Although there were many twists and turns, the misunderstandings between Nuo Nuo and I had finally been cleared up.

The cold war that lasted over 5 hours had come to an end!

By the time I returned from the infirmary, the graduation wall event had also successfully concluded.

In the final competition, since Class A and Class B had members who were injured, the actual scores were discounted, and the last round of the graduation wall quality development activity was ultimately adjudged as a victory for Class C.

Of course, this did not affect Class A's overall score, which was far ahead, securing the overall victory in the quality development activities.

All the members of the class gained 50 points in influence rating due to this victory.

As for the leaders, Fang You and Xia Nuo, although they missed the performance of the last round of projects, the influence they gained overall was still quite exaggerated.

Every choice made by Emperor Youyou was almost completely accurate, and because the students of Class A followed him, they always emerged victorious.

Xia Nuo united people around her with her sweet and adorable smile, along with her strong appeal and infectiousness.

This, of course, was also the talent she had displayed back in Mei City.

As for the person currently ranked third in influence, it was Class C's class president, Ke Lan.

Though the overall performance of Class C was far lesser than that of Class A, and also slightly behind Class B, Class C had the majority of male members from the "Secret Council" who were very willing to follow Ke Lan's arrangements and deeply believed in her words.

I don't know if everyone remembers the talent "On the Rise" that Fang You acquired while playing "Three Kingdoms Kill."

This ability, placed in the corresponding profession, allows the profession to gain extra professional experience daily. Simultaneously, when the professional's work results are well received, it also adds additional professional experience.

Fang You had linked "On the Rise" with the profession "Humanoid Succubus," which vaguely touches on an abstract concept—the relationships between people—

"Your amiable demeanor that wins people over displays the charm of a succubus, rave reviews! Professional experience +10"

"Your role as class president leading the students shows the charm of a succubus, rave reviews! Professional experience +20"

"The loving moments with your childhood sweetheart exhibit the charm of a succubus, rave reviews! Professional experience +30"

As long as Emperor Youyou's actions of kindness, unity, and affection towards his childhood friend received praise, Fang You's "Humanoid Succubus" experience would gain an additional boost.

But Fang You himself was already a high-charisma level 9 Humanoid Succubus. Normally, his low-profile and steady style would naturally receive widespread acclaim.

Thus, Fang You was creating a positive cycle; the more he strived to maintain good interpersonal relationships, the more praise he would receive, and this praise would significantly increase his succubus profession experience.

Although each extra gain in professional experience wasn't much, the frequency and wide audience made it substantial.

Continuing this way, he believed he would soon break through the bottleneck and become a legendary Humanoid Succubus!

Fang You felt very satisfied with his recent growth.

Meanwhile, the talent "Forced Calm" had regained its function after some time.

However, Fang You no longer planned to rely on this system ability.

While ensuring calm judgment in extreme situations was beneficial, this ability also erased a part of his humanity, leading Fang You to suppress impulses deliberately with rationality.

But the hours-long experience of bickering with Xia Nuo had gradually made Fang You start to acknowledge his inner desires and pursuits.

His future life dream certainly wasn't to become a personality-supressing algorithm machine.

Emperor Youyou must first be a "person," then an emperor.

After all,

Having basic human emotions and desires is normal, and there's no shame in expressing them.

There's really nothing to be embarrassed about.

At least around Nuo Nuo, there's no need to feel embarrassed.

You are someone with an amazing childhood sweetheart, Fang You!

...

Though that's what is said.

More often, childhood sweethearts don't develop romantic feelings largely because they know all the embarrassing moments of each other from childhood, retaining memories of the other being childish and annoying, as well as instances of quarreling (of course, a more critical reason is that they don't find each other physically attractive, so people usually don't claim to be each other's childhood sweethearts but rather, the kids next door).

However, such memories are scarce in the hearts of Xia Nuo and Fang You.

Only beautiful memories are left between them.

There have been minor frictions, but they always found them amusing.

Filled with the innocent charm of childhood.

And now, within these beautiful memories, some ambiguously sweet, youthful sentiments have started to stir.

After confiding in each other in the infirmary, Xia Nuo and Fang You had entered a close and intimate state again during dinner.

Going out to eat together, they held hands.

Of course, even now, it was Xia Nuo who leisurely led Fang You by the hand, but Fang You didn't appear enthusiastic.

However, when Fang You looked at Xia Nuo now, his gaze was no longer as straightforward as before. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Whenever Fang You and Xia Nuo spoke, Xia Nuo would proactively look up at Fang You, but Fang You would subconsciously avoid her gaze.

However, Xia Nuo wasn't annoyed by this now; she would just lean in closer to Fang You while talking, seeking out the gaze he avoided.

"So about that matter, can we or can we not?" she asked.

"Focus on learning during the winter camp," he replied.

"Forget it, it's indeed not very convenient at school. When we get home, and mom and dad are not around, there will be plenty of chances at home," said Xia Nuo. "If it really doesn't work out, I'll call Yu too."
