Collapse: The World I Live In

"Why did Ailian come here?" Eden bent down and asked Ailian.

"I feel like these two are different from that group of people," Ailian replied, "I'm also different from that group of kids."

"Different? What's different?" Eden asked puzzledly.

"Their parents are warriors who sacrificed their lives in the Fire Moth Chaser... and my father... is a sinner..." Ailian lowered her head and said, "Yinfeng... you should know..."

When he heard the name, Yi suddenly remembered the priest he met in Europe, the enemy of Fire Moth.

"Besides...those people are just ignorant kids..." Ailian turned her head away and whispered, "So...I think it's good to be alone..."

"But... childhood memories should be very important for the future..." Eden persuaded them that they were adults and would not discriminate against Ailian because of her father.

"I don't need any memories. After I leave the orphanage, I can make friends with people from other places." Ailian said, looking at the sky.

"This is not easy. From what we see now, the children who leave the Fire Moth Orphanage will generally go to a school, and... there are not many schools now..." Yi broke Ailian's fantasy and said, after all, there is not much land left for humans now.

"Is that so?" Ailian seemed to have expected this. At this moment, she showed a worry that was not appropriate for her age. She clenched her fists and said, "I really did something stupid..."

"What happened?" Yi squatted down and asked Ailian.

"There have been a few times in the past where they have excluded others, but it always ended in the end, and then people would start talking again. There would always be someone taking the lead, and then everyone would show that kind of atmosphere. This kind of thing kept repeating, and eventually it came to me unknowingly, but this time they don't seem to be going to stop." Ai Lian said dejectedly, "It's not because of what I did... It's just because my father... is a sinner... Will my future life... be like this?"

Eden and Yi were both silent. They didn't expect that a child of the same age as Grace would have such troubles.

Before they knew it, it was already dusk, and Eden, Yi, and Alicia returned to the Fire Moth.

"Is it really okay?" Eden asked.

"Have you encountered any problems?" Mebius asked the three people who were lost in thought. That night, Mebius specially brought the three auspicious treasures from the laboratory back to the Golden Courtyard, but saw that the three people looked worried.

"There is an orphaned child in the orphanage." Alicia said listlessly, lying on the table.

"That's really pitiful..." Danzhu sighed.

"Alas, Ailishia, being alone is not a bad thing in itself. The real problem is being isolated because of malicious intentions." Yi said to Ailishia.

"So, what are you going to do?" asked Mebius.

"I want to do as much as I can to help her!" Alicia slammed the table and said.

"Forget it, Ailiya, it's not your turn to take action now. Those children are all around you. If you take the initiative to look for Aili, it will only cause more trouble." Yi interrupted Ailiya.

"Ah..." Alicia was very disappointed. This was the first time they saw Alicia so disappointed.

"Then leave it to Yi and me tomorrow," said Eden.

……

The next day, morning.

"Wake up! Yi! It's time to get up!" Yi opened his eyes after hearing someone calling him, and found that Alicia was riding on him. Fortunately, he was wrapped in a quilt, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Finally woke up! Let's get ready to go. This time, Mobius also sent Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu to assist us. I originally wanted to borrow Klein, but Mobius wouldn't allow it." Alicia said regretfully.

"Do you think everyone is as idle as you?" Yi said.

……

This time five people came to the orphanage, and this time a few people went to the Xia Liying location on the mountain.

"Why do I have to do this job?" Yi complained while moving wood, although it was nothing for a fusion warrior.

Yi didn't see Alicia and the other three. He walked deeper into the woods and found a stream. He saw Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu playing in the stream in their swimsuits.

"What are you doing...By the way, where did the swimsuit come from!" Yi couldn't help but complain.

"These are prepared by Alicia!" Danzhu posed towards Yi and said, "How do you think?"

Yi looked at Danzhu's skinny body and said, "Hmm, very cute, very cute."

"Huh, so perfunctory." Danzhu said with obvious dissatisfaction.

"This is normal. After all, your skinny body is really nothing to look at." Cang Xuan said from the side.

"What qualifications do you have to say that to me!" Danzhu roared at Cangxuan.

"Hey, Yi has finished his work." Alicia also came out in her swimsuit and said.

"By the way, this shouldn't be our purpose, right?" Yi couldn't help but complain.

"We finally get out, so let's have some fun. There are special teachers here to teach the kids about precautions. We'll be there soon." After saying that, Alicia scooped up a handful of water and poured it towards Yi.

"..."Yi didn't dodge and was soaked like a drowned chicken.

"Don't bother with Alicia~" Eden said with a smile as he brushed away Yi's wet bangs. Since Alicia had changed into her swimsuit, there was no reason for Eden not to change as well.

"The most beautiful girl in the world~Eden." Yi said to Eden with a smile.

"I don't buy it~" Eden said with a smile, turning sideways.

Yi, who had no swimsuit, could only stay under the shade of the tree and watch the four girls playing.

At this time, Ailian suddenly came over and sat down next to Yi.

"Why are you staying alone?" Ailian asked Yi.

"I don't have a swimsuit." Yi replied and looked at Ailian, "What about you?"

"After the teacher finished the class, no one was left..." Ailian said while hugging her legs.

"Ailian, do you want to come and play with us?" Alicia asked Ailian.

Ailian didn't say anything, just shook her head.

"Hey, Yi..." Ailian looked at Yi and asked.

"Why did it come to me directly?" Yi complained.

"Do you have any friends that you have had since elementary school?" Ailian asked.

"No, it's probably the same as most people. For me, it really started in high school." Yi replied, "So you don't have to worry about it. When you grow up, you will naturally never see them again..."

"Yi, are you the only one like this?" Alicia couldn't help but say.

"I feel the same way~" Yiden also said, "I haven't been in touch with my childhood friends for a long time. Yi and I also knew each other in high school."

"Us too!" Danzhu and Cangxuan raised their hands and said.

"Ah? Ailian, it's just that these people are special!" Alicia said hurriedly.

"What you said, Ai Lishiya, it seems like you have never been to school~" Yi said to Ai Lishiya.

"...What's it to you?" Alicia immediately yelled at Yi.

"But... my mother hopes that I can make more friends..." Ailian said as she looked at the camera in her hand, "This is what my mother bought for me before she passed away. She hoped that I could get along well with my friends in the future, so she left me this camera, hoping to record those beautiful moments... But... now... I haven't taken a single photo... Isn't this a bit too miserable... But, I really don't have any other choice..."

"Why?" Cang Xuan asked.

"Because my father... is the opposite of their father. Maybe their father died because of my father... No matter what I do, they are unwilling to accept me, so I will never be able to get along with them..." Ailian said with her head lowered, "But I have never seen my father... Why should I bear his sins... So... let's just keep the status quo..." Ailian has never seen her father since she can remember. She only knows from her mother that her father's name is Yanfeng.

"Really?" Yi touched Ailian's head. This child has seen through everything. [As long as you change yourself, the world will change?] How can this be possible? People judge others based on their inherent concepts and impressions. Ailian's father is a sinner, so she is the child of a sinner, so Ailian is also a sinner. Even if Ailian tries hard to change others' impression of her, she will only become ammunition to attack you. This is the rotten rule in the kingdom of children.

"Well, don't you want to be so miserable?" Yi stood up and looked at Ailian and said.

"Hmm..." Ailian nodded.

"Then... after this event is over, I will give you a surprise!" Yi said with a smile.

Among the few people, only Eden understood what Yi meant.

Time flies, and it's night.

Eden and Yi were lying on the bed. Eden looked at Yi and said, "Are you going to adopt that child?"

"It turns out you understand me best, Eden." Yi said with a smile.

"I knew this was your plan. How long will it take you to prepare?" Eden asked. Of course, she supported Yi's decision.

"Let's wait until this event is over... I may not be able to come tomorrow because I have to go to Vilvi's place with Mebius and the others." Yi said.

"Really?" Eden looked at Yi and asked.

"Of course it's true!" Yi replied.

"Then I'll make sure you don't have the energy to think about those things tomorrow." After saying that, Eden kissed Yi...
