Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

roof.

The moon tonight is a rare bright full moon, emitting silver light like a huge fruit plate, covering the light of the surrounding stars.

The stars are twinkling, as if countless bright pearls are dotted in the dazzling picture.

The gentle spring breeze, blooming flowers, quiet moonlight and twinkling stars together draw a beautiful picture that makes people intoxicated.

Fan Mu and Liu Ying lay flat on the roof, they were very close to each other and didn't mind the dirt. The whole night sky was reflected in their eyes, shining brightly.

There was silence except for the beautiful symphony played by the wind and leaves.

After a long time, as a breeze blew, Fan Mu lowered his eyes, and his tangled heart gradually became firm. He made up his mind, tilted his head, with half of the starry sky and the beautiful profile of the firefly reflected in his eyes, and called out softly.

"Liu Ying?"

The voice was soft but gentle, and she could hear it clearly.

"what happened?"

The sound of fireflies was also very small, sounding like the humming of the breeze. She was looking at the stars in the sky, counting them one by one idly but with great interest.

She felt very relaxed and happy at the moment. She hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. After running around for a month, her tired spirit was relieved at this moment.

The air at the tip of her nose was very fresh and free. At this moment, there was no distracting thoughts in her mind. It was like a person who was extremely tired and suddenly took a hot spring bath, with an exclusive band singing a gentle symphony in her ears.

“Did you notice the sky?”

"It's beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you!"

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Her heart felt even more beautiful. Everyone likes to be praised, and she is no exception.

"Well...I think..."

Fan Mu spoke very slowly, as if he was struggling, as if he was trying to make up his mind, or as if he had not yet figured out what to say.

"Ok?"

Liuying snorted softly from the tip of her nose, indicating that she was listening, but her eyes did not move away from the starry sky. She smiled and continued to count silently in her heart.

"........."

"I think I've fallen in love with you?" Fan Mu said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if his heart stopped beating for a moment, and then beat faster and faster. His breath was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down. His whole body began to heat up, and the evening breeze seemed to have stopped blowing at this moment, and it was no longer cool.

He didn't want to wait anymore, wait again and again, watch her get hurt again and again. Every wait was torment for him. He had never hated being alone so much.

He was afraid. He was afraid that one day he would never see her again. He was afraid that one day she would not come back. If his confession was successful now, at least it would leave a thought for her to come back.

There was no more sound in my ears. The world fell into absolute silence at this moment and began to throb.

Time flows slowly, slowly passing through every tiny moment. Every second seems to become extremely long, as if one second is as long as a year.

Time seemed extremely heavy at this moment, as if every second required a long wait before passing.

Maybe a few minutes passed, or maybe a few seconds, before she finally got a response.

"Um..."

The voice was very soft, but it was extremely clear to his ears, just a simple word.

Fan Mu didn't understand what she meant for a moment, so he fell silent and didn't ask any further questions.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He just blurted it out when his mind was hot. He clearly hadn't figured out what kind of love he had for her. Was it love between friends, or...

"Why... do you like me? What do you like about me?"

Liuying began to ask questions.

"I..."

Fan Mu was anxious and wanted to answer, but he didn't know what to say. His brain started to work rapidly.

Why did he like her... He himself didn't know why he suddenly liked her, why he liked Liuying...

Clearly they were just customer relations at the beginning, when did it become something else?

Is it the feelings that developed as you slowly got to know each other?

Is it her gentle smile?

What did he like about her?

This question was not difficult, but he couldn't answer it. When he thought about it, his mind was filled with all kinds of scenes, including her angry look, her gentle look when she stroked the kitten, and her swinging on the sunset. None of them were very important memories, and he couldn't explain them.

After thinking for a long time and hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't answer a word, as if he couldn't speak anymore.

"Haha!" Liuying looked at him, squinting her eyes happily. Under the silvery moonlight, her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was hot. A light laugh came from her mouth, and the hair at her temples fluttered, blending into the night, just like the wind chimes at the doorstep, accompanied by the sound of the wind, which made the clear, soothing sound that made those who heard the sound calm down in their hearts.

"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, you can think about it slowly later!" Liuying said with a deep smile in her eyes, "We still have a lot of time to create beautiful memories together, don't we?"

If it were anyone else, they would never agree to a date with someone who doesn’t even know why he likes them. After all, how can someone like you if you don’t even know why he likes you?

But Liuying agreed. Maybe she was in the right mood, or maybe she was really stupid, but she agreed to Fan Mu's confused and sudden confession.

The confession was very sloppy and didn't make people feel any affection. They just had some dessert together and looked at the moon together. That was it. There was nothing extra. She had just come back and hadn't had a good night's rest yet.

No beautiful flowers, no solemn suit, no romantic venue, no taking her to the amusement park, no third party witness.

The only ones who knew they were together were the stars, the moon and the breeze.

The evening breeze was blowing hard at this moment, blowing away the heat on people's bodies, as if it wanted to tell the birds and fireflies the news, and the wind dissipated quickly.

"Great philosopher? No, now... should I call you my boyfriend?"

She emphasized the last few words, and it was unclear whether she was joking or not. Fan Mu's heart trembled, and he felt happy, but after the happiness, he felt confused.

"why?"

"Ok?"

Fan Mu looked at her gentle eyes and began to back out. "Why do you like me...why did you agree to me?"

After calming down, he realized that his confession was too pale, too hasty, and he had no preparation at all...

He knew his own character. He was extremely lazy, had little money, and had many shortcomings, too many to count. Liuying also knew this. So why would she agree to it?

"Why, my great philosopher wants to go back on his word?"

"without!"

Fan Mu sat up and shook his head quickly.

"I am the only one who has many shortcomings..." He began to count on his fingers, one after another. After one round, he ran out of fingers and started again from the beginning.
