1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 42 Interview, Volunteer

"sand?"

Li Yan didn't believe it, her eyes showing suspicion.

"it is true."

Lin Xiyu turned her back to her, forcibly calming herself down and forcing back her tears.

"Sister Yan."

Gu Bin noticed her unusual mood and frowned slightly: "Aren't you supposed to interview Qu Peng and the others? You can start now."

"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Yan held up the microphone and walked towards Qu Peng and the other two.

"Xu."

After seeing her leave, Lin Xiyu wiped away her tears and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

-

"My ambition is to start my own company and be a big boss."

"My first choice was the Public Security University, because I want to be a policeman."

"I want to go to the Army Academy, and after graduation, I want to participate in the selection of flag bearers and join the Guard of Honor of the three services."

Wang Fan, Qu Peng, and Li Liang, with their youthful spirit, showed no nervousness in front of the camera, chatting enthusiastically as they took turns speaking.

"A guard of honor for the three services? What a noble ambition."

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Liang with great admiration: "Young men from Shandong are so tall, you must be at least 185 cm tall, right?"

"187cm, he's the tallest among us guys."

Wang Fan eagerly spoke up: "Next is Gu Bin, 185cm, then I'm 183cm, and Qu Peng is the shortest, only 1.78m."

"So what if I'm the shortest?"

Qu Peng hates it when people say he's short, so he retorted irritably, "I'm only 18 years old, I'll grow taller, okay? Besides, being a policeman doesn't depend on height, there's no need to be that tall, standing there like a telephone pole."

"Ryoko, beat him."

Wang Fan maliciously instigated, "He said you're a telephone pole."

"What's wrong with the telephone pole?" Li Liang was indeed annoyed by what he heard and blurted out, "Being tall is a gift from God. I'm made to be a flag bearer, unlike some people who are underdeveloped. You can't be envious of them."

Wang Fan added slyly, "He developed earlier than the three of us. He was the tallest in junior high, but he stopped growing in high school. I guess there's little hope of him growing any taller."

"Wang Fan, you little brat, do you want a beating?"

Qu Peng blushed and rolled up his sleeves, intending to beat him up.

"Go ahead and hit me, go ahead and hit me."

Relying on the presence of reporters, Wang Fan assumed that Qu Peng wouldn't dare to really beat him up, and fearlessly continued: "I'm standing right here, it would be cowardly not to hit me."

"Ha, you're getting cocky now?"

Qu Peng was provoked and was truly enraged this time. He pounced on him with lightning speed, grabbed his neck, and delivered a devastating blow.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Wang Fan didn't expect him to actually dare to make a move. He took a solid punch to the abdomen, bent over like a shrimp, howling in pain.

"Serves him right, that kid deserves a beating."

Li Liang, always eager for a good show, added fuel to the fire: "Let him show off, stirring things up back and forth. He's got what he deserves this time."

"Beautiful lady, help me! They're both bullying me!"

Wang Fan, with his thick skin, broke free from Qu Peng's grasp and quickly hid behind Li Yan, acting cute and begging for comfort.

"Hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists. Let's talk this out."

Li Yan held the microphone, feeling both amused and exasperated. With no other option, she had to bite the bullet and act as a peacemaker.

"Wang Fan, have you no shame?"

"You really know how to get a woman to stand up for you."

Qu Peng laughed in anger, and together with Li Liang, they attacked him from both sides, brutally beating him.

"Ouch, ouch, I'm going to die."

Wang Fan wasn't about to wait to be beaten. He was as slippery as a catfish, and ran away before the fists even landed on him. This time, he hid next to Lin Xiyu.

Lin Xiyu had just calmed down a bit, but her eyelids were still red. She was so startled by his howl that she suddenly turned around.
