Becoming a life winner from infancy

Fang You was dragged by Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu to a MUJI store, which seemed to have everything, to shop.

This chain brand is renowned for its minimalist, natural, and high-quality style, and primarily offers various everyday necessities for life, alongside a selection of home goods, food, and small fashion accessories like hats and socks.

Because the prices were quite pleasing and the shelves were full of small items, girls of Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu's age often spent a whole day browsing.

"I bought my cardstock here before, I remember it was over here..."

Luo Xianyu led Fang You to the cardstock shelf, where several kids were quickly attracted by the dazzling array of multicolored cardstock on the shelves.

Even the well-traveled You You developed quite an interest.

It had a certain... unexpected delight!

The ancient Huaxia master once said, "To do good work, one must first sharpen one's tools!"

If one wished to become a true origami master, relying solely on brittle A4 paper with strong resilience and poor shape retention wasn't going to take one far on this path.

Choosing the right paper is crucial for the final effect of the origami work.

In addition to A4 paper, wax paper, thin and tough, was also commonly used for origami.

This kind of paper is semi-transparent and smooth, perfect for creating the sleek bodies of insect creatures;

Creased paper had great toughness, and its special texture was well-suited for simulating the wrinkled skin of mammals,

while kraft paper was easy to preserve and wouldn't yellow over time, meaning creations could be kept for many years.

Under the effect of [Origami Fame], simply looking at these quirky cardstocks in front of him, Fang You's mind was already brimming with wonderful origami ideas.

He couldn't wait to create new knowledge!

Soon enough, Fang You's basket was filled with all kinds of cardstock.

At that moment Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu were also browsing and picking out cardstock, but their style of shopping was completely different from Fang You's.

"This cardstock is pretty..."

"I think so too... so cute! It feels like it can be used to make those adorable pajamas."

An entire section of the origami shelf, three-quarters of the area, was filled with colorful, pattern-rich craft cardstock, clearly targeting little girls like them, where pretty origami paper was far more plentiful than practical ones.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with that.

In an era when entertainment has become more technological, convenient, and diverse, the learning cost of the ancient craft of origami seemed quite steep.

Very few children could settle down like Fang You to delve into what seemed like "outdated," "old-fashioned" origami techniques.

After all, there were indeed a lot of fun things...

And speaking of the topics that children nowadays liked to talk about the most, it had to be the toy held by the kid crouching in the corner, motionless—

It was the Paru, beloved by kids all over Huaxia!

As Fang You walked around the store and accidentally kicked him, the kid was crouching in the corner of the MUJI store, intently operating his beloved Paru, completely oblivious to Fang You's presence.

...

Fang You glanced at him and decided not to disturb him further.

Good, [Deeply Hidden] really comes in handy.

And just then, Xia Nuo's figure suddenly appeared beside Fang You.

With hands on her hips, she seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Fang You.

"Hey You You, little brother, don't run around, do you really want your sister to spank you..."

While Xia Nuo was teasing Fang You, she noticed someone squatting at Fang You's feet.

After seeing the person's face, Xia Nuo paused for a moment, then pulled Fang You aside to whisper softly, "You You, look at this guy, he's so funny looking, he looks just like our classmate Fan Yuan, don't you think?"

"Yeah, of course it looks like him."

Fang You nodded, "Because he is our classmate Fan Yuan."

"Ah! Missed again!"

Fan Yuan grimaced in frustration, "Damn it, when on earth will I be able to catch my Queen Lily big sister?!"

As he got up muttering to himself and saw who was in front of him, Fan Yuan immediately straightened up and even saluted respectfully, "Hey big brother! Hey sister-in-law!"

Fang You and Xia Nuo got along well in elementary school, and many of the boys teased them as a couple, hoping to embarrass them into splitting up with such shameful gossip.

However, Xia Nuo and Fang You didn't mind in the least, since they didn't harm anyone, they could only watch helplessly as the prettiest girl in the class continually stayed by Fang You's side, fruitlessly allowing Fang You to extract Emotional Energy.

But Fang You couldn't extract any Emotional Energy from Fan Yuan.

Because Fan Yuan never envied anyone!

As everyone knew, his hobbies had always differed from those of other children his age.

"Big brother, big sister, you go ahead with your date, I won't tell the teacher; I'm out of here."

Just as Fan Yuan was about to sneak away, Fang You grabbed the back of his neck.

"Hold on a second."

"That Paru of yours looks very new, is it the third generation?"

"Right you are, big brother! Impressive observation!"

Fan Yuan patted his chest and said, "To become a remarkable man, I'm exerting myself to grow into a Paru master!"

Seeing that big brother was interested in his Paru, Fan Yuan also astutely offered.

"Big brother, want to see my collection of Parus?"

"Let me take a look."

Fang You hadn't paid attention to "Paru GO" since endorsing it at the age of 5, and was surprised to find out that the game console had reached its third generation with many people still playing; now, he felt like aspiring to become the new Huaxia O-god of this era, finding himself slightly curious about how fun this game was.
