Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 1

In a staircase classroom in Building B of the university, the teacher on the podium was giving an enthusiastic lecture for an elective course in the second semester of the sophomore year. Song Anan was absent-mindedly propping her chin with one hand, gazing out at the sky through the window.

Li Sirui, who was sitting next to her, noticed Song Anan's distraction from the corner of her eye and couldn't help but mutter, "Huh." It was rare to see the bookish Song Anan daydreaming in class.

Just as Li Sirui was about to say something, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. The teacher on the podium was efficient and didn't drag on.

As the students packed up their things, they chattered in groups of three or five and headed towards the cafeteria. Li Sirui was pulled aside by a classmate to discuss something, but when she turned back around, she saw that Song Anan was still gazing out the window in a daze, apparently unaware that class had ended.

This surprised Li Sirui even more. She raised her hand and poked Song Anan's arm. "Anan, what are you thinking about? You're so focused."

Song Anan turned her head and let out a confused "Ah." She looked around at her classmates with her long eyelashes fluttering and her bright starry eyes glistening. "Oh, class is over," she said softly, trailing off at the end.

Li Sirui couldn't help but cover her chest in surprise. She had once again been struck by Song Anan's cuteness. Although they had been classmates and roommates for two years, she still had no resistance to Song Anan's face.

When they first started university, Song Anan, who had just turned fifteen, had caused quite a stir among their classmates. It wasn't uncommon at a top-tier Chinese university like B University to have students who were several years younger than their peers, but what stood out about Song Anan was that she was so pretty.

Despite her young age, she had a delicate and lively face, with a small melon-seed-shaped face, big almond-shaped eyes, delicate features, and skin as smooth as a peeled egg. When she smiled, she had two shallow dimples that were both beautiful and harmless.

In addition to her innocent and cute nature, Song Anan also had a somewhat old-fashioned personality that made people want to protect her. Her roommates and classmates, who were all beautiful young women, had become like mothers to her, worrying about her constantly and trying to shield her from harm.

"Anan, why do people just love you so much?" Li Sirui sighed in amazement.

She couldn't help but tease Song Anan, who furrowed her brow and protested seriously, "Sirui, I'm not that young anymore." She had just turned seventeen last month, after all.

But for some reason, everyone always treated her like a child, which was a source of frustration for Song Anan. Li Sirui, who liked to tease her, tried to soothe her by saying, "That's right, you're not young, you'll be an adult next year."

Song Anan: "..."

She gave up and decided to let it go.

This was the last class of the morning, and the cafeteria was crowded with people. Li Sirui and Song Anan decided to head back to their dormitory first and wait until the crowd thinned out before going to eat.

On the way back to the dormitory, Li Sirui suddenly remembered that Song Anan seemed distracted during class and asked, "Anan, are you okay? You seem a bit off today."

Song Anan paused and shook her head, "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Li Sirui nodded and didn't pay too much attention, "Well, make sure to rest during lunch then."

Although Song Anan said she was fine, she still seemed distracted, lost in thought with her head down.

Li Sirui was a bit absent-minded herself, so she didn't notice Song Anan's behavior.

As they walked, Li Sirui suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Song Anan was startled and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Li Sirui quickly took out her phone and unlocked it, "There's a live stream of a brand's annual event at noon today, and many celebrities have been invited. My idol will be there too."

When Song Anan heard the name "Song Linchuan," she unconsciously turned to look at Li Sirui's phone screen and saw a familiar face.

It seemed like he was being interviewed by a reporter.

The reporter asked, "Teacher Song, you've just finished filming your new movie. What's your next plan?"

Song Linchuan looked indifferent and replied, "I have a few shoots lined up."

The reporter didn't seem satisfied and continued to ask, "Anything more special?"

Song Linchuan thought for a moment and said, "Something more special? Going home to spend time with my little aunt, does that count?"

The reporter hesitated for a moment and said, "...Sure."

Upon seeing this, Li Sirui couldn't help but sigh, "I knew it, he's definitely going to mention his little aunt again."

Although Li Sirui wasn't a fan of Song Linchuan herself, her idol used to be in a group with him, and they seemed to have a good relationship, so she was familiar with him.

Speaking of which, Song Linchuan was quite an oddball. While most people were "momma's boys," who would have thought he was a "aunt's boy"?

From the beginning of his career when he wasn't very famous, he would often talk about his little aunt. In his eyes, she was the best.

However, over time, even those who could see through his hype could tell that Song Linchuan wasn't just trying to create a persona. He really was someone who doted on his little aunt.

"This reporter is clearly not very familiar with the industry. Anyone who knows a bit about Song Linchuan knows that the first thing he does after finishing a movie is go home to see his little aunt," Li Sirui muttered.

"But I'm actually quite curious about who this little aunt of Song Linchuan's is," she added with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Song Anan paused and looked at Li Sirui, seemingly hesitant to say something.

Li Sirui's attention was fully focused on the live stream, so she didn't notice Song Anan's hesitation.

"Ah, Pei Kuang has finally arrived!! Wahhh, my Peipei looks so handsome in this outfit today, like a noble young master..."

Song Anan glanced at the man on the screen and then looked away.

Although she didn't usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she was familiar with Pei Kuang, whom Li Sirui liked. After all, she had heard Li Sirui talk about him almost every day during their university years.

"These shippers in the live chat are so annoying, why are they everywhere?" Li Sirui said irritably while watching the live stream.

Song Linchuan and Pei Kuang were currently the two hottest stars in the entertainment industry, with a huge fan base. Because they had debuted together as a group and had always had a good relationship in front of the camera, there were many shippers who shipped them together.

Li Sirui was Pei Kuang's biggest fan, so she naturally couldn't stand these shippers who were everywhere.

But as she watched the two of them on the screen, who seemed to be very familiar with each other, and read the messages from the shippers in the chat, she suddenly felt a bit uncertain.

"Could it be that Song Linchuan and Pei Kuang are really a couple?" she murmured.

After thinking seriously for a moment, she felt that their relationship seemed a bit too good.

Upon hearing this, Song Anan shook her head and replied confidently, "No."

Li Sirui was taken aback by Song Anan's response and asked, "What?"

"I mean, they don't have that kind of relationship," Song Anan explained.

After pausing for a moment, she added, "I think Song Linchuan likes girls."

Li Sirui blinked and asked skeptically, "How do you know that Song Linchuan likes girls?"

Song Anan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I..."

Li Sirui chuckled, "Okay, okay, I know you're just trying to comfort me. I won't tease you anymore."

She knew that Song Anan was not interested in celebrities and did not chase after them. There was no way she could know whether or not Song Linchuan liked girls. She was just trying to cheer her up with a white lie.

In fact, Song Anan was not just trying to comfort Li Sirui.

She was pretty sure that Song Linchuan liked girls. After all, he had a crush on the school flower in high school.

And as for why she knew this, it was because she was Song Linchuan's aunt.

But not many people knew about this, at least not her classmates and roommates in college.

It wasn't that Song Anan was deliberately keeping it a secret. It was just that she hadn't had the chance to mention it.

However, thinking about her nephew, Song Linchuan, reminded Song Anan of the dream she had last night, which had been troubling her all morning.

According to the information in the dream, the world they lived in was actually in a novel.

In fact, if you counted carefully, Song Anan was not a person from this world.

In her past life, Song Anan suffered from a severe congenital heart disease. She waited until she was 18 years old, but still couldn't find a suitable heart donor and eventually died in the hospital bed.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as a newborn baby in this world.

Sometimes even Song Anan herself couldn't tell whether she had traveled through time or forgotten to drink the soup of forgetfulness on the Naihe Bridge.

But what surprised her even more was that she had become a character in a novel!

She found herself in a sweet and romantic novel called "The Heartwarming Pet of the Film Emperor", which had nothing to do with her but with her nephew, Song Linchuan, who was a cannon fodder supporting character in the book.

The novel told the story of a transparent girl in the entertainment industry and the popular male lead of the film, who were paired up by the audience in a reality show. The girl became famous and the two eventually became a model couple in the entertainment industry.

As for Song Linchuan, he fell in love with the girl at first sight but could not be with her. However, his fate in the novel was not just unrequited love, but a sudden and tragic death.

From Song Anan's perspective, the Song Linchuan in the novel was quite different from the one she knew in real life, and many things were also different. For example, the novel didn't mention her existence at all.

Of course, this could be because she was an insignificant person.

For Song Anan, whether it was her family in her past life or her family in this life, they had always protected her well. Suddenly encountering such a situation, she felt a little helpless at first, but gradually calmed down.

Thinking of the ending in the novel, a determination flashed in Song Anan's eyes. She had a good relationship with her family in this life, especially with her nephew, Song Linchuan, whom she had watched grow up.

Therefore, whether this dream was real or not, she could not sit back and watch if it involved the safety of Song Linchuan. She had to find a way to prevent the tragic ending from happening!

***

Song Linchuan had just finished a brand interview and was walking towards the rest area with his agent Jiang Han.

Jiang Han casually asked, "Have you decided when to go home to visit your little aunt? I can have my assistant book your flight ticket in advance."

Song Linchuan waved his hand and replied, "No need. My little aunt is coming over this time and will stay with me for a while."

His parents had gone on a trip a few days ago, leaving no one at home. So he took the opportunity to bring Song Anan over.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han was surprised. Song Linchuan's little aunt was coming over? That was unexpected!

Despite talking about his little aunt all the time, Song Linchuan had never revealed any information about his family to protect them. Even Jiang Han, who had been his agent for so many years, had never met this rumored little aunt.

In fact, he had always wanted to meet Song Linchuan's little aunt.

Just because she was able to handle the unruly young master Song Linchuan so well, it was hard not to be curious about her. Of course, Jiang Han was not the only one curious, as many people inside and outside the industry were interested. Every few days, there would be variety shows knocking on their door, specifically requesting Song Linchuan and his little aunt to participate.

Just the other day, a popular lifestyle variety show called "Our Dearest" even sent an invitation with very tempting conditions. However, the only requirement was that the guest who appeared on the show with Song Linchuan must be his little aunt.

Song Linchuan immediately refused, saying that his little aunt was too busy to participate. Jiang Han was heartbroken at this.

After all, "Our Dearest" was currently the hottest lifestyle reality show with a large platform, high viewership, high pay, and great reviews from previous episodes. Many artists were eyeing this program.

Jiang Han sighed and thought it was a pity. But wait! He turned to Song Linchuan and suddenly had a bright idea.

That's right, his little aunt was coming over and would be staying for a while! Coincidentally, the show was about to start airing, and if they timed it right, things could turn around.

"Linchuan, how long will our little aunt be staying this time?" Jiang Han asked.

Song Linchuan glanced at him and asked suspiciously, "What are you up to?"

Jiang Han smiled ingratiatingly. "Nothing, just asking."

Song Linchuan remained silent. He knew his agent too well. When he was being nice for no reason, he was either trying to cheat or steal something!

Jiang Han couldn't help but reveal his true intentions, but Song Linchuan immediately rejected the idea with a stern expression. "That show has already been turned down. Don't even think about it."

His little aunt has never been interested in the entertainment industry since she was young, why would she want to participate in a variety show? It's too tiring.

Jiang Han could only say, "OK."

Seeing his firm attitude, Jiang Han didn't push it anymore. He knew that it was probably not going to happen.

But it was such a good opportunity, and he couldn't bear to give up. So he couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them entered the dressing room. When Song Linchuan saw who was inside, he couldn't help but pause.

"Why are you here?"
