Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

Fan Mu lowered his eyes and finally cast his gaze towards the old men on the street. The vegetables on their stalls had obvious signs of being scraped, but they were not any smaller in quantity. They looked a bit... stale.

After moving around a bit, he continued to wander aimlessly on the street. To be honest, he still didn't have any intention, but he didn't really want to go on.

I'd better go back after buying the oak cake roll...

As he thought of this, the image of Liuying's surprised and happy face when she saw the cake roll when she came back appeared in his mind, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He used his last savings to buy a large bag of oak cake rolls, then returned to his cabin and felt his empty stomach.

"I have no choice but to find a temporary job tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to survive."

Is he stupid? Very stupid!

There was no money left, and I spent it all on buying cake rolls.

It was obvious that there was no relationship between him and Liuying. To be honest, Liuying was his customer and should be the one who paid. But now he was the one who had to pay.

Fan Mu stroked his forehead with a smile, feeling a little distressed. Why did he seem a little out of his mind at this moment?

At least you should leave some money for daily living expenses, right?

"Hey!"

.....

Time flies, the second day, the third day, time passes by little by little.

After working continuously for eight or nine days, it was the end of the month and it was probably almost time for Firefly to return.

To be honest, Fan Mu had never felt time passing so slowly before. He felt like he had lived two days in one day.

In the past, a day would pass by when he closed his eyes and opened them again. Nothing special happened, and there was not even anyone else around. He was the only one sleeping in the room.

Logically speaking, time should pass very slowly in such a life, but he was used to it and didn't feel it was slow at all.

However, every day is very fulfilling now. Sometimes I go out to work, sometimes I go out for a walk, sometimes I lie down to sleep, and more often I stay awake to think about problems, thinking about what I should do now? Is she injured?

He felt like he was almost useless, and now seemed to be unable to live without Liuying!

Why? Love at first sight?

Fan Mu couldn't think of an answer.

He's been feeling a little...panic lately?

I've been worried about her safety.

I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already evening. This time period is usually when people have dinner. If it was any later, it would be dark and people would not go out, so there shouldn't be too many people on the street.

"Let's go out for a walk and relax..."

He didn't wear sunglasses this time because the sun outside, although bright, was not very strong.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the thick clouds and dyes the blue sky and the world golden red.

Perhaps because it is spring now, the wind outside is very strong, making people's collars rustle. If you stand in place and look up, if you look carefully, you can even see the early morning clouds fluttering in the wind. Although it is very slow, it is indeed fluttering, drawing a graceful arc in the sky, which is very beautiful.

As he expected, there were not many pedestrians on the street, at least not as many as in broad daylight.

They walked in twos and threes, chatting and laughing. Some were standard families of three, while others held hands like a couple in love...

Fan Mu sat on the swing in the park and watched them. The swing swayed back and forth. He withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.

Because it is outside the city and there are tall walls, the scenery that can be seen is actually not complete. At this moment, the city wall has turned into a mountain, and the setting sun is slowly sinking into the top of the mountain.

He didn't want to go out before because it was too noisy outside, the sun was too strong, and he liked being alone, so he had no reason to go out. Then later, because of the arrival of fireflies, he was willing to go out, but he had one more reason not to like going out.

Because... people here don't like Grammer Iron Cavalry, and don't like Firefly!

The swing swayed back and forth, dancing up and down. He stretched out his hand, as if he could touch the sky. A feeling of lightness permeated his whole body, as if a pair of wings had grown behind him, wanting to take him flying.

It's a novel feeling, but... that's it.

Fan Mu didn’t quite understand why Liuying liked sitting on the swing so much?

After all, she can fly, and it's not like Mecha SAM can't fly.

The sun was about to set completely and fall behind the city wall. The people in the park had become very few. The only sound in my ears was the sound of the wind, filled with freedom and loneliness.

Fan Mu sat on the swing for a very long time. The swing's amplitude was sometimes large and sometimes small. When it was the largest, it was about to flip over the railing above his head. When it was the smallest, it was almost motionless.

"A bit...boring..."

Thinking of this, he yawned deeply, with a dead look on his face, and wanted to go back.

Although his favorite night was about to arrive, the light would be dimmer and the environment would be better if he stayed in the house, in his wooden cabin.

There was nothing to worry about, just go. However, as soon as his buttocks left the swing, he was suddenly hit by a huge force, forcing him to sit down again and swing with the swing.

As a burst of fragrance came in from the tip of his nose, Fan Mu's eyes lit up, and his lonely heart was stirred again. He seemed to come alive at this moment.

"Liu Ying?"

The swing fell down, and he wanted to look back at the people behind him, but it immediately swung up again, this time flying higher.

Every time he fell, Fan Mu felt the soft skin on his back, and every time he fell, he could smell a fragrance accompanied by the breeze.

He no longer looked back because he had already identified the person behind him.

"Hi! Miss me?"

A familiar voice came from behind, with some playfulness and anticipation.

"Ah."

Fan Mu nodded lovingly, and admitted his thoughts with a smile without any shyness, "I think about it, every day."

Perhaps she didn't expect him to admit it so decisively. Liuying's pale face instantly turned red, which looked even more charming under the sunset. Unfortunately, Fan Mu couldn't see it.

"Hmm, did you buy me my oak cake roll?"

"I bought them and put them at home. I always remember what you want to eat!"

"How was your month?"

"It's fine, except that I miss you a lot."

"Well……"

Liuying suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore and just pushed the swing silently.

In the inner city, it was Fan Mu who pushed her, but now in the outer city everything is reversed.

Every time the swing fell to the highest point, Fan Mu could see the afterglow of the sunset again. The bright golden sunset shone in his eyes without being dazzling at all.

A strong wind blew, shaking the grass on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of freedom.

At this moment, a pair of light wings seemed to have grown on his back. Unlike wings, these wings were full of freedom and could take him anywhere. He seemed to be able to see a bright future.

As the wind blew, he seemed to... understand why Liuying liked sitting on the swing so much!
