Chapter 327: 266 You You's Parent-Child Interaction (4K Chapter)
```
After school in the afternoon, Fang You, Xia Nuo, and Luo Xianyu walked home together, basking in the warm afterglow of the setting sun.
The world was now the year 2035, far removed from the world You You remembered from his past life.
The streets and alleys were beginning to light up with the neon of the city, and even a second-tier city that wasn't a provincial capital like Mei City rivaled the past prosperity of the top-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
As for megacities like Longdu, Shenyun, and Xinghai in China, their development had reached extravagant proportions.
It was said that these cities had begun to use holographic projection and autonomous driving technology on a large scale, creating an atmosphere that sounded straight out of cyberpunk fiction.
And his goal for higher education, Zhendan Academy, was located right in the heart of Longdu, a mega-metropolis of China, where he would be exposed to the top technologies of the era; to think about it was exciting.
However, the thought of having to leave in a year's time the city where he had lived for the past twelve years, with its familiar shops and street food stalls soon becoming memories, filled Fang You's heart with a touch of melancholy.
"You You, are you listening to me?"
"Yes."
Xia Nuo turned her head and tugged at Fang You's arm, pouting as she asked, "Then say, what were Ayu and I were just talking about?"
"About the 'Paru Ultra'."
Fang You replied indifferently, "You said that if you get into Zhendan Academy, Uncle Xia would buy you a 'Paru Ultra' neural interface."
"You did hear us... I clearly saw you spacing out just now."
Xia Nuo looked a bit surprised, disbelief on her face.
Emperor Youyou, who could multitask, would always exceed your expectations!
Luo Xianyu, walking on the road and holding Xia Nuo's hand, said, "Mom is working overtime today, can I eat at your place?"
"Sure, come on over!"
Xia Nuo spoke with a smile, "You You, do you want to join us at my place? Dad said the meals have been too bland lately, so he's planning to make us a lavish French dinner tonight."
"My dad has returned from a trip today..."
Fang You pondered, "Never mind, I'll come to taste Uncle Xia's cooking."
"Hey, hey! Uncle Fang rarely comes back, so why aren't you going to spend time with him?"
"Exactly, You You, you should spend more time with dad to strengthen the bond," Luo Xianyu said. "Once we're all at Zhendan Academy, it won't be so easy to meet, so cherish the time you have with your dad."
"But isn't it that Ayu's dad only sees him two or three times a year anyway? I think Ayu doesn't really mind..."
"I'm different!" Luo Xianyu insisted earnestly, hands on hips. "After all, I have two dads, and I've always felt their love."
"Speaking of which, although Ayu still regards You You as dad, it seems she has grown less affectionate than before."
Xia Nuo pondered, "Why is that? You used to love walking with You You like this, arm in arm, and you enjoyed cuddling in his arms before. Why are you reluctant now?"
"Ah... That's..." Luo Xianyu grew awkward and bashful when confronted with this subject, "It feels a bit embarrassing."
"My goodness, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"Everyone has changed, Ayu, You You, Uncle Fang... everyone," Xia Nuo mumbled. "We used to be so close with Uncle Fang, but now he ignores us and doesn't play with us anymore. It feels like a long time since we last played together."
"It's probably because he doesn't want to hold You You back."
"But this is too much! Let me tell you..." Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu continued their conversation about Fang Guanghui's recent changes, but Fang You was also contemplating this question.
When did dad become like this?
While it was You You who had motivated him to strive hard, it seemed his father was advancing along a path that was unexpectedly beyond Fang You's imagination.
Fang You returned home and talked to his mom about the day's events.
"Is your toothache gone? Did you take your antibiotic today?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Nuo Nuo gave me the medicine."
"Good that it doesn't hurt... Wait, Nuo Nuo fed you? "
Chen Xuan paused, "When you two are at home, are you already this close?"
"What's the big deal? I fed Nuo Nuo when we were kids..."
"I'm not saying it's inappropriate, I just didn't expect you would let Nuo Nuo feed you."
Chen Xuan leaned on her hand with a smile, "I remember when you were little, you'd refuse to be spoon-fed, always acting like a little grown-up, and now you're allowing yourself to be babied by Nuo Nuo." Find more adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
"It's not being babied..."
[Chen Xuan thinks you and Nuo Nuo are still a perfect match, Emotional Energy +20]
Chen Xuan had always treated Xia Nuo as her own beloved daughter or future daughter-in-law. Though still young, she was delighted to see the great relationship between the two youngsters.
"Your dad will be here soon; let's wait a little longer."
"Alright."
And so, Fang You and Chen Xuan waited to have dinner, expecting the father of the household to come home for the meal.
An hour went by.
The figure of Fang Guanghui, which should have appeared by now, was still nowhere to be seen, and Chen Xuan became emotional.
"Why isn't your dad back yet... No, I'm going to call him and check."
Chen Xuan stood up to call Fang Guanghui. At that moment, Fang You's wristwatch beeped with a video call from Xia Nuo; when he answered, it showed Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu squeezing their faces into the frame together.
