Time in a collapsing world

Li and Sakura chatted all the way, and it didn't take long before they came to a fork in their lives.

"Well, we'll separate when we reach that fork in the road, and I'll give you the meat back."

Ri handed the bag in his left hand to Sakura, and then distributed his own meat bag in his right hand onto his left hand.

"Thank you. Actually, you don't have to help me carry it. It's not that I can't bear the weight."

Sakura thanked her first, even though she was troubled that Li still took care of her like a sister, even though she was already able to fend for herself.

"Hey, when we first met, I didn't know who it was that wanted to pile things on me every day. Now it has become a habit. I can't change it even if I want to."

Li and Sakura did work together in the same place for a while before. They were still very young at that time, but they were already alone. Sakura had a younger sister, but Li was truly alone. Maybe it's because they share the same problem, but the two of them get along pretty well. As a little girl, Sakura always had a hard time recovering her physical strength, while Li had almost endless strength due to her health.

Because of this, Li often takes the initiative to help Sakura share some tasks, and as the eldest sister in the family, Sakura rarely experiences the happiness of having someone to rely on. Over time, the two of them also developed a habit. Every time they worked, Sakura would blush and share some of her tasks with Li, and Li was happy to accept it. This relationship lasted until this black-hearted industry that employed child labor closed down.

"Well……"

Although she has grown up, Sakura's face has not become much thicker. Listening to Li talking about her past embarrassing things, her face still inevitably turns red.

"Please, please don't say it again! That happened so long ago. I've grown up a long time ago, and that won't happen again!"

Sakura held the bag in one hand, and quickly covered Li's mouth with the other hand, hoping to escape from her own dark history.

How could Li be caught by Sakura? What's more, she didn't use any strength. She turned around and dodged Sakura's attack, but he also stopped his verbal attack. Otherwise, it would be bad to make Sakura anxious. Now she is a ruthless person who can push herself to the ground and beat her wildly...

I don't know how she trained, but the speed of her strength growth was simply outrageous. She was obviously such a cute little girl before... although she is still very cute now.

He secretly wiped away a handful of bitter tears, but Li's face showed no expression. As Sakura's former big brother, he also had his own dignity!

"Li?"

"Ah... ah?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Sakura silently swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

No matter what, it's great that the people I care about can survive in this era of collapse. Regardless of whether it was Li or Ling, Sakura didn't want anything to happen to them. This was also the most basic wish she made for the rest of her life. She has no other friends or relatives...

Sakura held her phone tightly in her hand, and an unread message was clearly displayed on the screen.

The task is coming...

If possible, Sakura wanted to avoid being seen by those around her when she was performing her mission. Although Li already understood everything.

Li squinted his eyes and stared at Sakura's restless expression. After a short brainstorm, he quickly came up with the answer in his heart.

"cherry……"

Li suddenly slapped her hand on Sakura's shoulder.

"What, what's wrong?"

It was rare for Li to stare at her with such a serious expression, and even Sakura was at a loss now.

"You don't have to hold it in anymore, I understand."

"Wha, what?!"

"Eh? Aren't you holding in your urine? Why else would you show such an expression?"

"..."

Following a flash of sword light, Li's miserable wail came from the alley.

……

"So, this is why you were almost chopped into a stick? Ha, you are really stupid."

In the church, Qianjie, who barely had the patience to put ointment on Li, listened to Li tell her recent experience and decisively mocked him.

After all, such a weird incident might only happen to this guy Li, right?

"Hey, Qianjie, don't laugh at the same time. If it were you, 80% of the time you would give me another answer besides holding in your urine. Believe it or not?"

Li is not to be outdone, he is submissive in the face of force, and he can hit hard in verbal confrontation.

"Maybe that's the case, but now that this kind of thing has happened to your kid, your assumption can only be an assumption."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo much..."

"What are you doing, kid?"

"I pray that this kind of good thing will happen to you next time... Ooooooh! It hurts! It hurts!!!"

"Don't think that because you are a wounded person, I won't dare to touch you!"

"Help! Aponia... No, Mama Aponia, please help!"

"Uh hahaha! Just scream, even if your throat is broken...!"

"...Thousands of tribulations."

"..."

Upon hearing that familiar call, Qianjie suddenly stopped what he was doing.

A woman in nun's uniform was standing quietly behind him.

With a tall and plump figure coupled with that iconic world-weary face, well, it’s definitely Aponya.

"Oh! My Aponia! My angel! Are you finally willing to come down to earth and save your people from fire and water?"

"Li."

"Ah, okay, I shut up."

After being stared at with a faint look, Li Ye decisively suppressed her acting skills, as quiet as a madam.

"Tsk, Aponya..."

Qianjie didn't care about the honest Li anymore, but stood up and faced Aponya face to face not to be outdone. Despite the barrier of the mask, Aponya could still feel Qianjie's gaze falling on him.

"Qianjie, please don't quarrel."

"Oh, I don't want to argue, but this guy keeps making me angry. Instead of trying to persuade me, you might as well sew Li's mouth shut, otherwise even if I can hold it back, someone else will beat him to death. In which corner?"

Qianjie sneered. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him beating Li up. Anyway, it was him who deserved the beating.

"I will take good care of him. However, I hope you can control your temper a little."

"What? I'm bothering you again with my appearance?"

Qianjie took a step forward, almost touching Aponya's body, leaving only a small gap between the two.

"Go away, I'm going to cook for those brats. Or do you want to do this job instead of me?"

"I just hope that you can get along well."

Aponia was not angry, but silently made way for Qianjie to pass through.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about it."

Qianjie retorted unceremoniously, and after saying that, he didn't show politeness to Aponya. He walked out of the room quickly and slammed the door, as if he was too lazy to say another word to her.

"Actually, I feel like we get along pretty well like this..."

Li lay on the side and said weakly.

"..."

Aponya's eyes, which were buried under the long bangs, looked at Li again.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I talked too much again."

Li chose to give in again and silently turned his head to the wall. He decided not to say a word no matter what happened! Apponia's look is really terrifying!

I have to admit that Liye is not really fearless, at least he really can't stand the strange nun Aponya.

Although she doesn't use violence, she is also invulnerable. Even Li's best language cannot break her defenses. No matter what you do, Aponya can keep looking at you with such a calm expression, as if to say:

"You know what you did wrong."

Li felt guilty as the sins in her heart were infinitely magnified. She had no choice but to make him often ignore others and not speak to others, so his karma had already accumulated.

Against this kind of person, Li Zhen has no choice at all.
