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 the adventure he and Mei Fang had in the arcade.
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."
Xia Yuan wiped his mouth and handed the unfinished potato chips to Lin Youxi, "Lin Youxi, I can't finish this, I'll give it to you."
"Um, 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 it 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."
"Hmmmm... 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 pick any of my clothes or skirts!"
Xia Yuan pulled Lin Youxi and whispered, "Lin Youxi, let's scare Mei Fang!"
Chapter 040 Childhood sweetheart's nickname
Xia Yuan has always been a person of action. Once she decides to do something, she will immediately start making arrangements. Lin Youxi was pulled into her room by Xia Yuan, while Mei Fang was left in the living room.
Speaking of which, even though Mei Fang and Xia Yuan had such a good relationship, he had never been to her room.
There might have been a chance when she was in kindergarten, but Xia Yuan has now begun to have gender awareness, and there are some areas that Mei Fang, as a mere boy, cannot get involved in.
Of course, Xia Yuan was very casual when he entered his room...
Mei Fang took a nap on the sofa in Xia Yuan's house for a while, and then he heard loud footsteps coming from the stairs.
Small sneakers, long white socks, pleated skirt, bow, twin ponytails, Lin Youxi immediately transformed herself after putting on Xia Yuan's clothes, from the wild girl next door to the little princess next door.
In order to match Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan also changed to twin ponytails. Although both of them have short hair, they look very energetic.
"Mei Fang! Look! See if our Lin Youxi is pretty or not?"
"The contrast... is quite strong."
The comparison between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi is in his previous life.
In her previous life, Lin Youxi always had long hair and a school uniform jacket when she was in high school. Her soft and flowing long hair was very impressive.
This female academic master who was once so cool and aloof now appears in front of Mei Fang like a debuted child star idol. It would be strange if he was not surprised.
"Is that all you can say about the contrast? You really don't give Lin Youxi face."
Xia Yuan pushed Lin Youxi's shoulders and walked forward, "You should wear more beautiful skirts in the future, and don't always wear shirts. I can lend you my clothes."
“I still don’t think it’s suitable…”
Lin Youxi twisted her black sneakers and said, "I feel like something is weird."
"It's not weird! You're just not used to wearing something like this for the first time."
Xia Yuan continued to listen to Lin Youxi's intimate words, "Although I have many friends in my class... I still like you the most! We didn't have the chance to be in the same class in elementary school, but you can try hard in middle school!"
"I heard from my mother that the experimental middle school divides classes according to grades. If we all study hard, we can be in the same class when we enter junior high school."
"Yeah... OK." Lin Youxi nodded, "I've been studying hard."
"Okay, let's put this aside for now and practice dancing together."
"okay."
"See, I told you I wasn't needed at all."
Mei Fang saw that he had no way to fit in now, so he thought about finding an excuse to slip away, "Can you let me go back now? I may have something to do at home."
As he spoke, he stood up, but before he took two steps, Xia Yuan, who came forward aggressively, grabbed his arm and stopped him from moving.
"No! You have to help us evaluate the performance of the show!" Xia Yuan frowned, "What can you do when you go home? Isn't it just playing games?"
"I still have to learn programming code. I'm going to watch an online video course today."
Mei Fang noticed that Lin Youxi's eyes were also fixed on him, with a look of great concern.
Maybe what she wants to do now is to learn coding with Mei Fang instead of dancing?
"You can study online later. When my dad comes back, you will go back."
Xia Yuan's tone suddenly became aggrieved, "You haven't come to my house on weekends for two weeks. You wanted to leave after staying for a while today. Don't you like playing with me anymore?"
As she spoke, she leaned towards Mei Fang and stood on tiptoe towards Mei Fang's face. Mei Fang subconsciously took two steps back.
Damn it…don’t look at me like that!
It's too cute!
"Don't talk nonsense."
Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan on the head and said, "I'm just worried that you and Lin Youxi would feel embarrassed if I were a boy here."
"I would definitely feel embarrassed in front of other boys, but Mei Fang, you are different."
Xia Yuan said seriously, "The three of us are childhood sweethearts, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Childhood sweethearts..."
Kids in 05 were not like today where they can get all the information by swiping down their phones, so this was the first time Lin Youxi heard such a statement. "What does this mean?"
"Childhood sweethearts refer to good friends who grew up together. Girls like you and I are childhood sweethearts, and boys like Mei Fang are childhood sweethearts. It has the same meaning as the term 'faxiao' used in our hometown."
After Xia Yuan explained, he changed his mind and realized that the three of them were such good friends and it seemed that they didn't have any special nicknames.
My nickname is Yuanyuan, but Lin Youxi has never called me that.
Mei Fang only called me once, and I forgot what I felt afterwards!
"Come to think of it, we have such a good relationship, but it seems a bit strange to call each other by our first names!"
Xia Yuan smiled and said to Lin Youxi, "Well, from now on I will just call you Youxi! This way it will be more intimate. And you can also call me——"
"Yuanyuan."
Lin Youxi quickly gave the answer that Xia Yuan wanted. She seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time, which made Xia Yuan very happy.
