Time in a collapsing world

"Wow……"

Alicia climbed up the hillside, and below, she saw the lights of thousands of houses, gathering under the night, shining like a magnificent picture.

She once thought that the small town where she lived was the whole world, but she never expected that there was such beautiful scenery outside the small town.

"So beautiful...Li, look at it...eh?"

Alicia turned around happily, wanting to show Li Ye this beautiful scene, but she found that there was Li's figure behind her.

It was empty, with only the night accompanying me.

"...Li?"

Alicia called out softly, but the air in front of her couldn't respond to her.

"Really...are you lost? I told you to follow me~?"

Alicia snorted, and then walked back the way she came, calling Li's name as she walked, trying to call him back when he was "lost."

But how could someone who had already left respond to her call?

……

"This is how we met~?"

Alicia stopped her story here, and smiled as she took some more water and sprinkled it on Li's face, but Li didn't have time to react at this time. He was still digesting Alicia's story just now.

"..."

Did he still have such a period of time with Alicia?

What a surprise.

Li recalled the scene when he and Alicia first met in the Fire Chaser Moth.

No wonder her eyes lit up when she saw him at that time...

And... alien?

This word was what He said to Li. It seemed that his birth was due to the blessing of this so-called "alien"...

Ri glanced at Alicia's face.

"Ok?"

Alicia tilted her head.

"Sorry, I still don't have much of an impression."

Li spread her hands towards Alicia and said helplessly.

"It's okay. There must have been some accident after you left that caused you to lose your memory, right? Otherwise, how could a gentle boy like you, Li, forget about the beautiful girl who has been with you for so long?"

Alicia didn't seem to care that Li had forgotten her, "However, regardless of whether it was your intention or not, it is a fact that Li has forgotten me. Well, how are you going to compensate me?"

"As compensation... I'll buy you the latest brand-name bag?"

"No."

"Various jewelry? Such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings..."

"what……"

Alicia seemed a little moved, but quickly shook her head, "This... needs to be decided first?"

Sure enough, girls just love jewelry.

Li nodded as if she understood something, but looking at Alicia's expression, she seemed to be waiting for him to express other thoughts.

Anything else?

It's impossible for Mr. Li to kidnap her back with a car full of beauties, right?

"Li?"

Alicia urged.

"I can't think of that."

Li raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Then let's keep it for now, just think that Santa Claus named Li owes Alicia a wish~?"

"so be it."

Li didn't bargain this time. He put all the washed dishes and chopsticks into the disinfection cabinet.

"Li, it's my turn to ask you next~?"

"Well, you ask."

Li almost had her answer ready.

"Li, will you... disappear again?"

"..."

Faced with Alicia's uneasy inquiry, Li remained silent for a moment.

"Maybe, maybe not...but if nothing else happens, I should only disappear half."

Half disappearing means abandoning the body, while the consciousness is attached to Xi's body and continues to live with everyone.

I thought Alicia would not be satisfied with her answer, but she didn't expect that she just continued to ask: "Won't you 'die'?"

"..."

This was actually the second question, but considering that he had just listened to Alicia's long story, Li still answered: "No."

I guess so……

"Well, then I'm relieved~?"

Alicia breathed a huge sigh of relief, but thinking of Li's leaving without saying goodbye a long time ago, she patted both sides of Li's cheeks with her hands again, "But Li, you can't lie to me again this time~?"

"Will not."

Li did not move away Alicia's hands, but also patted both sides of her face in return.

The two of them looked at each other's face that had been squeezed into a strange shape, and both couldn't help but smile and let go of their hands at the same time.

"However, it's great that Li, who was dull at first, has become so active... Although some of her emotional intelligence issues have not changed, it can be considered a big improvement!"

Alicia couldn't hide her curiosity, "I really want to know what you went through, Li, to become like this?"

"who knows……"

Li shrugged.

"However, Li, have you become a little unkind again recently? You don't even want me to attack you at night..."

"Don't bring anything private. Besides, I haven't let you attack me at night before, right?"

"some!"

"?when?"

"Just when we first met~?"

"???Aren't we still children at that time?"

"Yes, kid~?"

"Why do children attack at night???"

"Why can't children be attacked at night?"

"Aren't children even mature?!"

"Eh? Li, where did you think you were going? I obviously just used berry juice to draw a little turtle on your face while you were sleeping. When you woke up the next day, the speechless expression on your face when you found out... Do you still remember it now~?”

"..."

"Li, you are so dirty, so ashamed~?"

Alicia scratched her cheek against the glass.

"Shut up! You obviously guided me on purpose!"

"Then can I attack you tonight? I have specially prepared indelible ink for this purpose~?"

"Just wait, you don't need to come over tonight, I'll go directly to you!"

Li Li said angrily, "He will buy a box of indelible ink later!"

……

Different from the noise in the kitchen, Destobia and Nozomi are having a quiet time here.

"Ah...I'll eat it! Sister Destobia, your plane has been shot back again~"

Nozomi sent Destobia's last surviving plane home, and Nozomi herself drove the last plane to the terminal. The winner of this game of flying chess was still Destobia. Ya's defeat.

"Xi, how come your luck is so good..."

Destobia touched her face. She wondered if she had some black blood.

"Sister Destobia's luck is not bad either. She hit six sixes in a row and almost didn't beat you just now~"

"In the end, I lost..."

Destobia said helplessly, "I won't play anymore. If I play ten games and lose ten, I suspect this game is targeting me."

"Then Sister Destobia, what should we do next?"

Xi asked as he helped Destobia put away the flying chess piece.

"Next... hum, let's play Monopoly!"

Destobia took out a new game box. She wanted to beat Xi in the game even once. Otherwise, if she didn't win a game, even she would not be able to sleep at night.

After that...

Destobia didn't have a good night's sleep in the past two nights, and her mind was full of thoughts about why she had lost to Xi more than thirty times in a row?

why?
