Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 72

After last night, Zhan Hang’s Weibo follower count rose again. Zhao Kaile scrolled through the comments below and found that time indeed dilutes human memory. The number of people bringing up the previous bed photo incident had become very few.

“Unnatural Events” filmed several episodes indoors. The fifth episode would be recorded outdoors, at a location in the suburbs of the city.

Early that morning, the camera crew followed the car and began full recording directly inside the vehicle. The assistants and staff sat in several other cars following closely behind. Jiang Chongyang was in his own car flipping through the previous episode’s content, then flipping through the scripts for these episodes, revealing a bit of a bitter smile.

The assistant director asked: “What’s wrong, Teacher Jiang?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Chongyang laughed: “It’s just that two great Buddhas refuse to follow the script. Who knows what situation will arise today.”

The assistant director knew who he was talking about. Upon hearing this, he only comforted: “The two episodes that aired didn’t have pretty good reactions? The audience should like them quite a bit. I think our post-production can also slightly adjust the personas based on their reactions.”

Jiang Chongyang resigned himself to fate: “My problem.”

How could he have thought back then to make Zhan Hang gentle and considerate, and make Sun Yimin mature and responsible…

Inside the guest vehicle, several people sat down and each delivered a declaration to the camera.

Deng Xiaoran looked around in confusion: “There’s no host today?”

Sun Yimin said to her with a straight face: “Probably forgot they had to work today.”

“You think everyone is like you.” Zhao Jingran roasted him.

Another male guest patted the driver and asked: “Bro, are you the host?”

The driver said expressionlessly: “I’m an NPC.”

Several people burst into laughter. Suddenly, the mysterious boss’s voice rang out inside the vehicle: “I am today’s host. Fellow warriors, are you ready to accept the challenge?”

Another female guest was startled violently, patting her chest with lingering fear. Her gaze swept back and forth inside the vehicle, seemingly searching for the source of the voice. Zhan Hang moved his ears, lowered his head, bent down, and reached under the seat to pull out a wireless speaker.

Everyone’s gaze immediately gathered on his hand.

Mysterious boss: “Hello, Zhan Hang.”

“You can see us?” Zhan Hang asked.

“Of course.” The mysterious boss said: “Next, I will issue today’s first mission.”

Zhan Hang smiled ambiguously and asked everyone: “If we throw it out, does that mean we don’t have to do the mission?”

Mysterious boss: “…”

Several people immediately burst out laughing. Sun Yimin egged him on: “Yes! Amazing, Brother Hang, how did I not think of that.”

“Please do not do things that violate the rules.” The mysterious boss said angrily: “Throwing it out will be directly judged as mission failure.”

Zhan Hang restrained himself and said politely: “Please go ahead.”

Mysterious boss: “I have hidden a treasure in a small house deep in the bamboo forest. I have placed fragments of the detailed map at various checkpoints. Successfully challenging will earn one fragment. Collecting five chapters will allow you to smoothly reach the destination, retrieve the treasure, and become the final winner.”

“Oh, treasure hunting.” Zhao Jingran smiled: “I like it.”

Mysterious boss: “Next, you will draw lots to be divided into red, green, and yellow groups, two per group. Team members will cooperate with each other. Wishing you immediate success upon arrival.”

Several people agreed in unison. The mysterious person had them roll dice in a temporarily created group chat. According to the points, they were grouped. The results showed: Zhao Jingran and Deng Xiaoran in the red group, Sun Yimin and Zhan Hang in the green group, and the remaining one male and one female guest in the yellow group.

Zhao Kaile was in the car behind watching the screen together with Jiang Chongyang. Upon learning the result, he immediately sucked in a cold breath, thinking this is disastrous, won’t Brother Hang drag Sun Yimin to some remote place and beat him up??

In the previous episodes when the two weren’t forced into the same group to cooperate, their relationship was still relatively harmonious. Occasionally they could crack a few jokes. But Sun Yimin seemed to not quite know boundaries. He often joked excessively and made other guests feel awkward. If it was someone with super high EQ like Deng Xiaoran, she could still smooth things over with a few sentences. However, encountering a tough customer like Zhan Hang wouldn’t work. He would only roast back on the spot, completely forgetting his supposed persona.

Fortunately, fans still quite liked watching this kind of harmless bickering. In their eyes, Sun Yimin was a heartless, giggling little puppy who liked to unconsciously provoke Zhan Hang, this roast monster. After fans automatically added ten levels of filter to the bickering scenes, the air was also filled with sweetness.

Several people got out of the car, each chose a route and began advancing. Zhan Hang and Sun Yimin each held their own opinion, both wanting the other to follow the route they chose.

The other teams had already set out. The two of them were still competing at the original spot.

Deng Xiaoran waved at the two, laughing uncontrollably: “You two chat slowly. Sister’s leaving first.”

Neither brother conceded to the other. They directly went their separate ways.

The production team completely didn’t expect them to play so outside the rules. Jiang Chongyang was drinking tea. Seeing this result, he nearly sprayed it out. He had no choice but to direct the camera crew to split into two paths, one following each person.

Zhan Hang walked toward the mountain path while saying to the camera: “The route I chose absolutely has no problems. I have my own considerations.”

On the other end, Sun Yimin said with full confidence: “Let them run ahead first. Be lab mice and clear mines for me.”

Zhao Kaile watched with cold sweat streaming down, thinking aren’t you afraid everyone else’s route is correct and only yours is the wrong fork!

A few minutes later, Sun Yimin arrived at the destination. Before him was a river several meters wide. On the shore were stacked foam building blocks. Two people needed to cooperate to place them one by one to reach the opposite bank.

He was speechless for a moment, immediately admitted defeat, and called Zhan Hang.

Zhan Hang answered: “What’s up?”

“Brother Hang, come to Route 2. You shouldn’t have walked too far yet.” Sun Yimin said.

Zhan Hang didn’t yield an inch: “You come to Route 4.”

Sun Yimin collapsed: “Why are you so stubborn!”

“Hurry up.” Zhan Hang said: “The yellow group is already clearing the level. Hurry.”

Sun Yimin: “This fast??? What about Jingran and them??”

“Don’t know.” Zhan Hang described: “I have to row a boat here. Need people on both ends. Hurry over.”

Sun Yimin let out an “oh.” He turned around and saw Zhao Jingran pulling Deng Xiaoran up from the other end. They actually ran into each other face to face. Both were stunned, then realized these two routes led to the same checkpoint. Jiang Chongyang still really liked playing this trick.

Zhao Jingran immediately reacted and said to Deng Xiaoran: “Quick, his teammate isn’t here. Let’s hurry across!”

“No way, you two really aren’t walking together.” Deng Xiaoran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She hurriedly followed Zhao Jingran to push the foam building blocks.

So the yellow group and red group both began clearing the level. The green group two people still hadn’t rendezvoused for a long time.

Sun Yimin had an expression of having nothing left to live for. He caught a cameraman and asked painfully toward the camera: “Director! Can I follow behind them across!”

“No.” An NPC passing by said faintly: “It’s against the rules. Same checkpoint, first come first served.”

Sun Yimin had no choice but to accept his loss. He set out again toward Zhan Hang’s route. A few minutes later, the two rendezvoused. Zhan Hang had an expression of “see, you still had to listen to me,” which nearly angered Sun Yimin to death.

Passersby who recognized who they were all showed surprised faces. Seeing the cameras, they realized they were filming a show and wisely backed away a bit. Two girls didn’t understand the situation. Intuitively feeling they were in a competition, they opened their mouths and shouted “add oil.”

Sun Yimin hurriedly turned around and waved at them, smiling from ear to ear: “Thank you!”

Zhan Hang scolded: “Row quickly!”

“…” Sun Yimin: “Oh!”

So this provoked another burst of laughter from the onlookers. The girls howled a few times, directly saying so cute so cute.

Jiang Chongyang sat in front of the screen and laughed twice. He said to Zhao Kaile: “Now I know how to revise Zhan Hang’s script. Just let him act in his true colors.”

“You’re right.” Zhao Kaile supported his forehead, thinking indeed the old ginger is still spicier. Director Jiang has actually already seen through Brother Hang’s true face!

The green group two people got ashore in a flurry, already much slower than the other two groups. But their luck was very good. What they obtained was a real fragment. The broadcast showed the yellow group obtained a fake one, and the red group also obtained a real one.

Sun Yimin followed behind Zhan Hang climbing the mountain, panting from exhaustion: “Can’t do it, Brother Hang I can’t do it, let me rest a bit.”

“This is how much road?” Zhan Hang glanced at the small red flag symbolizing the next checkpoint and said impatiently: “Persist a bit more.”

Sun Yimin waved his hand, gasping for breath: “You go up first.”

“Walk.” Zhan Hang reached out and pulled him, directly pulling Sun Yimin into a stumble.

Sun Yimin: “…Okay okay okay let go!”

Among the staff, there were clearly several girls who were shipping this pair. Seeing this scene, they immediately got excited with hearts in their eyes, only feeling their hearts scratching and lungs itching.

“Oh my god! The two of them are so cute!”

“Minmin is too cute! That moment just now, I thought he would directly fall onto Brother Hang!”

“Brother Hang is so manly! Honestly, when I watched his dramas before, I always thought he was that kind of, delicate… you know what I mean! I didn’t expect he’s really this manly!”

“I know I know!”

“I feel like Brother Hang is very disdainful on the surface, but actually has been taking care of Minmin all along, doesn’t he!”

“Yes!!!”

Zhao Kaile listened from the side with the corner of his mouth twitching, thinking you all really know how to ship, you’re simply contemporary shipping scholars. Nothing has even happened yet. If they get any closer, wouldn’t you directly carry the Civil Affairs Bureau back!

The mountain road had nine bends and eighteen turns. The two stumbled and staggered to the red flag point. Sun Yimin finally caught his breath. Who would have thought that when he looked up, Zhao Jingran was pulling Deng Xiaoran up again.

Both sides were stunned, realizing whoever seized this checkpoint first would have a greater chance of finding the treasure first. So they simultaneously shouted loudly and madly dashed toward the platform with the small red flag, reaching out to grab!

Sun Yimin lunged forward violently, barely hugging Zhao Jingran’s waist, shouting: “Brother Hang, quick, take it!”

Zhan Hang successfully pulled out the red flag, making a victory fist.

“…” Zhao Jingran couldn’t believe it: “It can be like this?! Director! Director!”

The crowd of onlookers was already laughing too hard to speak.

Jiang Chongyang said helplessly: “The green group didn’t violate the rules. Protest invalid.”
