Becoming a life winner from infancy-Chapter 443 - 354 Gradually Degenerating Emotions

Frankly speaking, after knowing Nuo Nuo for so long, it was the first time Fang You saw Xia Nuo this nervous.

It seemed that even a child with such an extraordinary talent like Nuo Nuo couldn’t stay calm in front of her idol.

Fang You held Xia Nuo’s hand tightly, signaling her to level her emotions.

"Come, try to take a deep breath, inhale—exhale."

"Feeling better?"

Fang You looked down and asked Xia Nuo.

Xia Nuo shook her head, opened her arms towards Fang You, and whined, "Can I have a hug? I—I’m so nervous…"

"..."

After some thought, Fang You activated his talent "Deeply Hidden" while everyone’s attention was on Lin Xiao, and then he wrapped Xia Nuo in his arms for a quick embrace.

Previously, Fang You was very reluctant to show affection to Xia Nuo in public, and now he just wanted to see if the effect of "Deeply Hidden" could have a collateral impact.

It was just to verify the effect, definitely not because he had become more indulgent towards Xia Nuo.

Its original effect was to lower one’s presence, making it harder for people to notice them.

If that was the case, then while "Deeply Hidden" was activated, the person being hugged should also be affected to some extent—

As it turned out, Fang You’s judgment was quite correct, as their cuddle didn’t attract any attention from the people around them.

The utility of it might be much stronger than what Fang You had imagined.

...

Phew…

At this moment, Xia Nuo seemed very dependent on Fang You. After all, an emotion like nervousness was as rare for someone with social anxiety like her as the taste of failure was for life’s winners like Fang You, a very uncommon experience. After the hug, she went straight to Fang You’s neck.

"Feeling better now?"

"Mmm…much, much better."

Buried in Fang You’s embrace, Xia Nuo hummed softly, hugging him tightly. Since it was winter and everyone was dressed warmly, Xia Nuo went on her tiptoes and leaned into Fang You’s neck so she could freely inhale his comforting scent.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao had completed the overall introduction to the astronomy museum.

"Next, let us take everyone for a visit to the famous actual equipment of the Astronomical Observatory, please follow me this way."

The winter camp participants began to follow Lin Xiao as they toured the Astronomical Observatory’s related facilities and cultural relics.

As a national-level astronomy museum, the observatory boasted a rich collection of cultural relics and equipment. Lin Xiao began by showing everyone the massive structure visible from outside the building.

"This conspicuous bronze instrument is the Celestial Phenomenon Instrument that we commonly used at the beginning of the century to simulate the position and movement of celestial bodies in the night sky. However, with the progress of time, more digitalized and precise instruments emerged, such as this holographic projection equipment right here. Please follow me into this dark room to experience it."

The group followed Lin Xiao into the dark room. Xia Nuo held Fang You’s hand tightly, and soon, sprinkles of starlight twinkled within the room. A vast network of bright dots expanded, and a magnificent array of glittering stars and a breathtaking Milky Way appeared before everyone’s eyes, eliciting gasps of awe.

"Wow—this thing is so cool!"

"Breathtaking Star Map!"

"Suddenly I feel like our journey is the sea of stars…"

Xia Nuo, who normally loved to share experiences with Fang You, was now engrossed in the resplendent colors of the holographic star map projection. Her gaze was mesmerized for a long while before she snapped back to reality. When she looked over at Fang You, although the light in the room was dim, Fang You could feel her gaze almost melting into his.

"You You, look! That, that—"

"Alright, stop there, I get it, I get it."

Fang You patted Xia Nuo’s head with a knowing look that suggested everything was understood without being said.

"This star map records the positions of all known star systems in the entire Milky Way galaxy that we’ve detected, and with the device I’m currently wearing, I can touch it to access a variety of information about the stars."

After visiting the Holographic Star Map exhibition hall and coming out, a bright, clear moon greeted them, surrounded by models of various space vehicles.

"Next up is our Imperial Observatory No. 1 Display Hall content—our Moon Landing Thematic Exhibition Hall."

"As everyone knows, our Chang’e-1 mission successfully completed the manned moon landing objective three years ago. Since then, we have been trying to establish a lunar base on the moon—do any of you familiar students know what this project is called?"

"I know!"

Xia Nuo raised her hand at this moment, "It’s the ’Lunar Palace Project!’"

"Exactly, exactly, this student seems to be very knowledgeable about our moon landing project!"

Xia Nuo, receiving Lin Xiao’s praise, immediately beamed with an irresistibly proud smile.

"Currently, our moon spacecraft has gone through three generations of updates, and the related technology is very mature. The biggest technical challenge now is how to achieve a self-sustaining, recyclable presence on the Moon, especially the problem of water resources. We have already discovered ice layers on the Moon, but many challenges remain in efficiently converting it into usable water resources..."

The ever-curious Xia Nuo asked many questions about an astronaut’s daily life, the progress of the moon base plans, and how the location of the base is determined, to which Lin Xiao patiently answered one by one.

She then led everyone to the moon-landing museum to view some moon-landing related model exhibits, and the most important related sample artifacts.

"What you’re seeing now is a soil sample brought back from the moon’s surface. This lunar soil sample was collected from the far side of the moon, which is also the first time that samples have been collected from the dark side of the moon in the world."

"The far side of the moon is always invisible from Earth, which means there are difficulties directly transmitting data from there. A relay satellite is needed to transmit signals, which increases the complexity of the mission."

"Moreover, since the launch from the lunar surface has a zero-time window, the ascent vehicle must take off on schedule. Because the moon’s rotation period is a month, missing the window means waiting another month for another opportunity, so timing must be well mastered…"

Lin Xiao shared many facts about moon landing knowledge with everyone and then said, "Alright, now it’s time for free viewing. If anyone has questions, feel free to come and ask me."

Seizing the opportunity, Xia Nuo could finally closely observe the things she had been longing for so long.

"Wow, this is the lunar soil brought back from the far side of the moon..."

Even though she was looking at the lunar soil through a thick glass cabinet, Xia Nuo’s eyes still sparkled, "Lunar soil is formed from the weathering of rocks like mare basalt, and such sandy soil cannot be used to grow any organic crops."

Xia Nuo turned to Fang You, "Actually, many, many planets are like this, like neighboring Mars, and various other planets, all lacking that specific condition, forever missing the chance to harbor life."

"When you think about it, for Earth to have evolved into such a rich and diverse world, it is truly an amazing miracle…"

"That it is… a one-in-a-trillion miracle."

Fang You’s eyes lingered on Xia Nuo as he responded, but his thoughts were on something else.

Even though he was aware that his gaze might have been a bit too intimate.

He had to admit that since disabling the Forced Calm, his feelings for Xia Nuo were slowly becoming somewhat indistinct.

Watching the person you care about immerse in what they love invokes a very special feeling inside...

It makes you want to take good care of her, to protect this very moment.

And the sense of mission that it must be oneself who undertakes the role of guarding her at this moment.

So, does that mean—

[You’re experiencing that your feelings for Xia Nuo might have already started to subtly transform. You think to yourself, how could this be! But actually, it’s not entirely out of the question, right? Knowledge Energy +300]
