Chapter 324: 265 More Intimate Actions
?
Fang You had already given up on acquiring this talent, but he had not expected the system to trigger such a hidden mechanism.
"Does this system... not want me to suffer even a tiny bit?"
Now Fang You has random tasks, and knowledge energy is no longer so hard to acquire. Since the unique limit for obtaining it has been mentioned, he has no choice but to spend.
While holding Xia Nuo, Fang You clicked accept, used fifteen thousand points of energy, and unlocked the knowledge talent "Forced Calm".
["Forced Calm": When this talent is activated, if the host experiences overly intense emotional fluctuations, they will immediately enter a calm state to prevent emotionally driven actions.]
The effect was slightly different from what he had anticipated.
This talent refers to ["intense emotional fluctuations"], meaning it's different from the concept of ["absolute rationality"]. Common emotional fluctuations would not trigger this effect, ensuring that Fang You would not become an utterly logical thinking machine. Thus, this talent could be kept active at all times.
Next, it would be important to see if the aspect that the Great Emperor cared most about would also be effective...
"What do you mean by playing sick is just for fun..."
Xia Nuo was curious about Fang You's words, "Do you mean, you were just pretending to have a toothache?"
"Exactly."
The Great Emperor, one who can talk, has an unyielding attitude!
He nodded lightly, "In fact, I'm not sick at all, and I don't have a toothache."
"It was all an act!"
Xia Nuo wasn't angry about Fang You pretending to be sick; she was more surprised, carefully sizing up the childhood friend in front of her:

"I didn't notice at all. I saw you frowning and sweating the whole time, it seemed so real..."
"I still don't believe you were pretending. Let me check your teeth."
Fang You frowned and said, "...How do you plan on checking?"
"Just open your mouth for now, like this: ah—"
Fang You opened his mouth, and Xia Nuo immediately reached into it, and Fang You, although noticing it, did not dodge.
"?"
"Does it hurt?" Xia Nuo tried to touch Fang You's molar, finding that his teeth did not budge.
"Really doesn't hurt?" As Xia Nuo exerted a bit more force on Fang You's tooth, the Great Emperor's tooth remained still as before.
Xia Nuo withdrew her hand and went to the bathroom to wash it.
"Now do you believe me?"
"Then...what was the reason for deceiving us?"
At this point, Xia Nuo began to show some emotion, "You almost didn't talk to me for a whole day!"
...
Only a day? He thought it had been two days already.
"There wasn't any special reason; I just wanted to try what it feels like to be sick," Fang You said, "You know, I seldom get sick."
Xia Nuo didn't have much doubt about Fang You's explanation, "You could fool my dad and mom, and Aunt Xuan, but to even deceive me..."
Xia Nuo put on an indignant face, "However, considering that you also allowed me to take good care of you, which made me happy, I won't make a big deal out of it—"
"As if!"
Suddenly, Xia Nuo began to fiddle with Fang You unexpectedly.
She continuously attacked his weak spots, crazily fidgeting around his waist and underarms. Fang You was trying to let Nuo Nuo trigger his threshold, so he did not resist but stared into Xia Nuo's eyes.
However, once he had calmed his mind, it seemed like the impact Nuo Nuo had on him diminished significantly, not even reaching the activation threshold for "Forced Calm".
"Huh, you're not resisting at all, you!"
"I'm not resisting because you can't hurt me anymore, Nuo Nuo," Fang You said with a proud expression.
There it was, back again—the Great Emperor's confidence had returned.
I will no longer be tormented by this little girl to the point where I lose control over my own body.
Worthy of the Divine Artifact I have longed for to counter Nuo Nuo!
"Damn it, how did you become so powerful? Did you secretly practice some incredible skill?"
Xia Nuo found Fang You's detachment unbelievable, constantly rubbing and pinching, and despite all her effort, Fang You barely reacted.
"Alright, now that I have the chance, there's something I think we need to talk about," Fang You said earnestly. "We are no longer little kids, so we can't be as physically close as before all the time anymore."
"What do you mean we can't be very close? And why not?" Xia Nuo asked.
"Because we have grown up. Only little kids are always hugging and cuddling together."
"Don't... Why does it have to be like this?" Xia Nuo's tears suddenly began to flow, "I just like hugging you, why can't we? You You, how come you suddenly changed? You weren't like this before..."
...
[Your emotions are experiencing intense fluctuations, triggering "Forced Calm"]
Whenever Nuo Nuo cries, my heart becomes chaotic.
I truly am... such a mess.
Though Fang You's emotions had returned to a calm state, there were still some issues that needed to be dealt with.
He stepped forward to wipe Xia Nuo's tears:
"There, no more crying. What I mean is, we can't do very intimate things in public. After all, we're teenagers now, and if we're seen as having an early romance, it would not only be trouble for us but also cause a lot of trouble for Aunt Lin, especially at school."
The ever-present topic of puppy love in this era is still considered a "corrupt influence" prohibited by schools and society. However, in truth, both boys and girls now understand a lot more at an earlier age, and there were already rumors in the class suggesting that Fang You and Xia Nuo were a couple.
Mom Lin Yi also faced some pressure, keeping Xia Nuo and Fang You together as desk mates. If parents made an issue out of it, it would be difficult for her, as the homeroom teacher, to handle and respond.
