anwhile, as she was about to see the grandmother she had longed to et, Xia Nuo's thoughts suddenly beca disordered.
She had been leaning back in Fang You's arms, staring blankly out of the window at the snowstorm.
"Don't worry, Grandma must be okay..."
Fang You said softly, "We've been through such tough tis together, there's nothing we can't do when we're together."
"I know, I know... I'm just a little hungry."
Xia Nuo said, "If I'd known, I would have eaten all the bread at the airport. I'm so, so hungry now."
"Then after we see Grandma, I'll buy you lots of delicious food, lots of strawberries that you love."
"No, I want noodles."
Xia Nuo said, "Shaved noodles, glass noodle pot, and I also want that stead egg custard served in a tea bowl, and crab roe tossed noodles... "
"Stead egg custard isn't noodles, though."
"It's just that I suddenly rembered it, the one in the small bowl, the one we had at Zhendan Academy, and also... "
Fang You's interjection distracted Xia Nuo in ti, to so extent relieving her nervous tension.
Looking at the rearview mirror, with Xia Nuo and Fang You taking turns speaking, Fang Guanghui, at this mont possessed by the spirit of a great father, felt very complex emotions.
...
It seems there has been a bit of a change in the relationship between You You and Nuo Nuo.
Although they are usually close like this.
But it's obviously not the interaction of little kids anymore.
Of course, it's still not quite like lovers, after all, they're not talking about romance and infatuation.
Hmm...
It always feels very subtle.
[Fang Guanghui thought to himself, "You little rascal, you've grown into such a formidable, reliable child today, all thanks to the opportunities your old father gave you, emotional energy 50"]
Finally, the Porsche with its strong grip managed to reach the hospital where Nuo Nuo's grandmother lived. Fang You and Xia Nuo hurriedly got out of the car and after asking around, arrived at the ICU critical care unit where Xia Anyang was watching the heavy snowfall in the corridor.
The mont he saw his daughter arriving, he even began to doubt if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Nuo Nuo? Did you co here by yourself? Then You You—"
"Grandma..."
Xia Nuo gripped her dad's sleeve, panting heavily. Just as Xia Anyang was trying to lift her, Fang You caught up from behind and wrapped Xia Nuo in a cotton coat.
"Uncle Xia... It's complicated to explain right now, just... how is Nuo Nuo's Grandma doing?"
"She isn't really listening to anything right now, Nuo Nuo's mom is with her."
Xia Anyang said, also supporting Xia Nuo, "You should go in and see her too."
At that mont, Lin Yi was holding her mother's hand and cooing at her, her eyes welling up until Xia Nuo appeared behind her. Only then did Lin Yi react.
Seeing her grandmother's withered appearance, Xia Nuo's mood was very heavy.
Although she was sowhat ntally prepared for Grandma's current condition, seeing her so weakened, Xia Nuo's already saddened heart shattered instantly.
Piecing it back together for her was Fang You, who was patting her shoulder from behind.
At this ti, everyone slowly and tacitly withdrew from the room.
Fang You was the last to leave.
He whispered words of encouragent in Xia Nuo's ear and then left the room slowly.
Xia Nuo slowly took the seat that her mother had just vacated.
She reached out and held her grandmother's hand.
"Grandma, Grandma."
"I've co to see you, Grandma!"
Suddenly, Xia Nuo felt her grandmother's fingers twitch slightly.
At this mont, Xia Nuo was very excited, but her voice was very soft.
"Do you rember, Grandma?"
"You promised to watch a beautiful starry sky with ."
"You have to get well soon."
"Really… get well soon."
"I'm so worried about you... So worried."
"I have so many places I want to take you."
"I want to spend ti with you."
"We'll go during the sumr break."
"I've always known that your illness was very serious."
"But I know you didn't want to worry."
"But... if you leave without saying a word like this, then I'll be... I'll be very angry, Grandma."
"I regret being the obedient child; I should have always been by your side... right by your side... "
As Xia Nuo spoke, she grew sadder and tears fell drop by drop onto her grandmother's withered arms.
Although she said a lot, her grandmother had no response.
But Xia Nuo did not give up and kept softly expressing her longing for her grandmother.
Then, she talked about how much everyone loved her grandmother, how they couldn't bear to lose her.
"If Grandma really misses Grandpa too, I understand... but I still really hope, want to have another conversation with Grandma."
Xia Nuo said, "I want to take Grandma to see the stars, like when Grandma took to see them, when you told stories about the stars."
"If you're going to fly to a faraway star, please take one last look at before you leave... one last look at your granddaughter, okay... "
As Xia Nuo persevered with her calls, it seed that a turning point was erging.
"Mmm... ah–"
Grandma was muttering unintelligibly.
The grip on Xia Nuo's hand was getting stronger and stronger.
"Nuo, Nuo–"
Grandma Nuo Nuo slightly opened her eyes, and though they were still half-closed, it was clear that she had noticed her arrival.
"Grandma... Grandma!"
Xia Nuo excitedly hugged her grandmother, burying herself in her embrace.
That night, no one slept.
But at the sa ti, the violent snowstorm that had ravaged i City for half the winter finally cald down that night.

In the following period, as the blizzard ended, Nuo Nuo's grandmother experienced a ti that seed like a burst of renewed energy..
Although she wasn't well enough to walk out of her wheelchair, her complexion had improved a lot.
Xia Nuo took advantage of this ti to talk a lot with her grandmother and took her to many places.
Of course.
It was ultimately just a temporary improvent, after all.
Grandma passed away quietly on a sunny afternoon.
When she left, her family was by her side.
Nuo Nuo was telling her stories about the stars.
——
A week had passed since grandma's funeral, and it was soon ti to return to school after the New Year.
Fang You was also thinking.
If he had learned the talent of dicine earlier, would he have had more choices on the path of evolution?
For example, to prolong grandma's life...
The perfectionist in Fang You always expected himself to do better.
"You You."
"What's up?"
"I have a question for you."
"Do you still want to go to the Moon with ?"
"I can."
"It's not about whether you can or cannot. That just makes it sound like you are going with !"
Xia Nuo shook her head, speaking earnestly, "I an, for you, do you want to go?"
"I do."
Fang You nodded.
"How much? Compared to kissing , would you rather go to the Moon or kiss ?"
"Ah?"
"Alright, alright, I'm just kidding."
Xia Nuo nodded as if she had made up her mind.
"Why are you suddenly talking about this anyway? Do you have a way to get there?"
"Not right now, of course."
Xia Nuo said seriously, "But starting today, from this mont, I will work hard earnestly. This ti it won't be a fleeting passion; I will steadfastly strive towards my goal of becoming an astronaut!"
"Okay, there are many requirents to becoming an astronaut. You need to have at least a master's or a doctoral degree for the educational background. Then you must beco a pilot, accumulate flight hours and of course, physical fitness is also a major requirent, just like—"
As Fang You was speaking, Xia Nuo suddenly leaned in.
And then gently kissed Fang You on the lips.
Although it was just a simple touch of lips, it was of great significance to Fang You.
[Having lived a life anew, you have finally experienced the feeling of a kiss, Emotional Energy 1000]
But Fang You still kept his face tensed,
"How does it feel?"
"..."
"No, I an."
Fang You looked around for others' reactions, while Xia Nuo watched him with a face full of curiosity.
"How is it? How is it?"
"This is a library."
"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself just now."
Xia Nuo solemnly swore with her hand raised, "Next ti I'll make sure to rember to kiss at ho."
"There won't be a next ti."
Fang You emphasized to Xia Nuo.
However... This didn't seem to have much of an effect on Nuo Nuo, did it?
Just like that.
In their twelfth year, Xia Nuo and Fang You both experienced growth and gained new understandings.
Xia Nuo faced parting for the first ti.
And her dream beca more resolute.
As for Emperor Youyou.
His growth was almost unimaginable.
