Journey to the Rose

"Yes!"

Gu Zirong tensed up all over.

The rain was pouring down, and the water flowed into a stream on his camouflage combat uniform, and it was about to soak the underwear.

After receiving Ruan Xi's emotional answer, Gu Zirong suddenly felt that Ruan Xi who was standing in the heavy rain looking back looked so embarrassed.

Is this the Ruan Xi that everyone is talking about?

After a stalemate for a while, Gu Zirong heard Ruan Xi raise his voice, and asked himself: "Did you know who I am from the beginning, that I am your young master's spouse?"

"Yes!"

"Li Shen, Wen Kai, you know it too?"

"Yes!"

"Everyone knows, but I don't?"

Gu Zirong didn't dare to answer "yes" again, but stood upright in the rain.He didn't relax until Ruan Xi was far away, and quickly followed up with his legs. The rain also splashed and rippled from the bottom of his feet, splashing water all over the ground.

The rain fell profusely, and they rushed back to the camping place in the city of fire before dawn.

Not long after returning to the camping place, the sky was slightly bright.The lights in the windows of the cars gathered in the open space also turned on, and it seemed that everyone planned to leave before dawn.

Because the brighter the sky, the hotter the sun, and the higher the temperature, it may have a combustion-supporting effect on wildfires.

Wen Kai was the first to get up, got out of the car after changing his clothes, lay down on the ground, put his ears on the ground, and listened carefully to see if there was anything wrong with the ground.

Li Shen held an umbrella for him behind him, saying that taking advantage of the heavy rain now, he could cross the border under the cover of rain.

But overnight, Wen Kai felt the humidity in the air increased.Looking up again, the fire on the border has indeed become smaller.

"How do I feel, this wind has a chill..." Li Shen said quietly, and walked a few steps with arms folded, feeling something was wrong, "Where is the flood coming?"

"However, according to the notice from our alliance's rear detection department, there has been no major ground fission in the past few days, and the seawater will not flow back," Wen Kai said, "and I don't think it smells like seawater."

That's right, it doesn't taste fishy or salty.

Continuing to pace back and forth, Li Shen closed his eyes, and felt a cold breath in the air besides the rain, "Could it be because it rained too much last night, and there was temporary water accumulation?"

"No, it hasn't been raining for long," Wen Kai pondered, then raised his head and glared at him, "Can you stop dangling in front of me?"

"Am I blocking your eyes?"

"hinder."

"There's no need for love, you're not an omega, we won't have a good result," Li Shen bumped Wen Kai with his shoulder, and in exchange for Laimen's kick in the crotch, luckily he dodged in time, yelling as he dodged : "Don't waste your time!"

Wen Kai jumped up angrily: "I don't know who is wasting time!"

"It's not rain, it's like ice." It was the young master's voice.

Wen Kai and Li Shen immediately stood in place, closed their eyes and took a deep breath, thinking that what Lu Zhenghe said was not unreasonable.

They were quiet, and were about to receive the next analysis from the young master's wisdom and martial arts, but they saw that the young master was indifferent and had no intention of continuing.

Instead, Lu Zhenghe turned sideways, and raised his hand to greet Gu Zirong, who was stunned aside, "Ruan Xi is wet. Gu Zirong, get him an umbrella."

Wen Kai: "..."

As the saying goes, the love between children really affects major events.

·

Half an hour ago, Ruan Xi was almost found not returning all night.

Not long after he ran back to the car in the rain, Lu Zhenghe woke up.He didn't lie down in the back row to huddle with Ruan Xi, but sat and dozed in the driver's seat with his arms folded.

At that time, the sky hadn't completely lit up, and the lights in the car hadn't been turned on, it was pitch black, so Lu Zhenghe naturally didn't see Ruan Xi's drenched clothes.

Before Lu Zhenghe woke up, Ruan Xi was still holding the seat, trying to stretch his neck to see Lu Zhenghe's eyes closed, the more he looked at it, the more angry he was, and he wanted to raise his hand to give him two punches.

At this moment, Gu Zirong hurried over with an umbrella.

When taking the umbrella, Ruan Xi and Gu Zirong looked at each other, and the confrontation was silent.

Gu Zirong quickly looked away, not knowing where to put it.While there was no one around, Ruan Xi was about to say something, when not far away, Song Shumian came jogging three steps at a time, holding an umbrella.

"Ruan Xi!"

Song Shumian stood outside the car and yelled softly, with a guilty look on his face, "I ran here while they weren't paying attention, otherwise I would be scolded again, saying that I was not in good health and came out to catch the cold..."

"It's because of the heat." Having said that, Ruan Xi suddenly discovered that the temperature in Huocheng had dropped due to the rain.

After Ruan Xi changed his clothes and got out of the car holding an umbrella, Song Shumian saw his haggard face in the early morning light, and said distressedly, "Did you not have a good rest last night?"

"It's okay." Ruan Xi hasn't looked in the mirror yet.

But after all, I stayed up all night, and I can imagine how heavy the dark circles are.

Song Shumian exclaimed: "Lu Zhenghe is too, too powerful..."

Ruan Xi froze for a moment, denying his assumption: "We have no substantive relationship."

"That's right, it doesn't look like it's been marked." Song Shumian moved the tip of his nose, sniffing carefully, and he really didn't feel the breath of omega being marked by alpha on Ruan Xi.Still the familiar aroma of wine, very faint.

"Don't smell it, we didn't have sex."

"Then... car/shock?"

The ears that caught this whisper turned red strangely.

"Song Shumian..." Ruan Xi closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "What are you thinking about!"

"Because," Song Shumian's eyes widened in shock from Ruan Xi's fierceness, "because the relationship between the two of you was so good, and the relationship is also very good now. It's inevitable that you can't control it..."

"I told you, he doesn't remember me." When it came to Lu Zhenghe's memory loss, Ruan Xi felt as if his soul was passing through a tragic script, no matter how tragic it looked.

"Really? I thought you were joking!"

"No kidding."

"How could he forget you? It's so unfeeling!" If it wasn't for the damage to his body, Song Shumian would definitely be jumping up and down.

"That's right."

Because of this matter, Ruan Xi had no energy to argue, "Maybe he was fed some love-forgetful water."

"Then there must be an antidote." Song Shumian said to himself, "Should we find a way to restore his memory?"

Pull it down.

Ruan Xi remained expressionless, resisting the urge to twitch the corners of her mouth.

Thought it was writing a novel?Restore if you want to recover, forget if you want to forget.

"No need," Ruan Xi shook her head, swallowing the last bit of hope, unwilling to worry about it, "That's it. It's good to get to know each other again."

Song Shumian really wanted to chat with Ruan Xi, so he moved closer to him and said softly, "Brother Ruan Xi, do you miss home?"

"I don't know how to say it," Ruan Xi replied, "I don't want to think about it, but I miss the city more. After all, I grew up there. When I was on the road, I really wanted to go back, and I felt that I couldn't leave my life behind. In the city, I later found that going back is useless, so I should think more about how to survive."

Song Shumian couldn't help but said: "Your father is so strict with you, he doesn't treat you very well, he demands too much, and your aunt passed away early, do you still want to go back?"

"..." Ruan Xi was suddenly poked into something.

"Forget it, don't I know you yet? You just lack love." Song Shumian commented.

Ruan Xi lowered her head, she didn't feel that what Song Shumian said offended her, but fell into deep thought.Song Shumian is right, he is a very loveless person, his family is very strict with him, he is too depressed, so he doesn't like to be obedient, so he thinks about how to resist.But the more I resisted, the more I longed for the warmth of that family, and wanted to get warmth from others.

Song Shumian continued: "I think...you need a home."

"Maybe." Ruan Xi nodded, acquiescing to his thoughts.

The rain was still falling, and the big raindrops hit the roof of the car.

Ruan Xi looked through the glass at the puddles of water outside, one foot wearing military boots stepped on the ground, the water bloomed around like fireworks, and then the other foot also stepped on it.

Along the ankles, looking up, he saw the opponent's straight back, powerful arms, and shoulders wide enough to carry an entire army.

Lu Zhenghe was facing him sideways.

The brim of his hat was pulled down, his lips were tightly pressed, and he seemed to be listening attentively to his subordinates' reports.Judging from the respectful attitude of his subordinates, there is no doubt that Lu Zhenghe is a qualified leader.

The book says that people who are destined will meet again one day, no matter where they went when they separated.

This may be their situation in front of them.

Four years later, they all seem to have become better, and there is no need for me to be stuck in memories anymore.

Now that there is a new identity and story, why not start over?

If it were the same situation four years ago, Ruan Xi would definitely run before the heavy rain, and run on the endless rocky ground of the city of fire.When he waited for the stars to fall, he would stand by the window of the off-road vehicle, wait for Lu Zhenghe to wake up, and then directly ask him why he wanted to hide it.

Maybe cry, want to move his fist, slap Lu Zhenghe doubting his recognition, and tell him all the grievances and unhappiness he has suffered in the past four years.Lu Zhenghe may not answer or say anything, but clumsily hugs and coaxes him, like a 17-year-old on the roof after high school evening self-study, with stars and moons on his head and a lover in his arms.

But Ruan Xi is different now.

He becomes more afraid of losing.

Now, death was their common enemy, not each other.

But Ruan Xi still couldn't figure it out, why didn't Lu Zhenghe tell him that he was his fiancé?

Apart from dislike and fear of getting involved, Ruan Xi couldn't think of any other reasons.

Moreover, along the way, Lu Zhenghe mentioned several times that he would take him to dissolve the engagement, and now Ruan Xi couldn't figure out whether Lu Zhenghe still wanted to marry him.

But Lu Zhenghe treats him so well, is it Alpha's instinctive reaction to Omega?

Let him go for now.

Ruan Xi also couldn't figure it out, what exactly does he want now?

"I'm going to get in the car over there," Song Shumian received Gu Zirong's call, stood on tiptoe, and waved to the pickup truck over there, "Come right here!"

Ruan Xi nodded: "Go."

"If you have anything to tell me," Song Shumian said very sincerely, "I will do my best to help you."

"Because I'm from Ablaze City?" Ruan Xi raised her eyes.

"Not only..." Before leaving, Song Shumian heard him ask this, his round eyes were wet, and then bent into a bridge, "It's also because you are Ruan Xi."

that's enough.

Ruan Xi opened the door and let herself stand in the wind.He opened the umbrella and watched Song Shumian trotting towards another car.

·

They stayed for a while after the rising sun had fully climbed into the sky, and began to set off to reach the border line where wildfires were still burning.

After driving for a while, Ruan Xi finally realized how many steps she took last night.

On the way, Ruan Xi noticed that there were more and more accumulated water on the ground. They didn't even look like the leftovers of the heavy rain. There were no puddles or spot-like traces. Instead, they looked like a river flowing from a distance, making the water rush The rocks that flew down the fire city with a clatter, some evaporated, and some continued to flow into the distance.

Where does the water come from?Is there a river here?

Vehicles drive to the border.

Compared to yesterday, the fire is weakening.

Ruan Xi thought of Wei Hong who met here yesterday, the moon and fire made him an illusion.

The vegetation that was burnt to scorched earth was black, small, curled up in the soil.Most of the leaves that have not been burned are withered, and when the wind blows, the whole forest makes a crisp sound.

"Let me take a look at the telescope." Ruan Xi spread his hands, and Lu Zhenghe handed the telescope into his hands.

Putting on the binoculars, Ruan Xi saw the scene beyond the border.

The mountain fires on the border line are burning outside, large swaths of glaciers are melting, and the rivers carrying the glaciers are also carrying crushed ice, and those icy waters are contending with the mountain fires in the city of fire, and countless broken whites are shaking gently.

The land of Huocheng seems to be backlashed, and the mountain fire cannot burn through, so the consumable combustible materials can only be consumed on the spot.

Some lands have already left the territory of the Fire City, quietly flowing up the glacier.

"I saw ice under some soil layers..." Ruan Xi couldn't help but marvel at this strange phenomenon that violated the laws of nature. "Could it be that the vegetation on the border of Huocheng grows on the ice floes?"

After listening, Lu Zhenghe nodded, "Well, the entire border is actually floating ice."

"Then we are now..." Ruan Xi said, feeling some huge, tearing sounds coming from her ears, as if a giant boiled egg had been peeled off its hard shell, "Is it on the ice floe now?"

"Yes. Now we are separated." Lu Zhenghe said calmly, "Now we just need to pray that we will not fall."

what?

Immediately putting down the binoculars, Ruan Xi hurriedly let go of the steering wheel held by the other hand, adjusted the seat back a little, pushed the window open, and looked down at the car tires.

Because of the water, the car tires are now full of rain, and the ground has been separated from the original land, and there are even a lot of fresh grass mud hanging on the edge...

But Lu Zhenghe said that there is ice underneath?

Meaning, now they're on a buggy, and the buggy is on a big, thick ice floe.

Won't this fall!

"Are we moving?"

Ruan Xi thought of those water currents, and looked into the distance, on the other side of the border was a not-so-high glacier, where the stars turned into snowflakes and landed unsteadily.

The surface of the water is gently transporting them, and the unreality of the soles of their feet is very obvious.

This is a rare spectacle, but Lu Zhenghe didn't seem to be very interested, "Yeah."

"what happened to you?"

The two of them didn't need to drive anymore, Ruan Xi relaxed enough, grabbed a thick cotton coat from the back seat and put it on Lu Zhenghe's shoulders.A light aroma of wine diffused in the air.

Lu Zhenghe just asked: "Who is it?"

What is who?

Ruan Xi hit three consecutive question marks on his forehead: "What?"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhenghe seemed to be discerning the abnormal information conveyed in the air.After a pause, he frowned tightly, his eyes darker than ever before.

"You smell strange. Who approached you?" he asked.

Well, I didn't know how to tell you.

Now you have it delivered to your door.

Ruan Xi clenched her fists, accumulating strength in silence.

Glacier 36 "We got married."
