Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Uh..."

Fan Mu came into the house and sat on the floor. Only then did he begin to pay attention to the facilities inside the house.

The wooden walls had turned black and gray and looked extremely dirty. The floor was made of pieces of rubble. The only large furniture in the room was a bed, a table with one leg crooked, and a small, completely open wardrobe, all made of wood.

As for the other furniture, they were small blackened items that looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time and stains had stuck to them.

"What are you looking for? Do you want me to help you?"

After bringing him in, Xier ignored him and was busy looking for something. It seemed that for her, all she had to do was bring him into the house.

Fan Mu could only watch her back as she rummaged through things, and had no idea what exactly she was looking for.

Finally, Xier stopped searching and turned around. He saw a blackened white cloth in her hand, which was tied with many knots and contained something wrapped inside.

Sitting down half a meter away from him, Xier carefully unwrapped the white cloth, and Fan Mu saw what was inside.

A small piece of...bread?

Xier slowly broke the bread in half from the center, holding one piece in her hand, and moved the other piece with the white cloth from the ground to in front of him.

"Thanks?"

Fan Mu picked up the small black lump with some spots on it. He couldn't tell what it was used for. It looked like bread. Is this a feature of this world?

He looked at Xier and saw that she was chewing the food in small bites, as if she was afraid that any residue would fall to the ground.

Food?

Fan Mu no longer hesitated and took a bite. He felt like he was biting a piece of rock. It was extremely hard and difficult to chew. It tasted strange in his mouth, extremely bitter with a little bit of bread flavor.

To be honest, he didn't want to eat it after just one bite, but considering that it was a token of someone else's kindness, he still endured the toothache and finished it.

I just don't know if this is deliberate revenge.

He ate very quickly, and when he finished and looked up, he saw Xier carefully wrapping the bread in white cloth again.

Fan Mu's throat choked. Isn't this food? Was he screwed?

Fortunately, he soon discovered something wrong. The wrapped bread was smaller than when she held it in her hand just now.

The bread was not big to begin with, and after splitting it in half I only ate a small piece of it, so I could probably finish it in two or three bites.

Watching her hide carefully again, Fan Mu remained silent, with some guesses in his mind.

Looking at the clothes she was wearing and looking at this house, it seemed that this little kid's life was more difficult than he thought.

Is there a food shortage?

"Why are you willing to share your food with me?" After a moment's silence, he asked Xier who was sitting beside the bed.

The other party still didn't say anything, but glanced at him lightly and looked at the empty bottle on the ground.

Because of these two or three bottles of water?

So, is water also precious in this place?

In this case, it makes sense why the other party was unwilling to wipe his face with water before. He was reluctant to do so, could not afford it, and had no water.

The more he thought about it, the heavier Fan Mu felt in his heart. He was now very curious about why that man had hit her before, but he couldn't ask because that would undoubtedly open up the other person's scars.

Now he can only hope that this is an isolated case. After all, if a person cannot even afford normal food and water, then this society is probably on the verge of collapse.

The bread was very dry, and my mouth was also dry after eating it. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked up, only to see Xier sitting on the bed with her arms around her legs and her head resting on them, motionless as if in a daze, but also as if she was always alert.

"Come, drink some water!" He took out a bottle of water from the space.

Xier glanced at the water in his hand with calm eyes and paused for a moment without moving.

"Hey, come on, just consider it as a treat from me!"

Fan Mu suddenly became frivolous and sat directly on her bed, which caused another round of hostility.

For such autistic boys, waiting is a method, but you can't just wait blindly, otherwise the relationship may remain the same after a few years. Take necessary measures when necessary, because it is impossible for them to take the initiative to tell you their true feelings.

He has mastered this skill very well. After all, in the orphanage, many children are extremely sensitive, and there are also many problem children.

This time I have to be shameless.

He took a few sips and handed the bottle to Xier's mouth.

"Come!"

Seeing that the other party still didn't appreciate it.

"Tsk, you just don't give me face!" Fan Mu looked unhappy, "Tell me, do you want me to feed you or do you want to drink it yourself? If you want me to feed you, then let's fight on the bed again!"

Xier's tense little face wrinkled and she gave him a fierce expression, with her two little fangs showing. Looking at her current appearance, Fan Mu felt that she was a little pretty for some reason, as if she was acting coquettishly.

No, no! What are you thinking?

Fan Mu hurriedly shook his head, interrupting this thought. He was successfully disgusted by himself.

Children are all cute. What's so good about good-looking? Good-looking is used to describe girls.

"Come!"

He put the bottle to her lips. Her dry and pale lips instantly absorbed the remaining water drops at the mouth of the bottle, becoming more rosy.

The colorless and tasteless water became somewhat sweet at this moment.

Xier moved her butt to the side and turned her head away stubbornly, but her rolling throat expressed the desire in her heart.

"Hey, alright!" Fan Mu spread his hands, "Disobedient children will be beaten."

Without giving Xier time to react, he pounced on her like a hungry wolf and pinned her under him. No matter how she resisted, she could not escape.

Now that our relationship is a little closer, it's okay to do such playful actions, as long as you don't get too angry and know when to stop.

"Are you still going to be stubborn with me, your big brother?" Fan Mu pressed her on his legs and made a noble and great gesture, a gesture that had nurtured countless great men!

This is something every parent should do!

That is... spanking!

Every time he hit the person in his arms, she would resist more fiercely. Fan Mu looked at her stubborn expression with amusement, gritting her teeth and refusing to admit defeat. He felt secretly happy in his heart, wondering which quirk of hers had been satisfied!

"Hiss, are you a dog? Let go, let go, oh hoo~"

While playing, a faint fragrance wafted into my nose, even though there was dust all around.

After making a fuss for a while, Fan Mu felt that it was enough, so he handed the bottle of water he had drunk to her mouth again.

"Okay, drink it!" Fan Mu's voice was threatening, "Hey handsome boy, you don't want to be spanked by me again, do you? Hmm?"

Gritting her teeth, Xier raised her head and glared at him fiercely, biting her lips tightly, her eyes slightly red, and clenching her fists tightly. Finally, she took the bottle of water and drank it all!

Just like it was an extremely humiliating thing for her.

Seeing her like this, Fan Mu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had gone too far. However, he didn't use much force when spanking her, and he didn't hit her many times.
