Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Do you, do you still like Joker?"

Xia Nuo exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you had moved on and fallen for someone else long ago!"

"Moved on and fallen for someone else, am I that kind of person?" Wang Zihan huffily pointed at Xia Nuo, "Don't you slander me."

"Didn't you have a crush on Reina first, then later on Mu Mu, and after that, it was Qiao—Joker."

Xia Nuo stuck out her tongue, "I thought this time you'd have your eyes on another girl…"

"I was too young before, but after going through so many ups and downs, I finally know who my true love is."

Wang Zihan put on an air as if he was profoundly deep, "Now that I'm about to be a middle school student, I won't be as shallow as I was in elementary school. More than a cute appearance and sweet personality, what I care about is the strength of the soul."

"To me, Joker is exactly that kind of girl, filled with the aura of a strong person."

"You like Joker so much, she must be really nice to you too!"@@novelbin@@

Xia Nuo asked curiously, "Have you two met in private?"

"We haven't met because Joker is a bit socially anxious."

Wang Zihan waved his hand, "She never meets anyone offline, and she is rarely online too."

"Isn't that just like she doesn't pay much attention to you."

"However! Even though we don't chat much, I know we're both busy with our own careers, with the goal that one day when we both become the strongest in our respective fields, then we'll meet at the summit…"

"Oh, is that so…"

Xia Nuo applauded, "Then you're pretty amazing!"

Wang Zihan, a little embarrassed by Xia Nuo's compliments, was about to shake his hair and boast some more, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Fang You, who was walking by.

"Wait a minute... Aren't you Fang You?"

"Any problem?" Fang You raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Zihan swallowed, "Kid... how did you get like that?"

"Get like what?" Xia Nuo asked curiously, "Why can't you speak straight to him? Aren't you a child star?"

"Just... feels a bit unfamiliar."

Wang Zihan touched his cheek and then mumbled a few times before falling silent again.

Compared to when Wang Zihan saw him at the age of nine, aside from being taller there wasn't much change, but perhaps this was also because the changes in Fang You and Xia Nuo were simply too striking.

Zhendan Academy had all attending students report independently, so most students did not have parents accompanying them. A few parents were together with their children on the bus, but in the end, they were persuaded to leave by Zhendan Academy's staff.

"Excuse me, please cooperate with our work."

"I, I am also a student from Zhendan Academy's winter camp! Don't I look it?"

"It's impossible for an elementary school student to be bald to this degree."

"Can't I be mature for my age, hey... my son can't do without me! Son, son!"

"Daddy, Daddy, don't leave me—Dad—"

The boy stopped crying as soon as his father got off the bus, then he opened his backpack, took out a small mirror, and began to tidy himself up again.

His behavior sparked discussion among some of the girls on the bus.

"Hey, do you know that kid?"

"That kid seems to be a very famous child star, with more than two million fans."

"I know, I know, they say he's the most handsome elementary school student of this era, without a doubt!"

"Really? How come I think that... that classmate is quite handsome too."

"I see, I see it too! The kind that makes your heart flutter, right?"

"Damn it, what's with girls these days, do they only care about looks?"

Wang Zihan said with some indignation, "What's so interesting about that... that kid just knows how to act mature, he can't compare to someone innocent and naive like me!"

Xia Nuo leaned on her chair looking at Wang Zihan, "So, are you a has-been child star now?"

"No, no! I haven't fallen out of favor!"

Wang Zihan said, "I'm just breaking through with my acting, trying out some different roles."

Xia Nuo let out a sigh, "Alas, you've grown old, Zi Han."

"Shut up! You dead girl—"

"Nah nah nah!"

Xia Nuo made a face at Wang Zihan and then turned to bury herself into Fang You's arms. Wang Zihan clutched at the seat trying to hit Xia Nuo, but then saw Fang You embrace Xia Nuo, patting her head gently, and then giving Wang Zihan a cool look.

Wang Zihan immediately shrank back into his seat.

Wang Zihan's character had been active on the big screen for many years, and in recent years, he didn't have any standout roles. His comical ways were repetitive, and although that twisted facial expression was classic, it wasn't endlessly amusing.

With the help of his "Eyes Like Torches" talent, Fang You glanced at Xiong Tuozai's overall talent rating. This actor, with a career level as high as LV5, was clearly Wang Zihan's biggest challenger in his acting career.

Although he was only LV5, merely at the expert level, there is still a gap between professions!

Xiong Tuozai's occupation had changed from [Child Star] to [Actor], indicating that his professional standards had been greatly recognized, and he was no longer just a child relying on his cuteness.

Fang You felt someone poking him from behind. When he turned to look back, he suddenly heard a "pop!" "bang!" as something exploded.

It was the sound of a girl's bubble gum bursting next to his ear.

The girl had bright stars stuck on her face, her braids containing colorful strands, looking quite charming and adorable:

"Hey, handsome, my name is Xu Lingyi, what's your name?"

"Fang You."

Fang You replied softly.

"Make friends?"

Xu Lingyi pulled a pink bubble gum out of his pocket and held it out to Fang You, but Fang You did not reach out to take it.

"Sorry, it's a bit inconvenient."

Fang You's hands were both holding Xia Nuo, so he could not free a hand.

"No worries, no worries, that's easy! I'll just feed you."

As Xu Lingyi said this, he peeled the wrapper off the bubble gum and aimed it straight for Fang You's mouth.

"Ao wu."

At that moment, Xia Nuo wriggled out from Fang You's embrace, and as she sat up, she ended up eating the bubble gum Xu Lingyi was trying to feed.

"Yummy, it's my favorite sweet strawberry flavor! Thank you! My name is Xia Nuo, just call me... mmm... call me Nuo Nuo."

Xia Nuo extended her hand to Xu Lingyi, who didn't mind:

"Hello there, Nuo Nuo, you're also so cute. Call me Lingyi, or you can call me 'X,' that's my name online."

Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't see there was another one in your arms just now, Fang You... so... are you guys dating?"

"Dating."

Xia Nuo asked curiously, "What's dating?"

"It means being in a relationship."

"We're not dating; we are childhood friends."

Xia Nuo said, "We grew up together from a young age!"

"Good, good, no wonder you two are so close."

Xu Lingyi said, "But since you're not a couple, I can relax now."

"Relax... about what?"

Before Xia Nuo could finish speaking, Xu Lingyi suddenly leaned in—

And then, kissed Fang You on the face!

Very nonchalant, very natural, as effortlessly as eating or drinking water!

But Emperor Youyou was faster!

Pur—bah.

...

At the critical moment, Xu Lingyi's kiss landed on the back of Fang You's hand.

It was clear Xu Lingyi had not expected Fang You to move so quickly to cover his cheek with his hand, blocking her mouth, and she seemed quite incredulous.

"Your reaction is so fast... even faster than me!"

[Xu Lingyi admires that you are a very quick man. Emotional Energy +100]

Xu Lingyi said in surprise, "It's the first time I've seen a boy react so quickly."

"Please show me a bit more respect."

Fang You spoke with a level tone that carried an absolute authority, "I'm not any easy guy."

"Hahaha, is that so? I've been studying abroad until now. Over there, it's very common for friends to greet each other with a kiss!"

"But here, only childhood friends can kiss like that, oh!"

Xia Nuo jumped in quickly for the first time, "When you are in a new environment, you have to respect other people's way of life, and you can't do that anymore."

"Because if you make Youyou angry, I'll get very angry too."

"Sorry, sorry, your childhood friend is just too irresistible, I couldn't help myself..."

Xu Lingyi playfully stuck out her tongue, "Anyway, forgive me for my cuteness' sake. I promise there won't be a next time!"

"It's best if there really isn't a next time!"

Xia Nuo said, "Otherwise, if Youyou really gets angry, I can't hold him back."

"Eh... seriously?"

These kids from outside seemed too open at times and although they were only 12-year-old primary school students, they were already tough and wild to handle.

Fang You looked curiously at Xu Lingyi's profile information:

[Name: Xu Lingyi]

[Comprehensive occupational talent: SS]

[Core occupation: Super Hacker lv6 (Master level)]

[Xu Lingyi is the well-known online hacker "X" from the top hacker website Geek Roundtable. "X" cracked addiction prevention systems at the age of 5, hacked into the school website to change all his test scores to full marks at 9, and by 11, could demonstrate hacking into Pear phones within 5 minutes, earning a great reputation]

Wow, this guy's speed... really was quick.

Although Xu Lingyi started with very impolite behavior, after all, ignorance is no crime, and Xia Nuo quickly warmed up to her, chatting and hitting it off.

"By the way, you just said that only childhood friends can do that, so you must have kissed, right?"

"Yep, we've kissed."

Xia Nuo nodded, "What about it?"

"How did you two kiss? I want to see."

Xu Lingyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Let me see what a childhood friends' kiss is like."
