Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 28: 027 He can play by himself



Doo—doo—doo—

Fang You called Xia Nuo, and a milk-voiced reply came from the other end:

"Waa, waa bee baa boop, welcome to the Xia Nuo family\'s friendly contact service, thank you for calling! For what to eat inquiries, please say 1, for weather inquiries, please say 2…"

Fang You patiently waited as he listened to Xia Nuo imitating a voice assistant on the other end of the phone.

"To get human service, please state our secret code."

"...glub glub ripple beep bah boop bee?"

Fang You said, pressing his forehead.

"Correct secret code! Please select your preferred customer service."

"For the lively elder sister Xia Nuo, press 1, for the cheerful second sister Nuo Nuo, press 2, to get the adorable Nuo Bao, press 3."

"Choose 3."

"Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding… hello hello, Nuo Bao is here! May I ask who this is quack?"

Xia Nuo\'s voice turned a bit pinchy; this was her imitating Nuo Bao, the youngest of the three Xia sisters.

"I\'m You Bao."

"Liar, you\'re clearly You Bao\'s second brother, You You! You\'re trying to fool me!"

"Oh no, I\'ve been discovered."

Fang You said in a monotonous recital.

"Hehe, whether it\'s Fang You, You Bao, or You You, I know them all very well, I can tell right away."

Xia Nuo was very proud of herself on the other end of the phone.

"Nuo Bao is amazing, do you want to come down to play?"

"Yes! Coming down right now—"

"Then—"

"Wait a moment!"

Xia Nuo said from the other end of the watch: "I\'m a child, I can\'t go down to play alone. I\'m going to discuss it with my elder sister Xia Nuo and second sister Nuo Nuo to see if they want to come down to play."

Rustling and sneaky sounds came from the other side, clearly Xia Nuo talking to herself.

Patience, patience.

After all, I\'m really coddling a child here...

Nuo Nuo is really becoming more and more of a drama queen.

"Okay, they all said they want to come down to play! Daddy also said he will take us down."

"Then, let\'s meet by the children\'s playground, hanging up now—"

"Wait a second! Don\'t hang up just yet!"

The voice of Xia Nuo came through the phone:

"Please rate this service from Nuo Bao. Press 1 for satisfied, 2 for very satisfied, 3 for extremely satisfied."

"3333333!"

I\'m almost broken by Nuo Nuo\'s playfulness!

This girl is even more skilled at being a Joyous Man than I am!

"Hahahaha, thank you for your visit, we\'ll see you next time!"

Click.

After hanging up with Xia Nuo, Fang You finally took a deep breath.

Then he walked towards his father Fang Guanghui who was sprawled on the sofa, absorbed in his cellphone.

"Dad, take me downstairs to play."

"Okay, wait for Dad to win this round and I\'ll take you."

Fang Guanghui was still immersed in the sword fights on his Bluemik50 phone.

The corner of Fang You\'s mouth twitched slightly.

"Then I\'ll go down by myself."

Fang You walked towards the door to change shoes: "Hey hey, what\'s that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on Dad\'s skills?"

Fang Guanghui said proudly, "I\'ve already got 20 kills and I\'m about to go legendary, there\'s no way I\'m losing this game."

[Fang Guanghui thinks you are underestimating him, Emotional Energy +4]

This old man...

Fang You sighed and then said, "I\'m just going to the children\'s playground, I won\'t leave the complex."

"And I\'m wearing the Smartwatch," he said as he showed Fang Guanghui his wrist gear, "so you can locate me later."

"No, no, you\'re still too young to play alone; you must be accompanied by an adult. Without an adult, how could Dad feel at ease?"

"I\'m going to play downstairs with Nuo Nuo, and Uncle Xia is there too. He\'s waiting for me downstairs now."

Looking at his barely 4-year-old son, who was already so mature and steady, Fang Guanghui\'s eyes were filled with pride and confidence:

"Good boy, Dad believes you\'re already a little man! It\'s about time you tried going out to play by yourself."

Fang You always gave his parents the impression that he could get by just fine without them, and Fang Guanghui had always been quite reassured by him, thinking this might be an opportunity for a trial.

"Remember, don\'t talk to strangers and call Dad directly if you have any problems..."

"Got it, Dad."

Fang You pressed the elevator button to go down, making his way to the children\'s playground in the community by himself.

At that time, Xia Nuo was already playing with the sand in the playground. Seeing Fang You, Xia Nuo immediately greeted him with excitement.

"You You, over here, over here, I\'m here!"

Xia Anyang glanced behind Fang You, surprised to see no one else, and greeted him:

"You You, where\'s your dad?"

"He\'s resting."

Xia Anyang was somewhat surprised, "He let you come down to play by yourself?"

Playing with a stick in the sand, Fang You put on a sensible face, "He usually works so hard; today, I wanted to let him have a good rest..."

Xia Anyang was not touched by Fang You\'s filial gesture, and no system prompt popped up before Fang You\'s eyes.

Tsk.

"So, did you come down the elevator by yourself?"

Fang You nodded, "I can reach the elevator buttons."

"That\'s not the problem... Ah, never mind."

Xia Anyang thought to himself how relaxed Fang Guanghui\'s heart must be.

Not to follow such a young child, what if he got lost?

But... there is indeed a difference in the way boys and girls are raised. Fang You is quite mature; there\'s probably no need to worry too much.

At that moment, his phone lit up with a message from Fang Guanghui.

[Uncle Xia, have you seen my son?]

[I have.]

[Good! That\'s my boy! Could you please keep an eye on him for me? He told me he wanted to experience things on his own.]

[Our You You is very well-behaved; he won\'t run around and can play by himself.]

Wait, you really want me to babysit for you?

Watching Fang You sitting next to Xia Nuo, watching her play with sand, Xia Anyang suddenly felt reflective.

Probably because he has such an unreliable dad, that\'s why he\'s so mature and steady...

[Xia Anyang felt a wave of sympathy for you, Emotional Energy +1]

Wait, what do I have to be pitied for?

Fang You looked at Xia Anyang with a hint of surprise, then continued to watch Xia Nuo play with the sand.

"You You, I\'m going to build a space base today!"

"We\'ll build a base on the Moon, then on Mars, and after that..." Nuo Nuo said while shoveling sand.

Ever since Fang You had taught Xia Nuo about the Sun the other time, she had slowly become interested in the things in the sky.

She would often pester Fang You with questions about the universe.

Questions like how black holes are formed, whether there are aliens in the universe, or whether there\'s water on the Moon.

Some questions Fang You could not answer right away, and, not wanting to be defeated, he asked his family to get him a copy of "A Million Whys" to expand his knowledge bank.

Fang You actually read this kind of children\'s science book with great interest.

He vaguely remembered reading many such books when he was younger.

Things like different species of dinosaurs, the development and life of primitive people, and the composition of planetary strata were all natural science knowledge he had come across.

But it seemed that back then, he was too preoccupied with the pictures. Perhaps the text was irritating because he couldn\'t recognize all the characters, and the words went largely unread.

Therefore, the knowledge never stayed in any form in his mind.

He had almost forgotten everything about his childhood.

But recalling such an experience out of the blue, he subconsciously felt that he must have been a carefree and curious happy child back then.
