The Little Rose and His Human Colonel

Su Ran is a little rose raised by the human military.
In his memory, when he was just a small green sprout, he was picked up and taken care of by the human Colonel Si Chengyan.
Every day, Su Ran obediently lay on the windowsill, eagerly looking outside, waiting for the Colonel to come home. Then, he would happily pounce over, snuggle into his arms, and listen to stories about the human world.
Until one day, during a mission, Su Ran got separated from his Colonel.
Following his memories, he walked for a long time, through swamps and abysses, across wilderness and cliffs, just to find the human officer who watered him every day, hoping he would grow quickly.
Finally, in a vine-covered cave, he saw those familiar handsome brows and eyes.
So he stumbled over, naively raised his hand, and touched the wounds on the other’s body that were bitten by monsters, just like how the other comforted him when he was scared of thunder.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
“Shall we go home?”

Si Chengyan rescued a little rose with special abilities from the abyss.
In an era plagued by the infection of inanimate objects, this little rose was his everything.
When the human base fell and orders were given to eliminate all mutated creatures, to protect him, he quietly placed Su Ran in the wild.
As the representative of humanity’s strongest combat power, even when the apocalypse came and abilities awakened, he was never afraid.
Until.
That beautiful young man appeared before him, softly comforting him, while a giant creature appeared behind, wanting to devour the rose. Only then did Si Chengyan realize that fear could instantly drown all reason.

One day later.
On the tower of the human base, they leaned against each other—behind them was the long wind of the wilderness, in front of them was the starry sea, just like countless nights before.
After finishing the day’s watering, Su Ran, all wet, pounced into the Colonel’s arms, curling his leaves against the other’s chest, whining and pestering him to tell a bedtime story.
Si Chengyan’s breath hitched for a moment, grabbing the restless little leaf poking his waistline: “…Don’t move around.”
Su Ran pouted, “I just want to hug you.”
Si Chengyan: “Are you sure you want to continue?”
“Yeah!” Su Ran looked at the rumored cold and stern strongest Colonel, unknowingly seductive, hugged his neck, and gave him a peck, “I like Colonel Si the most!”
