Ever since he lost to You You in the math class, Fan Yuan realized something.
I'm temporarily no match for You You when it comes to intelligence and wisdom.
I still need some time to develop.
You You could solve subtraction problems so easily, he must have studied very, very hard for many years.
After all, even after studying all night, I only learned how to calculate 2 minus 1.
...
What was the result of 2 minus 1 again?
Forget it...
It seems I can only rely on other methods to defeat You You, so that Teacher Taozi will pay more attention to me!
The next day while shopping at the mall with his parents, instead of buying his favorite storybook "Steel Courage: High-Speed Hero versus the Red Boy," Fan Yuan chose a picture book that he wouldn't have given a second glance before——"The Amazing Kids."
"The Amazing Kids" is a children's enlightenment book that primarily uses pictures with text as a supplement, teaching children how to develop good habits in kindergarten, become the teacher's helpful assistant, a great role model for their classmates, and the most popular king of popularity in kindergarten.
Realizing that his son had recently stopped watching cartoons, scrolling through short videos, clamoring for toys, and had even stopped playing his favorite "Egg Star," and was instead quietly reading healthy and positive books every day in his room, Fan Yuan's father was quite surprised.
"What has gotten into this kid lately, why has he become so well-behaved?"
"Just now, when I was delivering fruits, I heard him mention You You while reading," said Fan Yuan's mother after some thought, "He probably saw how outstanding someone else is and wants to improve himself, to become someone as amazing as You You."
Hearing his wife's words, Fan Yuan's father happily crossed his legs.
While browsing short videos on his phone, he said to his wife, "Our child is really promising, if he could become good friends with that kid and be influenced by him, his future will be limitless..."
"Indeed, after all, that kid..."
Fang You was half a year old when he starred in an advertisement for Sparrow Food diapers, could sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at 8 months old, had appeared on Mango TV's variety show "Loving Kindergarten" at age 2, and had over a hundred thousand followers on social media...
Moreover, he had shown an incredible drumming technique during the Children's Day performance, astonishing all the parents—
This included Fan Yuan's parents as well.
Without a doubt, in terms of talent, You You had become the legend of Sunshine Kindergarten.
However, little Fan Yuan had his own thoughts.
Legends are there to be defeated!
Fan Yuan read "The Amazing Kids" earnestly every day and strived to follow every rule for children in the book:
[Dress myself without relying on dad, completed]
[Wash hands before meals and after using the toilet every time, completed]
[Wipe my own bottom without mom's help, completed]
[Sleep early and get up early every day, drink a cup of hot milk at eight o'clock in the evening, completed]
[Brush my teeth twice a day, each time for more than three minutes, completed]
Under the guidance of this book, Fan Yuan gradually developed many good habits and was about to become an amazing child!
Congratulations, congratulations!
But at this moment, Fan Yuan suddenly realized a problem.
I'm trying hard in the wrong direction!
Teacher Taozi can't see these efforts!
Although Fan Yuan had urged his mom to report his progress to Teacher Taozi, Teacher Taozi had only simply praised him with a "Yuan Yuan is so great," and then nothing followed.
...
I must perform well in school so Teacher Taozi can see my efforts with her own eyes!
Only then will Teacher Taozi know how amazing I am and give me lots of hugs and lift me high!
I also want to give Teacher Taozi high-fives!
Fan Yuan suppressed his excitement and began to think of a strategy.
So, is there any impressive habit that I can show off at school to amaze everyone?
Fan Yuan decided he wanted to be a rebellious child; he couldn't keep learning each amazing kid rule in order anymore.
When he flipped to page 17 of the picture book, he saw the text accompanying the picture which read:
[Amazing Kids Rule 17:]
"I want to play together..."
Luo Xianyu pouted, then scooped the carrots back from Fang You's bowl.
Under the temptation of playing house, both Luo Xianyu and Xia Nuo obediently ate their carrots.
...
Hmph, such a bunch of noisy kids.
Fan Yuan thought to himself, being too popular really isn't all that great.
If he were like Youyou, having so many childish little girls wanting to play house with him every day would be quite annoying.
Teacher Taozi surely won't stop liking me just because of this, hmmm—
"Children, carrots are a very nutritious vegetable, nobody should be picky, okay? Let Teacher Taozi see, which child hasn't eaten their carrots... If not, Teacher Taozi won't give you a little red flower today."
Teacher Taozi came to check!
Fan Yuan was scared stiff and hurriedly put the forked carrot into his mouth.
Mmm...
It tastes so awful.
Such a raw taste.
Crunchy texture.
Yuck...
Fan Yuan endured the nauseating feeling and swallowed the carrot.
Though it was tough.
It was worth the effort!
Because, because, Teacher Taozi saw me...
"Teacher Taozi, Teacher Taozi!"
Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu hurriedly greeted Teacher Taozi, telling her about their progress today.
"Wow, today not only Youyou, but also Nuo Nuo and Ayu have finished their carrots?"
Then Teacher Taozi crouched down, curiously watching the children in front of her.
"You didn't secretly feed the carrots to Youyou like before, did you?"
"We didn't this time!"
Xia Nuo, holding Luo Xianyu's hand, jumped up and down. "We all ate the carrots properly, it was Youyou who fed us."
Luo Xianyu also nodded vigorously, and to prove she wasn't lying, she stuck out her tongue to show the chewed carrot bits still in her mouth.
"Wow, Youyou, you're really an incredible child! You get everyone to eat carrots, Teacher Taozi will give you an extra little red flower, is that okay?"
"Thank you, Teacher Taozi! I just did what I should."
Fang You, enjoying the head pat from Teacher Taozi, watched Fan Yuan, seething on the other side, with a calm face.
Hehe.
Fang You maintained his cool kid persona, only laughing inwardly.
Just then, a line of text appeared in his mind.
[Fan Yuan really wants to be patted on the head by Teacher Taozi too! Emotional Energy +15]
Fan Yuan is truly sad!
He felt terrible.
He ate the awful carrots anyway, and Teacher Taozi didn't even notice.
I, I...
I don't want to be an outstanding child anymore!
Fan Yuan felt he could never be more incredible than Youyou.
