A young man with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up hurried out of a store, heading in the direction of home. Suddenly, after a muffled thunder, a torrential downpour started, and the people on the street hurriedly looked for places to shelter from the rain. The young man had to speed up his pace, soon passing an inconspicuous alleyway entrance. The young man, having already run past, turned back to the entrance, peering carefully into the alley. The rain fell too heavily, and having slight nearsightedness, he could barely see the scene before him. "Aw-woo..." A faint sound emerged again. The young man walked toward the sound and exhaled in relief, indeed, there's something here, he hadn't heard wrong. "Aw-woo aw-woo..." The sound was already quiet, and in the downpour, it was barely audibly minute. Inside a cardboard box was a small, black animal. He sighed at it, "Aye, you're also unlucky, so small, yet unwanted already, I'll take you home first and think of ways afterward." Saying this, he picked up the box and turned to run home. After a hot bath, he finally felt recovered, and his hands and feet were no longer cold. Looking at the small black animal nestled on the sofa, Ruan Xingwen was a bit curious. It wasn't a kitten, nor did it seem like a dog. He thought of taking it to the pet hospital once the rain stopped. Setting up a cozy little nest at the side of the sofa for it, Ruan Xingwen got up and returned to the bedroom to prepare for sleep. Just then, the phone rang. "Xingwen, are you home now?" The person on the phone asked anxiously. If I haven't reached home by now, you'll see me in the headlines of society news tomorrow, titled 'An unknown minor celebrity from the eighteenth tier homeless in the rain, a fall of morals or a twist of humanity?' Ruan Xingwen amused himself, pursing his lips into a smile. "I'm home, just ready to sleep, Sister Li." Sister Li, Li Li, his agent, managing four other artists besides him, totaling five. Sister Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I've been so busy here, I didn't take care of you. So, how was the audition this afternoon? What did the crew say?" "It's probably over for me. Xu Yang also came and I heard he was trying for the same role as me. And listen to the planning guy, he's brought in by the team with investment." There was no need to elaborate; Sister Li understood what it meant. "Then let it be. It's the best resource I could fight for you recently. Have a good rest these days, there will be opportunities in the future, don't be discouraged, I'll look out for other scripts for you." After comforting Ruan Xingwen, she let out a sigh unnoticeably, "Aye, Director Wang's crew, huh." Ruan Xingwen rubbed his eyes, "Mm-hmm, thank you, Sis. I'm fine, I'm used to it. I'm ready to sleep, you should too, it's not good for the skin to stay up late." "Alright, sleep early, goodnight." "Goodnight, Sis." Tossing the phone on the nightstand, he snuggled into the bed, drifting into sleep. ———Swish——— The heavy curtains were drawn open, letting the morning sunshine after the rain shine brightly. "Mmm." Ruan Xingwen rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the person by the window, then fell back into the bed upon recognizing them, muffling his voice, "It's you, Little Yuan, I'm having a break for a few days, didn't Sister Li tell you?" "Even if resting, you can't skip breakfast, I've already made it, hurry and get up to eat." The round-faced girl smiled, persuading him. Ruan Xingwen buried his head under the blanket, his voice muffled, "Let me sleep a little more, I'm so sleepy." Pfft, how adorable, both looking so good and having such a good personality, why can't he just become popular? Sigh. Little Yuan, Wang Xiaoyuan, just like her name, her face was round and adorable, yet she was efficient and quick at work, being Ruan Xingwen's assistant. "Come on, get up! By the way, I saw a pile of clothes by the sofa, do you want me to wash them in the laundry if that's the case?" Sitting up abruptly, he looked at Little Yuan in panic, "Did you only see clothes and not a small black little thing?" He said while quickly putting on his slippers, running toward the living room. The two began a chaotic search around the house for the small black animal Ruan Xingwen mentioned. Defeatedly, he sat back on the bed, lying down. "Aw-woo!" Huh? What's that sound? He quickly unfolded the blanket and found the little thing they'd been searching for. He gently flicked the little thing's head, feeling a bit strange. He clearly remembered placing it beside the sofa last night, so how did it end up under the blanket? Did it move itself? It shouldn't be, even though his bed wasn't high, considering its tiny size, it shouldn't be able to climb up, really strange. He yelled towards the bedroom door, "Little Yuan, stop looking, I've found it, it's in my blanket." "In the blanket? You even forgot that?" Looking at the little thing in Ruan Xingwen's arms, Little Yuan was convinced that Ruan Xingwen had forgotten bringing the little one into bed with him. "Uh, perhaps I forgot. Could you accompany me to the pet hospital later to check its condition and find out what kind of animal it actually is?" "Okay, hurry and eat breakfast, it'll get cold." Searching for the little thing had taken up quite a bit of time. After a combined brunch, the two drove to a nearby pet hospital. After a thorough check-up, the pet hospital doctor assured them, "It's very healthy, just a bit weak, usually pay more attention to nutritional intake. As for its breed, I reckon it's a mix of German Shepherd and Belgian Black." Ruan Xingwen held the little thing, smiling as he nodded, "Alright, thank you." Turning his head, he consulted with his companion, "Little Yuan, could you help me buy some dog food for him, along with some canned food for balanced nutrition." Little Yuan was surprised, "You're struggling to support yourself, are you really planning to keep it?" "What else can I do? I don't feel assured leaving it at a stray animal center, after all, I brought it home in the pouring rain yesterday, it'll keep me company from now on." Ruan Xingwen said helplessly. "Aw-woo aw-woo～" The little thing rubbed its head against Ruan Xingwen's hand, acting spoiled. Ruan Xingwen's heart instantly melted, gently flicking the little thing's head, such a soft little mischief-maker. Little Yuan stared blankly at the picturesque scene before her. A beautiful boy holding a small black dog, smiling, sunlight halos forming a golden aura around him. Ruan Xingwen had fair skin, big watery eyes more vibrant than a girl's, with a tiny brown mole lively at the right side of his nose tip. Now slightly bowing his head, eyes smiling softly, looking caringly at the little thing in his arms. Since his debut, Little Yuan had been his assistant, over two years, yet seeing him could still leave her captivated by his looks. She couldn't help but feel indignant, how could such a handsome and gentle person not become popular?! Ruan Xingwen's appearance was ranked high even in the entertainment industry, but he simply couldn't get popular because he was just too unlucky.
