Collapse, before and after civilization, I am the only one C

"..."

The corner of Lark's mouth twitched, but he didn't ask any more questions. Just as he returned to his independent office, April called.

"Why, asking for leave?"

Since nothing happened, it doesn’t matter, the lark thought in a businesslike manner.

"Not only that, Senior Lark, I need you, I need the help of everyone in the Poison Pupa."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little helpless. Lark was just about to ask what was going on when he suddenly remembered what Cang Xuan had just said.

"Looking through the garbage?"

Probably not. After all, April wouldn't be so tasteless. Besides, these precious things... apart from their commemorative value, what else is there worth him doing this for?

As for the commemorative value, he and Alicia are still alive. If it were so precious, they would not have been thrown away yesterday.

"……Um."

But that boy is so bold! Lark felt that the person on the other end of the phone was not Xiao Siyue, but the former boss who had just taken office and asked Du Pupa to help his sister clear her reputation.

How dare he say that?

"Senior Lark...I need your help."

"roll!"

After the call was hung up, April stood alone in front of the garbage truck, at a loss, holding her head in despair.

He didn't want to translate it! It was just a purple entry...

Yes, it’s just a purple entry.

You should know that the previous purple entry was battle continuation!

Even though his internal organs were shattered by the shock of the void law of space and time, he was able to survive and use the skills of Taixu Sword God.

【Oh, please beg me. 】

"Senior Lark, why are you here?"

At the faucet nearby, April was washing his hands and arms numbly. When he saw Senior Lark, he was a little surprised.

But it’s really good, because it is produced by the system, in Xiao Ai’s view, the jade pendant has a mark.

He felt that he was a pragmatic person. If it weren't for Xiao Ai, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Aren't you going to help?"

The lark looked at the jade pendant soaking in the pool and felt a little relieved. As long as she found it, she was glad to come here. After all, she was not very willing to come here.

"...Actually, you don't have to come. I thought about it again and felt that this kind of thing is a bit difficult." After a slight pause, April was a little touched.

Senior Lark, she really made me cry.

"It's not like I haven't rummaged through garbage dumps before. Why haven't you done that before?"

The lark originally wanted to move closer, but after getting closer, it moved away a little without making a sound. It had overestimated itself. It had not lived a poor life for too long, and the smell was really unpleasant.

April continued to be stupid.

Have you ever looked for it? Really not… In poor places, there is nothing in the trash cans. It is not a very poor place. With the advantage of being a child and having a sweet mouth, he will not starve to death.

"Wait, wait! What's that expression on your face? Didn't you ever rummage through trash cans for food as a kid?"

The lark's expression was a little distorted. No, they are all homeless people. What gives you the right to do that?

"…Um, just curious, was there really food in the trash can where we stayed before?"

I don't mean any other thing, I'm just asking. After all, he also rummaged through the trash can today, so don't laugh at anyone.

"What if there is?"

The lark asked in return, life has become like that, why should we care about the possibilities when we have to seize every opportunity?

April didn't ask any more questions. She felt that the senior's expression was not very good, as if he wanted to hit someone.

"By the way, Senior, I probably won't go to the Poison Pupa today. I want to stay at home and coax someone."

After all, Senior Lark hung up the phone too quickly, and he didn't have time to talk about this matter.

"Don't be upset with Alicia. She's easy to please."

Besides, if you really have a quarrel, I guess few people will stand on your side, Lark recalled the other party's interpersonal relationships and nodded.

"……Um."

He almost never gets angry on his own initiative. April wanted to say something, but seeing that Senior Lark was about to come over to help, she nodded obediently.

Speaking of which, Alicia always felt that it didn't matter how good the relationship between the same sex was, but when April saw the lark at work every day, she felt that there was a big problem.

What’s worse is that there is another Eden... The good news is that for some reason, Velvi didn’t appear around Alicia, otherwise there would be one more.

Then the question arises again, can a piece of candy, an orange, or a childhood encounter really earn you a beautiful girl's lifelong admiration?

April silently made note of this matter, hoping that it could be useful somewhere.

"By the way, what happened to you guys yesterday that made you so angry? I have never seen you angry before."

Although I like Alicia, I don't hate Little April either. I can't be too partial to one person.

If only we could have monogamy...

Oh, forget it, why think so much? The lark stopped his wild imagination after a moment of delusion.

"It was Alicia's birthday yesterday. I made her a birthday cake, but she went out to have dinner with her friends."

April took out the jade pendant that had been soaking for a long time and cleaned the dirt on it.

Lark: ...

Blame her for being too talkative. Why did she ask this question? However, she did understand why Xiao Siyue suddenly wanted to exercise yesterday. Was she in a bad mood?

"Actually, this can't be blamed on Alicia. After all, she didn't know about this."

That should be the case. How can one control emotions perfectly? No one is perfect, so how can one not make mistakes?

"I ate the cake by myself and cleaned up the room. I thought I did a good job, but Alicia still found out about it."

April cleaned the jade pendant and then placed it on a table nearby.

Lark: ...

"Wait, wait! You're not angry and you tidied the room?"

Don't be so ridiculous. Is this something a normal person would do? You really don't consider yourself a human being!

"But she said that her sense of smell is quite sensitive, so even if I opened the window, the smell remained."

Lark felt that her brain was not enough. To be honest, she was an orphan who had climbed to this position. Excluding her personality, she felt that her IQ had always been good.

but

"Then why are you guys quarreling?"

No, isn’t this good? The boy cares about the girl, and the girl understands it all.

"She said sorry, I said it was okay, and then she blamed me for not having a good temper..."

April shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

Thinking about it now, April still couldn't understand Alicia's thoughts. What was wrong with being a gentle person?

Lark: ...

Wait, wait, I don’t quite understand.

"and then?"

"Then I found a reason. She disliked me for seeing things too clearly and always being clear and organized. She also said that I didn't want her anymore."

After finishing the work, April shook the water off her hands and looked at the old sister Lark helplessly.

Lark is not young. She is four or five years older than Alicia and is about to turn 30. But in a sense, she has just entered a new stage.

"..."

"Ha, ha, ha, just pretend I didn't ask anything."

Everyone has their own judgment. Lark can't just go against his conscience and say, even if Alicia is 99% wrong, shouldn't you reflect on why Alicia thinks that way?

I originally thought it was just a difference of opinion among the young people, but it turned out... it was just a fucking commotion!

"It's actually my problem. The straw that breaks the camel's back is never the last straw."

"It was a long-standing problem that exploded last night. In some ways, it's a good thing because I don't have to worry about it in the future."

Senior Lark was on Alicia's side anyway, so there was no need to say bad things about her. As for complaining? There was no need for that either.

In fact, April's interpersonal relationships are very tragic, because he depends on Alicia for his existence in this life, which means that most of the people he knows were known by Alicia first.

Of course, things were different after he became an adult. He gradually became independent and got to know a lot of people, such as... Klein, Cang Xuan, and Dan Zhu.

Lark: ...

Ah, there's no need for you to say that. It makes me uncomfortable.

"Is Alicia still angry?"

After a long silence, Lark asked this question, not because he cared about Alicia, but mainly because he wanted to comfort little April through the follow-up topic.

Alas, as the oldest sister, it is really not easy for me.

"I'm still angry, but I'm almost done with it."

Speaking of this, her expression became relaxed. There is no Alicia who cannot be coaxed by April!

"Don't worry about her. You should be happy too. Why are you worse now than when you were a kid? When you were a kid, you could still bully Alicia."

"Because... there's no reason. I just don't want to bully her."

And he was indeed a bit of a coward. After Alicia used the Flawless Dome at the age of thirteen, he understood that people are different.

The pinnacle of my life might just be the enlightenment that Aliza had when she was thirteen years old.

Of course, this is different. After all, he is also cheating and is confident that he can surpass Alicia.

"Stay home for a few more days. Just think of me as taking care of your younger brothers and sisters."

I thought about going over and rubbing the other person's head, but to no avail. I still couldn't get past the nose. If it was a mission, it would be fine, but there's really no need to put myself in such a difficult position in normal times.

"Well, I'll treat you to wedding candy later, Senior Lark."

After cleaning up the stains on her body, April decided not to stay here for long and went home. Otherwise, who knows what messy thoughts Alicia would have today.

"Well, it's agreed...???"

Raising her head somewhat stiffly, Lark looked in the direction the other person had left. Was she hallucinating just now?

"April, stop right there. What were you eating just now?"

There was no response. April had already gone far away, leaving the white-haired elder sister, whose fantasy was completely shattered, standing there confused.

Her monogamy ended before it even began...

Forget it, it was just a fantasy, but has the other party finally reached this point?

Looking at the sky, I saw that the lark had not returned to the poisonous pupa, so I prepared to find a place to eat something first.

…………

"You actually went to empty the trash can... That's really cool."

How cruel! He actually rummaged through the trash can just for a jade pendant. It seemed like Xiao Yuan really cared about that jade pendant.

"Luckily, it didn't break."

After throwing the cleaned jade pendant to Alicia, April didn't say anything and ran straight to the bathroom. Only when he was alone did his expression become a little distorted. Why did he still get the smell even though he didn't turn it over much?
