Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 198 170, second only to You You's dad

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Luo Xianyu had made a mistake and quickly lowered her head to apologize to the other party.

The woman whose dress was stained by the ice cream immediately clutched her dress, her calm expression suddenly turning very twisted.

"Oh, my God, look at what you've done! I can't believe you've left such a filthy, greasy mark on my beautiful dress!"

"Honey... Look, look!"

The woman ran to her companion, aggrieved, and pounded his chest with her little fists.

The man was tall, dressed in hip-hop fashion with baggy T-shirts and long pants, big gold chains, and various silver rings and tattoos, looking like a real cool dude.

Seeing his girlfriend upset, he immediately embraced her.

"Honey, who has made you suffer so much... My God, someone dared to stain the pretty dress I bought for darling with a month's salary, by the name of God, I swear I must kick her ass hard with my boot!"

"Look, it's that child!"

"Ah, such a small child, she didn't do it on purpose, let's just forget it, honey."

"What, a child? Can children escape responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, the woman became annoyed and pointed to the cool dude's nose, scolding:

"Are you thinking that child is cuter than me, don't you love me anymore?"

"How could that be? Honey, after so many tests of my feelings for you, don't you still understand?"

As he spoke, the cool dude started to stick up for his girlfriend, "You little brat, are you jealous of my girlfriend's pretty dress, so you did such a bad thing?"

"Wuu—"

Seeing the exaggeratedly dressed, fierce person in front of her, Luo Xianyu was so scared she couldn't even speak.

Trembling, she was suddenly embraced from behind.

Father Luo had arrived.

His reaction at this moment was almost instinctual—

He first put his arm around Ayu's shoulder, sheltering her behind him.

Then, his expression toward the young couple softened considerably, as he repeatedly apologized to them:

"I'm sorry, really sorry... My daughter stained your dress, it wasn't intentional, sorry, ha."

"Sorry? Do you think it's over just by saying sorry!"

The cool dude, who had already felt that bullying a little girl wasn't very meaningful, saw that an adult had come forward, and he suddenly felt emboldened to lash out—

He grabbed Father Luo's collar and yelled loudly:

"Do you know how expensive my girl's dress is? This took up an entire month's salary! We've come to Fairy Flower Theme Park, just so my darling could take photos in this beautiful dress."

Luo Xianyu, terrified by the ferocious look of the cool dude, held her father's arm with her head down, not daring to look up. Perhaps sensing his daughter's unease about doing something wrong, Father Luo touched her head and held her even tighter under him before pushing away the cool dude's arm.

"Then, may I ask how much would be required? I will compensate you."

The cool dude and his savvy girlfriend looked at each other, and she immediately stretched out five fingers and said, "Five, five thousand! We can't let you off without five thousand."

"You only got your skirts dirty. Don't overstep your bounds," said the two-meter-tall man sternly, "Don't embarrass yourselves in front of children and let them think that the adults of this world are so disgusting. If you've understood what I said, then hurry up and leave."

"Sor-, sorry!"

After being set down by the man, the burly brother quickly dragged his drama queen girlfriend away.

Seeing that a champion of justice had suddenly lent a hand, Fish Daddy also felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"Ah, thank you for the help, I really appreciate that you spared my child from witnessing that unpleasant scene."

Fish Daddy gripped the large hand of the other man tightly, his words full of gratitude, "I really don't know how to thank you enough."

The oddly-dressed man looked at Fish Daddy in front of him and seemed, for a moment, hesitant, losing the assertiveness he had shown earlier.

"Could I perhaps have your autograph?"

"An autograph?!"

This perplexed not only Fish Daddy but even Fang You and the other kids.

"Ah... you want my autograph?"

The man nodded slightly, his demeanor becoming even more respectful, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the renowned marine biologist, Professor Luo Si, right?"

"You... you actually recognize me?"

"It's really him in person."

The man quickly took up a stance of respectful attention and immediately began introducing himself.

"My name is Long Jia, an avid marine biology enthusiast and your loyal fan. I learned so much from the latest paper about polar marine life evolution you published in the journal, and... the new species you recently discovered, the 'Iris Sea Star' — I really love that name. It so aptly captures the starfish's iris-like beauty."

"Ah... that, well—there was a bit of personal interest in that. It was inspired by my daughter's favorite..."

"Fish Daddy is amazing! You even have fans!"

Xia Nuo whispered to Luo Xianyu at the side, "How come he never mentioned these things to us before?"

"Right, right. He never told Ayu about these things..."

The starfish gift had such a special meaning! It seems that Daddy really does care about me...

Meanwhile, the enthusiastic fan Long Jia continued to vividly recount the glorious deeds Fish Daddy had participated in:

"Professor Luo Si is the scholar I respect the most. He has not only reached the very southern tip of the world but has also dived in the Mariana Trench with his team, engaging in deep-sea work at depths of 10,000 meters. He's the bravest and most incredible professor I've ever known..."

Listening to Long Jia's lavish praise of his own father, Ayu also felt somewhat dazed.

My father... turns out to be much more amazing than I thought!

"How about that, Fish Daddy is pretty incredible, isn't he?"

Xia Nuo came over to remind Ayu at that moment, "It seems that Ayu's daddy is the most impressive of all."

"It's alright... Compared to Youyou, he's still far behind," Luo Xianyu thought back to how Fang You bravely stepped forward to protect her, feeling a wave of warmth in her heart.

"But, at least now he's become... second only to Daddy Youyou!"
