After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 241 239 My crush is a hero

After returning home and having dinner, Jiang Shu took Yaoyao to Hualian Department Store to buy new inline skates and a full set of protective gear.

Although a 1.7-meter-tall man wearing protective gear while skating would probably be laughed at, as a beginner, Jiang Shu really didn't want to end up with bruises all over his body after a day of falling.

"Brother Xiaoshu, you have to be like me. You have to keep your legs in an outward position and swing your arms to keep your balance."

At Times Square behind Hualian Department Store, Zhong Yaoyao explained while demonstrating the basic roller skating moves in front of him.

The corners of Jiang Shu's mouth twitched slightly. He understood all these principles, but after putting on inline skates, even standing up normally became a problem, let alone how to move.

But after all, he has practiced mixed martial arts for so many years, even if the wheels under his feet are no longer obedient, he can at least ensure that he will not fall down easily.

In fact, Jiang Shu has always been confused about something regarding ice skating.

He remembered that in the system timeline, there was a task to resolve past grievances, which was to take Zhong Yaoyao, who couldn't skate, to the ice rink to play. But the problem was, he himself couldn't skate. Could it be that the two of them had been skating on the skating rink for the entire afternoon?
Jiang Shu complained silently in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he was finally able to move it. However, it was still far from being smooth, and it was even less similar to the word "slippery".

It can only move slowly and straight forward by inertia, and can't even control the direction.

But Zhong Yaoyao was more impressive. She put her hands behind her back, wore roller skates and circled around him in fancy ways, looking like she was strolling in the garden.

Looking at Jiang Shu's extremely funny and stiff movements, Zhong Yaoyao couldn't help but want to laugh. Only at this time did she feel that brother Xiaoshu was not omnipotent.

"Brother Xiaoshu, it will be very slow if you practice alone. Hold my hand and I will guide you. Just relax your body and find the feeling and how to control the direction."

"Well, okay, but you have to slow down."

Zhong Yaoyao smiled and nodded, and her soft little hands took the initiative to pull him, and they started slowly, deliberately sliding in places with few people.

Looking at Yaoyao who was acting as the locomotive in the front, Jiang Shu couldn't help feeling a little dazed. The girl whom he had been protecting all this time seemed to have grown up suddenly.

"Look, Brother Xiaoshu, ice skating is actually quite simple, right? As long as you find the trick, you can learn it quickly!" Zhong Yaoyao looked back at him with a smile.

“I don’t think I’ve learned it…”

Jiang Shu looked down at his roller skates. The motivation to move forward was given by Yaoyao. He didn't even lift his feet to skate once. However, his body was indeed less tense than before.

Zhong Yaoyao blinked and suddenly let go of her little hand. Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted in panic: "Yaoyao, hurry up, hurry up, catch me, I'm going to fall!"

Zhong Yaoyao watched Brother Xiaoshu go away with a smile. When people are extremely panicked, they will try hard to keep their body balance. That's how she learned it.

Seeing that Zhong Yaoyao ignored him, Jiang Shu felt numb. Just now he was thinking that Yaoyao had grown up and knew how to protect him, but now it seemed that she was a black-hearted little girl.

He had no idea how to brake and could only try his best to keep his balance so as not to fall.

Just when he was about to hit the flower bed, a beautiful figure quickly approached, grabbed his hand, and led him away narrowly.

"Zhuzhu!?" Jiang Shu saw her appearance clearly and his face lit up with joy.

"Stupid Xiaoshu, how come you can't even roller skate?"

Xu Xinzhu slid back and forth with graceful movements, looked at him with a smile on her face, raised her hand and gently tucked the hair that was blown by the wind behind her ears.

As the setting sun spreads, half of the delicate little face is immersed in the soft light and shadow, as beautiful as a painting.

"Why are you here?" "Didn't you say before that you were going to Hualian to buy roller skates? I guessed that you might be here. Hehehe, luckily I arrived in time, otherwise someone would have hit his head against a tree. Shouldn't you thank me?" Xu Xinzhu blinked and said playfully.

"One bottle of mineral water, no more." Jiang Shu said seriously.

"Hmph, so stingy. Who wants your mineral water?" She pouted. This guy, she clearly saved him, but he didn't even show any appreciation.

At this time, Zhong Yaoyao also slid over quickly. She stopped steadily beside her and was very happy: "Sister Zhuzhu! You are here. I am teaching Brother Xiaoshu how to skate."

Jiang Shu was very upset after hearing this. He was teaching well at first, but she let go of his hand when he wasn't paying attention. If Zhu Zhu hadn't arrived in time, he would have fallen into the flower bed.

"Yaoyao, you play by yourself for a while, I will teach Xiaoshu." Xu Xinzhu was slightly moved.

Zhong Yaoyao took a deep look at the two people holding hands and nodded: "Okay."

Then he skated around Times Square a few times. Occasionally, when he saw a piece of trash on the ground, he would use fancy skills to pass by and pick it up and throw it into the trash can, but his eyes were always fixed on the two people in the center of the square.

Sister Zhuzhu's feelings for Brother Xiaoshu are not at all like those of ordinary friends.

Jiang Shu looked at Xu Xinzhu with a vigilant look on his face: "You won't let go suddenly, will you?"

"I can't do such boring things."

Xu Xinzhu snorted softly, "Stupid Xiaoshu, don't just rely on inertia to slide. Slowly follow my rhythm. When I lift my left leg, you lift my left leg. When I lift my right leg, you lift my right leg. Keep repeating the outward eight-character movement."

"It's easier said than done..." Jiang Shu retorted.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I believe you once."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, and relying on his control over his body, he bent his waist and legs, first lifting his left foot, then his right foot, and repeated the V-stepping.

He leaned forward slightly, and relying on the inertia of the wheels, he actually slid forward shakily. After practicing it several times, he felt that he had found the trick.

"See, I was right!" Xu Xinzhu stood ten meters away and waved at him with a smile: "Xiaoshu, come over here quickly, I'll catch you."

Jiang Shu nodded and repeated the same steps, sliding towards Zhu Zhu unsteadily. Although his movements were still clumsy, they were much better than before.

There was joy in his eyes: "I think I have learned it."

"It's still a long way to go before you can learn it." Xu Xinzhu pouted and said, "At most you can just slide. You still need to be proficient in various basic operations such as obstacle avoidance, turning, and emergency braking. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if you encounter an emergency."

Jiang Shu's face twitched slightly. He felt that he might not be able to learn it in his lifetime unless the system gave him the entire roller skating skill.

He was distracted for a moment, and his steps became disordered in an instant. He staggered a few times, lost his balance and fell forward. Seeing this, Xu Xinzhu rushed forward, but her strength was still a little lacking.

Jiang Shu screamed "Ahhhh" and fell to the ground together with Zhu Zhu in his arms.

Xu Xinzhu raised her head and stared at Jiang Shu in a daze. He subconsciously hugged her tightly in his arms, using his body to cushion her.

She was instantly moved to tears.
