Chapter 91: My Home, On Earth
The sky now was a bit darker than when they had just finished dinner.
The moon had been very large and bright for the past few days, and at this time the sky was not completely dark yet, so the dazzling moonlight was not yet obvious.
The blue star that Gray mentioned was actually not a real star.
Because at this time it had almost no light.
Its size appeared to be a bit larger than the moon, hanging in a position in the sky that seemed even lower than the moon, so low that Su Ran felt as if she could touch it just by reaching out.
This blue planet presented a shallow blue color, and within the blue, there were faint whites and almost invisible light browns intersecting.
Su Ran knew that those should be the clouds floating above that planet and the color of the land below.
And this planet, she was extremely familiar with it!
Earth!
Su Ran stared blankly at the planet above her head, only feeling in an instant that the cold wind chilled her whole body, her nose tip ached, and she was almost speechless!
Nearly two months of past memories that she had deliberately forgotten poured out from her mind and chest like deliberate revenge.
Beautiful mountains and rivers, steel fortresses, neon lights flashing, and those warm faces in her memories surged uncontrollably in her mind! An unprecedented remembrance almost overwhelmed her.
Before she could react, tears were already streaming down her face!
“Ran Ran, don’t cry!”
Tears flowed across her face, blown by the wind, feeling icy cold.
A large hand with thick calluses suddenly reached over, forcefully wiping the tears from her face, and the next second, soft lips gently landed on her face, nose tip, and lip corner.
A faint fragrance of Sweet Leaf Vein Tree Leaves came, Su Ran came back to her senses, shed another tear, and tightly hugged Gray who was squatting in front of her, forcefully burying her head into its chest.
These days, her self-proclaimed strength was completely powerless to resist
The sky had completely darkened.
A gentle breeze blew, on the river surface, water ripples swayed.
The Blue Star hangs above the sky, surrounded by a faint ring of blue light, reflected in the river water, beautiful like a scroll of poetic and lingering brush painting.
Su Ran was tightly held in Gray’s embrace, its strong arms wrapping her against its chest, its broad chest almost enveloping her entire body.
Su Ran cried for a long time, scaring it badly.
At this moment, seeing that Su Ran’s emotion had stabilized a bit, it quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps after crying it out and venting, or perhaps after recognizing reality, the feeling of sadness in Su Ran’s heart dissipated quite a bit.
At this moment, she finally had the mind to carefully observe the blue planet above her head that looked like a large blue-and-white porcelain plate.
And after she carefully observed this planet that was extremely familiar in her memory, she gradually discovered that this planet seemed not completely identical to the pictures of Blue Star she had seen before on the internet and in textbooks.
Or perhaps it’s because the pictures of overlooking the Blue Star from space that she had seen were “beautified.” The color of this Blue Star in front of her now was clearly much more subdued than those in the pictures she had seen.
It was a very faint, very faint blue, even though it was glowing, it still appeared somewhat hazy.
Moreover, there wasn’t a trace of green on it, and the land area that could be discerned didn’t look very large either.
And what puzzled Su Ran the most was that in this world where she was now, the sun, the moon, and Earth could all be seen.
So where exactly is she on which planet now?
She looked at the Blue Star that seemed as close as if it were within reach, feeling that none of the planets in the Solar System could match the planet she was now on.
So did she still travel to the different world?
A different world that similarly has a solar system, has Earth, has a moon?
Otherwise, how else to explain the existence of this blue planet where she is, and the creatures on this blue planet that are similar to yet different from those on Earth.
“Ran Ran, go back and sleep?”
Gray rubbed her cheek with his forehead, and when speaking, his gaze toward her carried worry and careful caution.
Su Ran withdrew her gaze from the Blue Star in the sky, sniffed, lay on Gray’s shoulder, and took a deep breath.
The werewolf’s hair carried a faint fragrance of green soap fruit.
This fragrance wafted gently into her nose, seemingly carrying magic, instantly making Su Ran’s gloomy mood feel a bit lighter.
Her palm touched twice on the gray, muscular, and lean shoulders, and the smooth and slippery skin sensation made those remembrance fantasies in her mind completely disappear.
Right.
Now, what she can touch is what truly exists.
Those existences from the past, she can reminisce about, but some fantasies have no meaning.
She is already here. No matter how much she thinks about that planet, in the end, she can only think about it.
Now, what is possessed before one’s eyes is the most important.
“Let’s go, we’re going back to sleep.”
Su Ran exhaled, looked up again at the huge Blue Star hanging in the sky, then stood up.
Gray stood up by her side, also following her gaze and looking up, then its gaze toward Su Ran seemed like it wanted to ask something, but after seeing Su Ran’s pair of red and swollen eyes, its tail hanging behind it swayed its tip left and right, and ultimately it didn’t speak.
Tonight’s moon is very bright.
So bright that even walking in the dense woods, one can clearly see the thin winding path ahead.
Gray was carrying a backpack filled with tools needed to bring back to the bird’s nest in one hand, and tightly holding Su Ran’s hand in the other. The guy who usually chattered nonstop on the way back was unusually silent today.
Su Ran quickly noticed the abnormality of the werewolf beside her, and could somewhat guess that the reason for this abnormality came from her.
Her eyes felt very swollen because of the big cry just now.
But at this moment, she hooked the corner of her lips again.
The fingers of the hand being led by Gray gently scratched its palm, and then when it looked over, Su Ran stopped, pulled it to turn back and look at the sky behind.
Su Ran raised her other hand, pointing to that planet which was now emitting a dreamy misty blue light, and turned her head to look at Gray: “Gray, Earth.”
When Gray saw Su Ran raise her hand pointing to that Blue Star, it immediately became visibly tense.
Only after seeing Su Ran smile and speak did it slowly relax its expression.
It followed Su Ran’s gaze and looked up at the sky. Its eyes, which were light green during daytime, under the bright moonlight, were crystal clear and shiny, as if they glowed in the dark.
“Earth…”
It imitated Su Ran’s pronunciation and muttered the word. Then it blinked, slightly furrowed its brows: “Ran Ran, why cry? Ran Ran doesn’t like… Earth?”
Its face was full of confusion and worry, yet also relieved as if finally voicing the doubt.
But Su Ran looked at it, shook her head, tightened her grip on its big hand:
“I like Earth. My home is on Earth.”
