Professional Body Double

Chapter 17

After Zhou Xiang had a shower and went to bed, he cast a glance at the clock on the wall. It was already four o'clock.

    He felt really tired but he couldn't fall asleep. His mind was tense the entire time. His head couldn't get rid of the events that had happened between him and Yan Mingxiu over the past ten hours.

    Zhou Xiang was deeply worried for himself. No matter how attractive Yan Mingxiu was, he still shouldn't be plunging in like a greenhorn who was in love for the first time. Analysing it rationally, although Zhou Xiang had always dreamed of having a stable relationship, Yan Mingxiu was evidently not a person who could settle down with him. Yan Mingxiu was too dazzling and too young. Zhou Xiang didn't feel that he'll be able to keep a watch over him.

    He shouldn't be so serious about Yan Mingxiu. It was too dangerous.

    Zhou Xiang closed his eyes, forcing himself to fall asleep.

    Just as he started feeling sleepy, the doorbell suddenly rang. Zhou Xiang jumped with a start. He opened his eyes. It was almost five o'clock, who would be ringing the doorbell at this hour?

    Don't tell me it's...

    Zhou Xiang jumped out of bed, glanced into the peephole, and then opened the door. Standing at the entrance was Yan Mingxiu, reeking of alcohol.

    Yan Mingxiu usually always looked arrogant and indifferent. This was the first time Zhou Xiang had ever seen him so intoxicated.

    Yan Mingxiu glanced at him, and suddenly threw himself at him, mumbling, "F**k, What am I to you..."

    Zhou Xiang couldn't hear clearly. "What? You what?"

    Yan Mingxiu was tall and heavy, and almost crushed Zhou Xiang to the ground. With great effort, Zhou Xiang moved Yan Mingxiu to the bedroom. Fortunately, his apartment was small, and he didn't need to go that far.

    Yan Mingxiu was still mumbling words that Zhou Xiang couldn't understand. Zhou Xiang turned on the light, and stared at the slightly pathetic looking Yan Mingxiu, and felt extremely helpless.

    He helped Yan Mingxiu take off his clothes and shoes, and used a hot towel to wipe off the sweat on his face. Afterwards, he poured him a cup of water, and made him drink hangover medicine.

    Yan Mingxiu opened his eyes, and blankly stared at him, or perhaps he was looking at another person through him.

    "Mingxiu? Are you awake or not? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Weren't you going to pick up your friend? How did you end up drunk as well? Then how did your friend get back? How did you get over here? Shit, don't tell me were drunk-driving, the police are watching out so tightly these days. You actually dared to? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?"

    Yan Mingxiu's eyes slowly recovered focus. He said hoarsely, "Oh, it's you."

    Now it was Zhou Xiang's turn to stare blankly at him. He then said helplessly, "You really have drunk too much."

    Yan Mingxiu covered his eyes with the back hand. The light was too harsh.

    He did everything he could to treat Wang Yudong well. He had never been so good to anyone in his entire life. Why did that person have to be his future brother-in-law? He drove in the middle of night to pick him up at a nightclub, but he clamoured and yelled for someone to find his wife. In the end, his sister went to pick him up, and they supported each other back home.

    Who did Wang Yudong think he was? He had no authority or power. If Wang Yudong wasn't his future brother-in-law, Yan Mingxiu would have already used his own methods to obtain him. However, there were some things in this world that even he, Yan Mingxiu couldn't obtain.
