Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

"Well, I need to rest for a while." Fu Hua responded after a moment's hesitation.

Then Timido withdrew from her legs. The little girl turned around and left the room without staying. Her straightforward appearance made Fu Hua begin to wonder what she was doing from time to time. Her eyes caught the joy on that cute face, and it was exactly as she imagined.

"Then I'll go downstairs to have breakfast first." Timido closed the door.

Fu Hua closed her eyes and prepared to begin consolidating her heart.

"I can't call my sister, you go yourself." Timido said to the boy seriously. She ran behind him and pushed his back. "Go, skipping breakfast is very harmful to your body."

Let herself go in person? Shen Yunie felt that Fu Hua would not say such a thing with her personality. If she came down, she would come down. If she didn't come down, it meant she had something to do. Her shy personality was not like that of a senior, but she did not rule out the slight possibility.

Anyway, the sight of Timido eating breakfast while sitting at her seat did not make him suspicious. He turned around and walked up the stairs towards the senior's room, just let her call him in person.

The girl's heart slowly began to freeze, and her bad temper and mood had dissipated. Fu Hua had no other emotions to express, so she was left with indifference. As the ice on both sides was about to touch each other, the same thing happened again.

The sound of the door caused a crack in the girl's heart, which was about to solidify. This time the sound was not as loud as last time so it did not break completely.

Fu Hua opened her eyes, her holy blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight, and a helpless look flashed across her pretty face, which was also her unburned emotion, "Timido, what's the matter again?"

Shen Yunie looked at the flushed cheeks, as if a fairy from the mortal world was stained with the breath of fireworks, and the helpless look was also very beautiful. He felt that regardless of whether Timido lied to him or not, coming here this time was the right choice. He raised the corners of his lips, "Senior sister, go downstairs and have breakfast. Timido said that he couldn't get you to come, so he asked me to come here specially."

The girl was startled and turned her head slightly stiffly to face the smiling face. Fu Hua did not find any anger on the other person's face, so he was no longer angry? But Timido said that being angry or not was different from apologizing or not.

It is easiest to open your mouth and apologize, but when Fu Hua really wants to do it, she feels that it is much more difficult than rescuing someone from the enemy camp. As a girl whose emotions have been mostly wiped out, she finds it difficult to deal with these emotional matters.

So much so that his lips moved and he could only utter one word in the end, "Okay."

As for the frozen lake in her heart, Fu Hua didn't care much about it after suppressing all the bad emotions.

Seeing her sister really come down, Timido, who was slowly eating breakfast, immediately smiled happily. Great success! It was also very simple to apologize when the two were alone. Brother Yu Nie was such a good person, probably just a few words would be enough.

The little girl felt that she had won back a city for her sister Fu Hua in the love field. While Shen Yunie was walking to the kitchen, she came to Fu Hua and asked, "Sister, have you apologized? He should have accepted it naturally, right?"

But Fu Hua's words poured cold water on her, "No."

"Ah... but that was clearly a good opportunity." Timido's face was filled with disappointment, and she couldn't understand why she failed. Then, as Fu Hua picked up the bacon and fed it to her, the little girl's disappointment instantly dissipated. Her mouth was full of food, and she looked like she had regained her motivation. "It doesn't matter, there is still a chance. It's easy to get Brother Yunie's forgiveness."

Seeing the little girl worrying about her, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel puzzled. No matter what she did, she would not be able to affect Shen Yunie's kindness to her.

"How do you know? Why are you in such a hurry for us to reconcile?"

"There are many reasons...but the most important reason is that you and Brother Yune are a perfect match. And from now on, you two can come to see me together. If Brother is taken away, I might only be able to see you, Sister."

After all, it was probably because of me. Fu Hua was unmoved by what the little girl said about their perfect match. She was not a girl who had just begun to fall in love, and Shen Yunie was naturally not a pure boy. The experience in Changkong City and the miko girl in the academy had long proved that the boy had been moved.

It was basically impossible for the two of them to be together. But seeing the serious look of the little girl, she didn't want to continue to pour cold water on her. After weighing the pros and cons, she just treated it as playing a game with her.

"Sister, you guys are going to the street today, I want to go with you!"

"Ah."

Because it was an exploratory mission and there was no danger involved, Shen Yunie and Fu Hua were happy to bring Timido along. It was just like a normal stroll through the streets. From morning to afternoon, they could tell the difference between the anti-entropy soldiers and ordinary people. Unless they had never experienced anything, there would definitely be a difference.

231. Timido will not be bribed

"Do you want to eat?" Yulandel's blue eyes were bright, revealing a look of love. She looked at the little girl in front of her as if she were looking at a small animal. In her heart, she felt the same way. Timido, wearing a furry hamster hood, looked like a cute little hamster.

She likes cute things very much, no matter if they are objects or people. In addition, this is a little girl picked up by her brother. The combination of these two emotions of liking her has reached the point where she can no longer control herself.

Cute little hamsters... If I get a kitten in the future, will they fight? As long as they are well fed, they won't be tempted by the hamster. In that case, I can't get a ginger cat. A ginger cat is a bit greedy and will still want to eat even if it becomes fat.

No, no, the thing in front of me is a little girl, not a hamster!

Yulandel felt ashamed that she had thought of the lovely Timido as a hamster. When the girl was in a trance and suddenly smiled, Timido frowned in confusion. This adult in front of him was so strange. Did he think that he was really a greedy mouse that would be lured by food and fall into a trap?

She would never be tempted, she still had to help Sister Fu Hua!

The little girl took one last look at the matcha cake and turned her head away. As long as she didn't look at it, she wouldn't be attracted to it. But she obviously ignored the fact that the cake would emit a fragrance. As the lingering fragrance came, Timido's originally firm idea began to waver.

She wanted to bribe me with delicious food, but she didn't say that I would be bribed if I ate it! In that case, I could just eat it and not be bribed.

The little girl still couldn't resist the cake that exuded a sense of happiness. She moved her body, turned her head and quickly took a bite of the cake. Her rosy face was stained with a little matcha green.

Yulandel, who had already gotten rid of her strange thoughts, fell in love with the scene in front of her again. The little animals were far less cute than Timido! She wanted to raise a child, but where could she find one like Timido?

The girl smiled innocently and used a napkin to wipe the cream off the little girl's face. After doing this, Timido turned around and quickly fled from here.

"Hey, don't go, there's still cake!"

Timido had already run to hide behind Fu Hua. She hid behind the bench where her sister was sitting. As long as she hid, she would no longer want to eat cake. She said with a vigilant tone: "Sister, Youlan Daier wants to bribe me."

"So you were bribed by her?" Fu Hua didn't know the little girl's concept of eating and not being bribed. She just thought that Timido's appearance of eating cake was cute. This little girl had made their mission about the Herrscher less depressing.

"My heart still belongs to Sister Fu Hua!"

"Then when she brings the cake over later, will you still eat it?"

"Eating... Eating is different from being bribed. Even if I eat, I will still side with my sister."

Fu Hua raised the corner of her mouth because of this. Seeing Yulandel running towards her in a hurry, she wanted to feed Timido, but the little girl hid herself to show her determination in front of her sister and never came out again.

The incident of scaring the little girl away made Yulandel begin to doubt her own charm.

"I'll give it to her." Fu Hua nodded slightly and took the piece of cake that had been bitten. She could clearly feel the little hand on her back tightening its grip a little, and it was obviously happy with her action.

"I didn't expect to meet Fu Hua like this." Yulandel sat down next to the two of them. She put her hand on Timido's slightly curly and fluffy hair. She thought she looked so cute. "I didn't expect that the first mission to become an S-rank would have such a leisurely start."

The girl stretched her body with a comfortable look, showing her perfect curves, her slender waist flashing a hint of whiteness, and her long, moist and well-proportioned legs stretched tight under the chiffon skirt. Under her high golden ponytail, her clear blue eyes quickly swept across the entire mall. This was a safe place.

They were dressed like some young girls who came to the mall to shop.

"We walked here from the south side of the industrial zone. Timido said she came here to rest because she was tired." Fu Hua explained, touching the little girl's face with her fingertips. Timido finally stopped hiding and sat down beside her.

Seeing the two of them, Youlandel looked around curiously but didn't find the third figure. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, but before she could ask, she had already looked in the direction Fu Hua's gaze was pointing. The boy looked at several stores thoughtfully and finally walked into one of them.

"A souvenir knife shop?" Yulandel was very surprised that her brother walked into that shop. Although it was a souvenir, it was obvious that neither the senior nor Timido was interested in knives. She retracted her gaze and turned to look at the senior, "Who did he buy it for?"

"Friend, a special friend." Fu Hua said lightly. She naturally knew who the boy was buying it for. The spiritual sword that was supposed to be used by the witch had become a great help in his battle. The person who could be entrusted with the sword by the samurai was obviously an extremely important person.

Just like the person she is willing to believe in and entrust her ideals and back to.

"Girls?"

Fu Hua did not answer this question, which was considered as a tacit agreement. After a while, she opened her lips and said, "If you care, why not go to Saint Freya to see it yourself."

Timido, who was sitting next to them, didn't pay attention to the conversation. What the two sisters said was a little hazy. The little girl focused on the matcha cake. Fu Hua held it in front of her eyes very considerately. She ate it in small bites, and the cream didn't get on her face anymore.

Youlan Daier blinked and thought seriously about her brother's special friend. Could it be a role similar to a sister-in-law? She felt that she should go to Saint Freya to take a look. She secretly decided in her heart that when she was on vacation, she would choose the Far East as the location.

Would she have a sister-in-law? The girl had never thought about it.

In the women's clothing store, Rita saw the boy thoughtfully walking past those clothes, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Student Shen, I didn't expect you have the habit of shopping for women's clothing. Do you need me to recommend it to you?"

The clothes were naturally bought by Shen Yunie for someone else. He turned around and looked when he heard the voice. She was still wearing the dark red long skirt that showed her charm to the fullest. At this time, Rita was holding a black half-hollow bra in her hand. The curve under the lace fabric was neither too big nor too small. Just by looking at it, you could tell that it was not something to be worn on ordinary occasions.

Rita also noticed that the boy's gaze was directed in the wrong place. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she immediately put it back to its original position, and her wine-red pupils glanced away as if nothing had happened before.

She was thinking of buying it for Youlan Daier, whose body was still developing, and whose temperament was still immature as she continued to mature. If she could wear that dress, her face would be red as blood, and her hands clenched tightly and nervously would definitely be the most beautiful sight in the world.

It seems that her little habit has been discovered? Rita began to think about whether to seal the boy's mouth. When she saw a faint smile on his face, her eyes suddenly emitted a dangerous red light.

"I didn't see it." Shen Yunie tactfully calmed down the corners of her mouth that had been raised. "Teacher didn't expect you to be here. I'm going to buy some wine for Sister Ji Zi. I'm leaving now."

He didn't like Ji Zi drinking, but Ji Zi liked wine the most, so he simply bought some for her and waited for her to watch after returning, and asked her to drink less. After all, they were on a mission, not traveling, otherwise Shen Yunie would have plenty of time to prepare thoughtful gifts. Now he finally had time, so he had the opportunity to buy some gifts for them.

If the mission is extremely dangerous or takes you to a deserted place, it is normal not to be able to buy gifts.

Rita stared at him, the danger in his eyes gradually dissipated. The boy's quick reaction and tactful performance made her feel happy. She couldn't help but raise her lips, "Goodbye, classmate Shen~"

They were originally going to buy clothes for Leah, but after walking around for a while they still couldn't find anything she liked, so they simply gave up. Shen Yunie was about to leave when she looked at the hollow-out bra and suddenly said, "I want to buy that one!"

"Sister Leah, you can't wear that dress normally." Hearing this, the young man slowed down his pace and said hesitantly. Not to mention that Rita is still here, even if she is not here, Shen Yunie would be embarrassed to ask the salesperson to pack up clothes of this style.

"Then I won't wear it, I'll just buy it for collection." Leah seemed very determined. She simply appeared from the space and walked to the bra without leaving. The special design was something she had never seen before. She thought it was beautiful, and some strange thoughts in her mind made her face blush slightly. "Buy it back for Ying to wear!"

Anyway, she won't leave unless you buy it.

After going to the men's clothing store next door and staying for a while until Rita left, Shen Yunie called the salesperson to come and pack the set of clothes. The saleslady felt strange and wanted to confirm that the handsome boy in front of her really wanted to buy such clothes.

Shen Yunie didn't repeat it a second time, he just left the money and address and left quickly. He didn't find his two teammates until his face and mood calmed down.

The fact that everyone met here indicated that there was something wrong with the route. With the purpose of finding the person who reversed entropy, Shen Yunie decided to walk in the opposite direction with Fu Hua. Timido walked in the middle, and the two of them were on her left and right. If they were not so young, they would give people the feeling of a family of three. Now it was more like an older brother and sister with a younger sister.

Timido, who was walking in the middle, pursed her lips, with an expression of surviving a disaster on her face. She felt that Yulandel's bribery was really terrible. When they were about to separate, she kept touching her head and asked her what she wanted to eat so that he would bring it back for her.

This was obviously an attempt to bribe her by showing goodwill, but Timido, who was devoted to Fu Hua, would not waver, and she had not forgotten what she wanted to do. It was just her longing for the matcha cake that betrayed her, but even if Yulan Daier bought it back, she would not waver!

Timido wanted to find time for her sister to be alone with her brother. Since she was not ready to apologize, she would keep looking for time. Sooner or later, her sister would understand and apologize to her brother naturally.

"Where are we going next?" The little girl looked around. There were high walls and wires on both sides of the street, and there were various factories and warehouses inside. It was very quiet here, and she could find a chance to hide. Soon her idea was shattered, and Fu Hua took the initiative to hold her hand.

"We are going to walk through this abandoned industrial area. There are many streets here. Remember not to walk around randomly."

There were no shops around, much more desolate than the previous commercial street. Timido couldn't help but feel a little bored because she couldn't hide. Her sister was concerned about her. If she really got lost here, it would be difficult to find her. There were dozens of roads exactly like this street, like a maze.

The little girl's watery eyes began to look up at the blue sky out of boredom, and then her eyes moved downwards, and a hazy outline in the distance attracted her attention. It was a huge Ferris wheel far away outside the industrial zone, and reaching there meant leaving the industrial zone completely.

Then a new idea came to Timido's mind. Since the shopping mall didn't work, then a Ferris wheel that could only accommodate two people should be fine. The little girl herself had never ridden a Ferris wheel, but in the TV dramas her mother watched, the male and female protagonists always fell in love on that wheel.

There was no one watching, the space was small, and there were only floating clouds and the warm sun around them. It was undoubtedly a holy place for two people to be alone.

She pointed to the vague outline in the distance and suggested, "Let's go to the Ferris wheel!"

Hearing this unreasonable proposal, Fu Hua lowered her eyelashes, and the little girl in her sight did not dare to look at her because of her guilty conscience. Sure enough, she was looking for an opportunity for herself. Since the three of them left home, she keenly discovered that Timido was always looking for places with few people and a quiet atmosphere.

She hoped that she could seize the opportunity to apologize, even if she apologized or not, her relationship with Shen Yunie would be as peaceful as usual. Timido insisted on admitting her mistakes and apologizing seriously. She had wasted many opportunities in this mission.

Whenever Fu Hua wanted to speak, she couldn't utter a word. She didn't know what to say or what emotion to use. She felt really ashamed of the opportunity that Timido had found for her.

Feeling like she was being watched, she raised her head and received the boy's questioning gaze. After a few seconds of silence, she said calmly, "Well, let's go then."

Go ahead, maybe you’ll figure out what to say somewhere else.

Lion City’s industry was paralyzed by the sudden outbreak of the disease. Although it is no longer as contagious as it was at the beginning, it still caused many companies to fall into decline and never get back on their feet. Therefore, many factories here are abandoned, waiting for the day when they will be collectively demolished.

The silent streets and the desolate scene made the sky look gray. Timido, who always had a smile on her face, was able to dissolve the quiet atmosphere. Shen Yunie and Fu Hua accompanied her, and their calm expressions froze for a moment.

The Honkai energy was so weak that it disappeared in an instant, which made the alarm bells ring in the minds of the two people. Shen Yunie and Fu Hua concentrated their perception to search for the dissipated Honkai energy. Finally, the two of them locked their eyes on the iron fence beside them. The only things that appeared in such a place were dead men and Honkai beasts. The fact that they could be discovered by the two of them showed that the Honkai energy was definitely not weak.

Fu Hua let go of Timido's hand and subconsciously prepared to jump over the several-meter-high wall, but the boy next to her had already taken a step ahead of her.

"I'll go. Senior, take good care of Timido." In just a moment, Shen Yunie's figure disappeared from their sight, leaving only the sound of footsteps moving away after landing.

The superman-like action made the little girl rub her eyes to make sure that it was really her brother who did it just now, and then she looked at Fu Hua beside her in a daze.

232. Difficult rescue

Shen Yunie was running on the barren ground between the towering steel instruments. It was not surprising that the Honkai beast was born here. The concentration of Honkai energy in Lion City had reached a certain point, but it did not mean that it was the same everywhere. There would always be places with a higher concentration.

If the spawned Honkai beasts were not attacked, it would be easy for the tank-level beasts to destroy most of the city. The pistol bullets would not even cause an itch on their bodies. Only bombs or something like that could break through the defenses, but by the time people discovered it, many people might have already died.

Not showing Honkai to ordinary people is the first lesson every Honkai user learns.

Catching the tiny Honkai energy, Leah felt the fluctuations become more intense, as if it was hunting. She soon realized that a Honkai beast was chasing humans, "There are still people."

The surrounding metal buildings seemed like a metal forest. The unpleasant smell of mechanical gasoline filled the air. Breathing too much of this gas would make people dizzy. Even a Honkai user like Shen Yunie only had a higher resistance. In essence, he was still a human being. If he stayed there for too long, he would suffer the same consequences as an ordinary person.

"We have to hurry up." Shen Yunie frowned and began to slow down his breathing. He was also forced to slow down his speed. He thought that this exploration mission would not be too dangerous, so he did not bring any equipment, and he could not even isolate the gas at this time.

There was only the whistling of the wind in the boy's ears. The thick gasoline left bluish-brown marks on his face. He seemed to be lost in the forest of steel. His Honkai energy was too weak.

The scene before him made Shen Yunie slow down his pace for a few seconds, and then he speeded up without hesitation. A large amount of steel was gathered together with only a tiny gap left, which seemed to allow only a person to pass through lying flat, but this gap was only tens of meters above the sky.

He hesitated because such a difficult place was almost impossible to pass, and he sped up because he had no extra time to find a way out.

The boy's body left a vague afterimage in the diffuse green mist. He did not slow down when he was less than ten meters away from the steel wall. He suddenly jumped up when he was about to get close to the wall. With his hands pressed tightly against his sides, he used inertia to pass through the tiny gap without stopping.

What happened next made Shen Yunie look stunned. Behind the high steel wall was a huge bottomless pit. There was no point around him that he could grab onto. Restricted by gravity, his body fell straight into the abyss-like pit.

Deep in this steel forest, a chase was going on. The girl staggered on the road, her nostrils filled with light green gas. The smell of paint almost corroded her brain. She was already a little dazed, and gradually forgot why she was running away and what was chasing her.

Her torn skirt swayed, and her knees were dark red and dirty, which was caused by her falling while fleeing. In her blurred consciousness, even the pain was suppressed.

"Boom boom——"

The sound of the steel collapsing behind her made the girl's consciousness sober up instantly. She understood that she was being chased by a monster and if she stopped, she would be eaten by it, so she absolutely could not stop and had to escape to a safe place.

But her knees hurt so much... Her body was gradually losing strength, and she didn't want to run any further. With her brain extremely deprived of oxygen, the girl couldn't even remember what the monster looked like. Maybe she had imagined it.

When she was in school, she liked to stare at the sky and imagine all kinds of fantastic things happening before her eyes.

"I can't run anymore..." The girl let out a long breath. After the roaring sound in her ears faded away, she had no strength to move forward and fell to the ground. She touched her knees with trembling hands, trying to remove the gravel in the wound, but the gray eyes were like covered with a veil and could not be seen clearly.

The face was pale, tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes. She just wanted to find a quiet place to sketch. What had she been through? In the toxic gas, the girl's spirit was increasingly depressed, until she collapsed to the ground, gasping for air with her mouth open, unable to breathe a single breath, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
