My beloved, no matter what he becomes, his perseverance, boldness, and wisdom are the charms that override his looks
…
No one expected that something was hidden in the tree, especially since the banyan tree in front of them was so incredibly large. In the spirit of humaneness and environmental protection, the Marine Police couldn’t just cut open the tree right away.
The Deputy Captain had no choice but to contact the police station urgently and use the Star Shuttle to deliver suitable process equipment.
The rest of the matter had nothing to do with Lu Liran. Lu Liran greeted the Deputy Captain and left the place.
The question Lu Liran was thinking about at the moment was whether to continue sleeping in the hammock at night or build a decent shelter.
There was nothing wrong with sleeping in a hammock, but Lu Liran’s only worry was that the fishing nets and ropes used in the hammocks will not be able to support the weight of two nights.
Although building a shelter takes a little more time and effort, at least they can sleep comfortably.
Lu Liran glanced at the sky, it was still too late to go back and build a shelter, he could simply eat some oysters and coconut meat at night. He would then boil some sea salt to prepare for emergencies.
With this in mind, Lu Liran briefly talked to Ke Ji and asked: “What do you think?”
“Well, the two-person shelter we built last time still has usable materials. It should be dried after a day of exposure to the sun, and it will be easy to rebuild again.” Ke Ji said.
Lu Liran coughed dryly, two-person shelter? He originally planned to build two separate small sheds.
Ke Ji tilted his head, his eyes showing a little doubt: “Is there any problem?”
“No problem.” Lu Liran said immediately.
Sharing a shelter with His Excellency the Commander? Exciting.
The matter of picking up the illegal goods was left to the Marine Police. Lu Liran and Ke Ji returned to the beach and simply picked up the ruins of the previously collapsed shelter.
He picked up the ones that could still be used and put them aside. Lu Liran dismantled the hammock again. The two awning gables were large enough, and they were completely ready-made roofs, and they were extremely strong.
But as the height of the roof was not enough, Lu Liran built another simple pedestal underneath to raise the two crosses. In this way, without much effort at all, version 2.0 of the double shelter was released.
“It’s more spacious than before.” Lu Liran was very satisfied.
He quickly turned around and piled balls of pine needles back, spread them flat on the ground, and covered the top layer with a layer of coconut leaves, which was their simple bed tonight.
Ke Ji lit a fire near the small shed. After hearing what Lu Liran said, he turned to look at the newly built double shelter, and sighed with a little disappointment in his heart.
He thought the sloping shed last time was good. There was just enough space for two adults to curl up, and there was no lack of physical contact.

Lu Liran nodded, picked a medium-sized stone to use as a pestle, and pounded it into the coconut shell. The purple-red flower liquid was filled in the coconut shell, with only a shallow bottom.
“These should be enough.” Lu Liran exhaled, then took a piece of fishing net and went straight to the reef stand.
Nightmare grass is a relatively common coastal plant from the pea family. Of the three hundred and sixty-five days, it only blooms in thirty days, and only during those days when the flowers are in full blooms do the flowers of nightmare grass contain a toxin called rotenone.
All Lu Liran had to do was to crush the petals to squeeze out the flower liquid, dip it in the small puddle on the reef, and then wait for the small fish to swim in with their bellies turned and throw themselves into the trap.
This toxin only works on aquatic animals, is safe for humans and animals, and does not pollute the environment. However, because the flowering period is too short, it is not suitable for use as a large-scale economical pesticide and can only be used for some biochemical research.
Lu Liran found a suitable shallow puddle, like a U-shaped water tank surrounded by rocks.
He spread the fishing net in the puddle, picked up a few stones and placed it on top to prevent it from being carried away by the current, then he sprinkled the crushed purple-red flower liquid into the water, shaking the coconut shells clean.
When he comes back after a while, he’ll probably see some small fish caught in the net.
After returning to the beach, Lu Liran saw that Ke Ji had already started boiling salt.
When Ke Ji saw Lu Liran coming back, he looked up and said: “Come and see, should the fire be reduced a little more?”
After he finished speaking, he noticed the purple-red flower liquid splashed on Lu Liran’s chin. He couldn’t help but curved his mouth, then pointed to the same position on his chin and reminded with a smile: “This place is dirty.”
Lu Liran heard his words and wiped his chin with the back of his hand, and saw a small bright red-purple mark being wiped away.
He just thought of how wonderful his face must have looked at this moment.
Lu Liran pursed his lips, his expression stiff.
Naturally, he wanted to leave a favorable surface image in front of the commander, otherwise he wouldn’t have suddenly gotten interested in the restoration progress.
But now he has a face with ferocious scars, an appearance that could scare a child to tears, and a funny colorful flower liquid. Also, his wheat colored skin was rough and flaky after being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time. Lu Liran was a little suffocated just imagining his appearance at this moment.
Perhaps there’s also the unpleasant smell of sweat, mixed with the smell of blood, sea and garbage.
Lu Liran was used to going out like this, but now, as if he had been awakened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He subconsciously took a big step back and distanced himself from Ke Ji to prevent the man opposite from smelling his scent.
Ke Ji originally saw Lu Liran’s face suddenly stiffened, and thought something was wrong. But then he saw Lu Liran take a big step back, and he frowned slightly: “What’s wrong?”
Lu Liran put away his depressed mood, then he looked away, he pursed his lips and whispered: “It’s nothing.”
He glanced across the shed, then clenched his fits uncomfortably, and asked Ke Ji in a low voice: “I think we should spend the night separately. This is not appropriate.”
“Why?” Ke Ji frowned. He knew that Lu Liran’s sudden awkwardness started when he pointed out the drop of flower liquid, but he didn’t understand why.
Lu Liran subconsciously twitched the tip of his nose twice and sniffed the smell in the air—— In fact, he didn’t smell anything, but he believed that if he lowered his head and smelled himself, it would be very sobering—— He said: “Two big men squeezing into such a small space…the smell is a bit strong.”
Ke Ji was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily: “Do you think you think I’m…smelly?”
His expression was slightly distorted, but then he thought of something and couldn’t help but lower his head and smell himself. He didn’t smell good at all.
Ke Ji’s face changed a few times. Of course he wanted to leave a perfect image in front of his Omega, but he forgot that in a place like this, personal image would be a big problem.
Speaking of the prevour war, when they were on the front line and the situation became stalemate, there were also cases when he didn’t take a shower for several days and nights, just scrubbing with clean water. It was just that he was surrounded by a group of the same rough soldiers, and no one thought about the details in this regard.
Ke Ji was secretly annoyed. If he had known earlier, he should have brought some deodorant spray with him before setting off.
What should he do if his Omega dislikes his body odor?
“…I don’t think you smell bad.” Lu Liran didn’t expect Ke Ji’s brain circuit to turn directly to him. He explained dryly, opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, “It’s just…well…”
Ke Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, then stepped over the low fire where the salt was boiling, and approached Lu Liran.
He took a step forward, and Lu Liran subconsciously stepped back. Carrying his personal image is such a heavy burden.
Ke Ji suddenly reacted. Combined with Lu Liran’s series of expression changes just now, he suddenly guessed what the other party was struggling with.
Just as he wants to leave the best impression on Lu Liran, maybe Lu Liran also cares about his own image?
However, he seemed like a careless bastard not thinking that such small details of flower liquid would cause such a series of chain reactions.
Because Lu Liran never showed any concern about his face in front of him before, he thought that Lu Liran had turned the page calmly, so he never treated this matter with an extra or special attitude.
He figured it was a sign of respect for a soldier, and that pity and caution were insults and superficialities to this meaning.
But now Ke Ji realizes that Lu Liran didn’t care before, maybe just because he was just an insignificant passerby before, at most a friend who traveled together, but now Lu Liran cares because he is Ke Ji.
He suddenly thought about the past training and formation. Every time he reviewed, he could always see that the other party was the most energetic one, with beautiful but persevering eyes that were astonishingly bright.
Bronte would joke from time to time: “Look at the Lu family’s youngest son, he wasn’t that energetic when I passed by just now.”
Ke Ji’s heart ached and swelled, as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.
But at the same time, he was grateful that at least he discovered this problem early, instead of hiding it until it finally saved up as a big snowball of a conflict.
He suddenly said: “Do you still remember when I talked to you about the person I liked when I was in Arlok?”
Lu Liran was stunned for a moment, but he soon remembered that although he didn’t know Ke Ji’s true identity at that time, he was sure that he was jealous of the person Ke Ji secretly liked.
Lu Liran pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn’t understand why Ke Ji would bring up this topic at this time.
Ke Ji stared into his eyes and did not miss the embarrassment on the other side that flashed over and was quickly covered up.
His eyes were sore and achy, he clenched his fists hard to suppress the trembling in his voice, then took a deep breath and continued:
“As I said, I originally thought he was a little guy who was spoiled by a wealthy family and wanted to join in on a whim. His family even warned…told me to take good care of him.”
“But I didn’t expect that he would be more perseverant than anyone else. He would unswervingly move closer to his goal and surprise me again and again.”
“When I didn’t realize it, the gaze and time I spent on him took up almost all of my free time.”
“I sneaked away to watch his troop review, his assessment and training, and pretended to meet him by chance when he and his teammates went to the cafeteria to eat. I asked Bronte to add an extra line to my mecha to connect to his combat channel…”
“When he didn’t know it, he was in every corner of my life.”
Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran, his eyes were deep and gentle, and the indescribable sadness melted into the deep sea-like steel blue eyes.
“But like I said, I always thought there would be a more appropriate time and place to pierce this layer of paper and tell him, but the reality is that I missed it, and almost missed it forever.”
“I’m glad I still have a chance to make amends, but I ignored his changes. I thought he would never bow his head because of his pride, but I forgot that war and injury had changed both me and him. I was worried about gain and loss, fearing that the next second he would disappear where I could catch him, and he would be like a wounded animal, jumping away because of my carelessness.”
“But what I want to tell him is that in my eyes, no matter what becomes of my beloved, his eyes are brighter than stars. His perseverance, courage and wisdom are the charm that surpasses his appearance.”
“I wanted to kiss him, hug him, feel his body heat.”
“Repeat this the same words in his ear every night before he goes to sleep.”
“I like you.”
Sunnyshies: Ahhhh~! Confession!!
Ke Ji does not need to worry about his smell, if I’m not mistaken, Ke Ji’s alpha pheromones have the scent of “war”– exactly the smell of gunpowder and blood, haha the worst type of pheromone! But really, I didn’t expect Ke Ji to be that kind of Ke Ji….Lu Liran is just a little mermaid who went to the army to see his beloved, but Ke Ji…stalker!!
