Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 14

Zhao Kaile hurriedly looked up the synopsis for the Blind Swordsman film, flipped through some stills, then looked back at Zhan Hang wearing his eye mask, and discovered that he really was everywhere.

Before getting close to him, he had face blindness toward all celebrities. Unless it was an old actor with extremely extremely high national recognition and deep seniority, he might possibly remember the person’s name. Even if he couldn’t remember the name, he could say which drama they played which character in. Ever since becoming Zhan Hang’s assistant, one more face had been added to his celebrity memory list. He also discovered that long ago, he had already seen Zhan Hang acting in all kinds of TV shows and films. Lu Jiayin said sadly: “Lele, you didn’t even recognize him. Heaven is jealous of beautiful faces…….. Why isn’t Brother Hang more famous.”

Zhao Kaile silently complained that is that how you use “heaven is jealous of beautiful faces,” but on the surface he seriously analyzed for her: “To this degree, it actually counts as quite famous already. Isn’t he only twenty five? He’s still very young.”

Lu Jiayin was a bit surprised: “Oh, have you already evolved into a die hard fan?”

Zhao Kaile awkwardly shushed her, pointed at Zhan Hang who was sleeping, and signaled her to keep her voice down. Lu Jiayin nodded in understanding, smiled teasingly, and turned back to browsing videos.

Meanwhile, the Old Man Zhan being discussed was wearing his eye mask completely motionless, seemingly having fallen into light sleep. Zhao Kaile caught up on some of Zhan Hang’s dramas and also felt a bit sleepy, so he leaned against the window and fell asleep too.

Several hours passed.

Zhao Kaile suddenly thought of the cats at home in his mind and instantly woke up. He immediately sat up in a panic, breathing heavily: “What about KIKI and TITI??”

Lu Jiayin was yawning and didn’t hear clearly what he was saying. She thought it was sleep talking and asked puzzled: “What? Did you have a nightmare?”

Zhan Hang had already removed his eye mask. He moved his thigh that had gone numb from pressure, and looked at Zhao Kaile with dark lines of confusion, while the latter had a completely clueless expression. Zhan Hang was too lazy to explain, and only said irritably: “By the time you remembered, they would have already starved to death.”

Only now did Lu Jiayin understand what they were talking about. She hurriedly said to Zhao Kaile: “I’ve already contacted those aunties to help feed them. When you go out for long periods in the future, you need to remember to tell them in advance.”

Zhao Kaile nodded oh oh, and jotted it down in his notebook.

Soon they arrived at the hotel entrance. When getting out of the car, Xiao Li and the others moved the luggage down one by one. Zhao Kaile, once shy twice familiar, knew to get out first and hold an umbrella for Zhan Hang, observing the surroundings with a serious expression.

Not far away, a black nanny van slowly drove up. The door opened and seven assistants and four bodyguards poured out. The one in the lead gave an order, and the two nearest to the door bent down and with a swish unrolled a red carpet. The two assistants at the tail end helped roll it to the hotel entrance. At this moment, a delicate jade hand gracefully extended from the car, resting on the back of an assistant’s hand. A female celebrity with large brown wavy curls and a red backless long dress slowly got out of the car, and with an arrogant expression began walking the red carpet.

The paparazzi who had long been waiting at the hotel entrance were already aiming their long guns and short cannons at her, snapping away frantically. The female celebrity showed an unhappy expression, stepped onto the hotel stairs in high heels, and “reluctantly” accepted an interview. The staff members were all stunned for a moment, and only after a good while did they react, hurrying forward to greet her.

The place where Zhan Hang and the others got out was relatively far from the entrance. The female celebrity arrived first, so the paparazzi hadn’t discovered them yet.

Lu Jiayin saw this and said in disbelief: “My goodness, Li Siyi is only playing a walk on role? Is this kind of spectacle necessary?” Zhao Kaile had a face full of “what is this???”

Zhan Hang said: “Back in the car. We’ll go over later.”

The boss had spoken and they had no choice but to obey. The group had to return to the car.

Zhao Kaile really couldn’t hold it in and asked: “Can you bring your own red carpet?”

Lu Jiayin showed a rather mocking smile: “You think? These marginal people will do anything to get famous. Bringing your own red carpet isn’t even that much. There are also those who hire people to pretend to be their own fans to scream on site. One time an auntie got her name wrong. It was hilarious……..”

“……..” Zhao Kaile felt completely unable to understand, frowned and nibbled his nail.

Lu Jiayin lowered her head and rummaged in her bag for a while, pulled out a few cans of cola and distributed them to Xiao Li and Zhao Kaile. When she looked at Zhan Hang, she said with a grin: “Brother Hang doesn’t get any.”

Zhan Hang glanced sideways at her, reached out and took a bottle of pure water to drink.

Zhao Kaile asked again: “Then why are we waiting here?”

Zhan Hang said coldly: “Waiting for her interview to end.”

Lu Jiayin went oh oh oh: “If Brother Hang goes over now, she’ll definitely pull him into some forced scandal. She talks slowly and tediously, it’ll definitely be another ten plus minutes. These paparazzi being here were probably invited by her own company to leak the news.”

Seeing Zhao Kaile still had a confused face, she proactively said: “This woman is terrifying. She’s famously misogynistic. Several of her female life assistants have already been abused into leaving. The current one is supposedly a butch lesbian…….. It’s different with men. Especially handsome men with higher status than her. The moment Brother Hang goes over, she’ll immediately change her face. Do you believe it or not?”

Zhao Kaile exclaimed in amazement: “Huh??”

Lu Jiayin: “Look at that look of hers looking down on people. She brought seven assistants into the crew for this tiny bit of screen time. Our Brother Hang only brought one!”

Zhao Kaile maintained his surprised expression and nodded, thinking that was probably because with Zhan Hang’s temper, it would be very hard to find the other six.

Zhan Hang propped his chin and pointed around in dissatisfaction: “Lu Jiayin, what kind of mess are you telling him? Instead of this, why not talk about how to serve me well on set.”

Zhao Kaile: “……..”

Lu Jiayin hurriedly said: “Oh my, got carried away chatting, sorry sorry.”

Zhan Hang asked again: “Who booked the hotel? Why are we at the same one as Li Siyi??”

“It’s me it’s me.” Lu Jiayin made a pleading gesture, tilted her head and acted pitiful: “Because there are no closer hotels nearby, hehe. Sorry to trouble you, Brother~ Hang~”

Zhan Hang pushed her head away and said displeasedly, uttering that classic phrase: “This is the last time.”

Ten plus minutes later, seeing that the crowd at the hotel entrance had mostly dispersed, the group quickly got out of the car.

Even though he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, a man still recognized that it was Zhan Hang, and immediately shouted: “Zhan Hang!!”

Some paparazzi who had already been planning to pack up didn’t expect there would be an unexpected bonus. They immediately moved at the news. Lu Jiayin cursed under her breath, told Zhao Kaile to protect Zhan Hang well and not let him get squeezed away. Zhao Kaile nodded frantically in fright. The media people swarmed in. After a period of chaos, Zhan Hang successfully passed through the paparazzi siege under the protection of the two, and reached the room entrance.

Zhao Kaile’s hair was squeezed into standing spikes. He leaned against the door panel gasping for breath: “Damn……. Now I know what bodyguards are for.”

Lu Jiayin wasn’t much better off either. She hurriedly took out a small mirror to fix her makeup, and complained: “This hotel’s security work is inadequate. They couldn’t even stop them at the lobby. I’ll think of something tonight.”

“Then we’ll talk about it later.” Zhan Hang removed his sunglasses and mask. His clothes and hairstyle were immaculate: “I’ll sleep a bit more. Call me when the ceremony starts. Get out.”

The two were expressionlessly driven out.

Zhao Kaile asked: “Sister Jiayin, should I rent a simple folding bed to set up for tonight?”

Lu Jiayin laughed and cried at the same time: “No no, I forgot about you. I’ll open another room for you in a bit. It’s still dangerous downstairs right now.”

“Oh.” Zhao Kaile reminded: “Brother Hang hasn’t had lunch yet.”

Lu Jiayin was sending messages on her phone: “You can order some first. Not too greasy. Too many carbs is no good either. Order one for yourself too.”

Zhao Kaile nodded.

Lu Jiayin added: “Try to wait for him to wake up naturally. Did I add you to the crew group chat?”

Zhao Kaile said blankly: “No.”

“No matter.” Lu Jiayin comforted herself: “Adding you in now is the same thing.”

A few seconds later Zhao Kaile entered the group. The group contained the director, the script supervisor, small extras, and various assistants and managers from each side. When he entered the group, a small extra enthusiastically greeted him. The others didn’t talk much. Zhao Kaile replied with a hug emoji.

The two temporarily couldn’t enter the room, so they went to sit in the lounge for a while, drinking free plain water and using free WiFi to browse Weibo.

However, they hadn’t sat for long when the sound of an argument came from the corridor.

The door was slammed open with force, and a sharp female voice said挑剔ly: “How can I live in such a dirty room?! Jessica! Change my hotel for me!”

Another male manager seeming to be from management hurriedly apologized: “Sorry Miss Li, what exactly doesn’t meet your satisfaction? We can adjust it immediately.”

Hearing this, Lu Jiayin’s gossip DNA immediately activated. She carefully moved to the door to check the commotion. It was also impressive that she could move so quietly despite wearing high heels. Zhao Kaile was also a bit curious, and moved behind her to crane his neck and peek.

A cleaning auntie around forty or fifty years old stood awkwardly to the side, saying softly: “I already cleaned it, manager. You can check.”

Several assistants also tried to persuade her a few sentences, but Li Siyi refused to let it go: “There is clearly a hair on the bedsheet okay?? If you cleaned it, would there be hair??”

The male manager bowed and apologized again: “It is our negligence. Then would it be acceptable to change you to a higher grade room?”

Li Siyi was like a screaming queen, shouting loudly: “No! Way!”

Zhao Kaile couldn’t quite watch anymore, and really wanted to deliver a justice iron fist. However, reality wasn’t a novel. If a small marginal person like him really dared to punch a D list female celebrity, he would definitely soon be invited to the police station for tea.

However, no one had expected that Zhan Hang was also in a room on the same floor. Even with simple sound insulation, he was extremely irritated by this high pitched female voice. He immediately got up, put on his slippers, and with a bang slammed open the door, roaring fiercely at Li Siyi: “What are you shouting about?! Do you think this hotel is your home? If you shout again, I’ll have someone throw you out!”

Li Siyi heard this in disbelief, then reacted that this was Zhan Hang, and said in astonishment: “Zhan……. Zhan…….”

The peeking Lu Jiayin exclaimed: “Damn, how did I forget about Brother Hang, with this noise he definitely can’t sleep!”

And behind her, Zhao Kaile had a face full of shock, his lips moving silently a few times.

The justice iron fist really came!

Damn! Zhan Hang is really explosively cool!
