(There was a mistake in the previous chapter. Scared me to death. I thought there was a chapter missing. I can't change the title of the chapter, so I'll just make do with it.)
After contacting Sherry Dew and asking for her location, Xiao Ran found out that the entire S.M.S. team was celebrating at a restaurant called Empress. This was to make up for Arte and Brera joining S.M.S. for a meal. Xiao Ran was no stranger to Empress's shop. During the time they were on the main island of the 25th Fleet, Xiao Ran's breakfast was delivered by Empress's shop every day. Furthermore, it was also the place where Lan Hua used to work.
After finding a car to send him there, Xiao Ran saw the S.M.S. members laughing and cursing as soon as he entered the restaurant. Xiao Ran's intrusion attracted many people's attention. When they saw the bandage on his head, they were stunned. Sherry Dew and Orchid were sitting together. The two were talking about something that made Orchid blush. When she saw the bandage on Xiao Ran's head, she quickly stood up and ran to Xiao Ran. She looked at Xiao Ran strangely.
Sherry Dew looked at Xiao Ran with a pained expression. Then, she frowned and asked, "What happened to you? How did the famous Commander become like this?"
In fact, she was concerned about Xiao Ran. However, when it came from Sherry Dew's mouth, it felt wrong. Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and poked Sherry Dew's forehead. "Don't tell me I won't get hurt."
"Does it hurt?" Sherry Dew gently held Xiao Ran's face with both hands. Her expression softened. "Then why didn't you be more careful?"
"There was an accident." Xiao Ran smiled and held Sherry Dew's hand. He looked at Ozma and the others and waved at them. "Everyone is in a good mood."
Ozma shrugged. "Today is a day worth celebrating. If there's anything sad, we can talk about it after today."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
The rest of the S.M.S. members stood up and saluted Xiao Ran. "General."
Xiao Ran returned the greeting and waved his hand gently. "I'm just an ordinary person now, not a general. We've known each other for so long, yet you still need me to be so polite. Do what you should do today, don't let my presence affect your mood."
Xiao Ran's words made everyone laugh. These people from S.M.S. were not restrained people to begin with. Since Xiao Ran had said so, they really did not treat Xiao Ran as a general anymore. One by one, they ran over to drink with Xiao Ran while giggling. Xiao Ran did not refuse anyone. Sherry Dew would glance at him from time to time to remind him that he was still injured.
After drinking round after round, the smile on Sherry Dew's face finally disappeared. No matter who came to toast, she would stare at the other party fiercely. She directly killed the people who came to toast with her with her gaze. Only then did she show a satisfied smile. She became amiable and put food in Xiao Ran's bowl. The people around them were embarrassed.
This party was to make everyone happy. It lasted until night. Except for the people who did not drink, most of the S.M.S. members were drunk. Even Xiao Ran felt a little dizzy under the influence of alcohol. In the end, Billy and Moses helped him back home. Sherry Dew also followed. When she saw Xiao Ran leaning on the sofa and enjoying the hot tea Moses made, she glared at Xiao Ran angrily.
She crossed her arms and sat down beside Xiao Ran. Sherry Dew snorted. "You don't care about your body at all. You might as well drink yourself to death."
After drinking a mouthful of hot tea, Xiao Ran put down the cup. He took a towel from Billy and wiped his face. Then, he smiled at Sherry Dew and said, "Don't worry, I know. The wound on my head will heal in a few days. Drinking this little bit of alcohol won't affect me."
Xiao Ran gently exhaled. He shook his head and asked, "Didn't you want to tell me something?"
"I don't want to say it now." Sherry Dew turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran secretly. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Ran rubbed his head. Looking at Sherry Dew who no longer looked sickly and was instead full of energy, he laughed. "Did you recover?"
"Hmph, you're right." Sherry Dew turned around and touched her stomach. "I didn't expect Orchid to have this kind of ability. I can feel that my connection with the insects is getting deeper and deeper."
"You and Orchid will be the pioneers of the human race's expansion. With the two of you as role models, I believe that more and more people will be like you. "
Xiao Ran said with a smile. Then, he suddenly froze. He looked at Sherry Dew and asked, "Can you or Orchid enter that state of resonance by yourself?"
Sherry Dew looked at Xiao Ran. She seemed to be wondering why Xiao Ran suddenly asked this question. But she still thought about it seriously. She shook her head and said, "I don't think I can, but Orchid has a deeper connection with the insects. When I entered that state, I also felt that it was because of Orchid's song. "
"I got it." Xiao Ran nodded. He stood up and patted Sherry Dew's shoulder. "You've been tired all day. Rest early today. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow morning."
"Who wants to rest with you?" Sherry Dew crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Xiao Ran with her eyes wide open. She looked like a weak and pitiful girl, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Xiao Ran saw Sherry Dew's expression and couldn't help but touch his nose. "Err …"
"But …" Sherry Dew's tone changed. She looked at Xiao Ran teasingly. "Of course, if you want, I can reluctantly accept it."
Not far away, Billy and Moses pretended to be busy with something. However, when they heard Sherry Dew's words, Moses's body tilted and he almost fell to the ground. Billy, on the other hand, bumped into the table. Xiao Ran's expression was one of disbelief. Sherry Dew looked at the three of them and laughed. She gave Xiao Ran a flirtatious look. Then, she stood up and walked to a room. That room was where Xiao Ran lived.
As the three of them stared blankly at her, Sherry Dew turned around and smiled at Xiao Ran. "I'm just joking with you."
Xiao Ran looked at the closed door and couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples. He looked at Moses and Billy and smiled bitterly. "My room is occupied. Where am I going to sleep today?"
"Why don't you sleep in my room, sir?" Billy stood up and said to Xiao Ran. "I haven't had a good rest in a long time. I'll go home and see my family."
"Alright." Xiao Ran nodded and looked at Moses. The latter quickly said, "I'll go home too."
"Okay."
Not long after, Billy and Moses left the room. Xiao Ran sat on the sofa and drank tea. He closed his eyes and fell into a half-awake state. When he opened his eyes again, he wanted to pour himself a cup of tea. However, he didn't know when the tea in the teapot was finished. Just as he was about to stand up and take the teapot to make another cup of tea, a pair of soft hands reached out from the side and pressed on his hand.
Xiao Ran turned around and was surprised to see Sherry Dew smiling at him. "When did you come out? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Not long. I just wanted to see if you had a good rest." Sherry Dew smiled and shook her head. She took the teapot and stood up. "I'll help you."
In fact, Xiao Ran had been half-awake for more than an hour with his eyes closed. Sherry Dew also sat beside Xiao Ran for almost an hour, watching Xiao Ran do nothing. If Sherry Dew's imagination didn't cause her to laugh and blush.
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded. He looked at Sherry Dew, who took the teapot and mixed the water again. He couldn't help but smile. If it were Moses, he would definitely pour out everything in the teapot, wash it, and make a new pot. He wouldn't be like Sherry Dew, adding some cold water because she felt that it was too hot.
When Sherry Dew returned to Xiao Ran's side, she saw the smile on Xiao Ran's face and seemed to understand what she had done. She put the teapot on the coffee table and snorted. "Hmph. You let this Milky Way Singer add water and pour tea for you like a good woman. You have to cherish it."
Xiao Ran directly grabbed Sherry Dew's hand and pulled her into his arms. He tickled Sherry Dew's nose with his finger. "Yes, yes, yes, my good woman."
Sherry Dew smiled slightly. She leaned close to Xiao Ran's ear and whispered, "What I said just now was not a joke."
"Not a joke?" Xiao Ran suddenly remembered what Sherry Dew had said before. For a moment, he only felt his blood rushing to his head. Even his breathing was slightly hurried. But looking at the girl in his arms, he took a deep breath. When he smelled the fragrance of her body, he had to control his emotions. He just hugged Sherry Dew tightly and didn't speak for a long time.
Sherry Dew broke free from Xiao Ran's arms angrily and looked at Xiao Ran with dissatisfaction. "What's wrong? Are you still not willing?"
"It's not that I'm not willing. It's just that I don't want to hurt you before I'm sure of some things." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. He held Sherry Dew's hands and said softly, "After all, I have to leave here. If I really do something to you and then leave, what will you do?"
Sherry Dew was stunned when she heard Xiao Ran's words. At this time, she remembered that Xiao Ran was not a member of the 25th Fleet. He came from Earth. Of course, he could not stay in the 25th Fleet forever. (To be continued.)
