Becoming a life winner from infancy

Meanwhile, the trio including Fang You were squatting near the exit of the haunted house, waiting for Fish Dad to appear.

It was at this moment that a towering man nearly 2 meters tall appeared before them.

He was wearing an extremely colorful T-shirt with patterns of stars all over it, his sinewy muscles demanding a few extra glances, and his hat was adorned with various indescribable strange tentacle creatures.

...

He seemed like a character straight out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

At this time, he was asking an acrobatics performer passing by for directions. Seeing such a burly man speaking to him, he did not dare to neglect him and stopped in his tracks.

"Hello, could you tell me how to get to the jellyfish exhibition? I'm here to see the jellyfish."

"Ah, the jellyfish exhibition, well, you walk around this way... But the jellyfish light show is about to end, and the next one won't be until the evening."

"Alright, thank you."

Despite being a very strong man, he came across as very polite.

After nodding at the staff member, he glanced at Fang You and the others as he passed by and made brief eye contact with Fang You before striding off towards the other end of the street.

...

A curious man with a fondness for jellyfish.

At this time, Luo Xianyu, who had been waiting for so long without seeing her father, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

"Could it be that my dad... really got taken away by a ghost?"

"No way, Ayu, don't worry too much."

Xia Nuo patted Luo Xianyu's head, "Your dad is a scholar who can conquer the polar regions of the Blue Planet; he won't be afraid of these little ghosts."

"Phew..."

"Fish Dad is coming."

Looking in the direction Fang You was staring, they saw Fish Dad hurrying over from near the entrance of the haunted house.

"Dad, how come you're coming from that side?"

"I got a call from a colleague just now saying there was an urgent matter to address, so I dealt with it on the fly and didn't have time to tell you, sorry about that..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xianyu immediately turned into a frowning mess, "So dad never actually went inside the haunted house... right!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just didn't have time to tell you." Fish Dad kept apologizing.

"Dad, really... you're too unreliable!"

Luo Xianyu stomped her feet in anger, "How can you be Ayu's dad like this!"

"It's my fault, Dad... uh, how about Dad joins you for another round through the haunted house, would that be okay?"

"Ayu doesn't want to play anymore!"

Upset, Luo Xianyu said, "Dad never took Ayu seriously!"

"How about Dad buys you ice cream as an apology?"

"I don't want it!"

At this moment, Fang You reminded Luo Xianyu, "The ice cream at Rainbow Fairyland is special; they have those Jasmine Fairy co-branded popsicles that are really cute and can't be found anywhere else."

Uh... huh?

Upon hearing there was a beautiful limited-edition popsicle she'd never tried, Luo Xianyu's spirits lifted, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Then, I want that."

"I want one too, Fish Dad!" Xia Nuo interjected, raising her hand, "I want the Jasmine Fairy flavor."

"Then Dad will go buy them! Uh... the popsicles are at ——"

"Over here, Fish Dad."

Fang You pointed out, saying, "Come with me to buy them, Fish Dad."

"We'll wait for you here."

Fang You and Fish Dad went together to stand in line for the popsicles.

While queueing up, and with Ayu not around, Fish Dad finally relaxed from his stiff demeanor to reveal a worn-out look plainly written on his face.

"You You, you didn't have to come buy the popsicles with me; you could have just stayed with Nuo Nuo and Ayu. It's hot here."

"I'll keep Fish Dad company and chat."

Fang You pondered, "Fish Dad seems off today, could he be too anxious?"

"Ah... yes, yes, somewhat."

Fish Dad wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I, as an uncle, haven't spent much time with Ayu, and sometimes I really don't understand what's on her mind... I want to respond properly to Ayu, but I'm afraid of sounding foolish and not coming off as a great dad."

"Fish Dad is just too tense right now. Ayu isn't worrying about so much."

Fang You said, "As I see it, Ayu doesn't really need you to be that amazing, or rather, it's not necessary to be better than others in every aspect."

"You see, my dad often says some silly things to me, and acts like a child doing foolish stuff. Although most of the time it annoys me, I can feel he really cares about me."

Fang You softly added, "I think that's enough, actually."

"For children, the care and companionship of their father are what make them think their dad is the greatest and most admirable."

Most fathers don't have the time to be with their children because they are overwhelmed by work.

The busy work always leaves fathers breathless, and the time they can spend with their children becomes very scarce.

That's why companionship is all the more precious.

For Fang You, there was scant chance to experience paternal love in his past life.

Therefore, he never had the inclination to idolize his father.

Although time spent with Fang Guanghui often felt contrary to the natural order, the days they spent together never bored Fang You.

Putting aside who was showing fatherly love to whom, there... indeed was fatherly love present.

Compared to Ayu, even though she also longed for her father to be a great dad, her biggest grievance was not feeling cared for and accompanied by her father, feeling that she wasn't valued by him. What she needed most now was to change this perspective.

"So you see, Dad Fish, don't be afraid of making mistakes. Brave the attempts and don't fear being disliked."

"As long as you make Ayu feel that you care about her, that's enough."

"..."

"You You."

"I guess I know now why Ayu is so clingy to you. You're so different from other kids."

"Uncle believes that you'll definitely become a very good dad in the future, You You."

Dad Fish smiled and patted Fang You's head, "Thanks for the encouragement. I think I know what I need to do now."

[It seems you have grasped the essence of fatherly love, knowledge energy +50]

The two bought ice creams and came over; seeing the lovely Iris Fairy and Jasmine Fairy ice creams, Ayu's mood improved a lot.

"Is the Iris Fairy tasty, Ayu?"

"Delicious, here, try some."

"Then I'll let you have the Jasmine Fairy."

Ayu and Xia Nuo shared the flavors of the ice creams, and after tasting each other's, Xia Nuo held out the ice cream towards Fang You.

"You You, try a bite too. Open up... Ah—"

"I'll only take one bite."

"Is it yummy?"

"Yeah."

"Then have another bite!"

"I said I'm only having one bite!"

"You You, You You, you can't just spoil Nuo Nuo, try mine too!"

Luo Xianyu and Xia Nuo vied to stuff their ice creams into Fang You's mouth.

Then, holding her ice cream, Luo Xianyu suddenly looked up at her dad.

...

At this moment, Dad Fish had picked up his camera, trying to capture Ayu's adorable side.

The scene of Luo Xianyu turning to look at her dad with an ice cream in hand was captured.

"Oh no, Dad! You're so annoying! Who let you take photos?"

"Because Ayu looks so cute like this, I couldn't help but snap a picture."

"..."

"Let me see it, if it's not good, it has to be deleted."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmm... Dad thinks Ayu looks super cute."

"..."

Luo Xianyu looked at the photo her dad had taken, and at that moment Xia Nuo and Fang You also crowded over:

"Let me see, let me see—wow, Ayu, the way your hair is fluttering, it's so beautiful, like a movie star! It's even better than the photos my dad takes."

"It's really well taken."

Fang You gave a nod of agreement, "On par with the photographer who did the ad shoot for me and Nuo Nuo."

"No wonder Mom Fish fell for Dad Fish, every girl loves a man who can take good photos."

Luo Xianyu fell silent amidst the continuous compliments from Xia Nuo and Fang You.

Dad Fish was indeed great at photography.

That was something Ayu knew without saying.

Because Dad Fish often sent her photos he took in the polar regions.

Penguin migrations, the aurora on the ice plains, and the beautiful icy snowfields, the dazzling and colorful marvel of the underwater world.

...

Ayu glanced at her ice cream that was starting to melt, and looked over at her dad sharing his photography wisdom with the kids. She muttered as if wanting to speak up, but in the end, decided against it and turned to run ahead by herself.

"Ayu, where are you going?"

"I, I'm going to the restroom."

"Are you taking your ice cream with you?"

"Ah, that—"

Luo Xianyu fiddled with her melting ice cream, struggling for a moment without watching where she was going, which resulted in her accidentally getting ice cream on a passing woman and dropping it on the ground.
