Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 32

Zhao Kaile immediately cowered.

Only Zhan Hang would, because he couldn’t bear to, cooperate with his clumsy performance for that one in ten thousand possibility.

The two confronted each other in the parking lot for a moment.

Zhan Hang looked at him sideways, and said coldly: “Is it fun to lie to me?”

“I……” Zhao Kaile knew he was in the wrong, and said guiltily: “Sorry……”

Zhan Hang asked: “Why?”

“Because……”

At this moment Zhao Kaile was like facing a great enemy, his brain was practically blank, completely unable to think of an excuse to brush it off. He could only nervously tug at his pant seam, and stammer: “Because I didn’t want you to go to that…… that, author conference.”

Zhan Hang pressed further: “Why didn’t you want me to go?”

Zhao Kaile was about to cry: “Because it would be useless for you to go…… the online friend you wanted to see didn’t go.”

Zhan Hang’s expression instantly changed, and he looked at him with a complicated face, slowly asking: “What else are you hiding from me?”

Recalling all the details from the past, plus Zhao Kaile’s various strange behaviors in recent days, even if the conclusion in his mind was impossible, even if he himself didn’t believe it, this could only be the only truth.

Zhao Kaile took a deep breath, and said slowly: “Actually I…… I am……”

“You are Chasing the Moon’s Dog.” Zhan Hang said with forceful certainty, very sure, and then said with an angry face: “Zhao Kaile, are you playing me? Do you feel very accomplished using another identity to watch me chase after you with tips behind the scenes??”

“Hang ge listen to me, I was just afraid you’d get angry if you knew, so that’s why……” Zhao Kaile knew things were going badly, and hurriedly stepped forward in a submissive manner: “I was wrong! I won’t dare next time!”

Zhan Hang was burning with anger, and didn’t want to hear his explanation at all: “Scram!”

He pushed Zhao Kaile once, turned around and opened the car door, got in and revved the engine twice, and drove away right in front of him.

Zhao Kaile staggered, and stood motionless watching him drive away. He was dazed in place for quite a while, then somewhat painfully squatted down, too sad to even take a step.

Was it this serious…… just this little matter, was it this serious? Zhan Hang, you are simply the most petty male celebrity in the entire country, is face that important??

What does scram mean…… does he want to fire me? Then should I still follow him? If I follow him I’ll just get cursed back……

Zhao Kaile’s mind was completely chaotic, looking down at the ground, not knowing for a moment where he should go or what he should do. It was as if suddenly without Zhan Hang, he completely couldn’t find his backbone.

Passersby came and went, occasionally turning to look at him, but none came forward to ask. After quite a while, a little girl whispered a few words with her mother, then ran over and handed him a pack of tissues.

Zhao Kaile looked up at her, sniffed and said: “Thank you.”

The little girl squatted beside him warmly, and comforted him in a childish voice: “Did your mommy and daddy scold you? It’s okay, they scold you because they love you.”

Zhao Kaile’s nose became even more sour, and he touched her head without saying anything more.

The little girl didn’t know what to do then, so she just stood up and said goodbye, then went back to hold her mother’s hand and left.

A moment later Zhan Hang finally cooled his anger, and called Zhao Kaile, but no one answered.

He was silent for a while, and felt a bit regretful. Thinking that Zhao Kaile probably hadn’t run far, he drove the car back to the original spot, and sure enough saw him still squatting there.

The surroundings were bustling with people coming and going, but he was alone and pitifully squatting beside the parking space, exceptionally miserable.

Footsteps approached, and Zhao Kaile saw through tear blurred eyes a pair of familiar sneakers appear before him. He hesitantly looked up.

Zhan Hang looked down at him, and somewhat stiffly said: “What are you crying for?”

Zhao Kaile hurriedly wiped his tears clean, stood up and looked at him in astonishment.

“Can crying solve anything?” Zhan Hang frowned and said: “Do you think if you cry I will forgive you?”

Zhao Kaile tried hard to stay calm: “Sorry Hang ge…… I really didn’t deliberately hide it from you, I don’t know what I should do to make you not angry…… it’s also possible that you will always be angry. If, if you don’t want to see me anymore, I can go mention resignation to Sister Li right now. The money I owe you I will pay back as soon as possible. Thank you for taking care of me these past few months…… I…… I really……”

The more he spoke the more he couldn’t hold back his emotions, choking up every few words, his tears falling more and more fiercely.

Zhan Hang was simply frightened, and hurriedly interrupted him: “Who told you to resign? Did I agree? You did something wrong and I can’t even say a few words about it?”

Zhao Kaile could barely speak clearly: “I thought you wanted to drive me away, I thought you really wanted to change assistants, I didn’t know where I should go……”

Zhan Hang: “……..”

He felt a soft place in the bottom of his heart was fiercely stabbed, and all the violent energy in his body was about to completely subside because of this bit of weakness.

Zhao Kaile was still sniffing his nose. Zhan Hang stepped forward, lowered his head and pinched his face, roughly wiped his tears a few times, and said in a low voice: “Alright alright, count it as me saying the wrong thing.”

He was willing to lower his head, and the atmosphere finally eased a bit. Zhao Kaile’s eye sockets were red, and he looked at him somewhat incredulously.

What does it mean?! What does saying the wrong thing mean?? Is Zhan Hang apologizing? Is Zhan Hang apologizing to me???

Not far away a car impatiently honked its horn. Zhan Hang turned back to look, and it turned out his car was parked crookedly, blocking someone’s path.

He hurriedly let go, cleared his throat, and said to Zhao Kaile: “Let’s go home.”

“Oh.” Zhao Kaile blankly followed him into the car, and only came back to his senses after driving quite a distance. He only felt that he had just been exceptionally embarrassing, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Zhan Hang asked: “Not asleep right.”

Zhao Kaile awkwardly opened his eyes, and uneasily gave a hum.

Zhan Hang looked at the road ahead and said: “You know, sometimes I can’t control my emotions well, don’t take it to heart.”

“I don’t mind!” Zhao Kaile hurriedly said: “I also…… I sometimes can’t control my tears, today…… today I was also very surprised.”

Zhan Hang said expressionlessly: “Then you’re too amazing, the onlookers all thought I did something to you.”

“……” Zhao Kaile recalled that quite a few people were indeed watching, and died of social embarrassment on the spot, immediately feeling so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to bury himself in.

It was already evening when they got home. After eating, Bai Li came again, but this time she brought bad news.

Zhan Hang stared at the fully armed himself in the photo on her phone, and shrugged indifferently: “It’s me, so what?”

“And so what?” Bai Li said helplessly: “You always have to explain to your fans why you appeared at the hospital right?”

Zhan Hang said: “Oh? Did I have the two words Zhan Hang written on my face, how come I didn’t know.”

“Hehe.” Bai Li smiled insincerely and swiped through a few photos: “You still have to get in the car right? The car still has a license plate number right? Your car still has to return to your own home garage right? And…… although it’s a bit far, but Kaile’s face is completely in the frame. Can you tell me what exactly you two went to do today?”

Zhao Kaile hurriedly raised his hand and said: “Me! I was sick! Hang ge took me to see the doctor!”

Bai Li sighed and said: “Really know how to cause trouble for me……”

Zhan Hang said dissatisfied: “Then if you’re sick don’t you have to see a doctor? Although it’s just a useless little assistant, but as his superior, I can’t just stand by and do nothing right??”

Zhao Kaile: “…….”

Why does the word useless have to be added in front of little assistant, this useless modifier??

Bai Li said to Zhan Hang: “Next time contact Dr. Chen directly, didn’t I give you his contact information? He can come anytime.”

Zhan Hang said: “Understood, will pay attention next time.”

Bai Li sighed again, and left tiredly carrying her bag.

Zhao Kaile watched her with a sympathetic face: “Goodbye Sister Li.”

The fifth Lan Ku author conference, and the mysterious author Chasing the Moon’s Dog still didn’t appear.

Very quickly someone went to mock Snake in the comments below for showing off, but very quickly got slapped in the face. Because under Zhan Hang’s coercion, Zhao Kaile specifically wrote in the author notes that they had met privately, but he personally valued his privacy very much, so he didn’t choose to publicly show his face to readers.

[Tsk tsk tsk, private meeting, did anything happen Madam Wang!]

[Is this the power of money…….]

[Snake X Madam Wang, I fully support it!]

[Inserting myself to squat for fanfic.]

[So is there any太太 writing fanfic! Passing pen!]

Zhan Hug sat with arms crossed behind Zhao Kaile, with a serious face supervising him replying to comments.

Zhao Kaile was extremely uncomfortable, hugging his computer and weakly said: “Hang ge, don’t look.”

Zhan Hang said with a straight face: “I’m your investor, what can’t I look at??”

Zhao Kaile: “Okay……..”

That night he reviewed the comments from when he first embarked on the writing path, and discovered that Snake had been there very early. But at that time he hadn’t been so generous with tips, seeming to just have a nurturing type of interest in this new author, occasionally throwing some cat food, equivalent to telling him someone had been silently paying attention to him.

Flipping through his very few remarks, most were dissatisfaction with some character, attacking like a string of cannonballs, then closely followed by a large tip, as if afraid his poisonous tongue attack would scold the author to a glass heart, directly abandoning the pit and not writing anymore. Just exactly like his own style, on the surface covered in thorns, but actually very gentle in his heart.

Zhao Kaile flipped down bit by bit, and had a melancholic feeling of time passing like a dream.

If he hadn’t met Zhan Hang, he probably would never have specifically gone to flip through Snake’s account, and would never have known that across the internet he had silently accompanied him for two or three years.

Why is he so good to me?

Zhao Kaile’s face was blank, and his mind was full of Zhan Hang.

Zhan Hang flying into a rage, Zhan Hang with the corner of his mouth twitching, Zhan Hang with a helpless face, Zhan Hang with a guilty conscience but stubborn mouth, every Zhan Hang looked at him with contempt, but the things he accomplished, the actions he made, were all very gentle.
