Chapter 66: 065 Thank you, uncle for your concern (Please follow, please vote monthly!)
Two weeks after the results of the second round of selections were announced, the third round of "The Ultimate Cutie Show," called "Survival Challenge," was set to take place in Shepherd's Flute Village located within the boundaries of Yunmeng Province.
Surrounded by mountains, Shepherd's Flute Village was picturesque with lush greens and clear waters, with peach trees blooming all over the hills, and it was often referred to as a modern "Peach Blossom Land."
Of course, this place was also a favorite shooting location for various variety shows, where people came to experience rural life. Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelFire
This round of the "Survival Challenge" required that the children could not be accompanied by their parents during the filming of the show.
So it was not only a big test for the children but also a considerable challenge for the parents.
It meant they had to learn to let go and allow their children to step out of their protection and start living independently.
...
This was nothing like those kindergarten variety shows!
Kindergarten shows ended after filming, and you were only away for a few hours.
But this was a full 72 hours without seeing them!
A live challenge for 72 hours, with the whole internet participating!
How can one bear this!
Xia Anyang packed and repacked Nuo Nuo's backpack several times, and when the bus's engine started and was ready to depart, Xia Anyang still refused to let go of the backpack, instead gazing at Nuo Nuo with hopeful eyes.
"Nuo Nuo, Dad wants to discuss with you, is it still possible to quit the competition now?"
Nuo Nuo gave a helpless look, "Dad, you're not a little kid anymore, don't be so capricious."
Nuo Nuo patted Xia Anyang on the shoulder, "Mom has to go back to class, and you have to go back to the store to work and earn money. If you don't go back, how will you buy beautiful clothes for mom and me, and how will you pay the staff?"
"But... you're really too young!" said Xia Anyang, "You're the youngest among these children."
"You You is as young as I am, and if You You can do it, so can I."
Nuo Nuo comforted Xia Anyang, saying, "Besides, You You and I can help each other, there won't be any problems."
Just at that moment, Fang You was looking at Xia Anyang with a face full of anticipation.
Even a mosquito is still flesh.
...
Huh?
At this very moment, Fang You's mind did not receive an Emotional Energy prompt.
The setting toggle was on, and the Energy bar hadn't changed, which was [46223/50000].
Reluctantly, Xia Anyang handed over the backpack to Nuo Nuo, then turned his gaze to Fang You beside him.
[Xia Anyang realizes he has never relied on you like he does now, Emotional Energy +15]
On regular days, he would squabble with his daughter over her being too clingy, but when faced with letting his daughter confront challenges from the outside world without being able to protect her, Xia Anyang had no choice but to follow the most genuine, most real voice in his heart—
[Nuo Nuo starts off with a real damage attack, truly a darling daughter who's taken the internet by storm]
[If you look closely, it's indeed tough to tell - after all, he really does look like an adult, I'd make the same mistake]
[Is the age gap really that big? Honestly, I didn't realize he was actually a contestant]
[That's the basketball prodigy Lu Weizhuang, right? He dribbled two basketballs for more than 300 times without a miss in the Longdu district competition]
Xia Nuo and Fang You found an empty row of seats to sit down, and Xia Nuo handed her backpack to Fang You.
The challenge Fang You faced was to stuff the backpack into the overhead shelf!
Just then, a girl next door poked Fang You's back.
She wore her hair in twin ponytails and was dressed in a leather jacket, embodying a punk style, with a star sticker on her face.
"Little brother, need a sister's help?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Fang You, blessed with Extraordinary Wrist Strength, easily lifted up his backpack.
Fang You could sense the precise angles and positions guiding his effort.
With just a light hop and a shot, he tossed the backpack onto the luggage shelf.
Such is the worth of a Sharpshooter!
"Not bad at all, you're stronger than you look."
The cool girl offered her hand to Fang You, "You must be Emperor Youyou, and sister really likes you!"
The cool girl threw Fang You a wink and said, "My name is Su Mumu, you can call me Sister Mumu."
"Hello."
Confronted with Su Mumu's friendliness, Fang You merely nodded his head as a simple gesture of acknowledgement, maintaining his usual aloof demeanor.
Meanwhile, Xia Nuo was leaning over in her seat, fixated on the high-ponytailed girl in the row behind them who remained silent and seemed to be resting with her eyes closed.
Noticing Xia Nuo's gaze, the girl couldn't help but open her eyes and inquire,
"Is there something you want?"
"I've seen you on TV!"
"You're the millennium's strongest, China's Destruction Dragon, the genius martial arts beauty..." Xia Nuo counted on her fingers.
"I don't have all those crazy names!" Yue Yipei couldn't help but retort.
"You look a lot like the Orchid Fairy from 'Jasmine Fairy'!"
Xia Nuo asked excitedly, "Are you the real one?"
