Chapter 199 171 The plan for the second half of the summer vacation
The Talent of the Father's Name...
This ability has something to say.
Although it seemed somewhat useless at first glance, offering no substantial improvement to oneself, Fang You saw it as a venture that could reap rewards without cost.
It was like granting your close ones the ability to share some of your Talents, without any loss to yourself.
And the process was under your control; you could choose whether to grant it or not.
Though the people around Emperor Youyou were no ordinary individuals, keeping pace with Fang You was impossible without some sort of "cheat."
If they were about the same level as me without cheating, wouldn't my cheat be for nothing?
In the future, as Fang You moved toward higher evolutionary stages, he might need some helpers. After all, he couldn't be everywhere at once, and if those around him could be of more use, Fang You would, of course, welcome it.
As for whether it would seem strange to those around him...
After all, it was Fang You's ability they were inheriting. In a sense, it could be seen as a modeling role played by Youyou, so it wouldn't be odd if they acquired Talents.
That being said...
The close friends around Fang You were actually only Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu.
Man, I have so few friends!
Ling Nai was kind of a friend too, but she was too far away to count on all the time, so she couldn't be considered like that.
However, this ability isn't limited to kids, meaning the adults around could possibly inherit one's powers...
The first person Fang You thought of was to turn his old man, Fang Guanghui, into a more useful dad, which would be good for his family's future development.
Um... if he could inherit my "Skillful Mind" and "Absolute Focus," he wouldn't be scorned by mom for being clumsy and careless!
But if dad turned out to be unreliable, then I'd let Uncle Xia inherit my power. Nuo Nuo's dad's abilities are well acknowledged by everyone, and with all the musical Talents I have like "Rhythmic Mastery," "Rhythmic Mastery," and "Piano Expert," all could be a boost for Uncle Xia.
Maybe if I could give Uncle Xia my purple Talent directly, it might even spark a second spring in his career?
After all, it's a bit hard to believe that someone as young as me could write such incredible songs...
But to satisfy the inheritance conditions, it seems that the other person has to be compatible with one's Talent to have a chance of triggering it, so I'll need to observe to see the specifics...
After the fun at Fairyland, Ayu had a significant change in her attitude towards Dad.
Whether it was because Dad had stood up to protect her, impressing Ayu, or because of Dad's prestigious reputation inspiring respect—
the result was that Dad had regained Ayu's trust and was once again acknowledged by her as her dad.
Ayu was willing to go shopping for clothes and eat out at restaurants with Dad again, even going to the movies together.
So, the option for a father-daughter bonding vacation became a possibility—
One day, Luo Xianyu suddenly shared her upcoming itinerary with Fang You and Xia Nuo in the park:
"Ayu is going to play in Star Harbor with mom and dad!"
"Where's Star Harbor?"
"It's overseas! On a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Dad said the coral reefs there are beautiful and it was the filming location for 'The Mermaid'!"
"Wow, going all the way to Star Harbor?"
"Because Dad said he never had the chance to take Mom and me out for fun, and this time he got an invitation from that Uncle Long, so he's taking us to an academic conference there."
"It's actually work that's keeping him busy, but he's taking Mom and me along for fun..."
Luo Xianyu mumbled with a pout, "But actually, I think it's more about accompanying Mom. Ayu is just tagging along."
Despite saying that, she must be quite pleased inside.
"Have a great time, Ayu," Fang You said as he patted Ayu's head.
"Mm-hmm, Ayu will bring back gifts for You You and Nuo Nuo!"
By now, Ayu had grown accustomed to calling Fang You "You You," and this change in address made Fang You feel very at ease.
But Xia Nuo had a sense of reluctance to part, and ever since hearing the news, she hadn't been very active, "So, when do you plan to come back?"
"It'll probably be until the end of summer break... Mom has also deliberately saved up her annual leave to have a long break together."
"That long! Can Ayu really play with Mom and Dad for such an extended period? You'll be sick of it in a few days, trust me!"
Xia Nuo said, "By then, you can only watch Mom and Dad flaunt their love, and you'll find it incredibly boring and really miss coming home to play with You You!"
Was that why you came back from the beach after less than three days to find me!
It was quite a scene to imagine what Nuo Nuo's parents must have been like in their display of affection.
"I, I think it's alright, my dad doesn't really like to be affectionate with Mom in front of me..."
Luo Xianyu scratched her face, "Besides, I am quite looking forward to vacationing with Mom and Dad, as we have never done it together before."
"That, that's true..."
Xia Nuo herself often went on vacation with her parents, and although she didn't have long vacation experiences, she really was tired of it.
"When I'm not here, I'm entrusting the park to you two to keep things running!"
Luo Xianyu gave Xia Nuo and Fang You big hugs each.
"I'll share with you all the different creatures I'll see at the starport!"
"Mmm, keep in touch, okay."
"Goodbye!"
Fang You accompanied Xia Nuo back to the residential complex, where Xia Nuo walked with her head down, deep in thought.
At this point, Fang You put his hand on Xia Nuo's shoulder and gently played with her cheek.
"What's wrong... Can't stand to part? You didn't seem this down when Ling Nai left last time."
"Yeah..."
Xia Nuo nodded, "It doesn't matter if Ling Nai leaves, but Ayu usually never leaves my side, and now suddenly not seeing her for such a long time, it still feels..."
"Although you don't say it, in your heart you've always treated Ayu like a daughter, haven't you?"
"Mm-hmm... You caught me."
Xia Nuo laughed and stuck out her tongue at Fang You, "Everyone else is going out to have fun, so we should too. Let's go to Qiankun City together and watch the moon rocket launch!"
"You're still hung up on that, huh..."
Fang You thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, have you talked to your father about this? It's time to tell him now."
"Yes! I've discussed it with Dad, as long as I stay home this month and read well, completing my daily learning goals, I can keep the end of the month free to go with us to Qiankun City to watch the rocket!"
"Uncle Xia actually agreed... That's rare."
"What's so rare about that."
Xia Nuo was somewhat puzzled, "Dad is obviously a creature that is very easy to persuade. Just act a bit spoiled and praise him, and naturally, he will want to take me there, wouldn't he? Isn't Ayu's dad the same..."
That's because both your dads are slaves to their daughters, silly.
But... which father doesn't love his daughter?
That seems to be a given...
However, since Ayu is going on vacation and Nuo Nuo has to stay home to study, it looks like I'm going to have a rather free and solitary time for the next month...
Fang You decided to take the opportunity while everyone was busy with their stuff to update the progress of the park and to also check on the recent work status of his employees.
