The cause of the incident was the little nurse in the veterinary hospital. She only took a side picture and Wei Mingyan was wearing a mask. It was impossible to tell who the figure in the picture belonged to, but she could not hold back a large number of Wei Mingyan"s fans online.
At that time, there was only a single question from someone, and the little nurse replied that it shouldn"t be him. Later, she didn"t take the matter to heart either. Who knew that after a few days, the person actually spread the photo to the fans.
“Do you think this photo is of our Yan-ge?”
(Yan-ge = elder brother Mingyan.)
In an instant, someone compared the dog owner"s photo with the photo of Wei Mingyan that was taken by a fan at the airport. The side profile was 100% alike, only his eyes seemed tired.
The watch that"s worn on the wrist of the left hand, the small light-colored mole with inconspicuous brow and tail, the slender and white hands envied by countless people, all prove that the man wearing a mask and full of exhaustion was Wei Mingyan.
The fans burst into a frenzy immediately. According to the message given by a Weibo post, their idol has just recovered a lost dog. However, almost everyone in this group thinks they are true fans.
True fans, how could you not know your idol has a dog in his house?
Conspiracy theories were immediately put forward.
“This man must be pretending to be Yan-ge on purpose!”
However, this one was rejected immediately. Apart from the photo sent out by the nurse, there was no breaking news on the internet. If there was some heat, the hot search would have been everywhere by now.
They discussed and deliberated without any results. The matter slowly spread outside. Soon, more and more videos and photos were exposed.
Who made everyone own a mobile phone nowadays? Anyone would be interested to see a handsome man in neat clothes and slender figure shouting in the streets even though they can"t see his face clearly. Even going through the garbage would rouse a little interest.
One of the clearest videos taken with sound was on that rainy day.
A man with long legs, holding an umbrella, shouted the pet"s name when pa.s.sers hurried by, “Stormy, Stormy!”
People didn"t know how long he has been shouting like this, his voice has already started to hoa.r.s.e, coupled with the interference of rain. They couldn"t hear it clearly.
In the video, the man walked into an alley. From the screen, they could only see what he was looking for something. The umbrella was hooked by the wind. The man wearing the mask was exposed to the camera. The mask was crooked, revealing the man"s high nose bridge. He quickly put on the mask, recovered the umbrella with difficulty, and shouted as he walked along with hoa.r.s.e voice.
The video was released by a girl who was stuck in front of a store because of the rain. She said that because of the rain, pa.s.sers-by were in a hurry. She waited for her friends to come and pick her up and saw the scene in the video.
At that time, she just felt that the man looked a little strange rummaging through all kinds of garbage. In addition, his legs were long and she felt he was a little handsome. she recorded it and showed it to her roommate. Her roommate happened to be Wei Mingyan"s diehard fan. She said that he looked like Wei Mingyan, so this video was preserved.
When there was a lot of disturbance on the internet, she chose to release the video to let everyone see if the man in the video is the man who resembles Wei Mingyan in the photo.
People who were still arguing about whether it was true or not insisted after seeing this video.
It"s him!
It must be him!
Yan-ge even kept a dog behind their backs. Does he still love his fans?
But he is really good to dogs!
How happy would they be if they were that dog!
When Wei Mingyan gently held Stormy in the sun, a small spark started to appear on the internet. When his eyes were full of sadness, standing by the door as he watched Song Qi leave with the old dog; who looks back frequently, Weibo had exploded.
“Now everyone knows that Stormy is a dog owned by Wei Mingyan. It"s ok if you didn"t pay attention to it before. Now you"ve just started a little bit. There are some hot topics here. Those paparazzi would start staring at you. If you really want to break up with Wei Mingyan and draw a clear line, Stormy can"t come with you.”
Song Qi didn"t expect it to be like this. Her eyes were still red, and she subconsciously clenched the leash holding Stormy. “Sister Qian, if I could hire a nanny, I would let them take care of…”
“Can you keep the nanny"s mouth closed?”
Song Qi was speechless.
In the past few years, she has clearly known how cruel it is in the circle. Not to mention how conspicuous the obvious difference between Stormy and other dogs are because of his age. Even if he is really indistinguishable from other dogs, as long as those people find evidence of Stormy"s presence in her home, they will certainly do everything in their power to connect the two together.
If it had been before, she and Wei Mingyan were fine together, but now they have separated …
“Qi Qi…”
Behind her came a man"s cautious voice. Song Qi turned her head, with red eyes she looked into the man"s careful gaze. She looked at her once lover who she really liked once, but only brought disappointment. His face was very pale. She looked into his eyes that once had a high-spirited and uncompromising temperament. Now, they only had shame.
Shame? Could he feel shame?
“Qi Qi, I just heard them say that it"s not suitable for you to take Stormy right now. You should give him to me for now. I promise to return him when all of this blows over.”
The man who once stood high was so careful, but Song Qi couldn"t believe him.
“Give him to you? Will you throw him away again?”
She couldn"t remember how she got through these past few days. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see images of Stormy suffering. She was afraid that she would forever lose a partner that has been with her for 10 years. She hated the fact that she trusted Wei Mingyan. Why did she ever like him?
This man could say that he is Stormy"s papa and that she is Stormy"s mama, then just abandon Stormy while she was away. Even if Stormy was recovered, is the wound on his body fake?
Thinking about it, she couldn"t help but feel wronged, but Song Qi endured.
Wei Mingyan is no longer the one she could rely on, so what"s the use of her grievance?
Song Qi tried to hold back her choking voice and whispered, “I"ll find a way to do this. Thank you for bringing Stormy back."
Thanking him politely as a stranger. She then took Stormy"s leash and choked her words out, “Stormy, let"s go."
“Woof…” The old dog; who used to be docile and obedient, now sat still. His eyes are back to normal after several days of treatment. Right now, he is desperately bowing his back and pulling the dog leash tightly.
For fear of hurting it, Song Qi had to follow Stormy"s lead, “Stormy? What"s the matter?”
The shaved old dog whimpered. His eyes looked at his female owner, as if he was crying. He pulled the dog leash with his head and walked to Wei Mingyan.
He stopped, crouched at the man"s feet, spit out his tongue and quietly looked at Song Qi as usual.
Song Qi froze and looked at her old dog quietly. She couldn"t help covering her mouth and crying out loud.
When she quarreled with Wei Mingyan before, Stormy did the same. He squatted beside them quietly waiting for them, and rub against their legs after the quarrel.
When they were reconciled, even when no one told him, he shook his tail and looked happy for them.
Song Qi has told Wei Mingyan that if they quarrel in the future, Stormy must be the one who mediates.
But now, they have broken up.
Wei Mingyan squats down and gently touches the old dog beside him. He is obedient to the touch and enjoys it while squinting from time to time.
The handsome man looked at Song Qi, his eyes were almost full of pleading, “Qi Qi, I regret it, I know I was wrong. Let Stormy accompany me for a while, I"m sorry…”
“I promise I will give him back to you…”
He said incoherently, his eyelashes were shaking so much that Song Qi knew it was his nervous reaction.
She has never seen Wei Mingyan like this. In her memory, even if Wei Mingyan did something wrong, he would rather die than admit it. In this man"s mind, it seems that there was no such thing as regret.
But now, he says, he regrets it.
The pressure from the outside world, Stormy un-cooperating, and the man she used to trust. Song Qi; who bit her lip to keep herself from crying out loud, this girl; who is still in her early twenties, did not know what to do.
“Qi Qi, Qi Qi, come on, you come in with me first. Let Mingyan walk the dog for a while, let"s have a good talk.”
The agent saw that the two were in a deadlock and had to step forward.
He waved at the man and watched Wei Mingyan stand up and leave with Stormy behind him. Only then did Song Qi enter the room.
This was the love nest shared by the two. Each place bears Song Qi"s mark, her cup, her favorite table mat and the orchid she raised.
Seeing the flowers still in bloom, Song Qi was a little surprised because she knew Wei Mingyan didn"t care about the flowers and plants at all, but now, the flowers are so beautiful that she knew they are taken good care of at a glance.
“Qi Qi, I know that you are angry with Mingyan, and he knows that he is wrong. Since you left that night, he pushed all appointments then drank himself into the hospital the first night, and he has been looking for the dog outside ever since. I have known him for five years, and it"s really the first time that I saw him scramble like this."
“I also know that you regard Stormy as a relative and cannot accept him for a while, but now everyone thinks that Stormy is kept by Mingyan. Can he keep Stormy for a while?”
“When the spotlight pa.s.ses, I will personally give him back, ok?”
Song Qi didn"t speak, the agent sighed and handed her the mobile phone. “This is a video taken by some pa.s.sers-by. Mingyan was looking for Stormy. In fact, at that time, he had just been told by the doctor to rest but ran out before the treatment was finished. Qi Qi, Mingyan is more vulnerable than I imagined. I never thought that he would be so scared to lose you …”
Song Qi stared at the man in the video. He squeezed himself into the alley. The umbrella was blown away and caught in the rain, but he still insisted on looking without the umbrella after looking at the scene inside.
Song Qi has never seen this side of Wei Mingyan before. But why? Why did it happen now?
“Okay, I"ll let him take Stormy for the time being…”
She choked back her tears and agreed softly.
