THE PERFECT TWIN

Chapter 22: Dude.. Seriously?

After living together for about a month, Jiang Cheng and Yibo learnt to get along. Gradually, the tension cooled down between them. It was natural progression since they had to train and attend classes together.

Yibo realized that Jiangcheng was the type to hide his shyness with a layer of arrogance. Once you get to know him, he was a normal guy and they actually had alot of common things to talk between them. Gradually. Yibo warmed up to him.

The life of a professional racer was an eye opener for him. His schedule was packed. In the morning, he had to attend training classes with the other racers after that timed practices and vehicle tryouts. The afternoon was spent tuning the vehicles and testing the different engines and parts to the car to best suit his driving style. In the evening he went to the gym to work out. It was part of the program to increase his stamina and maintain his health.

"Why do you want to be a racer?"

Jiangcheng asked him one night when they were watching euro motorcross live on the large tv in the living room.

Yibo had his eyes glued to the screen, seemingly energized by the match he saw. With a twinkle in his eye, he told him.

"When I'm behind the wheels, driving at high speed, Its when the world seemed to stop."

"And it was just you yourself suddenly feeling free like never before?"

Yibo was stunned by the next words. He glanced at Jiang Cheng who was sitting beside him, his red hair still wet from the shower earlier.

"How do you know what I was gonna say?"

Yibo answered half surprised.

"Me too."

"Ah." he chuckled.

It had been a while he talked to someone who share the same vision as him. It gave him somewhat a refreshing feeling.

"Want a beer?" Jiang Cheng asked holding two cans of chilled beer taken directly from the fridge.

"Why are you drinking beer at this time of night? Aren't you afraid of beer belly?"

"Bah! Why are you so afraid of a little fat on your stomach? Girls love the bits of cushion y'know."

Jiang Cheng was staring at Yibo's abs under his tshirt.

"Umm.. No thanks. I'm not wasting my two hours at the gym for some cold beer."

"Are you a girl? And the best time to drink beer is at night! Which dumbass drinks beer in the daytime.?"

Jiang Cheng was wearing a black sleeveless singlet and a matching black shorts. He walked toward Yibo and stopped in front of him.

Jiang Cheng suddenly lifted up his black singlet flashing his toned torso and belly.

"Huh? What are you..?"

Yibo was shocked by the turn of events. The sudden move was completely unexpected.

Jiang Cheng grabbed Yibo's hand and placed it on his abs. Yibo was too surprised to react and went along with him. A refreshing scent of soap and a light dash of cologne overpowered his senses.

"Feel it.. See its not so bad. I drink beer alot at night. So don't worry about it."

Jiang Cheng's abs were not overly toned, yet the shape was still beautiful. Yibo managed to cope a feel under his guidance before withdrawing his hands nervously.

Before he could protest or give him a piece of his mind, the cold beer bottle was pressed to his face, then dropped off. It landed abruptly on his hands.
