During the preparations for Children's Day, Luo Xianyu would come over every weekend to rehearse the program.
Of course, she claimed she was there to rehearse, but in fact, the intensity of the program that the kids from the young class had to practice wasn't high—it was simply a chance to come play and create a bit of a racket.
Fang You also really liked it when Ayu came to play, so every time he heard that Luo Xianyu was coming over to rehearse, Fang You would definitely be present.
Ayu is Grandpa's good friend!
Grandpa wants to grow up quickly, and he can't do it without the emotional support provided by our cute little classmate, Ayu.
Exactly!
On Fang You's journey of growth, Luo Xianyu and Xia Anyang were two great helpers who could stably provide Emotional Energy.
Clearly, according to the system's criteria, strong negative emotions always generate energy more easily than positive ones.
Fang You could only occasionally absorb a bit of pride, pampering, and fondness energy from his mom, Lin Auntie—oh no, that's not right, Lin Yi—and from Nuo Nuo. But the frequency of these triggers wasn't high.
By comparison, Ayu and Uncle Xia were much more consistent in their performances.
[Luo Xianyu is really envious that you got to stick close to Xia Nuo earlier than her today, Emotional Energy +4]
[Luo Xianyu also wants to hook arms with Xia Nuo like you, Emotional Energy +3]
[Luo Xianyu's envy has been harped on enough times, Emotional Energy +5]
[Xia Anyang feels you're too close to Nuo Nuo, Emotional Energy +4]
[Xia Anyang thinks his daughter should feed him candy first, not you, Emotional Energy +4]
[Xia Anyang can't understand why his daughter always prefers sticking close to you and gets caught up in EMO, Emotional Energy +3]
Watching the energy bar grow, Fang You felt extremely satisfied.
With such a pair of talented folks at my disposal, I will inevitably grow into a real MAN at Nuo Nuo's Family Business!
So, Children's Day arrived.
Fang You was woken up by his parents at six in the morning.
He quickly put on his clothes, stood on a stool to wash up, and then waited for his mom to serve breakfast.
Today's breakfast was milk, eight-treasure porridge, and fried ham and eggs.
The three-year-old Fang You had already mastered Ancient Huaxia's most skillful leverage—the chopsticks—as he devoured his meal with great gusto, his eating resembling a whirlwind sweeping through everything.
[You are eating breakfast, Growth Energy +0.4, Growth Energy +0.3]
"Oh, look... Wife, You You loves the fried ham and eggs you make so much, he finished them in no time!"
"He's just better at eating, it's not because I make it especially delicious."
Chen Xuan was used to her son's hearty appetite, so she couldn't provide Fang You with any Emotional Energy.
"Mom, why would you say that?"
Fang You wiped his mouth, then seriously said, "The fried ham and eggs my mom makes are the most delicious food in the world! I want to eat them my whole life!"
Fang You spotted Xia Nuo in the crowd at first glance; she seemed to be discussing something with Luo Xianyu.
Seeing Fang You appear, Xia Nuo hurried over, grabbing Fang You's hand and hopping around in urgency.
"You You, You You, what should we do..."
Xia Nuo confided to Fang You about her problem, "Ayu told me that there were too many people today, and she is too scared to perform."
"And you can't persuade her?" Fang You asked in surprise.
"Yeah..."
Xia Nuo nodded vigorously, "Ayu has only us two as good friends in class. If we both go and persuade her together, maybe she'll change her mind!"
You're wrong, Nuo Nuo!
She has always had only you as a good friend!
But complaints aside, they were indeed facing some trouble with their performance now.
Ah... is it really trouble?
Actually, it doesn't matter if Ayu doesn't perform, right?
Fang You had actually noticed that many young kids in the class weren't prepared for any performance today.
However, seeing how much Nuo Nuo wanted to perform on stage with Ayu, Fang You really couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth.
Looking at Luo Xianyu, who was listlessly drooping her head beside them, and thinking about the amount of Emotional Energy she had contributed to him lately, Fang You felt he couldn't bear to let her down.
Luo Xianyu was indeed a girl with social anxiety.
During the recording of "Falling in Love with Kindergarten," she didn't talk much and never dared to look straight into the eyes of others.
Luo Xianyu always looked meek and obedient, and during group activities, she was basically Xia Nuo's tag-along.
However, even the timid Ayu had suggested performing on stage for this Children's Day.
That must have taken a lot of courage and determination.
If she gave up at this critical moment, it would surely cast a huge shadow over her future growth.
Ah, I can't stand to see the kids suffer, I'm just too kind-hearted!
Fang You motioned Xia Nuo to come closer to him.
"Here, Nuo Nuo, I'll teach you a way that's guaranteed to make Ayu willing to perform on stage with you. But we'll need to change the format of the performance a bit, and it depends on whether you're willing to do it."
"I'm willing, I'm willing, I'll do anything You You asks me to!"
Xia Nuo swung on Fang You's arm, "Teach me how to persuade Ayu!"
"It's like this..."
Fang You and Xia Nuo whispered in each other's ears.
