Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"I have clearly seen the future and tried to change it, but in the end I found that no matter what I did, no matter how I expressed my suggestions to others, no matter whether others adopted them or not, it ultimately did not change the predetermined future. Miss Aponya must have experienced this deeply."

"..."

Abonya opened her thin lips slightly and looked at Jiang Ming in a daze.

"I'm sorry to talk about such a heavy topic right away. If you need some time to calm down, Jiang Ming is willing to wait." Jiang Ming showed an apologetic look and closed his eyes to enjoy his tea.

After a moment, Aponya said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"That's natural, but before that, Miss Aponya, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"Since Miss Abonya saw the predetermined future and tried to change it, but in the end it was fruitless, even so, Miss Abonya, do you still believe that fate can be changed?"

"..."

Abonya's delicate face froze slightly, but she was speechless. Seeing this, Jiang Ming showed a sad look on his face and said softly, "Excuse me."

He immediately stood up and sat to the right of Aponya, staring at her bare hands with his eyes, without any hypocrisy: "What a beautiful pair of hands, can I hold them?"

Then, without waiting for Aponya to respond, Jiang Ming held her right hand with both hands and gently placed it on his chest.

Zi closed her eyes and waited obediently, and Aponiya did not resist, but just stared blankly in obvious confusion.

"You may not be able to fully believe me yet...but at least now, I can tell you that you are not alone."

Jiang Ming made a gesture as if praying: "Although this is our first meeting, I know you quite well because I have already seen the predetermined future."

"Miss Aponya, you must be in constant remorse. If I have investigated correctly, some children have already left, and what you have told the public is a white lie."

"I can't change anything, I can't save anyone, and I always feel guilty about this. I came here because I really care about you, but before I formally invite you, please allow me to live with you for a while and show you... everything about me."

"What does this... mean?"

Unable to understand the boy's thoughts, Aponya tried to pull her hand back, but it was just a thought. She found that she couldn't seem to do it.

People need to be understood, and once they are understood, they will develop feelings for those who understand them.

It's like a child who is wronged but is trying hard to hold back his tears. When someone knows the truth and gives comfort, the child who is trying hard to hold back his tears will actually cry out loud.

Jiang Mingze opened his eyes at this time, and as if making a prophecy, he said calmly: "In five seconds, the children in the nursing home will come out of the room to thank me for the desserts they gave them."

"This is......"

Before Aponiya could finish, there was a commotion coming from the house not far from the pavilion. Then the door was opened and dozens of children walked out. The youngest was only six years old and the oldest was no more than twelve.

Seeing Aponiya and Jiang Ming sitting next to each other, they were holding the dessert cakes in their hands, as if they were going to enjoy them together.

Aponia's pupils dilated slightly, and her gaze moved from the children to Jiang Ming. She had no doubt about his ability to foresee the future, but she just didn't understand why he said it out loud. Was it to prove that he and she had the ability to foresee the future?

"Sister Aponya! Good afternoon."

The children greeted politely.

"Good afternoon." Aponya responded.

The children shifted their gaze and soon saw Jiang Ming sitting on the right side of Aponia.

Lu followed behind, looked at Jiang Ming, and said at the right time: "Sorry, they said they must come out to thank you, and said they wanted to eat with Miss Aponya."

"Oh, that's no problem."

Jiang Ming showed a gentle smile on his face. At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw from below that Jiang Ming was holding Abonya's right hand with both hands. Seeing Jiang Ming's gentle eyes, she boldly asked: "Sister Abonya."

"What's wrong, Shina?"

"Did Sister Aponya make a mistake?"

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"Because every time Gongping made a mistake, Sister Abonya would pull his hand and ask him to admit his mistake. Gongping couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried, and in the end he cried because of the pain."

"Forehead..."

It seemed that Jiang Ming didn't have the time to figure this out, so he didn't expect such a situation, and slowly let go of Abonya's right hand: "I am offended, Miss Abonya."

Aponia subconsciously clenched her right hand: "No, it's nothing... I've always listened to you."

Seeing Aponya's attitude, the children holding desserts on the side blinked their eyes: "Did they have a quarrel? Quarreling is not good."

"Why would Sister Aponya be like this?"

"Okay, Sister Abonya didn't make any mistakes, and we weren't arguing. We were just whispering just now." Jiang Ming explained with a wry smile.

"Compared to that, the cake will melt if you don't eat it."

"Well, thank you, big brother."

It seems that Midori didn't tell them his name.

Seeing the children enjoying their desserts, Jiang Ming gently bent his head to the left, half leaning on Aponya's right shoulder, and then moved slightly upward until his lips were close to her ear, and then he whispered: "Later, Gongping's dessert will fall because his right hand is too strong and his left hand is not stable, causing the plate to fall and the cake to fall to the ground."

Aponiya followed Jiang Ming's gaze and realized that he was not lying - no one would help Gong Ping and the cake would fall normally.

Just as Abonya was about to open her mouth to remind Gong Ping, Jiang Ming pressed her right hand. She turned her head and saw Jiang Ming shaking his head.

"Even if you remind him, Kyohei is a careless child, so he can't avoid the plate from falling, right? He has tried many times in the past, but no matter how much he reminds him, fate will still happen. What should we do?"

"...Even if that's the case, you can't not say it."

"Is it."

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and sat up straight again: "Even if it is just a useless move, do you still have to waste your breath? Is it to avoid regrets? Or to prove that you have done what you should do?"

Aponia: "..."

"You... wouldn't say this for no reason, would you?"

"It's natural, haha,"

Jiang Ming smiled softly: "Please don't say anything, Miss Abonya. Let's wait and see. If the dessert really falls to the ground, I will give Gong Ping another piece."

"This..." Abonya was naturally puzzled, but because of Jiang Ming's actions, she obeyed and did as he said.

Gongping did drop the plate because he ate too quickly.

But unexpectedly, the next second, something unexpected happened. The careful Xina seemed to have anticipated such a situation, so she used her own plate to catch the cake that fell from the other party.

"See, Kyohei, I knew you would be like this."

Hina handed her plate to Kyohei: "If it's wasted, Sister Aponya will be angry again."

"Yeah...sorry."

Aponia watched as her fate changed, and even her future fate became different. This was the first time in her life that this had happened.

"Look, Miss Aponya, fate is unpredictable. Fate is a fixed number, and luck is a variable. If you change the fixed number with the variable, fate will no longer seem so powerful."

Jiang Ming stood up, his back facing Abonya, but his voice was clearly heard by her: "I still have some things to deal with. I will come again in the evening. Miss Abonya, let's say goodbye this time."

Then he turned to look at Purple and Green: "It's about time for us to go back. Purple, take me to see Padufilis, and Green, just leave the things you brought here."

The two responded: "Understood."

"..."
