Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

It's a new day again. The rising sun slowly climbs up the sky, but the light of hope is blocked by the curtains drawn beside the bed.

Fan Mu opened his eyes. Because of his biological clock, he got up very early. After washing up, he started to do housework for the new day.

Washing clothes, mopping the floor, and cooking.

As the last dish of vegetables came out of the pot, Kafka came out of the house, yawning, and rubbing her eyes lazily, as if she had not woken up yet!

It’s not that she woke up on time on purpose, but Fan Mu would wake her up at this time every day, which made her develop a habit.

"I told you not to read too late, why don't you listen?" Fan Mu knew at a glance that this girl had been reading very late again last night, and he walked up to her in annoyance to help her straighten her messy collar.

"Well, I'm sorry, big brother!" Kafka apologized in a low voice.

"Yes..." After hearing the apology, Fan Mu paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "No need to say sorry to me, we are family!"

This is not the first time he has reminded me like this!

"Yeah." Kafka nodded. The older brother said that she didn't need to apologize, but she had to apologize if she did something wrong. That's what a good child should do!

"Okay, go brush your teeth and eat!" Fan Mu gently rubbed her head.

After breakfast, as usual, Fanmu washed the dishes, while Kafka prepared to go out to the flower shop.

"Wait a minute!" This time, he stopped her when she was about to leave.

Kafka tilted her head and gave him a questioning look.

"I put a candy on the table... Eat the candy before you leave!" He said hesitantly, but still chose to use the candy, even though he didn't know whether the candy was harmful or not!

"Okay, thank you big brother!" She came to the table and thanked him. After that, she looked at the packaging that she had never seen before, stuffed the candy into her mouth without any hesitation, and hurried out the door.

"No...it's okay!" After she left, an echo was heard in the house for a long time.

Candy: It can stimulate people's deepest thoughts to a certain extent, and will subjectively bring them closer to the person they have the best relationship with, making the relationship between the two people heat up quickly!

"I hope it's really useful and can increase the progress of the task!" Fan Mu murmured. This was his last hope and wish.

Time seemed to pass especially slowly today, as if the world had been paused. The ground had been mopped three times, and this was the twentieth time he had looked at the time on the clock.

"9 points, still early!"

He looked at the clock, but his hands were busy.

"Just wait!"

He didn't know when the candy would take effect, maybe it had already taken effect now, or maybe it hadn't.

He was hopeful, but also afraid. What was he afraid of? He didn't know, he just felt his heart pounding.

Finally, after much torment, it was noon and time for lunch. Because I had checked the time too frequently before, I didn't notice that the lunch was delivered a little later than usual.

Fan Mu poured the fish soup from the pot and walked out quickly on the shiny and greasy floor.

It was late spring and the weather had begun to get hot. Braving the scorching sun at noon, he put on sunglasses and came to the door of the flower shop.

Looking at the flower shop just a few steps away at the corner, Fan Mu kept pacing at the entrance of the alley, nervousness, fear, excitement and all kinds of emotions spreading in his heart. At this moment, he became a little timid.

It's okay, there will be no problem this time.

After taking a deep breath and preparing himself mentally, Fan Mu walked into the flower shop under the scorching sun.

"Kafka, grandma?" As soon as he entered the door, he looked for the two of them, but at this time when the flow of people was the most concentrated, he did not see them in the store.

"?"

Faintly, he seemed to hear some sound, as if it came from the back door.

The back should be where the old lady lives. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to go in directly?

Fan Mu looked at the door handle in front of him, hesitated for a moment and decided to walk closer. At this point, the worst that could happen was that he would apologize to the old lady later.

He pushed the door open and walked in. The room inside was small, but the sound was getting louder. As soon as he entered the room, he saw two figures sitting at a wooden table.

A kind old lady and a well-behaved and quiet little girl.

At this time, the old woman was putting food into the little girl's bowl with a smile on her face, and neither of them noticed his arrival.

Obviously, this is a very warm scene, but it is extremely uncomfortable in Fanmu's eyes. Family love is the most inclusive of all emotions, which means that he, as a brother, is not unique to Kafka.

No... This kind of thing has happened before, why is he thinking so much about it this time?

He shook his head to clear the confusion in his mind, and then Fan Mu wanted to speak while holding the fish soup, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, Fang Yi saw him standing at the door.

"Oh! Young man, you're here. Sit down!" Fang Yi moved a stool from the side and placed it next to the table, motioning him to sit down. "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"

She looked at the bowl in Fan Mu's hand and understood, then patted her forehead with a smile, "I saw you came later than usual today, and I thought you were busy with work again."

"You, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoka, just focus on your work!"

"Big brother!" Kafka called him at this time.

Fan Mu looked over, but found that she was just calling him simply.

Yes...the magic item hasn't worked yet?

"Kafka, come here, this is fish soup!" He carefully placed the fish soup on the table, then hesitated and said, "Then I... will go back first, I still have work to do!"

"Well, goodbye, big brother!" Kafka looked at him and said goodbye. Her eyes were no longer calm as before, but thoughtful.

"See you."

After coming out, Fan Mu walked alone on the bustling street. Feeling empty inside, he did not return home but chose to wander around the street.

He didn't buy anything and went from one place to another.

Buzz...Buzz!

I don't know how long I walked when the phone in my pocket started vibrating.

"Hey, Boss, seize this opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again. It will be too late to regret it then!"

"..., Tsk! Why are you everywhere?"

"Hey, you can't survive in the universe without some skills!"

"I'm still thinking about it!"

"Is that so? Fine, hang up!"

"Wait!" Fan Mu hurriedly stopped him.

"What's wrong, brother?" Sangbo asked.

"That's it..." He couldn't speak when the words came to his lips. "Forget it, hang up!"

Without giving him a chance to ask questions, she hung up the phone.

Standing there, the knuckles of his hand holding the phone had turned white. The weather was hot and it was time to wear short sleeves, but he felt a chill coming from nowhere, making him feel cold all over. He felt a little cold.
