Chapter 13: 012 I have very few friends
Hearing Haoge's shouting, Wang Zihan was so surprised his jaw dropped.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Haoge of all people, how could he possibly understand such profound knowledge?
Wang Zihan followed Haoge's gaze and saw the children on the blue team under Fang You's direction, taking cups to the water dispenser to fill them.
He saw Fang You pour water from the cups into the glass tube, and the rainbow bottle inside started to float up a bit.
Seeing this scene, the children on the blue team immediately began jumping excitedly:
"Wow, it's true!"
"So awesome!"
"You You is really incredible!"
Damn it! I was a step behind!
Seeing Fang You become so popular, Wang Zihan clenched his little fists with envy.
"Nuo Nuo and Xuan Xuan go fetch water, An Qi and Fan Fan pass the water, and Ayu and I will be in charge of pouring it."
Fang You calmly directed the children on the blue team to work in an assembly line fashion.
The children had seen Fang You's brilliance before, and with Xia Nuo and Du Anqi taking the lead to cooperate, they also followed Fang You's arrangements.
Seeing that the team next door had started to get busy, Wang Zihan quickly clapped his hands to signal everyone:
"They are faster than us, we can't let them succeed!"
"Haoge, go stop them!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
Haoge and the fiery little Fist Fan Fan rushed over with excitement.
They competed to reach the water dispenser and get water, disrupting the blue team's progress.
Like this, the red team also caught up a bit with their water-pouring speed.
I can't lose to You You!
With a conviction of not losing, Wang Zihan poured water more and more vigorously.
"It's coming out, it's coming out!"
The water column in the glass tube had risen to half its height.
Just when everyone thought the rainbow bottle was almost within reach, the glass tube started to leak water.
No matter how much the children poured in, the water would spill out from the sides, and in the end, it settled back to the same height.
Huh?
What's happening?
Wang Zihan thought of a method:
"We need to pour water in even faster, as long as it's quicker than the leaking, we can get the rainbow bottle! Hurry, even quicker!"
"I, I can't pour that fast."
The helping girl started to cry in frustration.
"Quick, call Haoge and Fan Fan back to help!"
The two little boys were pulled back by Wang Zihan to assist.
But even with more help, the water kept leaking from both sides.
The rainbow bottle could never rise to the top of the bottle.
How, how can this be!
My dad never taught me this...
"Wang Zihan, do you even know how to do it?"
The competitive Asai Reina was very anxious, constantly observing the progress of the blue team next door.
Their water column had already risen above the halfway point.
Asai Reina began to wonder, "How come theirs doesn't leak?"
Finally, the blue team filled their glass tube with water, and the rainbow bottle floated up.
Ayu stretched on his tiptoes and reached out his hand to grab the rainbow bottle!
"Yay!"
The children on the blue team held hands and celebrated their victory, while the children on the red team were still struggling to fill their tube with water.
Jiang Tianbao commented from the sidelines, "The tense and exciting competition is over... Let's congratulate the children of the blue team—"
"Wait, it's not over yet!"
Zhang Na stopped Jiang Tianbao, "You You, it seems you still have something you want to do?"
Fang You didn't join the blue team's celebration.
He walked over to the red team's station, picked up the tape from the table, and demonstrated to the red team children the secret to their glass tube not leaking:
"You see, there are two small holes in the middle of the glass tube, if you cover them with waterproof tape, the water won't spill out."
"So that's how it is..."
Unable to help herself, Asai Reina looked at Fang You with eyes full of admiration.
No, that's not right...
I said I wasn't going to be on good terms with him anymore.
Why am I...
"However, there's an even simpler method, you can block it with your hands as well," Fang You explained.
"Really?" Asai Reina listened with her ears perked up.
"Look, you stretch your hand like this..."
Fang You showed Asai Reina how to use her fingers to block the small holes in the glass tube and then started to pour water into it.
"Look, isn't it not leaking anymore?"
"Yay, it worked, it worked!"
"Here, I'll hold it for you while you go get the rainbow bottle."
The moment Asai Reina retrieved the rainbow bottle, she jumped up happily.
"Thank you, You You, you're so smart!"
It turns out, he didn't dislike me that much after all.
Asai Reina's dissatisfaction with Fang You from the morning was forgotten in the blink of an eye.
Kids' emotions are always like this, quick to come and quick to go.
All three teachers gave great affirmation to Fang You's performance:
"Little friend Fang You not only led his team to complete the experiment but also helped other teams achieve their goal, sharing his knowledge and experience!"
"What loving parents he must have, to raise such a kind child..."
At that moment, Wang Zihan was staring blankly, watching Asai Reina gaze at Fang You with admiration on her face.
He was in a daze, not knowing what he should do or where he should go.
He felt as if he had lost something.
But also as if he hadn't.
Meanwhile, the director of "Falling in Love with Kindergarten" was instructing the cameraman to adjust the angle, eagerly capturing the heart-wrenching moments of these human cubs.
"Zoom in for a close-up!"
"Get closer!"
Show efficiency, show efficiency!
If this were a show for adults, there surely would be comments saying:
[Stop filming, stop filming]
[What era is this, still shooting such melodramatic scenes]
[Bro, delete it, my friend felt a bit uncomfortable watching it, of course, I mean not me haha]
But these are kids!
The feelings between children are very pure!
The audience watching would only find it amusing and feel pity, they still care a lot about the kids.
Over the next three months, Fang You would come every week to participate in the filming of "Falling in Love with Kindergarten."
Because of his smart mind and mature, calm personality, Fang You always stood out in every recording of the show.
The kids all wanted to be on his team.
Fighting to sit next to him.
During these days, Fang You also gradually made a few friendships.
Slowly, children began to take the initiative to show goodwill toward Fang You.
One day, after filming was complete, Du Anqi called Fang You over and whispered to him.
"You You, little brother, I want to ask you... can we become good friends?"
"Sure."
Fang You, who couldn't have wished for more, extended his hand to Du Anqi, "Then from now on, we are good friends!"
"Yep, shake hands, and we're good friends."
As Du Anqi spoke, she grabbed Fang You's hand.
And held it tightly.
Ah, what a cute little brother!
If only mom could have given me such a well-behaved little brother too!
[You and Du Anqi have become friends, current number of new friends (1/4)]
"I, I also want to be good friends with You You!"
Wang Xuanxuan had always been Fang You's little sidekick; he was the most enthusiastic one offering Fang You food.
Soon, he also put in a request to become friends with Fang You.
[You and Wang Xuanxuan have become friends, current number of new friends (2/4)]
In the end, Xia Nuo, pushing Luo Xianyu, came in front of Fang You—
She had promised Fang You to introduce him to new good friends!
"Okay, okay, Ayu, don't be scared, come and become good friends with You You too!"
Under Xia Nuo's guidance, Luo Xianyu extended his little finger and twined it around Fang You's outstretched finger.
The thumbs touching each other.
"There, there, the stamp is set, now the three of us are all good friends!"
Xia Nuo, holding Fang You and Luo Xianyu's hands, was jumping up and down.
[You and Luo Xianyu have become friends, current number of new friends (3/4)]
Great, just keep up this momentum, and four friends will be made in no time!
However, after so long, only three new friends were made.
And one of them was a friend given by Nuo Nuo.
I have too few friends!
Meanwhile, Asai Reina was also secretly watching Fang You's friendships develop.
Ling Nai saw everything!
Ling Nai, too, wants to be friends with You You...
Asai Reina was thinking about ways to get closer to Fang You.
