Becoming a life winner from infancy

Although the timing of this random task was somewhat unexpected, and the difficulty was worlds apart from the previous ones,

Fang You thought about it and decided to accept it anyway.

Brave You You, not afraid of difficulty!

And there was another reason why Fang You chose to accept the task.

This uncle had already been seen through by Nuo Nuo.

Although Xia Nuo was just a child who spoke without a filter, with no ill intentions in her heart, just speaking her mind carelessly,

if he really had started to take his life after that, it might have become a shadow over Nuo Nuo's childhood.

And that would be a big blow to Nuo Nuo's healthy growth.

Meanwhile, Xia Nuo's attempt to comfort Song Hang seemed to have had no effect.

He took a deep breath and sighed, saying:

"Surviving is not easy, you kids are still young, but when you grow up you will understand how difficult life can be."

"Ah, really? But my dad seems very relaxed when he goes to work. I see him just eating, chatting, and drinking with people, and that's the work done."

"Your dad... must be a leader, right?"

"Yes, my dad is—"

Just as Xia Nuo was about to speak, Fang You pulled her back.

"Don't tell this uncle that your dad is a capitalist; it will make him feel worse."

"Can't tell him? Then I'll just talk about Uncle Fang."

"This uncle seems so sad,"

said Asai Reina, "Let's not talk to him anymore. Let's just look for the hairband and go back..."

Right at this moment, Song Hang's voice came from behind them: "I think I heard you talking about a hairband, are you talking about this one?"

Song Hang was holding a hairband in his hand, "I found it when I passed by, and was going to turn it into the security office, but then I thought someone might come back to look for it, so I waited here. Meanwhile, I thought I might as well play some hopscotch."

"Ah, it's Ling Nai's hairband!"

"Here you go..."

Song Hang handed the hairband to Asai Reina, but Asai Reina seemed hesitant, not sure whether she was too embarrassed or afraid to fetch it.

At that point, Fang You took the initiative to step forward, took the hairband, and handed it to Ling Nai.

Asai Reina thought for a moment, then put the hairband in her pocket. At that moment, Xia Nuo grabbed Fang You and Asai Reina to discuss something.

"The uncle... is actually quite nice."

Fang You nodded, "At least he's not a bad person."

"Seeing him so downhearted, I really can't stand it. How about we say something to encourage him? Ling Nai, you go first."

"I, I should encourage him first?" Asai Reina was a bit troubled.

"He found your hairband, of course, you should be the first to encourage him."

"Alright..."

Asai Reina nodded, then cleared her throat, "Thank you, uncle. You really are a good person."

Upon hearing Asai Reina's words, Song Hang's face showed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning, his facial muscles visibly twitching.

[Song Hang remembered the many years of being caged by Emotion Energy! Emotional Energy +100]

No...

I don't need so many 100 points of Emotional Energy anymore!

"Uncle, you really like playing hopscotch!"

Xia Nuo tried hard to think of words to praise Song Hang, "When you were a child, you must have been a hopscotch expert!"

Song Hang, a bit embarrassed, scratched his head, "That's true. When I was your age—I was just as carefree and innocent."

"Then why not now?"

Xia Nuo questioned, "Aren't you still the same uncle?"

"Because... because I let him down, I didn't become a very impressive adult."

"Uncle, you should be more open-minded, life isn't that difficult."

Fang You began his own process of persuasion:

"Do you remember the dreams you had when you were a child? Have any of those dreams come true? What were your dreams?"

Fang You came with the [Moe King] favorability bonus, an indiscriminate human offensive, and the uncle would listen carefully to what he said.

"The dream... The dream that I set for myself when I was a child was..."

"My dream was that someone would love me."

He stopped abruptly as he spoke, the golden slanting sun casting its light on his face, adding a touch of sadness and melancholy to his weathered cheeks.

Song Hang seemed to be overwhelmed by his own memories! Emotional Energy +99999!

Since the emotion didn't originate from Fang You, Fang You couldn't receive it.

"Uncle, Uncle, try to think of a happy dream," Nuo Nuo urged.

Fang You pondered for a moment, "My mom said she always wanted to go to Disneyland when she was little. Have you been to Disneyland now?"

"I did go... with someone I liked."

Song Hang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

"Ah, that's so romantic!"

"No, it wasn't. She complained about my lack of photogenic quality, blocked me after we went, and never contacted me again."

"Then... let's not talk about going out to play!"

It seems Uncle with social anxiety doesn't have any fond experiences of being socially fulfilled; it's better not to bring that up.

"You must have had many games you wanted to play before, and a computer that didn't lag, right?"

Fang You tried hard to put on a friendly face, hoping to heal his uncle, "Does your computer still lag now, have you played many games that you really wanted to play?"

"The computer has been replaced, and I've bought the games."

Song Hang sighed, "But it seems like once I bought them, my interest in playing waned, and I don't have friends to play with anymore. They're all married with families, and I find it more interesting to scroll through short videos on Kuaiyin."

Ah, this...

For the first time, Fang You encountered such a tough opponent; now he understood just how hard it was to earn this kind of knowledge energy.

"Well, at least you can eat fried chicken and burgers every day, right?"

"That's true... After all, a fried chicken burger is the cheapest lunch in a big city like Shenyun."

"Yay, then Uncle is still pretty cool, having fried chicken burgers every day!"

Xia Nuo said, "I can't eat fried chicken burgers every day!"

Because Dad said fried chicken burgers are junk food, one can only eat them occasionally. Xia Nuo usually ate the lunches and dinners full of love made by Mom, and the Michelin-starred meals Dad took him to.

"But actually, I usually order the 13.9 yuan 1+1 meal deal. The more expensive four-item set requires a membership card, which I think is a waste of money. It's cheaper to eat at the cafeteria downstairs, so—"

Upon hearing this, the childlike joy that suffused Fang You's face disappeared instantly, and his expression became grim:

"To be 29 and still living like this, your life really doesn't seem to have much meaning."

Emperor Youyou had never suffered like this in his two lifetimes; Uncle's experiences were truly beyond belief!

"Ah, don't give up on me yet!"

Song Hang pleaded, "I feel like... I can still be saved... it's just that I'm a bit down and out right now, but if I get through this period, Uncle will slowly recover."

"But I think Uncle is really interesting!"

Xia Nuo said seriously, "Don't you guys think so?"

"Really... really?"

Uncle scratched his head, his face breaking into a smile of disbelief touched by healing.

Good, that's the spirit, Nuo Nuo, let your innocence and cheerfulness influence him!

"To have survived despite such circumstances, I think Uncle is quite incredible!"

Song Hang immediately displayed an expression as if he were petrified on the spot.

Just then, as Fang You was about to say something, his smartwatch suddenly rang. Find exclusive stories on empire

"Mom is calling us back for dinner."

Xia Nuo waved to the uncle, "Then, see you later, Uncle!"

"See you... see you..."

Song Hang's waving was a bit stiff.

"Let's play together when you're free! Show me your hopscotch skills."

"Ah... okay."

Surprised by Xia Nuo's words, an astonished look appeared on Song Hang's face.

When will there be a free moment...?

At this moment, Fang You suddenly realized something.

After Xia Nuo and Asai Reina had walked away, he turned back and tugged at Song Hang's arm, striking up a conversation:

"Uncle, come back here again tomorrow."

"Take me to your place to check out your games."

"The games you don't want to play, let me help you play them."
