Male Sing and His Pet Owner: Chapter 84

Qihua Entertainment.

Bai Li sat at her desk watching the video playing on her computer screen, frowning uneasily. Before long, the office door opened, and Lu Jiayin led Zhan Hang inside.

One look at each other and both knew what the other was about to say.

Zhan Hang simply made a stop gesture first, then sat down to drink tea.

“…” Lu Jiayin looked left and right, deciding to break the silence herself. “Last night, thanks to Boss Zhou.”

“I’ll thank him myself.” Zhan Hang glanced at Bai Li. “Anything else you want to ask me?”

Bai Li frowned and said, “Zhan Hang, what exactly are you thinking? What are you doing getting involved in a gang fight? Mass brawl? First the police station, then the hospital. How much reputation do you have to squander?”

Zhan Hang held his teacup, looking down at the ripples on the water’s surface, not responding.

Bai Li asked, “That was Kaile’s family matter. You had already called the police at that point, couldn’t you just wait for the police to arrive? Why did you have to go up and throw those punches? Do you get itchy hands if you don’t fight someone for a while?”

“If I hadn’t made a move, someone would have died.” Zhan Hang raised his eyes to look at her, coldly retorting, “Would you watch someone get beaten to death right before your eyes?”

Bai Li looked at him, not answering.

Zhan Hang said mockingly, “You have nothing to say either.”

“Why did you still follow them to the hospital?” Bai Li pressed on. “Couldn’t you just find someone to follow Kaile?”

Zhan Hang said, “No.”

Bai Li: “…He’s just your assistant. His job is to serve you 24 hours a day, not to have you running around for him after something happens to him!”

Lu Jiayin couldn’t bear listening anymore and said softly, “Sister Li, Brother Hang has always been like this. If you had made him go home like that, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to sleep peacefully…”

Bai Li: “Whose side are you on??”

“…” Lu Jiayin shrank her neck back, defending herself in an even quieter voice, “That’s not what I meant.”

Bai Li said with self mockery and coldness, “Fine, I’m the big villain, and you all are a loving family.”

Zhan Hang looked at her for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, “Sis, if you were me, could you really stand by with folded arms, ignore it, sleep peacefully that night, and then go to work peacefully the next day?”

“I could.” Bai Li answered with certainty, then said, “Enough. Stop with the hypotheticals. You were lucky yesterday. Little Boss Zhou saw that Toyota. What if he hadn’t been able to stop it? I hope this never happens again. If it does, you can consider getting a new assistant.”

Zhan Hang hadn’t expected her to jump straight to the final step. He frowned at her, as if finding it utterly unbelievable.

Bai Li said without changing her expression, “That’s all I have to say. Zhan Hang, I’m your agent. I need to eliminate all factors around you that could affect your career.”

“I hope you never encounter people and things that affect your career.” Zhan Hang said sincerely, then got up, put on his sunglasses, and walked out arrogantly.

Lu Jiayin didn’t dare to look at Bai Li’s expression. She hurried out in her small high heels to see Zhan Hang off.

The two walked to the elevator one after another. Along the way, a few people greeted them occasionally, and Lu Jiayin responded to all of them on Zhan Hang’s behalf, her expression conflicted.

However, Zhan Hang didn’t enter the elevator. He turned and went into the lounge next to it. Lu Jiayin followed him in, confused. “Brother Hang?”

“What did she mean by that??” Zhan Hang finally exploded, kicking a chair so it toppled over, shouting angrily, “My assistant, she wants to fire him just like that? Wasn’t she the one who found him in the first place?”

Lu Jiayin trembled with fear, afraid his next kick would sweep toward her. “Sister Li hasn’t been doing well with some matters lately. Maybe she brought her emotions to you today… b b but Brother Hang, you were indeed impulsive last night following them…”

Zhan Hang’s anger hadn’t subsided: “Do you know how scared Zhao Kaile was last night? Damn it… I didn’t grab a weapon before going up, those idiots were lucky to be alive!”

Lu Jiayin nodded frantically: “Yes yes yes, I personally still very much support your actions! If I knew how to fight, I would have gone straight at them too!”

On the other end, Zhao Kaile, who was feeding his brother at the hospital, sneezed violently.

After finishing the meal, the scheduled nurse arrived. Zhao Kaile carefully explained some matters to him, then hurried back with his bag on his back.

When he got home, Zhan Hang was upstairs packing his own luggage.

But he hadn’t packed these things himself in a long time and had no idea where anything was placed. Searching was quite difficult. Sometimes when he couldn’t find a small item he wanted, he would stand in place and sulk for a while, completely unlike a reliable adult.

When he heard footsteps, he thought he was hearing things. Then he hesitantly looked up, and Zhao Kaile had actually appeared in the doorway.

Zhao Kaile leaned against the doorframe, catching his breath for a while, then raised his eyes to meet his gaze.

“…” Zhan Hang composed his expression and asked with feigned calmness, “Didn’t they say they’d give you a few more days off? Why did you come back so early?”

Zhao Kaile hadn’t caught his breath yet, speaking intermittently, “Aren’t you going on set tomorrow… I… I came back to pack your things.”

Zhan Hang made an “oh” sound and tossed what he was holding to him. “Then you pack it.”

Zhao Kaile nodded, crouched down beside the suitcase, looked at the pile of messy things inside, and immediately had a face full of black lines, thinking to himself, how many things can fit in here packed like this! Leaving so much empty space, are you afraid the air will squeeze each other?

Zhan Hang put his hands in his pockets, a strange sense of joy welling up in his heart. He coughed, couldn’t help but pace a few steps in the room, then wandered to the bathroom, tidying his hair in front of the mirror while quietly observing Zhao Kaile’s expression.

Zhao Kaile seemed to quickly return to his original state. Except for his eyes still having traces of crying, one couldn’t tell at all what he had experienced last night.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Zhao Kaile seriously packed Zhan Hang’s things. Just as he was about to turn around and ask him a question, he found Zhan Hang standing with arms crossed, watching him.

They looked at each other. Zhan Hang showed not the slightest guilt, slowly shifting his gaze away, asking, “How’s your brother?”

Zhao Kaile was startled for a moment, his thoughts connecting, and hurriedly said, “He woke up this morning. He said he wants to thank you personally, and when he has the chance, he’ll come see you.”

“Can he take care of himself in his condition?” Zhan Hang asked. “You really don’t need to watch over him?”

“Mm, I found a good nurse for him.” Zhao Kaile said seriously, “Brother Hang, you’ve helped me too much. If I don’t come back and work properly, my brother would feel bad too…”

Zhan Hang raised his hand to interrupt, indicating he didn’t want to hear these mushy words, only saying, “Wait until he’s fully recovered. It’s fine as long as he’s okay.”

Zhao Kaile insisted on continuing to pledge his loyalty. “I’m serious, Brother Hang. If you ever need anything in the future, even if it’s climbing mountains of blades or diving into seas of fire, I will definitely not hesitate.”

Zhan Hang mocked, “Enough, enough. Where would you find mountains of blades or seas of fire these days.”

Zhao Kaile didn’t know what else to say. He just looked at him with a serious face, nodded, his eyes still somewhat dejected.

Zhan Hang knew he felt he hadn’t expressed himself well and was sulking on his own again. He had no choice but to walk over, crouch in front of him, and admit defeat. “Zhao Kaile, I helped you because I wanted to help. Don’t feel like you owe me anything, understand?”

“Brother Hang, you also consider me a friend, right.” Zhao Kaile said somewhat uncertainly, “A boss wouldn’t be this good to an employee.”

“…” Zhan Hang said, “What nonsense are you talking!”

Zhao Kaile reflexively closed his eyes. Normally, Zhan Hang would have flicked his forehead or pinched his face at this point, something to teach him a lesson. But this time, after waiting a few seconds, nothing came. Zhao Kaile opened his eyes, and Zhan Hang was still looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

They were very close. Zhao Kaile nervously swallowed, feeling that the next second they were going to kiss.

Zhan Hang angrily leaned forward, bumped his forehead against his, pushing Zhao Kaile back until he sat down. Zhao Kaile was caught off guard, his expression quite dazed.

At ten at night, Zhao Kaile still hadn’t fallen asleep. His draft box was almost empty, so he had to steal some time from his busy schedule to make up a bit.

After what happened last night, he discovered that coming back and interacting with Zhan Hang again, all his feelings had become different.

Before, when he saw Zhan Hang, besides fear there was curiosity… Later, after gradually understanding his character, he gradually felt his soul was more interesting than he imagined, and was also gradually won over by his professional abilities, becoming his fan… Later, they shared some secrets. He learned of Zhan Hang’s quiet support for him, and also learned of his past hardships. Besides liking him, he would occasionally feel heartache, wanting to treat Zhan Hang a little better… Until last night, he discovered that Zhan Hang had completely overturned all the perceptions he had accumulated along the way.

How could a person be this good to another person in the world with whom they shared no blood relation?

Zhao Kaile’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, almost tangled into a ball of hemp. He lay weakly on the table, slowly recalling everything that had happened these past few days.

Although Zhan Hang scoffed at Buzz Lightyear, he still prepared a Buzz Lightyear figurine as a birthday gift for him, and on his birthday took him to the places he wanted to go… They held hands in crowded crowds, embraced in the pavilion… The moment Zhao Kaiming had his accident, he felt like the sky was falling, but Zhan Hang suddenly appeared before him like Superman, resolving everything effortlessly.

He pressed the back of his hand against his forehead. Last night, Zhan Hang had comforted him continuously in this manner.

Zhao Kaile slightly bent forward, not knowing whether it was pleasure or sorrow, exhaling a scorching breath, one hand pressing against his heart. He felt he was about to fall in love with Zhan Hang.

Not the kind of liking a fan has for an idol.
