Chapter 33: Little Aunt.033
Chapter 33
Pei Kuang was stunned for a moment.
Why was little auntie doing this so early in the morning?
Suddenly sending him a 'good person card' out of the blue?
But when he met her worried, concerned gaze, Pei Kuang suddenly understood.
She already knew about it all.
Well, it wasn't that surprising that she found out, since it had caused quite a stir online.
Last night before going to bed, several negative hashtag trends about him suddenly popped up on Weibo, repeating the usual old claims - that he was unworthy of his position, had low education and poor acting skills, and bad character, etc.
In summary, that he was no good, unworthy of his top status or so many fans, and would crash and burn sooner or later.
As for who was behind it, it could have been rival agencies, or industry competitors.
Over the years, Pei Kuang had long grown used to this, and didn't take it too seriously. Li Dong would handle it.
No one else could judge whether he deserved it or not. He didn't need to prove anything to anyone, just focus on improving himself.
To some extent, that was simply the nature of the industry. If you couldn't change it, you just had to adapt. Pei Kuang had never had the habit of fretting over things pointlessly.
So, was Song Anan subtly trying to comfort him about the online drama?
Telling him directly: you're great, you really are great!
Little auntie's way of comforting was really clumsy yet direct.
It was kind of cute in a silly way.
Pei Kuang laughed softly and asked, "Am I really that good?"
Song Anan nodded heavily, completely serious.
Pei Kuang raised an eyebrow. "Compared to Song Linchuan?"
Song Anan was taken aback. Why was he suddenly bringing up Song Linchuan?
But she considered it carefully before replying, "I think you two are pretty evenly matched."
Evenly matched?
Pei Kuang laughed out loud.
Not bad water-carrying skills.
"Oh?" Pei Kuang continued asking. "How exactly are we 'evenly matched'?"
Song Anan was confused for a few seconds, then started counting off seriously on her fingers, "Specifically, you and Linchuan are both very outstanding and motivated, and good-looking too."
Outstanding, motivated, and handsome.
He didn't expect his standing to be so high in little auntie's eyes, on the same level as Song Linchuan.
Tsk, if Song Linchuan found out about this, he'd probably come hopping over on one leg.
Pei Kuang raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased. "Anything else?"
Song Anan frowned.
Anything else?
Wasn't that enough praise already?
"Uh...also, you're both very thoughtful!"
Seeing little auntie's completely earnest expression, Pei Kuang was overcome by a wave of amusement.
Thoughtful?
Alright, the feeling of déjà vu was getting stronger.
"Are you really being honest, or just trying to flatter me?" Pei Kuang laughed.
Song Anan didn't hesitate at all. "Of course it's true!"
Pei Kuang let out a meaningful "oh". "Then why don't you follow me?"
Song Anan was taken aback. "Huh?"
Follow what?
Pei Kuang smiled. "I mean, why do you only follow Linchuan on Weibo, and not me?"
Song Anan blinked blankly, not quite understanding. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
Where did this suddenly come from?
Pei Kuang shrugged. "No choice, the netizens are all laughing at me."
Song Anan was still confused. "Laughing at what?"
Pei Kuang faltered.
What else could they laugh at, other than him being unfilial?
But he really couldn't bring himself to say the word 'filial' out loud.
Pei Kuang directly took out his phone and opened a page, then handed it to Song Anan.
"See for yourself."
Song Anan took the phone, baffled. When she saw the huge number of unread messages in his Weibo DMs, her eyes widened in shock.
It triggered her OCD.
What Song Anan didn't know was that her own Weibo DMs were also blowing up massively, she just hadn't noticed yet.
[Hahahaha, Pei Kuang you're hopeless. You're both auntie's nephews, yet she only follows Song Linchuan on Weibo and not you!]
[Still a long road ahead to succeed as auntie's nephew. Pei Kuang, you gotta work harder. Let's start with the small goal of getting auntie to follow your Weibo!]
[You know why auntie doesn't follow you right, tsk tsk, obviously because you're unfilial!]
...
Seeing the messages on Pei Kuang's phone, Song Anan strangely felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who started this whole filial issue.
But if she said she didn't even follow Song Linchuan, would he believe her?
She barely paid any attention to Weibo in the first place. It was just for show.
After thinking for a few seconds, Shi Qing still felt they should talk it out properly.
But out of respect for her son's privacy, she purposefully avoided looking directly as she walked over and sat down across from Qi MuShi.
However, if she had taken a look, the misunderstanding that followed would not have happened.
"Mu Shi, although your mother is very open-minded, you must understand one thing. The most powerless thing for a man is to meet a girl who wants to take care of him for life when he is at his most helpless age," Shi Qing said solemnly.
[Hahahaha, I'm really going to die of laughter, Shi Qing's mind is really different from ordinary people]
[Oh my God! What does meeting a girl who wants to take care of you for life when you are at your most helpless age mean? Shi Qing is so funny]
[I can't stop laughing, Shi Qing must have read too many youthful sentimental novels]
[Qi MuShi: Mom, are you okay?]
[Before watching this show, I always thought Shi Qing was an aloof fairy untainted by the mundane world, I didn't expect her to be so silly and funny in real life]
[Shi Qing: I can't help it, who told me to give birth to a troublesome son]
Qi MuShi lifted his head from the sea of exercise books, looking at Shi Qing with a face full of question marks.
What's going on here?
"Mom, I'm busy doing exercise books, if you haven't woken up properly you can go back to sleep."
Don't make it more confusing.
This question is really difficult.
Shi Qing: "???"
Doing exercise books?
Not writing love letters!
"You're doing exercise books?!" Shi Qing instinctively looked at the desk
She did see several exercise books on it.
Qi MuShi nodded, "Yes, what else?"
Shi Qing paused first, then couldn't help but roll her eyes.
What else could it be other than exercise books, why insist on saying 'writing my sister-in-law's feelings', causing misunderstandings.
Oh wait!
"Didn't you finish your homework already?" Shi Qing asked puzzledly.
She clearly remembered that Qi MuShi didn't bring any homework when he came this time.
Qi MuShi couldn't help but sigh, and told Shi Qing the whole story of Song Anan giving him the exercise books.
Shi Qing: "..."
Let him brag.
Serves him right!
Shi Qing flipped through the exercise books on the table, "You're not planning to do them all, are you?"
Qi MuShi replied, "Yes, my aunt specially went to select them for me, if I don't do them, wouldn't I be letting her down?"
Shi Qing nodded as well, "That makes sense, with Linchuan injured this time, Anan must have been busy, yet she still took the time to go to the bookstore and choose exercise books for you, you should do them properly."
Qi MuShi nodded heavily.
Seeing her son's diligence, Shi Qing felt a sense of gratification.
Just before leaving, she suddenly asked, "By the way, where did you get this pen?"
Qi MuShi replied, "I went next door to the villa to borrow it from the crew this morning."
Shi Qing: "..."
Is this still the brat who would yell that he couldn't do homework without a pen even if it wasn't handed to him!
You see, learning does require motivation.
*
Since everyone wakes up at different times, we agreed last night to have lunch and dinner together, and prepare breakfast on our own.
Because Song Anan really didn't sleep well, she was yawning hard enough to almost flip the sky when she went out for a walk with Pei Kuang this morning.
As soon as they got back to the villa, Pei Kuang sent her back to her room to sleep.
Although she returned to her room, Song Anan didn't actually fall asleep. She lay on the bed, her mind full of Pei Kuang and Xie Yin's affair.
Sigh, she had never been so distressed in this life.
No! Not even in her previous life.
Although Song Linchuan's situation looked more serious than Pei Kuang's at the time, she had a way to deal with it back then.
If Song Linchuan met Xie Yin, she just had to prevent them from meeting and pull the storyline apart.
But Pei Kuang's situation was clearly different! Their story had been going on for so long, it wasn't something she could pull him back from just by trying to give him a hand.
But if she did nothing, Song Anan felt bad about it too.
Let alone anything else, Pei Kuang was Song Linchuan's good friend and had treated her well too, she really couldn't just stand by and watch.
But if not standing by, then what should she do? Song Anan didn't have a clue.
Until Pei Kuang came to call her for breakfast, she still hadn't figured it out.
Seeing the breakfast on the table, Song Anan's heart sank a few more points.
Xie Yin had just said at dinner yesterday that she preferred Western food, and he had made sandwiches first thing in the morning today.
She looked gloomily at Pei Kuang.
Sigh, Li Sirui was right after all.
Affectionate people are often easily disappointed.
Pei Kuang was puzzled, but didn't think much of it, only assuming that she hadn't slept well.
But if he knew Song Anan's mental activity, he would definitely have laughed out loud on the spot.
It was someone last night who said she wanted sandwiches for breakfast!
