"About the research funding at Zhendan Academy..."
Fang You paused, then set the book in his hands down on his blanket and took a deep breath.
"What, what's wrong... Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yue Yipei stepped forward proactively, "Fang You, do you need your senior sister to take care of you?"
[At this ti, Yue Yipei also had a bit of a mischievous thought. She wanted to see your embarrassed state when caught off guard, so she didn't want to leave. Emotional Energy 200]
Fine, it seems like senior sister isn't entirely loyal...
Xia Nuo has beco bolder, not only attacking the weaknesses that Fang You revealed.
There were also areas that Fang You specifically said to explore later, and now Xia Nuo even dared to tentatively try them out.
But this was ineffective against Emperor Youyou!
Emperor Youyou had long had a strategy to guard his vital points!
[Detecting strong emotional fluctuations, [Forced Calm] has been triggered]
Fang You quickly recovered from the brink of losing his composure, taking on the deanor of a ditating monk, remaining unruffled no matter how Xia Nuo teased him.
At the sa ti, he was able to dual-task, chatting and catching up with Senior Sister Yue, attempting to dig up more information about various aspects of Zhendan Academy!
...
anwhile, Xia Nuo's mood also beca extrely joyful.
Although usually very close to Youyou, this ti Xia Nuo found it particularly thrilling.
Xia Nuo felt her face burning up, her heart pounding non-stop.
At this mont, Xia Nuo reached out her hand towards Fang You's chest!
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Compared to Xia Nuo's excited state, Youyou's heartbeat was not fast at all.
...
At this mont, it was as if Xia Nuo suddenly realized sothing, and slowly withdrew her hand.
At the sa ti, Yue Yipei also expressed her intention to leave:
"Okay, I can't chat with you anymore, I have to continue with room checks. Jiang Ping and Lu Chuan are waiting for ."
Yue Yipei had just turned around but then turned back to remind him, "In any case, you should go to sleep early and not cause any trouble, okay?"
"Sure, senior sister, I'm all grown up now; I know what's right this ti," Fang You said.
"..."
Fine, fine, fine.
You're poking at my scars, aren't you!
Rembering past events, Yue Yipei let out a "tch" and then turned around to leave.
Once Yue Yipei closed the door, Fang You was finally relieved; he lifted the blanket and rubbed Xia Nuo's cheeks saying:
"Hey, tell ... Did you purposely stick your leg out for Senior Sister Yue to see, just for fun?"
"It, it's fun!"
Xia Nuo rubbed her flushed cheeks, "Of course, it's fun!"
...
It was only for a mont, but Fang You could clearly feel that Xia Nuo's playfully smiling face was hiding a strange feeling she couldn't quite conceal.
"They haven't finished checking the dorms; I need to get you back quickly."
"Mhm."
Xia Nuo nodded her head, "But, hasn't the curfew already passed? Hasn't the dorm auntie already locked the door?"
"If they haven't finished the room checks yet, there's still a chance to go out."
Fang You cautiously led Xia Nuo downstairs; the dorm auntie was no longer there at the entrance.
"It won't open."
"It must be locked with a card... The neighboring supervisor's office should have a card we can use."
Fang You asked Xia Nuo to wait on the side, "I'll figure sothing out."
"Okay."
Xia Nuo agreed with a sound.
...
At this ti, Fang You was staring at her, which Xia Nuo found very strange.
"What's up?"
"At tis like this, shouldn't you say sothing like 'I'm going to be the thief Youyou' or sothing like that?"
Fang You whispered softly, "That's your style."
"Oh... right, right!"
Xia Nuo acted as if she had just realized sothing, "Geez, I was so nervous I forgot to make a joke!"
"Go for it, Thief Youyou Bond the Third—umph mmph—"
```
"Keep your voice down."
Fang You then moved quietly towards the guard's room, where the dormitory auntie, with her back turned to Fang You, was engrossed in a tragic Korean family drama, her appearance one of snot and tears, as if fully imrsed in her emotions.
Regardless, it was essential to activate "Deeply Hidden"!
Fang You had also spent skill points on stealth, and it was relatively simple to sneak past without injury.
He quickly located the access card and then left the guard's room.
But at that mont, he saw Xia Nuo sitting on the edge of the stair steps, hugging her knees and looking shrunken, appearing sowhat forlorn.
Maybe it was because of the ruckus earlier, she seed a bit tired.
However, the scene just now was genuinely perilous...
Thankfully, "Forced Calm" had provided cover, or else Nuo Nuo really wouldn't know what kind of ss she would have gotten herself into...
Xia Nuo only noticed him when he approached her with "Deeply Hidden" active.
Fang You swiped the access card, and Xia Nuo hurriedly ran out from the dormitory.

"Then, then I'll go back—"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Fang You called out to Xia Nuo, who was about to leave just like that, "I'll escort you back to the dorm. You're afraid of the dark, how can you go back alone?"
Xia Nuo seed to perk up a bit upon hearing this, pouting with a shake of her head, "I'm not that weak."
Together with the access card, Fang You left with Xia Nuo.
"But we have to speed up, or we might not make it in ti."
"Let's run back!" said Xia Nuo.
"All right," Fang You responded.
Fang You crouched in front of Xia Nuo, then turned his head to look at her, "I'll give you a piggyback ride."
"…"
"No."
Xia Nuo shook her head, clenched her fists and said, "I can run! I won't be slower than you."
"This isn't about racing... Hey?"
Fang You hadn't finished speaking when Xia Nuo took off in a sprint.
However, when the two arrived at the girls' dormitory, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
Right, it was curfew ti for the boys, and the sa went for the girls' dormitory.
Obviously, Fang You's male dormitory access card wouldn't open the girls' dormitory.
As Fang You was assessing the possibility of climbing up, Xia Nuo took out her phone.
"I'll call Lingyi."
"Can she find a way to open the access control?"
"She just told to send her a ssage when it's ti..."
As Xia Nuo was talking, she suddenly noticed the door to the girls' dormitory beep open, and she rushed in with her pass bracelet.
"That's pretty impressive..."
Surprise flickered through Fang You's eyes, "Her abilities are greater than I imagined."
"…"
Xia Nuo gave Fang You a slight push:
"Hurry back! Or else you'll get points deducted."
"Yeah, you too, hurry upstairs—"
Before Fang You could finish, Xia Nuo shut the door.
Then she ran straight upstairs.
?
Why didn't she say goodbye...?
Fang You imdiately noticed sothing off about Xia Nuo.
...
Indeed, Nuo Nuo was acting a bit strange, wasn't she?
Because Xia Nuo hadn't experienced any strong emotional fluctuations, Fang You couldn't use "Mind Catcher" to probe her thoughts.
Xia Nuo quickly ran back to her dormitory, then closed the door.
She covered her chest with her hand.
Her heart, agitated from the running, was beating loudly and rhythmically in her chest.
Xia Nuo slowly sat down, leaning against the door.
She gently bit her lip, then pulled the collar of her coat up a bit higher.
Moonlight from outside the window cast a serene glow upon Xia Nuo's face.
The girl harbored different kinds of thoughts.
A familiar sense of dissonance surged within her.
