Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

“Powdered sugar?!”

Danzhu, who had worked in the Mobius laboratory for two or three years, didn't know that the bottle contained powdered sugar.

"Hmph." Mebius turned his head.

Chapter 54: The Return of the Grayshu Family

After forcing Klein to take a vacation, Mebius personally supervised Yaqing to drive Klein back to the company's accommodation area.

Mobius is indeed the kind of capitalist who deserves to be hanged under the streetlight, but it cannot be denied that the benefits she provides to Klein, Cang Xuan, and Dan Zhu are the highest among all the snakes in the world, and their salary is nearly three times that of Kevin, a social animal.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to the courtyard. Yaqing and Mebius pushed open the gate of the courtyard cautiously, like thieves. Seeing that the living room was pitch black, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"boom."

With a bang, the lights in the living room lit up instantly, and everyone in the courtyard came out from behind the sofa, holding salutes and firing salute ribbons at the two of them, even Kevin and May were among them.

"Welcome back!" There was also a hint of joy in Alicia's sweet voice.

Yaqing and Mobius were completely dumbfounded, looking at this scene, their CPUs started spinning like crazy. Even with their IQ of 160, they couldn't guess what Alicia and them were up to.

"Ah?"

When Alicia saw that it was Yaqing and Mobius who came in, she was so stunned that her eyes widened.

Yaqing silently took off the red ribbon on his face, looked at the people in front of him, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's only been a few hours since we last met, you don't have to be so excited, right?"

"Uh..." Kevin and Mei looked at each other. It was over. They had forgotten about Yaqing and Mebius. Neither of the lovers remembered them and thought they would not come back tonight.

"So, who are you planning to welcome?" Mebius removed the ribbon that was stuck to his hair.

"Uh..." Sakura pointed behind them awkwardly.

Mebius turned back.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the woman looked at Mebius with curved eyebrows. She was wearing a white dress, had a gentle temperament, and light blue shoulder-length hair. She hugged Mebius.

"Doc, we're back from our trip to North America."

"Blanca!" A hint of surprise flashed in Mebius' beautiful eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Brother Yaqing." Little Grace ran out from behind Blanca and opened her arms to Yaqing.

No one can refuse little Gray Xiu's hug, at least Ya Qing can't refuse. Picking up little Gray Xiu, Ya Qing smiled and said, "Little Gray Xiu, I haven't seen you for such a long time, do you miss your brother?"

"I thought about it~" Little Grayxiu rubbed Yaqing's face.

"Little Grayshu, do you miss Sister Mobius?" Hearing Grayshu calling Yaqing brother, Mobius also came over and automatically changed the name of aunt to sister.

"I miss you too, Grandma Mebius." Little Grace's voice was sweet and her smile was very healing.

But Mebius' smile gradually disappeared, and his beautiful eyes looked at a certain pink fairy lady with murderous intent.

The culprit didn't dare to look the victim in the eye. He whistled, pretending not to know, and walked closer in small steps, pinching little Grey's chubby face.

"Well, Sister Alicia..."

"No, you should call me Sister Alicia~?" Alicia was extremely serious, and she didn't seem to realize how shocking what she said was.

"Sister Alicia..."

Mebius slapped Alicia's hand away and said, "Don't teach little Grayshut bad things."

Alicia retracted her hand, looked at the back of her white and tender hand which had turned slightly red, and pouting.

Kevin and Qianjie helped Hen move his luggage into the courtyard. Hen slumped down on the sofa, tilted his head, and said, "I'm so tired. Please, anyone can get me a bottle of Coke."

Ying opened the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke and put it on the coffee table.

Hen took the Coke, opened the pull ring, took a big sip, and then he couldn't help but sighed, "I'm alive again."

Yaqing was holding little Grayshus. For some reason, he had a natural affinity for children. Whether they were the children in the Abonya Orphanage, Grayshus and Ling, or even the twenty-year-old Xiaoshi, they were all very close to him.

Unlike Hen who was exhausted, Blanca was still in good spirits. She took out the gifts she bought for everyone from the large suitcase and placed them on the coffee table.

"This is the clothes I bought specially for the Doctor. They're green dinosaur pajamas. Very cute, right?" Blanca took out the unopened clothes and handed them to Mebius.

The air was suddenly quiet.

Because Yaqing has the same dinosaur pajamas, and wears them all day long in the courtyard, everyone knows that Yaqing has a pair of dinosaur pajamas. Now Blanca has specially given the same pajamas to Mebius, so this is...

"What's wrong?" Blanca looked at everyone who was trying to hold back their laughter with a confused look on her face.

"Nothing. I like it very much." Mobius accepted the gift with a fake smile, and stepped hard on Yaqing where no one could see.

Little Grayshu was confused, not understanding why Grandma Mobius would suddenly step on Brother Yaqing.

"This is a gift for Mei, a necklace I bought in Paris." Blanca took out a small red box.

"I like it very much, Sister Blanca." Mei accepted the gift.

"This is for Kevin..."

Blanca distributed the gifts to everyone one by one. Since Eden was on a global tour, he could only make a video call and let Alicia receive the gifts on his behalf. Abonya had not returned to the courtyard yet.

"The last gift is for Yaqing." Blanca said with a smile.

"So there's also one for me. I thought Sister Blanca had forgotten about me because I haven't been back for so long." Yaqing joked.

"How could that be?" Blanca said angrily, taking out the tightly wrapped gift and saying with a smile, "This is a picture frame I bought in Paris. I heard it is a work of art. This painting was painted by little Grace herself."

The canvas is unfolded, and the copper-gold wooden frame makes people feel the ancient atmosphere at first glance. However, what attracts more attention is the ink painting in the frame. It is a man sitting and reading a book. The warm sunlight shines on him through the window, and combined with the fruits on the table, there is nothing wrong with either the color tone or the layout.

"It looks so beautiful." Sakura couldn't help but exclaim.

"Did little Grace draw this all by herself?" Ling couldn't even believe that this was little Grace's masterpiece, because little Grace would be entering junior high school next year, and she could already imagine that her elder sister would use little Grace to educate her.

"The painting is of Yaqing... right?" Kevin asked uncertainly.

"Brother Yaqing, does my drawing look like the real thing?" Little Grace, who had already left Yaqing's arms, raised her head and asked innocently.

Yaqing's fingers gently touched the texture of the Mosuo oil painting, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back to more than ten years ago. At that time, his sister would always take out photos of his father and mother, and one of them was extremely similar to this painting.

My sister told me that my father didn't like taking photos, so this is the only photo she took secretly, and it is also the only photo of my father left in the world. Yaqing can only look at the photo but has no memory of it.

His sister told him that this was his father, but why did he have no memory of him at all?

It turned out that he had never seen his father.

Therefore, when he was young and dependent on his sister, his sister held tightly the family photo without him.

"Dad said that we should take another family photo when the younger brother or sister is born, but why can't Dad do it..."

He didn't understand why his sister was crying, but he knew that the person in the photo was his relative, his father.

"Brother Yaqing..."

Grayshu's voice brought him back to his senses. Looking at the worried looks in everyone's eyes, he realized that tears were welling up in his eyes.

"Yaqing, are you okay?" Su said worriedly.

"I'm fine." Ya Qing smiled and wiped away her tears, rubbing little Grayxiu's soft hair, "Little Grayxiu, I'm touched. I like this gift very much. I will definitely hang it on the head of the bed and appreciate it day and night."

Yaqing picked up the picture frame carefully, as if afraid of damaging it.

Looking at Yaqing's leaving back, little Grace felt depressed. She could naturally feel the change in Yaqing's mood.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Little Grayshu, you did nothing wrong. Yaqing... must have thought of someone when he looked at this painting." Mobius squatted down and comforted Grayshu softly.

"There's something wrong with Yaqing." Kevin stopped teasing and said seriously, "He cried. I've never seen him cry before. Even when he broke his arm during the school sports meet, he didn't shed a single tear."

"Kevin, this is different from that time." As a doctor, Su had seen too many deaths and separations. He saw Yaqing's sadness and patted Kevin on the shoulder: "That time it was physical pain, this time it's psychological."

"Who of you will go and comfort him?" Mei said.

“I don’t know how to comfort people.” Qianjie was the first to refuse. He turned his back and prepared to leave, but then stopped and said without looking back: “Humph, I suddenly want to make dessert. If you want, send it to him.”

"Qianjie is really gentle~?" said Alicia.

"Hmph." Qianjie did not refute, or rather, he was too disdainful to refute.

"Then let the experts take over."

"Let Miss Fairy go and comfort him."

Wilwei and Alicia spoke at the same time.

But no one noticed that Mebius had disappeared into the living room.

Chapter 55: Drunken Snake

Mebius came to the door of Yaqing's bedroom, knocked, pushed the door open, and saw Yaqing standing on the bed, intending to hang the painting on the wall at the head of the bed.

Mebius leaned against the door and said, "You really plan to hang it on the wall. I thought you were just trying to cheer up little Grayxiu. It seems you really like this painting."

After fixing the picture frame for a while, Yaqing jumped off the bed, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and said, "Sister Blan is back. Why are you coming to my place instead of staying in the living room to chat about the past?"

Mebius walked into the room, skillfully sat on Yaqing's favorite gaming chair, and said leisurely, "I don't like crowds."

"Senior, from this point of view, we are the same kind of people." Yaqing took out a bottle of wine from the glass cabinet, and before opening the seal, he took out a wine glass from somewhere.

The purple-red wine kept shaking in the goblet.

"When did you become so elegant? You even have a glass of wine before going to bed." Mebius looked at Yaqing strangely. She remembered that although the cabinet was a refrigerator, it seemed to have always stored snacks and cola.

"I'm used to it. It's something I developed in Northern Europe. President Otto has been supervising my etiquette learning, and I don't want those old guys to find any points to attack me." Yaqing has never been afraid of the board of directors, but he would also be annoyed if a group of mosquitoes buzzed around him.

"It sounds like there is serious competition within Tianming?"

"How should I explain it to you?" Yaqing put the wine on the table and took out two wine glasses and some small wine glasses.

"For example, this bottle of wine represents President Otto, who has absolute leadership in the Tianming Group. He can pour the wine, which represents power, into the glass at will." Yaqing poured the wine into the goblet.

"And these three goblets belong to the Kaslana family, the Shaniat family, and Theresa Apokalis. They hold a great weight in destiny, and the wine poured into them is more than these small goblets."

"These small glasses are the board of directors. A single glass of wine is very little, but when they come together, they may share the wine in the high-heeled glasses."

"got it?"

Yaqing explained the internal struggle of Tianming in a very vivid way.

"So, the board of directors has its eyes on you? Is there no one in Shaniyat to help you?" Mebius curiously picked up the wine and poured himself a glass. He smelled the fragrance of the grapes, took a sip, and choked.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yaqing handed over a piece of tissue paper and said, "Those old guys in Shanyati hate me enough. They think I stole my parents' assets. How could they help me?"

For Yaqing, wine was just a drink, but Mebius' cheeks turned red after taking a sip of the wine.

"Ha, you're drunk already?" Ya Qing couldn't help laughing. Looking at Mobius who already had snot bubbles, he silently took out his phone and took a photo.

"Senior Mobius? Senior?" Ya Qing shook Mobius' body, but Mobius, who had already fallen asleep, just curled up in the gaming chair and turned over.

"Don't bother me..." Mobius, who was drunk and asleep, had a completely different temperament from when he was sober. He looked as cute as a girl next door as he muttered to himself.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep here." Yaqing spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.

"I don't want it..." Mebius turned his head, his cheeks flushed, his smile innocent, and he opened his arms, "Hug."

"Senior, men and women should not touch each other." Yaqing refused.

Upon hearing Yaqing's refusal, the drunk Mobius actually looked at Yaqing aggrievedly, as if saying, "If you don't hug me, I will cry in front of you."

"I've really lost my mind. Bring out the wine. If you touch a drop of it again, I'll... forget it." Ya Qing held Mebius's legs and picked up the princess.

The drunk Mobius no longer had his usual tough talk and wanted to curl up in Yaqing's arms.

Yaqing didn't notice that the bedroom door was pushed open a little at some point.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd."

"Oh, let me see."

"I didn't expect that a drunk Dr. Mobius would be so cute~, it would be even better if she wore the little skirt I gave her?~"

"Sister, don't squeeze me!"
