Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

"No." Shen Yunie shook his head. He had basically never been to other places in the town except for purchasing. Occasionally, he would just pass by places where he could hear children's laughter, but he never stopped. He was not a child who would smile at toys. He was more interested in the fighting skills taught by the dean and Sister Leah.

"We are just going to purchase and can't stay too long."

"Okay..." Bianca's excitement suddenly disappeared a lot, but she was still very happy, "With Yu Nie, it's fun to go anywhere!"

The girl quickly ate the bread clean, and there were still some crumbs left at the corners of her mouth, which she wiped away casually. Bianca, who Shen Yunie thought was a little fat, was actually a thin and cute blonde girl.

"This child likes you more and more." Cecilia appeared in the air and stretched out her hand to touch Bianca's face, but it passed right through. She did not use the ability to touch objects.

Shen Yunie didn't feel anything about this, but was surprised at Sister Leah's calmness. "Sister Leah, do you object to her getting close to me?"

"Why would you object? It's good to have a friend around Yune." Cecilia reached out and pinched his face. It didn't take any ability to touch the little boy's face, and it felt so comfortable to pinch!

"But she can be noisy sometimes..."

The next day, after waking up from his sleep, Shen Yunie was about to put on his original clothes, but Cecilia pulled him to change into new clothes. For him who was blind, it made no difference what he wore, but Cecilia naturally would not agree.

In her words, "Hune is so pretty, it would be a shame if she didn't dress up a little bit more beautifully!"

Finally, Shen Yunie changed into an off-white long shirt with a neat and exquisite bow tied at the collar by Leah, and black shorts. With his delicate and fair face, he looked good in anything he wore, but as a boy, his body had not grown up yet and his fluffy shoulder-length black hair made him look more girly and cute.

Cecilia was very satisfied with her own dressing style. She smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth and praised, "So beautiful!"

It turned out that I made the right decision to let him grow his hair long. I can tie his hair like I'm taking care of my daughter, and it will look much better than a girl's! I just don't know if he is willing to wear a little skirt...

"Isn't beautiful used to describe girls?" Shen Yunie felt something was wrong. The tight bow made him feel uncomfortable. He reached out to untie it a little, but before he could touch it, Leah held his hand.

"Sister Leah, are you dressing up as a girl for me?"

Cecilia retracted her smile and said seriously, "Yes, he is handsome! Yu Nie is really handsome, this is the best look, don't move."

It seems that the wish to wear a skirt cannot be realized immediately. I still have to work harder to make the little boy happy, so that he may be willing to wear it.

After getting dressed, Shen Yunie left the room to look for Bianca, and they met on the road. She disliked the inconvenience of skirts, so she rarely wore a wheat-colored calf skirt, and a dark blue long-sleeved shirt. Her radish-like calves looked slender and well-proportioned, and she looked much more ladylike.

Bianca looked at the exquisite Shen Yunie, and thought to herself that he was more handsome than girls. His black hair was like lead powder. She suddenly laughed and rushed towards him, "Sister~"

Shen Yunie's face darkened. She turned around slightly to avoid the attack, then grabbed her and pinched her soft face with her hands, "Don't call me sister, you have to call me brother!"

"Hehe, brother..." Bianca smiled foolishly, although her face wasn't very painful from being pinched.

When Ragna learned that Yune was going to take Bianca to the town to buy things, she agreed to it. She had other things to do so she couldn't accompany the two children. Before leaving, she gave the two of them enough money and handed a mobile phone to Bianca.

Shen Yunie went there many times and would never get lost and would always return to the orphanage on time. She was afraid that Bianca would get lost. If a child had vision problems and couldn't find someone, it would be troublesome.

"Be careful, it's okay to take Bianca to play for a while." Ragnar squatted in front of Shen Yunie, reminded him with a smile, and then did not forget to kiss him on the face.

Shen Yunie nodded, "We will be back within the specified time."

The welfare home is five kilometers away from the town, and it takes an hour to go back and forth. Shen Yunie walked on the roadside as Cecilia told her story, while Bianca, who was following her, fiddled with the keypad phone. She became interested in a game called Snake on it.

Shen Yunie heard the sound of snakes eating food one after another. He said helplessly, "Remember not to use up the battery, otherwise we won't be able to find you if you get lost."

"I won't get lost. I'll go wherever you go." Bianca obediently put away her phone and looked at the fields on both sides of the road. The wheat planted in the spring had already grown up, and it was green and lush, like a grassland. "It's great here, much better than where I was before."

"The previous place?" Shen Yunie asked curiously. Only then did he realize that Bianca had lived in an orphanage since childhood just like him.

8. Shopping in town

Hearing the question, Bianca began to recall, and then explained: "I remember that when I was a child, I was in an orphanage in another country. The orphanage over there was not free at all. I had to go to the vessel warehouse for a physical examination every month."

Shen Yunie had heard of the vessel warehouse, but wasn't that something used only for experiments? And once you entered an orphanage, you couldn't change it at will, and you weren't allowed to leave easily. "And then you escaped?"

"I got lost." Bianca stuck out her tongue and said a little embarrassedly, "The orphanage was moving to another place at that time. I got lost because I was playing around when passing through a small town. Then I met the director, and she asked me to stay at the Tomorrow Orphanage."

Shen Yunie was stunned. He didn't expect Bianca's arrival to be so dramatic. He smiled and said lightly, "Then you must remember this time, don't get lost again."

"I like Dean and Yu Nie, I will definitely not get lost again!"

"So you really didn't escape?"

The two children walked on the path beside the field. The green of the wheat field spread to where it merged with the sky. They were integrated into this beautiful picture. It was not until nearly an hour later that the outline of the town appeared in front of them.

The town has an ancient feel. Although it has modern brick buildings, there are no buildings higher than four stories. Residents and shops coexist, so there is no so-called commercial street. Most people on the roadside walk or ride bicycles, and only a few cars drive on the dusty roads.

Bianca had taken a look at it before, but she still felt it was novel when she came to the town again. She spent most of her time in the welfare home. Even in the original welfare home, if she wanted to go out, she would be refused by the caregiver on the grounds that she was too young.

Shen Yunie was much calmer. He could not see the appearance of the town, but all the goods he needed to buy were remembered in his mind. Just as he was thinking about what to buy, the corner of his clothes was gently pulled.

"Yune, I want to go out and play." Bianca looked at the street with twinkling eyes, "There's a guy walking a grizzly bear over there!"

Children are curious about many things. Even Shen Yunie was aroused by his curiosity. However, he still remembered that the mission of this trip was to purchase goods. He said in a gentle tone, "Go buy what everyone wants first. I'll buy you anything you want to eat on the way."

Because Bianca and I went out together, the money Dean Ragnar gave him was more than the purchase amount, and now there was a lot more. Maybe he wanted me to take her to relieve her boredom, and as usual, he would buy some of what Sister Leah liked to eat.

"Sister Leah, have you decided what to eat?"

Cecilia had been thinking about what she wanted to eat since last night. "Jasmine cake! And barbecue, and more. If we pass by the store with the claw machine on the way, can we go and play for a while?"

"Yeah." After Leah said this, Shen Yunie started thinking in his mind how to get closer to the store. There was also the jasmine cake, which was covered with a layer of white petals and tasted strange, but it turned out to be something that Sister Leah liked to eat.

The two children walked along the street, their extremely high looks attracted a lot of attention. Shen Yunie stopped in front of one of the shops.

The manager of the flour shop was an old lady. When she saw two small figures appear at the door, she knew that the children from the orphanage had come again.

With a kind smile on her face, she came to Shen Yunie and squatted down, reaching out to touch his head, "Hey, Xiao Yunie, you are here again?"

"Well, the flour in the welfare home has run out." Shen Yunie nodded. Facing the outstretched hand, he subconsciously dodged to the side, not caring whether the old man would feel embarrassed. In short, he resisted, "Thank you for your help."

"It's okay. It's hard for you to come such a far place." The old woman's hand stopped in mid-air. She smiled helplessly without embarrassment. This child had avoided her many times and she was used to it.

Her eyes fell on the equally lovely girl beside her, and she also felt a surge of maternal love in her heart. She reached out and touched her head, "Good girl, are you here to help too?"

"Yeah." Bianca didn't hide. The old man touched her head and looked at her blankly, "Hello, grandma."

Facing such a well-behaved girl, the old lady smiled brightly. She turned back to the counter and took out a lot of food. "Good, good girl. Are you hungry? Come and have something to eat here."

Bianca was stunned, not yet able to react to the old man's enthusiasm. She pulled at Xiao Yunie's clothes, as if asking him if he could eat.

"If you like it, eat some." Shen Yunie nodded. The old man must like them so much that he is so enthusiastic and he should not have any ill intentions.

After walking such a long way, Bianca was indeed a little hungry, and she didn’t come across anything she wanted to eat along the way. A smile immediately appeared on her face, “Thank you, grandma!”

She started to eat bread, while Shen Yunie started to buy flour, a bag of 30 kilograms of flour. The old man saw that they were two children and wanted to give them more, but seeing that a bag of flour was half the weight of little Yunie, he finally gave up.

"Child, how about letting grandma take it to you?" the old woman asked peacefully.

"No need." Shen Yunie shook his head, then reached out and picked up the bag of flour under the gaze of the old man. His strength was not as strong as Bianca's, but it was still strong enough.

He was able to lift something that only an adult could lift with just a little effort. It wasn't the first time the old man had seen this child use his extraordinary strength, so he remained calm, but he was still worried about his eyesight.

"But Hane-chan's eyes..."

"Don't worry, thank you grandma." Shen Yunie smiled at her. What seemed extremely difficult to others was not difficult for him. "Bianca will help me."

The old man thought that this was Xiao Yunie comforting him. The girl looked thin and weak, and she couldn't hold much with her hands. But since he had been rejected, he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch him leave.

Seeing that Shen Yunie was not there, Bianca had no intention of continuing to eat. She looked around with a pair of eyes that were faintly nervous. It was not until the boy carrying flour appeared that the nervousness on her face disappeared, "Yunie!"

"Are you full?" Shen Yunie asked softly.

As if she was afraid of being left alone again while she was eating, Bianca quickly shook her head, "I'm full, I'm full! Let me help you get your food, Yune."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the bag of flour. She was strong, and the flour felt as light in her hands as bread. The old man happened to walk out of the warehouse and opened his mouth in surprise after seeing this scene.

The two children left the flour shop. Shen Yunie thought for a moment, "Next we have fruit and bread, and the welfare home is running out of oil."

Not long after, a surprising scene appeared on the street: two young children were holding so much food that even adult men could not lift it all at once. However, they looked relaxed, occasionally stopping at a store, and when they came out, they had more food in their hands.

9. Monster?

The two who had almost finished shopping were walking on the street. Shen Yunie was holding a bag of apples and a lot of food in her hands, while Bianca was dragging the bag of flour and holding a bucket of oil. In addition, there was a wheat-colored kitten doll that Shen Yunie gave her when she passed by the claw machine store.

It was too troublesome to take everything back, so after purchasing, Shen Yunie would find the people who delivered the goods in the town and pay them to send them back.

Bianca, who was holding the food, became interested in many delicacies along the way, but no matter how much she ate, her flat belly didn't seem to swell at all. At this time, she became interested in a street stall that grilled steaks with vodka. She subconsciously pulled the corner of Shen Yunie's clothes and said with some anticipation: "Yunie, I want to eat that."

"Will you become a little fat?" Shen Yunie stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, with curiosity on her face. She had never seen what Bianca looked like, and could only imagine it through touch and Sister Leah's story. The feeling of pinching was quite comfortable, soft like dough.

He said this as he took the things from the girl's hand, took out some money from his wallet and handed it to her, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

"Yeah!" Bianca didn't care about being told she would get fat. She held the money and walked towards the stall in small steps. After a few steps, she looked back in case Shen Yunie disappeared. "Then wait for me!"

While waiting, Cecilia appeared in the air. She first looked around carefully, and after making sure that no one was looking in this direction, she quickly took out a small bite of cake and ate it. She licked the remaining cream stains at the corners of her mouth and wiped them off.

If someone saw it, they would probably just see a piece of cake suddenly disappear into thin air.

"Delicious!" Cecilia said with a snicker. One piece was not enough, so she secretly ate some more, and at the same time, she did not forget to feed her little boy, "Yune, is it delicious?"

Shen Yunie tasted the faint bitterness of jasmine and the sweetness of butter bread in her mouth. She nodded calmly, "It's okay, it tastes a little weird."

Speaking of strange tastes, the one that impressed him the most was the bitter melon juice that Sister Leah bought on a whim last time. The taste made him doubt whether there would really be anyone in the world who would drink such a thing.

"Eat more, you're still growing." Cecilia decided to make the little boy's taste similar to her own, and secretly fed him another piece.

Slow footsteps sounded, and Leah was startled. Her hand that was reaching for the cake stopped in mid-air, and then quickly returned to his body. Shen Yunie smiled helplessly and reached out to wipe the cream stains from the corners of her mouth. Sister Leah always liked to do these exciting things, but she was afraid of being discovered. After all, her body could not be seen. If someone saw it, it would probably be regarded as a supernatural event.

A pungent smell of alcohol came from it, and two drunks passed by him.

"Hey, did you really get the rare metal?" The drunk man nudged his companion with his elbow.

The other man was also drunk. He patted his chest and said confidently, "Of course! This fell from a monster. It must be a rare metal if it is so hard."

The word "monster" aroused Shen Yunie's interest. He turned around and faced the two of them, and said to Cecilia, "Sister Cecilia, what monster are they talking about?"

From this angle, Cecilia could only see two drunks walking unsteadily. One of them was holding a lavender stone in his hand. She looked at him curiously and shook her head. "I didn't hear him clearly, but he was holding a stone. Could he be a stone monster?"

Maybe the two people were drunk and picked up a stone and mistook it for a rare metal.

"So did you see the monster?" the man asked again.

"No, but it's definitely responsible for all the recent injuries. Let's hand this piece of metal over to the police, and maybe we can make a fortune!"

"Just brag!"

The two drunks laughed and staggered away. Shen Yunie thought about it and decided not to take it seriously. It was none of his business. The wounding incident might have been caused by a wild animal.

Bianca came back and excitedly talked about the chef's cooking skills. Her face seemed to be slightly red because she had eaten meat stained with wine. The two of them finished shopping and the next step was to send all the things back to the welfare home.

As they walked along the roadside, Bianca was suddenly attracted by a piece of paper on the bulletin board. She placed her hand on the paper and read, "Attention, residents of the town. There are ferocious beasts in the forest. There have been six cases of injuries. Please do not leave the town at night."

There was also a missing person notice posted next to it, looking for a girl who was about their age.

"Since there are ferocious beasts, let's go back quickly." Shen Yunie thought of the forest that he passed by when he came to the town. It looked peaceful when he passed by it during the day, but he didn't expect that there would be ferocious beasts in it.

The two children walked towards the store where the goods were shipped. Along the way, Shen Yunie was wondering if he could ask the other party to take them with him as long as they went around the woods.

"Yune, look over there." Bianca suddenly tugged at the boy's clothes and looked in a certain direction curiously, "There's an old lady asking for help. Can I go take a look?"

Shen Yunie turned around, and Cecilia in his body also explained to him. The old woman was holding a wooden sign, and her granddaughter was lost.

He thought for a moment, then said to Bianca calmly, "Just take a look. We can't help you."

They were both just kids.

"Then let's go over and ask." Bianca was still curious, so she took his hand and walked towards the old man.

Shen Yunie's expression froze. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business because it would easily get himself into unnecessary trouble. But the girl was so strong that when he wanted to struggle, he had already arrived in front of the old woman.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Bianca asked curiously.

Seeing only two children coming over, the old woman's face showed a trace of sadness. She sighed in despair and said, "They forced my granddaughter away. I can't find her..."

The old man has been living in the town with his granddaughter. Her children died in a disaster in her early years. A month ago, when her granddaughter was ten years old, she went into the woods to collect firewood, and the news of the monster's appearance spread in the town.

Some people were attacked and injured for entering the woods. As more and more incidents occurred, some people began to spread the news that the granddaughter's unique aura attracted the monster and they were going to drive her out of town. As more and more news spread, the old man's granddaughter ran away from home two days ago because she lost control of her emotions.

She wanted to find her granddaughter, but no one in the town paid any attention to her. Some people even said that the monster disappeared with her granddaughter.

"How could they do this..." Bianca said indignantly, but before she could finish her words, she was pulled aside.

Shen Yunie's face was not very good. He could feel that things were not as simple as the old man said. When Bianca arrived, she did not attract a bunch of zombies. "Bianca, do you want to help her?"

Bianca nodded sheepishly. She asked in a low voice, "Why not help? The old lady only has one granddaughter."

"Have you forgotten about the monsters she mentioned, and the beasts that attacked people on the notice board?"

10. Honkai Beast

Shen Yunie asked helplessly. He knew the girl was kind, and he also had the urge to help her after hearing this. But he was more calm. There were already monsters like zombies in the world, and no one could tell what else existed.

And I know without asking that Sister Leah won't agree.
