Even the dullest, least nourishing conversations...
just talking together made things feel relaxed, without any sense of aversion.

A few people walked to the entrance of the residential area, where Xia Nuo took the initiative to suggest that because she'd taken the teasing with Ling Nai too far today, she should buy her a drink as an apology to soothe her wounded heart.
Asai Reina was about to join in picking out a beverage when she touched her head, suddenly exclaiming in surprise.
"Ah, I seem to have dropped my hairband."
"Was it at the amusement park? I'll go with you to get it later!"
"No...it seems like it was when we were playing hopscotch. I was worried it would fall off, so I placed it on the bench."
Asai Reina said, "I'll go look for it near the children's amusement park first."
"Then we'll go buy the drinks! What do you want to drink?"
"I like watermelon-flavored juice."
"Ah...watermelon juice again."
Ling Nai muttered, "It's really hard to find that flavor in Yingdu..."
"Damn, Yingdu sounds like such a poor place, but I didn't think it was like that!"
"Oh, just buy it!"
Asai Reina went off in a huff to look for her hairband near the children's amusement park, while Xia Nuo and Fang You were buying things at the "Xiangyang Supermarket" by the entrance to their block.
Yes, it was Xia Nuo's dad's supermarket.
A branch of a chain store.
Right at their doorstep.
While Xia Nuo and Fang You were picking out drinks, just as Fang You was searching for a new brand of drinks he had never seen before in the fridge, Xia Nuo suddenly came up to chat with Fang You.
"You You, have you heard of the fireworks festival?"
"Uh, you want to watch fireworks...?"
Fang You recalled the recent news he'd learned, "I remember next weekend, there's going to be a summer fireworks show on the riverside in Binjiang. If you want to watch, let's go see it together."
"Yeah, let's all go watch together!"
Xia Nuo, holding Fang You's hand and hopping up and down, said, "You You is so nice, you immediately know what I want to say."
"..."
"But..."
"Did you think about going to watch it just with me?"
"Just the two of us?"
"Yep!"
Xia Nuo nodded her head, "Ling Nai seems to really want to go to the fireworks festival with just you. She said it would be more special. I don't know why, do you know?"
"Well... I'm not very sure."
Fang You shook his head, "It's probably a traditional custom in Yingdu."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I see..."
Xia Nuo pinched her nose and then, smiling, said, "It seems that even You You doesn't know everything, huh!"
"I'll know right away." Fang You, seemingly spurred on by Xia Nuo's words, said, "If you really want to go alone with me, next time I'll check if there's another fireworks festival—"
"No need, no need!"
Xia Nuo quickly waved her hand, "You just need to remember to watch the moon landing rocket launch with me at the end of summer vacation." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
"Ah, I do remember that..."
"But, your dad still hasn't agreed to take you, has he?"
Qiankun City is a very far one thousand kilometers away, even further than going to Yingdu, and the round trip will take a lot of time.
"Come on... Convincing my dad is my problem."
Xia Nuo used her finger to cover Fang You's mouth, "As long as you don't forget our promise."
Fang You slowly moved Xia Nuo's hand away, nodding:
"I won't."
Watching the moon landing rocket take off will surely also contain a treasure trove of knowledge energy, something Emperor Youyou wouldn't want to miss.
Yep, it's like that...
Fang You and Xia Nuo, carrying the drinks, went to find Asai Reina at the children's amusement park. But they had only walked a few steps when they saw Asai Reina standing at the corner, looking lost and unsure of what to do.
Fang You took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong, Ling Nai? Didn't find your hairband?"
"It's... well... I saw it."
Asai Reina stammered, "But there's a very strange man at the children's amusement park, and I'm too afraid to go over and get it."
"A strange man... how strange can he be?"
Ling Nai's words immediately piqued Xia Nuo's curiosity, "Let's go and see!"
