Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Not sleepy, not sleepy! I just want to talk to you some more."

Xia Nuo said, "I'm so excited I can't sleep! Whether it's watching the meteor shower or watching rockets, it all feels incredibly fascinating."

From the conversation, one could feel Xia Nuo's excitement.

"Now we can even land on the moon, and by the time we grow up, maybe moon landings will be a pretty easy thing to do."

That's a hard call...

Lighthouse Country has been able to land on the moon since the '60s and '70s, but to this day, there's still no progress.

Could Hua Country make a monumental breakthrough in moon landings within the next ten years?

That's also a bit hard to say...

However, just imagining this technologically quirky alternate world makes it seem not entirely impossible...

Fang You talked with Xia Nuo all night, until the sound of Xia Nuo's voice became more and more drowsy and faint.

Thus, Fang You gradually stopped talking to Xia Nuo until the other end became completely quiet, leaving only a steady and solid sound of breathing.

Good night, Nuo Nuo.

Fang You set the watch aside and then closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep.

...

The next day.

Fang You woke up at six o'clock in the morning as usual.

The young Fang You, even with the powerful effect of "Unyielding Energy," still needed at least 10 hours of deep sleep.

But by the age of eight, this rest time had been reduced to six hours.

No matter how hard Fang You tried, he could only sleep at most six hours a day, eventually finding himself without any trace of sleepiness.

Although his body was exceptional, and he genuinely only needed that much sleep time, no matter how one put it, if an eight-year-old child only slept six hours a day, his mother would definitely prepare a whip for not sleeping properly.

Therefore, Fang You could only stick to going to bed late and waking up early, making sure not to wake up his parents while doing his own things.

Still, this was somewhat inconvenient, and Fang You now looked forward to unlocking that quick movement ability.

Of course, for the time being, this was still a distant matter and could only be a thought.

Fang You's progress in the growth level had now overflowed to 95000/100000, which meant, he only needed another 5000 energy points to evolve to the next stage.

And taking the opportunity of this trip together, he should be able to evolve to the growth level of lv8.

Now the priority should be the new evolution stage, as there might be more channels to develop "new knowledge." With that, perhaps many of the problems he currently faced could be solved...

Fang You folded the blanket, changed into fresh clothes, and started his daily simple physical training at Deeply Hidden in the living room.

This was a habit Fang You developed while training Meng Qing; after all, to teach his disciple fitness knowledge, he first had to learn a lot himself.

Thump, thump, thump.

Thump, thump, thump.

...

Why is someone knocking on the door so early in the morning?

Fang You opened the door and found that the person appearing before him was Xia Nuo.

...

She looked a bit out of sorts, with red-rimmed eyes, disheveled hair, and a cute pink suitcase by her side.

This was her beloved "Brilliant Nuo Star" box, named by You You because the characters for "brilliant" were too complex.

Noticing Xia Nuo's condition, Fang You immediately realized something was off and asked:

"Why did you come so early... Isn't your flight this afternoon?"

Upon seeing Fang You, Xia Nuo, who had been pouting all this time, suddenly seemed unable to hold back her emotions any longer. Without saying a word, she plunged into Fang You's arms, hugged him tightly, and buried herself in his embrace, her body beginning to tremble.

Although he was puzzled by Xia Nuo's sudden emotional breakdown, the first thing Fang You did wasn't to ask questions, but instinctively, he wrapped his arms around her back and with his other hand gently stroked her head.

"Let's go to Qiankun City to watch the Perseids meteor shower, to watch the ascension of the beautiful moon!"

"Sure... We were going anyway."

"I mean..."

"Let's go, just the two of us!"

Xia Nuo looked up at Fang You with a pitiful gaze that was touching, her voice firm and decisive, filled with intense emotion.

"Why not go with Dad... Did you have a fight with Dad?"

"Dad is a big bad guy... a liar! Stinky pig! Liar! I don't want this dad anymore!"

Xia Nuo muttered, "He clearly promised to take me, I've been looking forward to it for so long, and today early in the morning he tells me, there's something very urgent at the store that he needs to handle, and now he can't go."

"If we can't go today, we can buy tickets for tomorrow's flight, and we should still be able to catch the meteor shower and rocket launch, right..."

"Dad said that all the tickets were sold out, there are no tickets left... then he asked me if we could go next time."

With tearful eyes, Xia Nuo looked at Fang You, "He's my dad, how can he not know that the Perseid meteor shower is a rare event that only erupts every few years, and Chang'E 1 is a once in a lifetime major event... He's still asking if we can go next time, he clearly hasn't really understood my interests and hobbies!"

"Then he really did something wrong,"

Fang You nodded, "But given your dad's character, he adores you so much, the matter he has to handle now must be extremely urgent; that's why he can't fulfill his promise. Try to understand him, okay?"

"I don't care! I hate lying dads the most!"

Xia Nuo grumbled, "I've been looking forward to this day for so long, in August I did my homework seriously at home every day, spent at least 100 hours on homework each day, just to achieve my learning goals, so that dad would take me to Qiankun City, but now he's actually lying to me... how can he, how can he lie to me like this..."

The more Xia Nuo spoke, the more aggrieved she became, then she started sobbing uncontrollably while clutching Fang You.

Meanwhile, her mother Chen Xuan also got up following the noises, she was also on a phone call at the same time.

"Mmm... saw the child, she's with me, didn't run off, I understand the situation... I will watch over them for you first."

After Chen Xuan hung up the phone, she said, "Nuo Nuo, your dad said—"

"Aunt Xuan, I don't want to listen to what dad has to say right now..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although she was angry, Xia Nuo was still very polite towards Chen Xuan and quickly pulled Fang You to rush into his bedroom.

Then she closed the door.

She took out two plane tickets from the suitcase, with the names Xia Nuo and Fang You written as the passengers.

"..."

"You don't mean to tell me—"

Clearly, Nuo Nuo was preparing to do something very bold, something audacious.

"Come with me, You You, I really want to go."

Xia Nuo, holding Fang You's arm, put on a pleading expression.

"Please, I really want to go to Qiankun City to see the meteor shower, and the lunar rocket, can you go with me, You You? We're best friends, you should say yes, right? If you agree to go with me, I'll do anything, really!"

It seems like you've been using that line for quite a while...

Fang You tapped Xia Nuo's head.

"I understand the situation."

"I will figure out a way to take you to Qiankun City."

"You... You You, I knew you were the best person to me!"

Xia Nuo, overjoyed, blotted her tears and planted a big kiss on Fang You's face.

[Xia Nuo has completely become your adoring shape, Emotional Energy+100]

"Then let's go now!"

"Hey, don't rush, don't be hasty,"

Fang You said, "My parents know you're at my place now, if we want to go to Qiankun City, we still need to figure out how to get past them, right? It is definitely difficult to leave now, they are on guard."

"That... that's true,"

Xia Nuo nodded, "Then, what do we do! I'll listen to you."

"Let me think of something first."

Although Uncle Xia was in the wrong initially, running away with Xia Nuo like this was still a bit far-fetched, almost like eloping with someone else's daughter.

It's definitely dangerous for two eight-year-olds to be out there on their own.

So, if Uncle Xia couldn't get away, there was only one strategy left.

"Dad, come here for a sec, I need to talk to you about something."

Fang You called Fang Guanghui, who had just finished washing up and was yawning, into the study.

"I, I take you to Qiankun City?"
