Qin Guan retreated to his dormitory. He picked up a pen and wrote six graceful characters on the bucket, "Niulanshan Erguotou" [1].
Then he threw the pen to Liu Xiaoyang, ready to fool the inspectors with his acting skills.
The pen hit Liu on the forehead, leaving a large dot there. Dear Qin Guan, you are only pretending to be calm. You are actually frightened. You forgot to put the cap on the pen.
As Qin Guan was approaching the inspectors, he whispered to himself, "Keep calm! You’re a brave boy!"
His legs were not trembling.
As he was about to brush past them, a girl in the inspection group asked, "Senior Qin, is that you?"
The question attracted the tutors’ attention. She was staring at the bucket. This looks like alcohol!
"What's this?"
Qin Guan looked at her with his most innocent expression. "It’s for the crew. I’m a green hand, so I have to get close to them."
