Becoming a life winner from infancy

After revealing her feelings, Asai Reina finally let go of her insecurities. She was no longer as reserved as before and didn't intentionally keep her distance from Fang You; instead, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

"You You, is that a Paru device you're playing with? It's my first time seeing a shiny gold Paru device, it's so cool!"

"Do you play this too?"

"Of course, I do! I'm a diehard fan of the Paru device; I've been playing since the first generation."

After all, You You was the endorser of the first generation, how could Ling Nai not support You You!

Asai Reina had collected all sorts of promotional materials featuring Fang You from the first generation's Paru device.

That evil girl covered up Nuo Nuo entirely, replacing it with her own avatar sticker!

Thinking about what she had done, she felt it was too mean, too sinister!

She decided that this was something Nuo Nuo and You You must never know, and if a second person learned of it, she'd make sure they could never speak again!

Meanwhile, Fang You was also curious about the situation in Yingdu, "How well is this game selling in Yingdu, and do many classmates play it?"

"So many, so many!"

Asai Reina nodded, "There's not a single boy in our class who doesn't play it, and more than half the girls play too. Our schools even have clubs dedicated to studying Paru, and the city often holds Paru tournaments..."

The children of Yingdu admired the summer culture of observing and recording insects; the Paru game was also a replica of the Pokémon from the past world, which made such collecting and battling games catch fire in Yingdu very easily.

As she spoke, she got excited, "You You, next time you come to Yingdu, you've got to see the Dark Priest Meow that Ling Nai is raising. I've collected all the skins of Dark Priest Meow, they're super pretty."

"Eh... why didn't you bring your Paru device? What a pity."

Xia Nuo leaned toward Ling Nai and said, "Ling Nai, Ling Nai, let me show you my Sky Feather Dragon, it's super awesome!"

"Hmph... stop bluffing, how could you possibly have such an impressive Paru! That's a Quasi-god, isn't it?"

"Here, take a look—"

Xia Nuo happily shared her Paru pet from her Paru device with Ling Nai.

"Wow, it really is a Sky Feather Dragon! And it's the Star-guardian Sky Feather Dragon! That's even rarer than a legendary beast, isn't it?"

"Really? But I can't even beat You You's Gugu Chicken..."

"It's normal to not be able to beat You You's Gugu Chicken. After all... after all... it's You You's!"

Asai Reina couldn't think of any other compliments, so...

Anyway, praising You You was the right thing to do!

At that moment, Xia Nuo remembered something else and said, "Oh right, You You also has an ultra-powerful Thunder Emperor Jex, I'll ask him to show you."

"Is it the new legendary beast? You You caught it so soon!"

"We caught it together!"

Xia Nuo stood proudly with her hands on her hips, "We also discovered this cabin on the day we were hunting for legendary beasts."

"Damn it... How come you guys have so many fun memories, and Ling Nai doesn't have any!"

"Right, right, you're jealous, aren't you!"

Seeing Asai Reina's frustrated expression when she bit her lip, Xia Nuo also seemed to be in a very pleasant mood: "Right, right, that's the Ling Nai I know. A Ling Nai like this, Nuo Nuo and I really, really like!"

It seemed that Nuo Nuo indeed possessed a bit of a Joyous Man temperament...

Just then, Luo Xianyu suddenly interrupted everyone's teasing of Ling Nai, "Um... the construction task for today is finished, right? When are we going back? Ayu is about to get bitten to death; there are so many bugs here, Daddy look..."

Luo Xianyu showed Fang You the red bumps on his arm with a pitiful look.

"Oh, there really are."

"Daddy, scratch it for me."

Scratch, scratch.

[You are scratching Luo Xianyu's itch, Joy Experience +2, Joy Experience +2]

"And also, it's all over my legs too."

[You are scratching Luo Xianyu's itch, Joy Experience +2, Joy Experience +2]

"And on top of my drum skin..."

Fang You tightened Luo Xianyu's pants, "Okay, okay, no need to show me, I can't scratch all those bumps. There really are a lot of bugs here, should we head back then?"

"Eh, we're going back now? We finally got a new member at our secret base, let's stay a bit longer, plus Ling Nai is going home tomorrow."

Xia Nuo sat swinging her legs on a chair, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"

...

Watching Xia Nuo stretch lazily with an innocent expression, Asai Reina hesitated in her heart.

Truth be told...

Ling Nai hadn't had enough fun either!

But just when...

Fang You also asked, "Ling Nai, do you want to stay in Mei City a few more days... You brought your homework, right? Might as well spend the summer holidays here, wouldn't that be fine?"

Asai Reina licked her lips, her face about to burst into a smile that she could hardly contain.

"Okay, fine then, since You You says so... Ling Nai will try to convince Mom and Dad."

She thought for a moment and then put on an understanding face, and she began to act coquettishly, "But, you know, Ling Nai can't always bother Nuo Nuo's family; it will trouble Nuo Nuo's parents."

Xia Nuo shook her head, "It won't be trouble at all. You just need to do household chores at my house to make up for it, and you can also help massage my shoulders and beat my legs."

"Who, who's going to be your maid during the summer holidays!"

"If you won't be my maid, then you'll have to sleep in this wooden cabin."

"Ah—Ling Nai doesn't want that." Asai Reina made a disgusted face.

"This cabin is as drafty as your teeth, and at night, there are sounds of ghosts wailing—wahoo—awoo—"
