Becoming a life winner from infancy

"What's the matter, thinking about me?"

Fang You was now seated in the same row as Wang Zihan, so he had seen all the intense inner turmoil that had just played out within Wang Zihan's heart.

Wang Zihan's thoughts were all over his face, the easily readable type that everyone could understand.

Such a reassuring kid.

"Hmm... Ah, that, well... I did have that thought."

Wang Zihan cleared his throat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then, with a forced laugh, said cheerily:

"Fang You, actually, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Speak."

"The guests received the program team's arrangement; there will be a segment for interacting and battling with netizens on site."

"Since you are the original spokesperson for Paru catches, I was thinking about inviting you and Nuo Nuo as special guests to join me for a Paru duel. I feel the stage effect would be better that way, but it's up to you whether you're interested or not!"

Wang Zihan extended the invitation to Fang You with feigned nonchalance, making sure not to let him see any ulterior motives.

However, upon hearing this, Fang You seemed to hesitate, unable to decide.

"Hmm..."

What's wrong, You You?

Weren't you all that? Don't tell me you're now second-guessing yourself over a Paru fight!

[Wang Zihan is really afraid you will refuse to come, Emotional Energy +30*2]

Fang You deliberately kept Wang Zihan hanging for a while, then finally spoke with a smile:

"Sure, no problem."

"Great, you're a true bro!" Wang Zihan slapped Fang You's shoulder vigorously, "I knew I could count on you."

"But Nuo Nuo didn't bring her Paru catch this time, so I'll just fight you."

Fang You loosened his fists and put on an easygoing air, while Wang Zihan continued with a laugh:

"That's fine too, haha! But you might have to go easy on me then."

"There's no need for any talk of going easy. Everyone should just bring their A-game and compete."

Ha, hahaha!

That's right!

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

Even though I, Wang Zihan, might look like a kid, my years of experience in the industry have made my wit above average. I'm now quite skilled at the art of persuasive talk!

...

No, not right?

Something feels off.

Wang Zihan, becoming wary, paused, then slung an arm around Fang You's shoulder with a laugh, "I, I'm just asking out of curiosity, not that I'm worried or anything. Just wondering, which Star Guardian Paru do you have? Is it a powerful one?"

Wang Zihan's question seemed to touch upon a painful memory for Fang You, and his expression turned melancholic:

"Sigh, don't remind me... My Star Guardian Paru was drawn by my dad; it's a Gugu Chicken, not even comparable to your upgradable Miao Miao Turtle."

"Gu, gu... pfft—"

Wang Zihan struggled to cover his mouth to stifle his laughter, then made an effort to comfort Fang You:

"It's okay, gu, Gugu Chicken is also quite strong, pfft... After all, it's a low drop rate, isn't it? I remember... pfft, pfft..."

If the Star Guardian Paru is just a Gugu Chicken, then there's nothing to fear!

If his main Paru is only of this mediocre level, how strong could his other Paru be?

Awesome!

[Wang Zihan can hardly wait to crush you on the great Paru stage! Emotional Energy +200*2!]

This number... It has a kind of haphazard beauty.

The official shuttle bus was waiting outside the hotel to transport the stars and players to the event, including the renowned Paru Four Heavenly Kings.

Wang Zihan took this opportunity to eagerly educate the unworldly younger brothers and sisters about which Paru Trainer had arrived on the scene.

"This one has an out-of-print, limited edition fusion Paru beast Gaia Duo, capable of changing its Paru type to water or fire series, Little Chi!"

"This lady owns many Fairy-type Paru and is beloved by male trainers, Miss Cang, Lady Cang."

Little Chi and Lady Cang, with their outstanding looks surpassing former Heavenly Kings, were greeted with enthusiasm by the trainers the moment they appeared, receiving endless endorsements and partnerships.

These two Heavenly Kings were mostly around 20 years old, but they were personalities who had appeared on posters.

The appearance of Joker, however, remained elusive, which slightly concerned Fang You.

After all, as the number one, Fang You was quite interested in this mysterious person.

Knowing how far one is from the number one could show how much more one needs to improve to reach the pinnacle of humanity.

Meanwhile, Xia Nuo had been having a great conversation with her neighbor Su Mumu about various fun anecdotes from her travels, but when she saw who was coming up the bus door, she immediately stood up and reached out to tousle the hair of Fang Guanghui sitting in front:

"Uncle Fang, look! Quick, look, it's the living lovepeace!"

The last one to board the bus was a bald powerhouse, who had a strikingly robust appearance.

"I, I know..."

Fang Guanghui immediately sat upright and adopted a very respectful attitude.

Starstruck—of course, I felt nervous and anxious.

```

Fang Guanghui stared intently at Lovepeace on stage, his demeanor catching Xia Anyang by surprise.

"I mean, why are you acting like a little school boy? You're almost twice his age."

"Dad, what you don't know is that Uncle Fang is a die-hard fan of him."

Xia Nuo earnestly added, "To see the star you've always admired in person is naturally thrilling! Uncle Fang, you can't miss this opportunity, go over and say hello!"

"I, um... I need to prepare first."

"No, no, you have to go now!"

Xia Nuo was also anxious for Fang Guanghui's sake, leaving Xia Anyang speechless.

Why does Nuo Nuo care more about Old Fang's business than I do?

Nuo Nuo has never cared that much about my things!

However, without Mind Catcher, Fang Guanghui naturally couldn't absorb Xia Anyang's Emotional Energy.

As Lovepeace was about to walk past Fang Guanghui, Xia Nuo couldn't help but reach out to greet him, saying:

"Hello, sir! My uncle here—"

"No, Nuo Nuo, wait a second!"

Fang Guanghui, trembling, took out his Paru device and presented it to one of the Paru Four Heavenly Kings, Lovepeace, "Hello Lovepeace! I'm your faithful fan! Could you give me an autograph?"

The other party didn't think too much of it and wondered if Fang Guanghui might be an official staff member due to his outfit, so he simply signed Fang Guanghui's Paru device.

"All done, here you go."

"Thank you, thank you! May I shake your hand?"

"Um..."

"And, let's take a photo too."

"Uncle Fang, let me help!"

Xia Nuo took a photo of Fang Guanghui and Lovepeace together.

"Do you want an autograph?"

"I don't need one..."

Xia Anyang waved his hand gently, not indulging in the fanfare, especially in front of the child; he couldn't behave entirely like a kid himself.

However, his remark sent a jolt through Lovepeace, who suddenly became incredibly excited and grabbed Xia Anyang's hand tightly.

"That voice... unforgettable, I can't forget it, that voice... Are you Echoes of Sun's lead singer, Sumsun, Xia Anyang, right?"

"What?!"

Xia Anyang's youthful memories were awakened by this muscular man, making him a little embarrassed as he touched his nose.

"Cough, cough cough... could you stop calling me that? I haven't used that name for a long time."

I haven't even told my daughter about it!

"You, you... I grew up listening to your songs, my favorite is your band's 'Explode, Die, Youth'. I never imagined I'd meet you in person like this! Please, you must sign an autograph for me!"

"I could, but I don't have any paper..."

Fang Guanghui, looking shocked, quietly slipped the paper into his pocket.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then sign on my shirt!

Lovepeace then turned around and knelt before Xia Anyang, who signed on his back. Lovepeace also shook hands with Xia Anyang and eagerly recalled many fond moments from his youth spent with Xia Anyang's band.

Xia Anyang barely got through Lovepeace's departure when he noted Fang Guanghui, who looked rather sullen, his expression quite Emo.

Recently stung by setbacks, Xia Anyang felt a rare surge of pride and teased Fang Guanghui:

"What's on your mind?"

"I never expected Lovepeace to be such a groveling man, kneeling before you. It disgusts me a bit." Fang Guanghui sighed quietly, his face filled with humiliation and discomfort.

Having one's favorite celebrity be a fan of someone you don't see eye to eye with is indeed a unique feeling.

It's probably just as shocking as finding out that your mother is actually a magical girl.

"I swear from now on, I'll love no one but You You and my wife."

Fang Guanghui sighed wistfully, and behind him, Xia Nuo popped her head out curiously:

"Uncle Fang, what about me?"

Xia Nuo cocked her head to the side curiously, "Don't you love me too?"

"Of course, I love you, Nuo Nuo is my favorite!"

"Cough, cough cough!"

Xia Anyang tried to use his cough to remind Fang Guanghui to be careful, but Nuo Nuo mistook it for her father being jealous, and in her playful way, she took the initiative to defuse the situation:

"Uncle Fang, what about Dad then, don't you love Dad anymore?"

Fang Guanghui fell silent and didn't continue the topic, instead he just let out a sigh aloud:

"Ah... it feels like I've wasted over a year of my youth."

"What youth do you still have now?"

Xia Anyang scoffed, "Now you only have the responsibilities of a father and a husband."

"I don't like to hear that, even as a husband, as a dad, a man still has to be himself!" Fang Guanghui strongly objected to Xia Anyang's words, "As the saying goes, a man remains a boy until death!"
