Professional Body Double Chapter 36

Translator: McInYourNightmare

Proofreader: Is no one seriously gonna help?

Zhou Xiang drove home. 

This is the house in lived in for 30 years from birth. But now, because of a certain someone, he did not dare return home for several days.

He was the one who took this person home but now, he wants to drive this person away. Yan MingXiu is arrogant, perhaps, he can’t stand the humiliation of being driven out or else, why is he still entangled with him?

He is afraid that in Yan MingXiu’s eyes, he is merely a competent nanny and bed partner, nothing else.

He returned home, the lights were brightly lit, Yan MingXiu had returned.

Zhou Xiang took a deep breath and opened the door with the key...

Yan MingXiu was sitting on the sofa, and was coldly looking at him.

Zhou Xiang like in normal times, took off his coat and hung it at the door, changed into slippers, and put the keys on the shoe cabinet. Every time he goes home, this series of habitual movements has been seen many times by Yan Mingxiu. This familiar scene is fixed in front of the eyes, as if nothing happened between them, just that Yan MingXiu is one step ahead of him.

Zhou Xiang used the maximum strength he could muster to maintain his superficial calm. He walked over and looked at the inner room. He said indifferently: "You haven't packed up yet, I will help you."

Yan MingXiu’s expression quickly changed, he suddenly jerked up from the sofa and grabbed Zhou Xiang’s collar. He raised his fist and slammed it down.

Zhou Xiang grabbed his wrist and glared at him, not willing to be outdone.

Yan MingXiu said with gritted teeth, “what the hell is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? Taking this joke to this extent.”

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said: "You were drunk that night. You came back and held my neck and kissed me. Your mouth kept calling 'Dong Ge'. The fact is I am only a stuntman with no skill, not more than a toe of your 'Dong Ge', still, I have a face to save, but when you came on to me, it was your 'Dong Ge', I can't stand it, normal people can't stand it. I already said clearly enough, please move out and go to your 'Dong Ge'.”

Yan MingXiu’s complexion turned ashen. Although he had already guessed long ago that he was drunk that night, he said something that should not be said, but he did not remember it at all. The engagement ceremony of his sister and Wang Yudong greatly upset him, but it also made him feel some sort of relief. He felt that he was finally dying. The things his heart couldn’t obtain always looked good, even if he longed for it again, he also could not touch it. They were brothers and sisters. He couldn’t go to grab his sister’s things. He can only give up. That night, he drank all the frustrations and losses with alcohol. He didn't want to vent anything. He just wanted to remember when he was in his teens and was still afraid of his true sexuality. On the big screen, he saw this kind of stunning Wang Yudong and yearned for him.

It was a pure white and sleek back, the beautiful body gracefully fell into the water, and the cold river under the moonlight soaked his robes. The wide shoulders, tight waistline, full hips faintly discernible and hair scattered, the most intuitive and sexy. Yan Mingxiu can even recall the impulse of his own blood surging at that time, the back slowly turned around and the revealed handsome appearance even more, did not disappoint him. Responding to a man's body, for the 16-year-old Yan Mingxiu, it was a big shock. Since then he has seen all kinds of beautiful people, but he has never forgotten the initial and breathtaking shock that Wang Yudong had given him.

At that time, he never thought the person will become someone he could not make his partner. 

When Wang Yudong and his sister held an engagement ceremony, it was like declaring Yan MingXiu’s failure, this made his heart feel incessantly depressed. He didn't even remember how he walked into the pub, how he got dead drunk, or how he returned home with Zhou Xiang. 

Naturally, he would not remember what he said and did that night.

However, Zhou Xiang told him, and he was not far from guessing.

But he never thought that Zhou Xiang would have such a big reaction.

When he looked at the pair of monks and smiled at the engagement ceremony, he only felt cold and he wanted to go back to his and Zhou Xiang’s home. He wanted to hold Zhou Xiang because Zhou Xiang could comfort him. Never before has he felt such a strong need to see Zhou Xiang and feel him.

(T/N: why can’t he realize this is love? Is this big idiot a lone star? (ref to the novel Qizi))

Because Zhou Xiang is always there, no matter what he says or does, he will not leave.

However, even Zhou Xiang actually left.

Woke up but no warm body, no dry towels, no hot breakfast.

At that time, he was dead drunk, dizzy and nauseous. Zhou Xiang was however, not there to take care of him. He had never been treated so coldly before, he was so angry, he had a headache all day.

He thought Zhou Xiang was too occupied at the company, he did not expect Zhou Xiang to stay out all night, however, he didn’t return. He endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but call Zhou Xiang the next day. He wanted to hear how Zhou Xiang explained it, however, He Zhou Xiang ordered him to leave.

Zhou Xiang, who has been completely docile and obedient towards him this past one year, actually rushed to drive him away!

Yan Mingxiu did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that at that moment, he had the feeling of being abandoned.

This is unreasonable, only he is tired of such a relationship, what reason does Zhou Xiang have to abandon him!

Zhou Xiang saw that Yan Mingxiu's expression was somewhat distorted, as if he would pounce on him at any time, and carefully stepped back. "If you need my help, I will help you clean up. If you don't need it, I will come back in a few days."

Yan Mingxiu said coldly, "coming back in a few days? Where have you been in these few days? Don't think I don't know, you went with LanXi Rong, if didn’t ask you to come back, were you going to stay at his place tonight? You are so anxious to drive me away, just for him."

Zhou Xiang felt a splitting headache. "The thing between me and you have nothing to do with him."

"You are getting closer and closer to him, and then you want to be separated from me. You dare to say that it has nothing to do with him." How can Yan MingXiu believe that Zhou Xiang will give up on himself. The only possibility is that he was confused by the little white face of LanXi Rong.

Zhou Xiang took a deep breath, he looked at Yan MingXiu and firmly said, “This is not related to him at all. Yan MingXiu, you are even more still so unreasonable, we being at this point today is it not owing to the fact that you like Wang Yudong? There’s no need for you to humiliate me!”

Yan MingXiu flew into a rage, “When did I humiliate you? You never said I should like you, I also have no obligation to like you, you yourself knows this too. We have been together like this for so long, for what reason are you now dissatisfied? Up till now, that kind of no good never existed between us.”

Zhou Xiang closed his eyes, he felt his heart was already completely cold, Yan MingXiu’s words penetrated his heart, however, he couldn’t even cry out, he could only silently weep, ““No, you really... no obligation to like me, go like your Dong Ge, let me go Ok?"

Yan Mingxiu tightly clenched his fist and ferociously stared at him. He couldn’t convince himself to slam the door and leave. He was not willing, why is it that even Zhou Xiang dares to push him away.

Right when the two were deadlocked, Yan Mingxiu’s cell phone rang. The two people’s minds were 

suddenly pulled back to reality.

Yan MingXiu pulled out the phone in annoyance and wanted to throw it away but when he saw the caller ID, he paused and hesitated to press the phone.

Zhou Xiang unconsciously opened his mouth. "It’s Wang Yudong, why don't you pick it up." He didn't know why he knew it, but he just guessed it.

Let me take a closer look at what tone and expression you use when talking to Wang Yudong, so that I can completely give up.

Yan MingXiu glanced at Zhou Xiang but still picked it, “Hey Dong Ge”.

Wang Yudong’s low voice came from the opposite side. “MingXiu, can you talk now?”

Yan Mingxiu looked at Zhou Xiang, Zhou Xiang was also watching him, the room was very small, the night was very quiet, Wang Yudong's voice, Zhou Xiang heard clearly.

Zhou Xiang showed a slightly ironic smile, and the smile was full of sadness.

Yan Mingxiu felt that Zhou Xiang’s smile was extremely glaring. He intended to go into the inner room to talk but now, he didn’t want to move. He looked at Zhou Xiang and said calmly, “Convenient, let’s talk.”

Wang Yudong’s tone sounded very tired. “MingXiu, do you know that I wanted to cooperate with Wang Dao on a new movie?”

"I don't know much about what goes on in your circle."

“to make it brief, after I got engaged with Ming Mei, many people in the circle became jealous, nowadays, I am under more and more pressure. Many people want to see me humiliated. This Wang Dao is a mean madman, he already made things difficult for me after the first movie, for the second one, he wants me to abandon my engagement ceremony to Ming Mei and take part in the shooting of the film news conference briefing. I naturally attach more importance to Ming Mei. As a result, Wang Dao, at an earlier time, used this reason to request that I step down and decided swap me with another person to play my male lead role.”

(T/N: Yudong, if this is your idea of being brief then I really hope you don’t have any more effing ‘brief’ moments)

Yan Mingxiu was upset at this time, and almost did not listen to what Wang Yudong was saying. He only looked at Zhou Xiang’s expression changes. He clearly saw Zhou Xiang’s disdain when he heard Wang Yudong’s words. He was anxious to know what the expression meant. He even felt impatient with Wang Yudong’s phone call for the first time. He said, “Dong Ge, how do you want to handle thus? I can mobilize the best resources that you can use as you please, or you can go looking for my brother, compared to me, he is more familiar with the entertainment industry."

Wang Yudong sighed: “I actually looked for you precisely because I want you to do me a favor.” 

"Me? How can I help you?"

“Do you know who Wang Dao gave my leading role to?”

Yan MingXiu puckered his eyebrows and quickly asked, “Who?”

Wang Yudong took a deep breath, "Zhou Xiang."

Yan Ming was surprised and looked at Zhou Xiang with wide eyes.

Zhou Xiang also fearlessly confronted Yan MingXiu.

He didn’t misjudge him. Wang Yudong as expected, is really a villain with two faces and three knives. Even when telling a lie, he only called to mind his own suppression by people everywhere. Even the person he likes, likes such person, he at once felt qi and blood attack his heart with teeth gnashing hatred.

Yan Mingxiu looked at Zhou Xiang deeply and said softly, "Dong Ge, you explain."

"Zhou Xiang was originally my martial arts substitute. But now Wang Dao wants him to take my place as the male lead. If this comes true, Dong Ge will lose respect. The only person who should not replace me is Zhou Xiang, do you understand? I was replaced by my own substitute; I, Wang Yudong have been mixed in the entertainment industry for so many years, what kind of slanders have I not suffered. Only this kind of insult... Dong Ge really can’t stand it."

Yan Mingxiu looked at Zhou Xiang’s calm expression, and there was a pile of doubts in his heart. 

“Dong Ge, Zhou Xiang has no background. It is easy to change him. Why are you so nervous about this matter?”

Wang Yudong smiled bitterly: "Zhou Xiang really has no background, but Wang Dao strongly recommended him, just to humiliate me. And his boss, also of the surname Wang, is the son of Minister Wang. You have seen this, this Wang Zong is very vague, letting Zhou Xiang decide for himself. Now Mr. Wang is vying for his company's LanXi Rong. LanXi Rong will also participate in this drama. If Zhou Xiang plays the protagonist, their company will monopolize the male lead and second male lead role. I heard today that Zhou Xiang has agreed."

Yan MingXiu’s pupils suddenly contracted, this news of LanXi Rong playing the second main lead firmly caught his heart.

Zhou Xiang wants to act in the same drama with LanXi Rong, Zhou Xiang did not mention fart! (1)

(1.    Not mentioning fart means not saying anything)

Yan MingXiu gritted his teeth and said, “When is this?”

"It will start before Christmas. The day after tomorrow, we will hold a film ceremony and a press conference at xx Hotel. If Zhou Xiang goes, I am a ready-made joke." Wang Yudong sighed: "MingXiu, I know you and Zhou Xiang’s relationship, this time you have to help Dong Ge, you can't let him go."

Yan Mingxiu and Zhou Xiang looked at each other and the air was full of unusual flavors. Yan Ming’s eyes were full of frost; his glare could make a hole in Zhou Xiang’s body.

Yan MingXiu unblinkingly stared at Zhou Xiang, coldly said: “Dong Ge, rest assured, I will not let him go.”

Zhou Xiang suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Wang Yudong breathed a sigh of relief. "MingXiu, thank you. I plan to finish early and go on a vacation with Ming Mei. I will return home tomorrow night to participate in the launching ceremony."

Yan Mingxiu hung up the phone, Zhou Xiang looked at him, his eyes filled with despair, but still firmly said one sentence, "I will definitely go."

Yan Ming showed a cold smiling expression. "You are not going anywhere. If I let you go and film with that little white faced LanXi Rong, I will change my family name."
