Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

"Nine o'clock, it's still early." Cecilia appeared on the bed behind him, lying on her back with her silver hair spread out, and her shirt and jeans turned into a pink and white one-piece nightgown.

"Let's wait until he wakes up in the middle of the night, then we can go out." Shen Yunie thought for a while and decided to follow the previous method of dealing with the zombies. He would enter the forest when everyone was asleep and deal with the monster quietly.

He turned around, and all he could see was Sister Leah lying beside him. He lay on the bed, his body embraced by those long, white arms.

Cecilia rubbed her face against Xiao Yunie's soft face, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Good night then."

"Well, good night, Sister Leah."

Shen Yunie was awakened by the heat. When he woke up, his head was buried in Cecilia's arms, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Leah, who is just a soul, doesn't need to eat, bathe, or sleep like him. Even the clothes she changes are recorded in her subconscious.

If she does nothing, she is just a soul without memory, but if she lives like a normal person, she is a living person, someone that only Shen Yunie can see.

Cecilia needs Shen Yunie, needs herself to see her and accommodate this soul that has nowhere to go.

“Hmm…” Feeling the little boy in her arms move, Cecilia rubbed her eyes sleepily, and narrowed her eyes into a slit, “Yune, it’s not time yet, right?”

She glanced at the alarm clock on the table and saw that it was less than ten minutes away from ringing.

"Get up, get up."

After Shen Yunie put on his clothes, Cecilia took him out an iron gun head from the bottom of the closet. This was the only weapon he had used to deal with zombies in the past few years.

It was almost one in the morning, the bright moonlight shone through the windows into the corridor, the whole orphanage was fast asleep, everything was quiet. Some children may never have thought that the monsters that only existed in movies were in the woods not far from them.

In the dark corridor, Cecilia held Shen Yunie's hand and they walked towards the door.

"..." In a certain room, Bianca tossed and turned in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. She slowly opened her eyes with helplessness in them.

I just moved into the new orphanage and haven't adjusted yet. And there's that awful boy. I just wanted to go out and play, but he scared me. Now I can't sleep. It's all his fault! I must get revenge!

The little girl's thoughts were simple. She just couldn't sleep and wanted someone to accompany her. Revenge was just an excuse to comfort herself.

She got out of bed and tiptoed to open the door. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor, and at the end was the room of the boy named Shen Yunie. She walked out and looked into the distance, and happened to see a figure leaving the corridor.

"Shen...Yunie?" Bi Anyu was a little confused. She was sure that she was not mistaken. Most of the children in the welfare home had blonde or brown hair. His black hair under the moonlight became his most conspicuous feature. "Why did this guy go out? Is there really a problem with his eyesight?"

The girl was filled with doubts and curiosity, and she followed quietly behind using revenge as an excuse.

Shen Yunie walked out of the gate of the welfare home and stopped in front of the slope. After passing this place, there was a small forest. Everything was silent. Originally, this forest was also a place for children to play, but now there was a monster in it, and the degree of terror increased dramatically.

Cecilia stood there for a while, then said, "The smell in the woods is very strong, but it's also very dispersed. Maybe it got lost and couldn't get out."

"Let's go and find it." Shen Yunie put the gun head in his hand, fixed it, and walked down the slope. Cecilia had returned to his body, and with her, he could deal with the zombies.

"Into the woods?" When Bianca came to the slope, Shen Yunie had already entered the woods and was quickly surrounded by darkness. Looking at the dark and silent woods, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, but her curiosity grew stronger, so she gritted her teeth and followed him into the woods.

In May, the trees grow lush branches, which are piled up layer by layer to block out the sun. In the pitch-black forest, you can't see your hand in front of you. It's all thanks to Cecilia and Shen Yunie that they can search accurately.

Following Sister Leah's route, Shen Yunie walked and said casually, "I wonder how many zombies like this there are in the world."

"Maybe Honkai and the like exist, but they don't exist here." Cecilia said, "There are even ways to cure Yunet's eyes."

Shen Yunie shook her head gently, "But if that happens, I will have to leave here. My eyes are nothing to me. It is enough to have the dean and Sister Leah by my side for the rest of my life."

"Huh, you actually want three people? I'm going to be jealous!"

"…My favorite is Sister Leah."

The forest was not big, but the smell was distributed widely and unevenly, so it was impossible to identify where the zombie was. All Shen Yunie could do was to walk aside.

Bianca was walking in the woods. She had lost her lover the moment she entered the woods. She was almost filled with fear. She had to rely on her curiosity and the thought that Shen Yunie was right beside her to grope around here alone. "Shen Yunie! Where did you go?"

There was no answer, and the surroundings were quiet except for the occasional rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bushes. She was frightened and took a few steps back, then immediately turned and walked another way.

Bianca walked slowly, groping her way through a bush. She suddenly pinched her nose and said, "What's that smell? It's so strange."

A pungent smell came, and she turned her head to look around, her sight turned to the bushes not far away, she saw a figure standing under a big tree, the other person seemed to have noticed her sight, turned around and walked towards her with stiff steps.

"Hey, who are you?" Bianca bravely shouted at the man.

There was no response, and the other party even quickened his pace. She bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it at him. When it hit his body, the sound was like hitting steel.

Bianca took a few steps back, and a ray of moonlight happened to fall on the man. Only then did she see clearly that the guy was not a human at all, but a humanoid monster with purple and white skin!

Run! The first thought that came to her mind when she came to her senses was, seeing the monster getting closer and closer to her, she turned and ran, her face turned pale with fear, "Help... Help!"

"what!!"

A piercing scream sounded in the woods. Shen Yunie was startled and immediately realized that someone was attacked by zombies. "Sister Leah, someone encountered that guy!"

"It's not far away, turn right four meters ahead!" Cecilia immediately gave orders anxiously.

Shen Yunie took a step and started running quickly towards the direction where Bianca was. If it weren't for the scream, he would not have been able to find her. The leaves and bushes on the ground greatly hindered his progress. He didn't dare to speed up, and it took him several minutes to reach the place where the scream came from.

"Yune is on your left, that's Bianca? And that zombie!" Cecilia saw Bianca trapped in front of a big tree. The girl was so frightened that she just stared blankly at the monster that was getting closer and closer to her.

A humanoid monster with white and purple skin, long hair, and enormous power. This is the zombie!

"Bianca, stop daydreaming and come here!" Shen Yunie shouted loudly, raising the iron tool in his hand. Cold sweat broke out on his palms, but with Sister Leah in mind, he quickly calmed down.

Bianca looked at the monster in astonishment, tears streaming down her face. It was not until she heard the shout that she came to her senses. She looked at the boy who suddenly appeared here, and hurriedly struggled to run towards him, "Shen Yunie!"

The zombie was also alarmed and ran after Bianca.

"Hide behind me." Shen Yunie focused on the footsteps, which were rapid and regular. No doubt the regular ones were those of the zombies. "Sister Leah, how far are we?"

"Ten meters!" Cecilia said nervously, "Seven meters, six meters..."

4. Cecilia's Teachings

Bianca's face was pale. She hid behind Shen Yunie and said nervously: "This monster is so strong, let's run!"

At the last moment when they were three meters apart, Shen Yunie took a step forward. Cecilia's figure appeared behind him, and she grabbed the smaller pair of hands with both hands and stabbed them into the zombie's chest.

"Click——"

The iron spear head made a cracking sound, as if it hit a hard stone. Shen Yunie felt his palms were numb from the shock, and tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.

Cecilia pulled back her hand and hit the zombie in the chest. The zombie instantly lost its ability to move and fell backwards. Purple blood gradually flowed out and stained Shen Yunie's hand.

The liquid was absorbed by his skin in a matter of seconds, leaving only a dried purple mark on his collar.

"Yune, are you okay?" Seeing her little boy crying in pain, Cecilia hugged him distressedly. However, because Bianca was still doing other things that might scare people, she had no choice but to let go.

"I'm fine." Shen Yunie whispered, throwing the broken gun head aside. He turned to face the stunned girl, "Are you okay? Why are you here?"

"I... I saw you coming out, so I followed you..." Bianca quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes, and her face regained some color. She looked at the purple monster that was the same size as an adult, and asked fearfully, "Shen Yunie, what kind of monster is this?"

"Zombies are monsters that infect corpses with a virus." Shen Yunie regained her composure. "It's been on the news. Don't you know?"

“I haven’t seen it…”

"That's it anyway, but the dean and the others don't know yet, so don't tell them." Shen Yunie shrugged, "They are already very busy, I don't want them to worry anymore, I will deal with this kind of monster if there is one."

"Oh..." Bianca nodded, and the worry in her heart gradually disappeared when she recalled that he could kill a zombie with one blow. She looked at the dead monster and couldn't help but feel a little creepy, "Let's go quickly, it looks scary."

"If you sleep well, you won't see it." Shen Yunie said helplessly, "That's why I asked you to be obedient."

Bianca was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. Her resistance and stubbornness today came to her mind. She didn't dare to answer for a moment and whispered, "I'm sorry... I should have listened to you. I will listen to you from now on!"

Hearing this, Shen Yunie reached out and touched Bianca's head, comforting her: "Well, just be obedient in the future. Are you scared?"

"Well... let's leave here quickly. I'll help you walk." Bianca nodded repeatedly. In fact, she was also very scared. She reached out and hugged Shen Yunie's arm, and took him out of the woods.

The trouble-making Leah gave him a thumbs up. She thought it would take some time for this rebellious girl to be convinced, but she didn't expect the problem to be solved so quickly.

They returned to the welfare home quietly. The previous screams did not wake anyone up. The two went back to their rooms to rest. The matter of zombies became a secret between the two children, and they agreed not to tell anyone.

……

It was a weekend morning. Shen Yunie was sitting on a small stool in the bathroom. Her fluffy, slightly long black hair was covered with foam. A pair of slender hands gently rubbed her hair, and then poured with warm water.

"Sister Leah, is it the weekend today?" Shen Yunie asked with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood after solving the hidden danger in the welfare home. He had done something, so that Dean Ragnar would be less busy. He didn't want the gentle Dean to face monsters like zombies.

"Yeah." Leah nodded and wiped his hair with a towel.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Then the dean can accompany us today."

"Well..." Leah said reluctantly, her voice drawn out.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, most of the children had already arrived. Bianca was absent-mindedly eating breakfast in the crowd until Shen Yunie appeared. She came to her senses and a bright smile appeared on her face.

With Cecilia's guidance, Shen Yunie took the bread and milk and sat down. Not long after, a voice sounded in his ears, "Xiao Yunie~"

A faint fragrance, a gentle voice, and then his face was rubbed by another face. Shen Yunie was very resistant to intimate actions such as hugging and rubbing faces with others. The only two people who made exceptions were Sister Leah and Dean Ragnar.

"Good morning, Xiao Yune." Ragnar's delicate oval face showed comfort. He couldn't help but pinch the little boy's cute face again, and then took the bread and started eating.

Shen Yunie did not resist, and smiled and said, "Good morning, Dean. You are going to teach us self-defense again today, right?"

"Hmm... kid, why are you so interested in self-defense?" Ragna nodded helplessly. The drink next to her was a glass of wine. "Can we learn slowly? The dean can't keep up with you."

It's not that she didn't want to teach, it's just that this child learns too fast. She only taught him once, but he completely mastered it not long after. Then this learning speed became uncontrollable, so that when other children were learning gymnastics for physical exercise, he had already started practicing professional fighting techniques.

Ragnar reached out to take the wine, but a small hand pushed the glass aside.

Without Sister Leah telling him, Shen Yunie also smelled the smell of alcohol. He said in a tone like an adult, "Dean, you can't drink in the morning. If you get drunk, you won't be able to teach us later. I will protect the dean from now on."

"Ah~" Looking at the serious look of the little boy, Ragnar felt his heart melt. With such a good son, he will never lack anything in his life!

She smiled with her eyes curved, "I won't drink if you hug me for a while, we'll go practice later."

"It's a deal!" Shen Yunie nodded, tentatively put her hand on Ragnar's shoulder, moved closer, put her arms around her neck and gave her a gentle hug.

"So good~" Ragnar smiled with satisfaction.

Returning to her seat, Shen Yunie asked Cecilia, who had not spoken, "Sister Leah, is the dean still drinking?"

"No." Cecilia said sullenly, "Yune, it's too easy for someone to take advantage of you like this!"

Xiao Yunie tilted her head, a little confused, "It's just the dean, what's the matter?"

"Of course!" Cecilia blinked her beautiful eyes and explained seriously, "Every time I hug you, I won't drink. What if Yu Nie is not around?

So you can’t let the dean hug her easily. It’s best not to let her hug her until she stops drinking. That way, the dean will stop drinking soon!"

"It seems so..." Shen Yunie felt that Sister Leah's words were a little strange, but it also made some sense, so she began to think, "Then let's do this from now on."

Cecilia smiled with satisfaction, appeared in the air and kissed Xiao Yunie on the face. As expected, little girls are not a big threat, mature women are their opponents, even though she is the dean, they can't be too close!

After breakfast, there is the weekly self-defense training, which is led by Ragnar and the children learn, more to add some fun to the boring life.

There are not many buildings in the welfare home, only a large church with a rest room next to it. The place where everyone exercises is in the backyard, where there is an arc-shaped lawn enclosed by a wooden fence. The grass has been trimmed, and there is a large stone mill on the side.

The children lined up neatly in a row. Ragnar stood opposite them with a very friendly smile on his face, leading everyone in gymnastics training.

Shen Yunie stood at a distance from the crowd and began to practice alone. He took a horse stance with his palms, one in front and the other behind, and drew circles lightly in his hands as if he was holding something. His breathing also became slow and even.

"Yune is practicing very seriously." A nurse watched silently from the side and smiled, "What is this?"

"It was Xismart, the dean who taught me." Shen Yunie replied. After finishing a full set, he started practicing for the second time. His skillful movements and standard postures were far superior to those of other children.

The nurse gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "That's amazing!"

5. Competition

Bianca was doing gymnastics like other kids in the crowd, but after a while she felt bored and stopped.

Turning her gaze to Shen Yunie, she suddenly asked curiously, "Why isn't Yunie with us? What is he practicing?"

"Brother Yunie is different from us. He no longer practices the basics. He seems to be practicing the fighting technique called Sismart that the dean taught him." The child next to him explained, looking at Shen Yunie with admiration in his eyes.

"So powerful?" Bianca was a little surprised. So that's why he had so much strength to kill the monster last night?

She came back to her senses, and her interest in this fighting skill suddenly increased a lot, "I want to practice it too!"

Recalling Shen Yunie's previous posture, she began to imitate it. Horse stance, punching... then what? What should she do next?

Bianca didn't realize that she had forgotten everything, and started to punch randomly according to her thoughts. She focused her attention on the millstone not far away, reached out and grabbed the wooden stick and pulled it.

"Boom——"

A loud noise came from the millstone, and Bianca was startled. She just pulled the millstone lightly and it was pulled off the stone plate, making a deep hole in the grass.

Everyone was frightened. Ragnar, who came to his senses first, ran towards her and said, "Bianca, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Bianca looked down at her own hands, then looked at the huge millstone, unable to believe that it was her own strength just now.

Shen Yunie, who heard the noise, also stopped and turned to look over there. He asked in confusion: "Sister Leah, what happened?"

"Bianca pulled the millstone down... that millstone seems to weigh more than 200 pounds, right?" Cecilia also found it incredible, "Is she born with supernatural powers?
