It’s not about… other girls.

Xia Yuan immediately understood who Peng Xue was referring to, “You mean Youxi?”

“I didn’t say that, you said it yourself.”

“Hey… Youxi won’t do that.”

Xia Yuan smiled slightly, “The three of us have always had a good relationship. It’s absolutely impossible to only pay attention to one person and then alienate the other. After all, Youxi is someone I’ve watched grow up, I understand her better than Ah Fang!”

“Well, since you put it that way, I shouldn’t continue to say anything. As an outsider, I shouldn’t meddle, and if Mei Fang finds out, he’ll probably come after me again, thinking I’m ruining your relationship.”

Peng Xue shook Xia Yuan’s hand, “Anyway, you have to think it through. I’m on your side. Although we’re still young, we’ll have to face this issue someday… Of course, if you don’t have feelings for your Ah Fang and just want to be friends forever, then forget what I said.”

“Yeah, I know you’re looking out for me. But we don’t need to think about it so much now, let’s just go with the flow when the time comes!”

Xia Yuan invited Peng Xue to skate together while waiting for Mei Fang to finish a lap and join them.

Around 3 o’clock, Lin Yuxi appeared outside the skating rink. Xia Yuan enthusiastically waved at her, but because the lighting was a bit dim, Lin Yuxi didn’t notice and kept looking around.

“I’ll go call her.”

Before Xia Yuan could speak, Mei Fang swiftly skated out. Lin Youxi also caught sight of him, raised her hand in a gentle wave, and wore a tender smile on her face.

Initially, Xia Yuan didn’t think much of it, but under Peng Xue’s teasing words and watching the simple interaction between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, along with some previous thoughts, her mood suddenly became complicated.

Lin Youxi wasn’t familiar with this skating rink, and Mei Fang led her to the shoe-changing area.

“Did you finish that module?”

“Not yet… but it’s been a while since we skated together, and Yuan Yuan specifically invited me, saying Peng Xue would come. If I didn’t come, Yuan Yuan would think I don’t like to hang out with Peng Xue.”

Xia Yuan was worried that not informing Lin Youxi would make her unhappy, and Lin Youxi was worried that not coming would make Xia Yuan think she didn’t like Peng Xue.

The bond between girls is really something, these two are really close.

“I actually don’t like it, but it’s okay, right?”

Mei Fang smiled at Lin Youxi, “I can understand your concerns.”

“It’s not about Peng Xue.”

Lin Youxi pondered, “I guess I just… um, don’t like Yuan Yuan getting too close to other girls.”

“Feeling jealous?”

“Um.”

Lin Youxi nodded without denying, “If I have to say… it’s something like that.”

“Then today, you have to win Yuan Yuan back.” Mei Fang encouraged Lin Youxi, who was sitting on a stool, changing shoes, “Look, Aunt Liang bought you these new roller skates at the beginning of the year, and you haven’t worn them much. You always sit by the computer coding, you’ll ruin your eyesight.”

“I should go out more, but I’m really not good at this sport…”

“Just skate more, there’s no secret to it.”

“Bragging.”

Lin Youxi grumbled discontentedly, “You were so good at skating since elementary school. It’s a matter of talent.”

“Speaking of which, the first time I played roller skating in elementary school, it reminded me of…”

“You two… why are you so slow?”

Xia Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, hands on hips, “Xiaoxue and I have been waiting for you forever. What are you chatting about so happily without inviting me?”

At this moment, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang didn’t notice the undertone of Xia Yuan’s words, “Oh, we were talking about the first time we played roller skating.”

“Hahaha, you are talking about that barking Du Zihan, right?”

Xia Yuan, who initially carried a bit of resentment, immediately became interested upon hearing the two talking about past memories, “I saw Du Zihan in the arcade area when I was buying food for Ah Fang earlier. He was playing games over there.”

“Du Zihan was there too? Didn’t you say hi to him?”

Xia Yuan shook her head, “There were too many people over there, and we haven’t really talked in three or four years. I doubt he even recognizes me.”

Mei Fang suddenly became interested, “Speaking of which, he previously asked me for a roller skating duel and then ran away. Later, he challenged me again but I was busy trying to stay in Baimei County and didn’t pay attention to him. Now that I have time and he does too, maybe he’s interested?”

Lin Youxi immediately gave Mei Fang a disdainful pat, “You’re already in middle school, not a three-year-old. Why bother competing with him? He just graduated from elementary school, he might not even want to talk to you.”

“It’s not about competing, I just want to say hi to a long-lost kindergarten classmate. Of course, if he wants to compete with me, I’ll accept the challenge! Let’s go find him!”

“What’s going on? Is Mei Fang looking for trouble? Is he going to fight? I want to see!”

Upon hearing this, Peng Xue immediately transformed into a curious person, “I’ve never seen Mei Fang get into a fight.”

“Xiaoxue, what are you thinking? We are good students, how could we possibly get into a fight and have our parents called?”

Xia Yuan gave Peng Xue a scornful look, and Peng Xue immediately apologized with a smile, “Because it’s rare to see Mei Fang get angry. Come on, tell me, what’s going on?”

The group arrived at the amusement arcade, where there were two light gun machines and a row of arcade machines. They decided to play at the arcade and exchanged some coins at the front desk.

This indoor roller skating rink had decent customer flow in the summer, with many elementary school students playing here. However, there were fewer middle school students, because internet cafes were already flourishing at this time.

Following Xia Yuan’s guidance, Mei Fang found Du Zihan in the arcade area and immediately understood why Xia Yuan could recognize him at a glance—apart from being a bit chubby, his face was almost identical to the last time they saw him.

Boys who entered puberty late always seemed to look like children, and those who developed early were frankly too advantageous in terms of popularity among girls.

At that moment, Du Zihan was playing “House of the Dead 3” on the light gun machine, surrounded by a group of much younger third and fourth graders, who were even giving him advice.

“Shoot that one!”

“Don’t shoot the hostage! Finally, there’s a chance to gain an extra life!”

“D*mn, can you little brats shut up! You’re so annoying!”

In a moment of distraction, Du Zihan was attacked to death by the boss.

“D*mn it…”

This was the first time Du Zihan had reached this level, and he really wanted to see what the next scene would be like.

However, when he reached for the coins in the basket, he found that there was only one coin left.

Just as Du Zihan was at a loss, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder and handed him two coins.

Du Zihan was stunned for a moment when he saw Mei Fang and couldn’t remember who he was. Mei Fang reminded Du Zihan, “Hurry up and continue, or you won’t make it in time.”

“Oh, thanks a lot, buddy!”

Du Zihan was very happy to meet such a good person in this situation, thinking that this person was a nice guy and they could get along. In the future, he could bring him to play games together, and let this person experience the joy of being carried by a pro.
