Chapter 6: 005 Does this also count as a Zhuazhou ceremony?
The company headquarters was nearby and easy to get to, so Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui discussed it and accepted the invitation.
Lin Yi also brought Xia Nuo along for some fun.
It\'s more interesting to join the bustle!
"Here, baby, look this way, look at the camera! Ah, so clever!"
"Next, we\'re going to start the screen test. Look here! Wiggle your butt! Good! Right, right, that\'s it!"
Fang You was not shy about appearing in public. These special experiments provided an opportunity for him to discover hidden talents.
But, to have him alone, wearing a diaper in front of so many people, even an adult\'s sense of pride would make it hard for him to let loose—
"This child looks so mature; he doesn\'t cry or make a fuss, like a little adult."
"Yes... It would be even more interesting if he could just smile."
Fang You is a cool boy.
Chen Xuan said to the director at the side, "My child is a bit shy..."
At this moment, Xia Nuo, who was down in the audience struggling in his mother Lin Yi\'s arms, desperately waved towards Fang You.
"Alright, Nuo Nuo, be good. Wait until You You finishes the shoot to play with him... Is that okay? Ah, my!"
The director noticed the commotion caused by Xia Nuo and was curious about her reaction.
"The baby down there seems to want to join in too. Why don\'t we let her come up and shoot together? Parent, are you interested?"
"Can we!" Lin Yi was also looking forward to Xia Nuo\'s performance and eagerly sent her up.
Now that Xia Nuo couldn\'t walk yet, she put on the diaper and used her usual move of sticking her butt up and crawling forward on her belly, cheerfully heading towards Fang You.
Hey, hey... don\'t come over here!
"Keep shooting, don\'t stop!" The director\'s elation was evident: This is exactly the effect I wanted.
Xia Nuo, with a beaming smile, held Fang You\'s hand and followed the rhythm of the music, making him sway with her.
The combination of an I-person and an E-person, Xia Nuo\'s joyful expression paired with Fang You\'s disdainful look, filled the entire shooting scene with a lively atmosphere.
[Bop bop bop~ la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la——]
[Sparrow Diapers]
[Elastic close-fitting bikini style]
[Instant absorption core, instantly dry]
[88 processes for all-around care]
[Specially developed for babies in China]
[The first step of a genius, Sparrow Diapers]
[Even daddy can change it!]
Xia Nuo led Fang You in hopping and jumping around, and finally gave a big rub on Fang You\'s cheek.
And this affectionate moment was captured on camera too.
Two months later, the Sparrow Food Group\'s advertisement was officially released!
Chen Xuan also pinned the video on her social media account, quickly attracting comments from some netizens.
[Such cute babies! So it was you guys who shot this ad!]
[OMG, what a golden boy and jade girl pair, these two have such great chemistry!]
[Post more, I love watching it!]
[I envy this kind of friendship that grows from childhood, I hope the blogger keeps updating]
[Is there an account for Nuo Bao, I\'m tired of watching the little You Zi, I want to see more of my girl!]
With the advertising campaign\'s boost, Fang You\'s followers skyrocketed every day and soon surpassed the ten thousand mark.
His system panel popped up:
[Congratulations on your followers exceeding ten thousand, you are rewarded with 100 Growth Energy points! Current Growth Energy (1720/1800)]
[Hidden Talent [Star of Tomorrow] unlocked: Charm Growth +1]
Charm Growth +1... probably means becoming more charming as the days go by, right?
He still couldn\'t see his attribute panel, so he didn\'t know if it would be unlocked later.
But then again, many child stars are cute when they are young.
As they grow up, their features mature, and often their looks and charm can\'t compare to before...
Having a guaranteed charm seems like a good thing, right?
Since Fang You started gaining some fame on social media, Chen Xuan and Fang Guanghui became even more passionate about sharing Fang You\'s daily life.
His eating show videos were very popular, with each one clicking past ten thousand views, and his comment section was always awaiting Fang You\'s mealtime.
His popularity was only second to the series of videos featuring his interactions with Xia Nuo.
In the following days, like a train, Fang You made guu guu eating sounds and quickly filled his Growth Energy.
[Congratulations! Growth level has been upgraded to level 5 (0/5000), achieving the Growth Goal [Walking]——]
[Walk 100 kilometers, unlock Talent: Aerobics Expert]
Phew... after crawling for so long, it\'s time to start walking!
Fang You needed to pursue two growth goals simultaneously!
If he wanted to walk more, he relied on his grandmother, who took care of him.
His grandmother liked to listen to plays, and she would always bring a radio with her when she took Fang You for walks on the dam.
Fang You followed his grandmother, listening to operas and taking a stroll, swinging his arms back and forth while clapping his hands.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto Fang You, making him feel warm and comfortable.
Entering the slow, retirement-like life early!
[You\'ve walked 0.0002 kilometers (3.1112/100.0000), you\'ve walked 0.0002 kilometers (3.1114/100.0000)]
[You are clapping along with the music (2801/10000), you are clapping along with the music (2802/10000)]
...
Time flew by swiftly.
Two months later, Fang You finally celebrated his first birthday!
A one-year-old baby, it\'s time for the Zhuazhou ceremony!
Due to the remarkable coincidence of being born on the exact same day and the close relationship between the mothers, Fang You and Xia Nuo\'s parents decided to hold the Zhuazhou ceremony together.
After completing many tedious proceedings, surrounded by the blessings of the elders, the two babies sat on a red circular carpet, dressed in bright red outfits and surrounded by various Zhuazhou items.
Fang You was making a choice—
Participating in the Zhuazhou event was definitely a great opportunity to unlock hidden talents.
The item grasped would likely be related to the talent ability unlocked.
The available Zhuazhou items included an exercise book, picture book, abacus, brush, ruler, microphone, rubber ball, toy fishing rod, keyboard, and stamp.
Hmm... which one should I choose?
After all, Zhuazhou is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the talent gained should be quite special.
Fang You was somewhat greedy.
He felt like grasping everything.
Though it\'s said that it\'s better to be skilled in one rather than jack-of-all-trades, having been reborn, he wanted to experience everything.
Meanwhile, Xia Nuo kept staring at Fang You\'s split pants.
She tilted her head and pointed curiously at Fang You\'s crotch:
"What\'s this thing here?"
Xia Nuo\'s tone sounded a bit aggrieved, "Why don\'t I have one?"
"Ah."
Fang You tugged at his pants, trying to hide his prominence.
However, Xia Nuo became impatient and reached out to grab it.
"Let me, let me see!"
Ah—
Fang You was caught by the handle by Xia Nuo and cried out loudly.
The adults saw this and couldn\'t stop laughing.
Some of the younger folks even started to tease on the spot:
"Nuo Nuo has started the Zhuazhou, she\'s grabbed it, grabbed it!"
Does this even count as Zhuazhou!
Xia Anyang really felt like throwing up!
He had memorized auspicious Zhuazhou phrases for so long, just so he could use them at this moment—
[May the baby who grasps a red envelope have a future soaring to great heights]
[May the baby who grasps a book enrich knowledge and develop talent]
And now, none of them could be used!
Three-aunt\'s little cousin, you little rascal, just wait for me to interrogate you about your love life and salary during the New Year!
Lin Yi was not as troubled as her husband; she found it very amusing and asked three-aunt\'s little cousin:
"Oh, dear cousin, what do you think this signifies?"
"Let me see... of course, it\'s about seizing the \'opportunity\' and looking forward to the future! Nuo Nuo is sure to have a bright future!"
"You can really talk with flair, being a college grad from a 211 university," said Lin Yi with a laugh.
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, cousin-in-law!" he replied with an embarrassed scratch of his head.
At that moment, a line of system text popped up in front of Fang You:
[Congratulations on completing the Zhuazhou ceremony! You\'ve been awarded 500 Growth Energy points! Current Growth Energy lv5 (1821/5000)]
[The hidden Talent [Bright Future] has been unlocked: Your \'thing\' is strengthened and will grow an extra 1cm over the next six months.]
?
Nuo Nuo\'s Zhuazhou counts for me?
With my potential for development, how could I possibly be lacking that 1cm?
Hmph, boring!
This little girl, actually hindering my grand future...
How detestable!
Wait until she grows up, I\'ll see how I teach her a lesson!
Some time after that, Fang You unintentionally found that while urinating, he could squirt significantly higher and farther than before.
Relatives and friends who witnessed this praised unanimously, saying that the child would surely achieve great things one day.
