Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Hua, do you still want to practice martial arts today?"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a young boy with a schoolbag on his back came up to the tomboy and asked.

"Ah."

Hua nodded slightly, lifted the backpack on his back, and a hint of apology appeared in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Fanmu."

"It's okay! It's okay!" Fan Mu waved his hands quickly, but the disappointment in his voice was inevitable. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Hua, you still have to inherit your grandfather's martial arts school after all. Let's talk about playing games together next time."

Although he felt sorry, he understood Hua's decision.

"Well, just for the weekend."

Coming to a fork in the road, Hua set a time and the two stopped.

The pale yellow light of the setting sun shines through the towering buildings onto the young faces of the two, filling them with beauty and hope.

Hearing this, Fan Mu's eyes lit up slightly but soon dimmed again, and he looked even more disappointed than before, "My teacher asked me to go to school for tutoring this weekend, otherwise I will fail the next monthly exam again."

"Is that so..." Hua said softly, then he remembered the tutoring regulations that were initiated not long ago. Except for those with particularly good grades, everyone else has to go to school for tutoring. Although this is not allowed, who knows?

No one dares to report, and no one will report, because all those who report have been dealt with.

"Well...I'll see if I can finish today's homework quickly tonight..." She said with a little hesitation.

"Forget it, Hua." Fan Mu shook his head, and a youthful vigor reappeared on his face. "I don't want your grades to drop because of staying up late."

It doesn’t matter what happens to you, but you can never drag your friends down with you.

"Well... okay, then... let's find another opportunity to play together later."

"Well, I suddenly feel that it's not necessary for two people to play on the computer together. Let's go to the arcade in two months!"

Fan Mu raised a smile on his face, the setting sun shining on his face. Looking at his childhood sweetheart's smile did not make Hua feel very warm. Instead, he saw ill intentions and a hint of cunning in the other's eyes.

Thinking about his luck, he sighed helplessly and agreed, "Okay, let's go play together during the summer vacation!"

"Okay, it's settled!" Fan Mu waved at her and walked towards the intersection. "I'm going home first. See you next week!"

"Yeah." Hua also waved goodbye to him, "See you next week."

After saying that, she walked in the opposite direction of the boy.

In fact, their homes are not far from each other, but they are both high school students, and it is near the end of the semester, so their lives are very tight. Now they have to go to school for extra classes during the holidays, so they have no time to visit each other.

There is no need to visit each other. After all, the two have known each other for 16 years and are so familiar with each other that they can meet again after a few months without feeling strange.

Of course, they had never been apart for more than two months.

The two have known each other since elementary school.

The hustle and bustle of the city passed through the dim clouds into the sky. As usual, the sun set as usual, the moon rose as usual, and the city was running as usual. Today was just an ordinary day. For the two of them, life had not changed much, and they would still be able to meet soon.

Both of them lived ordinary lives. They had no extraordinary talents, no miraculous adventures, and no experiences like those in picture books. The most enviable thing was not the small savings at home, but their 16-year friendship.

……

It was an ordinary afternoon, only one month away from the final exams at school. Today was a rare holiday. Hua was wearing only one piece of clothing, wiping the sweat off his face while sitting on a chair. A faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, like a flower that had not yet bloomed, insignificant yet eye-catching.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?"

For some unknown reason, the school was forced to take a few days off, and Fan Mu finally had some free time during this time. Although they hadn't made an appointment yet, she knew that he would definitely come to find her to go out and play.

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!

Just as she was thinking about it with anticipation, the cell phone in her pocket began to vibrate and make crisp sounds.

Taking out his phone and seeing the name of the caller, Hua's eyes softened and he picked up the call.

"Hua! Hua!"

Before I put it to my ear, I heard a happy shout from the other end of the line.

Hua said in a low voice with a hint of pleasure, "Yes, I'm here."

"I have tomorrow off!"

"Ok, I know."

"Shall we go play tomorrow?"

"it is good."

"Then it's settled!" The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while and said, "Then... wait for me at the snack street near the school at around 10 o'clock tomorrow. I left my homework at school when I came back, so I'll just go pick it up!"

"it is good."

"Okay, I'll hang up then."

"Ah."

After saying this, the two said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone without chatting about family matters or anything like that. There was no need for that given the relationship between them.

Looking at the hung up phone in his hand, Hua began to look forward to tomorrow more and more.

She spoke very little on the phone, not because she didn't want to talk to Fan Mu, but because she was not good at speaking and spoke very little, giving people the impression that she was difficult to get along with, so she didn't have many friends. Although she didn't care about the number of friends she had, she was still very happy when faced with invitations from her friends and Fan Mu.

The night is very dark tonight, and the evening breeze is blowing gently. The weather has started to get hotter recently, and the city is still bustling at night, but it gives people a cool feeling that is unique to summer.

The next morning, Hua woke up early and practiced boxing as usual. The martial arts gym was quite deserted, with only her there. It was not yet time to practice boxing, and she was already familiar with this kind of atmosphere.

After practicing boxing, he took a quick shower to wipe off the sweat on his body, changed into a neat set of clothes, and checked the time. It was a little after nine in the morning, which was still an hour before the time they had agreed upon.

"It's better to go early." She muttered to herself in the empty martial arts hall.

Car horns honked, passers-by talked, Hua walked alone on the street. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt a little weird. The expectation in her heart yesterday also disappeared, as if a thin layer of fog shrouded her heart.

Arriving at the agreed location, she began to wait under the shade of a tree at an intersection. Looking at the familiar snack street in front of her, Hua felt a little dazed.

It was as if everything before my eyes was so unreal.

He shook his head, looked at his phone, and waited.

Time came to 11 o'clock. Seeing that Fan Mu still hadn't arrived, Hua frowned slightly and looked at the tall buildings in the distance, but didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was called by the teacher on duty.

I twisted my neck and was about to go look for him.

Rumble!

A loud bang rang in his ears, accompanied by a gust of wind that raised a cloud of dust. Hua subconsciously closed his eyes, but... when he opened his eyes again, the tall building in the distance had collapsed accompanied by people's screams of fear.
