It happened that year, Sister Sa went to her third aunt's house for Lunar New Year and saw her cousin bringing her boyfriend home. This boyfriend was none other than Xiao Hei.
At that moment, Sister Sa was completely stunned. While the relatives were chatting, Sister Sa pulled him aside and quietly asked, "Aren't you the Daiyu of the gay community? Why do you have a girlfriend?"
Xiao Hei felt like he was about to crack upon hearing this, and stammered, "I'm straight. When did I become gay?"
Now it was Sister Sa's turn to be bewildered.
After a conversation, Sister Sa realized she had made a huge mistake.
Perhaps it was because of the many gay people she had encountered before, coupled with that bottle of Zhenwo perfume, that made Sister Sa think Xiao Hei was gay. She had lamented multiple times, what a great guy, why was he...
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Sister Sa felt both embarrassed and a bit jealous. She asked if he was really with her cousin.
Xiao Hei shook his head and denied it. He said he and Sister Sa's cousin were not boyfriend and girlfriend. It was because both their parents were terrifyingly pushing for marriage and had given them an ultimatum: if they didn't bring a boyfriend (girlfriend) back that year, they shouldn't bother coming home for the New Year.
It just so happened that Sister Sa's cousin and Xiao Hei were classmates, and neither of them was married. They thought of helping each other out: I'll pretend to be your boyfriend, and you pretend to be my girlfriend, to deal with our respective parents.
After Xiao Hei finished pretending to be a boyfriend, he was going to take Sister Sa's cousin to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, Sister Sa's cousin hadn't been home for a long time. She ate too many fried foods made by her mother, got a stomachache, and went to the hospital for an IV drip. She couldn't go back with Xiao Hei, so she asked Sister Sa to help her make the trip.
Sister Sa agreed and went back to Xiao Hei's hometown with him.
Xiao Hei's parents were quite nice. Unfortunately, they had a bunch of difficult relatives. Every time they visited relatives during Lunar New Year, they would be sarcastic, saying that so-and-so's child bought a house, so-and-so's family bought a car, and so-and-so earned a lot of money this year.
Sister Sa smiled insincerely, opened her mouth, and made them doubt their very existence.
Her words conveyed only one meaning: capable parents praise themselves, only those who are useless always praise other people's children.
Whether it was when they were children or now, most people hated "other people's children" mentioned by their parents.
Why always mention other people's children?
Why not mention other people's parents?
Parents are the first teachers of a child. What kind of parents, raise what kind of child.
Other people's children are outstanding because they have outstanding parents, who have taught them through words and deeds for many years.
Look at their own families, they still have the nerve to brag about other people's children. Aren't they ashamed?
Xiao Hei had interacted with Sister Sa for a long time and knew she was impulsive and had a quick temper. He didn't expect her to be so fierce when arguing, and he was immediately smitten.
The next year for Lunar New Year, Xiao Hei asked Sister Sa again to pretend to be his girlfriend and go home to deal with his parents.
Through this repeated interaction, they turned their pretense into reality and actually got together.
The year Sister Sa's daughter was born was exactly when Jiang Ling retired from the entertainment industry. This year marks her sixteenth birthday.
"Sixteen years? It's been sixteen years so quickly," Jiang Ling sighed.
"Yes, time flies too fast!" Jian Zhou sighed. "It all feels like yesterday."
When the Weibo post was published, the evening rush hour had ended. Office workers were off work, lying on their sofas playing with their phones and browsing news.
As soon as this blog post came out, the fan groups exploded, everyone looking bewildered.
"Is it real or fake?"
"Did our goddess's account get hacked?"
