Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 123: 117 Shopping at the mall

Fang You's exceptional origami skills had quickly made him the most dazzling boy in the Dragon City Garden community.

Word spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and before long, more and more kids wanted to learn how to make paper airplanes from big brother Fang You.

So much so that Fang You would be approached by boys on the streets of the community, asking him when he would teach them to fold new types of airplanes again.

Fang You had initially just intended to play with paper airplanes with Nuo Nuo and whimsically teach a few kids to gather a bit of "knowledge energy."

Now it seemed he was really about to become a famous origami figure known throughout the nearby neighborhoods!

Consequently, Fang You decided to seek new playgrounds and went to the sports park near his home to have some fun.

Ayu's house was right next to this park; just a few hundred meters walk from Fang You and Xia Nuo's place, and they would pass by to call Ayu out to play.

But Ayu was refusing!

"It's so hot outside, can't we just play at home?"

Luo Xianyu was quite reluctant, looking at the brilliant sunshine outside, "The sun is so strong today; if we go outside, Ayu will get sun-dried into a little fish jerk."

"Hmm... now that you mention it, the sun does seem a bit strong."

Xia Nuo thought for a moment, "Then, shall we go play at the mall instead?"

"Yeah, can we go play at Michigan Wonderland?"

"But don't you need an adult to go to that place?" Fang You said, "My parents have to work overtime today."

Xia Nuo pondered, "My dad has also been really busy with work lately, and my mom needs to prepare lessons."

"My dad..."

Luo Xianyu glanced at Fang You, hesitated, and then said, "My parents also don't have time, it looks like the three of us are left-behind children."

"No, this doesn't quite count as left-behind children..."

Xia Nuo thought some more, "Malls aren't just about fun zones for kids, we can do other things like real adults there! Like, for example, bring our wallets and go together to... erm?"

"You, you mean..."

Luo Xianyu was somewhat excited, "The three of us go shopping together?"

"Sounds like a good idea, don't you think?"

"But, without adults with us, going to the mall, won't we get taken away by bad people?"

Luo Xianyu considered, "After all, I'm only 8 years old."

"No problem!"

"When strangers talk to us, we just say that our parents will be right there."

"Plus, Fang You looks like a 12-year-old big brother, having him with us will be very safe."

Xia Nuo patted Fang You's arm confidently, which made Fang You feel a bit put out.

Do I really look that old?

Nonetheless, he indeed had been planning to shop for some supplies recently.

The standard A4 paper he currently had was no longer meeting Fang You's origami needs, and he required a variety of colored paper.

"Fang You, can you please? Let's go together?"

Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui were already accustomed to their 8-year-old son independently doing a variety of things, and Fang You himself had never told his parents when he went shopping, but for the conventional 8-year-old child of this world, the experience of wandering around a mall without parents was still quite novel and exciting.

"Okay, but we need to let our parents know."

"Great, I'll talk to Uncle Fang! Fang You, can you call for me?"

"What?"

Xia Nuo, laughing, stuck out her tongue, "My dad would definitely disagree; your dad is easier to talk to, and if my dad scolds me, I can use Uncle Fang as a shield."

"..."

Uncle Fang's leniency had become well-known far and wide!

The three kids disbanded on the spot, each heading home to get ready. Xia Nuo reminded them, "Everyone remember to dress up a bit, try to look more mature, so that we won't seem like kids without their parents."

Ever since he started doing advertisements, and the family's financial condition soared, Fang Guanghui stopped playing the money exchange game with Fang You, who could now legitimately save his own red envelope money. By the time New Year came around, he had loads of cash gifts in red envelopes.

Fang You had counted his savings before, and his physical piggy bank had around five thousand four hundred yuan in it.

Although his electronic account had also received quite a few red envelopes, the money in there had a transaction record, so it wasn't very convenient to use. It would be annoying to be questioned about it.

Money from the piggy bank felt less stressful to spend.

Fang You took out 200 yuan, then removed his glasses—in his mind, that was a disguise.

Next, the most important part, the "Deeply Hidden" mode, activated!

Just like that, Fang You arranged to meet Xia Nuo at the entrance of the residential area.

Before long, Fang You sensed someone approaching him from behind, and immediately turned around to greet the other person.

"Hello, You You, long time no see. I almost didn't recognize you!"

Who could the kid in front of him be, dressed in a flamboyant beach dress, wearing a sunhat and oversized sunglasses, and in flip-flops, with a woven basket slung over her shoulder, looking like she was about to go on vacation? It was hard to guess.

Ah, it was Nuo Nuo!

And she stood out too much!

Seeing this, Fang You hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly, "Are you going surfing?"

"You almost didn't recognize me, did you!"

Xia Nuo laughed and said, "How old do I look now? Don't I look like a 20-year-old big sister?"

Looking at her height of less than one meter forty, Fang You couldn't help but pat her on the head.

"Oh you, so disrespectfully casual, having no manners towards your elder sister!"

But, the style was indeed very different from before...

Xia Nuo invited Fang You to link arms with her, and they went to find Luo Xianyu together.

Ayu's outfit was slightly more normal compared to Xia Nuo—a princess-style puffy tulle skirt, like a Disney princess on the run.

But Ayu was also wearing sunglasses!

Clearly, the sunglasses Ayu wore were adult-sized, they were obviously too big for her face and kept slipping down when she spoke. She had to keep pushing them back up.

"Today, You You can't pretend to be a dad."

Luo Xianyu sighed, "Your outfit is too childlike, Ayu could be your mom."

"..."

At this moment, Xia Nuo enthusiastically greeted Luo Xianyu:

"Hi, bestie! You look so pretty today."

"Same to you. Are you bringing your little brother out to play?"

"Yes, this is my little brother. He's developed quite quickly, so he looks quite tall."

"Kids these days really do grow up fast."

Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu automatically entered into an adult-like bantering mode, "But he's very well-behaved and won't cause a fuss, you can rest assured!"

Thus, Fang You took the two childish kids by bus to Oakley Plaza, not far from home. Your next chapter is on M V L

The mall was only two stops away from the community bus stop and the shopping area wasn't that big, but for the kids, it was spacious enough to explore thoroughly!

"Let's go to Muji to shop!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

At that moment, Fang You slowed his pace, and Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu immediately came back to grab him.

"Little brother, don't run off, or the bad guys will take you away."

Luo Xianyu held Fang You's hand with a gentle and caring expression, "Come on, be a good boy and hold your sisters' hands. That way, you won't get lost."

"If you run off again, I'll spank you when we get back!"

Clearly, Xia Nuo was playing the role of a strict big sister!
