Qin Guan took a taxi home and opened the door carefully. His parents were already fast asleep in the master bedroom.
Home was always there when he was with them. Qin Guan took off his suit and fake collar. He was tipsy. Sweet dreams.
Sweet dreams? Of course! Qin Guan's parents had been there for several days. Thanks to their strong communication skills, they had built a good relationship with the old people and the residents of the neighborhood committee.
Qin Guan's mother had joined the welcoming gongs and drums, while Qin Guan's father had made friends with the chess fans in the Community Activity Room.
Qin Guan had been abandoned by his parents. He had prepared a map and tour route to take his parents to the Summer Palace for some fresh air, but his plan had been aborted.
Qin Guan's parents sneered at Qin Guan's plan. Who would go to the park in the middle of winter?
The days before the New Year were very happy. Mom brought the gongs and drums from the team home and practiced them when she had nothing to do.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
"Qin Guan, stop your mother! You can't hear the TV!"
"No way! She wouldn't stop you if you watched a fishing competition at home. "
Fine, they were cowards, but the neighbors could still stop them.
...
Qin Guan's mother was not in her hometown, so she couldn't make traditional cold dishes like spiced smoked Spanish fish and salted black sausages. However, she could still make a big plate of Y City's specialty, a family portrait.
If the ultimate stew was Buddha jumps over the wall, and the most homely taste was Northeast stew, then Y City's family portrait would combine the advantages of both.
It was not as time-consuming and expensive as Buddha jumps over the wall, nor was it as cheap as Northeast stew.
It was a pleasure to watch Qin Guan's mother make a family portrait. Both Qin Guan and his father thought that only one family portrait would satisfy the three of them.
The ingredients used were not expensive, but there were many varieties. Qin Guan helped out in the kitchen and secretly learned from his mother. He steamed egg paste with less salt, cooled it, and cut it into thin strips.
He cut sea cucumber, pork belly, meatballs, luncheon meat, carrots, chicken breast, quail eggs, shrimps, and scallops. Then he used the white cut chicken broth to make it taste good.
When the fragrance of the scallion flowers wafted in the air, he put in the seasonings to enhance the freshness and put each ingredient into the pot. Then, he fished out each ingredient and spread it in a small basin-sized celadon bowl and arranged it in a beautiful flower-like shape. Then, he took out another pot and put a little salt, MSG, and cooking wine into the chicken soup. He brought it to a boil and thickened it. Then, he poured the soup into the bowl.
The main dishes of the New Year's Eve dinner, together with the usual three dishes of Y City during the New Year, Braised Yellow Croaker, Fried Prawns, Fushan Roast Chicken, and Spanish Mackerel dumplings with stuffing, were ready.
The three of them had a great time. Qin Guan's parents were still happy, even though they had left their friends behind. It was a new experience. When a fledgling grew up, it would leave the nest. Before it flew away, its parents wanted to spend more time with it.
The custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve was long gone. Qin Guan's family still had the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala. The sound of firecrackers outside the house was sporadic. Soon, firecrackers would be banned.
When the host read the New Year's Eve bell, they all yawned and went to bed.
Happy times always flashed by. The New Year flew by quickly. Qin Guan saw his parents off and his eyes filled with tears as he watched the green car drive away. Am I a little sentimental?
Tears could not be tolerated in reality. In the first semester of the New Year's Eve, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" by Zhang Jizhong was broadcast on CCTV 8.
The news of the character swapping and the actor getting injured had just quietened down, but with the popularity of the drama, it was once again stirred up.
Some people were disappointed, while others were cheering. The cast and crew were being criticized. Not to mention how Ling Huchong and the other strong supporters of the original novel were not satisfied with Director Zhang's casting and the actors' performances, but as the plot progressed, some of the more interesting supporting roles became more popular.
Qin Guan could feel the troubles the TV series had brought him through the ambiguous gazes of the boys on campus.
If Zhang Changzong was admired by women, then Yang Lianting, who was different from ordinary people, had actually attracted a bunch of scary, weird fans for him.
Every time he went to the library, he would meet a boy in a red coat holding a needle and thread in his hand. What did he want to say to him?
Every time he went out in the evening, he would see the boy embroidering in the woods with a tender expression. It was horrible!
When Qin Guan tried to communicate with him, he would look back at him with a shy and charming expression and run away quickly. Qin Guan thought that maybe he was just playing a pantomime.
Wng Lei had a different opinion. He believed that the man must have been frightened by Qin Guan's hormones and had to run away.
The combat power of these male fans was already so terrifying, not to mention those fujoshis who had already exploded in their nest.
There was a kind of strong fighting power on the Internet: fujoshis, who were always full of gay love.
No matter how normal the plot was, in their eyes, they could find countless points of excitement, not to mention this kind of drama that was full of gay love.
Although Invincible East was played by a woman, she had been a professional singer since she was a child, which made her look androgynous. The girls also felt immersed in the role.
Dying in the arms of the shockingly handsome Yang Lianting, this kind of imagination was simply like a fairyland.
Besides, Invincible East had flirted with Linghu Chong.
In the end, their love had touched the hero and heroine and fulfilled their wish to die together. Plus, this year was a good year for the Love Alliance.
On January 1, 2001, the Netherlands had become the first country to legally recognize same-sex marriage. So, you all know where the passion of this group of crazy fans comes from.
Actually, that was fine for Qin Guan. He was familiar with the campus environment, so he was just a supporting character on the street. People would only think he looked familiar, so it wouldn't affect Qin Guan's life much.
Ye Dong was the one who had caused the most trouble. In order to be elected president of the Student Union before graduation, he had resorted to all means.
He had submitted his application for the 39th Capital High School Sports Meet to his roommates. No one from Group C of the University of Finance and Economics had signed up, so he had shamelessly applied to be the flag bearer of the team.
