Time in a collapsing world

"Hmm... As for Li, he lives on the first floor. What's wrong, Sister Xi?" Alicia said, pointing to a room on the first floor.

"Well...can I live next door to my eldest brother...Ah, I'm just asking a little bit. If Sister Alicia doesn't agree, then I won't ask..." Xi whispered.

"Of course. How could I not agree to lovely sister Xi's request?"

Alicia let go of Destobia, leaned down and touched Xi's little head, but glanced at Li secretly again, with slightly complicated emotions in her eyes.

Why are you looking at me? There are no flowers on my face.

Trying to ignore Alicia's gaze, Li took the initiative to carry the box to the next door to his room. In case Alicia suddenly regretted it, he had to help Xi clean up the place as soon as possible.

This room is large and the furniture inside is quite complete, but some small items still need to be added later, but there should be a lot of things in these boxes, right?

Li put the box down and just about to open it, Xi shouted "No", then rushed over and closed the lid that was about to be opened.

"..."

Li remembered what happened in Alicia's room when she first moved here. She looked at Xina's red cheeks and understood, it was underwear, right?

Thinking of this, Li silently retreated and asked Destobia, "How about you go help Xi tidy up?"

"It's long overdue."

Destobia is also a girl. After a little bit of experience, she can understand why Xi had such a big reaction, so she rolled her eyes at Li and then walked into the room to help Xi tidy up the room.

Alicia wanted to follow, but Li grabbed her shoulder.

"?"

Alicia looked at Li suspiciously.

"Let's go prepare lunch together. We don't need too many people to tidy up the room." Li glanced at the time on her phone for Alicia.

"So that's it. I thought you, Li, wanted to keep me away from Sister Nozomi as much as possible~?"

"..."

The purpose was completely guessed.

"What's for lunch?"

Li tried to change the subject.

"Hmm... I remember there is some pork and chestnuts in the refrigerator... How about fried meat with chestnuts? Then a piece of fish, some green vegetables, and more..."

Alicia pointed her fingers and said eloquently that she must have a good memory, otherwise it would be difficult to memorize it.

"That's all?"

When Alicia stopped, Li asked. He knew that Alicia wanted to celebrate the arrival of the new member. Otherwise, usually they would just order takeout or stir-fry two or three dishes.

The new members here refer not only to Xi, but also Destobia. The time interval between the two moving in was not long, so Alicia wanted to celebrate both of them at the same time.

"Well...that's definitely enough, right? There are only four of us, and three of them are girls. Of course, if you are willing to help us get rid of all the leftovers, it doesn't matter if I add more~?"

"That's all."

Li turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and Alicia followed, but Li suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I will prepare the fish, and you can handle the other dishes."

He didn't want to see the three of them going into the hospital and lying next to each other the next day.

"You know~?"

Alicia also knew her craft, so she didn't insist on trying it. If it was normal, she might try to cook a fish for Ri to try, but this time it was Destobia and Xi who were like flowers. The girls of Jade are here, and she doesn’t want to harm them.

……

"Sister Destobia, here it is."

In the room, Xi handed a small pile of clothes in the box to Destobia, and Destobia took it and helped her put it neatly into the closet.

"Xi, you seem to have a little lack of clothes?"

Destobia looked at the pitiful amount of clothing in Xi's cabinet, and she could clearly feel that the entire cabinet was empty at a glance.

"Well... when I become an adult and can work and make money, I will have more."

Xi placed a photo frame on the table. Inside was a photo of a family of four. The youngest girl in the photo looked very similar to the current Xi.

Destobia just glanced at the photo and knew the reason through the faint sadness on Xi's face without asking. This situation is already obvious, isn't it?

Once a family of four, only Xi was left alone to face this seemingly familiar but unfamiliar world. This has become a very common phenomenon in today's world.

"Xi, don't put your underwear in the closet, otherwise the perverts in the villa may secretly take it away." Destobia helped Xie find a more hidden place to put the underwear that was originally placed at the bottom of the closet. With.

"Huh? The pervert in the villa? Is he the big brother?" Xi's thoughts were recalled by Destobia, and she was suddenly surprised.

"Hmph, who else could it be besides him?"

Destobia said sorry in her heart. I'm sorry, Li. In order to prevent Xi from showing such a sad expression, I think you wouldn't mind hurting you a little, right?

Meanwhile, the kitchen.

"Ah chirp!"

While Li was cooking, he suddenly felt an itch in his nose. Then he quickly squatted down and covered his mouth and nose and sneezed. In the next millisecond, he stood up and grabbed the spatula that had not been dropped before he let go.

"Li, do you have a cold?"

Alicia wanted to touch Li's forehead, but he avoided her.

"Don't touch me, your hands just cut onions!"

"Ah? We were discovered? What a pity..."

"Tsk, don't mess around when cooking, it will cause a fire."

"No, at worst, I'll just seal off the entire kitchen~?"

"Do you want Xi and Destobia to eat takeout with us?"

"what……"

Alicia also thought of this and immediately didn't dare to cause trouble.

Nozomi's room.

"Is this the kind of person your eldest brother is?"

Xi's attention was diverted by Destobia, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Xi, you know people but don't know their hearts. Don't be deceived by his good looks!"

"But eldest brother is obviously very good to me, and he didn't do anything extraordinary..."

"This is a disguise! Hunters don't reveal their true colors when catching prey!"

The more Destobia talked, the more addicted she became. Seeing Li's image collapse in Xi's eyes, Destobia suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.

"Huh? Big brother?"

"Yes, I'm talking about your eldest brother. He is the wolf under the moon, a vampire who specializes in sucking the blood of young girls, so you must keep a distance from him in the future!"

"No, no, I mean..."

"Oh, Xi, it seems that you would rather believe that beast in clothes than I, the eldest sister who is a good person... It doesn't matter, but you must remember, that guy Li is not a good person... Hmm! Okay! pain!"

The next moment, Destobia felt her head being hit hard, and she turned around with tears in her eyes.

She saw Li Zheng holding a spatula and staring at her with narrowed eyes. There was a dangerous aura all over her body.

"I just said that I always feel like someone is saying bad things about me. It turns out it's you..."

"Ah... I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, if it's useful, what else are you going to do with your fists? You're going to die!"

"Help ah ah ah ah!!!"
