Professional Body Double

Chapter 9

After they finished eating, Yan Mingxiu continued to watch TV, while Zhou Xiang tidied up the kitchen.

    After he finished, he brought out desserts and tea. He hadn’t entertained guests in his house for a long time. He rarely brought people home and even if he did bring someone back, they would usually start having sex as soon as they entered the house, and definitely wouldn't have time to sit down to drink tea and chat.

    Although it was a pity that they couldn't accomplish their goal, sitting and chatting together with Yan Mingxiu in this sort of rainy night was pretty romantic, so Zhou Xiang was in a pretty good mood.

    Zhou Xiang chatted with Yan Mingxiu, asking him stuff like what he was doing right now. Yan Mingxiu started school at a relatively early age. He was only twenty this year but had already graduated from university, and had come back to China to work. Yan Mingxiu didn't reveal a lot of information about himself, but Zhou Xiang listened with great interest. The two of them chatted for a long time. Zhou Xiang was a rather humorous and witty person, and knew what to say and what not to say. In the end, Yan Mingxiu was clearly not as cautious as he was in the beginning and would even occasionally reveal a smile that made Zhou Xiang’s little heart skip a beat.

    Seeing him like that, Zhou Xiang’s heart couldn’t help but race. He hadn't experienced this kind of feeling for a long time.

    Time passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already past ten o’clock. Yan Mingxiu yawned. A wave of fatigue also swept over Zhou Xiang. Both of them were exhausted from today’s activities.

    Zhou Xiang laughed. “You must be tired out from chatting with me for so long. Go have a shower, and then go to sleep.”

    Yan Mingxiu entered the bathroom to have a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, Zhou Xiang was watering his flowers. As soon as he turned around, he saw Yan Mingxiu wearing a pair of baggy pyjamas and shorts. He looked fresh and full of life, and especially alluring.

    The two of them looked at each other. They both felt something, but remembering the awkwardness a few hours ago, neither made any further move. Zhou Xiang pointed to the bedroom. “I found a clean blanket. You'll have to bear with sleeping with me tonight, my guest room hasn't been cleaned for a quite a while, it’s uninhabitable.”

    Yan Mingxiu nodded, turned and entered the bedroom.

    After Zhou Xiang finished bathing, Yan Mingxiu seemed to have already fallen asleep. He quietly walked into the bedroom and heard Yan Mingxiu's even breathing. He moved closer and saw that, sure enough, Yan Mingxiu had fallen asleep from exhaustion. His long lashes cast a circular shadow on the curve of his eyes. His straight nose and line of his lips made his profile look like absolute perfection. Even just looking at it moved Zhou Xiang's heart beyond imagination.

    Zhou Xiang thought of himself as someone who didn't judge people by appearances. However, he had no choice but to admit that most people in the guy community were shallow. Males paid more attention to their visual sexual appeal than females. The community chose based on who was handsome, who had a good figure, and who's 'plaything' was big. They could take off their pants and do it in their first meeting if they liked the look of each other. Who had the time to study a person's inner beauty? With looks like Yan Mingxiu's, it was hard for Zhou Xiang not to be attracted to him.

    Nothing happened today. Zhou Xiang started feeling a bit regretful so he stooped down and secretly kissed the side of Yan Mingxiu's face. Only after that did he climb onto the bed and lie down beside him to sleep.

    After Zhou Xiang lay down, Yan Mingxiu softly opened his eyes. An unreadable light flickered in his eyes.

    As Yan Mingxiu had taken a long distance flight, he was truly too tired. By the time he woke up, it was already past two in the afternoon. When he woke up he felt very dazed, and for a moment had no idea where he was.
