Becoming a life winner from infancy

What was supposed to be a sweet and tender parent-child time, a strategic plan for Daddy Yu to redeem his image, now had him continually stepping on landmines.

Their relationship seemed to have gotten even worse now!

Even Fang You, who usually had an almost divine foresight and succeeded in everything he did, felt quite helpless about the current state of affairs.

Even if he could use "reasoning" or exert his influential demand for Ayu to participate in certain activities, it was hard to change Ayu's subjective discontent towards Daddy.

After being disliked by Ayu, Daddy Yu still smiled and chuckled, appearing as if he didn't care about Ayu's aversion at all.

"Ayu really has guts, hahaha! He's truly different from before..."

"It's not that Ayu is brave, it's that Daddy is too scared, nervous even about a roller coaster like this."

Luo Xianyu placed her hands on her hips, displaying a look of exasperation, "It's good that Ayu didn't inherit Daddy's cowardice, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

Upon hearing Ayu's statement, Daddy Yu tried to defend himself:

"Ayu, look, your daddy might seem this way, but I actually have a lot of courage. Just now, I was pretending to be scared on purpose to make Ayu feel less nervous."

Fang You stared at Daddy Yu as he spoke, observing his every word and expression.

"Ah... So that's it!"

Xia Nuo clapped her hands and said, "Exactly, just now Ayu bravely finished the roller coaster without crying, right!"

Nuo Nuo... you're trying too hard.

"But I don't need him to pretend to be nervous, I wouldn't cry by myself either."

Luo Xianyu said, "Emperor Youyou was always very strict with Ayu when he acted as my dad. That's why Ayu could grow to be such an amazing kid with Youyou's help and encouragement, not through spoiling and coddling."

"That's, that's quite true..." Daddy Yu became serious, "Then Daddy will show his reliable adult side properly!"

"Wow, Daddy Yu is getting serious!"

Xia Nuo pointed at the flickering haunted house nearby, "Let Daddy Yu show his true skills in the haunted house then!"

"Ah, w-we're going there?"

Luo Xianyu couldn't help but swallow nervously, seemingly quite scared.

The haunted house in the Flower Fairy Park was themed around the villainous Black Rose Fairy Castle, which featured many of the monsters from the Fairy Jasmine series.

But, to put it plainly, these were ghosts and goblins meant to frighten little girls, and to Emperor Youyou, they hardly counted as spine-chilling stuff, and even less so for Daddy Yu, who was completely unfamiliar with "Fairy Jasmine."

"Woahhh! Even the Ironclad Monster and the Thorn Witch will appear?"

"Sure enough, Daddy Yu knows the monsters from 'Fairy Jasmine!' "

"Hmm hmm... I used to always watch 'Fairy Jasmine' with Ayu, but Ayu forgot all about it."

Daddy Yu said, "I also binge-watched 'Fairy Jasmine' yesterday, so I know just how bad these two monsters are."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ayu, see how much your daddy cares for you? He even watched the entire 'Fairy Jasmine' series. Even Youyou wouldn't watch 'Fairy Jasmine' seriously with us."

This was indeed a point where Fang You conceded.

He really didn't watch "Fairy Jasmine."

Encouraged by Xia Nuo, Luo Xianyu finally seemed a bit swayed, but she wouldn't openly acknowledge Daddy.

"Hmmph... Doesn't Daddy feel embarrassed watching magical girls?"

"No, not at all. After all, it's something my daughter likes to watch, and as a father, I should definitely understand it..."

"Then, let's head out!"

The group lined up and entered the haunted house together.

As a brand-new team at the start, a chill gust greeted them as they walked through the entrance, causing Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu to shiver in fright.

Xia Nuo clung tightly to Fang You's arm, and Ayu, too, came over to cling to Fang You, not daring to lift her head.

"No, no... Ayu, you can't stick with Youyou today, you should hold your daddy's hand."

"Um... hmm hmm..."

Luo Xianyu was practically burying herself in Fang You's embrace, and no matter how much Xia Nuo tried to pull her away, she refused to let go.

In the midst of the three's scuffle,

"I see which child isn't behaving. If you don't behave, I'm going to start telling ghost stories in this haunted house!"

Fang You's Talent, [Master of Ghost Stories], was not just a skill but a widely known title. Upon hearing this, both Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu immediately straightened up, looking at Fang You with pleading, puppy-dog eyes.

"Youyou, please, don't tell ghost stories, Youyou. I'm scared... I'll listen to you, that's it."

"Youyou, dear Youyou, please, I beg you, Youyou. Ayu is a good baby, Ayu will play nicely with daddy."

...

"Excellent, then, Ayu, go hold your dad—daddy—eh, where's your daddy?"

Luo Xianyu swallowed nervously, only to realize that Daddy's figure was already missing behind her.

"Dad, Daddy... My daddy got eaten by a ghost!"

"Aaaaaah! This is so scary!"

Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu were terrified by the sudden disappearance of Ayu's daddy, and as they unexpectedly encountered a jetting mechanism, the two kids screamed in horror, then clung to Fang You and ran out of the haunted house in a sorry state.

...

"Mommy, the ghosts in there weren't scary at all; they were nothing like you."

After walking out of the haunted house, a little boy excitedly shared his adventure with his mother, who came to pick him up, and then naturally faced a round of cheek pinching from her.
