Chapter 35

When Pei Kuang saw Song Anan's reaction, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Song Anan's face.

She reluctantly put down the two scissors hands.

She really didn't know how to pose for photos.

In Song Anan's memory, the most frequent age of taking photos was when she was very young. For a period of time, her sister-in-law was suddenly interested in photography and often pulled her to take pictures.

At that time, the pose she made the most for taking pictures seemed to be the scissors hands.

"Don't put it down yet, I haven't taken it yet." Pei Kuang's words contained laughter, and his expression was completely unabashed.

The undisguised smile on his face was just short of writing the word "mockery" on his face.

It looked very annoying!

Song Anan's ears gradually became hot.

If it wasn't for distracting Pei Kuang, how could she, who usually doesn't even take selfies, take the initiative to ask for a photo?

As a result, he actually laughed at her, which made her so angry.

But for Pei Kuang's reaction, Song Anan didn't know how to refute it. She could only angrily puff up her cheeks and glare at him.

【Oh! Pei Kuang is so bold to openly ridicule the little auntie. You should hide it a bit more!】

【Laughing to death, Pei Kuang's sudden impulse to run away from home】

【Wu wu wu, the little auntie's angry look is so cute, I really want to rub her~】

【Pei Kuang: Sorry, I don't want to laugh, but I really can't help it.】

【Little Auntie: The unfilial eldest nephew who I picked up for free still can't be kept after all!】

【I feel like the little auntie is going to get angry next second. Based on the little auntie's vengeful personality, Pei Kuang is going to suffer terribly. 】

【I'm looking forward a little to the little auntie making her move】

Just as everyone was looking forward to seeing Song Anan's counterattack, she suddenly sighed as if deflating.

Forget it, laugh if you want to laugh.

Seeing how miserable he is, she won't fuss over it with him. Song Anan thought.

Besides, she had just decided to cheer him up this morning, so she had also achieved her goal.

"Okay, I admit I'm not very good at taking pictures," Song Anan said good-temperedly, "Then what pose should I make?"

Facing Song Anan's indulgent gaze mixed with a hint of benevolence, Pei Kuang suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

Sometimes, he really wanted to ask Song Anan how she managed to be so young yet so mature at the same time.

Pei Kuang lightly coughed and put down his phone. He came to Song Anan and started teaching her poses hands-on. "How about this, you stand facing the sea, you don't need to deliberately pose your hands, just relax them at your sides or however you want. Anyway, just relax, leave the rest to me."

Although Song Anan listened in a daze, she still obediently followed Pei Kuang's instructions.

However, her body was still a little stiff.

Pei Kuang patiently coached her at the side: "Don't think about posing for a photo, just pretend you're simply looking at the sea and scenery. First take a deep breath, then slowly relax..."

Like this, Song Anan gradually relaxed, and her state was indeed much better.

With his phone in hand, Pei Kuang walked around her looking for angles, taking both close-ups and long shots.

"Done." Pei Kuang waved at Song Anan, "Come, let's take a look at the photos first. If you're not satisfied we'll reshoot."

Song Anan was stunned for a moment, not reacting yet.

The cameraman happened to walk over to Pei Kuang at this time, and the lens was aimed right at the screen of the phone in his hand.

It was a side profile shot of Song Anan.

Whether it was the atmosphere, composition, or proportions of this photo, there was nothing to pick on.

【Oh my god! I feel like Pei Kuang is really good at taking photos. The artistic conception is so beautiful!】

【It turns out Pei Kuang is good at everything. Li Yu was right, his future girlfriend will be very blessed!】

【Ahhhhh, the photos my brother took for the little auntie look so good! I love it, I love it!】

【Hahaha, I feel like the status of Song Linchuan's eldest nephew has been threatened a bit again. Pei Kuang took such nice photos of the little auntie, the little auntie must be very happy!】

【Sob sob~ This is exactly the ideal boyfriend I envisioned! Who can tell me what I need to do to catch up to Pei Kuang!】

【When will my brother take photos for me? I've already posed and everything】

【Sister upstairs, hurry up and go wash up and sleep. You can have anything in your dreams】

【Guys who can take photos are really extra attractive. Not like my boyfriend, who always takes dead-angle photos whenever we travel】

【After looking at Pei Kuang, then looking at my useless boyfriend lying on the sofa, I really couldn't help but give him a kick!】 At this moment, Shi Qing, Li Yu and the others also walked over.

Song Anan was just about to look at the photos, so the three of them looked together.

"Wow! Pei Kuang, you're too good at taking photos!" Li Yu exclaimed, "I thought Guo Xiu was pretty decent, but there's no harm in comparison, huh."

Shi Qing also nodded approvingly, "Your composition is very professional. Did you specifically study photography before?"

Pei Kuang smiled humbly, "I did study it for a period of time before."

【I'm a little surprised that Pei Kuang studied photography! His hobbies are quite extensive】

【Ahhhhh, I know this one! My brother played the role of a photographer before, so he must have studied it back then】

After Shi Qing and Li Yu saw the photos Pei Kuang took for Song Anan, they decisively abandoned their original designated photographer Guo Xiu and extended an invitation for Pei Kuang to photograph them.

Pei Kuang smiled and agreed.

He took individual photos for Shi Qing and Li Yu respectively, and took couple photos for Li Yu and Guo Xiu.

Halfway through, Shi Qing also called Qi MuShi over and took some mother and son photos.

It turned out that Pei Kuang's photography skills were actually very good, much better than Guo Xiu's, and he also had a high success rate.

Looking at the photos on her phone, Li Yu and Shi Qing were extremely satisfied.

The guests had a great time at the seaside this morning.

As lunchtime approached, everyone returned to the villa together.

The weather was hot, and it was easy to sweat a little at this time of day, so everyone went back to their rooms to take a shower and freshen up before coming down to cook.

Although Song Anan didn't know how to cook, she still habitually tried to help out in the kitchen.

When she came over, there were already quite a few people in the kitchen.

The kitchen in this villa was very large, with several stoves, so everyone worked on their own and didn't get in each other's way.

The group quickly cooked a table full of dishes.

After a busy morning, everyone was quite hungry and didn't chat anymore, just buried their heads to eat.

"Little Auntie, are you going to read books after your nap?" Qi MuShi asked.

In the previous period, he had followed Song Anan all day, so he was somewhat familiar with her habits.

Song Anan nodded, "Um, what's up?"

The seaside UV rays were strong. It was a bit hot in the afternoon during this time period, so everyone planned to go out again later.

So after their nap, they had about an hour of free time.

Qi MuShi asked, "Can I come find you to study together?"

Song Anan didn't answer right away, but looked at Pei Kuang, obviously asking for his opinion.

They were sharing a suite. If Qi MuShi came, they would have to study in the living room, and she was afraid it would disturb Pei Kuang.

Pei Kuang smiled. "I don't have a problem with it."

Only then did Song Anan turn her head and nodded at Qi MuShi.

Guo Xiu was quite surprised to see this. "Wow, MuShi loves studying so much now?"

In his impression, Qi MuShi was still in the image of a poor student in elementary school. To see him become so proactive all of a sudden, he really couldn't get used to it.

Shi Qing arched her brows, rather proud, "Of course! As his mother, I almost don't recognize him anymore."

She briefly recounted how Qi MuShi had gotten up early in the morning to do workbooks, and everyone's attention immediately focused on Qi MuShi.

They first chatted about studying, but later somehow, as they chatted, Shi Qing began to talk about Qi MuShi's childhood.

The guests at the table listened with great interest, including Song Anan.

Seeing that Song Anan was only listening to others and hadn't eaten much rice in her bowl, Pei Kuang reached out and tapped her arm.

Song Anan turned her head to look at him.

Pei Kuang lightly lifted his chin towards her rice bowl, signaling her to eat.

Song Anan "oh"ed and obediently shoveled a big mouthful of rice.

This scene happened to fall into Xie Yin's eyes across from them.

She looked at Song Anan, then Pei Kuang, with an obscure expression flashing through her eyes.

Seeing Pei Kuang being so attentive to Song Anan these past two days, even a friend's relative, a girl next door, he could take such good care of her, so why was he like that to her...

"Little Auntie," Xie Yin suddenly called out.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and looked over together.

Especially Pei Kuang, his gaze towards Xie Yin contained some examination.

In this situation, Xie Yin's cry of "Little Auntie" did seem a bit abrupt.

Song Anan was also surprised for a moment. This was the first time Xie Yin took the initiative to speak to her. Although they had greeted each other yesterday, at the time they had merely nodded at each other.

"Yes, is there something?" Song Anan looked at Xie Yin and asked.

Xie Yin's smile was a little forced. "Nothing, I just suddenly felt emotional."

Song Anan was puzzled. Felt emotional about what?

Xie Yin said a little embarrassedly, "It's a bit shameful to say this, but seeing how hardworking the little auntie is, I feel like I was too lazy in college. Maybe because high school wore me out. Back then, as long as it was vacation, I wouldn't even think of looking at books for the entire break."

【Yo, what Xie Yin said is exactly like me! As a current college student, I've had such a long summer break, and I really haven't cracked open a book even once】

【Laughing to death, me too. Based on previous experience, I didn't even bring books home this summer break. I'm just being realistic】

On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Xie Yin's words, so everyone didn't pay too much attention.

After all, they had already gotten used to Song Anan's top student status.

So the other guests also chimed in to recall their own college days.

Xie Yin glanced at Song Anan and asked curiously, "By the way, little auntie, have you ever skipped class before?"

Song Anan blinked. "Skip class?"

Song Anan smiled and said, "Everyone says that a college experience without skipping classes is incomplete, right?"

Her tone and expression seemed to imply that she assumed Song Anan had also skipped classes before.

Song Anan shook her head and answered truthfully, "No, I haven't."

Skipping classes wasn't a good thing, so why did she have to do it?

Song Anan didn't really understand.

【Hmm...why do I feel like Xie Yin is becoming a little inappropriate?】

【Could it be that I'm the only one who feels her words are passive aggressive?!】

【Oh my god! What does Xie Yin mean? Is she trying to throw shade at me?!】

【Some fans are too sensitive. Our Xie Yin was just sharing her thoughts, don't read too much into it.】

【I've wanted to say this for a while - isn't Song Anan being fake? My cousin went to the same university but she wasn't like Song Anan, who acts like she needs to study all the time.】

【I've had the same thought! Does Song Anan want to create anxiety? She acts like she can't be separated from her books. Come on, you're in college, do you need to be like this?】

【Damn! What's wrong with this society? If you don't work hard yourself, you can't stand seeing someone else work hard!】

The others were not fools either. Even if they didn't think much of it at first, after Xie Yin brought up Song Anan multiple times, they realized something was off.

If it was someone else, skipping a few classes in college wasn't a big deal.

But their impression of Song Anan had always been of a good student. If she said she skipped classes, it would seem out of character.

If she said she didn't skip any, it might seem unbelievable.

After all, when wrongdoing becomes commonplace, innocence becomes a sin.

Pei Kuang's mouth curved up in a cold smile. He looked at Xie Yin and asked, "An incomplete college experience without skipping classes? What, if you don't skip classes the school won't let you graduate?"

"Or are you encouraging students to skip class?"

Xie Yin was taken aback and quickly waved her hands. "Sorry, I might have expressed myself poorly. That's not what I meant."

"Oh? Then what did you mean?" Pei Kuang continued questioning her. "Sorry, I didn't go to college so I really don't understand much about this."

Xie Yin was left speechless.

What did she mean? She didn't even know why she had that impulse to make things difficult for Song Anan earlier.

Song Anan pursed her lips and looked between Pei Kuang and Xie Yin, feeling a little awkward.

She wasn't stupid. She sensed Xie Yin's hostility towards her earlier.

But Song Anan was confused - she didn't think they had any conflicts before, they didn't even really know each other. So why was Xie Yin targeting her?

Just as she was deep in thought trying to figure it out, Pei Kuang stood up for her and confronted Xie Yin.

But Song Anan didn't want Pei Kuang to feel embarrassed later. He really liked Xie Yin after all.

So Song Anan decided to resolve this issue herself.

She looked at Xie Yin earnestly and explained, "It's true I've never skipped class. I don't know about other majors, but for clinical medicine, almost all the classes are always full."

Except for the occasional excused absence.

Hearing Song Anan's words, everyone suddenly understood.

That's right, Song Anan was a medical student!

Students in other majors might be able to skate by, but not medical students.

Because they dealt with lives, and needed to be responsible for their future patients.

【I suddenly understand why little sister always has her nose in a book, even during holidays - because she knows the weight of responsibility she carries.】

【As a medical student myself, I can tell you studying medicine is difficult. High school was nothing compared to this.】

【Right, if even medical students don't study diligently, how could we trust them to treat us in the future?】

【Waaah, little sister will definitely become an outstanding doctor in the future! Keep at it, you're worth it!】
