Chapter 8: TV Station Interview
As the World Cup frenzy gradually subsided with the sound of cicadas, in the scorching summer of Baimei County, the streets and alleys were filled with the sound of music playing from clothing stores. It slowly started to sing a popular song composed by Allen last year
I want to hold your hand and never let go
Can love be forever pure without sorrow
I want to ride a bicycle with you
I want to watch baseball with you
Just like this, singing without worries, walking all the way
Just like the popularity of The Lone Swimmer[1] during Mei Fangs era, this song Easy Love[2] was something even kindergarten and elementary school students in Baimei County could hum a few lines of.
At this moment, just like back then, a chubby boy sitting next to Mei Fang, was singing a song in front of a girl, showcasing his Prince of Love Songs style. The girl rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, appearing absent-minded.
How was it? Did I sing well?
A boy next to them immediately retorted, Deng Zhuo, its shameless for you to sing love songs to girls.
Hmph You immature brat, do you even know what a love song is?
You call me an immature brat? You little fatty!
Dare you call me fatty? Liang Chao, Ill make sure you cant walk straight!
Ah, ah, ah, dont pin me down, I was wrong, I was wrong! I wont dare anymore, spare me, spare me, big brother!
The tone and manner of speech of these children were somewhat different from that of normal people, as they had learned these lines from animated films and TV dramas.
And this poor imitation was often the first step towards growth for these children.
Towards becoming elementary school students.
Mei Fang had been staying in this place filled with generational gaps for almost a month. Every day, he had to avoid getting involved in disputes with the children. It could be said that after the bedwetting incident, Mei Fang had become invisible in the class.
Xia Yuan, who had a friendly personality and good upbringing, rarely had conflicts with the students. She had always been seen as a good student and well-behaved child by the teachers, so she always had many friends around her.
Whenever Xia Yuan was surrounded by a crowd, Lin You Xi would play alone and wouldnt join in.
But this situation also changed after Mei Fang brought Lin You Xi home.
Because she started to approach Mei Fang from time to time.
She went from being silent to being willing to talk to Mei Fang, but always in a low voice, whispering in Mei Fangs ear.
This was actually a very intimate gesture, but the children seemed to not notice or care about it.
As a result, Mei Fang gradually became the one responsible for wiping Lin Youxis runny nose.
Mei Fang, why do you like playing with girls so much recently? Youre so girly, no wonder you wet the bed all the time, hahaha, hahaha!
Du Zihan, this is not okay! Xia Yuan looked angry, Children should get along friendly with each other and not say bad things about each other.
Mei Fang shrugged casually to dissuade Xia Yuan, If they want to laugh, let them laugh. They will be the ones crying when they grow up.
Grrr Im so angry!
Du Zihan swung his toy back and forth, saying, Its time for this bed-wetting boy to taste my power. I am the captain of the Star Team of the Divine Beast Transformers, capable of super transformations. Take this, Divine Beast Flying Kick! BiuChiPa
Du Zihans Transformers was about to collide with the doll in Mei Fangs hand. At this moment, Mei Fang took the initiative and snatched his Transformers away. Du Zihan cried out to snatch the toy back from Mei Fangs hand, but Mei Fang held the toy high in the air, taking advantage of his height.
What is 9 plus 3? Since you are the captain, this should not be difficult for you. If you answer correctly, I will give it back to you.
9 plus 3? Damn it Its a double digit addition and subtraction
Give up, Captain! Mei Fang is a math genius, you cant beat him!
No, I must figure it out 1, 2, 3 4
Captain! Dont torture yourself!
Stop talking! Youve confused me! Shut up!
While Du Zihan was racking his brains to do the math, Teacher Li hurriedly walked in, followed by a group of young men and women holding cameras and microphones.
Children, quiet down, put down your toys and sit in your seats. Uncle and Auntie from Baimei County TV Station heard that you will be graduating soon, so they specially came to interview you and answer some questions. It will be on TV, so pay attention
At this moment, Du Zihan was still struggling with the math problem, while Xia Yuan kept pulling Mei Fangs clothes, asking him to sit down.
Du Zihan, Mei Fang, why arent you in your seats yet?
Teacher, Mei Fang bullied me!
Du Zihan complained to the teacher with a grievance.
Mei Fang, how did you bully him?
One of Du Zihans little followers said, Mei Fang is so mean. He made Du Zihan do two-digit addition!
Yes, hes so mean!
These children seem interesting
The beautiful lady with the microphone asked the cameraman to follow her, Hello, everyone. We are reporters from Baimei TV Station. We would like to interview you. I will ask some questions, and I hope interested children will actively participate. It will be broadcasted on TV!
