Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 82: Little Aunt 0
Chapter 82
Song Anan had quite an appetite, but compared to this half-grown boy Qi Mushui, the amount she ate seemed a little lacking.
"Is this enough? Should I go buy some more?" After finishing her meal, seeing that Qi Mushui showed no sign of putting down his chopsticks, Song Anan tentatively asked.
Qi Mushui quickly nodded, "Auntie Song, I still want to eat the featured clay pot rice from that window over there."
Song Anan passed him her meal card, "Eat whatever you want, go buy it yourself."
"Ok!" Qi Mushui took the meal card and scurried away happily.
Watching his fading figure, Song Anan smiled and shook her head.
In her eyes, Qi Mushui was still the same as last year. Although he looked much more grown up, he was still that little brat, not much different from when she first met him.
But how would Song Anan know, the little brat in her eyes was actually a cool teenager at school!
She retracted her gaze, and happened to see the screen of her phone on the table light up. Picking it up, it was a message from Pei Kuang.
"What are you and Mushui doing? Have you eaten?"
Song Anan casually replied: "I'm done eating, Mushui went to buy more food again. I underestimated his appetite and ordered too little."
Pei Kuang's reply came almost instantly: "A little envious."
Song Anan was puzzled, what's there to be envious about?
"Texted the wrong person?" she tentatively asked.
Pei Kuang: "No, I'm just chatting with you."
Song Anan: "Then what are you envious of?"
Pei Kuang: "Sigh, envious that he can openly swipe your meal card. Unlike me, I still had to sneak over furtively last time, taking advantage when there weren't many people around late at night."
Song Anan: "......"
Qi Mushui came back with the clay pot rice he had been thinking about, and happened to see Song Anan smiling while replying to a message, looking very happy.
He casually asked, "Auntie Song, who are you texting with?"
Without thinking too much, Song Anan responded, "Pei Kuang."
Qi Mushui was a little surprised, "Brother Pei Kuang? Do you guys text often?"
Song Anan hesitated, "I guess so."
Qi Mushui let out an "oh", and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Auntie Song, are you and Brother Pei Kuang dating?"
Song Anan looked incredulous, "Who, who told you that?"
Qi Mushui waved his hand, "No one told me, I just saw you guys have a cp online. I browsed through your cp fanclub once when I was bored, and those cp fans really went all out, I almost believed them."
Mentioning the cp fanclub between her and Pei Kuang, Song Anan's first thought was those photoshopped pictures, as well as some made-up little stories.
"Don't go looking at those, they're just talking nonsense."
Qi Mushui smiled and said, "I knew they were just making things up. You and Brother Pei Kuang have a relationship like ours, how could you possibly be dating!"
Of course, this was also a joy unique between guys.
Just like him and a few of his good buddies, they would often joke around competing over seniority, all eager to become the other's father!
Song Anan didn't really understand. She really couldn't think of a reason why Linchuan would object.
After sending Qi Mushui off in the afternoon, Song Anan went back to the dormitory.
Li Sirui also had a day off today, and happened to be lazing around in the dorm too. Song Anan put the things Qi Mushui brought for her on the table.
She told Li Sirui, "Eat whatever you want, Mushi brought them."
Li Sirui didn't stand on ceremony either, and scurried to dig through the bag, "Great, I didn't eat lunch, I'm starving. You came at just the right time."
Song Anan casually asked, "How come you didn't eat?"
Li Sirui waved her hand, "Too lazy to go downstairs."
"Plus, you guys weren't here either, no one to go to the cafeteria with. So lonely."
Song Anan thought about it, and figured she'd probably also be too lazy to go down if she was alone in the dorm.
"Sent your nephew away?" Li Sirui asked.
Song Anan lightly nodded, sprawling limply on the chair, "He still has tutoring classes this afternoon, just sent him off."
Li Sirui let out an "oh", and didn't ask anything more.
Song Anan pondered for a long time, still unable to make sense of Qi Mushui's words. She could only turn to Li Sirui for advice.
"Sirui, let me ask you something."
Li Sirui was eating happily, didn't even lift her head, "Go ahead."
Song Anan thought about it, and hesitantly said, "It's about me and Pei Kuang. Do you think I should tell Linchuan about it now?"
Hearing this, Li Sirui immediately perked up, eyes shining as she looked at her, "What do you think?"
Song Anan said helplessly, "I didn't think much of it originally, was going to tell him after he finishes filming this drama and comes back.
"But listening to what Mushi said today, that Linchuan would definitely object if he found out, and might even beat up Pei Kuang, I'm hesitating now."
Li Sirui was stunned for a moment, "What! Qi Mushui knows about you and Pei Kuang dating?"
Song Anan shook her head, "He doesn't know, he just said he saw our cp online."
Li Sirui breathed a sigh of relief. She had seen Qi Mushui once when he came to find Song Anan before. This kid didn't look like someone who could keep a secret.
If he knew, Linchuan would probably find out soon too. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀𝓮𝒷𝘯𝓸𝓋𝓮𝘭.𝓬𝓸𝘮
"Do you think Linchuan really would beat up Pei Kuang if he knew?" Song Anan asked.
Li Sirui nodded heavily, very definitively saying, "I think he would, the chances are eight or nine out of ten that it would be a severe beating!"
With how protective Linchuan was of his baby sister, if he knew Pei Kuang had seduced Song Anan away, he would definitely explode on the spot.
Not to mention the indignity of a good brother becoming a little uncle.
Let's just put it this way, Pei Kuang couldn't escape this beating.
What Qi Mushui said, Li Sirui was saying too. This time, Song Anan was really panicking.
She had always been worried about her feelings being discovered, but Pei Kuang didn't like her back, it would make things difficult for everyone. But she had never thought of this.
"What should I do?" Song Anan asked.
In order to protect the cp she shipped, Li Sirui racked her brains.
She thought hard for a good while, before suggesting, "I think you can be more tactful about it, don't rush to tell Song Linchuan. Let him discover some clues himself first, then slowly reveal the truth."
Song Anan frowned slightly, "Let him discover it slowly himself?"
Li Sirui nodded, "That's right. Think about it, in this gradual process, he's also mentally prepared to some extent. It would be easier for him to accept when the time comes..."
-
Qi Mushui coming to Song Anan's university, the two didn't hide anything the whole way, and people had already noticed them.
Although Qi Mushui hadn't appeared much online since participating in that variety show, his looks stood out.
A fifteen or sixteen year old boy, tall stature, handsome appearance, would attract attention anywhere, not to mention there was Song Anan beside him too.
So from the moment they met at the school gate, to the lecture hall, the cafeteria for lunch, and even when Qi Mushui left at last, photos and short videos of their encounter had long been uploaded to Weibo.
【OMG what's going on, don't tell me this is Auntie's boyfriend!】
【Ahhhhh he's so handsome, but looks young, can't be a high schooler right?】
【Not high school, probably in college. But it's hard to tell age accurately for guys this age.】
【Gosh, the two look so pleasing together, perfect campus romance male and female lead!】
【Song Anan isn't very old herself, normal for someone her age to date.】
【Shouldn't be from this university, he used the auntie's meal card to eat.】
【Wait! Why do I feel like this guy looks kind of familiar?】
【Haha, good-looking guys all look the same. Looking at eye candy is pleasing to the eye, and being pleasing to the eye makes them look familiar】
【Wuwuwuwu, is my auntie in love? I feel like my own cabbage has been dug up by a pig】
【Sister upstairs, you're not alone. A woman's prime years are precious, although we knew Auntie would fall in love one day, it's still hard to let go when the day really comes】
【Haha, if you guys are like this, how do you think Song Linchuan feels?】
【Song Linchuan is rushing over here with his 8-meter long butcher knife!】
【Hahahaha, imagining Song Linchuan having to call this young man 'uncle' is kind of hilarious】
【I know right! It really is too funny!】
...
Netizens were engaged in fiery discussion, and before long a topic #Rumored Mystery Boyfriend of Song Anan# made it to the hot search.
But at this moment, the microblog of actress Shi Qing made a post under this topic.
@Shi Qing: This microblog is posted on behalf of my son Qi Mushi. Please refer to the attached image for details.
The attached image was a screenshot of a memo.
The memo read: What mystery boyfriend? Open your eyes and look clearly, Auntie and I have a purely aunt-nephew relationship. Don't make trouble, just disperse, don't hinder our aunt-nephew affection!
Netizens: ???
So the boy in the photo is Qi Mushi!!
Right after this microblog, Shi Qing made another post.
@Shi Qing: I wish I had a daughter-in-law like Anan, but unfortunately the useless boy only wants to be her nephew. I have no choice but to reluctantly accept another niece!
Attached was a 'Venting from a frustrated mother' meme.
【Wow, so this boy is actually Qi Mushi. I knew he looked kind of familiar. Kids grow up so fast, he's becoming more and more handsome!】
【You're right, his eyebrows and eyes do resemble Shi Qing a lot. No wonder he's so good looking, with genes like his mom, it'd be weird if he wasn't handsome】
【LMAO Qi Mushi is too funny. What does he mean by 'purely aunt-nephew relationship'? Asking netizens not to ruin their aunt-nephew affection? I'm dying】
【Hahahaha you can really feel Shi Qing's resentment. Her ideal daughter-in-law becoming a niece, no wonder she has to shed tears】
【It's been a year since the variety show recordings. Didn't realize they were still so close】
【Of course, in the past two years Song Linchuan and Director Qi and Actress Shi have collaborated a lot. I remember Qi Mushi also visited Song Anan at B University before?】
【Did you guys notice, the lecture Song Anan took Qi Mushi to was about artificial intelligence. Don't tell me Qi Mushi is really planning to develop in that direction?】
【Most likely, my neighbor's younger brother is classmates with Qi Mushi. He said currently his grades are very good, he was one of the dark horses in their grade back in junior high】
【No way, Qi Mushi has been so lowkey these years, didn't expect he actually rose from academically mediocre to excelling】
【As expected, hanging out with top students does subtly influence you】
【Haha, last time Pei Kuang used Auntie's meal card to buy milk tea, Song Linchuan immediately said when he got home that he's going to the B University cafeteria to eat expensive stuff. Who knew Qi Mushi would beat him to it】
【I have to say, all of you staring at Auntie's meal card, don't you feel bad at all? I advise you not to go overboard!】
【Wuwuwuwu, did you guys see the photo of Song Anan passing her meal card to Qi Mushi? It's like the real life version of the pretty sister treating others to a meal】
【What is this dream team crossover... I already shipped Qi Mushi and Song Anan's aunt-nephew pairing a lot watching the show last year, didn't expect there to be follow-up】
【That's right, now that they've clarified, randomly shipping them would be impolite】
【Ahhhhh I have no self-control, I'm going to ship them all over the place】
【Waaahhh this confirms that the Pei An cp is real right, it's set in stone now right?】
【Sister upstairs are you ok, you've got the wrong place. What does this have to do with Pei Kuang, what nonsense stone setting】
【How is it unrelated? As soon as the Qi Mushi and Auntie scandal came out, he immediately came out to clarify. That's how a proper nephew should be. But have you ever seen Pei Kuang clarify that [Pei An cp] is fake? If this isn't set in stone then what is!】
【This works too? Umm...I don't get it but I'm greatly shocked!!】
【Hahahaha cp fans' logic is beyond normal people's comprehension, just let them entertain themselves】
At Pei Kuang's home.
Li Dong came over to discuss some work matters with him.
In the middle, Pei Kuang took a call out on the balcony. With nothing to do, Li Dong picked up his phone and opened Weibo.
Out of habit he clicked into the hot search page, and was scrolling when he suddenly froze. "Woah! What's the deal with this hot search?"
Pei Kuang had just come back in from his call on the balcony. "What hot search?"
Li Dong looked up and held out his phone in front of him. "Rumored Mystery Boyfriend of Song Anan, are they talking about Auntie?"
Pei Kuang was visibly startled. He took the phone and clicked into the topic. After getting clear on what happened, he silently let out a breath of relief.
"It was Mushi who went to visit Anan at her school and got photographed by people." He gave the phone back to Li Dong. "Nothing to worry about, it's been clarified already."
At first Li Dong didn't react to who Mushi was, but after reading through it he figured it out.
"Oh, so it's Director Qi's kid."
He casually tapped open a photo netizens took of Song Anan and Qi Mushi in the cafeteria.
"Can't argue with that, this kid is really good looking. Standing with Auntie they look quite well-matched. I heard he doesn't plan to enter the entertainment industry either, and wants to get into B University too. Maybe the two could really end up together in the future."
Pei Kuang glanced over at him. "Li Dong, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Li Dong was still looking down scrolling through the phone, not paying much attention. "What is it?"
Pei Kuang said lightly, "I'm in a relationship now."
Li Dong: "!!!"
