Because Xia Yuan's father bought her equipment and she practiced at home for a while, she was able to easily control her inline skates and skate smoothly in just three or two steps.
On the other hand, Lin Youxi seemed much more clumsy.
Because it was her first time playing today, she needed Mei Fang's support after taking two steps. She stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, she held onto Mei Fang and clung to his shoulders to avoid falling.
"You haven't even bought roller skates, and this is your first time, right? How can you skate so steadily?"
Lin Youxi complained, "No wonder you didn't come when we asked you to play together. Did you learn it secretly?"
Mei Fang smiled slightly and said, "This is the first time I've played this in my life."
It's not really a lie.
Xia Yuan skated around the square for a few laps and came back. Seeing Mei Fang still supporting Lin Youxi and stumbling forward step by step, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said:
"Mei Fang, let me take Lin Youxi for a skiing ride, you go play first!"
Lin Youxi was still concerned about Xia Yuan. "No, no, I'm afraid that if I fall, Xia Yuan, you won't be able to hold me back... It would be bad if you fall too."
Mei Fang frowned and asked, "What about me?"
"Mei Fang is thick-skinned and won't get hurt even if he falls."
"I, I'm fine. Look at all the equipment I have. I won't get hurt even if I fall."
Xia Yuan came over and held Lin Youxi's hand, "Would you like to skate with me? Let Mei Fang play by himself."
"Um… "
Seeing Xia Yuan so persistent, Lin Youxi nodded and held Xia Yuan's hand even tighter.
"I really can't skate, so you have to be careful."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm watching... woooo... wooooa ...
Lin Youxi stumbled and almost tripped Xia Yuan to the ground. Mei Fang, who was standing next to her, did not walk far away, but followed her and grabbed Lin Youxi's arm to keep her safe.
"See, I told you it's dangerous."
"You don't need to come. I only need Xia Yuan. I will be able to learn it quickly!"
Xia Yuan supported Lin Youxi and walked forward slowly step by step. The two of them slid back and forth several times on the south side of the square. Mei Fang did not follow them all the way, but watched them work hard from a distance.
They were having fun even without me, so why did they have to invite me along
Mei Fang further thought that if he had not gotten closer to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi in this life, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan might still be very close friends.
As for why Lin Youxi eventually became a cold and arrogant academic master who was always alone, it was probably because he lost his only friend Xia Yuan in that tragedy, and his heart became closed again.
Regarding Xia Yuan's impending crisis, Mei Fang also thought about finding a way to directly or indirectly intervene and understand Xia Yuan's father's business, but it was too difficult to put it into practice.
Before his rebirth, he was just an ordinary worker.
And apart from anything else, at Mei Fang's current age of 10, it is almost impossible for Xia Yuan's father to take his words seriously.
For him, the only thing he can do is to pay more attention and accompany him.
Such a desperate choice will always affect the loved ones around you to some extent.
Whether it is Xia Yuan or Xia Yuan's mother, Teacher Yu, Mei Fang is with them day and night. With such close attention, if something is really about to happen, he will always have the opportunity to discover the signs.
"Mei Fang, Mei Fang! Look!"
Mei Fang's thoughts were interrupted by Xia Yuan's shouting in the distance. When she waved vigorously, Lin Youxi no longer needed Xia Yuan's support, but began to slide forward alone.
Although her movements still seemed very unfamiliar, she looked at the ground, her hands shaking back and forth, and her body was still maintaining a delicate balance, but she was indeed moving forward.
Mei Fang stood opposite Lin Youxi, watching him slowly slide over. Finally, Lin Youxi couldn't hold on any longer, and when he was about to reach Mei Fang, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the cuff of his short-sleeved shirt.
"Huh..."
“It’s not easy.”
"This is the first time I've done this, it's already pretty impressive, okay?"
Lin Youxi retorted.
“It’s my first time skating today too.”
"Liar."
Mei Fang noticed it in advance because of his perspective, and his body subconsciously took action, pulling Lin Youxi back to his side. Because they were both wearing roller skates, they circled around each other like they were dancing.
The boy who almost hit the car also made an evasive move, but his braking skills were obviously not up to par. He stumbled to a stop as he turned sideways, half-knelt on the ground, and then propped himself up and stood up, muttering curses:
"Watch out! What are you blocking the road?"
The boy arrogantly lost his temper at Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. Of course, Lin Youxi was not a girl who was easy to talk to, so she lost her temper and said to the other party:
"You were the one who bumped into me first, and you still have the nerve to say that. You are so shameless!"
"If you weren't skating so slowly, there's no way I could have bumped into you... Can you newbies just stop playing in the square? It's really annoying."
The boy put his hands on his hips and cursed for a while, then his eyes fell on Mei Fang.
"By the way, why do you... seem a little familiar?"
The boy immediately reacted, "You are Mei Fang, right? I remember you, the one who wet the bed and washed her butt in front of everyone in kindergarten."
"… "
Mei Fang made a speechless expression, "Who are you? You got the wrong person. My name is not Mei Fang."
"Du Zihan? You are Du Zihan, right? Why are you still so annoying when you talk?"
Xia Yuan skated over to check the situation. She was very good at recognizing people and called out Du Zihan's name right away.
"Look, you still say you are not Mei Fang, and you are still flirting with Xia Yuan. Are you a boy? You hang out with girls every day. You have no shame."
"Even if I am Mei Fang..."
Mei Fang raised his head and said, "You almost bumped into Lin Youxi just now. You should apologize to her anyway."
"Ah? This woman is Lin Youxi?"
Du Zihan put on an expression of disbelief, looking left and right at Lin Youxi, "Oh my, that sloppy, snotty little troublemaker in kindergarten, I didn't expect she would look like this now, girls really change a lot when they grow up..."
Du Zihan's sarcastic voice made people's blood pressure rise. Lin Youxi was about to use violence, but Mei Fang did not give her the opportunity and stood in front of Lin Youxi.
"Du Zihan, if you're rude to Lin Youxi again, I'll be rude to you."
Du Zihan's face flushed red, and he looked furious as if he was about to hit Mei Fang, but when he noticed that Mei Fang was half a head taller than him, he suddenly remembered the fear he once felt when Mei Fang pressed his head down.
"You just love to hang out with women. You don't have any masculinity at all. I won't bother with a sissy like you."
Du Zihan continued, "After all, noobs shouldn't skate in the square. Can't you practice on the side?"
"If you want to speed skate, go to the roller skating rink. The Cultural Square is a place for everyone to have fun together. Why can't you practice here?"
Xia Yuan helped to reason with him, "Du Zihan, you are already in the fourth grade of elementary school. Can you please stop being so overbearing like in kindergarten? The square is not owned by your family."
"Who told you I'm in the fourth grade!" Du Zihan said proudly, "I was held back a grade, and I'm only in the third grade now. You didn't expect that, did you? You bitch."
"you… "
Xia Yuan was so angry at Du Zihan that she was speechless. She had become very strong and couldn't help crying this time, "Why do you always curse at me..."
Mei Fang was not a brave and aggressive person by nature, but this naughty kid deserved a beating and Xia Yuan was about to be scolded and cried, so it would be unreasonable not to teach him a lesson.
"Hey, Du Zihan, since you think I'm awesome, let's have a competition."
Mei Fang said seriously, "If I win, you have to admit that you are a loser and apologize to Lin Youxi."
"I'd love to! If I win, you have to call me daddy every time you see me. How about that?"
"What was it you wanted to call me? I didn't hear it clearly. Mom or—"
"dad!"
"Hey—good boy!"
Mei Fang successfully made Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan laugh. Du Zihan's face turned pale and blue, and he also experienced the feeling of his blood pressure rising.
"Mei Fang, you are dead today!"
