Top-tier movie star Sebastian Hayes posts on Twitter: "Who stole my dog!"
An hour later, my alt account posting pictures of the dog was doxxed.
Soon, netizens discovered:
"Isn't that Sebastian's dog?!"
"This kid actually dared to steal the movie star's dog? Everyone knows that dog is his precious baby!"
"He's done for. Wait for the lawsuit!"
But no one knows, the dog followed me willingly.
Because it was the token of love I gave to Sebastian.

It's common knowledge that movie star Sebastian Hayes loves dogs.
Especially the one he raised himself, named "Moon."
He can go a month without posting a selfie, but he absolutely cannot go without posting a picture of his dog.
His fans say if you want to capture Sebastian's heart, you first need to capture Moon's heart.
But that night at nine, Sebastian suddenly tweeted: "Who stole my dog!"
The exclamation mark at the end practically screamed his rage through the screen.
Fans and passersby were stunned.
[OMG, who dares to steal Moon? They're dead meat!]
[Dog thief! Give Moon back to Sebastian!]
[I can imagine Sebastian thinking about Moon being gone and losing sleep all night.]
[If I can find Moon, will... Sebastian date me? Hehe.]
[I feel like he'd give you his life if you did.]
Meanwhile, the "dog thief" everyone was talking about—me—was happily walking the Samoyed outside.
This dog was the love token I gave Sebastian, but after we broke up, he forcibly kept the dog.
He wouldn't let me see it and posted pictures all day to tempt me.
As one of the dog's owners, could I tolerate this?
So, on the 38th night of him hogging the dog, I found out his schedule, sneaked into his house, and vowed to steal the dog back.
Who knew the moment I opened the door, I locked eyes with Moon's round, bulging eyes.
Moon's pupils dilated instantly. He obediently held the leash in his mouth and spun around excitedly, as if he knew I was there to pick him up.
I patted his fluffy head with satisfaction, took the leash, and carefully slipped away.
Moon was super excited the whole way, tail wagging non-stop.
I smirked triumphantly.
Seems Moon still likes me more.
Sebastian can have the dog's body, but he can't have its heart.
Besides, the dog followed me willingly. How can you call that stealing?
