Becoming a life winner from infancy

```

After proactively explaining the situation to the leaders of Zhendan Academy, the school arranged for Fang You and Xia Nuo to board an early flight back to Mei City, and they quickly packed and set off.

After Xia Nuo received a call from her mother informing her of her grandmother's condition, she fell into a deeply melancholic state.

She remained sullen, not uttering a word, and the smiles that were often on her face had completely dissipated.

Of course, Nuo Nuo wasn't always cheerful and bright, and the usual cause of her upset was her father, Xia Anyang.

It was Xia Anyang who would say things like not wanting Nuo Nuo as his own child, and who would stand her up during the Paru All-Star game – these were all 'great deeds' Xia Anyang had done.

But those were just family squabbles, so Fang You could still be Xia Nuo's support, helping her through her troubles.

Not like the current situation.

…

Birth, aging, sickness, death; the sorrow of parting and the finality of death.

Even Emperor Youyou would struggle to easily resolve such issues.

After all, his powers had yet to fully transcend the boundaries of human capability and could not break through the limits of current scientific advancement.

All he could do now was to properly accompany Nuo Nuo.

Just as Big Nuo Nuo had entrusted him before.

She kept her lips tightly pursed, her head bowed in silence, refusing to say a word. Fang You didn't force her to talk; instead, he quietly handled the arrangements for their return journey home.

When they were in the waiting area at the airport, Fang You went to the convenience store and bought some bread.

"Here, eat something."

Xia Nuo gently shook her head, "No... I, I have no appetite."

"You haven't eaten all day."

Fang You's voice carried a hint of reprimand, "If you make yourself sick from hunger, how will you be able to cheer up your grandmother when you see her tomorrow?"

"…"

Xia Nuo seemed slightly swayed, seeing her lips twitch, Fang You tore off a small piece of the bread and brought it gently to her lips:

"You are grandma's favorite pistachio, seeing you might just make her fully recover, don't you think?"

Xia Nuo opened her mouth to say something, but her voice came out cracked and hoarse.

"When I left, grandma was still fine, she even promised to join me to see the beautiful stars... how could it suddenly become so serious..."

The more Xia Nuo spoke, the more unbearable her heartache grew, and just as tears were about to fall, even the brilliant Fang You didn't know what to do for a moment, instinctively pulling Xia Nuo into his arms.

He felt Xia Nuo's body trembling slightly.

Fang You maintained the embrace, holding Xia Nuo until the trembling subsided.

Fang You could understand Xia Nuo's state of utter disarray.

After all, he had personally experienced it.

He had seen all the little details of the time grandmother and Nuo Nuo spent together.

From childhood, the grandmother had adored Xia Nuo very much, and Nuo Nuo had many fond memories from her time in Linmu Village.

Whenever Xia Nuo visited Linmu Village, her grandmother would show her all sorts of interesting creatures and tell stories that even You You didn't know.

Aside from her parents and Fang You, her grandmother was the family member Xia Nuo was closest to. Being suddenly told that her grandmother was about to leave left her feeling helpless, something Fang You could empathize with.

"It's okay... maybe by the time we get back, grandma will have recovered. For now, you need to eat something,"

Fang You said, "I don't want to see you hungry. It pains me too, and I worry about you."

"Just as you worry about your grandma."

After hearing Fang You's words, Xia Nuo suddenly realized something, understanding his feelings at this moment. She sat up from Fang You's embrace, lifted her head, and said to him, "I'm hungry. I want to eat."

"Come on, let me feed you."

Xia Nuo opened her mouth as Fang You fed her the bread bit by bit.

Chewing and trying to swallow, Xia Nuo then lifted her head and said to Fang You:

"You You... I don't think the bread tastes good."

"What do you want to eat?"

Fang You asked softly, "Whatever you want, I'll go buy it for you right now."

"I want to eat... I want to eat strawberry tips."

Xia Nuo stared at Fang You and said.

Fang You immediately stood up to look for a fruit shop, only to be pulled back down by Xia Nuo tugging on his wrist.

"I was just joking, bread will do."

"Whatever you feed me tastes as good as strawberry tips."

Fang You wiped away the tears brimming in Xia Nuo's eyes, "Would you like a sip of water?"

"Okay."

Fang You fed Xia Nuo water, at first letting Fang You hold and tilt the cup for him to drink, and then slowly Xia Nuo extended one hand to brace the cup, tilting it slightly higher, and continued to guzzle, the water running down the side of Xia Nuo's mouth which Fang You kept wiping.

"Don't... I can do it myself, you're making me uncomfortable."

"Ah, but I thought I was being really gentle."

"It's too ticklish, too ticklish."

The downcast expression on Xia Nuo's face finally brightened a little, revealing a slight smile.

Waiting for the flight was extremely difficult, as the very tired and seemingly interminable Xia Nuo soon fell asleep, nestled in Fang You's arms.

Outside the window, the snow continued to fall. What was once considered an auspicious heavy snowfall now felt like a demon torturing Fang You and Xia Nuo on their way home.

The incessant announcements of widespread flight delays rang in their ears, and as more and more flights were canceled for the day, Fang You found it harder to maintain his composure.

"Dear passengers, due to weather conditions, we regret to inform you that flight LM232 to Mei City Taiping Airport has been temporarily canceled. Please proceed to the hotel suites arranged by your airlines for an overnight stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will keep you updated on further arrangements."

"Has the flight been canceled?"

"There's no choice, the snow is just too heavy."

"I heard there's also been heavy snow in Mei City..."

"This weather is just so strange, this year both the north and south are experiencing snow disasters, it's almost like the doomsday from 'The Day After Tomorrow'."

"Shush, don't talk nonsense, it's not that cold."

"..."

At this time, Xia Nuo nestled in Fang You's arms also slowly woke up.

She must have heard everyone's discussions, and when she opened her eyes, she was very calm, neither crying nor making a fuss.

As passengers gradually left the waiting hall, in the almost deathly silent atmosphere, Xia Nuo finally spoke softly to Fang You, who was busy on his phone:

"We won't be able to return today, will we?"

"Let me think of a solution."

Fang You said, and showed Xia Nuo his planned route, "We can take a taxi to Jin City near Dragon City, and then fly from Jin City to Fu City. That way, we should be able to see Grandma in Mei City by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"It's so late now, and with the heavy snow outside, it must be hard to get a cab..."

"There's always a way."

Fang You said, "If worst comes to worst, I'll carry you to Jin City to catch a flight. It's not that far..."

"You're lying, it's really far."

Xia Nuo said, "Let's not go today."

"But—"

You must want to see Grandma at a time like this more than anyone else.

"Let's not go."

"I'm just too tired, I want to rest."

"We will take the flight tomorrow."

As she spoke these words, Xia Nuo was clutching Fang You's wrist tightly.

She gripped so hard that her fingernails dug in, embedding themselves in Fang You's flesh.

But her hand was shaking continuously, and her tightened muscles involuntarily evoked thoughts that she might not be able to hold on much longer.

"Okay."

Fang You agreed with Xia Nuo, "Let's go rest first."
