Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 22: 021 You are too anxious.

What does Nuo Nuo like?

She seems to like everything, and is interested in everything.

So, that's why it's difficult to pick out a gift for her...

Seeing his son silent, Chen Xuan thought he was feeling guilty, so she took Fang You's hand and encouraged him in a soft voice, "It's actually normal to be indecisive, after all, it's your first time giving a birthday present to a good friend."

"But Mom thinks, what you give specifically isn't important, what's important is whether the gift can let her feel your sentiment..."

"That's right, exactly."

Fang Guanghui also encouraged Fang You on the side, "You are a little man, trust your intuition!"

Intuition, huh...

Dad is really a straight man through and through.

Considering the developmental pace of this world, the previous Fang You and Fang Guanghui were probably from the same generation, both post-90s.

Fang You definitely made more money than Fang Guanghui, even quite a bit more.

In his previous life, Fang You drove a V9 with a view, while Fang Guanghui could only drive a Daqin.

The previous Fang You was also smarter than Fang Guanghui, and of course, more handsome than him too.

But, Fang Guanghui had more smiles on his face than Fang You did in his previous life.

With such a great wife, Fang Guanghui must be beaming with joy!

Fang You thought his mom, Chen Xuan, was a very good mother.

So, how exactly did Dad manage to marry his mom, who is as beautiful as a flower and gentle and virtuous?

Fang You wanted to know.

He lifted his head, his face full of curiosity as he asked Fang Guanghui,

"Speaking of which, Dad, what was the first gift you gave to Mom?"

"Hmm... The gift Dad gave to Mom..."

Fang Guanghui and Chen Xuan began to think with their hands on their cheeks.

"Let me think... do you remember it?"

"You think first." Chen Xuan stared at Fang Guanghui.

She seemed to remember everything.

Fang Guanghui thought for a moment, "I remember, it should be the first time I asked you out for a meal in college, we had spicy crayfish... Oh, that's right, I remember now, the gift that day, wasn't it a scratch card?"

Chen Xuan nodded her head, a relieved smile on her face, "You finally remembered this time."

"Of course, I remembered, how happy we were when buying those scratch cards back then!"

Chen Xuan didn't contradict him.

"Could it be, Mom and Dad won a big prize with the scratch cards?"

Fang You thought this parallel world was too incredible, wondering whether game licenses were also casually approved.

"Not really."

Fang Guanghui scratched his head, "But before we scraped the tickets, we did daydream about how we would spend the money if we won big. We were really happy talking about it, I remember planning for a star-rated hotel, traveling abroad, going to see the Northern Lights..."

"You remembered wrong, our first plan was to have a big feast at the Qimilin restaurant!"

Wait a minute... Isn't that your first date? How could you indulge in such far-off dreams?

Fang You was somewhat incredulous.

"So, how much did Dad win in the end?"

"Of course, we didn't win a thing, hahaha!"

Fang Guanghui patted Fang You's head, then spoke earnestly, "Dad is telling you this to teach You You a lesson you must remember well..."

"Happiness can only be created with our own hands?" Fang You tilted his head.

"You sure have a way with words, hahaha!"

Fang Guanghui shook his head with a smile, "What Dad is trying to teach you, is that in our Hua country, buying scratch cards or lottery tickets, you simply can't win big prizes! Even if you are a Reincarnator, it's no use."

"I hope Dad will also remember to remind himself the next time he buys a lottery ticket."

"Did you hear that, did you hear that! You should take to heart what your son said."

Chen Xuan prodded Fang Guanghui's arm, "Don't itch for scratch cards and lottery tickets, you're just giving money away to those people."

"Oh come on, how long has it been since I've bought any! It's just that sometimes when passing by, you can't help thinking, what if I really hit the jackpot and got rich, right..."

Fang You shook his head helplessly in his heart, it's precisely because such faint hope exists that people can't resist trying their luck.

What if it's me?

But even though they didn't win a penny, when recalling the time they bought lottery tickets, both Mom and Dad had happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.

For them, it must be a very interesting memory.

"Alright, alright, let's end the topic about Mom and Dad here."

Fang Guanghui patted Fang You's little head, "Come on, You You, sitting at home brooding won't make finding a present any easier."

"Let Dad take you to the mall for a stroll. Once you see the stuff in the shops, maybe you'll know what to give to Nuo Nuo."

Chen Xuan also nodded, "When you're picking a gift, try to think more from Nuo Nuo's perspective. Just imagine whether Nuo Nuo will be happy receiving the gift, and you'll find the answer to the present!"

Accompanied by Fang Guanghui, Fang You went to the mall to browse around and arrived at a toy city with turntables, where he began his battle.

Hmm...

When it comes to buying a gift for Nuo Nuo, the pretend play series is a surefire hit.

Twisty Kitchen Cut and Play, Doctor and Nurse First Experience, Macaroon Petite Fashion Designer...

Hmm, these all seem pretty good!

Looking at the dazzling array of modern pretend play toys, Nuo Nuo would like any of them.

Just as he was about to pick up one of the toy sets to put in his shopping cart, he suddenly remembered something.

After Nuo Nuo receives this birthday gift...

Won't she still need me to play with her!

That won't do, that won't do!

The bullets I shoot today will hit me right between the eyes after her birthday!

Maybe it's better to go with Ku Luomei and Fairy Jasmine themed merchandise!

Nuo Nuo will like it, and she can play with it by herself.

Of course, there's a high chance it'll clash with the birthday gift from Ayu.

...

Isn't that even better!

Fang You is already eager to replenish his Emotional Energy from Ayu.

Seeing his son dilly-dallying more over toy shopping than his wife does over clothes shopping, Fang Guanghui was getting a tad impatient:

"Are you done yet, Dad thinks Nuo Nuo will like any of these..."

"Dad, why are you being as impatient as a little kid, it's really rude."

Fang You said earnestly, "I'm going to tell on you to Mom!"

"Damn it, who taught you this..."

[Fang Guanghui feels like you've caught him in his weak spot! Emotional Energy +3]

After being disturbed by his dad, Fang You also quickly abandoned the idea of buying the themed merchandise.

There's no point in upsetting Ayu just for a bit of Emotional Energy.

After all, this is the first time I'm giving Nuo Nuo a birthday gift.

I should choose more carefully...

The day after selecting the birthday gift, the parents went to a restaurant they had reserved together to discuss the birthday party's decorations and setup.

As soon as Xia Nuo saw Fang You, she pulled him aside and whispered to him about the birthday:

"You You, do you want to know what birthday gift I've prepared for you?"

"You've already prepared it?" Fang You asked.

Xia Nuo nodded vigorously, swinging Fang You's arm back and forth, "Guess what, guess, come on, guess!"

Her desire to share was almost spilling out, and before Fang You could respond, she cut him off:

"Can't guess? Then I'll give you a tiny hint, it's the gift I asked you about before, the one you told me you'd think about..."

"Hmm... Let me guess..."

Fang You frowned, "Could it be the Smarty Watch?"

Xia Nuo's face showed disbelief, "Can't fool You You, you're so awesome! Right on your first guess!"

[Xia Nuo thinks you're simply a genius, Emotional Energy +1]

You almost outright told me, how could I not guess correctly!

Xia Nuo went on to say seriously, "Even though you guessed it, I can't give it to you now. Mom said we have to wait until your birthday to exchange gifts."

"Hmm... Okay."

Fang You nodded, then saw Xia Nuo looking at him with eagerness.

She pursed her lips, her hands behind her back, her big eyes bling bling.

"Do you want to know right now what I got you for your birthday?"

Xia Nuo nodded like a pecking hen.

"You're too impatient."

Fang You said seriously, "If I tell you now, then there won't be as much excitement on your birthday."

"Why not!"

Xia Nuo blinked her big eyes in confusion, "Knowing what the birthday gift is today and finding out on my birthday, isn't it the first time either way?!"

"Of course, it's different, this..."

"How is it different, how is it different?"

Xia Nuo hugged Fang You, barely able to hide her smile, "If you don't clarify... I'll tickle your ticklish spots!"

She breathed on her palm, then, suppressing her laughter, reached for Fang You's armpit.

Nuo Nuo... pfft... Nuo Nuo!

Nuo Nuo, oh Nuo Nuo, how can you be a child who can't enjoy delayed gratification, you won't be successful in the future like this!
