Collapse: The World I Live In

At Eden's residence, Eden took the injured Yi back to the hotel and bought medicine for Yi to bandage his wounds.

Yi looked at the figure in front of him who was busy running around for him, and didn't know what to say. He hadn't seen Eden for a long time, and he couldn't remember exactly how long it had been.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Eden packing up his things. After Eden left the room.

Yi looked at the wound that had been bandaged, got down from the bed, leaned against the wall, and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" When Yi was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice. It turned out that Eden was looking at Yi at the door.

But Yi didn't look at Eden. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Eden... This is not the place for me..."

Eden looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but feel distressed. The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now had dead eyes...

Eden walked to Yi's side and prepared to help Yi back to bed, but was stopped by Yi.

"Eden! Do you know what you are doing!" Yi said while gritting his teeth, "The person in front of you now is a wanted criminal! Do you know how much impact it will have on you if you harbor a wanted criminal?" Yi didn't want to have anything to do with Eden now. Eden was now a world superstar, while he was a wanted criminal. Their identities and status were completely different. If Eden was discovered to be in contact with him, Eden's dream would be ruined.

After hearing what Yi said, Eden paused for a moment, but still came to Yi's side, supported him and said with a smile, "There is no wanted criminal in front of me, just an old friend." He helped Yi back to the bed. Yi wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and was not even Eden's opponent.

Even when he returned to bed, Yi still kept his head down, and his bangs covered his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Alishia... has already told me about you..." Eden said as he sat next to Yi. Alisia had previously told Eden what happened to Yi, including the Honkai Impact and the Herrscher. Alisia told Eden everything in one go.

“……” Yi didn’t know how to respond to Eden’s question, so he decided to keep quiet.

"Yi, things have already happened and we can't change it. All we can do is actively change ourselves..." Eden comforted Yi.

"..." Yi was silent for a while and finally decided to speak, "Eden, don't waste your precious time on me, you have more meaningful things to do... You who are in the light, don't bother me who am in the darkness..."

Seeing Yi's sad look, Eden did not criticize him loudly. Instead, he leaned forward, held Yi's face with one hand, and held Yi's hand with the other hand, letting Yi look at him, and said gently, "If you are afraid that the light is too strong and intend to stagnate, no matter how many times, I will hold your hand like this."

Looking at Yi's smile, Yi's tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of his eyes, "Eden..." Eden's words broke the wall of Yi's heart. During these months of escape, no one spoke to Yi, no one showed kindness to Yi, and he even met some people who wanted to capture Yi to collect the bounty. Perhaps the suffering of these months was exchanged for the arrival of Eden.

Eden wiped the tears from Yi's face with his hands and said, "You are so old, and you are still crying." After that, he gave Yi a big hug and patted Yi's back gently. Soon Yi fell asleep in this warmth. After all, Yi had not slept well in the past few months. He might be caught if he was not careful. How could he sleep well?

Looking at the sleeping Yi, Eden smiled, covered Yi with a blanket, said, "Have a sweet dream..." and left the room.

A week later, that's right, Yi slept for a week at once. It was called sleeping, but it was actually a coma. Eden was not a doctor, and her treatment for Yi was only for skin injuries. So, after arriving in a new environment, Yi completely relaxed and slept for a week. The sunlight shone on Yi's face, and Yi opened his eyes drowsily. He saw an unfamiliar ceiling and sat up immediately.

"You're awake. You've been in a coma for a whole week." Just at this moment, Eden walked into the room with a glass of milk, sat down beside Yi's bed, looked at Yi with a smile and said, "Here, have a glass of hot milk. How do you feel?"

"...Thank you..." Yi took the milk and held it in his hand, ignoring Eden's questioning about his physical condition, and said, "Eden...Aren't you afraid that helping a fugitive like me will affect your acting career?"

Yi's response was a brain-shattering sound. After the fight, Eden said, "Didn't I tell you this before? Are you still struggling with this?"

"...I'm sorry..." Yi apologized. He didn't know what to talk to Eden about now. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the situation when they met again was not very good, so Yi didn't know how to start.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Eden asked, breaking the silence.

"...I don't know..." Yi thought for a while and replied, "There is no place in this world for me..." What Yi said made sense. After all, he was a wanted criminal of the Fire Moth. Who would dare to protect him? Was that person stupid? He would choose to protect him.

But at this time Eden suddenly said, "Why don't you stay with me."

"Huh?" Yi looked at Eden in shock. He couldn't believe that there was really a fool who would choose to protect him. He could only force a smile and said, "Don't joke, Eden."

"I'm serious, I'm not kidding." Eden looked into Yi's eyes and said.

"No!" Yi refused.

"Why?" Eden asked.

"You've worked hard to realize your dream, are you going to let all your efforts go to waste because of me? Eden, I don't want this... You should go higher." Yi said with clenched fists. Yi understood that if he agreed to Eden, he would delay her, and if she was discovered, Eden would be ruined.

Seeing Yi's determination, Eden knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he would not be able to stop him. Yi was just like that, so he had to give in. "Then, how about you stay by my side until your injury is healed? It just so happens that I will be holding a concert in Australia soon, why don't you come and listen?"

"...But...there is a branch of Fire Moth in Australia. If I stay next to you...I will be discovered..." Yi said.

"Don't be afraid. Don't you trust my makeup skills?" After saying that, Eden smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Besides, you also said that I'm a world superstar, so I still have some power. Don't be afraid."

"...Okay..." Yi looked at Eden deeply and had no choice but to agree.

Hearing Yi's agreement, Eden smiled and decided to cherish this time. She stood up and said to Yi, "Okay, change your clothes first. I'll wait for you in the living room." After that, Eden handed Yi another set of clothes and left the bedroom.

Yi took the clothes and came to his senses to look at his condition. He was covered in bandages and his previous clothes were gone... Wait! What this means is that he is naked now, and Eden is bandaging him!

Yi quickly got up, dressed, and prepared to go look for Eden, but found that it might be difficult for him to walk. He looked at the crutch placed next to the bedside table and could only say that Eden was very well prepared. He took the crutch and walked towards the living room.

After walking out of the bedroom, Yi took a look at the furnishings in the living room and understood what the world of the rich was like. Although Yi already knew that Eden was quite wealthy, he was still shocked. The entire living room was decorated with golden colors that displayed wealth. Antiques were placed in the glass cabinets next to it, and there was also a piano near the balcony. Just looking at its condition, one could tell it was very expensive.

"It's out." Eden sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said to Yi.

Yi came and sat down opposite Eden, looking at the tea in front of him, and then at the wine glass in Eden's hand.

As if noticing Yi's gaze, Eden smiled and said to Yi, "Your injury is not healed yet, you can't drink."

"Drinking early in the morning...is it really okay? Eden." Looking at Eden drinking in the morning, Yi couldn't help but ask, why do the girls he likes all have some bad habits, Long is a smoker, and Eden is a drunkard.

"Hmph~ no problem." Eden said as he took another sip to finish the remaining wine in the glass.

"Is this your residence?" Yi asked.

"You could say that this place was specially prepared for me because they knew I was going to hold a concert here. It's only for me to stay here." Eden said with a smile, "By the way, are you able to walk now?"

"If you have this, it won't be a problem, as long as the amplitude is not too big." Yi said, leaning on his crutches.

"That's good. Take a good rest these days. When your injury recovers in a few weeks, come out with me." Eden said.

"Why are you going out?" Yi asked. After all, it was very troublesome for him to go out.

"Date." Eden said.

"Huh?" Yi couldn't believe it and almost spilled the tea in his hand.
