Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 36

In fact, many people, like Xie Yin, have raised doubts about Song Anan always having a book with her on the show.

They think that since she has already attended university, there's no need to be so studious.

It's as if no one else has ever been to university.

But they conveniently forget what Song Anan has studied. Her words on the show have successfully silenced many people.

At the same time, they have resonated with many medical students and earned the admiration of numerous netizens.

In life, no one can guarantee that they won't get sick.

If even medical students don't take their studies seriously, who would dare to entrust their lives to doctors when they fall ill?

After an unpleasant lunch, the guests went back to their rooms.

After waking up from her nap, Song Anan continued with her plan of reading for an hour, undeterred by what happened during lunch.

The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but marvel at Song Anan's self-discipline and emotional control. She truly is extraordinary.

The truth is, Song Anan didn't pay any attention to Xie Yin's hostility towards her.

Although she didn't know why Xie Yin targeted her, she was certain that after this show, they wouldn't have any further interactions.

Compared to that, Song Anan was more concerned about Pei Kuang. With a few more days of recording for the show, can he handle being around Xie Yin and Ji QiuBai every day?

She remembered a phrase that Li Sirui often mentioned.

Ah, don't get too close to love, or it will bring unhappiness!

In the afternoon, when Song Anan and Pei Kuang came downstairs, the other guests were already in the living room, except for Xie Yin and Jiang Kai.

They probably haven't come down yet, and Song Anan didn't pay much attention to it.

"Auntie, we're going surfing at the beach later. Are you and Brother Pei coming with us?" Qi MuShi asked.

Song Anan was taken aback, "Surfing?"

Qi MuShi nodded excitedly, "Yes, Ji An-ge said Ji Da-ge is really good at surfing. I want Ji Da-ge to teach me."

Upon hearing this, Song Anan instinctively looked at Ji QiuBai.

It was mentioned in the original book that Ji QiuBai was excellent at surfing and even knew how to ride a motor yacht.

There was a scene in that extreme variety show where Ji QiuBai showed off his superb surfing skills in front of Xie Yin.

Moreover, Ji QiuBai personally taught Xie Yin how to surf, creating quite a romantic scene that won over many of their fans.

Song Anan wasn't sure if Ji QiuBai would teach Xie Yin to surf again later, but one thing was certain: with his surfing skills, he would definitely impress everyone.

If they also went surfing, Pei Kuang would feel embarrassed again.

"We won't go!" Song Anan replied quickly.

She glanced around and explained, "Um, yesterday I think I saw a stray cat on the island, and I want to go check on it again today."

Qi MuShi was a bit surprised, "There are stray cats on this island?"

Song Anan's eyes flickered slightly, "I... I'm not sure."

That's why she wanted to go and make sure.

Qi MuShi just said, "Oh," and didn't ask any further.

He wasn't particularly interested in cats. Instead, he preferred to go surfing. So, he eagerly ran off to seek advice from the Ji brothers about surfing.

After sending Qi Mushi away, Song Anan suddenly remembered that she had acted on her own without consulting Pei Kuang about separating from the others.

She turned to Pei Kuang beside her, using her eyes to ask him for his opinion.

Pei Kuang raised an eyebrow, indicating that he had no objections. For him, it didn't matter where they went.

Since they were taking different paths, Song Anan and Pei Kuang didn't wait for the others. After they finished packing up, they left the villa directly.

The idea of looking for stray cats was just an excuse Song Anan made up on the spot. Once they were actually out, she felt a bit clueless about where to look.

Song Anan glanced at Pei Kuang secretly and saw that he didn't suspect anything. She breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Pei Kuang noticed Song Anan's subtle gesture and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

The little missy couldn't lie at all.

Maybe she hadn't even realized it herself, but every time she told a lie, her eyes would involuntarily shift, accompanied by a slight stammer.

So, from the beginning, Pei Kuang knew that Song Anan didn't really come out to look for stray cats. He guessed that she just didn't want to go surfing.

As for why, he speculated that it might be because she was unhappy.

Unhappy about what happened at noon.

Leading Pei Kuang, Song Anan aimlessly wandered around the island. Forget about stray cats, they didn't even catch sight of any animals.

The viewers in the livestream chat shifted their focus from finding cats to enjoying the island's scenery.

And also, appreciating the beauty of Pei Kuang and Song Anan together.

Well, the cameraman really had some skills. The angles he found were absolutely stunning.

The two of them walking side by side, their figures perfectly blending with the island scenery...

Every frame was beautifully composed.

[Oh no, I'm guilty! How did I suddenly start shipping these two in this setting?]

[Sister upstairs, wake up, and repeat after me loudly, the little missy is underage! The little missy is underage!]

Song Anan grew more and more guilty as they walked. "Let's go over there and look again. I'm not sure if I saw it correctly."

Pei Kuang nodded lightly and smiled. "It's alright, no rush. We'll take our time."

However, although they said that, neither of them actually searched seriously.

After all, they both knew deep down that whether there were stray cats or not, it didn't really matter.

As they continued walking, they arrived near a resort hotel on the island.

As they passed by a patch of bushes, a dark figure suddenly darted out from within.

"Be careful!" Pei Kuang quickly pulled Song Anan over and stood in front of her.

Song Anan held onto the hem of Pei Kuang's clothes and asked nervously, "What is it?"

Pei Kuang shook his head. "I don't know."

With that, he pointed to a certain spot ahead. "It should be over there."

They exchanged a glance and took a tentative step forward, only to see a dusty little bundle curled up in the bushes.

"Meow~"

It was a cat.

Song Anan was stunned. She had actually encountered a cat.

What a coincidence!

Looking at the dusty figure not far away, Song Anan asked uncertainly, "Is that a stray cat?"

Pei Kuang stared at the cat for a moment and, judging by its breed, determined that it was a purebred Golden Gradient. It should be someone's domesticated pet.

It looked filthy all over, with innocent and melancholic eyes, and indeed resembled a neglected stray cat.

"It's probably someone's lost pet," Pei Kuang said.

Considering the proximity to the vacation hotel, it was very likely that it had followed one of the hotel guests.

Pei Kuang glanced at the hotel next to them and said, "Why don't you wait here while I ask the hotel staff?"

Although the program had reserved the entire island, it still had basic staff members on the island.

When they passed by the hotel entrance earlier, he noticed that there were personnel on duty inside.

Song Anan nodded. "Okay, you go ahead. I'll stay here with it."

Pei Kuang made a soft "Hmm" before leaving and reminded her anxiously, "Don't touch it until I come back."

Although the cat didn't appear aggressive, one could never be too careful. He was worried that Song Anan might get hurt.

After Pei Kuang left, the cat seemed to relax. It unexpectedly approached Song Anan on its own.

Then, it tilted its head and stared at Song Anan.

So adorable.

Song Anan's heart instantly melted, and she squatted down, gently making eye contact with the cat.

"Little kitty, don't be afraid. We won't harm you, and we'll help you find your owner."

[Aww, Auntie is so gentle.]

[This cat seems to really like Auntie. It was cautious when Pei Kuang was here, but now it's approaching her on its own.]

The cat seemed to understand Song Anan's words and took a few more steps forward.

Song Anan didn't dare to move, fearing that it might startle the cat.

The cameraman beside them held his breath, and everyone watched to see what it would do.

The cat circled around Song Anan, sniffed the air, and then, after letting out a "meow," it leaned against Song Anan's feet and lay down.

Song Anan was a bit confused.

What was going on?

The cameraman found it amusing and said, "Auntie, looks like it's taking advantage of you."

Taking advantage.

Song Anan looked down at her feet, and it did seem quite fitting.

[Hahaha, indeed it's taking advantage. This kitty is so cunning.]

[Hilarious! Auntie never dreamed that one day she would be claimed by a cat.]

[Aww, the kitty seems to really like Auntie. Look, it even exposed its belly to her.]

[Fun fact! If a cat rolls over and shows you its belly, it means it trusts you. It knows you won't harm it, so it's showing its vulnerable side to you.]

[Yes, that's right. It's also a way for a cat to express love. Aww, Auntie should cherish it.]

[By the way, this cat is definitely sly. It feels like every step it takes is carefully planned, and there's not a single unnecessary movement.]

[Kitty: Woman, you are this cat's chosen poop servant!]

[Shocking! Scheming cat that's fishing for attention, targeting Auntie!]

Song Anan also felt that the cat had no ill intentions towards her.

Not long after, Pei Kuang came with a hotel staff member.

When he first saw the cat lying by Song Anan's feet, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Song Anan quickly explained, "I didn't touch it, it came on its own."

She remembered the promise she made to Pei Kuang and didn't touch it.

Pei Kuang looked at her with a face that said, "I didn't do it, you have to believe me," and suddenly chuckled, "Hmm, I know."

Song Anan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't misunderstand her.

[Oh my goodness! Little sister is so obedient. She promised not to touch the cat because of Pei Kuang, and she really didn't touch it.]

[I was just curious why little sister didn't pet it. So it's because of this.]

[Oh... Am I the only one who noticed how charming Pei Kuang's smile was just now?]

[Ah, my older brother is so charming, I can't handle it!]

Pei Kuang suppressed his laughter and turned to the staff member next to him, "Can you confirm if this is the cat?"

He had just asked if the hotel had any guests who had lost a cat before.

The staff member looked closely and nodded, "Yes, it's this cat. I took care of it for a while for that guest. It was clean back then."

Pei Kuang asked, "Are you sure?"

The staff member replied, "I'm sure. That guest was the last wave of guests before you arrived. We rarely have people bringing pets here, so I remember it well."

With that, he took out his phone and showed them a photo, saying, "Take a look, is this the cat? I thought it was cute and took a picture with it."

Song Anan and Pei Kuang double-checked and it did indeed look very similar.

The last group of guests left the island a few days ago, so if the cat was lost during that time, it would have been wandering around the island, and it's normal for it to be a bit dirty.

Song Anan asked, "Can you contact its owner?"

The staff member nodded, "Yes, we have the guest's phone number at the front desk. Wait here."

With that, he turned and went back to the hotel.

After a few minutes, the staff member returned with a slip of paper.

"This is the phone number. The guest is a foreigner. You can call and ask."

Song Anan nodded, "Okay, thank you."

She took the slip of paper and dialed the number on it, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hello, are you Mr. **?"

"Yes, when you were on vacation at ** hotel before, did you bring a pet cat with you..."

Song Anan spoke in fluent British English right from the start, stunning everyone watching the live stream.

[Wow! Little sister is so good at English, that's amazing!]

[As third-year students starting a new semester, the difference between me and a top student is clear. I'm still struggling with my English proficiency test, while a top student can already communicate with foreigners without any barriers.]

[Sigh! It's true that there's no comparison without feeling inferior.]

After confirming the information with the other party, Song Anan began to discuss how to return the cat to them.

But I don't know what the other person said, she suddenly frowned, looking surprised, and said, "Are you saying that you don't want this cat anymore?"

After speaking, she instinctively turned to Pei Kuang and directly said in Chinese, "He said he doesn't want this cat, what should we do?"

Pei Kuang furrowed his brows slightly and pondered for a few seconds before saying to Song Anan, "Give me the phone, I'll talk to him."

Without thinking much, Song Anan handed him the phone.

Pei Kuang put the phone on speaker and fluently spoke in English, saying, "Sir, hello. I need to confirm with you again, are you sure you want to abandon this cat?"

A man's voice came from the other side, "Yes, I'm sure. Please understand clearly and don't contact me again."

After saying that, the man hung up the phone directly.

"What the heck, he's abandoning it!"

"Damn it! Can't he have some morality? If you decide to keep it, you should take responsibility. Otherwise, don't keep it!"

"Wuwuwu, the poor little thing doesn't even know its owner doesn't want it anymore."

"What the hell! Am I the only one who noticed? How did Pei Kuang become so good at English? Didn't he drop out of high school?"

"I really think education doesn't represent everything. As long as you can maintain the habit of learning, it's impressive."

After confirming that the other party indeed didn't want the kitten, Song Anan felt uneasy.

She truly couldn't understand why, if they had decided to keep it, they couldn't take responsibility until the end.

It was unfair to the little cat.

Song Anan touched the cat's head with pity. The cat was very obedient and even leaned forward on its own.

The hotel staff, seeing the cat being affectionate towards Song Anan, was surprised and said, "This cat is usually aloof. No matter how I tried to play with it before, it ignored me. It seems to really like you."

After saying that, he looked at Song Anan and suggested, "If you also like cats, why don't you keep it? You two seem to have a good connection."

This cat had been on this island for several days, and it happened to encounter Song Anan, and it seemed to really like her.

Isn't that fate?

Song Anan really liked cats. She had raised a tabby cat in her hometown when she was young. It would run around the yard all day and even sneak into the neighbor's house to steal fish.

But Zhao Ya was allergic to cat fur, so she hadn't kept one since then.

Song Anan shook her head, looking troubled, and said, "My sister-in-law is allergic to cat fur, so we can't have cats at home, and it's not allowed in the dormitory either."

She really had no place to keep it. It was also not possible with Song Linchuan. He would be away from home for several months when filming, and there was no one to take care of it at home.

Moreover, Song Anan knew that Song Linchuan wasn't really fond of cats.

Upon hearing this, the hotel staff also felt regretful. Allergic to cat fur at home, there was really no solution.

"How about you wait for me? Let me go back and ask my colleagues if anyone likes to have a cat," the hotel staff suggested.

It shouldn't be difficult to find someone willing to adopt such a good-looking pet cat.

Song Anan hurriedly said, "Please, if possible, find a good adopter for it. I beg you."

At least it shouldn't be abandoned again.

After the hotel staff left, Song Anan looked at the dirty and melancholic little cat in front of her, her eyes filled with reluctance and concern.

There was also a deep sense of powerlessness.

[It seems Auntie really loves cats.]

[Sigh, it's true that some family members are allergic to cat hair. Hugs for Auntie.]

[Oh, meow meow, this cat seems so well-behaved. If no one else wants to take care of it, I can.]

[Auntie, look at me. I can take care of it too, don't worry. I will never abandon it!]

Pei Kuang looked at Auntie's appearance, thought for a moment, and said, "If you trust me, you can leave it to me to take care of. I actually quite like cats."

Song Anan was taken aback and raised her head abruptly to look at Pei Kuang. "But don't you live alone? Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

Pei Kuang smiled and said, "It's fine. I can bring it along when I'm filming. And if it's really inconvenient, I can ask my agent to take care of it."

He added, "In that case, if you want to see it in the future, you can always find me."

Song Anan's eyes lit up but she still asked with concern, "What about your agent? Does he like cats?"

"Don't worry," Pei Kuang smiled, "He really likes cats."

Meanwhile, Li Dong, who was thousands of miles away, looked utterly confused.

When did he start liking cats?

And he really likes them?!
