For these young children living in Baimei County, they may never understand what a happy time the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school is for them.
Because this is actually their last chance to spend a complete summer vacation during their middle school years until they graduate from high school.
When they reach the second year of junior high school, everyone will start to attend various remedial classes and special classes organized by the class teacher or the school.
Junior high school is actually a period when students are most differentiated. Because of the limited teaching staff in small counties, students in the middle and lower levels are those that teachers do not have the energy to discipline and are difficult to discipline. Generally speaking, teachers will recommend those students with middle and upper grades to participate in such remedial classes, while students with lower grades are more often left to fend for themselves.
Under this influence of increase and decrease, it is a foregone conclusion that those who study well will study harder, while those with poor grades will continue to sink and degenerate.
The year between the first and second year of junior high school is the most precious transformation period for every student, because if poor students want to climb out of their circle and join the ranks of top students, they also need to break free from the constraints of their original circle and regain the trust of their teachers. This age is the most rebellious age and the age that most needs recognition from the circle, so the pressure can be imagined.
So Mei Fang would be very glad that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi survived their first year of middle school.
Needless to say, Youxi has undergone tremendous changes in this year. She became class monitor, said no to Yuanyuan, and reconciled with her father. Every accumulation has become a solid foundation for her to step onto the long steps to become a god.
In addition, under the subtle influence of Mei Fang, Youxi has also developed two skills, cooking and coding, at a young age. Now she can handle the maintenance of Station C on her own.
Now this site can upload and play some videos, and barrages can be sent normally. However, it is a small server built with a virtual machine after all, and the upload speed is so slow that Mei Fang once wanted to give up continuing to work on it. It is too difficult without the manpower and material resources.
However, because Youxi had invested a lot of emotion in this website and was always thinking about how to solve and optimize problems, Mei Fang let her continue to tinker with it, just for fun.
Maybe when BKCoin becomes popular or the games make money, they can hire some people to help Lin Youxi run C Station. According to Mei Fang's idea, Lin Youxi will definitely not be just the boss of the technical department.
As for Yuanyuan, her growth was also fast. Leaving her comfort zone for the first time, facing a completely unfamiliar environment and a sudden increase in academic pressure, Xia Yuan did not give in. With a strong sense of self-esteem and competitiveness, she worked hard on math problems in order to catch up with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, and finally caught up steadily in the second half of the school year.
Yuanyuan encountered the choice between friends and childhood sweethearts for the first time in her daily interactions. As an extrovert, she did not understand the boundaries of her circle, but her cherishment of Mei Fang and Lin Youxi also made her accept Lin Youxi's ideas and not let Peng Xue get involved in their friendship.
Mei Fang did not deliberately cultivate Xia Yuan's skills, because she was already versatile since she was a child. Now it seems that she likes music, and with her good voice, appearance and temperament, she may be more suitable for a career like a singer, but to be honest, Mei Fang is a little reluctant. The domestic entertainment industry is not something that someone like him can get involved in. Yuan Yuan's current personality is even more naive, and she might be cheated if she enters. He still has to find a way to keep her by his side to feel at ease.
Under the influence of Mei Fang, Yuanyuan and Youxi both showed great enthusiasm for the game, which is a point that Mei Fang needs to grasp in the future.
When Mei Fang was in the third year of junior high school, it was 2010. At this time, the U3D development engine would officially launch a version that supported the Android platform, and the mobile game craze would begin. I, Mei Fang, was a reborn son who changed his fate against all odds, so I had to prepare early. I couldn't be like other kids who indulged in playing games all day, eating, drinking and having fun.
Then Mei Fang was dragged by Xia Yuan to the roller skating rink to have fun roller skating.
Children of their age in Baimei County all like roller skating very much, because people who play roller skating are very cool, the venues are not expensive, and they can play for a whole day for 10 yuan.
Unlike the ceramic floor tiles in the square, the roller skating rink has wooden high and low platforms where everyone can skate together at high speed in circles. This indoor roller skating rink also plays dynamic music and cool neon lights, giving it a trendy feel that Mei Fang thinks is very tacky.
"Ah Fang, what are you thinking about standing there? I bought you some sausages, do you want to eat them now?"
"If not while it's hot, when else can we eat it?"
Mei Fang was about to reach out to take it, but the naughty Xia Yuan took it away again. She hummed and said:
"Then open your mouth and let me feed you."
"Give it to me, I'll do it myself."
"I'll give it to you if you catch up with me! Unless you let me feed you."
"Hey... it's dangerous for you to pick up things while wearing roller skates!"
Mei Fang had very good roller skating skills in his previous life, and he retained this ability after his rebirth. It became even more prominent after the ability was added to his 13-year-old body. He skated a few times before he grabbed Xia Yuan from behind and caught her. At this time, a small piece of the sausage in Xia Yuan's hand had been eaten by her.
Mei Fang hit Xia Yuan hard on the head to teach her a lesson.
"You're getting more and more naughty, huh? You dare to eat and roller skate at the same time, aren't you afraid of falling?"
"My skills are good enough now, there will be no problem at all!"
"You still don't know you're wrong, right? Huh?"
Xia Yuan was pinched and rubbed on the face repeatedly by Mei Fang.
"Okay, okay... I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
Xia Yuan cried, "I just saw that you and Youxi have been staying at home lately and have no enthusiasm at all, so I wanted to tease you... Is Youxi not coming today? We clearly agreed to come together."
"She should be at my house fixing a bug right now. Come over later."
"Well... I asked Xiaoxue to play with me today. Did you remind her when you went out?"
"I told you, she doesn't mind. Don't ask Youxi what she thinks every time you take Xiaoxue out. That's too deliberate. Youxi is not that petty..."
"That's not what I meant."
"Wow, your mouth is so wide open! And I took a bite."
"Why do you mention this specifically?"
"As long as you don't mind."
Xia Yuan really liked the feeling of leaning on Mei Fang's shoulder. She shook her head and was about to get closer, but Mei Fang suddenly put his arm around her shoulder and separated from her.
"Tsk tsk... You two are such a loving couple! Don't you guys pay attention to the occasion?"
Peng Xue walked slowly past the two of them with her hands behind her back, holding onto the railing beside her, her expression full of a teasing smile.
"Xiaoxue! You're so late. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xia Yuan slid to Peng Xue's side and patted her shoulder gently. Peng Xue smiled and said:
"I'm leaving you some time alone together. I'm very conscious."
"What's the matter? There's no need to be shy about it."
Xia Yuan's face was filled with a hearty smile. "Considering the relationship between Ah Fang and me, this level is normal."
"Is this normal..."
Peng Xue smiled and said nothing. She looked around and asked, "Lin Youxi didn't come today?"
"Youxi will be here later." Mei Fang took up the topic and then planned to loosen up his muscles that had not been exercised for a long time. "You guys chat, I'll go skate a few laps."
"Go ahead!"
Xia Yuan waved his hand to signal Mei Fang to play freely.
People at the roller skating rink usually skate clockwise along a fixed circular route. This is a common practice and helps them avoid bumping into each other.
In this way, Mei Fang, who was as comfortable as if he was skating in the moonwalk, continued to surpass one person after another. His relatively small body made him look particularly agile in the roller skating team, which was mostly composed of high school students.
Xia Yuan and Peng Xue leaned against the railing and chatted while watching Mei Fang's figure passing by them from time to time. Peng Xue suddenly sighed:
"Mei Fang's roller skating skills are really amazing."
"Right, right! Our Ah Fang is so strong."
"Yuanyuan, don't you think... Mei Fang is super cool and charming now?"
"ah?"
Xia Yuan's originally cheerful expression immediately faded due to alertness, but Peng Xue was already used to it.
"Hey, I told you not to be so nervous. I'm really not interested in your childhood sweetheart. I'm just asking you... Don't you think so?"
"I think... what? That question just now?" Xia Yuan was stunned.
"Don't you think your Ah Fang is handsome?"
"Yeah, my Ah Fang is very handsome, what's wrong?"
"So..."
Peng Xue tucked her hair behind her ears, then took the rubber band from her hand and tied her hair into a ponytail.
"Aren't you afraid that he might be snatched away by someone?"
"It's okay. Ah Fang promised me that we are students now and should study hard, so he won't do that with other girls...what..."
Xia Yuan recalled the sweet scene when she asked Mei Fang for Super Afang Energy, and she couldn't help but curl up her hair embarrassedly.
"Mei Fang really doesn't seem to have much interest in other girls, but—"
Peng Xue, with her hair tied up, put her hands behind her back and suddenly leaned close to Xia Yuan's ear to tell her a little secret between girls.
"I'm not talking about... other girls, okay?"
