Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 22

After half a month, Zhao Kaile had already gotten quite familiar with some of the staff members.

Zhan Hang was called away by the assistant director to discuss a scene, so Zhao Kaile hung out with a few staff members around his age listening to gossip.

The short haired girl with glasses had an expression of watching a good show, “It seems like it’s not Li Siyi’s scenes yet, why did she come so early?”

“What’s so strange about that? Lin Yiyi is done for, isn’t she?” A slick looking guy fanned himself with a hat and said, “She definitely came to audition for the female lead.”

A girl with a ponytail said with a face full of disdain, “She’s thinking too much. Even promoting the second female lead wouldn’t let her act in it.”

The glasses girl burst out laughing and hurriedly patted her arm, “Keep it down, don’t let her leg hairs hear.”

A slightly chubbier girl mocked, “Could there actually be her leg hairs in this crew? Now that would really be seeing a ghost.”

Zhao Kaile asked curiously, “Do you all hate Li Siyi that much?”

“Of course.” The ponytail girl saw his clueless face and eagerly gave him a rundown, “This lady was originally a model. She got spotted by a rich second generation in the industry who threw money at her to prop her up. She has had work done on at least four or five places! And she still thinks she’s so gorgeous. Her fans blow her up as a divine beauty every day. Wow, the powder on her face is thick enough to plaster a wall……..”

“She had no acting skills to begin with, and still loves to steal scenes.” The glasses girl added, “Last time she was on a variety show with my goddess, her moves to grab the camera were so obvious. And she still had to force her way into the center for the group photo. My god, she really can’t stand anyone prettier than her.”

The chubby girl laughed and swayed, “Laugh out loud, I know which time you’re talking about. Zhao Jingran was there too. In that segment, he only praised the top lady and didn’t praise Li Siyi. Li Siyi was so furious she could die. In the second half, the director didn’t even give her any shots. Probably her nose was crooked from anger, in the physical sense, so they didn’t dare film her.”

Everyone laughed. Zhao Kaile only half understood and had no choice but to laugh along.

The hat guy asked him, “Hey, let me ask you something. Is Zhan Hang really dating Zhang Wenqian?”

Zhao Kaile was stunned for a moment and said, “I’m not really sure.”

He truly was not clear about Zhan Hang’s relationship status. Before, when they had nothing to do, the two of them were at home every day. Zhan Hang would either watch TV, read novels, or scroll through Weibo, or play with the cat or work out. It didn’t seem like he specially went out to date Zhang Wenqian. But whenever he attended any event, he would stick close to Zhang Wenqian. Weibo also pushed hot topics of them together from time to time, and yesterday he even specially went to see Zhang Wenqian.

So they probably were dating.

The hat guy naturally looked disbelieving, “Stop pretending. You two live together every day, how could you not know?”

Zhao Kaile let out a “hai” and laughed, “Even if I knew, I couldn’t tell you. Isn’t confidentiality part of our job?”

The hat guy rolled his eyes and had to give up, “Boring, boring.”

“Why even ask him?” The ponytail girl said, “It’s definitely real. I actually ship them!”

The chubby girl said, “No way! My Qian is beautiful on her own!”

Zhao Kaile looked shocked, “You like Zhang Wenqian too??”

The chubby girl’s eyes instantly lit up, “Of course! Family!!!”

The two joyfully exchanged snacks in their hands. The ponytail girl laughed and mocked, “Huh, two idiots.” Then, unsurprisingly, she received a headbutt from the chubby girl.

Inside, Li Siyi was currently auditioning. She was trying out the scene of the male and female leads’ first meeting. Zhang Zheng had originally asked the third male lead to partner with her for a segment, but Li Siyi pestered him relentlessly, insisting that Zhan Hang act with her. Zhang Zheng had no suitable candidate at the moment, so one counted as one, and he agreed to her request, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

But Zhan Hang himself ruthlessly refused.

Zhang Zheng was a bit surprised. After all, since joining the crew, Zhan Hang had always been cooperative with his work, sometimes even exceeding expectations. There should be no reason to refuse such a small request.

Li Siyi was even more speechless, biting her teeth.

The group fell silent for a moment. The assistant director was also dumbstruck and excused himself to go to the bathroom.

Zhan Hang said politely, “Sorry, Director Zhang. I’m very tired today. Find someone else to partner with Miss Li for this segment.”

Zhang Zheng had been in the industry for many years and was already a shrewd person. He immediately understood: these two definitely had some private grudge, and it was most likely a grudge that Li Siyi did not mind, but Zhan Hang still held a grudge about.

He could only sigh and agree to let him go.

Zhan Hang walked out, and Li Siyi quickly chased after him, calling his name.

At the stairwell, Zhan Hang stopped, turned around, and slightly lowered his head to look at her.

His eyes were already excessively beautiful. When such a pair of eyes focused intently on a person, the person being watched would definitely waver.

Li Siyi clearly failed to grasp the meaning of this gaze in time, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Zhan Hang said in a low voice, “Li Siyi.”

She was startled, “Hmm?”

Zhan Hang took a step forward, looking down at her from above, and asked slowly, “You, a thirty eighth tier wild model, what qualifications do you have to act with me? Do you even match?”

These words were too harsh. Li Siyi, who was still in her self fantasy, instantly cracked.

She immediately sobered up, widened her eyes, and angrily demanded, “Zhan Hang! What do you mean by that!”

“That day I didn’t slap you, not because you’re so pretty or so noble, or because I’m so tender and protective of women. It was because there were many people, and lots of cameras.” Zhan Hang took another step closer, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Do you think you can still dodge today?”

Li Siyi hurriedly looked around and discovered that this was indeed a blind spot for surveillance. She was almost completely enveloped by Zhan Hang’s shadow, and hurriedly said in panic, “You dare touch me and see what happens?!”

Zhan Hang disdainfully curled the corner of his mouth.

Li Siyi screamed, “Don’t come over! Are you even a man!! Isn’t it just because I hit your assistant once, is it worth holding a grudge until now?! Zhan Hang you can’t do this…… you can’t hit women! Jessica!!!”

Someone responded from the other end of the corridor, and footsteps gradually approached.

Zhan Hang reined in his expression, walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened, and completely ignored the chaos behind him.

Anyway, he had not actually planned to lay hands on Li Siyi. He was just giving her a serious warning not to be so clueless. Not everyone treats her like a princess and revolves around her.

When Jessica arrived, she only saw Li Siyi there with a face of terror, crying and sobbing. After listening to her incoherent account, she finally understood what had just happened, but was also helpless. She only comforted Li Siyi and warned her not to actively provoke trouble again. Although Zhan Hang was not a first tier star, he was not someone they could casually offend.

Li Siyi felt as if the sky were about to collapse. She called her rich second generation boyfriend to complain. The boyfriend was holding another beauty on the other end, hmm hmm perfunctorily responding her, saying he would help her handle it, and hung up.

The female lead candidate had not been decided for a long time. Those who came proactively, Zhang Zheng looked down on. Those he looked up to had full schedules. The assistant director felt he was at a dead end, so he simply encouraged Zhang Zheng to boldly use a newcomer, and got cursed out by Zhang Zheng.

That evening, after showering, Zhan Hang lay scrolling through Weibo and found the hot searches about the female lead casting for “The Green Robed Guest” were spreading more and more bizarrely. He found it quite amusing.

Zhao Kaile saw he was in a decent mood and asked boldly, “Brother Hang, can I ask you something?”

Zhan Hang: “Ask.”

“You and Zhang Wenqian……. is it real?” Zhao Kaile looked at him with eyes full of expectation, “I I won’t tell anyone, I’m just asking!”

Zhan Hang had an expression of looking at an idiot and said speechlessly, “Have you ever seen anyone in a relationship who doesn’t even make a single phone call?”

Zhao Kaile’s mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief.

Zhan Hang said, “It’s all hype, hype, do you understand?”

Zhao Kaile let out a disappointed “oh.”

Zhan Hang found it amusing, “Why are you still disappointed? Do you really want me to be with her that much?”

Zhao Kaile nodded hmm hmm. Zhan Hang looked at him suspiciously for a while and suddenly understood.

This kid was nothing more than wanting to use his interactions with Zhang Wenqian as an opportunity to see his goddess a few more times. And in his eyes, Zhan Hang was just a dispensable pull strings and build bridges tool person.

Thinking of this, Zhan Hang felt exceptionally furious.

Zhao Kaile reacted and hurriedly said, “Brother Hang please don’t misunderstand! I just purely think you two are such a good match! The chubby girl in the crew also said you two are a good match, and even wrote fanfiction for you……..”

“Shut up.” Zhan Hang said coldly, “Do your job properly, Zhao Kaile. I’ve been too indulgent with you.”

Zhao Kaile shut his mouth with immense regret, thinking to himself, I shouldn’t have asked, I really have a loose mouth ahhh.

That night, Zhan Hang did not say another word to him. When Zhao Kaile said goodnight closing the door, he did not respond either. Zhao Kaile could only return to his own room crestfallen.

In the deep of night, Zhao Kaile sat on his bed reflecting.

One voice said, you are eating Zhan Hang’s, living in Zhan Hang’s, wearing Zhan Hang’s, how can you still be thinking about other celebrities in your heart??

Another voice said, everyone has someone they admire, it’s just that the person you admire happens to be Zhang Wenqian, happens to be a celebrity. Can you blame yourself for that??

The first voice said again, being a Zhang Wenqian fan is betrayal to Zhan Hang. Look how angry he got!

The other voice retorted, your heart just shattered into many pieces, and each piece fell in love with a different person……

……..

Zhao Kaile was about to have a split personality. He buried himself in his pillow and whimpered for a long time, then painfully cut ties with Zhang Wenqian, deciding that starting tomorrow, he would bury his love for her deep in his heart.

The next morning, Zhan Hang’s anger had subsided quite a bit. He could talk now, but he was even more irritable than before. Zhao Kaile could only serve him by habit, afraid that if anything displeased him, he would kick him out.

In the car, Zhan Hang took a call and answered with a poor tone, “Have the doctor come to the house! Don’t let them move around.”

Zhao Kaile really wanted to ask what had happened, but truly did not dare. He felt uneasy in his heart, so he went to ask Lu Jiayin. Lu Jiayin replied with a few messages. He clicked to open them and found out that KIKI was sick.

No wonder. Yesterday at the mall, he probably received this kind of call too, which was why he had a sour face.

Zhao Kaile looked at Zhan Hang worriedly, but Zhan Hang closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and leaned against the car window pretending to sleep.
