Becoming a life winner from infancy

Asai Reina lost consciousness for a moment and felt as if she was in a world of white.

When she closed her eyes and then opened them again, the scene in front of her was completely transformed—

"Welcome to our secret base—'Paradise'!"

"Is this, is this our old cabin?"

"Yeah?"

"What kind of magic...magic is this, you tricked me."

Asai Reina gazed at the sci-fi-looking, fully metallic base in front of her, her eyes scanning the intelligent holograms and automated machinery filling her view.

"When did it change to this! No? How did I get here?"

Asai Reina had many objections, but she quickly gave up struggling due to a cognitive issue with the level of modern technology achieved, known as "thought assimilation".

"Pretty impressive, right? We did it together."

The original cabin's talent, "Domain Expansion," was upgraded to a higher-tier talent after Fang You implanted a surpassing seed in it.

Besides the ability to teleport anytime and anywhere, the secret base of Domain Expansion also added many room expansion features.

The original small cabin transformed into a high-tech secret base, which not only doubled in size but also included a considerably large hall, plus added bathrooms and a kitchen, and even a dry food storage room, expanding into a three-floor building.

However, the expansion consisted of rooms extending underground.

Xia Nuo pointed at the mobile home here and then said:

"Look, from here you can enter the rooms below."

"This secret base is too much like a secret base! It's just like a shelter safe house."

"This side is Xian Yu's room, this side is my room, this is my room, and this room too."

"Is this my room?"

Full of anticipation, Asai Reina opened the door only to see many, many cardboard boxes.

"Nope, this is the storeroom."

"I knew it..."

Asai Reina wasn't unhappy; after all, it was normal to be overlooked since she hadn't been in touch for so long and wasn't part of the circle.

But as she stepped into the room, she saw something familiar at the end of the pile of boxes.

"This is... this is the bed I ordered before, right?"

"Yeah, you found it."

Xia Nuo stuck her tongue out, "Since that's the case, I'll just give this suite to you!"

"Really... can I really have it?"

Asai Reina covered her face, her eyes sparkling brightly, showing a deeply moved expression.

"For someone like me, after not contacting you all for so many years, I, I—always felt sorry, we used to be such good friends. No matter how busy my affairs were, I should have made time to be with you, and that thing—"

"Let's not count that."

Xia Nuo was about to turn and leave when Asai Reina suddenly hugged her from behind, displaying an excited expression.

"Yes, yes, I want it! I desperately need such a personal space for myself!"

"Alright, alright, that's my good girl!"

Xia Nuo smiled and patted Asai Reina on the head, then said, "However, I don't have the final say here in Paradise, because without You You bringing us here, we couldn't get here, so you need to get along well with You You, don't let him dislike you, take good care of him at school, he sometimes can't handle things gracefully, you have to learn to defuse situations, try to help him do things, when he wants to be class president, you have to be the first to respond, whatever he asks you to do, you can't refuse, you can't make him unhappy, you know—"

Xia Nuo suddenly rambled on and on with Asai Reina, who initially listened fine, but later realized something was not right.

Just as she was about to say something, Fang You gently stepped back, walked in front of Xia Nuo, and spoke with a firm tone.

"Why are you making Reina do all these things; I don't need her to take care of me."

"Hehe, I was just kidding."

Xia Nuo said with a smirk, "I told you, Reina won't take it seriously."

"It's been so long since you've seen Reina, don't keep picking on her."

"Well, I'm not really picking on her, I think it's fine—"

Asai Reina tried to interject, but Fang You immediately cut her off—

"Don't talk."

"Okay!"

At this moment, Xia Nuo fell silent and pouted, looking towards the wall.

"Yu, come here."

"What's up, You You?"

"Take Reina for a tour around Paradise, I need to talk to Nuo Nuo about something."

Luo Xianyu nodded vigorously, then grabbed Asai Reina by the elbow.

"Let's go, Reina."

"Alright, alright."

Asai Reina saw Fang You show that expression for the first time. Although it was not furious, it had an oppressive aura that made it hard to interrupt.

After coming out of the basement with Luo Xianyu, Asai Reina felt very down.

She took Luo Xianyu's hand and asked proactively:

"By the way, were You You and Nuo Nuo having an argument just now? If that's the case, then I feel like I've made a huge mistake..."

"Hmph."

Luo Xianyu hummed lightly and then complained, "How could you be capable of that? Their relationship is really good."

But she also sighed after speaking.

"However, I rarely see dad make that kind of expression."

"Actually, I think Nuo Nuo has made her feelings quite clear."

Asai Reina said, "I remember this is probably the first time she hasn't been in the same class with You You, so she might be a bit worried, which is also normal."

"..."

"?"

"!!!"

Luo Xianyu showed a brief look of shock, then returned to her usual demeanor:

"Cough cough, I've noticed that too, but after all, I'm someone close and know everything about them..."

"But how did you realize it?"

Luo Xianyu asked in surprise, "I've noticed that you really don't seem to get upset over Nuo Nuo's jokes."

Hearing this, Asai Reina pressed her lips together and smiled, then thought for a moment before saying:

"Yu, do you know how to detect malice in people?"

Asai Reina said, "When someone jokes with you, whether or not there's malice, or if it's just pure teasing, I can tell."

"Nuo Nuo can be annoying sometimes. No wait... she has been annoying since we were kids, but I know that she truly considers me a friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't share so many things or do so many things with me."

"I thought you couldn't make any other friends, so you had to hang out with us by force."

"How is that possible! Just listen to the lyrics in 'Secret Base,' you should know!"

Hearing this, Asai Reina looked quite aggrieved, and her eyes even reddened, "I really cherish our friendship!"

"..."

Luo Xianyu was embarrassed by Asai Reina's words, "Such embarrassing words, and you can say them, truly worthy of someone from Yingdu."

"You you you... You're so annoying! I really dislike you, Yu!"

Asai Reina pinched Luo Xianyu's cheek, resulting in Luo Xianyu lifting her up.

Xian Yu, taking after her mother, was tall, at 168 cm, quite a contrast to the petite 155 cm Reina.

But Xian Yu wasn't very strong, and lifting her tired her out quickly.

It was as if they had fought a battle.

This was also what people from Yingdu liked to say, a proof of their bond...

"Reina, shall we go and see, check how Nuo Nuo and You You are doing?"

Xian Yu said, "Actually, I'm a bit worried that You You and Nuo Nuo might start fighting over this."

"I've never seen that before."

"Alright, alright."

Asai Reina said, "I really want to go and see too."

"If we get caught, let's say you insisted on going and I was forced."

Xian Yu playfully objected, "I'm all grown up now, I don't want to get spanked by You You anymore."

Wait a minute...

You you, you still get spanked by You You?

Uh... oh well...

Asai Reina felt it was not the time to dwell on this matter.

"Alright, alright... let's say it was my idea."

So Xian Yu took Asai Reina back to the first floor below ground.

They were about to head to the storage room (now probably Reina's room), but had just walked a few steps down the corridor when they both involuntarily stopped.

The scene in front of them was something they would never forget.

Fang You was seen leaning one hand against the wall, the other tilting Xia Nuo's chin up.

At this moment, Xia Nuo clearly had not expected Fang You's action, her hands pressed against the wall, looking somewhat perplexed.

At that time, Fang You also slowly leaned toward Xia Nuo's cheek.
