Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

In this drowsy world, consciousness gradually returned.

"What's wrong with me?"

Fan Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the memories before he fell into a coma began to play in his mind like a slide show.

I sat up suddenly and saw myself lying on a bed, naked without even underwear. I knew who had done this without thinking.

Xier was curled up in a corner not far away, seemingly asleep.

"System, why am I in a coma?" he asked. Doesn't he have super recovery ability? Why would he be in a coma?

"This... um..." the system's hesitant voice sounded, "Maybe it's because of the time travel... Maybe! When you traveled through time, you absorbed some harmful substances to your body. This substance cannot be treated by physical means. This is why you are covered in wounds when you just woke up!"

The more he spoke, the clearer his logic became. There was no trace of panic in his voice. Instead, it was extremely firm. It was obvious that he was lying with his eyes open.

"Is that so?" Fan Mu covered his head in pain, the pain before he fell into coma was still vivid in his mind.

This system is really unreliable. It’s really hard for the previous person to encounter this thing.

"Are you scolding me?" A voice with suspicion and a hint of certainty sounded.

After more than 100 years of living together, it knows what kind of shit this guy is going to do just by looking at his butt.

Damn it, I’m taking the blame again, fuck, you Fan Mu, I’m *****ing you!

"No, how is that possible?" Fan Mu denied it directly.

He turned his gaze back to Xi'er, his eyes full of complex emotions. He now realized that it was normal for people to lose control at that time, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. This feeling was like being betrayed, but he couldn't tell where he was betrayed.

He picked out a piece of clothing from the system space and put it on. He got out of bed and carefully came to her side. He wanted to carry her to the bed to sleep, but she woke up as soon as his hand touched her.

Meeting her sleepy gaze, Fan Mu subconsciously pulled his hand back.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, Xier immediately put on a fierce expression on her face, with her two small fangs exposed. After a few seconds of reaction, the expression on her face froze, and then slowly retracted, returning to her usual tense look.

"Well, I just want to carry you to bed." Fan Mu coughed lightly and explained.

"Now that you are awake, have some bread!"

He pulled out a bag of bread.

Forget it, why should he bother with a child?

Fan Mu suddenly felt quite despicable. Although this matter could not be blamed on the little brat and he was not affected at all, what if he was just an ordinary person?

Although the blame cannot be put on the little brat, she did cause him real harm, yet he could still forgive her so generously!

He didn't understand what he was thinking. For some reason he didn't want to leave. He should obviously turn around and leave now, severing ties with the matter. The life-saving grace this time was definitely enough to repay the favor.

"Eat it!"

Fan Mu opened the bread bag. Even in this dusty place, the smell of the bread inside was so sweet!

Xier looked at the bread that was handed to her mouth, and the fragrance drifted into her nose. After such a long time of resting, her stomach started to growl uncontrollably when she smelled the aroma of food. She did not choose to eat it, but looked at him with a puzzled look.

There was no vigilance, no suspicion. When he met her eyes, Fan Mu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw a trace of trust and guilt in her eyes.

"Eat!" His voice softened unconsciously.

Still a child after all.

"You can't do this to me again after you eat my bread!" Fan Mu smiled indifferently and let the matter go.

It's strange, since he is obviously a vengeful person.

Xier finally took a small bite of the bread that had been rubbing against her lips. It was the first time she took the initiative to eat something he handed to her.

One bite, two bites, his eating speed gradually became faster and faster, as if he was wolfing down the food.

"Eat slowly, I have more!" Looking at the way she ate, Fan Mu looked at her with some pity. He didn't know how long it had been since this child had eaten. Afraid that she would choke, he took out another bottle of water and two packs of bread!

Faced with the water and bread handed to her, Xier did not move. She just licked her dry lips after eating the bread in her hand, looked at the gentle and smiling Fan Mu in front of her, and said her first words.

"Don't you hate me?"

Green and tender, this is the voice that belongs only to children. In this dim and stuffy space, it is like a drop of spring water, it does not belong here!

The voice rang out, echoing in the silent room. Fan Mu looked at her and noticed the temptation in her eyes. He was not surprised at all that she would speak, and just smiled.

"Why should I hate you?"

This question contains too much. Why doesn't Fan Mu hate her attitude? Why doesn't he hate what she just did? Why doesn't he hate her...

"Since you are still a little kid who knows nothing, if you eat one more, I will forgive you!"

At this point in the atmosphere, Fan Mu should have touched her head to comfort her, but he didn't. He still kept a little distance from Xier. It wasn't because he was afraid of her, but he knew that the little kid needed this little distance.

He tore open the bread wrapper again and handed it to her mouth, "Open your mouth, ah~~"

Facing his tone of coaxing a child and looking at his cheerful smiling face, Xier didn't know what was wrong with her. Smelling the scent of bread, she just felt her nose sour.

Her not-too-long hair covered her eyes, and Fan Mu could feel through the touch of his hands that she was eating in small bites.

Without making any sound to disturb her, he looked at Xier who was still huddled in the corner, and suddenly a wrong idea popped up in his mind.

How does this feel the same as when he usually feeds stray dogs?

Put the food in your hand and wait patiently for the dog to relax his vigilance and come over to eat.

Let me make it clear that he feeds stray dogs not out of love or because he can't stand it! Absolutely not!

This feeling of conquest is very similar, but compared to the latter, he prefers the current feeling. This feeling is warmer and makes him more comfortable and have a greater sense of accomplishment!

Does this mean that it feels better to feed people than to feed dogs?

On a closer look, does it mean that humans are better pets than dogs?

Bah! You're thinking too far ahead!

When did he start to have such wild thoughts?

"I will protect you from now on!"

A promise came out from Xier's tender mouth. Fan Mu saw the seriousness in her eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see a blurry figure. His heart skipped a few beats at that moment, and soon disappeared.

"Okay!" Fan Mu smiled, shook his head and didn't take it seriously.

Just listen to what the child says.

"Come and have a drink of water! After you drink it, you will be mine!"
