When Xia Nuo's performance ended, the whole audience offered the most enthusiastic applause to this little girl brimming with vitality and energy.
Fang Guanghui couldn't stop bragging to the audience next to him, "Did you see? Our Nuo Nuo is so cute! So talented!"
"Is she your daughter?"
"No, she isn't."
"Great, another mad one."
Fang Guanghui grabbed the person's arm, "Hey hey, let me tell you, my son is her best friend!"
"She's so outstanding, you should make sure your son takes good care of her."
"Of course!"
"Wait... Your son is her best friend, so does that mean you are Fang You's father?"
"Ah, yes, that's right!"
Fang Guanghui was then drowned out by the sounds of other parents' envy.
Click, click, click...
This smug look is just too ridiculous, children are not your capital to show off.
If it were me, I wouldn't do this.
And don't flaunt my daughter's achievements, they are my daughter's, after all.
On the side, Xia Anyang was silently criticizing in his mind, when all of a sudden, Fang Guanghui clapped him on the shoulder, happily introducing to those around:
"As for Nuo Nuo's real dad, that's this handsome uncle here!"
"Wow! Nuo Nuo's dad! He has a star's face!"

"How on earth did you raise such an outstanding daughter? Can you teach us?"
"No, I haven't really taught Nuo Nuo much..."
Xia Anyang said with a smile, "Our Nuo Nuo is naturally this talented, I didn't teach her much."
"But Nuo Nuo is so adorable, it must have something to do with the home environment, right? You and your wife must have a very happy life."
"Well, that's true..."
"With loving parents as an example, a child living in happiness naturally turns out this adorable!"
In the audience, Xia Anyang also got lost in the praise from the other parents.
This feeling is more interesting than getting on the stage and winning a championship myself.
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Thank you, Nuo Nuo darling, for bringing us such a wonderful performance!"
Teacher Da Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Whether it's the vibrant dance or the light and cheerful song, both bring a breath of fresh air."
"Thank you!"
Xia Nuo wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was also very happy with her dance.
She is a child who truly enjoys being on stage.
At this moment, Teacher Gugu also approached, adhering to the principle of loving You You and Nuo, she had a good impression of this child who grew up with Fang You,
"Nuo Bao said this performance is a semi-original work, Gugu Sister is very curious, why call it semi-original?"
"Because this dance wasn't created by me alone."
In Xia Nuo's introduction, she mentioned a familiar name: "This is something You You and I came up with together!"
The show's host exhibited a shocked expression, and the judges also couldn't help but burst into applause.
"My goodness… You You even choreographs dances? How many skills does he have that we don't know about..."
"Yeah, he writes songs too!"
Xia Nuo had no qualms about letting everyone know just how talented You You was, "The song that I danced to was composed by You You and my dad together!"
Xia Nuo's statement once again focused everyone's attention below the stage on Fang You, who had already harvested a round of Emotional Energy to their shock.
"That's a bit too…"
"He can play drums, choreograph dances, and write songs; what can't this kid do? And he's not short either."
"Perhaps the dad did most of the composing, but You You is really incredible..."
Meanwhile, Fang You opened up the system panel, saw his continuously rising Emotional Energy, and revealed a satisfied smile.
Nuo Nuo, I just love you to death!
Never expected to help harvest another wave of Energy.
And this scope, this value, I believe even at the Yingdu Dome I could achieve the same effect!
"So it looks like, Nuo Nuo, you received a lot of help from You You in preparing for this performance?"
One of the judges suggested on stage, "Nuo Nuo, would you like to express your thanks to You You here?"
"No need, quack, we are helping each other!"
Xia Nuo said with a smile, "Because, you see, I also contributed to You You's program! I prepared the bowls for him! And, you know, that baton-twirling move at the end, that was my suggestion!"
In Xia Nuo's vivid description, she added many fun facts about the hard work the two little ones had put into the program, things Fang You would never mention, like their work on the dance's shake shake movement and such minute details.
Through Xia Nuo's depiction, the children's amusing interactions were as captivating as their performance, eliciting continuous applause.
Of course, what really touched the audience was the beautiful relationship between the two, with their total lack of reservation, mutual trust, and wholehearted support for each other.
"I can't take it anymore... I'm sure the reason I achieved nothing in my childhood is that I didn't start with such great friends."
"Can I restart my account now? I want to find a partner to join in; we can share photos privately."
"I didn't roll a genius childhood friend or a cute sweetheart at the start! That's why I failed."
Xia Nuo's performance ended, and the final composite score given was 99.27 points.
Although there was some gap between his score and Fang You's, he still left the other children far behind.
While continuing to compete for the title of strongest cute kid in major cities, Nuo Nuo's influence kept fermenting.
Unlike Fang You's display of a maxed-out kid's evolution, Xia Nuo's performance was more down-to-earth and spread wildly across all major social media platforms on the Chinese internet.
Almost within a few days, Xia Nuo's Shake Dance went viral across the web, with the videos accumulating over a hundred million hits, and famous video bloggers began to imitate it in droves, sparking a nationwide "Nuo Nuo Shake" imitation craze.
The followers of "Nuo Nuo Strawberry Jam" quickly soared from over 100,000 to over 500,000, and even Fang You benefited, with "Emperor Youyou's" followers climbing to 300,000.
"yo, yo, dong da yo!"
The internet's videos of the last few days all began with this catchy and brainwashing intro.
One has to admit, in this age of fast information dissemination, mastering the keys to internet traffic is not just talk; it can skyrocket one to fame.
However, even with his explosive popularity across the web, Xia Nuo wasn't affected by his high popularity and still happily went to kindergarten every day, playing with Fang You and Ayu.
At kindergarten, Xia Nuo and Fang You began to be treated like real little stars.
Everyone was vying for Xia Nuo and Fang You's autographs.
"Everyone gets one, but only one time, okay!"
Xia Nuo carefully penned his name in everyone's notebooks, stroke by stroke.
The results of the second round eventually came out, and Fang You and Xia Nuo ranked first and second by a landslide, securing their advancement to the third round of the "Strongest Cute Kid Show."
During the second round of the strongest cute kid selection, Xia Nuo and Fang You almost continuously dominated the headlines on all major social media platforms.
"It seems the Moe King of this session might just be one of these two kids."
"Choosing is so difficult... both are precious, how can I choose?"
Meanwhile, in Yun City's largest karate dojo, a little girl with braided hair was practicing karate with utmost concentration.
She moved like a darting rabbit, swift and agile, and in a moment, a high kick shattered three wooden boards.
"Ha!"
"Hah!"
With a stern and cool expression on her face, this 9-year-old girl looked as if she was striving for something with great effort!
Contrary to her austere style, her mother was swiping on her phone and sipping boba tea by the side.
As the girl came over to wipe off sweat and replenish her Energy drink, her mom handed her the phone.
"Pei Pei, have you seen this? This Nuo Nuo Shake is really hot right now. When we go to the finals in Yingdu, should we perform a martial arts dance too? Maybe it'll blow up like theirs, and we could win the championship too, huh?"
"Humph, boring."
The girl sharply rebuked her mother, "I, Yue Yipei, have been practicing karate since I was three years old, not to act cute on stage!"
"But these two kids are really amazing, smart and cute. Haven't you seen them?"
"I've seen them, but they're just two pampered kids, no match for me."
Gulping down water, Yue Yipei continued, "They might not even pass the third round."
The competition with the children was merely a friendly game.
Yes, for us city kids, the true test of the Strongest Cute Kid lies in the third round in the countryside and mountains, living independently.
Maxed-out kids, brothers and sisters, are essentially still children.
To become the Strongest Cute Kid, one must transcend the identity of a child and become a strong, independent adult.
And I, I've undergone it twice already.
I'm no longer a child.
And I won't be afraid anymore.
Determination beyond her years flickered across Yue Yipei's face.
Compared to other contestants, she was rich with experience.
From her experience, she knew that five-year-olds Fang You and Xia Nuo had no chance of passing.
Because, even she, at seven, did not break through the third round.
"Speaking of which, Pei Pei, the first time you participated in the third round, you wet the bed in the homestay and ended up retiring from the competition in tears, remember?"
"I don't remember."
Yue Yipei replied indifferently, "It didn't happen."
"You forgot? Mommy has saved the video from that time, let me find it for you—"
"I hate you, Mommy!"
The Century's Strongest! Genius martial arts girl Yue Yipei's defenses were broken by her mother!
