Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Okay, get dressed and go. You don't want to come out here just to play in the snow, do you?"

Fan Mu smiled and picked up two sets of cotton coats, two hats and a map from the ground not far away. It seemed that they had been prepared by someone a long time ago.

"Ah."

Xier nodded, with expectation in her eyes. She smiled and squinted her eyes. A happy emotion was spreading in her heart, and Fan Mu's mouth corners also unconsciously showed a smile.

After putting on their clothes and hats, which were very large to block out the sunlight, the two began walking in the snow. The wind was very strong and the snow was very cold. The heavy snow buried the ground very deeply, and the snow had reached up to their thighs. Every step they took was extremely difficult, but the two seemed to enjoy it.

The freezing cold wind blew on their faces along the cracks in the valley, and only the hot air exhaled from their mouths could bring some warmth. Xier didn't seem to feel the cold at all. She held Fan Mu's hand and looked around. There was only white snow around her, but she couldn't seem to see enough.

Soon, yet it seemed like a long time, a huge city wall appeared before their eyes. The tall wall blocked the cold wind and snow outside. It seemed to have been standing for a long time, a little old but still standing.

"Stop, who are you?"

When they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped as expected.

“Here are our IDs!”

Fan Mu forced a smile on his frozen face and took out an ID from his pocket.

The two guards took the documents and looked at them carefully before giving them a standard salute!

"Please come in!"

"Well, thank you."

As we entered the city, the snow and wind in the sky disappeared instantly, and even the air became much warmer, as if the entire city was covered with floor heating. I don’t know if this was the warmth emitted by the sun.

The streets are clean and bright, with many pedestrians!

The towering buildings and fresh air are what the downtown area doesn't have.

Gently patting Xier's hair to shake off the snow on her head, Fan Mu took out a large bag of Winter City Shields from his pocket, shook it, and said with a smile: "Let's go play?"

"Ok!"

Xier nodded vigorously. Although she was looking forward to it, she still did not leave his side, perhaps because she had no money.

"Let me think... where should I go first?" Walking on this wide street, Fan Mu pretended to be in deep thought, "Should I go have a good meal first, or go to a flower shop to look at the flowers, or listen to some pleasant music?"

"It would be nice to go to the movies on a day like this, if there are any movies here..."

He talked about his next trip and what he wanted to see. Was it really what he wanted to see? Maybe, after all, he hadn't seen it either, at least not in a movie theater or a flower shop.

"Where do you think we should go first?" He turned his head and threw the question out.

But I found that Xier was looking up at the sky, looking for something?

Looking for the sun?

The answer instantly popped up in his mind, and he looked up, and found that the sky was full of white clouds. It was so white that it seemed like the azure sky was painted white, and there was not a trace of blue to be seen.

In this kind of weather, even the blue sky can't be seen.

Although sunlight shines through the clouds, the naked eye cannot see the sun behind the thick white clouds.

Fan Mu saw the disappointment in her eyes and pursed his lips. A trace of sadness also appeared in his heart. He was afraid that they would have to wait a long time before they could come out again!

"Don't be discouraged, maybe after waiting a while the white clouds will disperse and the sun will come out!" he comforted her.

"Ah."

The corners of her eyes curved into crescents, and she believed it.

"Let's go check out the flower shop first."

He took her hand and began to look for it on the street. The street was large and spacious, and he could see shops in the distance at a glance.

He soon found the flower shop. He pulled Xier, and it seemed as if Xier was pulling him, and they quickly ran to the door of the flower shop.

There were jars and bunches of colorful flowers placed outside.

Xier squatted down and stared blankly at the flowers in front of her. Before, she could only see them in pictures, hear them in stories, and imagine them in her mind. Now, they really appeared before her eyes.

"Master, this really looks exactly like the picture."

She shouted happily, looking at the bright smile on her face like a little girl, so innocent, even though she was only eleven or twelve years old.

"Yeah, exactly the same." Fan Mu also squatted down and held her timid hand, which was cold.

In his impression, Xier has always been a brave person who is not afraid of danger. It is strange to think that she would become so scared at a time like this.

He took her hand and gently stroked the petals. Fan Mu could not feel the touch of the petals, he could only smell the faint fragrance of the flowers.

"How is it? Is it soft and fragrant?" He rested his head on Xier's shoulder, and the hot breath he exhaled blew on her earlobe.

"Ah."

Xier still spoke very little, as if she was not interested in these things, but the ripples in her eyes were like countless little fish scrambling to jump out of the blue lake, creating waves.

After squatting on the ground for a while, seeing that Xier had no intention of leaving, Fan Mu chuckled, gently picked her up, and walked into the flower shop.

A gust of warm air mixed with the scent of various flowers wafted into my nose. It wasn't unpleasant, but it always felt like something was missing.

The store was not big and there were not many customers, but it was filled with all kinds of flowers. Xier was stunned again.

"Boss, give me a bouquet of flowers!"

"Okay, handsome boy, what do you want?" The clerk wiped his hands, came over with a smile, and leaned forward slightly to look at him.

"Recommend one and I'll give it to you..." Fan Mu was stunned. What should she call Xier, sister?

But she is not his relative.

Just call by name?

He didn't know why he couldn't say it out loud.

Fortunately, the clerk understood what he meant. He covered his mouth and smiled faintly, his eyes full of mockery, and went back to the front desk to pick flowers.

Clearly she had misunderstood something.

Soon she came back with a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

"Little brother, give this to that little girl. She will definitely like it." The clerk said in a slightly teasing voice.

"The first snow falls, and its flower language is: pure innocence, beautiful memories, and innocent time."

Fan Mu looked at the pot of flowers, which was as white as the snow outside. Although he wanted something with brighter colors, the meaning of this one was very good.

"Okay!" He nodded gently, "That's it!"

Fan Mu paid the money, which was quite expensive, and came to Xier and forcefully diverted her gaze to himself.

Before she could ask anything, he stuffed the flowers into her arms.

"Here, this is for you. It's a reward for your dedication and responsibility in protecting me over the years!"

Fan Mu was like a victorious peacock, his face full of pride.

Xier looked down at the white flowers in her arms, then looked at the other gorgeous things around her, and hugged the flowers in her arms a little tighter.

"Um!!!"

The clerk looked at me with a smile, his face full of tenderness and kindness.

In the flower shop, there was warm breeze and beautiful flowers. Fan Mu turned his face away. Xier hugged the flowers tightly in her hands and looked at his profile with smiling eyes.

The sunlight outside refracted through the special mirrors in the flower shop, turning into colorful lights shining on them. The scene looked so warm.
