Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

Another year has passed.

This year, Fanmu is 13.

After leaving the training camp, because his strength has reached the requirement and for some special reasons, he is now a centurion and can go anywhere he wants every day except for daily training.

Of course, the centurion only has a status but no real power. After all, he is still too young. Of course, this is only temporary. He can officially take over when he grows up a little.

One evening.

"Sister Fu Xuan! The rice is ready!"

Fan Mu shouted loudly towards the room on the second floor.

"understood!"

Not long after, a small pink figure came running down from the second floor.

While eating a bowl of rice, Fu Xuan habitually picked up some dishes for him, and Fan Mu ate them all without refusing.

"Sister Fu Xuan, are you really going to fight?"

"You've been coming back later and later recently. The entire Cloud Cavalry Army has also started preparing for war and is still recruiting more soldiers!"

Fan Mu asked with some concern.

"Well, it's estimated that the war will start in three or four years." Fu Xuan sighed tiredly while picking up the food, "But you don't have to worry too much, I've calculated it, and the ending should be good!"

"That's it..."

Fan Mu held Changyin's hand and seemed to be thinking about something. Since Sister Fu Xuan said there was no problem, then there must be no problem. Fu Xuan would not make a mistake!

"Ok?"

While eating, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Fu Xuan and stretched out his hand.

"how..."

Before Fu Xuan could finish her words, Fan Mu's hand touched her thin lips affectionately.

Fan Mu's fingers gently stroked the edge of her lips, picked up a small grain of rice, put it to his mouth and ate it. The whole process was smooth and seamless.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Fu Xuan's eyes, he tilted his head, a little confused. He was about to ask something, but suddenly reacted.

Was he too intimate just now?

However, this thought only appeared for a moment before he rejected it. Isn't it normal for him to be close to Fu Xuan?

Well, didn’t we take baths together often when we were kids?

As he thought about this, his cheeks turned slightly red and his mind began to wander.

What's wrong with him? Isn't it just a grain of rice?

He didn't understand.

"You..." Fu Xuan wanted to say something but when he saw his innocent and clear eyes, he couldn't utter anything. He even forgot what he wanted to say in his mind for a moment.

Strange, what was she about to say?

Is it because Fanmu behaved too intimately?

But isn’t this how we all lived as children?

Blame him for the rebellion?

But...for some reason, she seemed to enjoy this feeling. Why?

Just now, Fan Mu's hand touched the edge of her lips, and at that moment, her heartbeat quickened a little.

Is it the joy of seeing your child grow up?

Forget it, I can’t figure it out, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I just don’t hate it.

On the other side, Fan Mu suppressed the random thoughts in his mind, looked at the sunset outside the window, thought about the special day in a few days, knocked on the wall of the bowl silently, and then asked cautiously with some anticipation: "Sister Fu Xuan, do you have time tomorrow?"

"How about we go out for a walk?"

Fu Xuan...I haven't been with him for a long time.

"No..." Before he could say the words of refusal, Fu Xuan saw his cautious eyes.

Think about it carefully, when was the last time you went out with Fan Mu?

It seems like I played there for a few days during the Chinese New Year three years ago.

"Okay, but you can only play for half a day!"

Helpless, Fu Xuan held his forehead and agreed!

In a few months, I'm afraid I won't have any free time at all, so I might as well squeeze out some time now to spend time with him.

She hadn't been with him for a long time.

"Great!"

After getting permission, Fan Mu shouted happily, the joy on his face was beyond words. Only at this moment did he look like a child, and only at this moment did Fu Xuan realize that he was only 13 years old!

13 years old, yes, 13 years old, still at the age of playing around.

I just accompanied him out for a trip, and his originally calm personality became so happy...

Fu Xuan's inner happiness gradually faded. Perhaps this really was a bad fate!

She did not regret taking care of Fan Mu. Fan Mu enriched her life. Even though she was very tired in the early years, she was not a qualified guardian and did not bring happiness to the child!

She has thought about this over the years. If...in an ordinary family, with Fan Mu's personality, he should be happier and less tired, right?

If... Fan Mu really lived in an ordinary family, that would be great, but by then... would she really be willing to give it up?

Fu Xuan herself didn’t know. She only knew that just thinking about it made her feel a little uncomfortable.

night.

Fan Mu was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep, holding the book given by Yan Qing in his hand.

Young Mother

His face flushed as he read the contents of the book, and his gaze subconsciously moved away from the book, but when his face turned away, his eyes couldn't help but turn back.

"What's this?"

He muttered quietly, his mind a tangled mess of thoughts.

"Is this... love?"

At the age of 13, he is in the prime of his youth and is also the age that is most interested in these love affairs. Before this, he had never been exposed to these things and only had a vague understanding of them. Now is the first time he has known them for sure.

"I want to live together for the rest of my life. I feel very happy when I live with the one I love. Every move of the one I love can leave a mark on my heart. I think about the one I love all the time. Is this... me?"

Fan Mu didn't understand, but according to the description in the book, he had all the symptoms!

He really would miss Fu Xuan anytime and anywhere, and think of her all the time. Fu Xuan's every move would touch his heartstrings. He really wanted to live with Fu Xuan for the rest of his life and would feel very happy.

"I love Fu Xuan...?"

Before this, he thought that his feelings for Fu Xuan were normal. Could it be love?

As he thought about it, he discovered that suddenly, his attitude towards Fu Xuan seemed to have changed a little. Was it always like this or... was he inspired?

The book said that if you marry your lover you can live together for the rest of your life, and he also wanted to be with Fu Xuan for the rest of his life.

...marry?

Isn't it okay for family members?

If getting married can allow him to live with Fu Xuan for the rest of his life, can he marry Fu Xuan?

After closing the book, Fan Mu fell silent. He didn't quite understand the twists and turns in the book. No one had ever told him about these things.
