Professional Body Double

Chapter 3

By the time they finished eating, and walked out of the restaurant it was two in the afternoon with the blazing sun beating down their heads. Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes as he raised his head to look up. Across the street was a gigantic LED advertisement screen in the commercial square up ahead. The screen was displaying a business commercial. Due to the light shining behind the large building, for a few seconds it was almost impossible to clearly make out what was on the screen. By chance, a black cloud floated over, blocking the sun. The giant screen switched to a luxury expensive watch brand commercial, and a man wandered out from a pure black background.

    Zhou Xiang’s complexion suddenly changed.

    It was a man in his early twenties. His tall, slender and perfect figure was wrapped by a pure white suit, creating a stark contrast with the background. He lifted his head slightly, revealing a peerlessly handsome face. That face was completely expressionless, his eyes were ice-cold, and the line of his tightly pursed lips conveyed an inapproachable hard and cold air. He buckled a diamond watch onto his wrist. It was just a very, very simple action, yet when it was performed by him, it noble, graceful, thrilling and breath-taking. Many people walking on the street turned their heads or halted their steps, all in order to rest their eyes upon that man.

    A sharp pain cut through Zhou Xiang’s heart. With a pallid complexion, he took a deep breath.

    Yang Mingxiu? Why was he... Why would he go and shoot a commercial? With his family background, why would he need to go on screen to sell smiles?

    Behind him, Cai Wei snorted coldly, his tone permeated with hatred.

    Zhou Xiang instantly snapped out of his reverie and adjusted his facial expression, afraid that Cai Wei would make out something.

    Cai Wei knew about what happened between him and Yan Mingxiu. As a result, Cai Wei was full of loathing towards Yan Mingxiu, and that hadn’t changed in these two years.

    From the looks of it, the influence a person has on another person really isn’t something that can easily fade.

    To Cai Wei, two years had already passed. However to Zhou Xiang, everything that happened between him and Yan Mingxiu was just something that occurred a week ago. He could even still vividly remember the last phone call he had with Yan Mingxiu. He could still clearly remember Yan Mingxiu’s scent, his overbearing, wilful and various demands, his personality which persisted on doing things his own way, not caring in the least when he hurt others, and even his smile, his rage, and his unquestionable love for Wang Yudong were all still crystal clear in Zhou Xiang’s mind. Everything that he wanted to forget as quickly as possible, to him, was something that only happened a few days ago. They say that time is the best medicine; for him the time passed was still too short. He originally thought that he would start afresh, without having to see him, without thinking about him, and one day he would be able to wipe that failed relationship completely from his mind. He never expected that he would be forced to see Yan Mingxiu again on the very day that he left the hospital, and that in the foreseeable future he will continue to see him.

    Seeing that Zhou Xiang and Cai Wei were both staring at the commercial in front, Chen Ying looked as well and then gasped in admiration, “How can a boy look be so nice-looking, he’s too good-looking.”

    Cai Wei said in disdain, “What’s the shit use of being good-looking when you’re a bastard.”

    Chen Ying said with surprise, “Xiao Cai, you know him?”

    Cai Wei replied sullenly, “Mhm, I know him”

    “What’s wrong with him? He’s not a good person?”
