Professional Body Double

Chapter 10

Zhou Xiang rested at home for two days. When he had work, he would be busy until the middle of the night; when he didn't have work, he didn't need to leave his house for a week. The past two days, he sent Yan Mingxiu two texts one after another. However, like stones sunk into the sea, he received no reply. Zhou Xiang was a bit disappointed. He guessed that even if he took the initiative to invite Yan Mingxiu, Yan Mingxiu still wouldn't come.

    To his surprise, one afternoon, Yan Mingxiu actually rang him on his accord. Thrilled to bits, Zhou Xiang hurriedly answered the call. “Hello?”

    “Hi, where are you?”

    “I'm at home.”

    “Come out for a meal with me.”

    “Sure, where do wanna go? Should I go pick you up?”

    “No need. Gongti [1]. I'll send you the address, just come straight over.” Yan Mingxiu hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

    Zhou Xiang quickly leapt from the sofa. He had a shower and shaved his beard in the fastest possible speed, tidying himself up. After that, he impatiently drove to Gongti.

    When Zhou Xiang arrived at the Thai restaurant and entered the private room Yan Mingxiu had reserved, he saw that Yan Mingxiu was already sitting on the sofa. His legs were crossed, and his head was lowered, looking at the menu. His imposing manner was like he was reading a several hundred million yuan contract. The female waitress stood reverently and respectfully at his side, secretly sizing up his face, eyes filled with admiration.

    As soon as Zhou Xiang came in, the two looked over. Zhou Xiang happily greeted Yan Mingxiu, “Sorry I’m late.”

    “No problem, I just arrived too.” Yan Mingxiu closed the menu. “We'll have these first.”

    Zhou Xiang hastily said, “Don't order too much, I ate a little before I came.”

    “You've eaten already?”

    “I ate some snacks at home, so I'm not really hungry.”

    “I haven't ordered that much.” Yan Mingxiu passed the menu to the waitress.

    The waitress left, leaving the two of them alone in the large private room. Zhou Xiang asked, “Judging from what I saw out there, this restaurant seems to have really good business, why are we using such a big room?” Even the cheapest room probably wouldn't be cheap.

    Yan Mingxiu wasn't paying any attention to what Zhou Xiang was saying at all, and was instead staring at Zhou Xiang's lips with an odd expression in his eyes.

    Zhou Xiang spoke a bit more and noticed that Yan Mingxiu had been staring at him the entire time. Sensing that the atmosphere in the room had changed, he cleared his throat, and said with a soft and silky voice, “How did you find the time to invite me out today? You didn't reply to any of the texts I sent you, I thought that you had already forgotten me.”

    Yan Mingxiu said indifferently, “Too lazy to reply.” Yan Mingxiu’s sort of arrogant and egoistic personality was actually really annoying——if that personality belonged to just an ordinary person that is. However, when it was Yan Mingxiu acting this way, Zhou Xiang felt that his every expression was exceptionally enchanting, even that languid and apathetic attitude made his heart tickle.

    Yan Mingxiu cast a glance at him. Zhou Xiang wasn't concealing his fondness and thirst for him at all; though it was true that there was no reason to hide it. Among men, it was better to be more direct, just each taking what they need.
