Collapse: The opening system captures the Herrscher of Knowledge

(The talisman was successful, I am alive, free gifts are coming, let’s continue!)

"Kiana☆! It's been a year! A whole year! Four hundred and sixty-two onas. It's like you have a grudge against them. You can't remember them all!"

Fu Ming looked at Kiana☆, who was lying leisurely on the bed, with a look of disappointment, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness, anxiety and confusion in his voice.

"But these 462 sounds are difficult and obscure. I am stupid to begin with, so this can't be entirely my fault."

Kiana☆ lay lazily on the bed, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing her signature silly smile, her eyes flashing with anticipation, looking straight at Fu Ming.

Fu Ming originally wanted to reprimand her, but when he saw her appearance, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated, leaving only helplessness and pampering.

So he gently poked Kiana☆'s forehead with his finger and said softly:

"Don't underestimate yourself. You're not stupid. You just like to play too much sometimes and don't want to remember it. Okay, I'll read it to you one last time."

Kiana☆hearing this, she tightened the warm quilt around her body, with an anxious look on her face, and urged:

"Yes, Ming, please start. I will listen carefully and try my best to remember."

In this situation, Fu Ming wanted to expose her lies several times, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Then I consoled myself: "I've already studied for a year, so a few more times won't make a difference."

In response, Fu Ming cleared his throat, then slowly spoke, reciting the mysterious "Sword Heart Art" word by word, trying to make Kiana understand.

After reading it once, he paused for a moment, then Fu Ming read it a second time and a third time before slowly stopping.

Fu Ming, who was a little thirsty from reading, took a sip from the water cup and asked:

"Remember?"

Kiana☆ blinked and responded:

"almost."

Fu Ming put down the cup and said:

"That means not yet. Never mind. I'll have a gift for you tomorrow. That's all for today. Good night, Kiana☆."

When Kiana saw Fu Ming was about to leave, a sense of loss flashed through her heart. Her originally bright eyes dimmed a little, and she looked like a sad kitten.

But when she heard that there would be a gift tomorrow, Kiana☆ quickly adjusted herself, nodded obediently, and said softly:

"Good night, Ming."

After saying that, Kiana☆ slowly crawled into the warm quilt like a curled-up kitten.

Returning to his own room, Fu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed. He gently stretched out his right hand and a baseball bat appeared in his hand.

Fu Ming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he looked at the baseball bat of the same model as Xing, which he had secretly taken from the Black Tower Space Station.

"Giving this birthday present to Kiana☆ will make her happy, right?"

Then Fu Ming took out a ribbon from the system space and skillfully wrapped it around the baseball bat. After a while, an exquisite bow was firmly tied to the baseball bat.

"Well, that's perfect."

Fu Ming looked at the baseball bat he had decorated with satisfaction, feeling an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart. He seemed to have seen Kiana☆'s excitement when she saw this gift.

At the other end of the room, Kiana☆ tossed and turned, but still couldn't fall asleep, so she could only recite the "Sword Heart Jue" silently in her mind.

That’s right, just silently recite the ‘Sword Heart Technique’.

Kiana☆ is actually much smarter than Fu Ming sees. The fact that she seems unable to remember the "Sword Heart Technique" is just a disguise she puts on to deceive Fu Ming's eyes.

Beneath his seemingly ignorant and innocent appearance, he is secretly calculating his own plans deep down in his heart.

She liked Fu Ming's gentle and doting eyes looking at her.

Whenever those eyes looked at her quietly, her heart felt as if being gently brushed by a soft feather, a feeling of joy that was difficult to describe in words.

Although Fu Ming was like the ever-present warm sunshine, accompanying her every day, her heart seemed to never be completely filled, and she always felt like something was missing.

That desire was like a vine that kept spreading from deep in her heart, tightly wrapping around her, making her desperately want to get more, more, the most sincere love and meticulous care that came from Fu Ming's heart.

So, she could only rack her brains to come up with a method that seemed clumsy yet clever, a method that could attract Fu Ming's attention without appearing too deliberate.

——Pretend not to remember the "Sword Heart Technique".

It turns out that this method is really useful!

When she deliberately showed a confused expression, Fu Ming would shake his head helplessly, but would appear by her side on time every night.

In a low and gentle voice, he slowly read the "Sword Heart Art" to her word by word, like the most beautiful melody in the night.

It is precisely because of this that she can, like a greedy child, feel at ease getting more of his attention and companionship.

When the endless night came, the chanting of "Sword Heart Jue" was like a bright lamp, illuminating her and making her feel a long-lost warmth and comfort.

Just like that, Kiana☆ gradually relaxed and slowly fell into that sweet sleep with a faint smile on her face.

.........

Early the next morning, Fu Ming's fair and slender fingers gently knocked on Kiana☆'s door. Then, he leaned over slightly, approached the door, and whispered:

"Kiana☆, you should get up!"

Then, a lazy voice came out through the crack in the door, mixed with a hint of sleepiness and coquettishness.

"No, let me sleep a little longer~ Just a little while~"

Fu Ming stood quietly outside the door, looking at his wrist from time to time. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he couldn't help feeling helpless.

After sighing slightly, Fu Ming decided to push open the door.

The door slowly opened, and what came into view was Kiana☆'s cute appearance, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, like a curled up kitten.

Fu Ming shook his head helplessly, sat beside the bed and asked softly:

"Do you know what day it is?"

Kiana☆'s voice sounded muffled from under the quilt, with a hint of hoarseness and laziness:

"Well~ Of course it's the day to sleep in. What could be more important than sleeping in~"

Fu Ming held his forehead helplessly, then he stood up, turned around and walked outside, saying as he walked:

"Since someone has forgotten what day it is today, the gift I carefully prepared last night is wasted. What a pity, what a pity~"

Hearing this, Kiana☆, who was curled up in the quilt, suddenly opened her eyes. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly opened the quilt, looked at Fu Ming's back, and shouted loudly:

"A Ming, wait a minute, I'm awake! I remember that today seems to be my birthday, give me my birthday present!"

Hearing the anxious and somewhat coquettish voice coming from behind him, Fu Ming subconsciously stopped and paused slightly.

Then, Fu Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, and that smile quietly blossomed on his face like a ray of sunshine, thinking secretly in his heart:

"I finally got out of bed. It wasn't easy!"

Then, Fu Ming slowly turned around, and what came into his sight was Kiana☆, whose pajamas were disheveled and whose unintentional movements just happened to reveal most of her skin, rushing towards him.

Fu Ming quickly stretched out his arms and caught Kiana☆ steadily. When the soft and elastic touch of her waist reached his fingertips, he couldn't let it go.

However, Fu Ming soon realized his own gaffe, and quickly looked away, loosened his hands, feeling a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, saying:

"I'll give it to you after you wash up and change your clothes."

"I know~"

Kiana☆ didn't seem to care about Fu Ming's strangeness. She just nodded obediently and walked towards the bathroom with brisk steps.
