Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

After receiving the game coins from Mei Fang, Du Zihan hurriedly inserted them into the coin slot and continued shooting the boss with his gun.

Mei Fang and the others watched Du Zihan play from behind. However, it was obvious that Du Zihan’s skills were not enough to deal with this level’s boss, which made Xia Yuan frustrated. Unable to bear it, she pulled Mei Fang’s arm.

“Ah Fang, why don’t you go help him defeat the boss? He’s going to die again and then he’ll come asking you for coins.”

“We can’t do that. If we join in now and play 2P, the boss will regain its health. The general rule is not to interfere in someone else’s boss battle at this point. It’s an unspoken rule.”

“I didn’t know that…”

Relying on the coins provided by a mysterious person, Du Zihan frantically shot at the boss in a rough manner. In the end, with only a sliver of health left, he defeated the final boss.

“F*ck yeah! F*ck yeah!”

After his victory, Du Zihan continued to curse wildly, and the nearby elementary school students cheered and celebrated, feeling deeply immersed in the game.

Du Zihan had achieved his goal for the day, so he glanced at the next level and then handed the game console over to the boys who were watching on the side.

“Oh, Du Zihan, you really don’t recognize us? We were kindergarten classmates. I’m Xia Yuan, do you remember me?”

“You? You’re Xia Yuan?” Du Zihan furrowed his brow, trying to recall the name Xia Yuan for a while. “I… don’t really remember, it’s a bit vague…”

“I’m Mei Fang, and this is Lin Youxi. You completely forgot about us?”

As soon as Du Zihan heard Mei Fang’s name, he immediately remembered, “Oh, you’re the one who wet the bed in kindergarten and washed in front of everyone, the bed-wetting king!”

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi couldn’t help but smile at each other when they heard this. Peng Xue, who was also present, covered her mouth and laughed, while the injured Mei Fang retorted, “Can’t you remember anything else? Like the time you ran away after losing the roller skating duel in elementary school?”

Du Zihan blushed immediately after hearing this and scratched his head, “I was young and didn’t know any better back then. Why bring that up now?”

“What about the time you challenged Ah Fang to a race later on? Do you remember that?”

Du Zihan scratched his head, “I do remember… but I thought you had moved to Baizhou City. I don’t really skate much anymore.”

“Oh… I see…”

Xia Yuan suddenly looked very disappointed after hearing this. “We thought it was a rare chance to meet you here. Do you want to fulfill our childhood regrets?”

Mei Fang felt that something was off and couldn’t help but complain in his heart:

Is your childhood regret wanting to see Du Zihan kneel down and apologize to Youxi?

Just then, Peng Xue suddenly walked up boldly and patted Du Zihan on the shoulder.

“Hey, I knew this name sounded familiar. Du Zihan, do you remember me?”

Boys and girls of this age are quite conscious of gender, and physical contact is rare. After being patted on the shoulder by Peng Xue, Du Zihan immediately felt embarrassed and shrank back.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Peng Xue. We were classmates in elementary school. We even sat together for a while. Don’t you remember?”

Xia Yuan felt very confused after hearing this, “Didn’t Du Zihan repeat a grade? How could you two be classmates?”

“Maybe we were classmates before he repeated a grade.”

Lin Youxi took over, “Didn’t Du Zihan repeat a grade in the third grade? That’s probably when we met.”

“Yeah, it was before the third grade.” Peng Xue couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, Baimei County really is such a small place. We can still run into acquaintances here.”

“You… are you Peng Xue?”

Du Zihan shook his head, unable to believe it, “I don’t recognize you… at all.”

“Speaking of which, I used to fight with Du Zihan a lot… He always called me a stinky old lady and wouldn’t make way for me whenever I wanted to leave my seat. I was so annoyed with him back then.” Peng Xue talked about the past without reservation, which also resonated strongly with Xia Yuan.

“Right! He also called me that!” Xia Yuan suddenly pouted, “Du Zihan, do you always have to insult girls like that?”

“Huh? That was in the past… just… that’s how boys are.”

Although Du Zihan’s language wasn’t exactly clean now, as he grew older, he started to control himself. He only used harsh language when bantering with boys.

As for girls… he had very little interaction with them, so now when Xia Yuan and Peng Xue tried to talk to him, he stuttered.

But Xia Yuan was relentless in response to Du Zihan’s explanation: “Boys can’t all be like that! Look at our Ah Fang, he doesn’t swear. You’re about to start middle school, so don’t be rude when interacting with your new girl classmates like you were before.”

It feels like an adult scolding a child…

But Du Zihan really didn’t dare to argue with Xia Yuan now, just nodding in agreement.

Of course, seeing him now, no longer as fearless as before, Mei Fang also lost his enthusiasm for challenging him on a roller skating duel. “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 already spent all his money earlier.

“It’s okay, I’ll treat you to play.”

Mei Fang gave some coins to Du Zihan, and Du Zihan immediately became enthusiastic, “I’m familiar with the arcade machines in this place. I’ll show you how to play!”

Du Zihan picked up the enthusiasm he had earlier and led them to explore the amusement arcade.

This former little sissy and bedwetting king, who used to play with those two girls, is now also hanging out with Peng Xue, who was annoying since elementary school.

Ah, if only Mei Fang didn’t bring these girls along…

“Don’t be fooled by the limited number of arcade machines in this place. The joystick machine here is a treasure. Look at this one! It’s the rare ‘King of Fighters 2002’ with lots of new characters and moves, and it’s much more impressive than the KOF 97-98 that I’m tired of playing in other arcades.”

Mei Fang immediately agreed with Du Zihan, “Oh, I haven’t seen 2002 much in our Baimei County. I’ve only heard that the amusement arcades in Baizhou City have it.”

After all, this is the twilight era of amusement arcades…

“So, let’s try it together. The controls are very different!”

After saying this, Du Zihan sat down and called out to Mei Fang, “Mei Fang, come and play with me. You’ll see the difference right away.”

But Mei Fang wasn’t in a hurry to play. He discussed with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, “Do you guys want to play? If you do, you can come and play. Who wants to 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 play arcade games much. I’m fine watching you guys play.”

Peng Xue also shook her head and refused. She just wanted to watch.

It was Lin Youxi who seemed a bit eager to try—she was wearing roller skates and was unsteady on her feet, leaning on Mei Fang’s shoulder the whole time.

“Youxi, do you want to play? Then you go first and try.”

Xia Yuan encouraged Lin Youxi from the side, “It’s also a chance to settle the score from back then.”

Lin Youxi immediately gave Xia Yuan a look and said, “I don’t hold grudges like that. I’ve long forgotten about that incident.”

“Oh, Mei Fang, aren’t you going to play?”

Seeing Lin Youxi getting ready to sit down and play against him, Du Zihan suddenly looked a bit flustered. He scratched his head and said, “How can I play against her? I take gaming very seriously, and I won’t go easy even on a girl. If I make her cry, then… that wouldn’t be good, right?”

“Hahaha…”

As Du Zihan finished speaking, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t worry, play seriously. We have confidence in Youxi’s skills. I’m sure she won’t cry easily.”

Mei Fang had full confidence in Lin Youxi’s skills, and Xia Yuan added fuel to the fire, “Du Zihan, if you can beat Youxi, I’ll give you 10 yuan.”

“Okay, it’s a deal!”
