Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 47

No one had expected this kind of accident to happen. Fortunately, Zheng Keke fell from less than two meters up. When she landed, her injuries didn’t look very serious, and she was quickly sent for medical treatment.

When an artist had an accident, her manager finally got anxious. She rushed to the scene in a dusty and weary state to find the person in charge and demand an explanation.

At this time, the scene had not yet emerged from chaos. Wang Hua and the producer dragged out the staff member who had made the mistake and tore him apart verbally. That middle aged man kept his brows drooping, his shoulders hunched, not daring to retort half a sentence.

A woman in a black business suit questioned sharply and fiercely, “Keke got injured here, and you’re still asking me what to do? I should be asking you how you plan to take responsibility for this matter?!”

“Sorry sorry, Xingqing. We didn’t want this kind of thing to happen either. It’s bad for you and bad for me.” The producer spoke kindly and gently, “We will definitely bear the full cost of medical expenses.”

Xia Xingqing asked again, “Only medical expenses? With things like this, does she still have to continue filming? We need rest!”

The producer had a face full of difficulty. He turned to look at Wang Hua. Wang Hua sighed, “Let’s wait for news from the hospital first. See how badly Keke is injured.”

Xia Xingqing said, “I hope you won’t take artists’ safety as a joke anymore! Do you know what rumors are spreading outside right now??”

Over there, the argument was so fierce it couldn’t be settled. Zhao Kaile opened Weibo and looked. Sure enough, rumors were flying everywhere.

Zhao Kaile, “…”

Zhan Hang said, “Stop looking. They’re all fake reports leeching off the heat.”

“It looks like the remaining scenes for today can’t be filmed.” Zhao Kaile sighed, “Zheng Keke is pretty unlucky too.”

“Let’s see how Wang Hua arranges things.” Zhan Hang said, “Even if Zheng Keke only received light injuries and it doesn’t affect the remaining tail end filming, Xia Xingqing won’t easily let this matter be brushed aside. There will be drama from them.”

Zhao Kaile made a sound of agreement, then couldn’t help looking at Li Yang’s position. After Zheng Keke was taken to the car, Li Yang had calmly sat back in the rest tent, seemingly not anxious at all.

Is this person really this cold?

Over there, Xia Xingqing received a call from the hospital and learned that Zheng Keke had only injured her ankle. She finally let out a breath of relief.

The producer repeatedly guaranteed that the following filming wouldn’t have problems again, “Xingqing, look, we’ve collaborated on so many big projects and big IPs before, and we’ve never had this kind of problem right? This was truly an accident among accidents. Give us a bit more trust, okay?”

Xia Xingqing frowned, not yielding an inch, saying word by word, “Keke needs rest.”

“Then rest for one week.” Wang Hua took the initiative to compromise, “For the remaining scenes, we’ll delete what we can. How does that sound?”

Hearing this, Xia Xingqing sized up the two of them and finally agreed to relent, “Fine, since Director Wang has spoken, then it’s settled. I’ll try to send her back as early as possible.”

The producer nodded repeatedly and shook her hand gratefully.

Xia Xingqing politely shook hands with him for a few seconds, then turned to leave.

Seeing they had finished talking, Zhan Hang took his coffee over and greeted her with a smile, “Sister Qing.”

Xia Xingqing was called to a stop. She looked up at him and showed a bit of surprised smile, “Zhan Hang? Right, I heard Wenqian mention that you also joined this crew.”

“Yeah.” Zhan Hang handed her the coffee, “Americano.”

“Thanks.” Xia Xingqing exhaled, “I’ve been busy from the moment I woke up until now. I haven’t even had time to drink a sip of water. Every call I get is about something going wrong somewhere.”

Zhan Hang comforted her, “Anyway, the person is fine. It’s just that the online gossip will probably be quite a headache to deal with.”

“Yeah.” Xia Xingqing drank a few mouthfuls of coffee and laughed bitterly, “In this area, I really can’t compare to Bai Li.”

“If you need, I can help you mention it to her.” Zhan Hang said with a smile, “I have nothing going on. Just bringing you a cup of coffee. You go be busy.”

“Alright then, sister is leaving.” Xia Xingqing shook her cup at him, “Thanks for your coffee.” Then she left with her people.

Zhan Hang watched her walk away. Zhao Kaile followed behind and said, “So you had me buy coffee not for yourself to drink…”

“What do you understand, this is called human connection.” Zhan Hang reined in his smile and sat back in the rest tent with a cool and aloof air.

Zhao Kaile asked, “What did she say just now, Wenqian mentioned? Wenqian is Zhang Wenqian?”

Zhan Hang, “She is Zhang Wenqian’s manager.”

Zhao Kaile, “!!!”

“Why so surprised?” Zhan Hang mocked, “She can’t dispatch Zhang Wenqian here on the spot. It’s useless for you to build connections with her.”

Zhao Kaile let out a regretful ah and comfortingly patted his own chest twice.

In the afternoon, Wang Hua temporarily adjusted the filming schedule. Zhan Hang’s scenes were changed again and again. Waiting for Zheng Keke to come back and film one more scene together, then they could basically wrap.

The plot followed the part where the male lead saves a female extra who was being coerced. The younger brother played by Zhan Hang covered for the two of them to escape together. The female extra kept leaning in Li Yang’s arms, basically having no lines. Zhan Hang was closest and clearly felt that these two were using the acting to be all lovey dovey and exchange hidden glances. He instantly felt disgusted beyond measure.

When they came off set, Zhan Hang didn’t immediately leave. He only frowned and looked at Li Yang. The latter seemed to know he had something to say to him and deliberately waited a moment. “Zheng Keke is still in the hospital.” Zhan Hang said in a low voice, “Aren’t you being too brazen?”

Li Yang seemed to find it very unexpected, “Strange? Brother Hang, I thought you weren’t someone who would make a fuss over this kind of thing.”

Zhan Hang coldly watched him for a moment, didn’t say anything more, picked up his sword and turned to leave.

However, Li Yang really seemed to not realize that Zhan Hang’s tolerance for this kind of thing was very low. After wrapping up, he even proactively caught up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “I organized a gathering tonight, Brother Hang. I guarantee there will be what you need there. Coming?”

Zhao Kaile saw Zhan Hang’s expression wasn’t good and hurriedly went up to separate his hand, “No need no need, thanks Brother Yang. Brother Hang wants to sleep early tonight.”

“You can’t represent him.” Li Yang said patiently, “Brother Hang, I’ll wait for you. I sent the address to your WeChat.”

Zhao Kaile had a face full of difficulty.

Zhan Hang opened his mouth and asked, “What kind of gathering? What do you mean by what I need? What do you think I need?”

Li Yang smiled, “You know.”

“I don’t know.” Zhan Hang said coldly, “Li Yang, I haven’t done the clique forming and gang building thing since I debuted. Who gave you the confidence to think you can recruit me into your little group? I don’t care what dirty dealings you’re doing behind the scenes. Don’t drag me into it. I don’t want to die with you.”

Li Yang had an innocent face, “Brother Hang, I’m just inviting you to dinner. I have no other thoughts. You’ve really misunderstood me.”

Jin Mengjie hurriedly said, “Yes yes, Brother Hang, don’t be angry. We really don’t have any other meaning.”

Their tone was sincere, their wording careful. Zhao Kaile almost believed them and hesitantly looked at Zhan Hang.

Zhan Hang was unmoved. He only watched Li Yang indifferently.

Li Yang sighed and said helplessly, “I know we’re actually the same kind of person, so I sincerely wanted to be friends with you. Not the kind that just puts arms around shoulders on the surface.”

Zhan Hang moved his eyebrows, “The same kind of person?”

“Yeah.” Li Yang suddenly laughed, leaned in close to his ear and quietly said something.

Zhao Kaile saw Zhan Hang’s face undergo a visible change. He frowned and looked at Li Yang, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Li Yang backed away a bit and smiled, “We’re brothers in the drama, so don’t be so distant outside the drama either. Am I right, Brother Hang?”

Zhan Hang’s fist was tightly clenched, his eyes full of dark clouds, as if he were about to swing at his face the next second. Zhao Kaile hurriedly said, “Then let’s talk about it later. We still have some matters back at the hotel, Brother Hang?”

“…” Zhan Hang was silent for a moment, then miraculously held back, taking Zhao Kaile back to his own car.

Passing staff members looked at them curiously, but didn’t look too much and left one after another.

Li Yang stood in place, hissing, “This guy is really fucking hard to handle.”

“Yangyang, we shouldn’t be too rushed.” Jin Mengjie said a bit worriedly, “After all, Zhao Kaile still has gossip about you in his hands.”

Li Yang said completely unconcerned, “If he dares to leak it, I’ll leak Zhan Hang’s black material too. Worst case, we die together.”

Jin Mengjie said, “There’s no need to make it so mutually destructive…”

“Enough, stop nagging. You’re more annoying than my mom.” Li Yang tightened his coat and said, “Check the schedule and arrange a time to go see Zheng Keke. Give the CP fans an explanation on Weibo.”

Jin Mengjie nodded.

After returning to the hotel, Zhan Hang had already locked himself in the bathroom for an hour and still hadn’t come out. Zhao Kaile panicked and carefully knocked on the door from outside, “Brother Hang? Brother Hang, why is there no movement from you? Are you okay? Are you alright?”

Zhan Hang’s voice came from inside, impatient, “Stop bothering me. I want to be alone for a while.”

Zhao Kaile had no choice but to stop making noise. He sat outside and sent a message to Bai Li.

Bai Li replied quickly, “You didn’t hear what Li Yang said?”

Zhao Kaile, “No… he spoke very quietly.”

Bai Li, “It must be black material from Zhan Hang’s past. It seems I misjudged. I previously thought Li Yang was a good little sheep to handle. I didn’t expect he would turn out to be a black belly.”

Zhao Kaile, “He really is not a thing.”

Bai Li, “Right now we don’t know exactly what black material he has in his hands. Zhan Hang’s reaction is this severe. It looks like it won’t be easy to handle.”

Zhao Kaile, “Can I do anything?”

Bai Li, “Just stay with him. Don’t let him do anything impulsive. I’ll have someone investigate first.”

Zhao Kaile, “Okay.”

He put away his phone, thinking that actually Brother Hang had already tried very hard. Just now he clearly wanted to beat up Li Yang, but in the end he held back.

Past ten o’clock, Zhan Hang was finally willing to come out. His forehead hair still had some water droplets on it. It looked like he had washed his face with cold water many times to calm down. Zhao Kaile was dozing off and quickly bounced up upon seeing this.

Zhan Hang didn’t look at him and said, “I’m fine. Go back and sleep.”

Zhao Kaile’s tone was a bit disappointed, “Oh.”
