Time in a collapsing world

"I……"

Kevin thought for a while and said nothing. Apart from himself, what else could have the ability to instantly drop the temperature around here to minus 30 degrees?

"Just stay away from me."

"Oh……"

At this time, Ling felt Xi tugging on her clothes and pointing to the icy ground, and she suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"???"

Freeze in the summer? What did this big brother bring here? !

Xi did not say out her guess, but just pulled Ling to keep a distance from Kevin, "Brother, you are also a friend of Sister Ying and Brother Li, right?"

"Ah."

"You look very handsome. Brother, you must be very popular, right?"

"Ah."

"Um... Brother, do you want some tea? I'll make it for you."

"Need not."

Perhaps Kevin also felt that he said too little, so he added: "I don't drink tea."

"Oh……"

Even Xi didn't know what to talk about.

"Xi, let's play games!"

Ling still remembered that it was time for rest. When her sister or that damn Brother Li came back, she might have to return to the hell called studying, so she had to seize the opportunity to play quickly.

"Huh? Okay..."

So the two of them sat back on the sofa, each with a game console, and started playing.

Kevin stood far away, looking quietly in their direction.

"Damn it... Wearing such thick clothes affects your performance..." Ling moved her arms, and the down jacket on her body suddenly made a friction sound.

"Well, it's hard to control the character with gloves on..." Xi also wanted to take off his gloves, but looking at Kevin's figure approaching at an unknown moment, his heart was filled with helplessness.

"..."

Kevin also knew that his presence affected their performance, but he had no intention of quitting. Since he promised Sakura that he would take good care of them, he would not let Nozomi and Ling out of his sight.

"Big brother, do you want to play?"

Xi asked, she wanted to go back and read a book.

"No need." Kevin shook his head.

"But it would be boring for you to be alone, right?"

"will not."

"Just give it a try, it won't happen."

Seeing that Kevin was not getting enough, Ling couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran over and stuffed the game console into Kevin's hand.

"This tower climbing game is very popular now. I have only climbed to the 331st floor. There is no upper limit. Big brother, you can try it."

Ling clicked on a game for Kevin and ran away quickly. The closer she got, the colder she got. She had already connected the game console to the TV in advance, so Kevin's game live broadcast would be directly projected onto the TV screen.

"Brother, give it a try~"

Xi took a book out of the room and put it on her lap, planning to read and watch TV at the same time.

"……let me try."

Kevin was finally convinced, and after a while he got used to the buttons and started to get started.

"Brother, come on, this is very difficult." Ling didn't think Kevin looked like a novice at what he could do. She was so tired and angry when she played the game that she almost dropped the console. broken.

……

"Dr. Mei, I'm here."

Sakura opened a door, Mei wasn't there, but Aponya and Chijie were inside.

"Miss Sakura, Miss Mei left earlier."

Aponya glanced at the masked man who was leaning on his head and tilting his head to one side, "I will ask you to take care of me from now on."

"Aponya, please stop being so nagging, I can handle my own affairs by myself!" Qianjie took a sip.

"Qianjie, I'm worried about you."

Aponya did not show dissatisfaction, "Miss Sakura, since you are here, I will leave first. You can have a good chat."

With that said, Aponya stood up, passed by Sakura, and walked out of the room. She was just afraid that Qianjie would be alone here.

"Qianjie...can I call you that?"

"Hmph...whatever."

"What happened back then was my fault."

"...Oh, what's wrong with you? Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"Those children..."

"No, this is not your fault. Your only fault is that you stabbed me in the heart without saying anything. It really hurts... Isn't your mission to kill those infected with the Honkai Disease? Then why do you still stab me? A knife?"

"……Feel sorry."

"Let's have a fight. I'm too lazy to listen to your messy apologies. If we have a fight, all our past things will be forgotten." Qianjie turned his head, and his eyes under the devil-like mask met Sakura's.

"If it's just a discussion... okay."

Looking at this strange "ordinary person" in front of her, although there are many doubts about him and his fighting power is off the charts, he is no longer what he used to be. Even if Qianjie doesn't just want to spar, Sakura feels that she might be able to control him. within the scope of discussion.

"Okay, it should be so refreshing!"

Qianjie patted the chair and stood up, "Take me to the fighting venue, or you can start here, as long as you don't want to accidentally hurt others."

"……follow me."

……

"What are they going to do, one behind the other?"

"Hmm...who knows? Maybe we secretly find a place to date? Li, if I say this, will you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"... Hey, you're asking even though you know it."

Li and Alicia, who had returned from the battle to report, happened to see Chijie and Sakura, so they followed them secretly out of curiosity.

They wanted to know how these two people, who had only met each other once, could end up together.

On the way, Sakura moved the ears above her head and discovered Li and Alicia, who had not deliberately hidden them.

Qianjie also felt something strange about Sakura, and turned his head to look... Tsk, those two guys...

"Oh, have you been discovered~?"

"Yes, it was discovered."

"Then do we still need to follow?"

"Are we following you? Don't lie, we just happen to be going this way."

"Yeah, Li is right, we are not following you~?" Alicia's last words were louder, just enough for Qianjie and Sakura to hear.

"cut……"

Qianjie clicked his tongue in displeasure, while Sakura sighed helplessly.

Forget it, it's not something that needs to be concealed, they can just follow if they want.

……

Four people arrived at the training ground, but there was no one else except them.

"Sparring?"

Alicia guessed, "But isn't Sakura a fusion warrior? If Qianjie competes with her..."

"The outcome is already known, Sakura will win."

Li added, "It's just that Qianjie won't be defeated so completely."

Li could almost guess the outcome of the battle between these two people he knew well.

"Heh, it seems that the battle between us will be watched by two boring guys." Qianjie sneered.

"But it doesn't matter to you, right?" Sakura pulled out her sword and got into a fighting stance.

"Yes, I don't care, I even want to bring them in and fight together!"
