BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80: Little Aunt.080
Chapter 80
This inexplicable love triangle was rather...farfetched when talked about.
However, Pei Kuang didn\'t think it was that serious. He and Li Sirui had met before when Song Anan was drunk, so it was pretty normal. He didn\'t even realize Li Sirui was his fan.
So he felt it shouldn\'t be as bad as Song Anan thought.
But unlike Pei Kuang\'s composure, Song Anan was extremely worried, "What do you think, does this count as stealing my best friend\'s man?"
Seeing this message, Pei Kuang couldn\'t help but rub his temples.
How was this related at all? This girl\'s train of thought was really strange. People who didn\'t know better would think he was a scumbag.
His fingers flew quickly as he replied to reassure her, "Don\'t worry, it\'s not as serious as you think."
Song Anan sighed, "You don\'t understand."
These years, she had seen clearly how much Li Sirui liked Pei Kuang as an idol. This really wasn\'t something to be taken lightly.
Pei Kuang truly didn\'t understand, but he couldn\'t bear to see the girl so worried, so he tried asking, "Why don\'t I meet up with her today and come clean?"
Song Anan froze for a second. Having her idol tell her in person that he was dating her best friend?
Uh...that would be even more cruel to Li Sirui.
Song Anan was really afraid she would break down crying on the spot.
"Nevermind, I\'ll tell her myself. I\'ll probably be back late today after work." Song Anan.
Pei Kuang didn\'t force her. He replied, "Contact me anytime if you need anything. Your boyfriend\'s here anytime you need someone to take the fall."
Boyfriend...
Song Anan couldn\'t help but quirk up the corners of her lips. "Okay."
There were some things to take care of in the department, so Li Sirui got off work a bit late. After getting food in the cafeteria, she looked around before finding Song Anan holding a phone and giggling foolishly to herself. She couldn\'t help but be curious.
"Who are you messaging that\'s got you smiling so happily?"
Song Anan looked up and saw Li Sirui. She was startled at first, then replied evasively, "No one, family."
Li Sirui had just asked casually. Her mind was completely focused on the food on her tray. She had been so busy this morning that she was starving, barely keeping it together. She didn\'t even notice Song Anan\'s guilty demeanor at all.
"Are you going back to the dorm tonight?" Li Sirui asked as she took a bite of meat.
"I brought back some local specialties from home for you. Remember that squid you said you loved last time? I didn\'t give any to anyone else and saved it all for you."
Song Anan pressed her lips together and replied, "I\'ll stop by for a bit. Let\'s go back together after work."
It was a good time to go back to the dorm and come clean with Li Sirui.
-
As soon as they returned to the dorm, Li Sirui brought out all the local specialties she had brought from home all at once.
"This bag has your favorite squid shreds. Take it all, and pick out anything else you like."
Song Anan gave an "oh" and didn\'t stand on ceremony, picking out some things she liked to eat.
"Are Cheng Ke and Xiao Di back?" Song Anan asked.
Li Sirui replied, "No, they said the hospital\'s busy. They probably won\'t be back until next week."
Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi had been interning in the international department at their hospital. They were supposed to transfer back this term in their sixth year, but for some reason the school had delayed it until next term.
So usually it was just Song Anan and Li Sirui in the dorm. And with Song Anan occasionally staying over at Song Linchuan\'s place, sometimes it was just Li Sirui alone in the dorm.
"Are you going over tonight?" Li Sirui sprawled lazily in the chair and asked casually.
Song Anan nodded, "Going back."
She had made plans with Pei Kuang earlier to have dinner together tonight.
Li Sirui ripped open a snack and took a couple bites. "Alright, I\'ll just order takeout. Too lazy to go to the cafeteria."
Song Anan nodded lightly.
She looked at Li Sirui for a moment, wanting to speak yet stopping herself. "Sirui, there\'s something I want to come clean about with you."
Come clean?
Such a serious phrase. Li Sirui looked at her suspiciously. "What is it?"
Song Anan blinked her eyes and first tested the waters by tossing out a small bomb, "I started dating someone."
Upon hearing this, Li Sirui simply responded with an "oh", seemingly not surprised at all. "You and Pei Kuang got together? Faster than I expected."
Song Anan looked at her in shock. "You...you knew?!"
Li Sirui patted Song Anan on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Little Anan, did you think big sister was naive? I realized you liked Pei Kuang a long time ago."
This time, Song Anan was so shocked she couldn\'t speak.
"When did you find out?"
Li Sirui sighed and replied, "Do you still remember two years ago when you came to ask me if I could avoid mentioning Pei Kuang when we were in the dorm?"
Song Anan thought for a moment. She definitely remembered that.
At that time, rumors about Pei Kuang and Xie Yin\'s relationship were raging online, and her confession countdown plan was forcibly ended.
For a long time after that, she had hidden like an ostrich, not caring or asking about anything related to Pei Kuang online.
But just because she wasn\'t paying attention didn\'t mean she knew nothing. With Li Sirui around, that\'s why this happened.
At the time, Song Anan regretted it a little after saying that, afraid Li Sirui would get suspicious. But luckily Li Sirui just thought the stress of reviewing had gotten to her. She told her not to worry and that she would be careful going forward.
Now that she thought about it, Li Sirui had barely mentioned anything about Pei Kuang in front of her after that time.
"I know your personality. That was when Pei Kuang\'s career was declining the most due to the relationship scandals. Normally you would have been anxious to death, so how could you be so cold and indifferent about it all of a sudden? It was obvious something was up." Li Sirui explained with a smile.
"But at the time, I only suspected. I observed for a while longer before confirming."
Song Anan scratched her head, a little embarrassed.
She had thought she hid it so well, that no one had noticed her feelings at all. She didn\'t expect Li Sirui to have known so long ago.
"Why didn\'t you ask me about it?"
Li Sirui pinched her cheek and laughed. "You tried so hard to hide it back then. You acted like you didn\'t want anyone to know. How could I bear to poke holes in that?"
So she could only pretend not to know, and hope that she would feel better.
Song Anan hugged Li Sirui tightly. "Thank you, Sirui."
Li Sirui hugged her back and pretended to scold her, "What are you thanking me for, I\'ll get mad if you\'re so polite."
Song Anan smiled and continued asking, "But you only knew about my one-sided crush from so long ago. How were you so certain my boyfriend now is Pei Kuang?"
Li Sirui leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, utterly complacent. "Because I know you. It\'s not so easy for you to let go of someone you like."
Song Anan blinked. It really wasn\'t so easy to let go.
But seeing her complete lack of surprise, it seemed she was completely certain Pei Kuang would like her back too. What was that based on?
Seeing Song Anan\'s confused expression, Li Sirui couldn\'t help but sigh, "Little Anan, you really don\'t know your own charm at all."
To be honest, Li Sirui wasn\'t surprised at all that Pei Kuang would fall for Song Anan.
Song Anan was pretty, had a good personality, and was so excellent. There were countless guys at their school who liked her.
Most importantly, she really did have some inexplicable attractiveness about her that made people want to get closer to her.
Song Anan truly didn\'t know what charm she had.
Seeing her completely confused, Li Sirui was too lazy to explain. This was probably what they called online as being charming without realizing it.
"Of course, the main reason I was so certain you two had potential was because of that time you got drunk."
Song Anan responded with an "ah", "What happened that time?"
Li Sirui shrugged and replied, "That time in the car, I happened to catch a glimpse of Pei Kuang looking at you. Tsk tsk, that gaze was far from innocent."
Song Anan scratched her head. What kind of gaze was far from innocent?
She couldn\'t imagine it, but she didn\'t keep pursuing it. Instead she returned to the main topic.
"Sirui, you\'re not mad at me right? This is still considered stealing your man." Song Anan asked gingerly.
Who would have thought that Li Sirui didn\'t take it seriously at all, and waved her hand, "No problem, I transferred my fan status."
Song Anan was puzzled, "Transferred your fan status?"
Li Sirui nodded, "Yeah, when I realized you had fallen for Pei Kuang, I decisively transferred from being his wife fan to being his career fan. Just kidding, idols can\'t compare to sisters."
Song Anan suddenly didn\'t know what to say.
Seeing this, Li Sirui chuckled twice, "Of course, it wasn\'t entirely because of you. At that time, Pei Kuang was caught up in a love affair, and I thought there was no way I could continue being a wife fan. I had to stop the loss in time, so I immediately jumped to the career fan camp!"
Can you stop the loss so promptly?
Song Anan didn\'t really understand the path of chasing stars. She only knew what a "collapse" was because she had heard Li Sirui mention it many times. Hearing her say this, she didn\'t doubt it too much.
"But I\'ve decided, I\'m going to change my fan status again!" Li Sirui put her hands on her hips and announced.
Song Anan: "???"
"Starting today, I\'m your couple fan!"
-
After leaving the dormitory, Song Anan took a taxi and got off at the entrance of the community about ten minutes later.
She had just entered the community when she received a call from Pei Kuang.
"Pei Kuang, I\'m already in the community," Song Anan said.
Pei Kuang laughed and said, "I know, look to your left."
Song Anan was puzzled for a moment, then turned her head to the left and saw Pei Kuang standing by a small flower bed in the distance.
She hung up the phone and jogged over to him, "Why did you come down? You just had surgery a few days ago. Didn\'t you say you were going to rest at home?"
Pei Kuang looked at her gently, "It\'s fine. I didn\'t even leave the community, just walking this bit is no big deal."
But Song Anan didn\'t agree. However, realizing that he had already come down, she couldn\'t say anything more, she could only admonish, "Don\'t come down next time."
Pei Kuang gently rubbed her head and smiled back, "No, you can\'t deprive me of the right to pick up my girlfriend after work."
Song Anan humphed, "Then you can\'t deprive me of the right to care about my boyfriend!"
Suddenly Pei Kuang leaned down, maintaining eye level with her, and stared into her eyes.
Song Anan blinked, "What are you looking at?"
Pei Kuang deliberately dragged out his words teasingly, "Your boyfriend? Who is it? Oh, it\'s me!"
Song Anan: "......!"
