Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 102

Pei Kuang looked at Song Linchuan and glanced at the drinks and straw on the coffee table, and suddenly felt somewhat helpless.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell the truth.

Seeing his reaction, Song Linchuan was confused and said impatiently, "What's with that expression? Do you think I'm childish?"

Pei Kuang waved his hand and laughed, "I don't think you're childish, I just want to correct something for you."

Song Linchuan glanced at him impatiently, "Just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Pei Kuang suppressed his laughter, bent over to pick up the straw, then turned around and plugged it into the can of Coke.

Song Linchuan clearly didn't understand, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? This straw is obviously not used like this. It has two straws on this end, do I need to use two mouths..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and his expression instantly froze.

Pei Kuang said with amusement, "This is called a couple's straw."

Song Linchuan's face turned pitch black, and after a long pause he squeezed out, "Damn!"

"Friendly reminder," Pei Kuang said lightly, "You should consider whether you want to go delete your Weibo now."

Song Linchuan glared at him fiercely.

He didn't even need to think about it to know what everyone was mocking him for online.

But deleting it was useless anyway, those who saw it had already seen it.

To put it this way, for celebrities as famous as him and Pei Kuang, even if they posted on Weibo and deleted it immediately, someone would have taken a screenshot.

Song Linchuan irritably ran a hand through his hair and took out his anger by saying, "What the hell did you buy this piece of crap straw for when you're so free?"

Pei Kuang just shrugged and didn't continue to provoke him.

In the end, Song Linchuan decided to pretend nothing had happened.

Absolutely not deleting it!

Otherwise it would make him seem guilty.

He could use whatever straws he wanted, and nobody could control him!

Besides, making a fool of himself online wasn't the first time anyway.

Looking at it another way, this was good too, it at least distracted people from the matter of him personally delivering his aunt to this bastard.

Humph!

As long as he didn't look at the mockery of him online, they couldn't mock him.

But Song Linchuan not looking didn't mean netizens would let him off...

[Hahahaha, Song Linchuan will laugh me to death sooner or later. Is he really that oblivious or just pretending?]

[It's obvious he has no idea. Look at what he wrote, that proud tone, bragging about discovering an amazing straw. Hahaha, confirmed lifelong single!]

[Oh my god, I can't stop laughing. My silly brother, what an idiot. No, I have to hurry and screenshot this before he realizes and deletes his Weibo.]

[Holy crap! What a jokester this Song Linchuan is. Did he switch to a career in comedy?]

[Um...let me timidly ask, what are you all laughing about?]

[Hahahaha, must be a lonely single like Song Linchuan! Come, let me demonstrate how to use this straw, see photo below.]

[Song Linchuan: Tell me, I'm using it right! Say it!!!]

[As a Song Linchuan fan, I feel this is just a small matter, everything embarrassing that happens to my idol makes sense.]

[Oh my god, if I'm not seeing things, this is Pei Kuang's living room. It showed up before when he posted on Weibo, exactly the same!]

[Holy crap, it really is! So Song Linchuan is at Pei Kuang's place? Then that straw must have been bought by Uncle and Pei Kuang!]

[Fuck! I've struck gold with laughter today, Song Linchuan is kind of pitiful.]

[Hahahaha, Song Linchuan doesn't need to pity those two poor men. We're rich people, arrogantly drinking two beverages by himself, just like that!]

After going public with her relationship, Song Anan once again became the focus at school for a period of time. But with experience appearing on variety shows before, she was long used to it already.

That day, Song Anan went to Jing Wenjin's office.

"Professor, here are the materials you asked me to prepare earlier. Please take a look and let me know if I need to add anything." Song Anan handed over a stack of documents.

Jing Wenjin took the documents and replied, "Okay, I'll take a look later and message you if I have any questions."

Song Anan responded with an "Oh", then said, "Then I'll get going first if nothing else."

Jing Wenjin waved his hand. "No rush, I have something else I want to ask you."

Song Anan blinked. "What is it, Professor?"

Jing Wenjin asked with a smile, "Anan, I wouldn't have guessed you really started dating?"

Hearing it was about this, Song Anan instantly felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head, "Yeah, I'm dating."

Jing Wenjin asked again, "You'll be going abroad for two years. Does your boyfriend support it?"

Song Anan nodded. "He supports me."

"That's good if he supports you." Jing Wenjin said jokingly, "Looking at the photos online, the young man is quite handsome. You have good taste."

Teased like that, Song Anan felt rather shy and hurriedly left the office.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she bumped right into Jing Fan.

Song Anan paused for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Jing Fan, are you here to see the professor too?"

Jing Fan lightly murmured in agreement, "Uncle said he needed to see me for something."

Song Anan nodded. "The professor is inside, go on in."

With that said, she nodded slightly at Jing Fan and left.

Jing Fan watched Song Anan's departing figure for a while before turning and entering Jing Wenjin's office.

"Did you run into Anan out there?" Jing Wenjin asked.

Jing Fan nodded. "Yeah, we met at the door."

Jing Wenjin patted Jing Fan on the shoulder. "Forget it. Anan has a boyfriend now. They seem very much in love. You should rein in your feelings as well."

Jing Fan paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and nodded.

In fact, he should have realized long ago. Ever since he confessed to her, Song Anan had kept her distance. What else did he not understand?

He was just a little unwilling to give up. As long as she was single, he still had a chance.

But now, it was indeed time to let go. Otherwise, after Song Anan graduated, if they both worked at the same hospital, was he going to make her avoid him forever?

The preparations for going abroad were almost complete.

At the end of May, Song Anan's 21st birthday soon arrived.

Because of work, Song Zhenhui and Zhao Ya were unable to return from overseas. Song Linchuan was also tied up on a drama set.

Luckily Pei Kuang had just wrapped up shooting his latest film, so he could accompany her to celebrate her birthday.

However, they didn't plan on spending the day alone as a couple.

With Song Anan leaving the country next month, she wanted to take this chance to gather with her roommates, and also introduce them to Pei Kuang.

There was always a rule in their dormitory that whenever one of them had a boyfriend, they had to bring him out for a big meal with everyone.

Before going public, it was fine, but now that they were open about the relationship, Song Anan naturally had to follow the rule. So after discussing with the others, they decided to just set it on her birthday.

On Song Anan's birthday, Pei Kuang booked a private room at a high-end restaurant in advance.

Except for Li Sirui, this was Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi's first time meeting Pei Kuang in person, so they were curious but also a little nervous.

Curious because, in Cheng Ke's words, this was the first time meeting a real live celebrity.

As for feeling nervous, it was because this celebrity was Song Anan's boyfriend, so as her friends they were afraid of embarrassing her.

Therefore, from the moment the three entered the private room, they had been highly strung.

Seeing their posture of "grace, poise and dignity", Song Anan was the first to crack up laughing.

She asked jokingly, "Isn't that tiring for you?"

Cai Xiaodi silently glared at her.

Of course it was tiring! Ungrateful girl, didn't they do it for her sake?

Li Sirui was the first to snap. She said recklessly, "Fine, we were originally trying to make a good impression for you, wanting to put on a bit of a front. Yet here you are overturning the field right from the start."

Seeing this, Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi gave up on pretending as well.

Pei Kuang chuckled, "We're all friends here, no need to be overly polite."

"Besides, shouldn't I be the nervous one?"

The three women exchanged a look, immediately grasping the same thought from each other's eyes.

That's right, the purpose of their meeting today was also to screen him on Song Anan's behalf. The one who should feel nervous is him.

Thinking this, the three instantly straightened their backs.

Pei Kuang was always at ease in this kind of situation. He chatted a few words and soon put several people at ease.

The atmosphere in the private room also relaxed.

The waiter brought the dishes up quickly, and everyone chatted while eating.

Of course, Song Anan and the other girls did most of the chatting. Pei Kuang sat next to Song Anan the whole time, occasionally picking food for her.

When the topic fell on him, he would chat a few sentences.

After the meal, Pei Kuang brought the cake next to him, lit the candles, sang happy birthday, Song Anan made a wish and blew out the candles - the whole process went smoothly.

After Li Sirui and the others had given their gifts, Pei Kuang also took out a handbag.

Just as they thought he was going to give the gift to Song Anan, he unexpectedly took out three gift boxes from inside and placed them in front of Li Sirui, Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi.

The three were stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.

Li Sirui tentatively asked, "This is a birthday gift for Anan, you want us to vet it?"

Pei Kuang smiled and shook his head, "I've already given Anan her birthday present. These are gifts for you."

The three were surprised, "You also prepared gifts for us?"

Pei Kuang lightly hummed in agreement, "I've always heard Anan say you've taken good care of her. She picked the styles. Consider it a little token from Anan and me."

Cheng Ke quickly waved her hands, embarrassed, "No need, no need, we're just doing what we should."

Pei Kuang didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Song Anan, signaling her to persuade them.

Song Anan looked at the three with a smile and said, "Just take them, they're four matching bracelets, now our dorm has couple bracelets too."

As she spoke, she also lifted her own wrist, "See, I have one too. We can all wear the same in the future."

Li Sirui knew this brand, it was a light luxury label.

Their things weren't too expensive, but weren't exactly cheap either. Accepting them wouldn't be a big deal.

You could see the gift-giver had put thought into it.

Li Sirui looked at Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi and said, "Since this is the case, let's accept them."

The two nodded. With Song Anan putting it like that, it would be impolite for them to continue refusing.

The three thanked Pei Kuang, then put away the gifts.

After receiving the gifts, they started on the cake. There was still time, so no one was in a hurry. They chatted while eating.

The topic went to Song Anan going abroad.

Cai Xiaodi had drunk a bit more earlier and was now starting to feel it. Hearing this topic, she couldn't help but think of when her ex-boyfriend had gone abroad and said the relationship had faded, leading to their breakup.

She suddenly turned to look at Pei Kuang and said, "When Anan goes abroad, you'll be in a long distance relationship. Those are hard to maintain. You have to make an effort to see her often. We understand Anan well, she has a simple personality and devotes herself fully to love, so you..."

She paused, then said, "You absolutely can't let her down."

This was Cai Xiaodi's biggest worry after finding out Song Anan was going abroad and had started dating - she just blurted it out under the influence of alcohol.

Pei Kuang paused. He suddenly understood - this must be the roommate Song Anan mentioned before whose boyfriend had gone abroad and then said the relationship had faded, leading to their breakup.

Li Sirui and Cheng Ke looked at each other, then hurriedly pulled Cai Xiaodi, whispering, "Xiaodi, why are you saying this stuff?"

Although they knew she meant well, talking about this now was clearly inappropriate. The two of them were doing well, so why bring up long distance relationships being hard to maintain?

And accusing Pei Kuang of possibly letting her down made him seem like a scumbag.

If she had anything to say, she should have told Song Anan privately.

Li Sirui said awkwardly, "Sorry about that, she didn't mean anything else, just..."

Pei Kuang smiled at them and said, "It's alright."

"Don't worry, it won't be a long distance relationship. I'll go over too."

The three: "???"

Song Anan turned to look at Pei Kuang, completely surprised.

He would go over too.

What did that mean?!
