Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

There are many people who come to Taixu Town for tourism, but few actually live here. Only two months ago, two newcomers, Shen Ning and Wendy, moved in. However, recently the two girls went on a business trip to the next city because of copyright issues related to publishing paintings, so Shen Yunie could not see them for the time being.

After getting a new life, the two quickly adapted to the environment here. Shen Ning followed the Orange sisters to practice martial arts to keep fit, while Wendy really became a painter and began to pursue her original dream.

The Tachibana sisters have completely integrated into this place, and all the natives are very familiar with them. Tachibana Yuki takes the two of them to walk on the bluestone road, occasionally greeting people passing by nearby.

Most of the people living here are middle-aged. After the aunts greeted them, their eyes fell on the young man following behind them, and their smiles became even bigger. "Youxi finally brought her boyfriend back? If Master Nangong knew, he would probably be even more relieved."

Tachibana Yuki lowered her head, her tone full of dissatisfaction and regret, "Auntie, he's not that person, he's just a friend passing by on a business trip."

Her eyes fell on Shen Yunie, and she realized that the boy was staring at the empty space beside him, and occasionally smiled to himself. Ju Youxi frowned, "Shen Yunie, what are you looking at? Could it be that people in the collapsed world can see things that we can't see?"

Shen Yunie was looking at Leah. There was a raised road paved with pebbles on the side of the road. When stepping on it, the acupoints on the soles of the feet would be stimulated and it would feel very painful. It was also a good practice for health.

Leah was full of curiosity. She took off her shoes and walked barefoot on it. She immediately frowned in pain. This exciting activity made Leah's eyes light up immediately. So she frowned in pain and slowly stepped back and forth on it. Her body was swaying. Shen Yunie was afraid that she would fall and almost walked over. In the end, she steadied herself and looked up at the boy with a smile.

"I heard that stimulating the feet can help prolong certain activities. Do you want to try it?"

"Hmm? I don't need help." Shen Yunie raised his eyebrows. He really didn't need help, but this sentence made him want to walk over. It seemed a bit strange. After all, no one could see Leah. It would be better if there was no one around.

Leia's face turned red in the dim light. She stuck out her tongue at him, lowered her eyes and continued walking.

"Hello, Knight Shen, Student Shen?"

The white hand waved in front of her eyes, and Shen Yunie came back to her senses and looked at Ju Youxi in confusion. The girl held her forehead and asked helplessly: "What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything, I just thought of my lover." Shen Yunie raised the corner of his mouth and responded to her lightly.

Seeing this reminds me of my lover? Ju You looked at the cobblestone ground and suddenly felt puzzled.

Most of the buildings in the town were built in ancient style. Several mannequins wearing Hanfu were placed on the wide road. The proprietress was a rare woman in her twenties. She was wearing a bright red Hanfu and waved the round fan in her hand when she saw Yuki from a distance.

She walked up to the three of them and said with a bright smile, "Yuki, Hinata. I just bought some new chiffon styles. Do you have time to help me try them out? You two beautiful models."

"Now?" Ju Yuxi looked back at Shen Yunie, whose eyes were wandering. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I have a friend today. I'll take him back to the martial arts gym first."

The woman stretched her head and looked at the boy behind her. Her eyes brightened and she asked in a low voice, "So handsome, boyfriend? He looks like a good clothes hanger. There are couple outfits too!"

"No." Tachibana Yuki answered a little numbly. She said helplessly, "Lin Jiang, he has a girlfriend, don't say anything nonsense. Go ask him if he wants to try."

"He has a girlfriend, what a pity." Lin Jiang showed a regretful expression. She naturally didn't intend to let go of such a good-looking Shenzhou boy. So she approached carefully and said, "My friend Youxi, would you like to try the Hanfu in our store? They are all designed by designers."

Shen Yunie turned around. He didn't hear the conversation between the two, so he was a little unfamiliar with the woman in front of him, but he could hear what the other person said clearly.

Before he could answer, Leah pushed his back and said, "Go ahead and try."

"Okay, then I'll try it." Shen Yunie nodded and agreed.

Lin Jiang's store is full of models wearing Hanfu. She sells everything related to Hanfu elements, and what she says is true. Every piece of clothing is designed by a designer, and there are no identical styles. But at first glance, putting it on makes people feel as if they are in another world, back in time.

"Try this one?" Lin Jiang pushed the mannequin over. It was a black and red suit, the uniform of the Jinyiwei in the TV series. "It will definitely look good on you."

Shen Yunie looked at it and shook his head. It didn't quite suit his taste. In terms of clothes, the sisters of the Tachibana family also became interested. Hinata walked to a set of blue-white gentleman's clothes and said, "Brother, how about this?"

Shen Yunie still shook his head. Ju Youxi looked at him and seemed a little picky. He asked in confusion: "Student Shen, you are so picky. Are you planning to wear a python robe or a dragon robe?"

"In ancient times, wearing it without permission would result in death." Shen Yunie laughed at her words. He also searched the store, but still couldn't find anything that suited his taste.

My eyes passed through most of the store and finally fell on two male and female mannequins in the back. They were wearing white and gold Hanfu, a color that was very rare and inappropriate in both ancient times and in reality. It basically only appeared in TV dramas.

At this moment, he was locked in by Shen Yunie's gaze. He nodded, stood up and walked directly in that direction. "Let's go with that set. I think it's pretty good."

"Couple outfits?" Lin Jiang paused, then quickly followed, "That's fine, but that outfit mainly highlights the girl, and it's a bit of a foil for the boy, so it might not look that good when worn."

In comparison, the recommendations of the three of them were better. But Shen Yunie said nonchalantly: "It's okay, let's just leave it like this."

He leaned in closer and looked at the female Hanfu in an appreciative manner, "Sister Leah, this dress will look good on you."

Leah narrowed her eyes slightly, thought about it and said, "It seems that white and gold are quite compatible."

But she had no way to try it now. After Lin Jiang came over, he just took off the men's suit and told Shen Yunie how to wear it. There were no male clerks in the store, so she could only go to the fitting room to change by herself.

Shen Yunie walked into the fitting room, and Liya was standing opposite him, with no intention of coming in. He simply reached out and pulled her into the fitting room, and then closed the door.

Outside the fitting room, Lin Jiang turned around and sat on the sofa in confusion, "There are so many good ones, why did he choose couple outfits?"

Tachibana Yuki looked a little resentful and said with envy in his tone: "I guess he liked the women's suit and bought it back as a gift for his girlfriend."

The fitting room was neither too big nor too small. Hanfu has a lot of space to wear, and if it was too small, it would be in the way. Liya was a little confused when she was suddenly pulled in. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She asked, "Why did you pull me in? I don't have anything to wear."

"I'm afraid I'll wear it wrong." Shen Yunie curled her lips and smiled, grabbing the edge of her clothes with both hands and pulling them up, revealing her obvious abdominal muscles and slender body.

Leah blinked, her earlobes hidden by a few strands of hair on her temples turned red. She raised her hand to cover the boy's eyes, "Don't take off your clothes while talking, this is a fitting room!"

76. I just want to kiss you

This Hanfu has an exclusive beige shirt with gold edges. On both sides of the shoulders, white and gold silk threads are used to show two white cranes with outstretched wings. The lower body is a wide skirt, so Shen Yunie does not need to take off her pants.

Leah pinched the two corners of her skirt and looked at him with a subtle smile, "Come and wear a skirt. I think a short skirt is more suitable for you. It can show your long legs."

Shen Yunie's legs are not as slender as those of girls. They look straight and slender, and well-proportioned without a trace of fat. Such legs have met all the requirements for being a model, and Leah has always been looking forward to seeing him wearing a skirt.

Shen Yunie fastened the buttons on her chest, raised her hand and pulled her in front of him, "Sister Leah, just wear it for me to see. If you wear it, I will wear it."

"Then why are we wearing different clothes?" Leah still didn't give up. She blinked and had a new idea in her mind. She put her hands around his waist and tied his skirt tightly. "I wear a skirt, and you should wear a skirt too."

“I choose not to wear any of them.”

Hearing this, Leia put her hand that was about to be retracted on his lower abdomen, pinched his abdominal muscles through the thin cloth, and looked at him seriously with a frown.

Shen Yunie's body froze, and she grabbed Leah's hand in front of her eyes, and gently hooked it with her left hand. The two bodies were very close, "Sister Leah, I was wrong. This is a fitting room and there are people waiting for us outside."

"You don't seem to be apologizing sincerely." Seeing the smile on his face, Leah reluctantly reached out and put the cloak with golden threads showing clouds on him, "Raise your hands and put on your clothes."

Shen Yunie raised his hand obediently, and after putting on the cloak, the Hanfu was completely put on. Leah stood in front of him and looked at him carefully, then nodded with satisfaction. With this fair and beautiful face and a perfect figure developed through long-term exercise, he would look good no matter what clothes he wore.

It's a pity that he entered a dangerous world like Honkai. If he changed his way, he could live well with this face. Leah sighed in her heart.

After all, the clothes belonged to someone else, so she didn't reach out to touch them. She touched the boy's face and pushed him out of the fitting room. "Looks good, go out. It takes a long time to get dressed."

It took Shen Yunie some time to change clothes. Ju Yuxi and Ju Hinata were sitting on the sofa waiting. A couple walked into Lin Jiang's store and she was recommending her clothes. When he noticed the door of the fitting room was opened, all eyes in the store were on him.

The white color gives people a vague feeling, while the gold color looks elegant and luxurious. The clouds and white cranes above seem alive, and with the young man's good looks, he looks like a banished immortal with fluttering clothes.

The eyes of several women in the store were slightly stunned, but their gazes brightened after they came to their senses. Tachibana Hinata nodded repeatedly, too satisfied to say anything more complimentary. Tachibana Yuki pouted, but secretly agreed in her heart that it did look good when she wore it.

Among the couple, the girl stared straight at Shen Yunie. When her boyfriend noticed it, she looked at him with a slightly hostile look and stood in front of his girlfriend.

Lin Jiang came back to his senses and ran towards him with a smile, "You look better than the male star in the recent popular TV series! The designer originally designed this dress based on how he would wear it, but now it seems to suit you better."

"Thank you." Shen Yunie's gaze fell on the couple's women's Hanfu again. He still hadn't walked to the mirror to see what he looked like.

Lin Jiang walked around him for a few times, but couldn't find any flaws. Finally, he walked up to Shen Yunie and looked at him with bright eyes, "Shen... classmate, do you want to work part-time as a model in our store? I can give you this amount every day."

She stretched out her hands and made the numbers of ones and zeros.

This price is definitely high even in any big city, not to mention that Taixu Town is considered a remote place. Moreover, the only requirement is to be a model, which clearly shows that they are very sincere.

The girl was still somewhat rational, but she was also unable to extricate herself from Shen Yunie's good looks. She tugged at her boyfriend's clothes and said excitedly, "Hey, let's wear the same thing as him."

"The one that doesn't look good on us, haven't you heard that it was designed specifically for him!"

Facing Lin Jiang's invitation, Shen Yunie shook her head calmly and refused: "Sorry, I don't need a part-time job. But I bought these two clothes, just help me pack them."

"Hmm." Lin Jiang was shocked that his offer was so high but still rejected. The boy didn't even ask the price and was nonchalant, which indirectly proved that he was definitely not short of money. After all, these two clothes were designed by a designer, and the price was much more expensive. "Student Shen, are you planning to give them to your girlfriend? Do you want her to try them too?"

"No, it will look great on her."

Looking at the extra money in her account, Lin Jiang was more certain that this was a child from a wealthy family. She thought that such a boy would not find a bad girlfriend. And what she said made her feel sour and envious, and she almost couldn't suppress the emotion on her face.

No wonder Youxi was so calm, it turned out that she had already understood that she didn't have any chance at all.

Before leaving the store, she looked at the boy eagerly, "Mr. Shen, if you debut as an idol someday, remember to let Youxi tell me that I am definitely your most loyal sister fan."

Shen Yunie gave her a calm smile in response.

Originally it was just a try, he didn't expect that he would buy clothes. After the episode, the three walked back to Nangong Ming's hometown, a magnificent courtyard, white walls and gray bricks, the open space at the entrance was set up with plum blossom piles, in the middle was a wooden arena, in the distance there were artificial rockery and pavilions, the houses were several stories high, and opposite the living room hung a copybook called Baji.

The courtyard is much larger than Ji Zi's villa. This house is almost the most valuable building in the entire Taixu Town.

"This used to be just a martial arts hall, without rockeries or pavilions, but the two old people renovated it when they had money, and we live very well here." Ju Yuxi explained to Shen Yunie with some emotion. She turned around, raised her chin and was a little proud, "Student Shen, choose, there are many rooms here, which one do you want to live in?"

Shen Yunie looked around and chose a more remote house. There was also an open space there, but it was facing away from the group of houses. "That room should be unoccupied. I'll choose that one."

"Isn't it too far?" Yuki Tachibana frowned. The house was at the end of the pavilion and was the farthest room here.

As she was speaking, Shen Yunie had already stepped forward and said with an impeccable reason: "You are all girls, I always have to give way when I live here."

Living far away, he and Leah wouldn't be disturbed when they were together.

Shen Yunie didn't bring any luggage except for the two pieces of clothing he had just bought, so he didn't need the Ju sisters to escort him and went to the room by himself.

The place used to be a martial arts school, with few decorations and the room was spotlessly clean. He sat on the bed to rest. Leah appeared beside him and took the golden Hanfu out of the packaging bag. She touched it curiously. Would it really look good on her?

She unfolded it, picked up the translucent shawl and looked at it curiously. Before she could look at it for long, her hand was pinched. Shen Yunie was looking at her with a smile, "Put it on at night. It's troublesome to put it on. I can help you."

"No need for help, I can put it on by myself." Leia let go of the shawl and rested her chin on his shoulder.

The soft body pressed against her, and Shen Yunie subconsciously raised her hand to hold her waist, and buried her face in her neck, "Then I won't help, wait and see."

The two of them slowly closed their eyes and used hugs to relieve the fatigue from the previous ride. Occasionally, there would be subtle sounds coming from outside the house, which seemed to be the sounds made by the two sisters practicing martial arts. After a long time, Shen Yunie raised her head and rubbed Leah's face reluctantly.

He suggested, "It's still early, let's go out for a walk."

When Shen Yunie left the courtyard, he was not noticed by the two sisters. The house was too big, and they did not send a message to Ju Yuxi until he had walked some distance away.

There are a mixture of new and old stores in Taixu Town, and there are not many people.

Shen Yunie and Leah had walked a long distance hand in hand without anyone noticing them, and they shuttled through the alleys. Occasionally, the light would dim completely, and Leah would move closer, as if she needed someone to lead her forward.

The alleys were crisscrossed, and the two stopped at the same time. There was a sound coming from the end of the alley ahead. Leah walked forward curiously and put her head out to check. After a while, she walked back with her head down. The dim light did not prevent her face from looking red.

The zigzag light fell behind her, just like the red sunset glow that dyed the sky at sunset, and her delicate skin seemed to ripple on the water.

"Don't go over there, there are couples over there..." Leah pouted at him, her meaning was very clear. This place was surrounded by alleys, and a large number of houses might not be occupied, which was undoubtedly the best cover.

There is a legend in Taixu Mountain that if a couple walks through the ten thousand steps and reaches the top to be witnessed by the immortals, their love will be fulfilled. At the beginning, many couples came here because of the reputation, but they all gave up in the end because the stairs had more than ten thousand layers, but tens of thousands.

As the number of people decreased, the Taixu Town below became a good place for couples to live in their own world and disappear into the distance.

"Okay." Shen Yunie nodded at her with a smile, but did not take any action.

When Leah came over and was about to leave here hand in hand, Shen Yunie suddenly grabbed her hands. Taking a step forward, Leah unconsciously stepped back, leaning against the wall, watching the boy approach her and slowly lowering her head.

Leah pulled her hand out and put it on his head, her face still red, "That's not what I meant, I meant there's a couple kissing over there."

"I know, but that has nothing to do with us, just don't go." Shen Yunie lowered his head with a smile on his face. He raised his hand to hold up the hair at the temples of Leah, and put his face close to her, and felt the warmth coming from her red earlobes.

"I just wanted to kiss you."

77. You are crooked

If the two were a couple who had just started dating, and Leia was still an innocent girl, her face would obviously have turned even redder because of Shen Yunie's words.

But she had watched Shen Yunie grow up, knew him thoroughly and was not a little girl, so when she accepted this, she did not feel shy, but had an inexplicable feeling. She had been watching Yunie's growth all day, but why did she feel that he had grown a little crooked?

Shen Yunie couldn't help but smile at that look, and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, "Sister Leah, what can I do to satisfy you?"

"I can satisfy you no matter what you do." Leah leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Or I can satisfy you too. Change for a change."

"That's good." This way of getting along is what Shen Yunie is used to. When he suddenly heard that Leia wanted to change her personality for him, he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Hey, stop kissing! Is there someone over there? Why is there a shadow?"

A shy and slightly surprised voice sounded, Shen Yunie was stunned, and quickly took Leah's hand and left here, looking back, she was still laughing.

The two walked through most of Taixu Town and finally stopped in front of an ancient-looking shop. It was a jewelry store selling specialty products. The store was very small and did not have any plaques for decoration. It simply used wooden shelves to display some red rope amulets.

The amulets are all handmade, including a few small amulets and a few strings of red bead bracelets.

Shen Yunie rolled up her sleeves, it seemed to be similar to the one Fu Hua gave her, but it looked much more exquisite when worn on her wrist.

"It's unique to Taixu Town, and only old guys like us remember how to make it. It's been a long time. When you wear it, the immortals will watch you." Seeing him standing in front of those accessories in a daze, the very old shop owner slowly walked out of the dimly lit shop and looked at him with a kind smile, "You don't need to buy it. If you want, it's no problem to take a few."

Shen Yunie did not take them, and said thoughtfully: "These are to protect martial artists."

He looked back. Leah had no interest in choosing. She would wear and carry whatever she bought. The mature girl was not very interested in girls' things. Instead, she was curious about the children playing on the street and stood by the stone bridge looking at them.

"Not only that, the immortals save people from difficulties. As long as you wear it sincerely, you will always be blessed." The old shop owner smiled and shook her head. She continued, "But there is a prerequisite, that is, you can't lie."

"You can't lie." Shen Yunie looked at several amulets, trying to find the best one to give to Leah, "I will pay."

"Ugh!"

The exclamation disrupted his thoughts. The old shopkeeper in front of him still had a kind smile and did not hear any sound. Shen Yunie turned his head suddenly. A little girl ran without paying attention to the road. She ran to the empty steps of the guardrail and fell towards the river unexpectedly. It seemed that the wind blew and made her stop. She sat on the ground and stared blankly at the end of the steps very close to her.
