Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 56

Pei Kuang's "not bad" directly silenced the whole scene.

The observation team looked at him playfully, all waiting to see how he would get out of this situation.

Compared with the previous year, netizens' reactions to Pei Kuang and Song Anan were very different after the show was launched this time.

Previously, because Song Anan was underage at the time, coupled with Song Lincan's various "competitions for affection" in between, most people jokingly teased them as having an "aunt-nephew" relationship on the surface.

But privately, there were still quite a few people shipping their cp.

The two also had a cp name, called Anxin Peiban.

Later, as the show ended and Song Anan faded from everyone's sight, the two didn't have many opportunities to appear together, so these cp fans gradually calmed down.

But who could have thought that today, the year after, the two would appear on the same show again. This was simply a carnival for cp fans!

Compared to just secretly shipping them before, they were like wild horses off the reins this time, starting to prance around everywhere, as if trying to blow off all the pent-up frustration from before.

Since the show started airing, the Anxin Peiban cp has topped the hot search several times, showing just how enthusiastic these cp fans are.

So during this time, whether it was the on-site observation team or the online audience, everyone was watching the excitement.

But Pei Kuang had always been discreet in his words and deeds, so now that there was finally a glimmer of something, how could everyone let it go so easily?

Thus, under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Pei Kuang just shrugged and said flatly, "This is a workplace variety show. We should focus more on the show itself."

"Shipping everything will only hurt you guys."

Crowd: "..."

[Uh...why do I feel like Pei Kuang is making implications here?]

[Let me make this clear first, we don't ship everything, we only ship Anxin Peiban!]

[Wahhh, I don't care, anyway he's just jealous, no matter who says otherwise!]

[Speaking of which, Pei Kuang has already shown it so obviously, yet there isn't even a shred of sweetness. Can you cp fans still keep shipping?]

[No sugar is fine, our [Anxin Peiban cp] main appeal is hardcore shipping!]

[That's right, Auntie wasn't of age yet before, but we still dared to secretly ship them. Now that we can be open about it, do you think we'd be scared?]

On Song Anan's side, she was still very happy to meet her acquaintance Jing Fan on the show. Their new patient who was admitted for cerebral infarction was found to have a mucinous cyst on the heart after examination.

After the consultation ended, the attending doctor called all the interns from the neurosurgery and cardiology departments to gather together, so that they could follow this case together.

Therefore, during the time they were in charge of this patient, although Song Anan and Jing Fan were not from the same department, they still ran into each other often.

At first, when people said Song Anan and Jing Fan had cp, it was mostly just teasing. But as the two interacted more and more, quite a few people really started shipping them sincerely.

Without a doubt, both were top scorers with high IQs. Their performances on the show were also remarkable. They looked very well-matched.

Since both were quiet people who didn't talk much, and their names together sounded like "Anjing" meaning quiet, netizens named their cp the Quiet cp.

Of course, as Pei Kuang said, this was a workplace variety show after all, so people were still more concerned about the show itself.

Therefore, those who shipped [Quiet cp] were not actually that many. At most, they would just cheer a few times in the livestream chat when the two appeared on screen together.

Until a professional shipper up owner on a certain site made a mashup video, which instantly made [Quiet cp] gain some popularity and went a bit viral.

#[Quiet cp] Top medical college twin geniuses, evenly-matched love is the best to ship#

Video description: Strongly recommend [Quiet cp]!!! The encounter of the two biggest campus belles and beaus of Medical University B, an absolute pinnacle of intellectual love!

The video wasn't long, just a few minutes. It started by introducing Song Anan and Jing Fan's backgrounds and resumes, pulling their double genius auras to full at the opening.

Then it was their respective performances on the show, answering random questions from their attending doctors smoothly in different wards, with composure that could not conceal their aura as top elites.

The last part, the up owner's style took a turn, editing together their few scenes appearing on screen together.

Their first meeting gaze in the consultation room, standing side by side bowing heads looking at medical records in the ward...

These originally ordinary moments in the livestream were edited by this up owner with music and filters, instantly amplifying the atmosphere.

One could only say this up owner really understood what tickled cp fans, with such a simple video instantly pulling a group down the hole.

[Ahhhhh, this is like a campus novel brought to life, hurry tell me what show this is, I want to ship it!]

[Sis upstairs look here, "Go For It! Workplace Newbies" is waiting for you!]

[OMG, it's actually a workplace variety show?!]

[Help, who could've thought I would one day fall to the point of shipping cp in a workplace variety show, and ship it so badly?!]

[With just a look the two know what the other is going to do, how can this be so shippable?!]

[My god, if not for the up owner editing these out, I wouldn't have noticed these small details at all!]

[I've been super into intellectual love recently. Top scorers of Medical University B with such good looks, nope, I must stan them out of respect first!]

[Wait wait! Isn't this Song Lincan's little auntie Song Anan? Calling online for Song Lincan to come collect his auntie~]

...

After gaining some popularity on that particular site, this video was directly reposted by a marketing account to Weibo.

Then after a short morning, it actually climbed to the hot search.

At noon, the interns gathered together for lunch break. Of course they would also go online to browse Weibo.

Seeing the Quiet cp hot search, the break room instantly livened up as everyone gathered around to ship the cp on the spot.

[Haha, so everyone likes gossip huh]

[Wahhh, don't act me!]

[It's normal, my colleagues and I also often ship cp's while eating together]

Just as everyone was engrossed, the break room door was pushed open and Song Anan and Jing Fan walked in.

They were called away by the teacher earlier for something and were a bit late coming down now.

Seeing the two come in, everyone simultaneously shut their mouths and buried their heads into their food bowls.

But perhaps out of too much curiosity, everyone would still sneak glances at the two from time to time.

[Haha, everyone is quite self-aware, shipping privately and resolutely not in front of the real people]

[Seriously, everyone's wanting to ask but not daring look is too funny!]

Song Anan and Jing Fan were a bit confused by everyone's reactions, but didn't think too much of it.

Jing Fan went to the side to take the boxed meals prepared by the program team and brought one over to Song Anan. Then the two started discussing a case while eating.

Everyone exchanged looks, full of admiration.

By this time, everyone had gradually gotten used to it - whenever Song Anan and Jing Fan got together, they would basically be discussing all kinds of medical problems.

Everyone couldn't help but think of that line from the video, they really lived up to being the pinnacle of intellectual love!

But they had to admit, the two really had a kind of charm. As they discussed back and forth, everyone was gradually drawn in as well.

Everyone may gossip, but when it was time to study they wouldn't slack off either, and actively participated in the discussion.

Soon the lunch break ended, and after a brief get-together everyone had to return to their departments.

The cardiology and neurosurgery departments were not on the same floor.

Before leaving, Jing Fan said to Song Anan, "Anan, are you free after work? Wu Ming and the others know I'm back, they're organizing a gathering, do you want to join?"

Song Anan thought for a moment, and replied, "Sorry Senior Brother, you guys go ahead. I already have plans today."

[Ahhhhh, is Jing Fan going for the chase?! Quickly, go on the date!]

[Wahhh, is the cp I ship going to become real?!]

[Not to pry, but kinda want to know who Auntie made plans with!]

[One person's dying request, please cameraman follow and film, want to see who Auntie has plans with!]

[Maybe it's just an excuse. Feels like Auntie doesn't have any intentions towards Jing Fan.]

-

Song Anan saying she had plans wasn't an excuse.

And the person she had plans with was Pei Kuang.

Because the shoots had been ending so late before, Pei Kuang said to let her take him to eat at the hospital staff cafeteria, but they hadn't had a chance yet.

Since she got off early today by coincidence, she made plans with Pei Kuang yesterday.

But unfortunately, before Song Anan got off work today she was called over by the attending doctor, saying there were some matters to discuss with her.

By the time she came out of the hospital building, it was already half an hour later.

When Song Anan jogged to the entrance of the staff cafeteria, Pei Kuang was leaning against a pillar outside the cafeteria, listlessly playing on his phone.

"Sorry, something held me up." Song Anan said, panting.

Pei Kuang put away his phone and took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, pulling one out to hand to her, "No rush, there's still time."

Song Anan looked at the closed cafeteria doors, a bit helpless.

By this time the cafeteria had already closed, but they still hadn't eaten dinner!

But in any case, they had to find a place to eat first.

She thought for a moment, then said, "There's a food street with pretty good stuff at the south gate of our school. How about we go check it out there?" Pei Kuang shrugged and replied, "I'll follow your lead, I don't have an opinion."

He asked, "Is it far?"

Song Anan shook her head, "Not too far, about ten minutes by car."

"Your car is parked here?" Pei Kuang asked, surprised.

Song Anan nodded, "Mm, wait for me, I have a car."

A few minutes later, Pei Kuang saw Song Anan ride up on a white electric scooter and stop in front of him. He was still a bit stunned.

He said, somewhat exasperatedly, "This is your car?"

Song Anan nodded, looking a little confused: "Yeah, what's up?"

Although their hospital was near B University, it still took some time to get from the dormitory to here. So during the internship year, for convenience going to and from work, she had bought a small electric scooter.

Just happened that during the time they were filming the show, she didn't need to commute back and forth to the dormitory, so the scooter had been parked in the shed.

Pei Kuang waved his hand, "....nothing."

He knew that during Song Anan's recent birthday, Song Lincuan had given her a sports car. He had just assumed that was the car she was referring to.

However, on second thought, that model of sports car was quite eye-catching. The little girl had always disliked drawing attention, so it made sense she hadn't driven it over.

Song Anan took a helmet out of the front basket of the scooter and handed it to Pei Kuang.

Pei Kuang took the helmet and put it on, "Do you want to ride, or should I?"

"I'll do it, you don't know the way." Song Anan replied, then added, "Don't worry, I'm a great rider."

Pei Kuang laughed softly, "Okay, I trust you."

With that said, he straddled the back seat with his long legs.

But a guy nearly six feet crammed onto the back of a small electric scooter was quite cramped. He didn't know where to put his legs and looked rather silly.

Luckily the distance wasn't far. After around ten minutes, Song Anan rode the little scooter with Pei Kuang on the back and arrived at the south gate of B University.

It happened to be summer vacation now, so there weren't many people around. Song Anan found a restaurant she had eaten at before that she liked.

But because of Pei Kuang's celebrity status, eating inside the restaurant now would be a bit inconvenient. So the two opted to get takeout.

Song Anan also bought some snacks. She rode her little scooter carrying Pei Kuang into B University.

There weren't many people on campus now either. She took a winding path and stopped near a pavilion. This pavilion was the spot she had chosen for them to eat.

Pei Kuang got off the little scooter's back seat holding the takeout bags.

The two parked the scooter nicely, then placed the several food containers on the stone table and sat down on the stone stools.

Song Anan suddenly remembered something and looked up at Pei Kuang, "Have you adjusted to the time difference?"

Pei Kuang's hand holding the chopsticks paused briefly, "Yeah, I'm adjusted."

Song Anan nodded.

Good that he was adjusted, then he wouldn't have insomnia anymore.

Song Anan had bought two servings of yellow braised chicken rice. The two started eating their portions.

"How is it? Does it taste okay?" Song Anan looked at Pei Kuang and asked.

Pei Kuang nodded lightly, "Yeah, the taste is pretty good."

Hearing this, Song Anan breathed a sigh of relief. Good that he liked it.

But on second thought, he had sent her so many delicious things before. For the first meal she treated him to, it was so cheap. It made her look rather stingy.

Song Anan thought for a moment, then added: "Next time there's a chance, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Pei Kuang immediately saw through her thoughts and laughed softly, "No need. Next time if there's a chance, just take me to eat at your school cafeteria."

Song Anan thought he felt she was a student without money, so she emphasized, "Don't worry, I have money!"

Seeing her misunderstanding, Pei Kuang couldn't help laughing, "I'm not worried, I know you're a little rich girl."

Song Anan looked at him puzzled.

Since he knew she had money, why did he still want to eat at the cafeteria?

Pei Kuang explained helplessly, "It's just that I've never eaten cafeteria food before."

Song Anan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

He had debuted at fifteen and never had the chance to attend university. He must regret that a lot.

Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, it was actually Jing Fan.

Song Anan looked at Pei Kuang, "Let me take this call."

Pei Kuang nodded, "Go ahead."

Song Anan directly answered the call, "Hello, senior apprentice brother.... Oh, no need. I'm eating out right now, no need to get me anything.... Okay, bye."

After hanging up, Song Anan noticed Pei Kuang was staring straight at her, looking pensive.

"What are you looking at?" She asked, confused.

Pei Kuang lightly lifted his chin towards her phone, "Jing Fan?"

Song Anan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yeah, he's having dinner with some senior schoolmates. The restaurant they're at happens to have a dessert I really like, so he asked if I wanted him to order some for takeout."

Pei Kuang raised his brow meaningfully and gave an ambiguous "Oh," then said, "I see."

"You two...have a close relationship?"

Song Anan glanced at him, irritated, "We're not what you're thinking."

"And I'm an adult now, nothing illegal going on."

Pei Kuang was startled, then remembered accusing her of underage dating two years ago when they met Jing Fan.

This little girl really held grudges!

He laughed softly, trying to defend himself, "I didn't actually say anything..."

Song Anan pursed her lips, "But your expression did."

Pei Kuang shrugged helplessly, "Fine, it's just that I saw so many people online shipping you two, talking as if it was real. That's why I..."

Hearing this, Song Anan couldn't help but retort in annoyance, "And there are people online shipping us too. Do you take that seriously?"

Pei Kuang: "......"!
