Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Why did you pull off my false eyelashes!"

"I told you there would be punishment if you didn't memorize it."

Fang You said, "You didn't even try your best, you totally disregarded what I told you, another level of crime."

"Give them back!"

Lin Mengran reached out to snatch the fake eyelashes from Fang You's hand, but Fang You remained motionless, his hand movements smooth like martial arts masters in the movies, flowing like a dragon and slithering like a snake.

Seeing that she couldn't beat Fang You, Lin Mengran's cheeks gradually grew warm.

"Give them back!"

"Memorize this first, then I'll give them back to you."

"You're forcing me to do this!"

Lin Mengran then went on a direct attack on Emperor Youyou, but as soon as she reached out, Fang You grabbed and twisted her arm, the great strength leaving her unable to move.

"You impolite brat... How dare you treat your sister this way, I'll show you—ow, that hurts..."

Lin Mengran deliberately made a shameful moan to attract attention, hoping to make Fang You let go, but the battle-hardened Emperor Youyou showed none of the bashfulness a teenage boy should have. He remained absolutely still, instead embarrassing Lin Mengran.

"Alright, alright... I'm wrong, I admit it, I'm sorry."

These kids not only grow up well, but they're also so strong...

I've been defeated by a primary schooler!

Fang You gradually released his hand, and Lin Mengran, caught off guard at the moment of release, attacked Fang You again, ending up being blocked by him once more. Fang You, with one hand, twisted Lin Mengran's arm again.

"You kid, you look so handsome and imposing, but you don't know how to be tender towards women at all."

Lin Mengran complained, "Are you this rough with Nuo Nuo too?"

"Of course not."

"So it's favoritism, you little guy."

"Because Nuo Nuo never does anything foolish."

Fang You answered calmly.

Fang You has a serious intolerance for foolishness.

This foolishness doesn't refer simply to IQ, but more importantly, it is reflected in emotional intelligence.

Sure, Nuo Nuo is mischievous, playful, naive, lively.

But she's definitely not foolish.

The time Fang You truly disliked Xia Nuo, or rather, felt annoyed by her, was only when she was around 0 to 2 years old—a baby who caused him trouble before he grew up.

But after that, Nuo Nuo had always been a great partner in growth.

If it weren't for his system enhancements, it would be hard to say if he could suppress Nuo Nuo like he does now.

Upon hearing Fang You's response, Lin Mengran's face also changed.

The remark touched a raw nerve for Lin Mengran. It started out partially playful and teasing, but after hearing those words, Lin Mengran suddenly became emotionally charged.

"You think I'm stupid, don't you? Fine... you're right, I'm a fool, a useless nobody..."

Lin Mengran suddenly spread her hands, her face assuming an indifferent expression.

"Never mind, I give up."

Lin Mengran's expression suddenly turned very cold, "I really can't put effort into something I have no interest in and no talent for."

Fang You didn't feel unsettled by Lin Mengran's sudden resignation, but instead observed her reaction and continued to press:

"Do you mean that if you do what you're interested in, you can work very hard?"

"Of course! How could I not work hard on the things I love, the things I'm good at?"

Lin Mengran declared firmly while slapping the table, "You've definitely never seen how hard I work when I practice the guitar and write songs! I simply have no talent for studying, my talent is all in music, you understand?"

She continued, "Working hard on something you have no talent for is just a waste of time."

"Does Uncle Xia not want to see you anymore either?" Fang You retorted.

"If I could debut as a new, super-popular band, I could ask to see my cousin-in-law with my head held high, and wouldn't need your help anymore!"

"Okay, I get what you mean." Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

Fang You handed the false eyelashes to Lin Mengran, "In that case, you don't have to study today."

"Today? I've said I don't want to continue studying at all anymore."

Lin Mengran said, "I'll go apologize to Nuo Nuo myself and won't give you any trouble."

Fang You shook his head, "First, take me to see your band's situation."

"See our band? What are you planning to do..."

"Nothing else, I just want to confirm whether you really work as hard on music as you claim."

Fang You said, "If you truly can commit yourself to music and achieve success, then I won't force you, as everyone's path in life is diverse, and studying may not be quite right for you."

[Lin Mengran didn't expect you to be so understanding, Emotional Energy +100]

Seemingly appreciating Fang You's enlightened approach to life, Lin Mengran quickly returned to her usual happy-go-lucky self:

"I'm not just working hard; I am also especially talented, okay?"

"Let me see that for myself."

Initially, Lin Mengran had planned not to continue the hassle with the kid, but hearing Fang You had taken an interest in her band, she instantly perked up, promptly contacting her bandmates to show Fang You a good look at her skill level.

Lin Mengran had her hunches about why Fang You showed interest in her band.

She took Fang You on a bus to the place where their band usually rehearsed, feeling a little curious herself.

"I remember Youyou were a music prodigy when you were little, right? I remember you were really good at playing the drum set and even won prizes at the Moe King competition..."

Lin Mengran said, "You played the drum set so well back then, clearly so talented, why didn't you continue to pursue it?"

Fang You replied, "For me, it's just a matter of whether or not I want to."

"Well, I think it's a waste of your talent, at least you seemed to like it back then."

The young Fang You did indeed somewhat enjoy playing the drum set, but if it weren't for that talent "Rhythmic Mastery," he definitely wouldn't have bothered learning to play the drums, for fear of wasting time.

As for his decision to go with Lin Mengran to see her band this time, it was not just a sudden whim, but rather a steady and resolute implementation of his cultivation plan:

This was a tactic that had appeared in "From the Bottom,"—Emotional Connection!

In the plot of "From the Bottom," not only did the teacher focus on the female lead's studies, but he also cared about her personal life, establishing trust and friendship between teacher and student. This emotional support was an important factor for her persistence.

In today's negotiations, Fang You also thought about his relationship with Lin Mengran.

So far, his relationship with Lin Mengran was solely based on an exchange of interests, without any genuine teacher-student affection. It was normal not to gain Lin Mengran's approval.

Fang You also reflected on some past experiences, realizing that what he was doing now was essentially treating Lin Mengran like his own student.

And he already had one student, that was Sister Meng Qing.

In the beginning, Meng Qing also had difficulty accepting that he was going to teach her. After a fight, she became much more obedient and now clung to him a lot, which was probably also a methodology.
