Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"I...I'm sorry..."

Fu Xuan apologized again.

The voice was so small that a gust of wind could cover it up, but Fan Mu who was standing by could hear it clearly.

"There is no need to apologize, Master Taibu."

His expression was still indifferent and somewhat helpless. He shook his head slowly, and looked a little lazy.

My ears were filled with all kinds of sounds, among which the noise of children and the sound of the wind were the most prominent.

"That person in my memory is not me, nor is it you, Lord Taibu. Just watch it for fun. After all, you are the Taibu, and you sit in this position. I don't need to tell you how many evil people there are in this universe. I'm sure you know better than me!"

"This might just be a trick they played, especially the group of people from Huanyue..."

"..."

"So that's what you think?"

"Ok?"

It was not the expected rebuttal and silence, but a rhetorical question.

Fan Mu looked at her and saw her eyes. Her amber pupils matched the light of the setting sun, and were filled with seriousness and sadness.

With her young figure and face, she looks like a child who was stood up by her friends and is sad and upset alone.

If he didn't know that the person in front of him was just developing slowly, and if the two of them had not lived together for more than ten years, he would probably really think so.

"I don't know if you really think so, but I believe that memory is real!" Fu Xuan bit his lower lip tightly, his voice rarely became heavy and excited, and he pressed his chest with one hand, his fingers exerting force visibly.

"I don't know how it came to be, and I don't know when it happened, but that emotion has been deeply engraved in my heart!"

"Although that relationship of more than ten years only occupied a small part of my life, I can never forget it. That's because you exist!"

"After you left, I tried to find a way to revive you, and I also tried to die. Finally, I found the Star God, I found Boshizun, and finally knew of your existence. Finally! I came here!"

She spoke with increasing agitation.

"I know you are my child, and I know you are unwilling to acknowledge my identity, but... I beg you to give me a chance!"

"I am willing to give up my current position, just ask you to give me a chance, a chance for us to be together for life!"

Having said this, she suddenly calmed down and became surprisingly quiet, as if the person just now was not her. She gently held Fan Mu's hand, raised her eyes slightly and looked at him with pleading in her eyes.

"Okay?"

The emerald green leaves waved gently, and birds flew across the sky, heading towards the sun, chirping something.

The fiery red sunset reached its peak at this moment, becoming brilliant and sparkling like gold, bringing warmth and hope for a new day.

Fan Mu stared at her blankly. Time became extremely quiet at this moment, leaving only the voice that kept echoing in his ears.

Seeing him like this, Fu Xuan felt a little happy and thought there might be a chance. He held his hand a little tighter, but it was immediately pulled away the next moment.

die...

His unwillingness to meet Fu Xuan again did not mean that he had completely lost his feelings for him, nor did it mean that he only had malice towards that memory.

Death, he never thought that this would happen to Fu Xuan, nor did he ever think that she would commit suicide for this. It was obviously just a small matter, a small matter that was no big deal to him, just a passer-by in his life.

He looked at Fu Xuan and the expression on her face, which was a little lonely and hurt. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what she had just said was true or false.

Did his death really hit her so hard? But...from daily life, she couldn't feel how much love Fu Xuan had for her!

He is like a pet, the kind that you feed him when he is in a good mood, and find food for himself when he is in a bad mood.

Fu Xuan was stared at by him and inevitably became nervous. She knew that the most critical moment had come, but she could do nothing but wait quietly here, waiting for the decision, waiting for her own judgment...

It's ironic, from birth till now, she has always been the one to judge others, but now she is being judged by a rookie, an unknown boy!

She looked around nervously, not daring to look directly into Fan Mu's eyes. In this cool time, under the invasion of the breeze, she felt a little hot.

Fan Mu remained silent. The world began to become dim. The golden light on the street gradually faded away. He clenched his hands unconsciously at his sides. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and made up his mind.

Open your mouth and speak.

When Fu Xuan saw his current appearance, a chill instantly spread from her heart to her whole body, as if she fell into an ice cave, freezing cold.

"Wait a moment!"

In a hurry, she interrupted what Fan Mu was about to say, and only said three short words. She couldn't stop breathing heavily on the spot, as if these three words had drained all her energy.

“Ha…ha!” He laughed twice, his smiles seemed forced, and his speech became a little stammering and incoherent. “I…I suddenly remembered that I brought something with me. I’ll give it to you. We can eat and talk over there…eat and talk.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked to the side, towards the place where she had just sat. His steps were weak and he staggered, as if he had no strength left in his body and not a single bone to support his body. It seemed as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.

Although the destination was only a few meters away, it seemed like centuries away at this moment. She had never thought that one day the road would be so difficult to travel.

Seeing her current appearance, Fan Mu remained silent and ultimately did not say anything.

Why was her reaction so big?

He knew the answer, but he didn't want to believe it.

Why do people only learn to cherish something after they lose it?

Thoughts drifting.

If... he had family and friendship from the beginning, would he be like her and not care at all?

She didn't think too much about it, because in just a dozen seconds Fu Xuan came back with a bag in her arms, a bag that could be seen everywhere and didn't seem like a bag that someone of her status would use.

Walking in front of Fan Mu again, Fu Xuan was almost knocked over several times, but he still held the bag tightly in his hands, overcoming the human instinct to protect the body when encountering danger.

The look of about to fall down could not be acted out without rehearsing it thousands of times. Combined with her expression just now, that look of fear, it is hard to imagine that this is how she would behave. Perhaps only the best actors could pull it off.

Fu Xuan gently handed the bag in his arms to Fan Mu, as if it was an extremely important thing. His face was pale, but it was stained with a blush by the setting sun.

"Here... This is my gift. No matter what your answer is in the end, I will accept it. I just hope you can... accept it."
