Chapter 323 264 The game of playing sick ends here
!
Where on earth do kids your age learn such flirtatious talk?
Fang You didn't give Xia Nuo the opportunity to continue behaving willfully on him; before his powerless adolescent body began to react, he directly picked her up off him.
Then, Fang You wrote two big characters on the notebook on the table—
[Go to school!!!]
Xia Nuo didn't feel any remorse for the indignation Fang You expressed with exclamation points; she directly lay down on Fang You's bed.
She sprawled across Fang You's bed, burying her face in his pillow, her little feet swinging as she curiously watched Fang You, wondering what he was going to do next.
She's being rebellious, so rebellious!
In the past she was a well-behaved child who would do whatever I said, but now why is she so disobedient!
Xia Anyang, you really need to reflect on how you've raised your daughter!
Xia Nuo's rebellious behavior caused Fang You to experience a strong emotional turbulence.
Indeed, having someone you care about makes it harder to maintain a calm mindset when addressing problems.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you,"
Xia Nuo then began to explain the reason for her actions: "Aunt Xuan went to work; Uncle Fang hasn't returned from the countryside yet. I thought there was no one to look after you at home, so I told Mom I wanted to come and take care of you. I'll catch up on missed schoolwork."
At this time, Xia Nuo also got up from the bed and sat on the edge of Fang You's bed, her feet swinging, and her tone became softer.
"From the time I was little, each time I was sick you always took care of me. It's so rare to see you sick; I really wanted to be with you. We are best friends; I can't always be the one being looked after by you, that wouldn't make me a good friend, would it?"
Xia Nuo propped her chin in her hands and thought, "That way, it would seem more like a sibling relationship... and I'd be a useless little sister who can only rely on her big brother, which I definitely don't want."
So those were her considerations...
Although her thoughtfulness was indeed touching.
Tsk...
But now my plan is ruined!
At school, Fang You still had other things to help cover up, but at home, the situation became one of being alone with Nuo Nuo.
As a result, the chances of completing his mission skyrocketed—in the wrong direction. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Fang You took a deep breath, then continued to type and ask Xia Nuo:
[I know you're worried about me, but my toothache isn't that serious, it's almost fully recovered.]
Xia Nuo was clearly unsatisfied with Fang You's response:
"If you were really fine, you wouldn't just be typing to me. Hm... Why don't you call out 'Nuo Nuo' for me to hear? If you do that, then I'll believe you're better."
After saying this, Xia Nuo put her ear towards Fang You, eager to hear him call out her name.
Hey...
Has this kid already sensed something, with such sharp intuition?
Fang You couldn't bring himself to shout.
"See, I knew it!"@@@@
Xia Nuo immediately sat in Fang You's lap, swaying back and forth as she stared at him for a while, and quickly looked away—but then she straightened Fang You's gaze, looking intently at him as she suddenly started to grope him.
The two of them frolicked in front of the desk for a while, disturbing the desk to the point it made noises, even the wall clock started swaying.
Then Xia Nuo changed tactics with a smile, patted his shoulder, "You go freshen up. Aunt Xuan prepared breakfast before she left; go wash up, and I'll help heat up the breakfast, okay, go on!"
Seeing that Fang You had already closed his eyes, she gently set down her backpack, sat at Fang You's desk, and then took out her workbook.
She's actually started to study on her own!
Fang You felt somewhat surprised because in recent years, he rarely saw Nuo Nuo studying by herself.
They were always together daily, with Fang You urging Xia Nuo to take out her homework and then coaxing a bit beside him before, under Fang You's supervision, she would start working hard on her studies and practice problems. Fang You subconsciously felt that Xia Nuo rarely studied hard on her own.
However, upon further reflection, even though she was only a sixth-grader, the content of her study had already covered up to junior high school level. She couldn't have achieved this merely with someone else's supervision.
Nuo Nuo just had some resistance to things she couldn't understand, and currently, her grades in certain subjects were still far below the entrance standards of Zhendan Academy. There's a lot of room for improvement if she wants to get admitted.
So the issue at hand is how to get Xia Nuo to accept and apply those problem-solving methods that she can't comprehend.
That being said, although Nuo Nuo has had many tutors before, Fang You always felt those teachers were somewhat lacking, at least they weren't adept at teaching Nuo Nuo to learn the knowledge.
...
If others can't do it, I wonder if there is room for me to work with the system's power?
As Fang You pondered his next steps, a snap came from the direction of the desk.
Xia Nuo, dozing off while doing her homework, smacked her head down on the desk.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Xia Nuo, having woken up in the morning alone to work on her homework, seemed tired and resumed her problem-solving.
At that moment, Fang You suddenly noticed the wall clock above his desk was wobbling precariously, on the verge of falling.
Meanwhile, Xia Nuo was still engrossed in her problems, completely unaware.
Almost like an electric shock, without thinking, Fang You instinctively shouted—
"Watch out!"
With Fang You's shout, Xia Nuo abruptly turned around, and the wall clock that was about to hit her head "thwack" landed in front of the desk instead.
And almost simultaneously, Fang You, having shouted, rushed over and appeared in front of Xia Nuo, protecting her in his arms.
"Woah, that was close..."
"Youyou? I—I'm okay... Oh, can you talk now?"
...
Ah.
I let it slip out...
And with that, all the efforts of the past two days were in vain...
But, oh well.
This task was a bit difficult for me to begin with.
If I can't complete it, then so be it...
Fang You held Xia Nuo tightly in his arms, and then spoke softly:
"Alright, the game of playing sick is over."
