Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 46

After one strict crackdown, the sasaeng fans temporarily had no major movements. They passed one week with alarm but no danger. Zhao Kaile’s serialized novel was also nearing its end, taking five months and nearly two million words.

When Zhan Hang had free time and saw the grand finale, he almost went crazy. He grabbed Zhao Kaile’s collar and shook him back and forth, “You fucking killed off the Snake Woman?!?!”

“…” Zhao Kaile said with a blank expression, “She committed countless evils. Being able to keep a whole corpse is already pretty good.”

Zhan Hang said indignantly, “Trash!”

Zhao Kaile’s heart was completely unrippled and he even somewhat wanted to laugh. His homepage these past few days was full of curses from the book fans who liked the Snake Woman. He was already used to it by now.

Editor Xiao Mian sent a message asking, “Lord Wang, what do you plan to write next? #sparkly eyes.”

“Rest for a period of time.” Zhao Kaile replied, “I’m done outputting. This period I need to input some nutrients back into my brain.”

Xiao Mian, “Okay, tell me when you start a new pit! #cute.”

Zhan Hang was still being relentless over there, “I don’t care, I want to see a side story. You write a Snake Woman rebirth.”

“But this world view doesn’t have a rebirth setting.” Zhao Kaile said speechlessly.

Zhan Hang, “Then you write it. What died was her body double. Her real body was actually protected inside the Thousand Layer Pagoda long ago…”

“You write it you write it, here’s the keyboard.” Zhao Kaile couldn’t be bothered to deal with him. He held the clothes Zhan Hang had changed out of and turned to leave.

Zhan Hang had an incredulous face, “Zhao Kaile, I’m your boss, and you dare talk back to me again??”

Zhao Kaile walked out quickly and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Zhan Hang, “…”

At the stairwell, a long haired woman wearing sunglasses and a mask nearly collided with him head on. Zhao Kaile barely stopped his footsteps and gave way.

That woman completely ignored him, as if his presence was simply irrelevant, and walked straight toward the end of the corridor.

Zhao Kaile frowned and watched for a while, then showed a surprised expression, because the room she entered was not anyone else’s but Li Yang’s. He stood in place recalling the appearance of that girl named Xiao Ran. Short hair, relatively short stature, not as tall and slender as the one just now.

In other words, she was not Xiao Ran.

In other words…

Zhao Kaile was completely baffled as he threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, then started scrubbing Zhan Hang’s underwear.

In other words, Li Yang has two non industry girlfriends? Wait, not necessarily girlfriends either. But what kind of person would sneak into Li Yang’s room at night like a ghost? It should be a girlfriend right… If it were someone else, without a middle person greeting them, the security on several floors wouldn’t just let anyone in.

When he went back, he couldn’t help but drift a bit closer to Li Yang’s door. However, the hotel’s soundproofing was pretty good. He didn’t hear any movement. Instead, the door behind him opened. Zhan Hang was standing there with his arms crossed, watching him with a blank expression, directly making Zhao Kaile’s back feel a trace of chill.

“!!” Zhao Kaile turned around and was so frightened he nearly cried out, barely holding it in, “Brother Hang you… what are you doing.”

“What are you doing?” Zhan Hang grabbed him and pulled him into the room, “What are you doing crouching at someone else’s door?”

“I I I wasn’t…” Zhao Kaile vaguely brushed it off, turned around and opened his wardrobe, organizing the clothes that had dried today and stuffing them back in.

Zhan Hang sat to the side drinking tea, “I said you’ve been staring at Li Yang these past few days… You’re not a fan of Zhang Wenqian anymore?”

“How could that be!” Zhao Kaile felt greatly wronged, “My love for Zhang Wenqian is until death do us part.”

Zhan Hang moved his eyebrows in displeasure.

Zhao Kaile hurriedly said, “For you too for you too.”

Zhan Hang said, “Since it’s not liking him, then it’s looking at him with displeasure, wanting to mess with him?”

Zhao Kaile had a head full of black lines, thinking do you think I’m you!!

Zhan Hang clicked his tongue, “Speak, gone mute again?”

“Hoo…” Zhao Kaile let out a long breath, as if making a very big decision, “Brother Hang, I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve been holding it in for a long time. Don’t tell anyone else.”

Zhan Hang, “Mm, go ahead.”

Zhao Kaile, “It’s just, Li Yang has a non industry girlfriend named Xiao Ran. She loves him very much. But, Li Yang betrayed her. Today he secretly met with another woman, and right now that woman is in his room.”

After Zhan Hang heard this, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Having poured out the long hidden secret in one go, Zhao Kaile felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He said lightly, “That’s how it is. But I swore to him that I absolutely wouldn’t tell anyone. You must help me protect this secret, otherwise I’ll be struck by heavenly thunder.”

Zhan Hang, “…”

The two looked at each other for a moment. Zhan Hang then said, “Li Yang and Zheng Keke have confirmed their relationship. Everyone in the circle knows.”

Zhao Kaile, “!!!”

Scum man! Big scum man! Playboy carrot!

He immediately became furious, “Damn it, this octopus! He even threatened me not to tell anyone, and checked my phone!”

“Do you have any ambition at all, Zhao Kaile?” Hearing this, Zhan Hang’s face showed frustrated disappointment, “You’re holding his secret and you got threatened by him? You should be asking him for hush money, you know?”

Zhao Kaile, “I don’t have experience in this area…”

“Forget it, meddle less in this kind of idle business next time.” Zhan Hang said, “Just pretend you don’t know.”

Zhao Kaile was heartbroken, “Okay.”

However, although the two had privately agreed to pretend they didn’t know, when they saw Li Yang himself the next day, there was still a bit more complex emotion in their eyes. It was unclear whether Li Yang himself felt it or not.

Today there was a wirework scene. Zheng Keke refused to go up no matter what. Several directors took turns doing ideological work on her, painstakingly telling her that this scene couldn’t use a stunt double and couldn’t use green screen compositing. But she didn’t buy it, and instead sulkily locked herself in her car.

Wang Hua frowned and called her manager. The other party only played Tai Chi, saying that as long as their artist’s safety was guaranteed, any degree of action scene was acceptable… Not mentioning a single word about going to persuade her themselves, pushing the pot back to the production crew.

Li Yang said to him, “I’ll go persuade her.” Then he slipped into Zheng Keke’s car.

Zhao Kaile had a suspicious expression, his gaze following him all the way into the car. Jin Mengjie took a rolled up paper and knocked his head, laughing as she asked, “What are you looking at so seriously?”

“No no.” Zhao Kaile laughed dryly and hurriedly said, “I was just lost in thought about something… Are you resting?”

Asking this question was like asking the renovation worker who was renovating your home, “Master, what kind of work do you do?” It belonged to social nonsense.

Jin Mengjie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Yeah, our Keke isn’t cooperating with work, so the whole crew has to be delayed along with her.”

“Let me ask you something.” Zhao Kaile leaned over and whispered, “Are Li Yang and Zheng Keke real?”

Jin Mengjie also whispered, “Then you tell me first, are Zhan Hang and Zhang Wenqian real?”

Zhao Kaile made an exclamation, “So stingy, sis. Those two are definitely hype.”

“They’re hype too.” Jin Mengjie said with a grin, “Recently Zheng Keke’s company is going all out buying her hot searches, somewhat imitating the former hot search queen’s style. Maybe they’re preparing to take up her senior’s mantle. After filming this drama, she’ll blow up. In Carat is preparing to have her as their cover female model. The male model hasn’t been decided yet, but if there are no surprises, it should be our Yangyang.”

Zhao Kaile, “So that’s how it is…”

Inside the car.

Zheng Keke sat there sulking, smoothing her hair, looking at Li Yang sideways, “What did you come in for? This is almost three meters high. What if I accidentally fall? Who can take responsibility?”

“Isn’t the photographer also standing that high?” Li Yang squatted half before her, coaxing, “It’s almost finished filming. We don’t have many days left to spend alone together. Just honestly finish filming, okay?”

Zheng Keke said grievously, “I think you’re hoping something happens to me.”

“How could that be?” Li Yang shouted injustice, “What good would it do me if you got hurt? Baby, how could you think that?”

“What are you filming next?” Zheng Keke’s emotions had clearly been soothed quite a bit. She asked in a low voice, “Which female artist are you acting opposite?”

Li Yang kissed the back of her hand and said with a smile, “It’s hard to say whether I can even get any roles. This is my first time taking a male lead role. Sister Tina wants to see my performance and fan response.”

“Wang Hua seems quite satisfied with you.” Zheng Keke pouted slightly, “But he’s not satisfied with me. Not a single scene without him calling cut. Always reshoot reshoot, so annoying.”

Li Yang stood up and kissed her face again, “He’s responsible for the drama, responsible for your reputation. That’s a good thing. Baby, let’s not be angry anymore okay? Go out and apologize to Director Wang, mm?”

Zheng Keke thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Li Yang laughed, “Baby is so great!”

The two were sticky and clinging for a while, then got out of the car one after another.

Zheng Keke apologized to Wang Hua as promised. The latter had no temper and accepted it gladly, having the assistant redo Zheng Keke’s makeup.

Zhao Kaile clearly saw her lips were much more rosy than before she went in, and couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

Zhan Hang finished his scene with the second female lead and came off set. Zhao Kaile hurriedly dragged a chair over for him to sit.

“After these two dramas finish filming, I can finally rest.” Zhan Hang leaned tiredly against the chair back, stretching his neck and back.

Zhao Kaile massaged him, answered absentmindedly, and looked toward Zheng Keke.

The staff were adjusting her wirework equipment. Zheng Keke’s expression still couldn’t be called happy. She only stood in place listlessly.

Zhan Hang followed his gaze and said disdainfully, “The newcomers that have popped up these past few years are getting more and more fond of throwing their weight around. They dare to talk back to the director right off the bat.”

Zhao Kaile asked in confusion, “Is she afraid of heights?”

“If you’re afraid of heights, don’t eat from this bowl.” Zhan Hang closed his eyes, his tone cold.

Zhao Kaile nodded somewhat understandingly.

In the distance, Zheng Keke was suspended to two meters high. Her legs were already starting to tremble.

Wang Hua held the walkie talkie and issued the start filming command. All equipment began operating.

Li Yang was also attached to wires. The two each held a sword and flew past each other in mid air, which counted as getting one shot. Wang Hua frowned watching, clearly somewhat dissatisfied. But Zheng Keke’s face was truly too terrible, so he had no choice but to direct people to lower her down.

Right at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

The staff member holding the wire rope seemed to step on something and slipped. For a moment he didn’t hold steady and let go. Zheng Keke immediately fell straight down, dragging the other rope holding staff member straight out several meters along with her.

The set instantly exploded into chaos. The female assistant screamed, followed by an uproar.
