During the recording of "Falling in Love with Kindergarten," Asai Reina's mother, Asai Masako, and Chen Xuan and Lin Yi all followed each other's social media accounts.
The mommies were all keen to post their adorable kids' funny everyday moments on Little Purple Potato, and they often commented and liked each other's posts.
However, Asai Reina's family didn't live in Mei City where Fang You and the others were, so after the program ended, Asai Reina hardly had any chance to meet with Fang You.
But, but! Now, there was a super, super good opportunity to meet!
One day, Reina's mother told Asai Reina:
"You You is planning to have a birthday party and has invited everyone to attend, do you want to go?"
"I do!"
Asai Reina happily started bouncing around.
"I want to go!"
Reina hadn't seen You You in such a long time!
"Then, you should say hello to You You first. Do you want to video call him now? I'll mention it to You You's mom."
"Wait, wait for me to change my clothes!"
Asai Reina specially changed into a beautiful pink dress and made herself look pretty.
"I'm ready!" Reina called her mom to bring her the phone.
"So—" After the video call connected, Asai Reina immediately waved enthusiastically at the screen:
"You You, long time no see!"
How, how come You You looked even more handsome than before!
Even though he was just wearing a very ordinary white long-sleeved shirt, he looked so handsome!
He was still as aloof as ever, showing no signs of delight in his eyes even when seeing the beautiful Reina.
He was completely different from other kids!
Reina really liked him a lot.
"Uh... what's up?" Fang You seemed very surprised in the video, "Did you suddenly contact me for something?"
"Um..." Asai Reina fiddled with her hair, posing shyly and introvertedly, "I heard you're having a birthday next Sunday, can I come to your party?"
"Huh? What birthday party..." Fang You looked puzzled, "I don't know—"
Asai Reina suddenly became anxious, "You, you clearly said you welcomed all the kids to come!"
Tsk... There was no Emotional Energy to be received.
It seemed that even with people she knew, she had to meet them offline to obtain Emotional Energy.
It was probably a concept of effective range.
"There is, there is, we're planning to have a birthday party this weekend!"
In the other end of the video frame, the adorable figure of Xia Nuo suddenly appeared!
She wrapped her arms around Fang You's neck from behind, and Asai Reina immediately felt defeated—
Is that Nuo Nuo?
She seemed to have become prettier than before.
It's so late, why is she still at You You's house playing...
And she's wearing cartoon pajamas, snuggling up to You You!
Lin Yi's voice came from the video, slightly scolding.
"Mommy, I was just joking with Ling Nai!"
Xia Nuo couldn't stop laughing, and she waved her hand at Asai Reina:
"Ling Nai is our good friend, of course, she can come to our birthday party! Please come!"
"..."
I haven't become your friend; I'm You You's good friend...
Seeing Fang You being dominated by Xia Nuo, Asai Reina felt a sense of mission!
Although it seems like You You gets along really well with Nuo Nuo.
But only Ling Nai knows that it's just on the surface!
After studying the many everyday videos Fang Guanghui's mother posted of You You on Little Purple Sweet Potato, Ling Nai had already noticed a big secret about You You.
It was a big secret that only Ling Nai knew!
That is—
He hardly ever smiles when he's with Nuo Nuo!
What kind of kid doesn't laugh when they're with a good friend?
When Ling Nai became friends with You You, she felt so happy!
She was so excited that she could toss and turn in bed and still not fall asleep!
A fourth birthday...
In Fang You's view, it's not a significant milestone in growth, and he probably can't unlock any hidden talents.
But what's different this time is that Mom and Dad and Fang You discussed the topic of birthday presents.
"This year, for your birthday with Nuo Nuo, You You has to give Nuo Nuo a birthday present."
Fang Guanghui patted Fang You's head, "You You, you play with Nuo Nuo every day, is there anything you'd like to give Nuo Nuo as a birthday present? Whatever you think of, Daddy will take you to buy!"
Little You, your dad will use your New Year's money to buy it for you, a perfect closed loop!
"..."
Suddenly, when his father asked him like this, Fang You found himself at a loss for an answer.
His silence was deafening.
"Ah, come on... after spending so much time with Nuo Nuo, don't tell me you don't even know what Nuo Nuo likes? Really, you don't know?"
[Your dad is thrilled to see you, usually so composed, at a loss for words, Emotional Energy +3]
You old thing... Is this how a father should act?
Fang You brushed off Fang Guanghui's hand and said coldly, "At least I remember Nuo Nuo's birthday, but Dad can't even remember the wedding anniversary. Aren't I better than you in that?"
A few days ago, Chen Xuan had given Fang Guanghui a good scolding for forgetting their wedding anniversary, and Fang You had watched the whole thing live.
It took Fang Guanghui a lot of effort to appease his wife and let the matter pass, but now Fang You was bringing it up again, making Fang Guanghui lose face.
[Fang Guanghui thinks you're an unfilial creature, Emotional Energy +4]
[Chen Xuan feels 'like father, like son' and is very disappointed in both of you, Emotional Energy +8]
