Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 187 I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime.

Breath Perception could sense the presence of everyone within a ten-meter radius, their position and physical outlines all became clearly visible.

In the past, Fang You would easily confirm the identity of those around him through this information.

However, during the holiday celebrations, with the exaggerated density of people, the circle with a ten-meter radius was filled to the brim with people, quickly flooding Fang You's mind with a massive amount of biological information.

The constantly updating information about everyone's movements added to and subtracted from the range was overwhelming, even for Fang You.

He had not evolved to the level of a superbrain that could process the information of a hundred people simultaneously without any fuss.

While sifting through the information, Fang You felt his brain as if it were about to burst.

But still... it was bearable.

Sigh...

Fang You held his breath and calmed his mind.

Absolute Focus could help him enter a better state of search.

Nuo Nuo had gotten lost while looking for him, and judging from the position and moving range when they got separated, searching in the northeast direction would likely lead to finding Nuo Nuo.

But occasionally, his mind would be struck by a sense of unexplained restlessness and anxiety, with terrible thoughts flashing through Fang You's mind like a carousel.

If this continued... it would be impossible to maintain Absolute Focus.

[You now understand what it feels like to worry about someone, knowledge energy +50]

Fang You endured the nausea and retching feelings from the onslaught of information as he continued to search for Xia Nuo's whereabouts.

Finally, he found the silhouette of a girl sitting on a bench, fiddling with the watch on her wrist.

Fang You fought his way through the crowd to reach the bench by the bridge,

There, the girl dressed in a pink kimono with a bunny pattern was sitting quietly on the bench, occasionally adjusting the watch in her hand while searching anxiously through the passing crowd.

Fang You took a deep breath and then strode forward with determination.

Making a fuss around him was one thing, but running around in such a crowded place was simply too chaotic.

Who did she think she was?

Could she be like him?

This time, he wouldn't just let it slide with a smile and a joke; he needed to seriously teach her a lesson.

"Nuo Nuo,"

Fang You called out to Xia Nuo coldly.

At the same time, when Xia Nuo heard his voice and turned her head to see him, their eyes met. Initially stern, Fang You's demeanor softened when he saw Xia Nuo biting her lip, her eyes welling with tears, threatening to spill over.

All of a sudden, he didn't know what to say.

[You now know what it feels like to be soft-hearted, knowledge energy +100]

Xia Nuo slowly stood up from the bench and hobbled towards him. Noticing the injury on her leg, Fang You immediately went to support her.

Before Fang You could speak, Xia Nuo suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, and Fang You held her body in support.

Thump.

"Thank goodness, You You..."

Xia Nuo mumbled into Fang You's shoulder, "I thought... I'd never see you again in this lifetime!"

"I..."

Xia Nuo murmured and said no more.

She might always seem cheerful, but the answer to that question was very clear to her.

Fang You continued, "So you can't expect me to solve everything for you, relying too much on me isn't good for your growth. What if your spaceship encounters space pirates and I happen to be vacationing on Earth? Will you call me to ask how to deal with the space pirates and have me command the fleet for you?

That's why if you want to be a spaceship captain in the future, you need to start developing the ability to stand on your own..."

[Reasoning successful, [Persuasion by Reason] activated]

Damn, I forgot to turn it off!

Don't use this power to force Nuo Nuo to obey! That's no way to tell if my teachings are effective.

Fang You belatedly turned off [Persuasion by Reason], and at the same time, he suddenly felt his neck tighten.

Xia Nuo hugged Fang You even tighter.

"I will try to be a kid who can stand on my own, but... does standing on my own mean I have to part with you?"

"..."

Although I triggered Persuasion by Reason, it seems like I didn't persuade Nuo Nuo, did I?

This was indeed unexpected.

Xia Nuo continued, "We have been together since we were born, and we'll continue to be together. There are still so many, many things we need to do together in the future... Hmm..."

Xia Nuo went on saying these words to herself. Then, seeing Fang You not responding, she looked up to see his reaction.

"..."

"Why aren't you responding to me, You You?"

"Don't you want to do things with me anymore?"

Xia Nuo's heartbroken voice trembled in Fang You's ear.

[You know that Xia Nuo's fragility today is due to the fear of getting lost, knowledge energy +1]

At that moment, Fang You suddenly leaned over and knocked his forehead against Xia Nuo's.

"Ow..."

Xia Nuo was about to say something, holding her forehead, when she followed Fang You's gaze skyward. With a screech, a faint light quietly emerged in the sky.

With a "bang", the first firework exploded high above, tearing through the darkness and bursting forth myriad colors.

Red like flames, blue like the ocean, green as forests, and glittering gold, they intertwined, spun, and bloomed like dreamy flowers on the canvas of night, splashing recklessly.

Each color was so vivid, so lively, as if nature's most splendid palette had poured down, draping the silent night in a robe of splendor, illuminating the entire night sky.

And Xia Nuo's mood was immediately healed by the splendid fireworks show before her eyes!

"Such beautiful fireworks!"

Xia Nuo reached out her hands as if to grasp them and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ling Nai was right, watching fireworks with someone is really fun..."

"But this means we've done another thing together... Hmm."

Just then, Xia Nuo realized something, glancing over at Fang You, who was focused on the fireworks show. Seeing the splendid fireworks reflected in his eyes, Xia Nuo also squinted, yawning while revealing a somewhat lazy smile.

Then, she leaned back on Fang You's shoulder, enjoying this rare, tranquil moment together.
