Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"I am not myself in the eyes of others? Others in my eyes are me?" Liuying repeated doubtfully.

"Yeah." Fan Mu nodded slightly, "This is what a great philosopher said."

"Along the way, I've seen you always praising others for their gentleness, kindness, and beauty. That's because you see beautiful things. They are in your heart, so you are these beautiful things!"

"That group of people regard you, Miss Liuying, as a disaster, which shows that they are filled with disgust in their hearts. But Miss Liuying, you have done nothing wrong, so why, on what basis do they hate you?"

"It's just because he is that kind of person, but they can't figure it out, so they can only blame it on the person they hate in common."

At first glance, it sounds like a bunch of unorthodox ideas, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. At least Liuying hasn't figured it out yet and is chewing over this sentence carefully in her mouth.

And Fan Mu didn't want her to figure it out. After all, he himself didn't understand it either. If he really let her figure it out, then wouldn't everything he had worked so hard to say be in vain?

"Ahem, so Miss Liuying, you don't have to be sad. You are a gentle and beautiful person!"

"Gentle, beautiful?"

There was a fleeting trance in Liuying's eyes. Praise? It was not the first time she heard it, but for some reason... she felt that this time, she felt that the praise coming from Fan Mu's mouth was so different.

The corners of her eyes curled up and she smiled. She couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it. As long as she liked it and didn't hate it, that was enough.

With the help of the setting sun, she saw a small piece of vegetable leaf on Fan Mu's collar, lightly brushing against his body. She subconsciously reached out and gently brushed it off for him.

From a distance, the two looked like a couple in love.

Because they were so close, her hair fluttered and brushed against the tip of his nose.

Itchy.

Fan Mu's gaze shifted away unnaturally. It was too close. He was not used to it and didn't like it very much.

"Then, boss, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

After saying this, Liuying thought for a moment and continued to add.

"I want to hear your real thoughts, boss!"

This made Fan Mu swallow back all the compliments that were about to come out of his mouth. He met Liuying's sincere and expectant gaze, and after struggling, he still tactfully expressed his true thoughts.

"It's just... innocent."

"simple?"

"Boss, you actually want to say stupid, right?"

She directly revealed the meaning of Fan Mu's words.

Fan Mu also smiled awkwardly.

If what he just said is true, then wouldn't he be a fool?

But the key point is that Liuying just now seemed quite stupid in his eyes, so stupid that it was a little difficult for him to understand.

Liuying covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She didn't know if she was thinking of this aspect. Even though Fan Mu had never told any jokes, she couldn't control herself. This was a smile from the deepest part of her heart.

There was only a little bit of red left in the sunset in the sky, and the world began to dim.

"Boss, you don't have to call me Miss Liuying anymore. Just call me Liuying!"

"Um... okay, Firefly?"

Fan Mu touched the back of his head somewhat unnaturally, but ended up touching a green vegetable leaf.

This was the first time in his life that he had gotten along with a girl, especially a beautiful girl. Even though he didn't have any thoughts about her, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking at his shy look, and his somewhat embarrassed and funny appearance, the smile in Liuying's eyes deepened.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name, boss?"

"me?"

Fan Mu looked at her smiling face and knew that what he had done had been done, so he started smiling too.

"My name is Fan Mu, you can also call me the great philosopher!"

"Great philosopher...? Well, from now on, I will call you the Great Philosopher!"

At this point, the sun has completely set and night has fallen. Waves of cheerful laughter are heard in the park, mixed with the free wind and carried to the distance.

……

If life is likened to a grand game, then the vastness of this game exceeds the boundaries of any virtual world. In this case, how should we play this game well?

Just as Fan Mu was thinking about the answer to this question, a ray of light shone in from the door and illuminated his face.

"Great philosopher, where are we going to play today?"

Liuying had a gentle smile on her face, her hands behind her back, with her back to the sun, and she walked slowly into the house with brisk steps like a light butterfly.

"Hmm..." Fan Mu thought and replied: "Just like last time, let's go out for a walk."

"it is good."

This was the second week of the commission, and also their third meeting. Although they didn't spend much time together, the two of them acted like good friends, chatting, laughing, and joking around.

Of course, no one knows how much sincerity and interpretation there is in this.

Walking on the road in the early morning, accompanied by the breeze, Fan Mu talked freely, while Liuying listened silently beside him, covering his mouth from time to time, squinting his eyes and smiling faintly.

The atmosphere was harmonious, just like an autumn outing, although the purpose of their trip was to go out and have fun.

...

"Haha, I didn't expect that a great philosopher would have a troubled day."

Liuying listened to the questions raised by Fan Mu while eating the steamed dumplings he had just bought from the street. Her cheeks were slightly puffed up, like a little hamster that had just started eating. She chuckled softly, but there was no trace of mockery in her voice.

Fan Mu glanced at her speechlessly, holding a fried dough stick in his hand, "Come on, isn't it normal for a philosopher to think about problems?"

"Have you figured it out?"

"No!"

While speaking, she picked up another steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, humming twice, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Seeing her cute appearance, Fan Mu's speechlessness disappeared for the most part, but he still bit a piece of the dough stick viciously and said: "What about you, me?"

"Um......"

Hearing the resentment in his voice, Liuying ate the last steamed bun in small bites. There was a little juice on her thin pink lips and a look of satisfaction on her face.

"I'm sorry, great philosopher!"

Words of apology came out of her mouth, and then she trotted briskly to him, stopped, and clasped her hands together.

"However, great philosopher, can you tell me the answer to this question once you have figured it out?"

It was just a few casual remarks. Fan Mu didn't expect her to apologize, let alone act like this. He, who was always calm, suddenly became a little flustered.

"But... there's no need to be so grand!"

"If you want to know, I'll tell you when I figure it out!"

"Ah."

Liuying nodded heavily.

"we have a deal?"

"we have a deal!"
