Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

Most people like Kafka's style, so I'm changing it back now. The sudden change may be a bit strange, so please forgive me! It will be fine in a few chapters!

"Let's go, Xi'er! I'll take you to see a doctor!"

As soon as he broke free from the rope, Fan Mu immediately carried Xier on his back and rushed to the clinic, not daring to delay for a moment!

Although he knew she was fine, he still felt inexplicably panicked.

This panic is definitely not because of worry, absolutely not.

While running, a money bag fell to the ground, and the sound of the impact was covered by the sound of running.

"Am I very useful!"

A faint but cheerful voice sounded in Fan Mu's ears. He heard Xier speaking again. The last time he heard her speak was a month ago.

"Very useful!" Fan Mu panted and ran at full speed.

No abnormalities found? That's good.

He was the one who planned this kidnapping.

Although doing this is very unfair to Xier, it is better than watching her being so depressed that she can't sleep every day.

It’s all because of this system. Once she can’t sleep, I can’t sleep either. It’s so annoying. Every day when I see her depressed, I feel like my good mood for the day is ruined.

system:"???"

"Ha ha!"

Xier chuckled twice. This was the first time he heard her laugh, but because she was behind him, he couldn't see her laugh.

Came to the only medical clinic in the lower area.

After a serious diagnosis, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and came to Fan Mu.

"It's nothing serious, just a little bit weak. There are some knife scratches on my body but they are not deep. They will scab over and heal soon. The only serious injury is the fracture of my right leg. It will probably take two or three months to heal."

"Thank you, Sister Natasha!" Fan Mu's lips were as white as honey, and a look of just the right amount of worry appeared on his face.

"Don't worry!" Natasha squatted down, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but finally sighed helplessly and advised: "We already knew that Xi'er was by your side, so don't be so ostentatious in the future."

"Hmm!" He was silent for a moment and then said, "Sister Natasha, won't you try to persuade Xi'er or me?"

"No!" Natasha shook her head gently. "Even if we persuade her to come back, Xier will find a chance to slip away. It's always been like this before!"

"But if she follows you, she won't..." She looked at Xi'er who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and saw a very small arc at the corner of her mouth. "We don't know why she is willing to follow you, but this is a good thing...isn't it? Xi'er can't grow up alone!"

"..."

"Is it impossible to grow up alone...?"

Fan Mu was lying alone on the hospital bed with Xier, his mind gradually sinking and dispersing, unspeakable emotions welling up in his heart.

Maybe...a person really can't grow up alone.

…………

"Sister Natasha, I will take Xier back first."

At the entrance of the clinic, Fan Mu waved goodbye to Natasha, then carried Xier on his back and slowly walked towards his residence.

A smell of sweat wafted from my nose.

"Tsk! It stinks! Aren't all baby girls supposed to smell sweet?" He muttered, saying something that was totally unrealistic.

After returning to his residence, Fan Mu was silent for a long time looking at Xier sleeping soundly on the bed. Finally, he took out a bucket and a towel.

He lifted her clothes. After more than a month of rest, she was no longer as skinny as before, but had gained some flesh.

He carefully wiped the sweat off Xier's body, wiping it over and over again, and finally kept muttering to himself while complaining.

"I really owe you my last life."

"Since you saved me today, I won't bother with you. But you still want me to wash your body? How can that be considered as low-class?"

"If you didn't stink and disturbed my sleep, I wouldn't help you wash."

After saying that, Fan Mu always felt like something was missing, so he added another sentence.

"It's all the system's fault!"

System: "6, you're not done yet? Come! Come! Come! Challenge me? Challenge me if you dare!"

After washing the upper body, he took off Xier's pants and began to wipe it.

As for the fact that men and women should not touch each other? Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? She's just a little girl!

He is still a boy now!

It’s good enough that he didn’t tell the girl to sleep in the same bed with him.

Only when he wiped the towel near his underwear did Fan Mu fall into a rare hesitation.

At this moment, he felt someone was looking at him. When he looked up, he met a pair of wide, blue, puzzled eyes, as if wondering what he was doing?

Without hesitation, Fan Mu pulled off her panties and said expressionlessly.

"What are you looking at? I'm cleaning your body for you, why don't you thank me?"

"Thank you?" Xier was still a little confused. When she heard him say that, she tilted her head and said in confusion.

"Yeah." Fan Mu nodded in satisfaction, "You're welcome!"

After scrubbing and putting the panties back on Xier, he slapped her butt hard again.

"Now that you're awake, get up. Don't forget the picture you just bought. Haven't you always wanted to see what flowers look like?" He raised the picture and waved it.

Hearing this, Xier's eyes lit up instantly. She sat up from the bed and was about to jog over but was held up by Fan Mu in time!

"You are injured now, just watch it on the bed."

"Here, there's also this chicken leg for you!" Fan Mu took out a chicken leg and stuffed it into her hand, then turned his face away and said viciously: "This is my reward for saving me today. Eat it quickly and get well soon after you're done. Don't even think about slacking off!"

Xier looked at him blankly, holding the picture in her arms and a chicken leg in her hand, looking particularly funny.

"Yeah." Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Fan Mu could see that she was smiling happily. It was a smile that came from her heart, a smile that she couldn't help, and no longer a smile of just being relieved. As he watched her, he couldn't help but smile too.

"Little idiot, humph!"

Xier carefully turned over the picture in her hand, and her eyes were captivated by the first page.

It was a flower that looked the same as the one embroidered on the bed, but the color was different. The flower on the bed was blue, while the one in the picture was white.

Seven or eight soft petals intertwined together to form a flower, and the picture showed a sea of ​​flowers.

"What is this?" Xier asked him, pointing at something in the picture.

Fan Mu gently pressed on her back and looked in the direction of his finger.

“It’s a butterfly.”

"what about this?"

“This is a tree.”

Without her asking, Fan Mu whispered, "Forget it, since you saved me today, I will be merciful and talk to you."

As he spoke, he gently held her hand, pointed to every place in the picture book with both of his small hands, and began to explain it to her patiently.

"These green things are grass, which can be seen everywhere outside. This large expanse of blue is called the blue sky, and above the blue sky are white clouds. This fiery red ball is the sun. It is warm and beautiful, and is also an indispensable thing in all life, representing vitality and hope..."

Every time he introduced a place, Xier's eyes would brighten a little, and it was hard for Fan Mu not to notice it. He looked at her longing and yearning eyes with a deep gaze.

A child knows nothing about the outside world. These are things that people can see as soon as they open their eyes. Unconsciously, his hands clenched tightly. When he reacted, Xier was still completely immersed in the world of the book and did not notice his abnormality at all.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Fan Mu's voice was a little hoarse.

Although Xier was reluctant, she still nodded obediently.

Fan Mu pulled up the curtains. He liked it a little darker, but he left a small opening to let some light in.

Xier rested her head on the flowers illuminated by the light on the sheets, holding the sketchbook tightly in her arms, with a faint smile on her lips. She closed her eyes, and the world fell into silence. However, the two of them could not fall asleep, each with their own worries.

"Xie'er?"

Not getting an answer, Fan Mu asked quietly, "What is your wish?"

"I want to see the shining sun. You said it was warm. I want to try it. I also want to see the flowers and grass..."

This time Xier answered quickly, as if she had already buried this idea in her heart.

There was a lilt to her voice as she spoke, with a wistful tone.

Fan Mu did not interrupt her long list of wishes, but listened quietly until she said she was tired, until she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

"........."

"Such a simple, plain wish? These are obviously not particularly good-looking things. It would be better to ask for a bag of money!"

"Goodnight, little fool!"

He said softly, sat up, and with the help of the light, pulled the quilt for her. Her not-so-pretty profile looked so peaceful at this moment.

There was happiness and hope on her face, even though this was just a childish picture!

"I really owe you in my previous life!"

By the way, he remembered that one of the mission objectives was to resolve the conflicts between the upper and lower levels. If the conflicts were resolved, would it mean that the upper and lower levels could move freely in the future?

You can see these if you go to the upper level, right?

Since there is no conflict, then just take the little brat with you when you do the mission!

In the darkness, he lay on the bed, supporting his chin with one hand, and using the other hand to gently comb the loose hair around Xier's ears in the light to prevent her hair from being pressed down when she fell asleep.
