Professional Body Double

Chapter 7

“Where are you headed?” Zhou Xiang watched Yan Mingxiu strap on the seat belt. The back side of his white hand and slender fingers were very sexy.

    Yan Mingxiu was about to say ‘nearby hotel’ when his phone sounded.

    Yan Mingxiu took out his phone to look. It was a call from his sister, Yan Mingmei. Yan Mingmei told him to go her place to stay the night, and they’ll go back together to their parent’s home tomorrow. Yan Mingxiu really didn’t want to go. He hated hearing about her and Wang Yudong’s relationship from her lips. But, in the end, she was still his older sister, and he couldn’t think of any reason to refuse her. Thus, after he hung up the phone, he gave out the address of a neighbourhood in the Third Ring Road. Yan Mingmei had bought an apartment there for convenience to work, and generally lived there on work days.

    Zhou Xiang smiled, “That’s not far from my house.” He turned the steering wheel and from the parking lane, forcibly squeezed his car into jammed-packed main road.

    Shortly after he drove off, it suddenly started raining. Yan Mingxiu silently watched the gloomy sky through the window, with no intention of talking to Zhou Xiang.

    Nevertheless, Zhou Xiang didn’t find it awkward and started talking to him. “Are you Wang Yudong’s fan?” Zhou Xiang had seen fans behave in front of celebrities with the same sort of zeal and enthusiasm as Yan Mingxiu had in the afternoon, when he was interacting with Wang Yudong, countless times, so he didn’t find it strange at all. He simply felt that it was a bit of a shame. This boy looked like he was a very indifferent and standoffish person, yet only in front of Wang Yudong was he so friendly and enthusiastic; this must be the star power of a superstar.

    Naturally, Yan Mingxiu wasn’t going to tell an outsider that Wang Yudong was his sister’s boyfriend, and gave a perfunctory reply, “Hn, I’m Dong'ge’s fan.”

    “Which agency are you signed with?” Zhou Xiang guessed that Yan Mingxiu had to be a new talent that had just signed with some company, or else, no matter how pretty he was, he wouldn't have been allowed to come in and out of the studio as he wished.

    Yan Mingxiu didn't understand. “What agency?”

    “Talent agency of course.”

    Yan Mingxiu finally responded, “No, I’m not signed with any.”

    Zhou Xiang said in shock, “You haven't signed with any yet? Then, could you consider signing with our company? Our company isn't big, but its financial resources and connections are all top-notch.”

    Yan Mingxiu finally understood what he meant, and explained, “I’m not signing with any agency. I'm not becoming a celebrity.”

    Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, before he realised that he had guessed incorrectly. He said, smiling, “I apologise. You’re so handsome, I thought that you just debuted. That's a shame, with your looks, you'll definitely be popular.”

    Yan Mingxiu said absentmindedly, “I’m not interested.” His happy mood from seeing Wang Yudong had been completely ruined by his sister’s one phone call. He knew that in Wang Yudong's heart, he will only ever be his girlfriend's little brother. But to Yan Mingxiu, Wang Yudong meant far more than that...

    Zhou Xiang felt a bit bored seeing Yan Mingxiu's cold and detached attitude. Although he was itching to sound Yan Mingxiu out, he could tell Yan Mingxiu was completely uninterested in him. Even if Yan Mingxiu was gay, what did it matter? Being homosexual wasn’t anything special. If two men liked the look of each other, both would have realised already. Who had the patience to unearth if the other person was beautiful inside? Even though Zhou Xiang felt that it was a pity, he wasn't a petty person. Being able to accompany such an unrivalled beauty on the way home in a traffic jam under the heavy rain was already very wonderful. He'll just make do with sexually fantasizing about him in his head. He should tightly zip his mouth, behave and drive the car to avoid annoying him.
