Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 26

“I’m officially hired……” Zhao Kaile murmured this repetition, as if in a dream. The pen tip pressed against the paper, but he couldn’t write for a long time. Zhan Hang said: “Sign your name! Are you sleepwalking?!”

Zhao Kaile woke as if from a dream, trembling as he finished signing, and returned the contract to Bai Li.

“Do three years first.” Bai Li said: “If there are any follow-up questions, you can discuss them directly with Zhan Hang.”

Only then did Zhao Kaile realize he hadn’t had time to carefully read the terms and clauses in the contract at all. He didn’t even know how many years he had signed for. But signing for ten years wouldn’t matter anyway, since he still owed Zhan Hang over a million……

“Okay!”

Bai Li asked with a smile: “How was it, did this month feel tiring?”

Zhao Kaile said: “Still……”

Zhan Hang beside him gave him a sidelong glance: “Attending to me tired you out?”

Zhao Kaile hurriedly corrected himself: “Not tired not tired, I sleep very well every day and feel refreshed. Hang-ge even shares his food with me so I won’t go hungry at all. I’m very moved! Hang-ge is like the guiding light on my life’s road, illuminating the direction of my future path!”

Zhan Hang: “…….”

Bai Li laughed uncontrollably: “If you ever want to change careers in the future, you could consider becoming a stand-up comedian.”

Zhan Hang seemed to have heard some fantastical tale from Arabian Nights: “Him? If he got on stage he’d probably be unable to even finish a complete sentence.”

Seeing he was about to use a pile of words to degrade him into the dust again, Zhao Kaile hurriedly changed the subject: “Sister Li, that, did you find out who did it?”

“We checked the surveillance footage, caught one.” Bai Li looked at the road ahead and said slowly: “Refuses to admit being instigated by someone, insists he’s a Zhan Hang anti. Now he’s having tea inside, at most he’ll be locked up for a few days.”

Zhan Hang said coldly: “What’s the point of investigating, it must be that Li Siyi, no doubt about it.”

Bai Li propped her chin with one hand, her expression carrying a faint puzzlement: “But the one backing her doesn’t seem to have much backing either. How dare she mess with you like this.”

“Help me get her removed from the production.” Zhan Hang looked exhausted, and said with disgust: “I don’t want to see her again.”

Bai Li laughed: “Young Master Zhan, I still have a pile of things on my hands. Come tell me, how exactly did you provoke her?”

Zhan Hang turned his head to look out the window, and cursed in a low voice.

Zhao Kaile was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the conflict between Zhan Hang and Li Siyi had started because of the slap he received. He didn’t know that Zhan Hang had also verbally threatened Li Siyi alone that day, so he only thought he was the fuse for everything, and immediately felt guilty.

“Uh……” he coughed, rubbing his hands together a few times, and said uneasily: “Sorry Sister Li, this matter is actually my fault.”

Zhan Hang turned his head to look at him again.

Zhao Kaile said: “That day Hang-ge was sleeping, and Li Siyi disturbed him. I went over to stop her but didn’t stop her well, got slapped by her, and then……”

“Zhao Kaile, that was her problem, okay?” Zhan Hang scolded: “What are you doing here taking everything on yourself? Will she thank you?”

Zhao Kaile: “…….”

Zhan Hang: “I think you really have some problems.”

Bai Li: “Alright alright, for Kaile to think this way shows he really cares about you. Why are you getting so angry?”

Zhao Kaile’s face showed moved emotion, but his heart was unmoved. He had long gone numb facing Zhan Hang’s criticism and education every day. This bit of firepower was nothing much.

When they arrived at the newly booked hotel, Zhao Kaile got out of the car to open the door for Zhan Hang and carry luggage. Zhan Hang wore sunglasses with his hands in his pockets, his face full of arrogance as he entered the hotel lobby.

In the room, Bai Li had the people she brought check every corner for hidden pinhole cameras. Then she only left Zhan Hang and Zhao Kaile in the room to continue talking.

Zhan Hang sat in the chair like a master, directing Zhao Kaile to wash his cup, pour water, put away clothes, spread out the quilt, arrange skincare products one by one, and finally pull open the curtains, because he wanted to look at the night view.

“If we say it like this, then it should be Li Siyi who is in the wrong.” Bai Li asked: “So how did it turn around to her splashing dirty water on you?”

Zhan Hang said: “I told her to stop showing off in front of me, and she got anxious. Can that be blamed on me?”

Bai Li: “What were your original words?”

Zhan Hang drank some water, thought for a while, and with great reluctance reconstructed the conversation from that day.

Zhao Kaile was drinking water beside him, and nearly sprayed it out after hearing this.

“……” Bai Li said: “Why did you provoke her for no reason? Better offend a gentleman than a petty person.”

Zhan Hang frowned and said: “I actually wanted to talk properly with her. Do you think she would understand?? With this kind of person, talking properly is completely useless. You have to speak explicitly, speak clearly and plainly, otherwise she’ll think you’re playing hard to get with her. Is that fun??”

Bai Li let out a long sigh: “Your temper really is……”

She looked at Zhan Hang with grievance for a long time, but couldn’t really curse him out, so she turned to Zhao Kaile and said: “Kaile, pay more attention in the future. In this kind of situation you must stop him.”

Zhao Kaile nodded repeatedly: “Okay, okay Sister Li.”

The sky was already very late. Bai Li looked around the hotel, and with an uneasy expression gave the two a few more instructions, then carried her bag and left with a difficult look on her face.

The two people in the room looked at each other.

Zhao Kaile hesitantly said: “I…….”

Zhan Hang said: “You what you, it’s so late do you still want me to make a trip for you?”

Zhao Kaile: “Then I…….”

“You’ll sleep on the floor.” Zhan Hang said coldly.

Zhao Kaile: “…….”

However Zhan Hang of course wouldn’t really let him sleep on the floor. He only occupied half the bed himself, wearing an eye mask and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

After Zhao Kaile finished showering and came out, Zhan Hang already had no movement. He had to give up the thought of writing, and while drying his hair he glanced at his phone. After scrolling through reader comments he casually opened Weibo and looked, then his face showed shock. His unread messages actually numbered in the dozens.

He clicked open in puzzlement, and discovered that all these people replying had caught him under that slanderous post about Zhan Hang.

[Caught a dog!]

[Whoa, great author, you’re a Zhan Hang fan?? No way no way!]

[Did I see wrong?? Is it a fake account?]

[Great author is a girl?]

[Hey hey, why can’t guys like Zhan Hang, where does the person above put male fans!]

[My favorite author is a fan of my favorite celebrity. I didn’t see this coming.]

[Account hacked?]

[Great Dog if you were kidnapped blink your eyes.]

Zhao Kaile: …….

He actually didn’t usually post on Weibo much. He didn’t expect that accidentally replying to one post would blow up so many readers. He originally planned to ignore it, but scrolling down he saw a familiar ID, Snake.

Snake: We’re all ordinary people. Isn’t it normal to have a favorite celebrity? What’s wrong with him being a Zhan Hang fan? Why such a big reaction?

Someone unconvinced spoke to him in a yin-yang tone: I think your reaction is pretty big too. What’s wrong, are you also a Zhan Hang fan? No wonder you’re protecting him so much.

Snake: Idiot.

That person: @!￥@#%#&￥*

After that Snake didn’t reply again. The person who cursed at him unilaterally declared his own victory, ending the battle with his nose in the air.

Zhao Kaile was simply cracking apart. Could this Snake be Zhan Hang’s Weibo alternate account?? What was he doing, what was he doing? Opening a small account pretending to be his own fan and fighting his own antis?

And Zhan Hang himself was lying right behind him, letting out a dissatisfied “Hmm?”

Zhao Kaile hurriedly put away his phone.

Zhan Hang removed his eye mask and looked at him: “Still standing there what for? Turn off the lights and sleep!”

Zhao Kaile gave an oh, went over to turn off the lights, then occupied a small portion of the bed. Between the two of them was a distance of a hundred and eighty thousand li.

Zhan Hang was speechless for a moment, turned over and ignored him.

Zhao Kaile lay with his eyes open, anxiously picking at his fingers, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Several minutes later, Zhan Hang sat up and turned on the lights, went in to use the bathroom. Zhao Kaile pulled the quilt over his head, pretending to be asleep.

But he didn’t expect that while pretending he actually really fell asleep.

In the latter half of the night, Zhan Hang whose sleep quality was never very good suddenly felt something pressing on him. Opening his eyes, he saw it was Zhao Kaile’s lower leg.

Zhan Hang: “……..”

He barely managed with good temper to gently kick Zhao Kaile’s foot away. But a few minutes later the other party persisted, his whole person rolling over, his arm pressing against his back, his breathing very even, clearly sleeping very soundly.

Zhan Hang quietly cursed him: “How can your sleeping posture be so ugly!”

Zhao Kaile had no awareness, not knowing what he was dreaming of, and frowned slightly.

Zhan Hang had to move away a bit more, wronging himself to make room for the little assistant. But this basically had no effect. Zhao Kaile seemed to instinctively sense the heat source and wanted to constantly draw closer.

At three in the morning, Zhao Kaile was almost half his person hanging on him. Zhan Hang lay flat speechlessly, no longer preparing to resist.

“Zhao Kaiming……..”

Zhan Hang was stunned, and only after a while did he realize he was talking in his sleep. So he listened with utter boredom.

Zhao Kaile said: “Your feet really f***ing stink.”

Zhan Hang: “…….”

At four in the morning, Zhan Hang finally had a bit of sleepiness. Zhao Kaile said again: “Let’s go home……” then choked up a bit.

Zhan Hang was about to go crazy, and unconsciously patted his back, with a bit of meaning to coax him to sleep. Zhao Kaile didn’t know who he gave an mm to, and finally quieted down. Zhan Hang looked exhausted, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Past seven, Zhao Kaile woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes he discovered things were greatly wrong. How am I sleeping in the same bed with a male celebrity!??! And half my person is curled in his arms?!

His brain turned on and off, on and off, cycling repeatedly. Zhao Kaile came to his senses, and carefully rolled to the other side of the bed.

However, the moment he moved, Zhan Hang also woke up. He watched Zhao Kaile’s performance with an expressionless face, waiting until the other party completed two full rolls, just happening to perform a precise mutual gaze.

Zhao Kaile: “…….”

Zhan Hang said: “Do you want to hear what you did last night?”

Zhao Kaile thumped onto the floor with a slap, then stood up in terror: “Sorry sorry sorry…….”
