Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Hey, don't be angry!"

Xier sat on the bed and huddled in the corner with her head lowered, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

But this was a signature move. Even though she didn't say anything as usual, even though she didn't cry or complain, Fan Mu knew she was angry. No, or rather, not angry, this expression was more like... grievance? Angry?

It doesn't look like either.

why?

He only hit her a few times without using much force, and Fan Mu couldn't understand it.

Other children would always have signs or obvious expressions before getting angry. This was his experience, but these experiences seemed to have no effect here.

"I'm sorry!" Fan Mu apologized.

Apologies may not have much effect in the adult world, but they are enough to solve most problems for children.

Xier still ignored him, and the atmosphere became cold for a moment.

Fan Mu crawled to her side and sat down with her, imitating her behavior. He stopped talking and neither of them moved.

After a long time, he heard a gentle and light breathing sound, and suddenly he felt some force on his left shoulder, as if something was pressing on his shoulder, sinking slightly.

Fan Mu turned his head slightly and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and found that Xier had fallen asleep at some point, with her head resting on his shoulder, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, affecting the wound, as if she had had an uncomfortable dream.

After all, she is still a child, so it is normal for her to feel tired after going through so much.

He did not move and maintained his original posture. He had a hunch that if he made the slightest movement, the other party would be instantly awakened. It was not a big deal, but inexplicably he just didn't want to do it.

He looked at Xier's profile, with strands of blue hair floating in the air. Her skin was neither soft nor fair, and was covered in some dust, but there was a faint fragrance that wafted into his nose.

As he watched, he gradually became fascinated. Endless thoughts flashed through his mind, but disappeared in an instant. Then he felt a little sleepy and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Are you sleepy?

Strong recovery ability does not mean unlimited energy. After making so much noise for so long, he should be sleepy. However, Xier is really cute! The name is also very nice, just like... his sister.

Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes, completely unaware of what he had just been thinking. He forced himself to take out a blanket and cover her with it, completely ignoring the dust on her body, and then fell asleep in this position.

The world fell into silence at this moment. There was no chirping of insects, no rustling of wind, only a slight breeze that raised a cloud of dust.

The soreness, numbness and pain became more and more clear in a dark world. Fan Mu frowned uncomfortably and slowly opened his eyes.

He was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes. He looked around and reacted when he saw the person still sleeping on his shoulder.

"How long have I been asleep?"

He still maintained his distant posture as if he had never moved. His left shoulder was sore and it felt like the bones were dislocated.

"What a deep sleep!" Fan Mu sighed in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Looking at Xier sleeping soundly, his shoulder didn't seem to be so uncomfortable at this moment.

"I've let you use my pillow for so long. If you're still angry with me when you wake up, I'm going to spank you!" he said in a very low voice.

“Come to think of it, why didn’t I remember that my sleeping position was so good?” Fan Mu thought to himself.

He remembered that although his sleeping posture was not bad, he definitely could not stay still like this. What was the principle behind this?

"Just be happy on your own. If someone else relied on me like this, I would have let them go and have fun on their own!"

Fan Mu didn't know why he seemed to care about the little brat in front of him. He was just full of sympathy at the beginning, so how did it develop to this point?

Was it a way of repaying the debt of gratitude for being saved? Or was it that the other person endured the pain and risked his life to come to him out of concern for his safety?

"Woo!"

A very soft murmur was heard, like the purring of a kitten.

"are you awake?"

Xier's eyelids trembled slightly, and her little face was bitter, but she never opened her eyes. One second, two seconds,... Her round eyes like the blue sky lit up instantly, and her body bounced up at this moment. As soon as she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she locked her gaze on him fiercely.

"..." Fan Mu waved at her with a sunny smile on his face, "Good morning!"

Facing her threatening eyes, Fan Mu spread his hands innocently and pointed at the blanket on the bed, "You have done what you should do, and I have also done what you shouldn't do. Now you are turning your back on me?"

"You can't do this, you have to be responsible for me!"

"You were happy and comfortable all night, but I was so sore!" He stretched lazily in pain.

Xier looked in the direction of his finger and saw the strangely styled blanket. She was silent for a moment, and the fierce expression on her face slowly faded away, and her two little fangs retracted.

Seeing this scene, Fan Mu suddenly felt a little sorry and wanted to tease her, but then he thought better of it. It would be difficult to deal with her if he made her angry after all the effort to coax her. There might not be such a good opportunity next time.

Besides, why is he teasing a boy?

"Eh~" The system's contemptuous voice sounded in my mind.

Fan Mu pretended not to hear.

It must be this system’s fault. His previous host must have become a pervert because of this. It’s all because of this system. It must have cast some kind of spell, such as subconscious hypnosis!

He pushed the blame onto the system without hesitation. He was not a person who liked to push the blame onto others, but he felt no guilt in pushing the blame onto the system. It could even be said to be a subconscious action, as if it was not the first time he had done this.

"Yes, eat!" Fan Mu got out of bed, took out two bags of bread, and forcefully stuffed one of them into her arms, "Hurry up and finish eating, and go say hello to the old lady in the orphanage."

"After so much time, this monster should be gone!"

It was necessary to go back and report that I was safe. Firstly, in the eyes of the old woman, if I didn't go back, something must have happened to me. And since she agreed to let me go out, I would feel guilty.

Secondly, he could see that the old woman cared a lot about Xier, and he was not comfortable leaving Xier outside alone, so he might as well send her to an orphanage!

Xier looked at the large, beautifully packaged, yellow bread in her arms without moving. This was something she had never seen before.

The sweet smell of wheat seemed to penetrate the packaging and captivate her nose.

"What? You still want me to feed you?" Fan Mu patted her shoulder and said with a look of pity: "If you were a girl, I would feed you if you suffered a little loss, but you are a boy, you must be self-reliant and keep up the good work! I believe in you!"

Of course he knew that this was not the reason why Xier didn't eat, but that didn't stop him from saying it, did it?

Being funny is a necessary skill to amuse children.
