Becoming a life winner from infancy

The proactive and studious Fang You encouraged Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu to teach him more dance moves.

"Is this one okay?"

"How about this one?"

"And this one!"

Although he was just copying the moves, let's not forget one thing.

That is, the talent "Paths through the Book Mountain" granted Fang You a powerful learning ability, allowing him to capture knowledge more easily.

Clearly, as long as he could grasp the essence of the moves and perform them consistently, Fang You could be said to have captured the relevant dance knowledge, and knowledge energy quickly accumulated.

Fang You gradually discovered the joy of exploring the unknown.

However, such pleasure came at a cost.

Luo Xianyu was deeply shaken when she realized that Fang You easily mastered the dance moves that took her so long to learn.

Xian Yu simply lay on the yoga mat, pouting and grumbled:

"The skill that took Xian Yu so long to learn, Daddy learned in one try; what's the point of Xian Yu learning then!"

It seemed that Xian Yu refused to be outdone.

At this moment, Fang You also realized he was dampening the children's enthusiasm and quickly patted Xian Yu on the back to comfort her:

"Don't be sad, Xian Yu. Only I am this amazing. No one else can do it."

"Really?" Luo Xianyu turned to look at Fang You.

"Really, I'd be a puppy if I lied." Fang You quickly raised his hand.

[You've learned how to deceive a girl, knowledge energy +10]

Right then, Xia Nuo wrapped her arms around Fang You and said to Luo Xianyu with a sway, "That's right, Xian Yu, you don't have to be too sad. You You might learn those difficult moves quickly, but he doesn't perform them very attractively, so don't be too heartbroken."

"...Where is it not good-looking?"

Fang You frowned and said, "My moves should be fairly standard; how could they not look good?"

"Well… the poses are definitely standard, but I always feel there's something stiff about them, a kind of strange feeling… like there's no soul."

Xia Nuo pondered, "Maybe you should watch me do it again, and we can compare?"

"Then... maybe not."

Fang You's motivation was merely to capture knowledge by performing those embarrassing movements, so if you insisted that his movements were soulless, you had a point.

However, in contrast, Xian Yu noticed only her own impressive, swiftly grasped techniques, whereas Nuo Nuo could discern something deeper, perhaps showcasing her dance talent...

Fang You spent the afternoon at Uncle Xia's house, playing until the sun was almost setting when Aunt Lin, Nuo Nuo's mom Lin Yi, just returned from work.

"Hello, Aunt Lin."

"Aunt Lin."

"Oh, Xian Yu and You You are playing at home..."

As Lin Yi changed her shoes, she smiled and greeted the two of them: "Would you like to have dinner at my place tonight? I bought roast chicken."

"I want to eat!"

Luo Xianyu quickly raised her hand, "Anyway, if Xian Yu goes home, she'll just eat the takeout ordered by Mom, and Xian Yu doesn't want to eat takeout anymore."

Luo Xianyu's mom would be particularly busy during the summer vacation and often come home late.

"Then have dinner at my house, You You will you join us?"

At this moment, Xia Nuo also suddenly leaned towards You You and whispered to him.

"Come eat at my place, You You, and tonight I'll show you something pretty..."

"Oh my, what are you saying, why not tell Mommy too?"

Lin Yi said with a smile, "You can't be talking about that thing your dad bought you a while back—"

Xia Nuo quickly made a shushing gesture to interrupt Lin Yi's inquisition.

"Mom, Mommy, please don't say it out loud, You You doesn't know yet!"

"Alright, alright, Mom won't tell!"

Knowing her daughter's quirky mind, Lin Yi didn't press further but felt a bit more sympathy for someone.

The weather today was very hot.

Even though he had been busy outside all day.

But just thinking that he would soon be home to see his gentle and beautiful wife, and his precious, adorable daughter, Xia Anyang felt his mood lift significantly.

This was what made life worth living.

A hardworking dad must be dazzling too!

And today, he'd heard some good news from that old dad's place.

His kid might be going to a martial arts class this summer!

What did that mean!

It meant that his own daughter would have more time for father-daughter interactions!

Xia Anyang hummed a light and relaxing tune as he made his way home.

The moment he unlocked the door with his fingerprint and heard the noises coming from inside, he sensed something amiss.

...

!

Xia Anyang saw Fang You sitting at his own dining table, with his daughter and the neighbor's girl both close by his side, while his wife served him rice.

[Xia Anyang recalled that it had been a long time since he last cursed in his mind, "You little punk!" Emotional Energy +50]

"Ah, daddy's back."

"Hello, Uncle Xia."

"Hmm..."

After greeting Xia Anyang, Fang You watched Lin Yi place a roasted chicken leg into his bowl and said to Xia Anyang:

"The kids were hungry, so I let them start eating."

Lin Yi said with a smile.

It's fine if kindergarten kids play and fuss around together, I can turn a blind eye to it.

But what's going on now.

Why are they this close in elementary school?

Xia Anyang was really tired.

He washed his hands and came to the dining table, and although Fang You had become quieter and more reserved than in the past, Xia Anyang still felt annoyed.

"Oh, You You... I heard you've taken an interest in learning martial arts for kids lately?" Xia Anyang said with a smile. "I heard it from your dad today."

Fang You nodded, "Yeah, I had a trial class today."

"This is the age when you're growing, and I think it's good for you to get more exercise. When are you starting?"

"Dad, You You hasn't decided whether to go yet, don't rush him."

"Ah... haven't decided yet."

[Xia Anyang really wished you would just spend the whole summer in special classes, Emotional Energy +10]

"I think it's a good idea for you to go, you've been reading at the library all this time, it's good to exercise more, be an energetic and healthy child..."

"I'm very energetic!"

Luo Xianyu said, "Today, he even learned to dance with Nuo Nuo and me. He picked it up so quickly, my dad is super awesome!"

Upon hearing that, Xia Anyang frowned slightly, "Ah... Xianyu, you're still calling You You 'Dad'?"

"Yep."

Luo Xianyu nodded earnestly, "After all, I'm a daddy's girl."

Kids these days, with their odd phrases, they just come out with them so naturally.

But Xianyu is so cute, she's just a child, so I won't blame her...

At this moment, Lin Yi put a roasted chicken leg on Luo Xianyu's plate and casually asked:

"By the way, about dads... I heard from your mom that your dad is likely coming back on a scientific research ship this summer, Xianyu knows, right?"

"Mhm, it has been mentioned," Luo Xianyu nodded, "He's coming back at the end of the month."

"I wonder what Xianyu's dad really looks like? I'm so curious."

Xia Nuo rested her chin in her hands, showing an expectant look.

"You've seen Xianyu's dad when you were little, don't talk as if he hasn't been back for years..."

While teasing Xia Nuo, Fang You peeled the crispy skin off the chicken leg, which Xia Nuo saw and immediately excitedly lifted her chopsticks:

"Ah, You You, I want to eat that! I love the crispy part! Please give it to me!"

"It was meant for you anyway."

Just as Fang You was about to place the chicken skin in Xia Nuo's bowl, she moved close to Fang You, mouth agape, a look of wanting to be fed on her face:

"Ah—"

[Xia Anyang's silence was deafening! Emotional Energy +100]
