
The black-haired boy looked up and grinned. "It's alright, let's go."
——
Rhine prepared a very large room for Shanran, and the bedding was very comfortable.
After emerging from the fog, there was a flurry of activity, and after a hearty meal, I felt even more exhausted.
She cleaned herself with water and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely felt my phone vibrating.
The white light on the phone screen kept flashing. Shanran opened her eyes, drowsily picked up the phone, and glanced at it.
Shanran didn't have a chance to rest all day and didn't even have time to check her messages properly. Many people wanted to contact her, and group messages kept popping up.
In the internal group chat of the high-level executives of the Good Luck Base, there were already 99+ messages. Shan Ran scrolled up for a long time.
Wu Chuyu: [Boss Shan, Boss Shan, calling for Boss Shan!]
Hey Shan Laoda, let me tell you, my brother died a long time ago in the illusion. I've been with you the whole time, and he's still holding a grudge, hahaha.
Wu Chuci: "You just got incredibly lucky."
Wu Chuyu: [But I accompanied Boss Shan to the safe zone, and you didn't even get to see him.]
Wu Chuci: [?? You died in the safe zone, and you didn't stay with Boss Shan afterward.]
Wu Chuyu: [But I accompanied Boss Shan to the safe zone.]
Wu Chu Ci: 【！！！】
Wu Chuyu: [But I accompanied Boss Shan to the safe zone.]
Wu Chu Ci: [...]
Meng Xinye: [That's good enough.]
Wu Chuyu: [Right, why do I seem to have never seen Xiao Meng around Boss Shan?]
Meng Xin also: [...]
Wu Chuyu: [That's so strange. So you had a dream and lost all your previous memories, Xiao Meng? You don't recognize Boss Shan anymore, right?]
Meng Xinye: 【...You continue talking to your brother, don't pay attention to me.】
Wu Chuyu: [No, I'm really curious, Xiao Meng, did you actually meet Boss Shan in your dream?]
Meng Xinye: [I met him.]
Wu Chuyu: [We met, so why didn't you come with us? Mr. Rhine had to go back home after Hainan Airlines opened because of family matters, but why didn't you even show up?]
Meng Xinye: [I don't have Ranran's contact information, and I don't know she went to the safe zone. After the safe zone was destroyed, my base took in many ordinary people, which also attracted the attention of the powerful families. Soon after, they turned their swords against those people, and I died while resisting.]
Wu Chuyu: [What happened after you died? After I died, I was probably filled with too much resentment. I thought to myself that even as a ghost, I wouldn't let them go, and I actually became a ghost, just drifting around near the safe zone. What about you? Did you become a ghost after you died?]
Meng Xinye: [No.]
Wu Chuyu: [Oh ho, are you not resentful enough, or do you have no lingering feelings for Boss Shan at all, so you're hurrying to be reincarnated?]
Meng Xinye: [?? It was just a dream, what kind of reincarnation could it be?]
Wu Chuci: [Ignore her; the more you pay attention, the more she'll escalate.]
Wu Chuyu: [Hey bro, don't be a sour grapes.]
Wu Chuci: [I can't stand you anymore, Xiao Meng, can you help me teach her a lesson?]
Wu Chuyu: [Brother, this is no fun. You can't argue with me or beat me, so you want to call in outside help, right? One of the base's rules is that you can't fight amongst yourselves unless you break the rules. Are you going to break that?]
Wu Chuci: [Hehe, this isn't internal strife, it's just that as an older brother, I need to teach you a lesson for being so disobedient.]
[...]
The two bickered back and forth for a while, with others joining in and fanning the flames, making the conversation lively and engaging. Then, Wu Chuyu suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wu Chuyu: [Where's Rhein? Why isn't he saying anything?]
Wu Chuci: [Do you think everyone talks as much as you? Rhine isn't usually very talkative, and it seems like Boss Shan went to his house. They're probably together; they wouldn't have time to reply to you.]
Wu Chuyu: [Is Boss Shan at Rhine's house? No wonder he hasn't had time to reply to us, hehe.]
The next second, Wu Chuyu retracted the message he had just sent, and Wu Chuci also retracted his previous message.
Almost simultaneously, Shan Ran's phone displayed a call from Meng Xinye.
Shan Ran answered the call.
"Ranran!" Meng Xin called out urgently from the other end of the line, "It's good that you answered the phone. Are you alone right now? Or...or are you with someone else?"
Shan Ran found it amusing, stretched on the bed, and lazily spoke, her voice still hoarse from just waking up, "Guess."
