Chapter 204 Nuo Nuo is growing as she's experiencing leg cramps (2-in-1)_2
This sudden change could almost certainly be attributed to the effects of "Reverse Life."
However, if her condition continued to deteriorate like this, then taking her to the hospital must be considered.
Nuo Nuo was clearly delirious with fever, murmuring and mumbling increasingly in a faint voice, but the symptom of burning heat seemed to no longer persist.
"I'll get you a cold towel."
"Don't go."
Xia Nuo clung tightly to Fang You's arm, still mumbling, "Don't leave..."
Seeing Xia Nuo struggle in a drenched state, Fang You's feelings also grew complicated.
He stayed by the bedside, leaning close to her.
[You know what it feels like to be troubled by conscience, knowledge energy +100]
Fang You hadn't expected this talent to have such a strong reaction on Xia Nuo, and for a moment, he was lost in wild thoughts, worrying about Nuo Nuo suffering an accident and what his responsibilities would be towards her if that happened.
In this matter, Fang You admitted to himself that he had been arrogant, after all, in a sense, he was interfering with someone else's life...
Fortunately, after a passionate reaction, Nuo Nuo slowed down quickly, snuggling into Fang You's embrace and gradually closing her eyes to fall into a deep sleep.
Fang You acted as her support, making sure she slept soundly before slowly laying her on the bed.
But Xia Nuo still clung to him and would not let go, so Fang You lay down beside her, the two lying close together on the bed as Fang You stared blankly at the ceiling, listening to the whirring sound of the air conditioner.
Fang You suddenly remembered the memory of when he was a child, during a turning point in "Reverse Life," when Nuo Nuo had pinned him down and he almost suffocated.
Of course, Xia Nuo no longer remembered this incident, but it was still vivid in Fang You's memory.
It was the first time he had seen Xia Nuo since the day he was born.
That always drooling, cute pink starfish.
Back then, he was in a state of extreme disdain, but now he always thought of bringing her along no matter what he did.
They had known each other for so many years.
Fang You lay on his side watching the sweaty Xia Nuo, gently pushing back her hair.
Seeing her face relax into calmness and her complexion turn less red, Fang You's anxious heart finally settled.
However, just at that moment, a [Breath Perception] prompt suddenly popped up in Fang You's mind.
...
At such a time.
Fang You had little time to respond, and with Nuo Nuo still holding onto him, he couldn't shake her off.
Click.
The door suddenly opened.
A gentle female voice came from outside:
"Nuo Nuo, why is the air conditioning so low, you—"
Lin Yi opened the door and was immediately surprised by the scene before her:
Xia Nuo and Fang You were both lying on the bed asleep, Xia Nuo clinging tightly to Fang You's arm, one leg resting on him as she slept soundly; Fang You had his eyes closed, a peaceful and serene look on his face.
Lin Yi tiptoed over to Fang You and Xia Nuo, and Fang You seemed to hear Lin Mom's soft voice:
"Sleeping so soundly, huh."
The greatest benefit of childhood friends was exactly this, the open and innocent situation would not cause any worry to the parents.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, we were just children, not likely to overthink things.
Click.
Lin Yi took a photo of the children, the sound of the shutter making Fang You's eyeballs twitch rapidly beneath closed lids.
Aunt Lin, Teacher Lin!
That's a bit too much...
To record our embarrassing history, huh!
After indulging in her motherly whims, Lin Yi began to do the real motherly duties.
She adjusted the air conditioning and covered Xia Nuo and Fang You with a blanket.
Fang You awoke along with Xia Nuo, after all, it was better to wake up together so they could explain the situation to their mothers, and Fang You also wanted to check on Xia Nuo's condition after awakening.
Nuo Nuo, having completed the Reverse Life evolution, seemed to show no change.
But this talent was a gradual process; it would take time to truly take effect and be verified.
The awakened Xia Nuo remembered being feverish in a daze, and also that she had a very strange dream:
"I dreamt that my legs kept cramping, tingling and numb just like electricity, but once I woke up, it didn't feel like anything."
"Dreaming of leg cramps means that Nuo Nuo is growing taller."
Lin Yi passed a sliced apple to Xia Nuo, "Nuo Nuo has reached the age of growth and development."
"So the fever was also because of growing taller? I sweated so much today, I started to wonder if I was going to turn into a mummy."
"You silly child... what are you talking about? Normal people don't sweat like that."
"But I really did sweat a lot, it was so hot. Right, You You?" Xia Nuo wrapped Fang You's arm around her, nestling against him, "And thanks to You You for taking care of me all the time, constantly making me drink water to stay hydrated, otherwise, I really would have been done for, mom!"
While Xia Nuo was being affectionate with Fang You as always, Fang You suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrified, which left Xia Nuo somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong, You You?"
"My hand is numb," Fang You said, massaging his wrist, "You were lying on it the whole time while sleeping."
...
It seems I have to take back what I said about nothing changing.
Reverse Life is a terrifying talent.
Or rather, Nuo Nuo, who has been able to keep up with her own exceptional pace since childhood, might unleash even more formidable growth potential after coming into contact with Reverse Life?
But all in all, it was a talent-sharing journey with more surprise than danger.
Being a dad under the name of 'father' really isn't so easy.
Fang You had dinner at Xia Nuo's house before Xia Anyang came home, and then he returned to his own home.
Not long after he got home, Xia Nuo called him again.
"You You?"
"What is it?"
"It's just... I forgot to say thank you today."
"...What are you thanking me for?"
"When I asked you not to go, you stayed with me," Xia Nuo murmured over the phone, "Also, I've taken the lesson to heart... To avoid being eaten by ghosts, I'll study hard on my own."
"Suddenly becoming sensible?"
"Yep... I'm going to seclude myself for studies soon!"
Xia Nuo said, "I am going to do a special training at home for a while and probably won't go out to play."
"Wow... that determined?"
"After all, I'm going to the far-off Qiankun City, and I want to show my dad what I'm capable of!"
Xia Nuo and Fang You talked excitedly about a lot, giving the impression that she was indeed determined to study hard.
But Fang You couldn't tell if it was the effect of Reverse Life, or rather a reflection of Nuo Nuo's hardships.
However, this meant he was now truly a free man.
Fang You's main task was still collecting knowledge energy. If Nuo Nuo could only stay at home, then the likelihood of triggering random tasks from her would be quite low.
So before going to see the moon rocket, Fang You had to plan some activities for himself, looking for opportunities to trigger random tasks and obtain knowledge energy.
As for the options...
It seems he and Zhao Yueqing had a battle appointment.
So, the next day, Fang You headed to Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall.
However, unlike before, when the Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall used to be empty, now it was filled with students and parents waiting to attend trial classes.
In July, it felt like barely anyone came, so how did it become so popular all of a sudden in August?
Could it be that parents couldn't stand their kids making a racket at home and were eager to send them away?
While Fang You was contemplating this, suddenly a familiar male voice reached his ears:
"Big brother! You're here too!"
The boy who appeared in front of him was Fan Yuan, a familiar face to Fang You, a kid who had always been obsessed with big sisters and wanted to become an impressive adult.
"What are you doing here?"
Fang You frowned, "I didn't even know you were interested in martial arts..."
"Ahem... so you didn't come because of that rumor, huh?"
Fan Yuan sighed, "But I guess it makes sense, after all, big brother and I don't exactly share the same ambition..."
"? What are you talking about, what rumor?"
"It looks like you haven't heard yet."
Fan Yuan could barely hide the excitement in his eyes as he spoke, "I heard that this Martial Arts Hall recently hired a super pretty, superbly fit big sister as an instructor. I came to check if they were lying to me!"
