Becoming a life winner from infancy

Having lost the duel with Fang You, Yue Yipei finally recounted everything that had happened that night to Fang You, in full detail.

"So... you mean that it was you who scared Jiang Chao unconscious that night?"

"That's right..."

Yue Yipei said, "Because the story you told was so terrifying, and I just happened to run out in a costume at that time, Jiang Chao fainted on the spot. I took him to the hospital, but he woke up halfway. After waking up, he refused to continue going to school no matter what."

"No wonder I didn't see you or Jiang Chao when I went back that night..."

Fang You paused, but his expression showed some dissatisfaction:

"However... is that all there is to it?"

"Ah?"

"According to my understanding, the situation you've described doesn't seem complete."

Fang You said, "Are you sure you haven't omitted something?"

...

This kid...

Logically, he shouldn't know the real situation, right?

Could it be he noticed something from the expression on my face?

His intuition is that sharp?

Of course, the reason Fang You pointed out Yue Yipei's omission wasn't because he really had any clues in hand, but because of a different situation:

If what Yue Yipei said was true, then Fang You's random task would have been completed by now.

But it wasn't.

The mystery of the sea turtle soup remained unsolved!

"Alright... there is indeed something I didn't mention."

Yue Yipei swallowed hard, "But you have to promise that you won't tell anyone about what I'm about to say, okay?"

"I can promise that," Fang You nodded.

"Then OK, here's the thing,"

Yue Yipei cleared her throat and then said, "That is... when Jiang Chao got scared by me suddenly appearing, he got so frightened that... he wet his pants. He only realized it after he woke up, which is why he felt so ashamed and couldn't bear to continue attending the winter camp."

"I see…"

Watching the "ding" sound pop up on his system panel, Fang You immediately showed a satisfied expression.

"Now that I've told you the truth, are you satisfied? You should realize the impact of this matter. If it gets out, Jiang Chao's life is over, and I'll feel guilty forever, so... so..."

"I think I already got the gist of it."

Fang You paused, then said, "But—speaking of which, I find senior's behavior quite suspicious, don't you think?"

At this point, Yue Yipei suddenly realized something. As she looked into Fang You's eyes, she felt his scrutinizing gaze and a chill ran down her spine.

"Why is senior avoiding my gaze? Is there still something you can't reveal..."

Fang You propped his chin and mused, "I've thought about it carefully, and if senior wanted to hear my ghost stories, she could have just listened directly. Why hide in that spot? And why wear a costume?"

"Ah... that's, well, just a little personal interest of mine."

"Is it because of the shadow left from your time in the Meng Wang competition?"

"Fine, fine, stop talking! You..."

Yue Yipei tried to cover Fang You's mouth, but he easily dodged her attempt.

The reason Fang You had become so perceptive, of course, had to do with the talent he now possessed.

Fang You had unlocked a new talent—[Insightful Observation]

[Insightful Observation: Upon activation, the person you are directly looking at will be more likely to reveal their true inner thoughts.]

This ability might seem abstract at first glance, but when combined with the [Mind Catcher] ability, it became quite clear—

[Yue Yipei thinks, "There's no way he noticed me getting scared by his ghost story and wetting my pants! Emotional Energy +100]

In the process of Insightful Observation, if one is not truthful, it generates a sense of guilt, which in turn produces Emotional Energy, and Emotional Energy brings textual prompts from the Mind Catcher.

It helps Fang You to directly learn more about the other person's true inner thoughts from the Mind Catcher, thus ensuring that no one can deceive him in his presence.

Of course, this ability is based on the other person lying to Fang You and feeling guilty about it, otherwise, it wouldn't work.

Yue Yipei was the perfect subject for it.

"Enough, I've said enough. I've told you everything I should... and even what I shouldn't have, now you should be satisfied, right?"

"Hmm... I guess so,"

Fang You showed a naively cheerful smile, "But I'm still looking forward to senior making good on the promise about the Orchid Fairy. Nuo Nuo and I will be very excited!"

Fang You and Yue Yipei stepped out of the room, and at that moment, Wang Zihan, who had just been fiercely drilled by Zhang Jiahao, ran over with a ferocious momentum.

"Fang You, what were you and Senior Sister chatting about inside?"

Wang Zihan felt quite infuriated by Fang You's behavior, his face flushed with a warmth that was heart-wrenchingly adorable.

"We didn't talk much."

Fang You said, "Senior Sister was a bit unwilling to accept her defeat by me, so I was just cheering her up."

"Don't lie there! Haven't I known you since we were kids?"

He thought of grabbing Fang You by the collar, but Fang You instinctively dodged, and after several failed attempts, Wang Zihan stood with his hand suspended in the air, making a fist:

"And here I thought of you as a brother, but you, you're such a flirt! It's just too much of a betrayal of my trust, and of course, the one you've wronged the most is Nuo Nuo!"

"Huh?"

"Flirtatious is... What does that mean?" Fang You looked puzzled.

"Not enough with Nuo Nuo, Reina, Sister Mu Mu, and Joker Sister... now you're going after my Senior Sister Yue! It's always like this!"

"You You, since when did Senior Sister Yue become yours? Already calling her 'Senior Sister'?"

The teasing voice of Xu Lingyi came from behind Wang Zihan, accompanied by Xia Nuo, who also chimed in with hands behind her back:

"Actually, You You has more than just these!"

Xia Nuo counted on her fingers, "There's also Yu, Sister Meng Ran, Sister Meng Qing, and many, many more girls; everyone likes You You."

"Hey, hey! Nuo Nuo, don't you mind at all?" Wang Zihan clearly couldn't comprehend Xia Nuo's thought process. "After all he's done to you, you still... "

"Ah... What's there to mind?"@@novelbin@@

Xia Nuo said, "I'm happy that You You is popular with the girls; it shows that my little childhood friend is doing well, doesn't it!"

"Look at that, look at the difference in mindset."

"Wang Zihan, if you truly like Senior Sister, you should just be proud that she is admired by others. And another thing... After mentioning so many girls, do you fall for every one you meet? Now it's all 'Senior Sister' this and that, but what about Joker Sister from before?"

"I... I didn't... not... My heart still belongs to Joker Sister. The reason I said what I did was out of respect for Senior Sister Yue, which is why—"

At this moment, Fang You was intently gazing at Wang Zihan with a clear and frank look, and under Fang You's honest scrutiny, Wang Zihan seemed to have trouble restraining his want to confess.

"Actually... all that talk about encouraging and promoting one another with Joker Sister was a lie; she's hardly been in contact with me online."

Wang Zihan bit his lip, revealing his true feelings: Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

"But at least, I was the last to give up! I'm not the one to blame for betraying this relationship! It was everyone else, everyone else who betrayed me first..."

"Is it possible that there was no such thing as the 'feelings' you're talking about, and it was all just your wishful thinking?"

"Ah, but... but... you just don't understand them; they really were very good to me in the past!"

"Really?"

Xia Nuo pondered while shaking her head, "I seem to remember that Reina never treated you well at all—"

At this moment, both of them were wearing white Martial Arts uniforms. Xia Nuo's was slightly too large, the neckline a bit too low, revealing a hint of a mature bust line that seemed too advanced for her age. Fang You had already felt something was off when she first appeared, and it seemed to have loosened even more as she spoke.

Noticing this detail, Fang You immediately stepped around Wang Zihan and strode forward, standing in front of Xia Nuo to readjust her collar and then knocked on her head.

"How can you wear your clothes like this? You really don't know how to take care of yourself when your family is not around, do you?"

"Ah... it feels so tight this way, can you loosen it a bit?"

"No way."

Fang You's tone was calm yet firm. Xia Nuo complained a few times but did not resist further, allowing Fang You to fix her Martial Arts uniform.

"There, now it's fine."

"So, can we practice together now? The last time we had a Martial Arts sparring match was many years ago! I'm going to use my special move on you!"

"Not at the dojo. A simple practice will do, I'll play with you at home."

"Eh... but I want to try it now!"

After thinking for a moment, Fang You whispered into Xia Nuo's ear, "Then later, go to the dorm."

"Okay!"

Fang You and Xia Nuo's interactions were as if nobody else was present, leaving Wang Zihan dumbstruck on the side.

"See? That's how you treat someone nicely."

"There you go, do you have such experiences, Mr. Zi Han."

"I... uh... I..."

Wang Zihan bit his lip, his face looking like it was on the verge of crumbling, and Xu Lingyi suddenly felt a bit cruel, and so she patted Wang Zihan on the head.

"There, there, don't be upset! You're so cute, what's meant to be will be!"

Then Wang Zihan took a step back, his face displaying a look of delighted surprise, staring at Xu Lingyi with some uncertainty:

"Are... are you hinting that you want to start a CP with me?"

Xu Lingyi's eyes widened immediately: "What?"
