Becoming a life winner from infancy

Although the two-month summer vacation was half over, for the eight-year-old second grader Fan Yuan, his truly joyful holiday was just starting now—

Because, under the dual persuasion campaign that he and his dad launched, they finally managed to extract a hefty sum for education expenses from his mom.

Now he could finally follow in the footsteps of his big brother Fang You, and after the extraordinary kids, embark on the path toward becoming an extraordinary young martial artist!

Thank you, big brother!

Fan Yuan was immensely grateful to his past self who had taken Fang You as a role model for study.

Because to be honest, if it wasn't for You You big brother, the child of someone else's family, his penny-pinching mom would never have agreed to let him join such a "frivolous" course, and would have instead sent him to something like a math specialty tutoring class.

It wasn't easy to have the opportunity to study with big sister—no, big brother again, I've got to spruce up so as not to tarnish big brother's reputation!

Today was the first day of classes for Fan Yuan, student of the 49th term at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall, and he got up early to wash up, comb his hair, brushed his teeth for three minutes, put on his mom's perfume, and, looking at the shiny and handsome reflection in the mirror, subconsciously stroked his hair.

Today I am also an extraordinary child!

Seeing her son's vain pose in the bathroom, Fan Yuan's mom couldn't help but knock on the door and tease: "You this kid... who never has been this eager about going to school!"

"Wife, you have to understand,"

Fan Yuan's dad, with his arm around his wife's shoulders, said, "After all, he has always seen that little prodigy as his big brother. Now that he finally has a chance to study with him again, it's only natural that he is so excited."

"..."

Fan Yuan's mom looked at her husband, who had combed his thinning hair into a slicked-back style and dressed in a shirt that slightly revealed his protruding belly, and immediately furrowed her brows in confusion:

"It's one thing that Yuan Yuan is so eager... after all, he's going to meet his role model, but what's with you? You're dressed as if you're going on a date."

"I, I'm not, I didn't! I just thought of presenting myself well in front of the kids at the Martial Arts Hall, to show them what a remarkable adult their new classmate's dad is..."

"I hope you can be this proactive at Yuan Yuan's parent-teacher meetings too."

Fan Yuan's mom said angrily with hands on her hips, "I can't always be the one getting scolded every time, next time you go!"

"Ah... Ne, next time for sure!"

Fan Yuan and his dad arrived at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall early, brimming with enthusiasm, and timed their arrival with the opening of the Martial Arts Hall, when the newly enrolled students also began arriving one after another.

However, Fan Yuan didn't see his big brother among the crowd.

What's going on...

Could it be that big brother didn't join the Martial Arts Hall classes?

This scenario made Fan Yuan a bit nervous. Stay connected via empire

Because if his mom found out that Fang You didn't even sign up for classes at the Martial Arts Hall, she would certainly bring up the embarrassing suggestion of withdrawing from the course!

Just as Fan Yuan and his dad were looking around, a familiar figure finally appeared at the front desk of the Martial Arts Hall!

Ah, it's big brother!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Big brother's way of leaving home was still so individualistic; despite being only 8 years old, he always traveled alone, which was truly an extraordinary way of doing things.

Fan Yuan was about to greet big brother to warm up their relationship when he noticed that there was a heavy-hitting character following behind him—

It was Meng Qing, the beautiful Martial Arts Hall Director!

She was talking to Fang You by his side and they seemed to have already developed a familiar relationship.

Ever since Meng Qing escorted Fang You home yesterday and met his parents, she quickly confirmed a fact:

Fang You was seen by his parents as a little genius who could succeed at anything he did.

So even though he had shown an extremely high talent in martial arts, his parents didn't really care, as they adopted a hands-off parenting strategy. Knowing their son was already outstanding, they let Fang You do what he liked.

Therefore, spending time on Fang You's parents was pointless.

She just needed to pay attention to the child himself...

Meng Qing was working hard to gain more favor from Fang You, hence she approached him proactively.

And for Fang You, who wanted to rely on the [prestige of a father's name] to transmit his talent to others, this was naturally a welcome situation.

However...

It seemed a bit too eager.

"Although I told you to be at my beck and call, you didn't really have to come pick me up for class, did you?"

"Hehe... the ceremonial feeling of the first day is still needed, isn't it?"

Now that Fang You was the lifesaver of the Martial Arts Hall, Meng Qing couldn't afford to let this child out of her sight.

Meanwhile, watching the spring-like smile that the Martial Arts Hall Director showed to Fang You, Fan Yuan felt as if he experienced that warmth too and began fantasizing about the Director talking to him!

Fan Yuan swallowed and felt his heartbeat accelerate to 148/min; this level of excitement was something he hadn't felt for two years... no, perhaps even three.

"Sorry about that... got held up in traffic and came a bit late..."

After clocking in at the front desk and arranging work matters with the staff of the Martial Arts Hall, Meng Qing immediately clapped her hands and called out to the parents and students: "Sorry, sorry to keep all the parents and students waiting! Thank you very much for signing up for the 49th term course experience at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall. Parents, please wait in the resting area.

Kids, follow me over here; we need to have everyone change into the Martial Arts Hall's official uniforms for the class."
