Chapter 57: 056 Waiting for me to challenge (please follow, ask for monthly tickets)
Seeing Wang Zihan's face gradually grow red, Fang You maintained a calm exterior, but internally he began to experience an unsettling, enjoyable, pleasurable feeling.
Hehe.
Delight was bubbling up!
Damn it, when did I become this kind of person!
I must have been twisted by the system into some sort of Joyous Man.
System, bad!
"Why are you not speaking? You definitely don't like Ling Nai, right?"
Seeing Fang You not responding, Wang Zihan said irritably, "You like Xia Nuo because I saw her kiss you just now!"
"Nuo Nuo did kiss me, that's true, but... what does that have to do with you?"
A tiny suspicion surfaced on Fang You's face.
Shock was all over Wang Zihan's expression.
He, he didn't deny it!
[Wang Zihan is now seriously suspecting that you want to have the best of both worlds! Emotional Energy +20]
He clenched his small fists, with righteous anger burning in his eyes.
"Regardless, since you like Nuo Nuo, you should be more devoted to her, and not think about being with Ling Nai too and deceive her feelings..."
His voice got quieter as he spoke.
"What do you mean by deceiving feelings, can you be more direct?"
Fang You said coldly, "Beating around the bush, what kind of man are you!"
Under the imposing presence of Emperor Youyou, Wang Zihan immediately reported loudly:
"It's that... the amulet Ling Nai gave you! She gave it to you, the amulet."
Wang Zihan spoke seriously, "I saw Ling Nai's update; she said she gave you that!"
Ah... So it was about the amulet, huh?
He took out the amulet Ling Nai made for him and Wang Zihan's eyes practically popped out.
[Wang Zihan is very envious that you received Ling Nai's favor, Emotional Energy +10]
Fang You was truly innocent.
"But Ling Nai and I are just good friends, what's the big deal about giving each other gifts... She just wanted to encourage me and hoped that I would be successful in the challenge."
Wang Zihan was about to retort but then thought that Fang You might have a point and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
If you won't speak, I will.
"Zi Han, since you care so much about Ling Nai's feelings, you must also have an amulet she gave you, right?"
[Wang Zihan's defenses have been broken by you, he really, really hates you! Emotional Energy +30!]
Wang Zihan's face turned various shades of red, white, and blue, "But, in any case, since that's a gift from Ling Nai, you better cherish it, or I won't forgive you!"
"A gift from a friend, of course, I'll cherish it."
"Hmm... Hmm."
"..."
Watching the bright and beautiful amulet made by Ling Nai in Fang You's hand, Wang Zihan pursed his lips, his gaze following the amulet as it swayed, seemingly fixated on it.
If it were me, I would definitely keep it close at all times!
Finally, he couldn't resist anymore.
"Youyou, we have a rare opportunity today, do you dare to have a challenge with me?"
"If I beat you in the upcoming Brave and Smart challenge, then you have to give me Ling Nai's amulet!"
"Why would I do that? I don't want to."
Fang You looked bewildered, carefully putting the amulet away in his chest.
"Please, that's a present from my good friend Ling Nai-chan, how could I bet it away?"
Fang You then whispered devilishly to Wang Zihan:
"Besides, wasn't it you, Zi Han, who just told me to cherish the amulet?"
"No, that's not it... I was just testing you! Don't overthink it..."
"Then I'll go and ask Ling Nai to see if she's willing to make another one for you."
Wang Zihan guiltily touched his nose, "Don't! I'll give you 10 bucks, just don't tell Ling Nai about this."
"Okay."
[Wang Zihan felt embarrassed in front of you, Emotional Energy +20]
Fang You was satisfied with the waves of Emotional Energy he reaped from Wang Zihan.
Although the plan was to harvest Emotional Energy during the finals, it was certainly something that he couldn't have too much of, and besides, there was still the lottery to draw.
At the same time, Wang Zihan also made up his mind.
If he wanted to win over Ling Nai, he should perform well in the upcoming competition.
As long as he could beat Youyou, Ling Nai would surely realize he had grown!
Then she would add him back as a friend!
Wang Zihan had been deleted by Asai Reina from her smartwatch friends list for sending too many private messages and hadn't been added back yet.
"Hello to all the viewers in front of the TV! Welcome to the strongest cute kids challenge! The annual 'Moe King Show' is finally kicking off in the Mei City division. Speaking of Mei City, what a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, clear waters and lush mountains, and every child who has come to participate is full of vitality and youth!"
"Indeed, I saw that there are children as young as five or six years old participating today, and this competition must be a big challenge for them."
"That's right, among the contestants today, there are quite a few child stars and internet celebrities. The one you just mentioned should be our Mei City's little internet sensation, Nuo Nuo Strawberry Jam!"
The camera panned to show Xia Nuo's tender and adorable face on the big screen.
Seeing her face appear on the big screen, Xia Nuo excitedly searched for the camera to wave at.
"Oh, our internet goose is also greeting us and waving hello... Hi, Nuo Nuo! Would you like to have an interview with us before the competition starts?"
Xia Nuo nodded vigorously.
A staff member led Xia Nuo to the stage where the host was located, and Xia Nuo took the microphone, "Hello everyone, I am Nuo Nuo, and I am five years old this year!"
"Welcome, welcome! Thank you, Nuo Nuo, for participating in our 'Moe King Show'. It's quite rare for such a young child to participate. You must be the youngest contestant on our program, right?"
"No, Youyou is younger than me," Xia Nuo reminded the host, "He's one hour younger than me."
Then the host also followed up, "The Youyou that Nuo Nuo mentioned, if you're familiar with these two little internet celebs, you should know that's the drum prodigy who took the internet by storm, Emperor Youyou!"
The audience below immediately started to stir, as Fang You's popularity was not less than Xia Nuo's, and everyone was discussing eagerly under the hot sun:
"Emperor Youyou? Is he the drum genius who played 'Guardian of Flowers' at age three, 'Numb' at four, and sang 'The Brave Goo' in Yinglish at five?"
"Is Emperor Youyou here today too? Let me see him!"
"I want to see Emperor Youyou and Nuo Nuo Strawberry Jam together!"
The host on stage was also a fan of Xia Nuo and Fang You and naturally knew their background well.
"Nuo Nuo and Youyou really have a great relationship. I remember you were both on 'Love Preschool', you went on variety shows together, celebrated birthdays together, and you're also participating in this competition together..."
Then Xia Nuo took the microphone and continued, "We want to win the Moe King crown together. We've been discussing our final talent show."
Her confident response immediately elicited a warm cheer from the audience.
"Way to go, Nuo Nuo!"
"She's a queen, shining with confidence!"
Xia Nuo loved the feeling of the excited atmosphere and gracefully waved to the audience, showing her poise.
"Hahaha, it looks like Nuo Nuo Strawberry Jam is determined to win this year's Moe King Golden Cup, but sadly, there can only be one Moe King every year... Nuo Nuo, who do you think will win between you and Youyou?"
"Either is possible, I feel both have a chance."
Xia Nuo was seriously pondering this question, "But Youyou might let me win. I need to tell him in advance to go all out against me."
"Hahaha! Then you've got to give Youyou a heads up in advance..."
The ease and comfort she displayed on stage, as if she was at home, radiated a relaxed vibe from head to toe.
Fang You felt he couldn't learn to do that even if he lived a hundred more years.
Truly amazing.
Today, Fang You found another reason to admire his little childhood friend.
"Since Nuo Nuo is so certain about winning the Moe King trophy, you must be very confident about today's competition too, right?"
"Yes!"
Xia Nuo jumped around excitedly, "Youyou has already trained me, now I'm super powerful!"
"Good, good, what a lively child! Finally, let's shout out today's slogan together: Wisdom and courage challenge—"
Xia Nuo raised her right hand high, her little fist clenched tightly, "Wait for me to take the challenge!"
