"It's not just our high school friends, I've also invited friends from Dragon City. Oh right, Uncle Aizha and Sister Qiaoen, we've asked them to co too, and classmates we t at Zhendan Academy. Anyway, the more the rrier!"
"..."
[Song Hang, who suffers from social anxiety, fears eting a bunch of strangers, Emotional Energy 100]
Seeing Song Hang's once confident face becoming sowhat tense, Fang You couldn't help but try to encourage him:
"You are no longer the person you used to be, uncle. Everyone will be surprised when they see you."
Over the years, under the guise of "In the Na of the Father," Fang You had instilled a lot of talent into Song Hang, significantly enhancing his external conditions, which in turn made him much more capable when working and doing tasks for him.
Beyond these secrets, Fang You felt there was another reason for uncle's reverse aging—it was because he was now engaged in the work he used to be most devoted to.
The Holand Project related fields.
Although Uncle has never discussed the reasons behind being laid off as a source code designer years ago, Fang You could clearly feel that he truly enjoyed his current job—
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to chat with so many team mbers with such ease.
Uncle only avoided social anxiety when he was deeply imrsed in serious work.
Fang You gave Uncle a motorho so that he could drive everyone there.
However, the number of friends Xia Nuo planned to invite was simply too many, and they would need more drivers.
"Besides Uncle, Uncle Aizha, Sister Qiaoen, oh right, Lingyi said he wants to bring a friend this ti."
"You You, why do you think Uncle doesn't want to find a partner?"
"Hmm... I think so people are just born to enjoy solitude."
Before he t Nuo Nuo in his previous life, Fang You himself thought one could be happy alone, so he didn't really care about finding a partner at a certain age.
"No! He must have soone on his mind, do you know who?" Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Why do you say that..."
Xia Nuo said, "His expression changes whenever this topic cos up."
"It's like Auntie Xiaochun, although she says she's moved on, every ti she cos to my house for dinner and sees my parents lovingly together, her expression becos a little... subtle. That expression is very similar to Uncle's when he talks about these things."
Fang You listened to Xia Nuo talking, and as the number of guests she ntioned kept increasing, he suddenly felt sothing was off:
"...Wait a minute, just how many people are you planning to invite to watch the teor shower?"
Fang You said, "You ntioned even inviting classmates from Zhendan Academy."
"Yeah, I've asked around a whole bunch!"
Xia Nuo excitedly said, "After all, it's a spectacular view that cos around only once every 33 years. How many sets of 33 years does one have in life? I feel like I'll only have at most three, sigh, it's really too short."
"Three isn't enough for you?"
Fang You pinched Xia Nuo's nose, "By then you'll be 99 years old."
"But compared to the astronomical lifespans of those stars, it's really too brief."
Xia Nuo humd, hands behind her back circling around Fang You, "I'm actually not very greedy, I just need one millionth of those stars' lifespans."
"Lifespans of stars start in the billions, at the very least, you're living several hundred years."
"Hahaha, there are shorter ones too... like that Epsilon-9 recently discovered, it's the star with the shortest known lifespan in the universe, right, just 2 million years."
Xia Nuo said, "It's an extraordinary supergiant star that's less than a hundred light-years away from us, and it was only recently observed. What was it doing before that?"
"That's what supergiant stars do."
Fang You said, "They're so massive, fusion reactions occur so quickly, they burn out in no ti."
"It's like they're saying, the more talented and brilliant a person is, the shorter their life may be."
Xia Nuo said, "Because they have to shine and radiate heat all the ti..."
Just then, she seed to realize sothing, and imdiately smacked her mouth, "Ah ptooey, I shouldn't speak so carelessly, help wipe my mouth!"
"You, a person who's into scientific inventions, since when did you start caring about this—"
Before Fang You could make a sarcastic remark, Xia Nuo pulled Fang You's hand to her mouth and wiped it.
The soft touch of Xia Nuo's lips made the back of Fang You's hand feel a warm sensation as he experienced the touch.
Longingly, longingly, the day to watch the teor shower together was also drawing near.
Otherwise, he couldn't have managed to chat with so many team mbers with such ease.
The uncle only avoided social anxiety when he was deeply imrsed in serious work.
Fang You gave the uncle a camper van so that he could drive everyone there when the ti ca.
But Xia Nuo had invited so many friends that they would still need several people to drive.
"Besides uncle, Uncle Aicha, Sister Qiaoen, oh right, Lingyi said he wants to bring a friend this ti."
"You You, why do you think uncle doesn't want to find a partner?"
"Hmm... I think so people are just naturally inclined to be alone."
Before he had t Nuo Nuo in his previous life, Fang You himself felt that one could be happy alone, so he didn't care much about whether it was the right age to find a partner.
"No! He must still have soone in his heart, you know!"
"Why do you say that..."
Xia Nuo said, "I can see his expression changes when he talks about this topic."
"Aunty Xiaochun is like that. Even though she says she has let go, every ti she cos to my house for dinner and sees my dad and mom lovingly together, her expression still becos a bit subtle... Her expression looks very similar to the uncle's when he talks."
As Fang You listened to Xia Nuo talking, and then heard her continue about the growing number of people she was inviting, he suddenly felt sothing was off:
"...Say, how many people are you planning to invite to watch the teor shower together?"
Fang You said, "I see you've even invited classmates from Zhendan Academy."
"Yeah, I've asked around!"
Xia Nuo said excitedly, "After all, it's a rare sight that happens once every 33 years. How many 33-year periods do we have in a life? I feel I have at most three, sigh, it's really too short."
"Three isn't enough for you?"
Fang You pinched Xia Nuo's nose, "By then you'll be 99 years old."
"But compared to the astronomical lifespan of those stars, it really is very brief."
Xia Nuo humd as she walked around Fang You with her hands behind her back, "I'm actually not a very greedy person; I'd be content with just one-millionth of those stars' lifespan."
"The lifespan of a star starts at billions, you're looking at living a few hundred years at the minimum."
"Hahaha, there are shorter-lived ones too... like the recently discovered Epsilon-9 star, it's currently the shortest-lived star known in the universe, right, only 2 million years."
Xia Nuo said, "It's a supergiant star not even a hundred light-years away from us, and it was only recently observed. What was it doing before?"
"That's how supergiant stars are."
Fang You said, "Their mass is too great, fusion reactions too fast, naturally, they burn out quickly."
"That's like saying the more talented and brilliant people are, the shorter their lives are."
Xia Nuo said, "Because they have to keep shining and giving off heat on their own..."
At that mont, she suddenly realized sothing, imdiately smacked her mouth, "Ah spit spit spit, I shouldn't talk nonsense like this, co wipe my mouth!"
