Time in a collapsing world

"..."

Destobia covered the big bag on her head and squatted on the ground, biting her lips to prevent herself from crying. At least in front of Xi, she had to maintain the image of a good sister.

"Well……"

Seeing how Destobia was enduring the pain, Xi was thinking about going up to comfort her, but he was concerned about Destobia's face, so he didn't dare to go up.

"Stop maintaining it, your image has collapsed a long time ago, don't you think so, Xi?"

Li exposed the truth without mercy.

"what……"

Xi glanced at Destobia who was looking at him blankly, thought about it, and said softly "Yeah".

"Ahhhhhh...!"

Destobia burst into tears immediately. Li's attack just now was really merciless. She was beaten so hard that her head still feels like it's buzzing. It hurts like hell!

"Sister Destobia, don't cry. Don't cry. Let me blow you. It won't hurt anymore."

As he said that, Xi gently held Destobia's head and blew air. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Destobia actually felt that the pain in her head was slightly relieved.

"Alas... who told you to secretly slander me in front of Xi just now?"

Li sighed. Seeing Destobia's look like this, he couldn't help but scratch his palms. He also regretted whether he hit her too hard just now.

He recalled the force he had just used. It was very heavy. If Destobia was not a fusion warrior, she would most likely suffer a concussion.

Li frowned, he... obviously just wanted to give her a gentle slap.

There seemed to be an inexplicable impulse just now, prompting me to make a heavy move, even a fatal move...

"Forget it, come here, I'll help you get rid of the [pain]."

As he said that, Li was about to use his power, but it would only last for a moment, and nothing would happen.

"Li, what are you hiding in the room for? Come here quickly, I can't do it alone in the kitchen~?"

But at this moment, Alicia appeared at the door of the room at the right time, and without saying a word, she grabbed Li's arm and pulled him out without giving him a chance to use his power.

"Hey, hey, hey! Alicia! Don't pull me, I will go by myself!" Forced to interrupt the spell casting, Li suddenly shouted, but Alicia would not think of letting him go at this time, but kept He dragged him to the kitchen, closed the door, and completely sealed Li around him.

"..."

Destobia and Nozomi, who were covering their heads, looked at each other in confusion, neither of them reacting to this unexpected situation.

"Um...Sister Destobia, you better not say bad things about your elder brother in the future, right?"

Xi whispered, the big brother's punch looked so painful...

"Oh……"

Destobia didn't want to be beaten on the head anymore, so she accepted Xi's advice.

……

“Wow~ What a rich dish~”

When Alicia called out the two people in the room, they saw that the table was filled with a variety of dishes, and they smelled very good.

After Xi Zai exclaimed, he looked at Li and Alicia with admiration, "Brother, and sister Alicia, did you two cook these dishes? It's amazing!"

"Captain Alicia, you can actually cook, Li?" Destobia looked in disbelief.

"Can't you learn how to cook with a little training?" Hearing Destobia's question, Li Xiang rolled his eyes. Does this guy have a good eye? Between himself and Alicia, he is obviously the one who knows how to cook best. At least he can handle fish, Alicia... she can't even do it even if she looks at the instructions.

"Oh...that's pretty cool."

Destobia remembered the heavy hammer that had just hit her head, and she didn't dare to yell at him anymore, so she had to praise him.

"By the way, Destobia..."

"what?"

Destobia suddenly became nervous when she heard Li suddenly calling her.

"Does your head still hurt?"

"Eh?"

"I mean... forget it, I hit you too hard just now. I'm sorry. Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Li actually lowered her head and apologized seriously.

This is a very rare sight. Li Ping would apologize after doing something wrong, but this was the first time that the people present had seen such a serious apology.

Alicia, who had been with Li the longest, knew that Li would only show this attitude after he did something he thought was wrong.

So... that punch just now was not actually Li's original intention?

"Big brother……"

Xi opened her mouth, but she knew that now was the time for Destobia to respond.

"Well... don't worry about it. I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain anymore. Besides, it was my fault before... so raise your head quickly, Li. I don't blame you anymore."

Destobia was also a little at a loss. Although it was rare for Li to bow her head and admit her mistake, Destobia was not happy at all for some reason. She should obviously seize this opportunity to retaliate against him... …

"It really doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore~"

Destobia confirmed.

"Okay, okay, don't stand here, let's eat, Xi, Destobia, this is what we prepared specially for you~?"

Alicia pushed Li's shoulders, pushed him to the dining table and pressed him on the seat. Xi and Destobia also followed and found a seat to sit down.

"Look, these are braised fish cubes made by Li herself~? Try it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Alicia took a piece of fish for all three of them, took a piece for herself and put it in her mouth to taste.

"Hmm~ Li's craftsmanship is really good~?"

"Well, the fish cooked by big brother is really delicious!"

After tasting it, Xi also praised it sincerely.

"Hmm... delicious!"

It was indeed delicious, at least Destobia couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"As long as you like it."

Li smiled absently.

"""..."""

Alicia, who was sitting aside, saw this and immediately pinched Li's thigh calmly.

"...Hey, isn't this natural? Destobia, who was questioning my ability to cook just now?" Li raised her eyebrows at Destobia, showing provocation.

"Humph, so what if it's me?"

Momo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Destobia hugged her chest and said directly: "You are obviously just a salty fish, but you turn around from time to time. Isn't it normal for me to question you?"

"It's normal, but... now that I've proven myself, tell me, what do you think?" Li stepped closer.

"What else can you think? It's just that people should not be judged by their appearance, what? Do you still want me to praise you?" Destobia hummed.

"Then just praise me, I'll listen."

"..."

"Huh? Why don't you praise me? Are you embarrassed?"

"Hmph... so awesome. Li is so awesome. He actually knows how to cook fish. He can do such a difficult thing, so I must praise him~"

"Hey! Just praise, don't be arrogant!"
