Professional Body Double

Chapter 19

Zhou Xiang hadn't been drunk for a long time. When he woke up, he turned over, but his body met air and he fell onto the ground with a thud. He opened his drowsy eyes and saw that he was in the living room, and just before he had been sleeping on the sofa with only a blanket over him.

    Zhou Xiang couldn't remember how he got back, but since he got home safety, it didn't matter.

    "Awake now?"

    Zhou Xiang jumped with a start. He turned his head and saw Yan Mingxiu sitting in front of the dining table, coldly staring at him.

    Zhou Xiang’s body ached terribly all over. Someone his height had squeezed in a sofa for one night so it wasn’t surprising. "My waist really hurts, ow." Zhou Xiang complained resentfully, "You let me sleep on the sofa?"

    Yan Mingxiu's anger hadn't dispelled. He snorted, "Don't tell me I should have let someone as stinky as you sleep on the bed?"

    Zhou Xiang thought to himself, 'That's my bed', but it was true that a drunken person was pretty troublesome, and it ended up fine anyway; now he didn't have to change his sheets.

    He absentmindely closed his eyes again. His head was very heavy. He didn't want to move.

    Yan Mingxiu slammed a cup down on the glass dining table, and raised his voice. "Why don't you ask yourself how you got back?"

    "Ah? How did I come back? Who sent me home?" He felt that it should be Cai Wei.

    "It was a young handsome guy." Yan Mingxiu sat down on a sofa next to his one, and said in bad-temperedly, "Your attractiveness level is pretty high, if I wasn't at home yesterday, today you two would have probably woken up in the same bed."

    Zhou Xiang worked hard to recall his memories. Don't tell me it was Lan Xirong who sent him back home? Besides him and Cai Wei, no one else knew where he lived. He replied, "Oh, I know who it is now. A colleague, right?" He cracked a grin, "Are you jealous?"

    Yan Mingxiu burst into anger. "Don't think so highly of yourself." He then stood up, grabbed his keys, slammed the door and left.

    Zhou Xiang stared blankly at the door. Unfortunately, he had a serious hangover right now. He really didn't have the energy to think any further. He wobbled into the bedroom, fell head first into the bed, and fell asleep right away.

    When he woke up again, the sun had already set. Zhou Xiang got up and had a very thorough shower. He changed his sheets, and fed himself some food.

    When he turned his cell phone on, he saw that there was pile of unread messages and missed calls from Lan Xirong.

    Zhou Xiang called him back. After the call connected, Lan Xirong's slightly deep voice sounded from the other side, "Xiang'ge, why did you only turn on your phone now?"

    "Slept too much." Zhou Xiang kneaded his temples. "Did you send me back home yesterday? Sorry for the trouble."

    "Why are you being so polite?" Lan Xirong let out a sigh, and asked quietly, "Is that person your boyfriend?"

    "Hm", Zhou Xiang answered vaguely. "You saw him?" Yan Mingxiu couldn't be considered his boyfriend, after all, they hadn’t ever made any sort of commitment or anything. Right now, they could only be considered bed partners.

    "Xiang'ge, do you..."

    Zhou Xiang could tell that Lan Xirong had something to say but had stopped for some reason. He pressed, "What is it?"
