Chapter 39: Lets Surprise Mei Fang!

Chapter 39: Lets Surprise Mei Fang!

This weekend was the day Mei Fang had arranged to watch Xia Yuans performance, but before that, he went to the arcade with Lin Youxi to play games.

In 2005, it cost 1 yuan for 6 coins at the arcade. All the games only required 1 coin to play. Of course, there were no driving, motorcycle, or shooting games here; they were all joystick games.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Lin Youxi rarely had the opportunity to invite Mei Fang to play games, so she wanted to have a blast with all the coins she had. Before playing on each machine, she would pull Mei Fang to watch someone else play first, so she could understand the controls before starting.

Because Mei Fang was very familiar with the arcade games like Knights of Valour[gnfn-1], Oriental Legend[gnfn-2], Cadillacs and Dinosaurs[gnfn-3], and The King of Fighters[gnfn-4], every time Lin Youxi died in the early stages, Mei Fangs health remained good.

However, Lin Youxi didnt continue with more coins after dying. Instead, she sat next to Mei Fang and watched him play until he died, and then she would switch to another machine.

I didnt expect you to be so good at this too! Youre amazing.

I have emulators on my computer that I can play. I mentioned it before. Next time, you can practice at my place first.

Okay, okay!

Lin Youxi pulled Mei Fang to play at the arcade for a while, but in the end, they couldnt stand the smoky environment inside and ran out.

Phew cough, cough, cough. It really smells bad in there.

I warned you before. Thats why playing at my place is better, right?

No. I think the arcade is also good.

Lin Youxi stretched and yawned, The main thing is that we can play together, and using a joystick is much more comfortable than squeezing a keyboard.

But then she sighed, But these types of arcades dont make much money. They will probably be replaced by computer games in the future.

Thats true

By the way, Mei Fang, those computer tools you used to do the escort missions before, were they made using that thing you learned?

They are all programming languages. You can think of it that way

Can I learn it too in the future?

Lin Youxi said, Im a bit interested in the code books you usually read. I also want to try learning.

Of course you can, but it can only be outside of school, you know? Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, Your grades cant decline.

Lin Youxi ran ahead and then pulled down her eyelids, making a funny face at Mei Fang.

Youre so naggy. Youre even stricter than my dad.

Hey! You little brat, I just had fun with you, and now youre being rude and changing your attitude?

Lets have a competition. Whoever arrives late at Xia Yuans house will treat everyone potato chips!

Lin Youxi quickly ran towards Mei Fang and Xia Yuans neighborhood, but Mei Fang had no intention of chasing after her. He just strolled leisurely and bought three small portions of fried potato chips from a street vendor along the way.

Fried potato chips are a specialty snack in Baimei County. The potatoes are sliced and fried until cooked but not crispy. After being taken out of the pan, they are drizzled with a special sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onions and cilantro. Other fried snacks that go well with these potato chips include stinky tofu, radish balls, lotus root sandwiches, and ham skewers. A bowl full of these cheap town delicacies brings happiness.

In the past, Xia Yuan would never have tried these junk foods, even if her parents were not at home.

But now, when Xia Yuan saw Mei Fang holding the bag of potato chips appearing at their doorstep, she immediately ran out happily to greet him.

As expected of Mei Fang, I knew you wouldnt forget!

Xia Yuan took the bag from Mei Fangs hand, I havent been able to go out recently, so I couldnt eat this. It made me so hungry.

Hey, dont snatch it, I bought enough. Be careful.

The two of them entered the house one after the other. Lin Youxi had already poured drinks for them in the living room. The three of them happily ate the potato chips, and Lin Youxi also told Xia Yuan about their adventure at the arcade with Mei Fang.

After finishing the dance, Xia Yuan maintained her final pose with her hands on her waist and smiled at Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.

Howis it?

Mei Fang was about to speak when Lin Youxi couldnt help but clap.

Xia Yuan, you danced so well! Just like a little star on TV.

UmLin Youxi, stop making fun of me! Oh, by the waythis dance is very simple, you can learn it right away!

II cantI cantmy limbs are not coordinated, Im not as flexible as you

Lin Youxi, your legs are so long, you will definitely look better dancing this than me! If we were in the same class, I would definitely drag you to dance with me.

II dont have clothes as pretty as yours.

Its okaycome to my room, you can pick any of my clothes or skirts!

Xia Yuan whispered to Lin Youxi, Lin Youxi, lets surprise Mei Fang later!
