Collapse: The opening system captures the Herrscher of Knowledge

In the open space, Fu Ming looked at the wooden house that was burning with raging fire. Kiana☆ also walked aside silently, reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Fu Ming's clothes.

Looking down, I saw Kiana☆ standing quietly by the side, her face covered with cigarette ash, her hair disheveled, and she looked very disheveled.

Fu Ming suppressed the corners of his mouth and asked with concern:

"Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"I...I'm fine."

Kiana☆ lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was just trying to get something to eat, I didn't expect it to be like this."

The flames burning nearby flared up, emitting bright light that illuminated the faces of the two men.

Fu Ming gave a helpless smile, gently wiped off the cigarette ash on Kiana's face, and gently reminded:

"Be careful next time and don't burn down the house again."

Kiana☆ nodded obediently, with a playful smile on her lips, and then a gust of cold wind blew, making her shiver uncontrollably, and she asked softly:

"Hey, Fu Ming, where should we live next?"

Seeing this, Fu Ming took off his coat and put it on Kiana☆'s shoulders. After thinking for a while, he replied with a slightly hesitant tone:

"Well, I know of a place where we can live, not far from here."

"Yeah!"

Kiana☆ clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and urged impatiently:

"Then let's go over there quickly!"

Fu Ming smiled and shook his head, picked up Siegfried, and walked slowly towards the distance with Kiana☆.

A few hours later...

Kiana☆ stopped and rubbed her sore legs. She couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously hugged her coat tighter around her shoulders to keep herself warm.

But when he saw Fu Ming's coat on his body, he suddenly reacted, looked at the thinly dressed Fu Ming in front of him, and asked worriedly:

"Fu Ming, aren't you cold?"

Fu Ming heard Kiana☆'s voice, turned around, looked at Kiana☆ who looked worried, smiled and said:

"It's not cold. I'm in good health. This little bit of cold is nothing."

This is true. At this moment, Fu Ming is radiating heat from the inside out, so this little bit of coldness is nothing.

After saying that, Fu Ming continued to move forward.

Kiana☆ didn't believe it, and trotted to Fu Ming's side, returned her coat to Fu Ming, and said with her arms folded across her chest:

"I'm not that cold either. I'll return your clothes to you."

Fu Ming looked at Kiana☆, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"I'm really not cold, put it on."

"But....."

Fu Ming interrupted Kiana☆ and said firmly:

"No buts."

"Well then...thank you."

Kiana☆ hesitated for a moment, but still put on the coat.

Fu Ming watched Kiana☆ put on her coat, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but when he saw Kiana☆'s face still red from the cold, he couldn't help but stop.

Fu Ming slowly walked up to Kiana, gently picked her up with one hand, and held her in his arms.

Kiana☆ was startled by this sudden action and struggled, shouting:

"What are you going to do!"

Kiana☆'s voice was filled with fear and shyness, but Fu Ming did not let her go. Instead, he hugged Kiana☆ tighter and said softly:

"Don't talk, it'll be warmer this way."

After hearing Fu Ming's words, Kiana☆'s voice became smaller and smaller. She stopped struggling and stayed quietly in his arms, feeling the heat radiating from Fu Ming's body. That warmth gradually calmed her heart.

However, this heat also made Kiana☆'s cheeks slightly red, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Fu Ming's eyes, for fear that he would discover her embarrassment and shyness at the moment.

As time passed, Kiana☆ found that she actually liked this feeling. Compared with her father's hug, this experience was completely different.

Kiana☆ gradually adapted to Fu Ming's embrace, feeling his warmth, and her originally tense body gradually relaxed.

But her heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster, causing her to feel a strange emotion.

Being too young to understand what this feeling meant, she could only regard it as a special feeling and bury it deep in her heart.

Kiana☆ raised her head and said softly:

"Thanks......"

Fu Ming smiled, then continued forward, carrying Siegfried in one hand and holding Kiana in the other.

Time passed minute by minute. I didn't know how long I had been walking before a simple hut finally appeared in front of me.

Fu Ming looked at the dilapidated hut, a hint of deepness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and said to Kiana in his arms:

"Kiana☆, we're here."

However, the girl in his arms did not respond.

Fu Ming lifted the coat covering Kiana's face with some confusion, only to find that Kiana had fallen asleep at some point, with a happy smile on her face and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

Seeing this scene, Fu Ming couldn't help but smile.

Walking to the front of the cottage, Fu Ming gently pushed open the creaking door and walked into the house. A stale smell hit him in the face.

Looking around, Fu Ming frowned slightly, and a sense of emotion surged in his heart. Everything here was so familiar.

Every moment of living here with Xilin comes to my mind as if it were yesterday, but now there is no one here. The place is already deserted, with only dust on the ground.

Fu Ming sighed softly, took out a clean blanket from his backpack, carefully spread it on the shabby bed, then gently placed Kiana on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

Siegfried was thrown casually on a chair nearby.

Fu Ming reached out and gently stroked the shabby bed, as if he could still feel the time he spent with Xilin.

Those not-so-good days made him involuntarily smile bitterly.

Fu Ming stroked his chin and whispered to himself:

"Fortunately, Xilin is alive and well now. There is nothing to regret. But did I forget something important..."

Then, Fu Ming, who couldn't remember what he had forgotten, started to get busy. He found an old broom from the corner and cleaned every corner carefully.

Although the house has been uninhabited for a long time, he still hopes to restore it to its original appearance as much as possible.

Finally, when all the cleaning was completed, Fu Ming slowly breathed a sigh of relief and lay quietly beside the bed.

The sky gradually brightened. Kiana rubbed her eyes and looked around curiously, with a hint of confusion and surprise in her voice.

“I seem to have seen this place in my dreams.”
