This weekend, Mei Fang had an appointment to watch Xia Yuan's performance, but before that he and Lin Youxi went to the arcade to play games.
In 2005, arcade halls charged 6 coins for 1 dollar, and all games could be played for only 1 coin. Of course, there were no arcade machines with driving cars, motorcycles, or shooting guns, only joystick machines.
Lin Youxi had a rare opportunity to invite Mei Fang to play games, and she wanted to have fun with this basket of coins. Before playing on each machine, she would drag Mei Fang to watch others play, and only after understanding the operations would she decide to play.
Because the games in the arcade, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Legend of the Evil", "Dinosaur Fighter" and "Devouring the World" are all games that Mei Fang is very familiar with, so every time Lin Youxi died in the first few levels, Mei Fang's health was still maintained very well.
However, after Lin Youxi died, he did not renew his coins. Instead, he sat next to Mei Fang and watched him play. He did not play on another machine until Mei Fang died.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at this! You are amazing."
"I have a simulator on my computer that you can play with. I told you before that you can practice at my house next time."
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Youxi dragged Mei Fang to play in the arcade for a while, but finally ran out because they couldn't stand the smoke-filled environment.
"Huh... cough cough cough, it smells really bad in there."
"I warned you before, so it's still more fun at my house, right?"
"No! I think arcades are good too."
Lin Youxi stretched out his arms and said, "The main thing is that we can sit together and play. The joystick operation is much more comfortable than squeezing on the keyboard."
But then she sighed, "But these kinds of arcade machines don't make much money, and they will probably be replaced by computer games in the future."
"That's true..."
"By the way, Mei Fang, I saw that the computer tools you used to brush escorts were very convenient. Was that made by the 'hair-tying' skill you learned?"
“They are all programming languages, you can understand it this way…”
"Then can I try to learn it later?"
Lin Youxi said, "I am somewhat interested in those code books you usually read, and I also want to try to learn them."
"Of course you can, but you can only watch it outside of class, right?" Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, "You can't let your grades drop."
Lin Youxi trotted forward, then lowered his eyelids and made a face at Mei Fang.
"You're so long-winded. You care more than my dad does."
"Hey! You damn girl, I just finished having fun with you and you're already being rude and refusing to acknowledge what you did, right?"
"Let's have a competition. Those who arrive late at Xia Yuan's house will have to treat everyone to potato chips!"
Lin Youxi ran towards the direction of Mei Fang and Xia Yuan's residential area. Mei Fang had no intention of chasing after her. She just strolled slowly and bought three small portions of fried potato chips from a stall they passed by.
Fried potato chips are a specialty snack in Baimei County. Sliced potatoes are fried in oil until cooked but not crispy. After being removed from the pan, they are drizzled with a special oil sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander. Fried foods that go well with these potato chips include stinky tofu, and fried skewers such as radish balls, lotus root dumplings, and ham. A bowl full of these is cheap small town happiness.
If it were the Xia Yuan of the past, she would not try these "junk foods" even if her parents were not at home.
Now, when Xia Yuan saw Mei Fang appear at the door with potato chips, he immediately ran out happily to greet Mei Fang.
"As expected of you, Mei Fang. I knew you wouldn't forget it!"
Xia Yuan took the bag from Mei Fang and said, "I can't go out recently and can't eat this. I'm so greedy."
"Hey, don't grab it. I've bought enough. Just be careful."
The two of them entered the house one after the other. Lin Youxi had already poured Xia Yuan's drinks in the living room. The three of them were happily eating potato chips in the living room. Lin Youxi also told Xia Yuan about his adventure in the arcade with Mei Fang.
Xia Yuan was very interested in the kind of arcade game that Lin Youxi described, which could be played by four people.
"Wait for me. Once I can move freely, I will go with you! It seems that the three of us have never played a game together!"
"That place smells terrible. Lin Youxi and I couldn't stand the smell and ran away."
Mei Fang pulled Xia Yuan by the collar and said, "Smell it. Do I still have—"
Sniff, sniff.
Xia Yuan took the initiative to move forward and smell it. Because he was so close, Mei Fang felt a little embarrassed. After stepping back a little, Xia Yuan still chased after him to smell it.
"It's just a little bit, it's okay haha."
"Uh, I can't eat much either..." Lin Youxi had just drunk a big glass of juice and her stomach was a little bloated.
"Well, then give it to Mei Fang. He bought it, so he should be responsible for finishing it!"
"I can't eat so much, can I?"
Mei Fang thought that these two girls didn’t normally have such small appetites, right
"Well, then you should at least finish my portion!" Xia Yuan handed the bowl to Mei Fang, "I'll treat you to a little bit, classmate Mei Fang. It would be such a waste if there were too much left!"
"How dare you say that..."
Next time remember to only buy two bowls.
Mei Fang ate some of Xia Yuan's potato chips. Lin Youxi, who was standing by, looked at Mei Fang eagerly. While Xia Yuan was squatting under the TV playing a disc on the DVD player, he sneaked over and put all the potato chips into Mei Fang's bowl, just like he usually did when they had meals at Mei Fang's house.
Mei Fang was about to complain, but Lin Youxi deliberately made a hushing gesture and pointed at Xia Yuan, as if she didn't want to make Xia Yuan unhappy.
Your flattering attitude is too...
Mei Fang sighed and ate three small bowls with tears in her eyes.
The dance "Curly Eyelashes" that Xia Yuan wanted to learn had some of the elements of early home dance. The rhythm was simple and brisk, and the movements and postures were not complicated. Mei Fang could remember some of the movements just after watching it once.
"Ahem, I'm going to dance along with you next time."
Xia Yuan stood between the TV and the coffee table, standing very straight and at attention. "I haven't practiced for a long time, so please don't laugh if I don't dance well."
"No, at most I'll just laugh a few times in my heart."
This was a teasing that only Mei Fang would dare to make. Xia Yuan rolled his eyes at Mei Fang in annoyance, then asked Lin Youxi to help play the music again, and the music began to play.
As a little princess who was pampered by those around her, Xia Yuan has attended calligraphy classes, dance classes, art classes and piano classes since she was a child.
Although Xia Yuan has stopped these classes now, the foundation he has cultivated is very strong. In addition, Xia Yuan has always worked hard to meet the expectations of others. Therefore, when Xia Yuan showed himself in front of Lin Youxi and Mei Fian, he gave them a special feeling of brightening their eyes as soon as he twisted his body.
[My heart is pounding]
[Soul is about to leave the body]
[This feels so good]
Lift your legs and jump, squat with your hips sideways, bend over and hold up your thighs to act cute, and turn your arms.
The song itself is sweet and lovely, and paired with the sweet and lovely Xiao Xia Yuan, it is a perfect match.
In order to give a better performance effect, she specially changed into a pleated miniskirt and a high ponytail, and her image looked a bit like a child star idol.
After the dance, Xia Yuan maintained the final posture of putting her hands on her hips and asked Mei Fang and Lin Youxi with a smile.
"How about it?"
Just as Mei Fang was about to speak, Lin Youxi beside him clapped his hands unconsciously.
"Xia Yuan, you dance so well! Just like the little star on TV."
"Hmm... Lin Youxi, stop making fun of me! Oh, by the way... This dance is very simple, you can learn it right away!"
"I, I can't do it... I can't do it... My limbs are not coordinated, and I'm not as flexible as you..."
"Lin Youxi, you have such long legs, you will definitely look better than me in this dance! If we were not in the same class, I would definitely ask you to dance with me."
"I... I don't have clothes as nice as yours."
"It's okay... just come to my room and you can choose any of my clothes or skirts!"
Xia Yuan pulled Lin Youxi and whispered, "Lin Youxi, let's scare Mei Fang!"
I will post the B station link of this dance at the corresponding location later for everyone to experience!
