Zhou Xiang looked at the phone on the ground, head lowered, and didn't speak.

    He didn't want to have a fight with Yan Mingxiu but he was too tired to explain. Merely sending a drunken friend back home could result in this kind of interrogation. Yan Mingxiu's wilfulness and arrogance was nothing new, but it was especially unbearable today. Perhaps it was because his mind was still occupied with what happened during the day. Yan Mingxiu's attitude, how he anxiously dissociated himself from him, made it so that even though Zhou Xiang had found lots of reasons in his head to defend him, he still felt bitterly disappointed.

    Seeing that Zhou Xiang wasn't saying a word, Yan Mingxiu got even madder. Wang Yudong's low sigh echoed in his head over and over again. Wang Yudong had looked at him with eyes of complete puzzlement and asked him why he was getting involved with someone like Zhou Xiang.

    Those eyes stabbed him like a needle.

    He also started wondering in confusion, was the reason he was together with Zhou Xiang merely because of his back view resembled Wang Yudong’s and nothing more? He, Yan Mingxiu was unable to obtain the same thing, and could only demean himself and resort to finding a substitute. When did he become so pathetic?

    And even though this person was just a substitute, and repeated over and over again that he liked him, he was also sowing oats behind his back.

    Yan Mingxiu had never been subjected such humiliation. Ruthlessness swelled up within him. Zhou Xiang's silence didn't not cool his temper in the least. Instead, that silent admittance made his rage flame up even more.

    Yan Mingxiu shouted angrily, "F**king say something! You promised me at that time that unless you come across him at the company, you will absolutely not come in touch with him. Were those words all just a f**king fart? You even went to his house! He's a major celebrity, why couldn't someone else send him home, why did it have to be you?!" At this point, it was no longer just about Lan Xirong, Yan Mingxiu only needed to find an outlet to vent his irritable mood.

    Zhou Xiang raised his head. His face didn't have its usual smile. He merely said dully, "Mingxiu, stop making a fuss, okay? I only sent a drunk person home, does it deserve you acting this way?" His voice was filled with exhaustion. Even simply constraining the discontent in his heart had already used up all of his mental and physical energy.

    Yan Mingxiu snorted coldly, "You already sent yourself to his house, why bother to come back? I heard people say that you two used to always hang out together. He can drop by your house without notice, if I hadn't been here, you two would have already continued your relationship from before."

    The more Yan Mingxiu spoke, the more he felt he sounded like an unreasonable shrew. However, he couldn't stop. He felt as if he was a spectator, helplessly watching his own mouth unceasingly spit out those cutting words. He didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he wanted to see Zhou Xiang get angry, or maybe he just wanted to take out his temper on Zhou Xiang. This person had thrown him off his balance, and had made him drift further and further away from Wang Yudong, and Wang Yudong even saw them embracing each other. Even though he knew perfectly well that there was no hope between him and Wang Yudong, he still never wanted to let Wang Yudong know about him and Zhou Xiang. It made him furious and indignant, it made him panicked, it made him want to bring order out of chaos.

    Zhou Xiang suddenly stood up, his complexion gloomy. "Mingxiu, I don't want to quarrel with you. Think for yourself whether you’re being reasonable. I'll stay out tonight." He grabbed his coat and started to head out. He couldn't stay here for a second longer, if he did, he was afraid that he would...
