Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

The fireworks at night are beautiful, emitting gorgeous flowers in the sky.

The next day and the day after that, he lived a repetitive life. Time passed by little by little, and Fan Mu got used to this kind of life.

He couldn't touch anything, couldn't do anything, could only stay by Fu Xuan's side... For some reason, he was actually a little happy, as if this was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Sister Fu Xuan, it's getting late, aren't we going back?"

Fan Mu sat in the pavilion looking at the red sunset in the distance. The whole world was dyed golden, and the New Year came to an end.

"Well, there's no rush to rest today, just walk with me for a while!"

Fu Xuan ate the dessert in his hand with a smile and waved his hand indifferently, indicating that it didn't matter.

Fan Mu looked at her quietly. He didn't know when it started, but Fu Xuan had more and more free time, and the pile of documents on his desk became less and less. Basically, he could find time to accompany him every day.

These changes happened in just over ten days, especially the days when she disappeared. He didn't know what Fu Xuan did during those days, but he knew that she had changed a lot after she came back!

He looked up at the sky, then at the general's mansion in the distance, pressed his chest, and felt inexplicably uneasy. He thought of the person he saw this morning.

There seemed to be hundreds of people, all wearing armor, with messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and exhausted, but they looked like they had just come down from the battlefield and were dragged here without having time to rest.

Before he could think, Fu Xuan hurriedly pulled him away. He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional...

Fan Mu pondered, feeling as if there was something in front of him that he couldn't grasp, and he was just one step away from getting over it but still couldn't get over it.

He asked Fu Xuan about this matter, but...didn't get a definite answer.

"Fan Mu!"

Just as he was thinking, Fu Xuan suddenly interrupted him.

"How about I stay at home with you after I quit my job?"

Her voice was trembling, but she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.

"Why do you say that suddenly?" Fan Mu asked.

"No, I've worked hard for so many years and I'm a little tired. I want to take a break. This is a good opportunity for me to help you find a solution to your problem!" Fu Xuan said with a smile.

"Tired?"

So many official documents would be tiring...

"No need to do it just for me!"

Fan Mu shook his head slightly and refused.

The position of Taibu is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. This position is not just talk.

It would be funny if Fu Xuan, who could be his 'family member', lost his bright future because of him.

Of course! It's possible that everything is just a trick to deceive him...

"Are you hiding something from me?" Fan Mu looked at her suspiciously.

"No way, okay, I've sat enough, come with me for a walk and get some fresh air!"

Having said that, she stood up and left the place quickly, as if she was... running away.

It was not known whether she was not good at lying or she was intentionally revealing something, but her attitude already explained a lot of things, and Fan Mu no longer had the heart to ask further questions.

Do you want to check?

He hasn't thought about this matter yet. After all, he doesn't have any special goals or ideals in living here. For him now, just being alive is enough, that's all.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to care about or understand the past grudges and disputes.

The sky was getting darker and darker as the two walked on a small path leading into the mountains.

The evening breeze is slightly cool, but I can barely feel it on my body, and it brings a sense of comfort.

It was just night time, and logically the mountain should be full of people taking a walk after dinner, or perhaps young couples going out.

But what was unexpected was that there was no one else on the mountain today except for the two of them, as if the residents of a wealthy family had deliberately cleared the area.

When we came to the mountains, we saw lush and green grass.

Fu Xuan sat down on the edge of the cliff and patted the ground beside him hard, motioning him to sit over there.

After Fan Mu sat down, the two were silent for a while, and no one spoke first, as if they had agreed on it in advance.

The lights in the distant city began to dim gradually. The arrival of night caused the fireworks in the sky to become brighter. As the gorgeous fireworks rose high into the sky, Fu Xuan finally spoke with a smile.

"Fan Mu, look, there are so many stars in the sky today!"

She blinked her big eyes and looked like an innocent child when she smiled.

Fan Mu was speechless and looked up at the starry sky.

"One, two..."

Fu Xuan pointed at the stars in the sky and began to count them one by one. This time, not only the voice but also the behavior was very childish.

After counting the stars, he began to sing softly, or maybe it was a song, he was humming some melody, it was quite nice to hear.

It was like a nursery rhyme, childish and cheerful. Although he had never heard of a nursery rhyme, he felt that this was what a nursery rhyme should be like!

The stars became brighter and brighter, the fireworks in the distance became fewer and fewer, the fiery red color in the city faded, and it seemed as if a long time had passed, and yet it seemed as if only a short while had passed.

Fan Mu remained silent until the sound beside him became smaller and smaller, until it turned into a breeze that blew the weeds nearby and disappeared.

"Do you know what this song is called?" Fu Xuan asked softly, lifting his messy hair to his ear.

"Hey, I'm not a child anymore, Master Taibu, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

After a long while, he sighed. Fu Xuan hadn't been normal recently. He was too close to him. Well, compared to before...

He looked at the starry sky. He didn't know when a few stars in the sky dimmed. Perhaps they were blocked by an invisible dark cloud?

Now Fu Xuan seemed to want to stick to him all day long, which he didn't like.

Fan Mu pressed his chest. He just felt a little happy? Disappointed? Expected? Resentful?

It's like all kinds of emotions are mixed together, so uncomfortable...

Is it the original obsession?

He looked at the enthusiastic Fu Xuan standing beside him and inexplicably had a feeling of unreality. The person was still the same person, but it seemed like she was no longer the same person.

Hearing what he said, Fu Xuan paused, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The impression she left in Fan Mu's mind, even if he had lost his memory, didn't he still think that she was not such a person?

"The name of this song... nevermind..."

Come to think of it, she still didn't say it...

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars have dimmed a little, and the night wind seems to be colder...

……

Do you want to say goodbye now?

Fu Xuan's thin lips were trembling slightly, his eyes were tangled, his fingers were grasping the tender grass beside him, his consciousness was sinking at this moment...
