Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

It was already afternoon when he walked out of Maki's place. He didn't quite understand how long his sister meant by "going out to play". If it was normal, they would have to return around seven or eight in the evening.

"Then let's play until midnight." Xilin smiled, and her previous sadness was swept away. She looked at the street with a look of expectation in her eyes, and her light golden eyes seemed to be shining. She hugged Shen Yunie's arm and used a little more strength, "Come on, Mom, come out and accompany me."

"You want me too?" Leah was surprised and followed her daughter's instructions. Then she was hugged by her other hand. The three of them were close together. What surprised her was her daughter's request. Now it felt like a family of three going out to play. Now she was making a willful request at such a dangerous time. She was very concerned about her daughter's current thoughts.

It seemed that Xilin just wanted to have fun, without any worry or sadness on her face. She carried Shen Yunie and Leah through the busy areas. There were many people in the downtown area. Some people suddenly noticed that the young man on the wanted list was walking past them, but he disappeared the next moment.

They couldn't help rubbing their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

Shen Yunie was consuming his own Honkai energy. Whenever someone was about to discover him, he would disappear from that person's sight. The concentration of Honkai energy in the city had reached a limit. It did not blend with the air, but floated in the air. He was using the Honkai energy to create an illusion of a dream.

Just like Rita's hiding ability, the principle is the same, but she does it better than me. Shen Yunie can only hide in front of ordinary people. People with Honkai energy can easily find him, and they can see him carefully.

It's just what my sister wants. I have time to rest and recover, but it's rare to leave good memories for my sister, so Shen Yunie is willing to release the collapse energy continuously.

Xilin, who was totally unaware of this, was thinking about where to go. It was a blessing to have her brother and mother around to play with her. The girl stopped in front of a large-scale video game arcade, looking around and wondering whether she should go in. Finally, she shook her head and pulled the two of them away, "I've already played games at home, it's boring to go play again. Let's go see something we haven't seen before."

"There are still many things I haven't seen yet. You don't have to see them all at once." Shen Yunie said to her, his fluffy black hair was released due to the release of the collapse energy, and the sweat continued to flow out and evaporate, causing his hair to become soft. His mental state was fine. Seeing Leah looking at him with worry, he responded with a faint smile.

Xilin turned around and saw that he didn't seem to like it, so she reached out and ruffled his hair. "Today is the day. Although I know I can't finish watching it all, the more I can watch, the better."

"Why?" Leah asked softly.

"Because it will be very dangerous. If we don't take a closer look, it may take a long time for such an opportunity to come. Didn't Shen Yunie say that the people from the headquarters have already arrived?" The girl answered casually and prevaricated without giving the two a chance to think. She had already thought of what to do, and her little face showed a pure and happy smile, "Mom, let's go boating. How about boating on the beach?"

"Go ahead." Shen Yunie and Liya answered at the same time. It was dark and autumn, and it was not a good decision to make this choice, but as long as the three of them were together, they would be happy.

"Let's go!" Xilin cheered.

In the crowd, someone vaguely saw the boy on the wanted list appear in front of him. Just as he was about to shout, he found that the boy disappeared from his sight the next second.

In Lion City Harbor, Shen Yunie was racing, and after searching for an empty lane, the speed never dropped below 100 mph. Xilin was sitting in the passenger seat this time. She opened the window completely and felt the wind whistling in her ears. Her small body was pressed against the seat, and her face turned pale from the wind, but she still had an excited expression.

Leia sat in the back seat and looked at the two of them helplessly, her mind wavering between whether to stop them from doing such a dangerous thing or not. Because of her hesitation, Shen Yunie had already taken Xilin to the end, and she would become a bad mother who indulged her child.

The place Shen Yunie was looking for was an abandoned industrial area in the harbor, otherwise he would not be able to get to the beach in the fastest time. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator, and turned the steering wheel in one direction. The tires locked and rubbed against the ground, making a hissing sound. A deep black mark appeared on the asphalt ground, and then it slid for dozens of meters and stopped.

"Let's go, we're already at the beach." He unbuckled his seat belt in a calm tone.

It took Xilin a long time to come back to her senses from the sudden brakes just now. A smile gradually appeared on her little face that was pale from the wind. She pushed the car door open, and when she jumped out, she staggered a few steps with her legs still a little weak, then cheered and ran towards the coast.

Shen Yunie walked to the back seat with a smile on her face, opened the door, and made an elegant gesture to Leah, "Please get out of the car."

"How could you take Xilin so crazy?" Leah said in a chastising tone, holding his hand and getting out of the car, then leaning in and kissing the boy on the forehead. The blaming emotion disappeared from her face, "But you are a very responsible brother."

"Shen Yunie, Mom! I found the boat!" Xilin's voice came from a distance. Shen Yunie didn't say anything but just pinched the beautiful woman's little hand. The two went to check together.

The girl was sitting on an old wooden boat. All the iron boats on the coast were locked, and this worthless wooden boat was the only one left unlocked. With two wooden oars connected, Xilin reached out and tried to push it, but found it extremely difficult. The boat didn't go far, and finally she looked up and asked for help from the two people on the shore.

"Let me do it." Shen Yunie said with a smile, hugging Leah's body and jumping onto the wooden boat. His body was so light that it seemed as if he didn't exist, and landing on the boat only caused it to shake a few times.

On a boat, Xilin sat at the front, Leah sat in the middle and Shen Yunie was at the end rowing. Seeing the girl stand up and prepare to face the wind, he comforted her and said, "Sit tight, or you will fall off."

Xilin sat down obediently, and then the wooden boat was rowed. The wooden paddle pushed the water and slid forward for dozens of meters. They had already left the harbor. In front of the girl was the dark blue deep sea. In the night, the city in the distance was like a star flashing a faint light.

There was no image of the sea in her memory. The girl felt that it was because she was always on land that she could not even imagine what the sea looked like. But now she finally saw it. Is this the sea? It was even more beautiful than she had imagined.

The girl's mind suddenly appeared with white snowfields and metal towers. She couldn't feel the temperature but could tell at a glance how cold the environment was. There was also an iron operating table, with unwashed blood stains on it, which turned dark red. The young and hoarse screams continued to ring out, like begging for mercy or shouting in despair.

The picture disappeared. Xilin stared blankly ahead. She opened her lips and whispered softly, "Shen Yunie, Mom, what day is today?"

Leah turned back to look at the boy. Shen Yunie took out her phone, opened it and took a look before answering, "The 30th. Tomorrow will officially be the end of autumn."

"Okay, then I'll make today my birthday!" Xilin stood up, finally facing the wind. The girl smiled as beautiful as a flower, knowing that her decision would not be rejected by the two. She had seen birthday scenes on TV but had never really experienced it.

Moreover, those scenes of eating cake and throwing herself into the arms of her family were too ordinary. Xilin wanted to leave unforgettable memories for her birthday.

The boat was shaking, and Shen Yunie hurriedly tried to control the oars to unfold, but the center of gravity shifted to Xilin who was standing in front. The boat flipped to the left, and the three were about to fall into the water. Before that, Leah had returned to the space.

"Puff-"

219. The Last Day

On the bench by the harbor, Xilin tried to shake her head to get rid of all the water clinging to her hair. She handled it like a drowned cat, and looked a little silly. Then she covered her head with a towel and wiped it gently. It was Shen Yunie who did it. There was another towel on the bench for him to wipe himself.

The two of them fell into the water just now. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and pulled Xilin out of the water. However, the wooden boat sank into the water. It was not locked and looked old, so it must have been abandoned, so no compensation was required.

Leah appeared, and seeing that the little boy didn't care about herself, she simply picked up a towel to wipe his hair, "You two kids are so naughty."

There was a hint of mirth in her tone. She hid in the space to avoid falling into the water. Leah didn't want to get her body wet. It would be much more troublesome to dry it. Shen Yunie was helpless. She had clearly warned Xilin not to stand up, but she didn't listen in the end, which led to her falling into the water.

Xilin pouted under the towel, grabbed the towel on her head and wiped herself, "Well, I know I was wrong."

There was still a smile on her face. She didn't feel any worse after falling into the water. She was still very happy. And this apology didn't seem like she wouldn't do it again next time. Xilin didn't care because she knew the next time would be a long time later.

She wiped the water stains off her long purple hair, and the wet strands stuck together to her face. Her light golden eyes flashed with a strange look, as if she was thinking about what to do next.

Shen Yunie beside him had almost finished wiping his hair and changed into a new set of clothes. He looked at his sister with confusion.

The night was like a black cloth and the stars were like broken diamonds. The night was moving. The three people sitting on the bench on the harbor road fell into silence. Shen Yunie and Liya were waiting for Xilin to tell them the next action and then think about whether it was feasible. Judging from the situation that Shen Yunie drove her to the beach, there was no need to think too much.

Leah rested her chin on the little boy's back, smiled and said, "Since it's your birthday, let's go buy a cake."

Buying cakes for birthdays is not a custom. Yune never buys cakes for his birthday because he doesn’t like sweet things. But since she is a daughter, it must be different.

When she said this, Xilin was looking at the sky. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and smiled at the two of them. "Okay, but let's play for a while. Shen Yunie and mom will go buy a cake, and then we will play hide-and-seek."

"Xilin, are you going to hide?" Shen Yunie was stunned for a few seconds and then his expression became much more serious. He was willing to accompany his sister to play, but she was still hiding something from him. It would make him very sad if she disappeared alone. He quickly restrained his seriousness, picked up a strand of the girl's purple hair and said, "If there is anything, tell us. If you hide and disappear, we will be angry."

"Yeah." Leah also agreed, her eyes were calm but her tone was firm. Because I knew she would leave, so when I heard such words, many thoughts popped up in my mind.

She would be very sad if her daughter left, but if she left silently it would leave her with greater pain.

Xilin lowered her eyelashes, and she felt a little uncomfortable with the serious tone when she smiled. After a long time, the girl raised her head with a gleam in her light golden eyes, and said with an unusually firm smile: "I will not disappear. After you buy the cake and find me, I will still be here.

Come on, hurry up, if you delay it will be early morning."

She stood up after she finished speaking, looking around for a place to hide. Shen Yunie and Liya looked at each other, Xilin would not lie to them, so they put their minds at ease. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and if hide-and-seek was going to take time, it would end today.

"Remember to find me as soon as possible. Mom has telepathy so it should be quick." Xilin did not forget to remind the two before leaving. She had a smiling expression but it didn't look like she wanted to be found quickly. Maybe she just wanted to be happy watching the two of them looking for her in this game of hide-and-seek.

"Don't run too far." Leah touched her head and smiled helplessly as she saw her daughter disappear quickly under the moonlight. Looking at the little boy beside her, "Come on, let's go buy a cake."

She put her hand into the little boy's palm to dispel the slight chill. Shen Yunie came back to her senses and squeezed the hand, "Hmm."

Xilin knew that she was not good at hiding her emotions, so they still found her. She was leaving tonight, and the countdown numbers appeared in her mind, accurate to every second. This month's experience would come to an end tonight, so she regarded today as her birthday.

She also hated leaving without saying goodbye, because that would make both parties sad. Besides, she hadn't been with her mother long enough, and her relationship with Shen Yunie had gradually improved. She hadn't enjoyed enough of that. It was just that she needed time to accept the reality that she was leaving. Today was her last day, and she didn't want to spend it in sadness and tears.

"Where should I go?" The girl put her hands in her pockets. The street lights were so bright that she couldn't see clearly in the distance. She felt a little confused.

She has already accepted the reality, and the soul she got from her mother has been almost consumed. Although she can consume more, she is unwilling to do so.

That would cause Mom to die quickly. There was no solution. No matter how hard Shen Yunie tried, she couldn't slow down the speed of their death.

“Anyway, Brother Shen…he will promise me that we won’t have to pay any price when we meet again in the future.”

Xilin changed her words subconsciously, and the girl realized that this word was a bit magical. When she read it out loud, she would think of a tall and straight young man, and she would also have a sense of security.

If she had known this would happen, she would have shouted earlier, but with her personality, she would definitely not have been willing to give in.

Maybe Shen Yunie would even call her sister. A sister who is taken care of... She thinks it's better to be a younger sister, it's not so embarrassing.

Her pale golden eyes were dyed with the flickering colors of neon lights. Xilin stopped in front of the huge entrance. A neon sign erected not far away was flashing with the words "Seaside Amusement Park" in large letters. Even though there were no tourists, the Hom doll was still standing there professionally with a big smirk on its face.

She was attracted by the gorgeous environment inside, including the carousel, bumper cars, and the gorgeously decorated Ferris wheel and roller coaster. Xilin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, wondering why she didn't come across this place earlier, otherwise she would have let the two of them accompany her to play here for a day.

It's not too late to talk now. The girl's eyes lit up, she was confident that the two would find her as soon as possible, her long purple hair was blown by the wind, she walked towards the amusement park.

Shen Yunie was waiting for the cake. This pastry shop was located by the harbor. The cakes in the display cabinet were gorgeous but did not suit Xilin's temperament. Perhaps he had a premonition that his sister was about to leave so he wanted to give her the best.

The two female shop assistants behind the counter were looking at him with bewildered eyes, holding their phones tightly as if they were about to make a call. The man on the wanted poster was right in front of them, which frightened them, but the man came to buy the cake in a gentle tone and signaled them not to call the police.

The reward was so high that people could not help but imagine what kind of vicious person this good-looking boy was. So they did not dare to make a call, and the other party did not do anything to them, but just asked the pastry chef to make him a cake.

The boy looked at the pastry chef, who was sweating and looking up at him every time he performed an action, and consoled him, "Don't be afraid. If your hands are shaking, you have to redo it. I'm in a hurry."

"Okay, okay... I'm sorry." The girl who made the pastry was also a young girl. She was already filled with fear. No matter what the other party said, she would tremble with fear. She was using the blended lavender cream to frame the outer circle. She gritted her teeth and told herself to calm down, fearing that she would be killed if she made a mistake.

She saw a white sweat towel handed to her from the corner of her eye, and she subconsciously reached out to take it, "Thank you, thank you..."

The pastry chef wiped the sweat from her head, her trembling heart barely calmed down, and then the expression on her face froze. She slowly turned her head to look at the boy next to her, and saw that he was taking back the sweat towel he had handed to her.

"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to take it!" The pastry chef was so scared that she almost cried. She shrank back and the cream sprayed on the ground, but the cake was not damaged. She looked at the boy, her eyes almost became two wavy fried eggs, and tears kept falling.

Shen Yunie rubbed his brows with his knuckles, as if to smooth out his frown. He opened his mouth and sighed helplessly, "Let's make the cake. I'm really in a hurry. Please."

The cake was finally done. It was a lavender cylinder with a few white flowers on it. In the center, a little man in black clothes, white skirt and purple hair stood there. It was made according to what Xilin was wearing at the time. The pastry chef was too scared, so there were some flaws in the facial features, but there was nothing wrong with the golden eyes and smile.

After paying the price for the custom cake, Shen Yunie left the pastry shop. He didn't care whether the other party would call someone to arrest him. He was completely focused on finding Xilin. Leah, who was walking with him, had the same idea and looked around to find her daughter as soon as possible.

It’s a waste of time to order it by order. It’s already 11 o’clock in the morning.

Leah's eyes quickly locked onto the building in the distance, the amusement park that was about to close. She poked the little boy's arm with her elbow and said, "Found it."

This is the power of telepathy between mother and daughter. Her intuition told her that her daughter was inside.

"The amusement park is closing, so she might not be able to play anything."

"You can play it." Shen Yunie replied. He held Leah's hand tightly and walked towards the amusement park, looking at the sleepy staff.

220. No one can hurt you

Xilin sat on one of the merry-go-rounds. The dim light made the colorful pony appear pitch black, and it would not move. The girl was cheering as she sat on it, but when she found that it would not move, she felt a little disappointed. She patted its head angrily and jumped off it, "Stupid merry-go-round."

Even on her birthday, many things in the world just didn't work for her.

Not only it won't move, everything in the amusement park won't move. It's already closing time, the go-karts are locked, the pendulum is down, not to mention the Ferris wheel and roller coaster. Xilin pursed her lips to show her dissatisfaction with everything. She wanted her brother and mother to find her quickly so that she could vent her dissatisfaction.

The girl turned around and prepared to leave. Since the two men couldn't find her, she decided to go find them herself.

Suddenly, a faint melody sounded in her ears. In just a few seconds, it became clearer and clearer. Xilin's clear eyes reflected the shining neon lights, and she suddenly realized that the whole amusement park was lit up.

The carousel was spinning, the Ferris wheel was rising, and the mechanical Hoom doll was driven to wave its arms. The girl was stunned for a few seconds and then a smile of joy from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face. She cheered and turned back to run towards the carousel.

At the entrance of the Seaside Amusement Park, the staff stared blankly at the figure of the young man entering the amusement park. He was the person on the wanted list. Judging from the amount of the reward, he was a vicious person, but he came here not to cause trouble but to offer a high price to let them run the amusement park again.

After calling the boss, the other party agreed without hesitation because the money the boy gave was the park's weekly turnover.

Due to the recent epidemic, fewer people come to crowded places like amusement parks, so the daily cost of maintaining equipment is far higher than the turnover. If this amusement park delays any further, it will go bankrupt.

The boss doesn't care what kind of villain he is, as long as he can save his life, otherwise he will die with a huge debt.

"He really values ​​money over his life." The staff member cursed inwardly, staring blankly at the boy's back, hoping that he didn't plant a bomb or something. Then after hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to make a phone call. He didn't say he couldn't call the police, right?

Thinking that he would receive a large sum of money and no longer have to work for others, that person couldn't help but rub his hands with joy.

Silin sat on the wooden horse, which could now truly be called a merry-go-round, and she also discovered how pretty the pony she had chosen was, with pink curly hair on its head, a long horn protruding, and wings on the sides of its body.

The girl was secretly delighted with her excellent aesthetic taste. The carousel kept rising and falling, and the cloud decorations around it gave people the feeling of flying in the sky, but Xilin was not brought into this environment.

This feeling is very comfortable, but she is a person who likes excitement, and her eyes reveal a longing look when she falls on the roller coaster in the distance.

Before she knew it, another person sat on the two-seater pony. He placed his chin on her shoulder and leaned close to her earlobe, "I found you. Why did you come here alone?"

It's mom. Xilin quickly recognized the voice. In her sight, there were several figures standing in front of the pony accompanying her. It seemed that making the entire amusement park run again was Shen Yunie's masterpiece. The most eye-catching thing was the cake in the boy's hand. The purple color represented himself and the white flowers represented his mother, and there was also the not-so-perfect little man who was wearing the same clothes as himself.

The sadness of parting was diluted, and only reluctance remained in her heart. The corners of the girl's mouth rose, and she murmured softly: "I am so lucky to have you."

The carousel had already turned several circles under the beautiful melody. Shen Yunie also moved from following beside them to sitting on the pony in front of them. The unicorn covered with golden armor was obviously prepared for boys. He rode the cartoon unicorn, giving people the feeling of a boy who would never grow up.

Time passed, and no one mentioned the cake. They just sat down with Xilin in silence until the girl got tired and jumped down.

The three of them walked out of the carousel. Xilin suddenly turned around and fell into Leah's arms. She hugged her slender waist and buried her face in her chest. After a while, she raised her body. The mother and daughter whispered to each other in their ears.

Liya was in a daze at first, then her expression became complicated as she looked at her daughter, and then leaned over to whisper something in her ear. A look of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and the two continued to speak in a voice that Shen Yunie could not hear. Liya smiled and stroked her daughter's soft long hair, and all her emotions returned to calm.

"Where are we going next?" Shen Yunie asked, looking at the mother and daughter holding hands. The whole amusement park was running because of them. To outsiders and surveillance cameras, it was just a good-looking boy sitting alone on the carousel in a daze for a long time, occasionally saying something and laughing.

In addition, he is still wanted, and many people looking at him probably can't help but say: "Isn't this a lunatic?"

Xilin didn't feel anything for the Ferris wheel, which was full of atmosphere. Instead, she longed for the roller coaster, which had several 360-degree turns in a row, which gave her a thrilling feeling. She pointed at the already dim entrance and said longingly, "Let's go ride that."

Shen Yunie was about to leave, but Liya did not follow them and went back to the space. He was about to speak in confusion, but heard the other party explain: "I'm a little tired, I'll stay here and watch you, and the roller coaster is so thrilling that it's not suitable for me."

"Let's go!" Xilin hugged the boy's arm. She didn't react much to her mother's departure. There was still a happy smile on her little face.

"Don't you want to eat the cake? It's almost twelve o'clock." Shen Yunie lowered his eyes and looked at his phone. It was eleven forty. After riding the roller coaster, there would not be enough time to celebrate. He preferred to eat first and then ride. With their tolerance, it was nothing.

Xilin rolled her beautiful eyes, smiled and said casually: "Let's eat upstairs."

Shen Yunie couldn't help but smile at his sister's joking words. The roller coaster was so fast that even if he had a good grip, the cake might be deformed under the impact. The girl turned her head and looked at him, her eyes full of confidence, as if she was the one holding the cake.

Then she said something helpless: "Can you get it, brother?"
