White Olive Tree

Chapter 56

Li Zan's cold and unceremonious voice came: "Is there any problem"
The reporter glanced at his military uniform and recognized that he was the most difficult to mess with. He also had at least three guns on his body at this moment, so he immediately shut up.
Li Zan placed two bottles of ice water on the table, took another step forward, and asked his companions: "What about you? Do you still have any questions?"
No one said a word, shaking their heads silently.
Li Zan said: "A man is capable and down-to-earth and does his job well; what kind of gentleman is he who bullies a lady?"
Several people were blushing, but they did not dare to refute.
Li Zan stopped talking and didn't face any difficulties.
He came back and sat in front of Song Ran, his face sullen and a little angry. He looked at Song Ran, then his expression became more relaxed and said, "Don't be angry."
Song Ran pursed her lips tightly and almost laughed, how could she be angry.  She looked directly at him, her eyes full of admiration and love, and her eyes were as bright as stars.
"..." Li Zan was stunned by her look, a little embarrassed.
A smile broke out from the corner of her mouth, and she touched his hand: "Don't be angry." She couldn't hide her excitement, "A-Zan, you just looked like a soldier."
Li Zan: "..."
Is this a good word?
At this time, the bearded restaurant owner came over with another plate of barbecue and Coke, and asked Song Ran: "Candy?"
Song Ran was stunned and nodded.
The boss put down the tray, pointed to the food on the table, crossed his hands and waved, proudly making the NO gesture: "ALL Free!"
His English was not very good, so he turned around and pointed at the reporter at the table: "Out!"
The reporter immediately argued, but the boss didn't listen at all and waved them away impatiently. Other Dongguo customers in the store looked over one after another with unkind eyes; a few stood up and planned to come over.
The group of people cursed and spoke their own language and left the store.
The boss arranged the chairs and turned to Song Ran and Li Zan with a smile.
"..." Li Zan pursed his lips and nodded at him.
Song Ran grinned flattered.
She whispered: "Are we really not going to pay?"
Li Zan whispered: "You can leave it secretly under the plate."
   "You are really smart."
"..." Li Zan said, "How many reporters do you know?"
"I've seen him in Ale before. He's very talkative but very timid. Don't worry." She knew he was feeling uncomfortable and said, "I'm fine. Didn't you see how powerful I was just now?"
He smiled: "Yes." But he still didn't want to see it, always feeling that she was being bullied.
Song Ran: "So don't quarrel with me in the future, otherwise you will definitely lose."
He looked at her with penetrating eyes: "I won't quarrel with you."
"That's good." She said to herself again, "But if we really quarrel, I will definitely not be able to win against you."
   "Why?"
   "because……"
I like you so much.  She blushed: "If you say harsh words, I will definitely..."
I’m so sad that I can’t say a word, so why should I argue.
Li Zan thought about it and asked, "When did I talk to you and you felt it was too heavy?"
"Not yet. I'll tell you later."
"Then I won't say harsh words to you in the future."
She smiled: "Okay."

Just after I finished speaking, I remembered that when we broke up, we didn’t argue or say too many words, just like that...
She pushed the thought away from her mind.
After dinner, she returned to her residence. Li Zan was really tired this time. As soon as she entered the room, she fell on the bed and couldn't get up.
Song Ran took off his military uniform and asked, "Is it okay if you sleep here with me?"
"It's okay. There will be no missions for the next few days." He took off the sleeves of his military uniform, rolled in sideways, and said vaguely, "One mission can last for a few days. You have to fight every day, and you won't be useless."
Song Ran was taking off his pants, and with a strong pull, he rolled on his side on the bed, his face buried in the pillow, and the next few words were indistinct.
But he was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to turn his head, and his nose was just pressed into the pillow.
Song Ran helped him turn his body sideways. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply and slowly.
There is not enough water here to take a bath.  She brought a basin of water, twisted a towel, and wiped his face and neck. He was half awake by the cold water, opened his eyes slightly, and remembered to do it himself.
She pushed him down and said, "Lie down and don't move." She then wiped him carefully.
He curled the corners of his lips and tilted his head as if he had fallen asleep.
Song Ran wiped his body while checking the scars.  There were a few new bruises on the legs, as well as some minor skin injuries; the same was true on the arms.
She checked every one and found that they were all minor injuries and there were no particularly deep new ones. She felt relieved at least.
It’s just that there are scars from last year’s explosion on my back, and it still hurts to look at it.
She rubbed his back, and suddenly remembered the moment when she rushed to hug him when he defused the bomb.
At that moment, she was scared, panicked, and helpless; but she was determined, determined, desperate, and just wanted to be with him.  She thought she would give him strength, but unexpectedly, her heart was shocked.
At that time, she held him tightly and felt his fear and despair, his pain and regret, but she also felt his struggle, his unyieldingness, his fight, his mission, and his kindness.  The moment the world went silent, she felt endless power.  The flow continued, filling her heart.
A-Zan, you are the best person I have ever met.
​…My favorite person.
Song Ran cleaned him up and scrubbed himself, then closed the curtains and climbed onto the bed, lying on his side.
Li Zan was breathing heavily, his head tilted on the pillow, only half of his face was exposed, and his long eyelashes touched the pillow.
Song Ran stared at him quietly.
Within a few seconds, he felt her breath and fumbled her into his arms.
It was very early and the sun was setting outside.  But Song Ran followed him and closed her eyes peacefully, preparing to fall asleep.
But he suddenly moved in his sleep, as if he was thinking about something on his mind, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
"Did you have anything else you wanted to tell me just now?"
Song Ran didn’t remember.
"Ranran."
"Huh?" She was still thinking about it.
"We will never break up again."
She was startled, but before she could react, he muttered to himself, "It didn't count last time, no points."
He was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes, and breathed deeply: "It's settled. No matter what happens in the future, even if you lose your temper, quarrel, or have a cold war... Anyway, we won't break up."
She whispered: "Okay."
He buried his head into the pillow, and this time, he fell asleep peacefully.
She also closed her eyes and fell asleep in the dusk, having a peaceful night's sleep.
