Becoming a life winner from infancy-Chapter 461 - 367 What will this place be
About Jiang Chao’s withdrawal from school, considering it involved Yue Yipei’s leverage, Fang You didn’t explain too many details to his new team members, simply attributing the reason to his ghost story that scared someone out of their wits.
"Since Senior Yue said so herself, now we have to believe it."
Wang Zihan nodded, "Honestly, Youyou’s ghost stories are indeed terrifying, I almost peed myself at the scene."
"At that time, I saw Jiang Chao getting nervous; turns out he was secretly listening to your ghost stories."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jiahao said, "So, the screams that we heard after the story might indeed have been from Jiang Chao."
Ke Lan and the others obviously found it hard to accept this outcome, but Fang You was able to convincingly explain it to them.

With this understanding, despite some lingering doubts, Zhang Jiahao and Wang Zihan were cleared of the suspicions of being "traitors", and now everyone was just waiting for the results of the bracelet hacking to uncover the secrets behind the plan.
That afternoon was free time, and Fang You was in his room, helping Xia Nuo develop a new martial arts finishing move.
At this moment, Xia Nuo’s phone suddenly rang.
Xia Nuo casually picked up the phone, and Fang You could tell from the sound that it was a video call, "Who’s video calling you?"
"Ah, it’s nothing, it’s my dad."

Without giving it much thought, Xia Nuo answered the video call.
"Ah... hello?"
Just as Fang You was about to remind him, Xia Nuo’s phone screen showed Fang Guanghui’s image.
"Dad? Don’t we usually video chat in the evening? Why are you calling now, during the day?"
"Oh, I just suddenly wanted to see you... I haven’t disturbed your lunch break, have I?"
"No, I’m in the middle of intense training with Youyou! We attended a super tough martial arts class today, Senior Yue Yipei is amazing, let me tell you—"
"Wait a second... you’re having special training, which means, Youyou is right there beside you, right?"
"Yes, right here."
As Xia Nuo said this, he flipped his phone around, and there was Fang You, looking stiff as a board—
The reason the flip of the phone revealed Fang You so quickly was because he was currently being ridden by Xia Nuo.
Nuo Nuo wanted to develop a powerful new finishing move to use against Youyou; physical contact was a bit normal for that, right?
But it was indeed a pose that could easily be misunderstood...
"Uncle Xia, hello."
Although caught off guard, Emperor Youyou was, after all, someone who had experienced grand scenes; he was [A Child of Grand Scenes]!
He maintained his composure, and reluctantly greeted Xia Anyang.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
Even though remote interactions can’t capture emotional energy, Fang You could still read a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and confusion from Xia Anyang’s astonished face.
Of course, Xia Nuo was still oblivious to the fact that he might be worrying his dad sick, and excitedly shared the day’s events:
"I’m currently having Youyou teach me a new move. Youyou was amazing today; he even defeated the gold-level martial artist Senior Yue Yipei, let me tell you—"
"Ahem, ahem... wait, Nuo Nuo! Even so, you can’t... you shouldn’t—"
"Shouldn’t what?"

"You should make your moves more, um, what’s it called, a bit more—"
"More what?"
"Ahem, what dad means is..."
"What’s with you, dad? Why are you stammering? If you don’t have anything else to say, then I’m going to hang up!"
"No, don’t...! I just wanted to ask if it’s cold over there with you."
"Not cold at all, the houses here all have heating systems, not like air conditioning, but still very warm. I only need to wear very little inside."
Xia Nuo saw Xia Anyang wearing a scarf, "Is it very cold at home right now?"
"Yes, after you left, it’s been continuously snowing in Mei City,"
"It’s been snowing for that long? Damn it, I didn’t see any snow in Dragon City. Why is it constantly snowing back home!"
Xia Nuo suddenly remembered something, "How is Grandma doing, then? She’s frail and can’t withstand the cold anymore. Also... I recently sent her a video of me in Dragon City, but she hasn’t replied to my message."
"Grandma... Grandma is fine, you don’t need to worry too much. It’s just that the doctor said she can’t overuse her eyes looking at her phone recently, so that’s why she hasn’t replied to your messages."
"I see."
"So, if there’s nothing else, should Dad hang up first?"
"It was Dad who started off saying he missed me, but he’s the one hanging up pretty quickly."
Thinking about it, Xia Nuo said, "It feels like it’s been many years since I’ve seen it snow in Mei City. I always feel like I’ve missed out on something very important..."
Just then, she saw Fang You hurriedly picking up the nearby phone.
"Who are you looking for?" Xia Nuo asked curiously, leaning over Fang You’s body to peek.
"I need to explain to Uncle Xia," Fang You sighed helplessly.
"Is this position supposed to be embarrassing? I see your ears have even turned red."
Noticing Fang You’s reaction, Xia Nuo wanted to try touching Fang You’s earlobe, but this area had been declared off-limits by Nuo Nuo for exploration; her hand was caught by Fang You as soon as she tried.
It wasn’t clear if it was the aftermath of "Forced Calm" or if he had gradually gotten used to the changes in Xia Nuo’s physique, but now Fang You wouldn’t salute his childhood friend with a cap off just from a simple touch like he used to when he was first hitting puberty.
However, some particular areas were still off-limits.
"It feels... very interesting."
Xia Nuo said with a pleasant smile, her lips pursed while Fang You was holding her wrist.
"Now, my heart feels like it’s beating faster."
"Are you still training the must-kill technique?"
Fang You said, "If you’re not, I’m gonna blast you off this bed."
"I am training right now!"
Xia Nuo tilted her head, "Anyway, you can handle the others; I just need to be able to handle you, and then I’ll be the genius who stands above You You!"
Dealing with me is such an easy task for you, huh...
At that moment, a knock came at the door, and Xu Lingyi’s voice followed.
"May I come in?"
"Would I be interrupting you?"
"Not at all; we’ve just finished our training. Please come in!"
Xu Lingyi entered through the door, and at that moment, Xia Nuo was sitting on the edge of Fang You’s bed putting on her shoes.
"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun! If I knew earlier, I would have joined you in practicing the must-kill technique."
"This... still isn’t possible."
Xia Nuo spoke earnestly, "You You’s way of dealing with me is different from how he deals with you. If you’re not at Sister’s level, you shouldn’t try it lightly, or it will be painfully bad."
"Even though it’s a very arrogant declaration of possession, for some reason, I just can’t find it in me to dislike it."
Xu Lingyi sighed, "I guess that’s just Nuo Nuo’s charm."
"So... what did you want to talk to me about?"
Fang You straightened his collar, and Xu Lingyi, who had flopped down next to Xia Nuo, now unbuckled his wristband and said:
"Remember when I gave my friend the internal programming code of my wristband during our visit to Qintianjian? My friend cracked the encrypted code I couldn’t solve, and there’s a map location inside the wristband. Let me show you guys the spot on the map."
"The location marked on the map has no sign in the real world, only a reservoir nearby, and the closest bus stop is 5 kilometers away from here; you can tell it’s a very secretive place..."
Xu Lingyi suddenly looked up at Xia Nuo and Fang You, his eyes filled with curiosity:
"What do you think this place could be?"
