Chapter 94

Song Anan stood blankly in front of the dean's office, looking very innocent.

"Anan, why are you standing at the door? Isn't Dean Jing in?"

The one speaking was Director Wu from the teaching office. He pointed at the office behind him in confusion and asked.

Song Anan came back to her senses and quickly waved her hand. "No no, the teacher is inside. Director Wu, please go in."

After that, she nodded at Director Wu and then immediately turned around and ran away.

Song Anan was puzzled, why did everyone think she hadn't been in a relationship before?

Earlier, it was Song Linchuan, and now even her teacher thought so too.

Could it be because of her single dog face?

Otherwise, how could everyone subconsciously think she was single without even asking?

She thought about it all the way but still didn't understand where the problem was. Song Anan had originally wanted to go back to the dormitory and ask Li Sirui, but unexpectedly, as soon as she pushed the door open,

"Ke, Xiaodi, you're back!" Song Anan was very happy to see the two of them. "I thought you wouldn't be able to move back until tomorrow."

Counting it, the two had just finished their internship in the international department this morning. She didn't expect they would move back so quickly this afternoon.

Because she was close to the door, when Cheng Ke saw Song Anan come in, she rushed over and gave her a big bear hug. "Wuwuwu, little Anan, I missed you so much."

Song Anan smiled and hugged her back. "We missed you and Xiaodi too."

It was not easy for the roommates in the dormitory to get together, and coincidentally none of them were busy tonight. Naturally, they had to go out and eat to celebrate.

They chose a hot pot restaurant near the school. It had a good reputation, and the customers were usually students from the school. The prices were not high either.

When the four Song Anan arrived, they happened to get the last private room left.

After they entered, everyone discussed and ordered a yinyang pot, as well as some hot pot ingredients.

"Let's just order these for now. We can add more later if needed," Cheng Ke said. "Come on, let's see what we want to drink."

Li Sirui suggested, "We haven't gotten together for so long. How about drinking some wine?"

Cheng Ke joked, "We don't have a problem, but Anan should pass. Just drink sour plum juice for her, the one drink wonder."

Sitting to the side, Cai Xiaodi couldn't help but ask, "Anan, are you really a one drink wonder? Isn't that an exaggeration from the senior students?"

Ever since Song Anan got drunk that time, her reputation as a 'one drink wonder' had spread throughout their hospital. Not only their own department, but even the international department had heard about it.

Many classmates and senior students who knew Song Anan sent messages to ask if it was true, leaving Song Anan very speechless.

Song Anan laughed helplessly, "Why don't I drink some today and show you?"

Hearing this, Li Sirui quickly interrupted, "No, don't do it!"

"I can testify to this. Otherwise we'll have to carry her back later."

After saying that, she covered her chest with one hand and made a lingering fear expression, making the others laugh loudly.

Soon the dishes came up. The four of them happily started eating while sharing gossip they heard during their recent internships.

In the hospital, you could meet all kinds of people every day. Where there were many people, there was never a lack of gossip. All kinds of unbelievable things could happen.

Even someone like Song Anan who didn't really gossip had listened with great interest.

The chatting got more and more lively. Other than Song Anan, the other three had drank quite a lot unknowingly. Especially Cai Xiaodi, her face was flushed from the alcohol. She was clearly somewhat drunk already.

Seeing this, Song Anan couldn't help but advise, "Xiaodi, stop drinking. Have some sour plum juice instead."

Cai Xiaodi waved her hand. "I'm fine. I'll go to the bathroom first."

After saying that, she got up staggering and swaying to go out. Cheng Ke was right next to her and quickly followed to help support her and accompany her to the bathroom.

"What's wrong with Xiaodi?" Song Anan turned and asked Li Sirui. "I feel like she's a bit unhappy."

Li Sirui glanced at Cai Xiaodi and sighed. "I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Xiaodi just went through a breakup."

Song Anan exclaimed, "Ah! Broke up!"

"How is that possible? Weren't she and her boyfriend always doing very well?"

Cai Xiaodi and her boyfriend had been together for almost four years. Their relationship had always been quite stable.

Last year her boyfriend went abroad to study for his postgraduate degree. The two had even discussed getting married when he returned. How could they have suddenly broken up.

Upon hearing about Cai Xiaodi's boyfriend, Li Sirui hated it so much her teeth itched. "I don't know the details either. Cheng Ke just mentioned it to me briefly. I heard it was her boyfriend who proposed breaking up, just a couple days ago."

Song Anan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask more, but Cheng Ke happened to come back supporting the drunken Cai Xiaodi, so she had to put it aside for now.

After the two sat down, looking at Cai Xiaodi's red-rimmed eyes, she had clearly cried. Song Anan didn't know how to comfort her, she could only pour a glass of water and hand it to her.

"Xiaodi, drink some water first."

Cai Xiaodi took Song Anan's water and pulled out a very reluctant smile. "Thank you, Anan."

Seeing her like this, Cheng Ke could no longer stand it. "Xiaodi, don't hold it in. If you want to cry then cry, if you want to curse that jerk, we'll curse with you. Don't worry, we're all here."

Song Anan and Li Sirui also nodded heavily to indicate they were on her side forever.

Cai Xiaodi could no longer hold back. With a 'wa' sound she cried out, "He said we haven't seen each other for a year, our feelings have faded, and he wants to break up with me."

Cheng Ke angrily drank another glass of beer and gnashed her teeth. "Bullshit faded feelings. Don't be silly, he clearly just has a new love!"

The international department had two people dorm rooms. Cheng Ke and Cai Xiaodi had been living together all along, so she naturally also knew some inside information.

Upon hearing this, Li Sirui quickly asked, "What do you mean? That dog dared to cheat!"

Seeing that Cai Xiaodi didn't object, Cheng Ke didn't keep it a secret anymore and told the whole story.

It turned out that while Cai Xiaodi's boyfriend was studying abroad, he had gotten very close with another female international student in his program. The two shared the same advisor.

Once, that female student posted a photo of her and Cai Xiaodi's boyfriend looking intimate on social media. When Cai Xiaodi confronted her boyfriend about it, he denied it and said they were just classmates and that she was overthinking things.

Cai Xiaodi sobbed, "Actually, when he first wanted to go abroad, I was very hesitant. Long distance relationships are hard to maintain, not to mention international ones. But no matter how insecure I felt, I couldn't get in the way of his future. I didn't expect this to happen in the end."

Song Anan was stunned.

She still vividly remembered the scene when Cai Xiaodi's boyfriend confessed to her. That boy who had been so nervous he stuttered during his confession, and had even cried while swearing to always treat her well, had actually changed his heart?

Were international relationships really so hard to maintain?

Cai Xiaodi seemed to have found an outlet and started talking on her own. "He actually said, he's just an ordinary person. In a foreign land, with a person who is with him all day, caring for him and fawning over him, it's normal for him to develop feelings."

"Bullshit, it's all bullshit. If you lose feelings, then just say it. Still so many excuses, scum..."

In the second half of the gathering, no one cared about eating anymore. Cai Xiaodi would cry and curse by turns. Li Sirui and Cheng Ke cursed along with her while Song Anan, not knowing how to curse, could only hand Cai Xiaodi tissues from time to time.

When the four of them left the hot pot restaurant, Cai Xiaodi was already dead drunk and unconscious. She had drank several more bottles of beer later on. Seeing how upset she was, the others didn't stop her and just let her vent.

This was better than keeping it bottled up inside after all. Once she got drunk, cried it out, and felt the pain, she could start to get over it.

Walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Li Sirui and Cheng Ke supported Cai Xiaodi on both sides.

Song Anan followed on the side carrying their bags, but she had been absent-minded the whole way.

When they finally got back to the dorm, they laid Cai Xiaodi on the bed. Cheng Ke had a hard time getting her to drink a cup of honey water.

Unlike Song Anan, Cai Xiaodi was very rowdy when drunk. On top of her distressed emotions, after getting back to the dorm, she thrashed around for over an hour before finally falling asleep exhausted. It was quite late now. Cheng Ke was the first to go wash up in the bathroom.

Li Sirui noticed Song Anan was still spacing out and asked with concern, "Anan, are you alright?"

Song Anan snapped back to reality and shook her head. "I'm fine, just a bit tired."

"Oh," Song Anan said without thinking too much. "Then Cheng Ke will come out later. You can go in first and wash up. You can sleep earlier after you're done washing up."

After washing up and lying in bed, Song Anan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep at all because she had something on her mind.

Teacher had just talked about going abroad today, so she found out about Cai Xiaodi's matter. She really couldn't help but overthink.

To be honest, the temptations around Pei Kuang were definitely incomparable to Cai Xiaodi's boyfriend. Didn't she run into the incident of the actress knocking on the door late at night when she went to the set last time?

Moreover, the two of them had been together for such a short period of time.

What if when she went abroad, he would also feel that their feelings had faded...

Song Anan knew that it was wrong to think this way, but she just couldn't help it.

Turning over, she took her phone out from under her pillow and found Pei Kuang's WeChat page. She hesitated for a moment before sending him a message.

"Are you asleep?"

When Pei Kuang saw Song Anan's message, he was a little surprised. He knew that she was having dinner with her roommate tonight, so he thought they wouldn't be in contact tonight.

He put down the towel he was using to dry his hair and replied, "Not yet, I just finished taking a shower."

"Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Hiding under the quilt, Song Anan slowly replied, "Can't sleep, miss you a bit, want to chat with you."

After saying that, she added another sentence, "Do you have time?"

Pei Kuang raised his brows slightly, his eyes full of smiles, "It's so late already, others definitely don't, but my girlfriend, she must be online 24 hours a day, any time."

Looking at the screen, Song Anan couldn't help but smile.

She contemplated for a moment before typing, "Pei Kuang, what do you think about long-distance relationships?"

In fact, she wanted to ask, can you accept a long-distance international relationship? But after thinking about it, she still changed the question.

Seeing this question, Pei Kuang was visibly stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why Song Anan would suddenly ask this question, he still replied very seriously.

"I think long-distance relationships are painful, but also sweet. Like us for example, due to my work, to a certain extent we're also considered a type of long-distance relationship, we can't meet often, of course we'll miss each other, and in this longing there's pain, but also the sweetness of being cared for by each other."

Song Anan stared blankly at the message. She hesitated for a moment, typed out a paragraph in the editing box but deleted it after thinking about it, only replying with one word: "Oh."

Seeing Song Anan's message, Pei Kuang subconsciously frowned. He saw that the other party kept displaying "Typing..." on the WeChat page just now. What did she want to say?

He hesitated and asked, "An An, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Song Anan replied, "No reason, I just happened to chat about this topic with my roommate today. You sleep early."

Pei Kuang paused for a moment before replying, "Okay, you sleep early too, good night."

After putting down his phone, Pei Kuang's eyebrows were still slightly furrowed.

Song Anan's reaction just now was definitely not like nothing was going on.

He knew her too well. The little girl was someone who couldn't hide anything. She would usually ask directly about any matter, sometimes catching him off guard with her bluntness.

But this time she was clearly beating around the bush and trying to test the waters, and because she wasn't good at it, her attempt at probing was very naive.

Pei Kuang could confirm that Song Anan must have encountered something, it should be something very important.

Most likely it was also related to him.

Could it be that she was not confident about long-distance relationships, or rather, that she didn't like this kind of long-distance relationship model anymore?

Thinking of this, Pei Kuang didn't hesitate anymore. Picking up his phone that he had tossed aside, he sent Li Dong a message.

"Help me ask for a few days off from the crew, something urgent came up!"
