Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

“If life is likened to a grand game, then this game is so vast that it goes beyond the boundaries of any virtual world. In this case, how should we play this game well?

At the beginning of the game, the first thing we need to do is to understand our role positioning.

Everyone's life role is unique, and such a grand game must have a complex group of role positioning, some are tenacious; some are strategic; some are rescuers... Unlocking your own role means accepting your own imperfections, embracing the uniqueness and beauty, and thus finding your place in the world of the game."

In the dim cabin, as Fan Mu finished his explanation, the surrounding space returned to silence, with only the pointer on the wall still ticking.

Liuying pondered, and a momentary look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, smiling and clapping her hands in support.

"Okay, don't force it."

Fan Mu sighed and shook his head gently. How could he not see the disappointment in her eyes?

But he hadn't thought of using this question to find out the answer in her heart...

what is the meaning of life?

He has thought a lot about this issue, but has never convinced himself. Even deep in his heart, he is a little confused about this, but as long as he doesn't think about these things, it doesn't matter.

He sat opposite Liuying and looked at her with slightly complicated eyes. It had been eight weeks since they met.

The time has come to 2 months, which sounds not short, but the actual time we spent together was only 8 days.

But in just these 8 short days, the two of them became very good friends. Well, it’s not quite right to say that, it was Liuying who became his friend.

He likes the gentleness, cuteness and playfulness of Liuying.

During these 8 days, every word he said and every question he asked was responded to, which made him feel valued.

He didn't know if this was how friends should get along, but he liked this feeling.

Of course Fan Mu also knew that an important reason why he could treat Liuying as his friend so quickly was because she was his first friend.

"No, you're not forcing yourself. What you said is great. You deserve this applause as a great philosopher. But this is not the answer I want."

"The meaning of life, well, I will definitely help you find it!" Fan Mu's expression suddenly became serious, looking into her eyes, and he knew it with great sincerity and seriousness.

"Actually...it's not that urgent!"

Liuying met his gaze and seemed to see a look of concern in his eyes. She looked at her reflection in the juice in her hand and said embarrassedly.

"I don't think too much about it now. I just live one day at a time."

Liuying took a sip of the juice on the table, stood up, smiled nonchalantly, and said something very nice, and no one could find anything unpleasant about her.

Is this high emotional intelligence?

Does that mean she really thinks so?

"Are you going back?"

Fan Mu did not respond, but lowered his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking. He stood up with a little reluctance in his heart.

"I'll send it to you."

"Ah."

Liuying did not refuse, and the two of them walked to the wooden door side by side.

As soon as the door was opened, the dazzling moonlight shone through. The alley, which was extremely dark during the day, was now extremely bright. Looking up, I could see the moon, as bright as a jade plate, standing above my head.

Two months have passed and it is already late autumn. A gust of wind blows and the air becomes chilly. You have to wear at least two layers of thick clothes before going out.

"Well, just send it here. No need to send it anymore."

Liuying walked out of the room in three or two steps, turned around, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and said to him with a smile.

She smiled so gently and so...beautifully.

The silver-gray hair trembled in the silvery moonlight, as if it had merged into one with it. The alley was small, but at this moment it seemed to have become the girl's stage.

Fan Mu stood in the darkness of the house, while Liu Ying stood in the moonlight slightly higher than him.

She knew his personality. He didn't like to be in the spotlight or go to crowded places.

Fan Mu shook his head slowly and walked out.

"There are fewer people at night, it's quiet, it's nice to go out for a walk and enjoy the evening breeze. It's just the right time to see you off."

"Is that so?"

The smile on Liuying's face deepened, with a hint of cunning in it, and it seemed as if a devil's tail had appeared behind her green skirt, sliding across his chest.

"Is that really all there is to it?"

She moved closer to him. They were actually about the same height. She tilted her head and spoke softly into Fan Mu's ears, making his heart itch.

"Or else?"

Fan Mu raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't understand why she said that. He crossed his arms across his chest, turned around and walked ahead.

No matter how bright the moonlight was, it was still not as dazzling as the sunlight during the day. In the darkness, Fan Mu pulled his clothes up unnaturally to cover the tips of his ears which had already turned a little red.

Sometimes...he really wasn't sure what he and she were thinking.

He seemed to have fallen in love with the girl in front of him...

And the girl in front of him seemed to realize that he seemed to have fallen in love with her.

It's a bit messy and a bit...embarrassing.

Perhaps it was because society had only been stable for a short time, or perhaps it was because of some other reason, although the streets were still lit at night, not many pedestrians were seen.

The surrounding buildings and shops were all closed and it was pitch black. The only light left on the street was the faint light of the street lamps, which was not as bright as the moonlight. The street was very quiet except for the sound of the wind, which was sometimes high and sometimes soft. It sounded like a sad symphony.

After a long while, neither of them spoke first.

Maybe it's because we have no common topics.

"call!"

Liuying rubbed his hands, and the air he exhaled turned into wisps of white mist under the moonlight and drifted in the air.

Fan Mu was stunned for a moment, then his brows unconsciously frowned slightly. He took off his coat and gently covered her with it without thinking too much.

Looking at his masterpiece, he nodded with satisfaction, until he saw Liuying's teasing smile and realized what he had done. His ears turned red instantly.

In a panic, he subconsciously tried to pull his clothes to cover it up, but at this time he was only left with a pair of pajamas that he was too lazy to change. There was a husky printed on it with a gleam of wisdom in its eyes, running in the dark night, and the surrounding area was full of shining fireflies.

"what happened?"

Turning his head away, without waiting for Liuying to speak, he asked in a muffled voice.

Looking at his shy appearance, Liuying suddenly found him very cute, and somehow, she had the urge to tease him.

Her originally gentle and considerate character quietly changed a little at this time. It’s not really a change, but the thoughts in her mind made her do things that were not in line with her character.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

She asked back with a smile, her tone full of distress, which made Fan Mu feel even more embarrassed. However, where he couldn't see, feeling the remaining warmth on her clothes, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, and she shrank her head, as if she wanted to shrink her whole body into her clothes.

Unconsciously, both of them slowed down their pace, and no one knew who started it first.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. There was no awkwardness or silence, but the two of them couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Finally, a cool breeze blew, making Fan Mu's collar rustle. He couldn't help but steal a glance at Liuying's long skirt and stockings, as well as the clothes draped over her. He felt a little irritated and excited inside?

"Liuying, aren't you cold wearing so little?" Fan Mu asked, staring straight into the distance.

"Hmm..." Liuying tapped her pink lips, slowed down her pace, walked behind him, tilted her head and looked at his back with a smile, "It seems... a little cold!"

Is she cold?

There wasn't one before, but maybe there is one now.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Fan Mu didn't respond, she suddenly remembered something, patted her smooth forehead in distress, and sighed.

"Oh no! I forgot that the temperature has dropped drastically recently. What if I get sick tomorrow? And there are also missions to be carried out."

"Um…………"

She dragged out the tone in her mouth, as if she was thinking, but unfortunately Fan Mu was walking in front of her, so even if he glanced at her from the side, he couldn't see the thoughtful expression on her face.

"Oh, it seems there's nothing we can do! We can only pray that we don't get sick tomorrow."

After a long time, Liuying sighed, as if there was really no other way.

"If you get sick, you'll be in danger. If you're in danger, you'll get hurt. If you get hurt, you'll need to rest. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in bed for a short period of time and won't be able to go anywhere!"

"Hey!"

She sighed deeply again, closed her eyes, and her voice was full of helplessness.

Boom!

"Ouch, what's wrong?"

She rubbed her nose gently, not understanding why Fan Mu, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.

Unexpectedly, Fan Mu just turned around without saying a word. The two of them were very close, and Liuying could feel his hot and rapid breathing.

"Uh-huh?"

Finally, in her puzzled and shocked eyes, Fan Mu actually took a step forward and walked in front of her, then squatted slightly, lifted her thigh with one hand, supported her back with the other hand, picked her up and held her in his arms.

"Hey, hey!!"

"You, you, you, what are you doing?"

Feeling the touch of the warm skin on her body and realizing her current posture, Liuying blushed instantly. Her mind went blank and she had no thoughts at all. In desperation, she kept patting Fanmu's back.

"Didn't you ask me to hold you?"

Fan Mu said in her ear in dissatisfaction.

"Me? When did I let you hug me?"

Liuying calmed down, but her cheeks were still very red with shame. She stopped what she was doing and asked in confusion.

"You keep saying it's cold, and I don't have any clothes on. It's so cold, you can't possibly ask me to take off my pajamas!"

"You are my client. What if you want to take back my consulting fee because I am sick, have a cold, have a fever, or get injured?"

"I can only carry you back!"

Fan Mu said a lot without blushing or beating his heart, which made Liuying stunned.

So this is really her problem?

It’s a... ghost!

"I, I don't want your money. I'll give you money and you'll put me down, okay?"

Liuying's voice softened and she sounded like she was negotiating. Thinking about what she had just done, she felt like crying but had no tears. She was also a little nervous, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the collarbone on Fanmu's shoulder.

Normally she would never do that, nor would she say that. She didn't know what happened to her just now.

She was just teasing him and was only saying it jokingly. Now when she thinks about it, she feels so embarrassed.

How could you say something like that yourself?

Liuying couldn't help but cover her face, and her face became even redder, like a red peach that was about to drip water, making people want to take a bite.

"not good."

Fan Mu refused outright. Even though he felt very embarrassed now, he had already hugged her. He tightened his hands a little and his eyes drooped slightly. He didn't want to let go. He felt like this... was very comfortable.

In the 16 years of his life, he had rarely felt so comfortable. He felt...warm and a little tipsy in his heart, as if he had drunk some wine and floated to the Cloud Palace in the sky.

In fact, he was also surprised by his own boldness. After all, in the previous few times they were together, he didn't dare to take the initiative to hold hands, but this time he hugged her. Everyone said it was very bold, and you could even say that his brain was confused at that moment.

"Woo..."

After whimpering twice, Liuying patted and scratched him symbolically. Seeing that Fan Mu was determined not to let her go, she stopped struggling.

Maybe it's because he knows that no matter how hard he struggles, it's useless, or maybe it's because of some other reason.

The fallen leaves on the street fluttered, her silver hair danced, and the street lights flickered. She couldn't help but shrink her body and snuggled into Fan Mu's arms, with her two slender hands pressed against his chest on both sides.

The skin was so hot, I didn't know whether it was my own or Fan Mu's. With his coat draped over my back, except for the occasional wind blowing on my feet, I felt extremely warm, even a little too warm.

Liuying closed her eyes shyly, not daring to look up and meet Fan Mu's gaze. She buried her face in his arms, as if this could hide her shame and anger, which was a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults.

Fan Mu said lightly.

Hearing this, Liuying didn't dare to look up anymore and buried her face a little deeper. She could clearly hear his strong, powerful, and rapid heartbeat.

His chest was not as strong as he had imagined. Perhaps it was because he did not exercise, but it was a little soft. However, it was more comfortable this way. At least it was not painful.

Ahhhhh!

The scream of a groundhog erupted in Firefly's heart.

The night is long, the moon is big, the stars are bright, and time seems to be frozen at this moment, passing very slowly.

There was silence all around except for the constantly encouraging heartbeat. Under the same moonlight, in the same breeze, the two were silent, yet it seemed as if they had said everything.

Fan Mu was secretly delighted and she did not refuse.
