Rebirth: Professional Substitute

Chapter 103 -Persuading ZhouXiang to Leave YanMingXiu

ZhouXiang cautioned ChenYing a few words and left. Glancing at the time, there was still ample time but just in case, he sent a text to LanXiRong to come pick them up an hour later.

The café was very easy to find. The patrons coming to this shop that still remained opened two days before the Lunar New Year's had reduced by half. The color of the exterior wall of this cafe is very unique and eye-catching.

There was barely anyone in the shop. When he entered, the waiter asked if he was here to meet someone with the surname Yan. ZhouXiang replied that he is so the waiter took him to the reserved room.

YanMingSu sat alone in the room. He swept a glance at ZhouXiang, his expression deep and serious.

ZhouXiang closed the door and sat opposite of YanMingSu. He wanted to wait for YanMingSu to speak first but YanMingSu just kept staring at him, with his eyes barely blinking, making him extremely nervous.

So he could only force himself to speak first, "Are you looking for me regarding YanMingXiu? I haven't seen him for a long time. In fact, I don't even know where he is."

YanMingSu responded gloomily, "You don't need to lure me into telling you. I'm also not going to lie to you. He is home now."

ZhouXiang sat up straight, "At home."

"Yes, at home, confined by my dad."

ZhouXiang is slightly startled, "Confined?"

"MingMei went home and told them about the matter with you guys. MingXiu simply admitted and ultimately the altercation turned out like this. Seeing how it's already the New Years, everything is such a terrible mess both in and out of the family. He's been kept home under house arrest by my dad, not allowed to go out."

ZhouXiang lowered his head with his hands trembling. He put his hand in his pocket and gently tightened it into a fist.

"I have a younger sister and a younger brother. One found a vain and dishonest trash (referring to WangYuDong); another simply found one of the same sex (referring ZhouXiang). Not one can ease my mind." YanMingSu shook his head, looking exhausted and agitated.

ZhouXiang strongly suppressed the shock of his heart and faintly responded, "I don't know why you're looking for me."

He never imagined that YanMingXiu would really come out to his family. A family like the Yan's, YanMingXiu would have to bear the pressure in daring to say that he actually liked a man? If YanMingXiu could really do this for him...

ZhouXiang's heart wavered. This is the first time. He began to doubt his determination. He began to doubt, maybe... maybe everything is not as bad as he thinks, maybe even going back on his old path, it may not be a dead end.

YanMingSu was observing his expression the entire time. At this moment, he mocked, "What? Very touched? If it was three years ago, I might still be uncertain but now I can clearly tell you, when my brother likes you, he can put his entire heart into it, but after it's over, where is the love?"

ZhouXiang narrowed his eyes, "I'm a simple minded person, Director Yan (T/N), please say it directly."

T/N: YanMingSu's title is 廳長, which is the head of a governmental department; director. Assume that YanMingXu is an head director of a Governmental department.

"Three years ago, there was a person with the same exact name as yours, who had been with MingXiu. You know right?"

"I know."

"When this person had an accident years ago, MingXiu was also very heart broken. But what happened in the end? It's all been forgotten. And now, he's once again fallen hard for you. To tell you bluntly, who can't live on after someone leaves? No matter how deep the feelings were, after the time had passed, it's nothing special. If I want, I have many ways to make it so that you guys won't be able to see each other for the rest of your lives. One day he will forget about you. But I don't want to do that because MingXiu will hate me. I would rather prefer that you be a bit more reasonable in seeing the situation and take the initiative to break up with him."
