Xia Yuan shook his head. "There are too many people over there, and we haven't spoken much in three or four years. I don't think he recognizes me."
Mei Fang immediately became interested when he heard this. "Come to think of it, he asked me to have a roller skating duel before but he ran away. Later, he asked me to compete in roller skating skills again. That time, I was busy trying to find a way to stay in Baimei County and ignored him. This time, I am free and he is free too. Maybe he is willing to do so?"
Lin Youxi immediately patted Mei Fang in disdain: "You are already a junior high school student, not a three-year-old child, why are you competing with him? He just graduated from elementary school and may not be willing to pay attention to you."
"There's no competition here. I just went to say hello to a kindergarten classmate I haven't seen for years. Of course he wants to compete with me, so I'm competing with him. Go find him!"
"What? Mei Fang wants to cause trouble for someone? Want to fight? I want to see it!"
Peng Xue, who arrived shortly after, immediately turned into a joker when he heard this, "I've never seen Mei Fang fight with anyone."
"Xiaoxue...what are you thinking about! We are good students. How could we fight with others? Our parents will be called to the police station."
Xia Yuan gave Peng Xue a look of disdain, and Peng Xue immediately smiled and apologized, "Because it's rare to see Mei Fang lose his temper, tell me quickly, what's going on?"
The group came to the game machine area chatting and laughing. This indoor roller skating rink had two light gun machines and a row of arcade machines. Everyone wanted to play at the arcade for a while, so they went to the front desk to exchange some coins.
As an additional supporting industry, the customer flow here is quite good in the summer. There are many elementary school students playing here, but relatively few middle school students, because this is the era of thriving Internet cafes.
Mei Fang followed Xia Yuan's instructions and found Du Zihan in the arcade area. He immediately understood why Xia Yuan could recognize him at a glance - except that he was a little fatter than the boy in elementary school, his face was almost exactly the same.
Boys who enter puberty late will always look like children. To be honest, boys who develop early have a great advantage in being popular with girls.
At this time, Du Zihan was playing "House of the Dead 3" on the light gun machine. He was surrounded by a group of third and fourth graders who were much younger than him. They were even giving Du Zihan advice.
"Hit that one!"
"Don't hit the hostage! We finally have a chance to save his life!"
"Fuck, can you little brats just shut up? It's making so much noise!"
While Du Zihan was distracted for a while, he was tickled to death by the BOSS again.
"Fuck..."
This was the first time Du Zihan had reached this level, and he really wanted to see what the scene next looked like.
However, when he reached for the game coin in the basket, he found that there was only one coin left in the basket.
Just when Du Zihan was at a loss, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and handed him two game coins.
When Du Zihan saw Mei Fang, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't remember who this person was. Mei Fang reminded Du Zihan: "Hurry up and refill the coins, otherwise it will be too late."
"Ohhh...thanks a lot, buddy!"
Du Zihan was very happy that he could meet such a good person in this place. He thought that this brother was a good person and they could get along well. He could take him to play games in the future and let him experience the joy of being led by a big boss.
Chapter 091 I am very serious about playing games!
After Du Zihan took the game coins from Mei Fang, he hurriedly put the coins into the game, and then continued to hold the gun and started shooting at the BOSS.
Mei Fang and his group were watching Du Zihan play from behind, but Du Zihan's skills were obviously not enough to deal with the BOSS of this level, which made Xia Yuan's blood pressure so high that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled Mei Fang's arm.
"Ah Fang, go up and help him beat him down. He will die again later and ask you for money again."
"How can this be possible? If we start a 2P fight at this time, the boss will gain health. The general rule for this game is that we don't continue other people's boss fights. This is a rule we all agreed upon."
"And this matter..."
Relying on the coins provided by the mysterious person, Du Zihan shot frantically and fought with the BOSS in a very rough way. In the end, he defeated the final BOSS with only one soul fire left.
"Yeah! Fuck! Holy shit!"
After Du Zihan won, he kept cursing like crazy, and the primary school students next to him were cheering and jumping for joy, seeming to be very involved in the scene.
Du Zihan had achieved his goal today, so he just took a look at the next level and gave the machine to the boys who were watching the show on the side.
"Thanks a lot, brother. We... know each other, right? You do look familiar."
"Ah, Du Zihan, you really can't recognize us? We were classmates in kindergarten. I'm Xia Yuan. Do you still remember me?"
"You? Are you Xia Yuan?" Du Zihan frowned and thought about the name Xia Yuan for a long time, "I... don't quite remember it, I just have a slight impression..."
"I'm Mei Fang, this is Lin Youxi, have you completely forgotten about us?"
Du Zihan immediately reacted when he heard Mei Fang's name, "Oh, you're the one who wet the bed in kindergarten and had to wipe the bath in front of everyone, the bed-wetting king!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi couldn't help but smile immediately after hearing this. They looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. Peng Xue, who was having fun, also covered her mouth and laughed. Only the hurt Mei Fang was stubborn:
"Can't you remember something else? Like that time in elementary school when you had a roller skating match and ended up running away?"
Du Zihan blushed immediately after hearing this, scratched his head and said, "We were young and ignorant at that time, why would we still remember that incident?"
"Then you challenged Al Fang to a match later. Do you remember that?"
Du Zihan scratched his head, "I remember...but I really thought you moved to Hakushu. I don't play roller skating that much anymore."
"Ah...that's it..."
Xia Yuan looked very disappointed after hearing this. "We were thinking, since it's a rare opportunity to meet you here, should we fulfill our childhood regrets..."
Mei Fang felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Your childhood regret wouldn't be to see Du Zihan kneel down and apologize to Youxi...
At this moment, Peng Xue suddenly walked up and patted Du Zihan on the shoulder.
"Hey, I was wondering why this name sounds so familiar, Du Zihan, do you still remember me?"
Men and women of this age have a strong sense of gender and generally rarely engage in physical contact. When Du Zihan was patted on the shoulder by Peng Xue, he immediately shrank back in embarrassment.
"Which one of you?"
"I'm Peng Xue. We were classmates in elementary school. We even sat at the same table for a while. Have you forgotten?"
Xia Yuan was immediately confused after hearing this, "Didn't Du Zihan fail a grade? How come you two are classmates?"
"It should be a classmate before he was held back."
Lin Youxi took over the conversation, "Didn't Du Zihan repeat himself in the third grade? I think that's when we met."
"Yes, it was before the third grade." Peng Xue couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, Baimei County is such a small place, I can still run into acquaintances here."
"You...you are Peng Xue?"
Du Zihan shook his head and said he couldn't believe it. "I can't recognize it... I can't recognize it at all."
"Come to think of it, Du Zihan and I had a lot of fights in the past... He always called me a bitch and wouldn't let me cross the 38th parallel. I was so annoyed with him back then." Peng Xue talked about the past without any scruples, which also aroused Xia Yuan's strong resonance.
"Really? He has called me that before!" Xia Yuan said angrily, "Du Zihan, do you always call girls stinky bitches when you see them?"
"Ah? That was in the past... that's how boys were."
Du Zihan’s mouth isn’t very clean now, but as he gets older, he has started to be more polite to others. He only curses harshly when he’s playing with boys.
As for girls... he basically has no interactions with girls, so Xia Yuan and Peng Xue stuttered when they talked to him.
However, Xia Yuan was not willing to give up Du Zihan's explanation:
"How can all boys be like that? Look at us, Fang, we don't swear. You're going to middle school soon, so don't be as rude as before when interacting with new girls."
How can you be like an adult teaching a child...
But Du Zihan didn't dare to refute Xia Yuan now, and just nodded in agreement.
Of course, seeing him now like Runtu, he no longer had the fearless character he had before when he met Brother Xun. Mei Fang also lost his enthusiasm for roller skating. "I just bought a lot of coins. Du Zihan, do you want to play with us?"
"I don't have any money on me." Du Zihan had just used up all his money shooting.
"It's okay, I'll let you play."
Mei Fang gave some coins to Du Zihan, who immediately became enthusiastic and said, "I'm familiar with all the machines in this store. I'll show you around!"
Du Zihan picked up his previous enthusiasm to take Mei Fang to take off, and took Mei Fang and the others to visit the arcade location here.
It turns out that the former sissy bed-wetting king is still playing with those two girls, and now he's hooking up with Peng Xue, who was annoying and talkative since elementary school.
Oh, if only Mei Fang didn't bring these women with him...
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this store doesn't have many arcade machines. This store has a treasure of its own among its joystick machines. Look at this one! This is the rare "King of Fighters 2002". It has many new characters and moves, and it is also very well balanced. It is much better than the 9798 that you are tired of playing in other places."
Mei Fang immediately nodded in agreement with Du Zihan's words, "Oh, 2002 is indeed rare in our Baimei County. I only heard that it is available in the arcade halls in Baizhou City."
After all, this is already the twilight era of arcades...
"So, let's try it together, the operation is very different!"
After Du Zihan finished speaking, he sat down on the side and called out to Mei Fang without any tact, "Mei Fang, come and play with me, and you will know the difference immediately."
In the end, Mei Fang was not in a hurry to go first. He discussed with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, "Do you want to play? If you want to play, you can come and play. Who will go first?"
“I don’t really want to play fighting games.”
Xia Yuan was lying—she just didn’t want to play with Du Zihan.
"I don't really play arcade games, I just watch you guys play."
Peng Xue also shook her head and refused. She just wanted to have fun.
Lin Youxi, on the other hand, looked like she wanted to give it a try - she was walking unsteadily on roller skates, so she was holding onto Mei Fang's shoulders the whole time.
"Youxi, you want to play, right? Then come and try it first."
Xia Yuan encouraged Lin Youxi, "This is a good chance to avenge the arrow that hit me back then."
Lin Youxi immediately rolled her eyes at Xia Yuan and said, "How can I bear a grudge like that? I have already forgotten about that incident."
"Ah, Mei Fang, don't you want to play?"
Seeing Lin Youxi preparing to sit down and fight him, Du Zihan suddenly panicked. He scratched his head and said, "How can I let her play with me? I am very serious about playing games. I will not let her down when playing with girls. If I make her cry, that... won't be good, right?"
"Hahaha……"
As soon as Du Zihan finished speaking, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Don't worry, just hit us hard. We Xi won't be beaten to tears so easily."
Mei Fang had full confidence in Lin Youxi's skills, and Xia Yuan even added fuel to the fire:
"Du Zihan, if you can beat Weyouxi, I'm willing to give you 10 yuan."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
