Collapse: The World I Live In

In a hospital in China, a clear cry of a baby, like the sound of nature, marked the birth of the protagonist of this book - Yi.

This boy, as a time traveler, did not have a so-called system like other time travelers. He just took a sip of Mengpo soup when crossing Mengpo Bridge, thus retaining some memories of his previous life.

"What... is going on? I traveled through time? How could this happen to me?" The newborn boy blinked his curious eyes and looked at the haggard woman in front of him. The woman smiled at him lovingly and said, "This is my son. From today on, your name is Yi."

Then Yi suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming like a tide. His heavy eyelids seemed to be pressed by a heavy burden, and he could not help but slowly close his eyes. In his ears, there seemed to be a mysterious and ethereal voice, as if it was a call from a distant time and space: "People from another world, welcome to this world..."

…………

9 years passed in a flash. With his wisdom and talent beyond other children, Yi stood out among his peers. He never worried his parents and was always well-behaved and sensible. And in that year, Yi's sister, the girl named Xi, was born. Looking at this newborn little girl, Yi felt the reality of the world for the first time and also appreciated the beauty of life, which was as gorgeous as the blooming spring flowers and as peaceful as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves.

When he was ten years old, Yi lost his father forever. This was the first time he faced the cruelty of life. At that time, his father's body lay quietly on the bed in the hospital, with purple lines all over his body. Although the young Yi didn't understand why, he was still uneasy because of this scene. His eyes turned from black to red in an instant, and a jade-shaped star appeared. At that moment, he made up his mind to protect his sister and mother in this cruel world.

……

Time flies, Yi has grown into a handsome boy with black hair and black eyes. He is studying in a high school in the Far East with excellent grades.

"Classmates, we have a new student in our class today. Let's welcome her with warm applause!" A girl with rose-red hair and golden eyes walked up to the podium amid the applause of the classmates, "Hello everyone, my name is Eden, and I like music." Yi, who was lying on the desk, raised his head, and at this time, the girl's voice came over. Eden smiled at Yi, and Yi quickly turned his head to look out the window, but his red ears exposed his shyness.

"Student Yidian, please sit next to student Yi." "Okay." After saying that, Yidian happily walked to sit next to Yi and greeted him warmly: "Hello." Yi responded politely as if nothing had happened: "Hello."

"It's time for class." As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Yi lowered his head, took out his cell phone, and started poking at it non-stop. Yiden glanced at him and whispered, "Classmate, aren't you listening?" Yi raised his head and glanced at Yiden, then lowered his head again and muttered, "What the teacher said is of no use to me, I might as well do something I like."

Eden was a little surprised, but didn't say much. He smiled at Chong Yi and continued to listen to the class attentively.

As soon as the bell rang, a group of girls gathered around Yiden, asking him questions all at once. Yiden felt annoyed when he heard the noise, and stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Oh, he is worthy of being the uncrowned king of the school, so cold (?_?)" a female classmate next to him sighed.

"The uncrowned king?" Eden asked with curiosity.

"It's classmate Yi. He's amazing! Not only has he always been number one in the grade, leaving the second place far behind, he is also the ace player of the school's archery club. He is handsome and also knows music. The piano piece he played at the school celebration was super beautiful, and it seemed to be an original piece! He has been admitted to a prestigious university in advance! It seems that there is nothing he can't do. Geniuses are really different from us! (′?w?)" said another female classmate.

"Original music, what a genius." Eden smiled.

Time passed quickly, and school was over in a blink of an eye. Yi packed up his things and prepared to go to the archery club. He saw a beautiful figure standing at the door of the classroom. In the afterglow of the setting sun, her rose-red hair was particularly beautiful, and her golden eyes were even more dazzling.

"Yidian, can I call you that?" Eden's voice was soft and gentle, making people feel relaxed. "Of course..." Yi was a little surprised.

“Do you like music?”

"What?"

“Do you like music?”

"Like, like. What's wrong?" Maybe it was because he hadn't talked to girls other than his sister and mother for a long time, so Yi spoke with a stutter.

"Are you free now? Would you mind talking to me about it?"

"It might work."

"Then come with me." After saying that, Yiden took Yi's hand and ran towards the music classroom. This girl was very strange. Her words made it hard to refuse. Yi did not resist her and let the girl hold his hand and run forward.

Arrived at the music classroom.

"Why can you use a classroom alone?" Yi was very curious. If he was not very outstanding or had a high status, it would be impossible for him to use a classroom alone.

"How should I put it? Maybe it's because I'm a top student in music. The school agreed to let me use a classroom alone."

"I see, what do you want to hear?" Yi asked, "Can you play your original music for me?" Eden said. "No problem." Yi replied.

Yi sat on the piano bench, and his slender fingers danced on the piano.

Following the rhythm of the music, Eden also closed his eyes and hummed along with the music. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, and there was no excessive movement between the two of them. Everything was so natural.

After the performance, Eden opened his eyes and said, "Excellent piece of music. What's its name?"

"River Flows in You. This is not my original creation. This song just appeared in my mind." Yi replied. Yi was right. This was not Yi's original creation. This was a song from Yi's previous life. It was one of the few remaining memories of Yi's previous life.

"Well... but that also came from your mind. Without you, there would be no such excellent music in the world." Eden smiled and said, "Then, classmate Yi, can you be my friend?" Yi looked at Eden in shock. He didn't expect Eden to be friends with a "freak" like him.

Yi returned home, still shocked that he had talked to a beautiful transfer student and even became friends with her.

Yi walked to the sofa and lay on it, still not recovered.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Yi's sister, Xi, a girl with short hair with a little red at the ends, said to Yi.

"No, it's okay. It's just a little unbelievable. Your brother actually made friends at school." Yi sat up, resting his chin with his hand, and said.

"Female?" Xi looked at her brother and asked speechlessly. "My lovely sister, do you have the ability to read minds? Why do you always guess so accurately?"

That’s right, Yi is two different people at school and at home. At school, he is a socially anxious teenage genius, and at home, he is a frivolous brother.

"Oh, what a worrying brother he is." Xi looked at his brother who was grinning foolishly on the sofa and sighed helplessly.
