Chapter 311: Nuo Nuo's loyalty, questioned by 252!
After trying to drive for the first time, Fang You finally unlocked the driver profession that he had longed for.
This profession started at LV6, a Master level, without any inherent talents as its core strength, signifying that he possessed a unique talent in various driving tasks.
This was genuinely a performance reliant purely on one's talent!
Worth mentioning is that this profession was not a driver but a pilot, which did provide Fang You with some peace of mind.
Although he had long forgotten about his past life, Fang You had always believed that he must have been an incredible person in that life; that's why he always had a cool and aloof attitude, treating everything indifferently. If his past life filter shattered, saying he wouldn't get emo would be impossible.
Uh...
Besides, the description of being able to drive anything was quite intriguing. Perhaps when this ability reached its peak, he could drive all sorts of machines, maybe even a spaceship.
It can be seen that the experiences one accumulates still influence the professional level, but the key is to have an experience that triggers the related profession.
And after the successful first test drive, Xia Nuo couldn't wait to join Fang You in more driving tests.
Simply put, the experiment involved sliding down a sloped ramp to test the race car's stability, grip, and maneuverability.
In the actual soapbox car race, various types of checkpoints are set up, akin to a challenge competition, featuring slopes, barriers, and the like.
This required the pusher to have enough strength to move forward; otherwise, they would stop due to lack of power when entering buffer zones.
This was why Fang You definitely needed an adult to help push.
So, at this stage, test driving by just relying on Ayu pushing from behind was no longer sufficient.
Meng Qing, it has been decided—it's you!
Fang You summoned Meng Qing to prepare for the race practice.
As a disciple at the master's command, I will certainly give it my all.
Upon receiving the message from her master, Meng Qing immediately canceled her Saturday schedule. Nothing was more important than her master!
After all, it had been a long time since she had seen Xia Nuo, and she was also looking forward to seeing how "Madam" was doing now.
Meng Qing's car was the latest model of this year's White Dolphin S7, a trendy vehicle designed for women by BYD that has stood the test of time, compact and agile with outstanding looks, as eye-catching on the road as Meng Qing walking on it.
Meng Qing parked her car and arrived at the sports park—the meeting spot she had arranged with Fang You and Xia Nuo.
At that moment, Xia Nuo was joking with Fang You. Seeing Meng Qing, she immediately waved vigorously and greeted her long-unseen sister.
"Long time no see, Sister Meng Qing!"
Surprised at the sight of the 11-year-old girl who was almost the same height as her, Meng Qing took off her sunglasses:
"Wait, wait a second... Are you Nuo Nuo?"
"Eh, what's up, don't you recognize me?"
Xia Nuo, with her hands behind her back and a smile, said, "I think Sister Meng Qing hasn't changed at all! As pretty as before!"
To a young lady who is past her early twenties, "as pretty as before" is an extremely flattering remark. Naturally, Meng Qing was delighted. She smiled and patted Xia Nuo on the head:
"Do kids these days grow up this fast? You're not even 12 yet, but you feel almost as tall as an adult..."
People often say a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood, but even then, most changes happen after they've started growing rapidly at fifteen or sixteen and change again once they learn how to do makeup around age twenty.
This Nuo Nuo is 12 and already seems to be well ahead!
Is it really okay for children to develop so early?
Although Meng Qing had heard about bone age before, with Nuo Nuo's height, even if she stopped growing now, she would already have a standard model figure...
No wonder Emperor Youyou didn't take his rapid growth too seriously.
In comparison, without comparison, there is no harm!
As for Meng Qing's surprise, Xia Nuo didn't mind it.
"Tsk tsk... I think Sister Meng Qing has developed very well!"
Xia Nuo hugged Meng Qing and got comfortably close, just right to bury her face in her embrace, "Sister Meng Qing is so soft and comforting to hug!" Explore new worlds at empire
"Ah... That's something you don't just say out loud..."
Meng Qing seemed a bit embarrassed, but at that moment, Xia Nuo suddenly changed her expression to a serious one:
"I've found the weakness!"
Xia Nuo took advantage of Meng Qing's relaxed guard to suddenly reach into her clothes and launch a vigorous attack—rubbing, kneading, and pinching. Caught off guard, Meng Qing took a while to react and couldn't defend herself.
By the time Meng Qing tried to struggle, she found that Xia Nuo was surprisingly strong—Xia Nuo had inherited Fang You's physical enhancement talent, which was far more than Meng Qing's, and she couldn't easily fend off Xia Nuo's assault without being serious.
Afterward, Meng Qing, still laughing, surrendered with her hands up, "Okay, okay... Nuo Nuo... Haha, I, I've lost, don't play with your sister anymore."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems your disciple skills haven't improved, your training level is still lacking... I, your Mistress, am disappointed in you."
Xia Nuo, with her hips akimbo and head down, expressed her regrets, "You can't neglect your training just because Youyou and I don't have time to teach you."
"Mistress is correct…"
Meng Qing seemed to really immerse herself in the roleplay of master and disciple, having a great time with Xia Nuo and Fang You.
Meanwhile, Fang You watched the delightful scene of Meng Qing being overpowered by Xia Nuo with a relaxed and enjoying mood.
Uh... No matter how much of an Emperor I am, after all, I'm still a boy.
In this world, there isn't a single boy who would refuse to watch girls fight, right?
Just then, a text prompt from Fang You's system suddenly appeared:
[Luo Xianyu is doubting your loyalty to Nuo Nuo! Emotional Energy +100*10]
?
Fang You glanced at Luo Xianyu, who had been silent the whole time.
At that moment, Luo Xianyu was pouting and frowning with her knitted "eight characters" brows; this was the highest level of emotional outburst she could muster. She had, for a long time, refrained from losing her temper with Fang You, but now she let it happen.
The reason was her questioning of Fang You's loyalty.
Even though she grew up with Xia Nuo and Fang You, in Luo Xianyu's eyes, "Daddy" You You only ever had one wife from the days of their childhood.
And that was Nuo Nuo!
Keen readers might've already noticed that, after entering the sixth grade, even though many scenes involved the trio together, the author did not describe Luo Xianyu's reactions.
This wasn't because the author was lazy and didn't write about Ayu, but because Luo Xianyu had grown accustomed to their intimate gestures. She was so accustomed to it that she didn't even need to avoid them; she would just yawn and watch them bicker.
Do you think Ayu started noticing Fang You and Xia Nuo being affectionate when?
Not in fifth grade, not in fourth grade, nor in third grade.
But at the age of 3!
Ayu's Emotional Energy was mercilessly drained by Emperor Youyou when she was just 3 and had started kindergarten. But back then, it was because she was jealous of Youyou, as he could be close to Nuo Nuo. Luo Xianyu envied this but didn't dare to express it, not until she started befriending Fang You, which improved her situation.
But even at the age of 9, despite the time when Luo Xianyu and Fang You were as close as father and daughter, she never felt jealous of Xia Nuo and Fang You's affection.
Because Luo Xianyu had a clear understanding of her place and possessed a strong sense of self-awareness, she could maintain her status today.
She knew that, in Fang You's eyes, Nuo Nuo was the best friend, and she certainly wouldn't compete for that title.
After all, she was already Youyou's daughter. Outside of home, the face given by her dad made school and vacations extremely comfortable. She had everything she desired.
She didn't need to compete for anything!
And she certainly wouldn't now!
Nuo Nuo and Youyou being affectionate? She naturally couldn't care less.
After all, it was an age-old tradition, the original order of daily life.
Simply put, Ayu is Nuo Nuo's guardian!
But!
If Youyou were to change his heart, it would represent a crack in the order of life.
Ayu would never allow it to happen!
Seeing Ayu's somewhat ruffled appearance, Fang You felt that things weren't looking good and restrained his smile, coughing to remind Xia Nuo:
"Nuo Nuo, stop teasing your sister Meng Qing. You should also introduce Ayu."
"Ah, right right... I forgot about that."
Xia Nuo got up from Meng Qing and pulled her over to Luo Xianyu's side.
"Sister Meng Qing, let me introduce you—"
Just as Xia Nuo was about to introduce Luo Xianyu's background to Meng Qing, Luo Xianyu preempted with her own introduction:
"My name is Luo Xianyu. I am Nuo Nuo's best female friend and also Youyou's best female friend aside from Nuo Nuo."
Luo Xianyu thought for a moment, then added, "I used to call Youyou 'Daddy,' which is much more intimate than calling him 'Master.'"
"Ayu is actually being so generous with her introduction; it looks like she's grown up," Xia Nuo mused, already beside Fang You, rubbing her eyes, and putting on a reflective, regretful expression.
Grown up, huh?
This...
Fang You didn't think so.
It was more like a declaration of sovereignty...
And it felt rather aggressive.
But Meng Qing couldn't sense it.
After all, the age difference between her and them was there, and she still viewed them as little kids, oblivious to the emotions in Ayu's words, finding them cute instead.
"I see, you two must have a really nice relationship," Meng Qing said, patting Luo Xianyu on the head.
"So, you have a very remarkable dad, huh?"
"Not exactly."
"I have two very remarkable dads!"
Luo Xianyu then proceeded to share with Meng Qing the extraordinary tales of her dad exploring the seas.
Luo Xianyu, after all, had pretty good grades in Chinese, and had more strategical thoughts in this regard than Xia Nuo.
She did this to reinforce the notion that she had powerful support behind her, making Meng Qing think twice before attempting to disturb her peaceful and harmonious family relationship.
"Alright, alright, now that everyone's got acquainted..."
Xia Nuo said eagerly, rubbing her hands as if itching to start, "Let's begin today's racing training!"
