Collapse: The World I Live In

"Ah~" Long stretched, showing the perfect curves of her body in front of Yi's eyes, and said to Yi, "Today's handover task is finally completed."

"Yeah... it's really not easy..." Yi couldn't help but sigh. The two of them finished the work that should have been done in the evening in just one afternoon. Their only purpose was to have a good dinner in the evening.

"Then I'll go and book a table at the restaurant. You go pick up your sister first." Long said to Yi, "I'll send you the table when the time comes."

"Okay, see you later." After saying that, Yi prepared to go to Xi's residence to give Xi a surprise! Yi was now looking forward to seeing what Xi looked like now. Would she be excited to see him?

……

I arrived at Xi's residence, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell.

As the door opened, Xi's face appeared in front of Yi. It was different from what Yi had imagined... Xi now looked very haggard... Seeing Xi like this, Yi's smile froze and he asked, "Xi... what happened?"

Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then closed it, bit his lip, and closed the door again.

"Xi!" Feeling something was wrong, Yi knocked on Xi's door, but Xi did not respond to Yi's action. Yi was very confused. Why is this happening? What happened to Xi here? No, I have to investigate. What happened? Yi thought so.

When Xi felt the knocking stop, she slowly sat down against the door, tears falling from her eyes, saying, "Why...why did you come back now...you haven't cared about me for so long, why did you come back!"

As for why Xi became like this, it started a few days ago when a voice suddenly appeared in Xi's mind. That voice told her that as long as she agreed to the conditions of the speaker of that voice, everything could be satisfied, and that only condition was - to destroy mankind... In these days, with this voice and the torture of life, Xi could no longer hold on. She felt that there was a voice in her heart telling her to agree to this condition!

At this moment, Xi raised her head and could see clearly that one of her originally azure eyes had turned red due to the influence of the collapse.

……

In the restaurant's private room,

"What happened? You look so sad." Long was sitting in his seat with a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at Yi who was walking over and asked.

"..." Yi didn't say anything at first. He took the red wine from Long's hand and drank it in one gulp. Then he sat opposite Long and said, "I'm not a good brother..."

"What happened?" Long noticed that something was wrong with Yi and asked quickly.

"..." Thinking of everything Xi had experienced, Yi couldn't help but clench the cup in his hand tightly. With a "click", the cup was crushed by Yi, and blood dripped onto the table along Yi's palm.

"What are you doing?" When Long saw Yi like this, he quickly took out a handkerchief and bandaged Yi's right hand.

"Xi was bullied at school... and as her brother, I knew nothing!" Yi gritted his teeth and said, not only did he hate those who bullied his sister, he also hated himself...

"Then...what are you going to do?" Long asked.

"I will make those people pay the price, and then bring Xi back to me, just like I did to Ying." Yi said.

"To be honest, you could have kept Xi in the Fire Moth. She is also resistant to Honkai and could have become a warrior if possible..." Long returned to his seat and said to Yi.

"Maybe it's out of my selfishness. I didn't want her to go to the battlefield. I just hoped that she could stay safe in a safe place and live a happy life as an ordinary person. But... I didn't expect something like this to happen... It's all my fault..." Yi said with his head down.

"You should know that as long as Honkai exists, there is no absolutely safe place in this world. You also know that things are not peaceful in Australia either..." Long said.

"Alas..." Yi still sighed.

"Don't worry, things will be fine in the future. When we return to the Fire Moth, if you are busy, I will help you take care of your sister. After all, I am a senior executive, and this situation will not happen." Long said.

"Thank you...Long..." Yi said, "But I still have one thing that I am particularly confused about..."

"What's the matter?" Long said.

"Look at this..." After saying that, Yi pushed the phone to Long.

"This is..." Long frowned when he saw the picture on the phone and said, "Is there any problem with the chat history between you and your sister?"

"Look carefully. I was also fooled by this at the beginning. From the 'Xi' who was chatting with me, I couldn't tell that she had any feeling of being bullied... and today I saw Xi again and saw her current appearance... then I realized that the words spoken by the 'Xi' in the phone were too relaxed and gave people the feeling that she was living a good life. But the fact is the opposite. If my sister encountered this situation, she would not behave so calmly..." Yi said slowly.

"You mean someone is pretending to be your sister and chatting with you?" Long said in surprise, "Why do you do that? What is that person's purpose?"

"I just can't figure out this person's purpose, and the number clearly hasn't been changed, but I don't know when it started... I'm really not a competent brother." Yi said and began to blame himself again.

"Okay, okay, here you go. Have a drink. Then I'll accompany you to deal with these things." Long took another glass, poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Yi.

Yi took the red wine, looked at his face reflected in the wine, drank it all in one breath, and said, "Another glass!"

"You drink so quickly, aren't you afraid of getting drunk?" Long said, "Forget it, today I will risk my life to accompany you and drink with you!" After saying that, after refilling Yi's cup, he poured himself another cup and started drinking with Yi.

I don’t know how long I had been drinking, but Yi was already dazed with his hands on the table. He shook his head to sober himself up, then looked up at Long opposite him, who had fallen unconscious on the table. It seemed that Yi could drink more.

"Hey...are you asleep?" Yi couldn't help but ask as he looked at Long who had fallen down opposite him.

But Long did not respond to Yi's question. Yi also knew that Long had drunk too much wine and was already drunk.

He stood up shakily, went to the bathroom to wash his face to wake himself up, then came to Long's side, put her right hand on his shoulder, and slowly helped her up. Yi looked at Long's red face and couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Hey, wake up, it's time to go." Yi patted Long's face tenderly.

"Hmm...hmm~" Long still had her eyes closed and shrank into Yi's arms, making unclear sounds from her mouth.

“……”It seems that the only thing left for me is to rely on myself.

Then, he supported the drunk Long and walked out of the room.

……

"Hey, get two rooms..." Yi took great pains to bring Long to the hotel closest to the restaurant.

The hotel receptionist looked at the two of them, then narrowed his eyes, showed his signature smile and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we only have one room left..."

"What? What a coincidence?" Yi was surprised. Thinking about his churning stomach and the drunk Long, Yi could only agree, "Okay, then, let's open one."

"Sir, your room card."

After receiving the room card, Yi took Long to the room. If you look closely, you can see a faint smile on Long's face as Yi supported him...

"I'm so tired..." Yi put Long on the bed, took a deep breath, and looked around the room. It was luxurious, but... there was only one bed.

Just as he was feeling sleepy and Yi rubbed his eyes, planning to spend the night on the sofa, Long suddenly grabbed Yi's hand, pulled him onto the bed, and then turned over and sat on Yi.

"You, you, you, what are you doing?" Yi said with a blushing face as he faced Long who was sitting on him, trying to get rid of this shameful posture.

"Hmm..." But before Long could answer Yi's question, she fell on Yi again and fell asleep. Although Long was relatively sober before, who knew that it would take Yi so long to go upstairs, which made Long sleepy. So now she was drunk and fell asleep in a daze.

Yi looked at Long lying on him and tried to struggle free, but failed. Long held him very tightly and it was summer, so both of them were wearing very little. Yi could clearly feel that the temperature of the woman in his arms was completely different from the temperature of the air conditioner in the room.

Yi felt the softness on her chest and a fragrance rushing into his nose, and his face involuntarily moved closer to Long's face.

Yi was fascinated by the sleeping beauty, and he kissed Long's forehead lightly in a daze. Then he realized what he had done and turned his head away, while Long hugged Yi tighter.

Finally, Yi couldn't bear the sleepiness anymore and fell asleep. The two of them just slept in the same bed...
