Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Does the flower need our help?"

"No need." Liuying held the black card tightly in her hand, feeling relieved. "I think... every flower there was planted by me."

"I see... Then you should need this!"

As if she had been prepared, Kafka took out a big bag from somewhere and handed it to her. Facing Liuying's puzzled look, she slowly began to explain.

"This is the seed of a special flower called Bauhinia."

"Its growing conditions have nothing to do with the land. It just requires strong feelings and thoughts in the heart of the person who plants the flower."

"Originally, this seed had a growth period of six years, but after special modifications, it now only needs the emotions to reach a sufficient standard."

"I think... if it's this kind of flower, it should bloom quickly in your hand, right?"

Liuying looked at the bag in her arms, and at the seeds inside that looked like amethysts. She felt touched. She held the bag tightly and said thank you sincerely.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Go ahead!" Kafka waved her hand gently. "I'll wait for you here at the same time tomorrow!"

"Ah."

Liuying nodded heavily, without hesitation, put the seeds away, and used the money to buy the valley and the highest standard of insurance from the company.

From now on, that valley became her private property. Anyone who approached would be driven away by the company. The company also installed some special devices near the valley to prevent people from accidentally entering. She could finally rest assured.

At night, the grass is peaceful. The breeze blows and the grass sways gently, like a girl's skirt dancing.

Looking up at the starry sky, I saw a shooting star. It drew a beautiful arc in the grass and flew away into the distance.

Firefly carefully dug a hole in the ground and buried the seeds, ignoring the mud stuck to her skirt.

He didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't stop for a moment until midnight. Finally, all the seeds were planted, and this huge valley was finally filled with flowers, waiting for the next time the flowers bloomed.

Liuying sat on a higher ground at the junction of the grassland and the river. There was a small empty area around it, with only a 44-square stone tablet standing there.

She leaned against the stone tablet, feeling extremely safe and happy. She could finally feel at ease. How long had it been since she felt so safe and happy?

As she thought about it, the happiness in her heart turned into sadness. She couldn't stop crying and sobbed softly. She had been so tired, so bitter and so difficult over the years.

I am so tired from work every day and go to bed so late every day. I am so jealous every time I see other people’s happy families!

It was the loneliness that she couldn't get rid of as she was swallowed up in the crowd, lingering on her fingertips.

Great, now everything is finally on track.

At this moment, endless fatigue surged into her mind and into every part of her body. Now she just wanted to have a good sleep, so she turned over and lay in front of the stone tablet.

Liuying looked at the dazzling starry sky. The evening breeze blew, blowing the surrounding flowers and plants, and the woods in the distance. The tip of her nose began to be filled with the fragrance of the fresh firefly, and rustling lullabies began to come to her ears. The fluttering hair brushed her nose lightly, making her itchy.

Countless stars in her eyes gradually gathered into the shape of Fan Mu. She stretched out her hand to grab it but caught nothing.

This world is so quiet, beautiful and peaceful.

The grass is covered with stars and moonlight, like golden elves dancing.

In this beautiful atmosphere that seemed like a dream, the firefly slowly closed its eyes. Autumn nights are actually very cool, especially in this kind of valley.

But perhaps it was due to her physical condition, Liuying only felt incomparable warmth, as if she was lying in someone's arms, lying in... Fan Mu's arms, lying on a small bed, wrapped in a quilt, with a cold wind outside and a heater in the house.

It's so beautiful, like a dream.

She closed her eyes, and gradually her breathing became steady and she fell into a dream.

The dream was beautiful. In the dream, she dreamed of Fan Mu again. In the dream, she forgot everything here. Her heart was full of joy. She was sitting in his arms, eating the cake happily.

Fan Mu was behind her, gently combing her hair, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

……

Obviously... all of this was just a daily routine in the past, but... now I have to rely on dreams to recall it. Obviously... dreams should be about more beautiful things.

……

Finally, she was awakened by purple lights.

She opened her eyes in confusion, blinking...blinking, as if she was not awake yet, but soon her eyes suddenly widened, attracted by what she saw in front of her.

What's in front of you?

The moon was still high in the sky, the stars were still bright, the evening breeze was cool, and from time to time a fallen leaf floated down from the sky, falling into the water and creating ripples.

On the grass, under the moonlight, one could faintly see a large patch of thriving flowers, and further out, there was a brilliant purple patch, filled with patches of purple flowers, like amethyst.

Is it... Bauhinia?

Liuying thought uncertainly that there was nothing else except the Bauhinia flowers.

The beautiful flower bloomed brightly under the moonlight, and it was unclear whether it was so bright because of itself or because of the moonlight.

She stood up and wanted to take a closer look. As she walked through the flowers, dots of fluorescent light suddenly flashed.

Liuying naturally also noticed this strange scene.

"Is this... a firefly?"

She leaned over, her voice filled with surprise, and there was a twinkling light in her eyes, the light of fireflies.

After more than four years, she finally saw fireflies again. Fireflies finally revived in this land. Although there were not many, far fewer than the last time she saw them, but they were fireflies, fragile fireflies. It was just... she didn't know if these were the fireflies with her name...

There are not many fireflies, but they can share the darkness with the moon and stars.

……

The next evening, Liuying just arrived at the agreed place and saw Kafka who had been waiting there for who knows how long.

"How is it?" Kafka asked softly.

"Let's go..."

"Leaving? Not coming back to see you again?"

Liuying stopped walking forward and took one last look back. She seemed to be able to see the covered valley. She looked at the setting sun and nodded slowly.

"gone."

"it is good!"

Originally, she should have been buried here, but she now wanted to use her last time to fight and find a glimmer of hope. She was no longer needed here, so it was time for her to leave.

Flowers are blooming all over the mountains, and there will surely be more flowers blooming next year.
