Chapter 69 - Asking About the Accident (1/2)

ZhouXiang slept for more than ten hours. When he woke up, the sun was soon to set.

It’s not that he had enough sleep but he woke up mainly needing to pee. He shook his throbbing head and got down from the bed. Once his foot landed on the ground, his legs went soft. If it wasn’t for his hands holding the bed supporting him, he would have definitely fallen to the ground.

The aching pain in a specific lower area of his body embarrassingly reminded him of what happened last night.

With much difficulty, ZhouXiang propped up his body and wobbled to the bathroom, and cleaned himself thoroughly.

The house is very quiet. YanMingXiu had left at some time ago. ZhouXiang got dressed and walked out of the room holding his waist. Looking at the clock, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

He suddenly remembered that he should call ChenYing.

He dialed her phone. At this time, ChenYing is doing dialysis at the hospital. Immediately after picking up the call, she complained, “How could you just be calling now? I’ve called you several times this morning. I know that your work is busy but you should have the time to pick up a phone call right? Mom would worry.”

ZhouXiang remorsefully apologized, “I’ll for sure call you ahead of time if I’m not coming home in the future.”

“Then are you coming back today?”

“Today…” ZhouXiang is momentarily astounded. Should he ask YanMingXiu first? This big boss obviously needs him to be available at all times. He thought about it. “If I don’t have anything to do tonight, I’ll definitely be back.”

His answer is the equivalent to not saying anything. ChenYing ended the call disappointedly.

After ZhouXiang hung up the phone, he felt hungry so he made a bowl of noodles for himself and ate it in the empty room.

Although he was drunk last night, he could actually still remember many details. It’s just that YanMingXiu’s somewhat brutal actions made him feel very unfamiliar. He seemed to have been able to feel the despair vented from YanMingXiu’s body, this feeling affecting him inch by inch, making him fall into a kind of inexplicable madness.

YanMingXiu really has changed a lot. But hasn’t he also? Time…can really change a person completely.

Even after he finished eating, YanMingXiu still hasn’t called. ZhouXiang didn’t think that there would be anything going on today so he got dressed and returned home. After going home, he accompanied ChenYing for a while. Then he went into the room to rest. He still had a hangover. His head is throbbing. Since he didn’t have to do any filming today, he must get a good rest.

Not long after lay down, his cell phone rang. At first glance it was a strange number. He hesitated before connecting the call.

A strange voice sounded, “Hello, is this ZhouXiang?”

ZhouXiang pondered a bit. It seems to be TanYin. He pretended to not hear him since he didn’t want to have any association with this man, “That’s me, may I ask who this is?”

The phone on the other line suddenly paused and then made a dissatisfactory ‘squeaky’ sound, “You really can’t tell? Or you’re being deliberate?”

ZhouXiang didn’t say anything even though he was a bit impatient.

TanYin felt that it was no fun and helplessly responded, “It’s me TanYin.”

“Oh, hello.”

TanYin awkwardly responded, “We’re hanging out. Why don’t you come join us? Ah Wu and Xiao Cai are here.”

“I don’t know these people.”

“You know them before.”

“I don’t know them now.”

“What’s wrong with coming out to get to know them then?” TanYin is a bit displeased, “Come out, everyone wants to see you.”

ZhouXiang said with patience, “Xiao Tan, I still have to go to the set tomorrow. I’m very tired today. I need to rest. The people that you mentioned, I really don’t know them. If they really wanted to see me, I believe that the two years that I was in the hospital, it wouldn’t have been that nobody came to see me. I don’t see what the point is now.”

With these words, TanYin’s face changed. The former gentle and even somewhat weak ZhouXiang might really have disappeared. That person will never scold him indirectly like this.

ZhouXiang responded, “Let’s just leave it at that. You guys enjoy yourselves, bye bye.” After saying that, he resolutely hung up.

He can imagine TanYin being so furious that his head is about to explode. This can also be said as helping the original owner of this body and ChenYing vent out a little of their resentment. Although he does not know much, his intuition tells him that this TanYin is an arrogant and pompous person with questionable personality. He definitely gave a lot of pains to the owner of this body.

Even though ZhouXiang likes beautiful boys, he likes those that are a bit adorable. It’s fine if they are a bit scheming but overly extreme in that regards is detestable.

With his mind heavily in thoughts, ZhouXiang unknowingly fell asleep.

When he got to the set the next day, both YanMingXiu and WangYuDong didn’t come, but TanYin had arrived early. When he saw ZhouXiang, he glared at him fiercely.

ZhouXiang pretended not to see him and went to get dressed to shoot his scenes. It wasn’t until three in the afternoon that the day’s work ended.

When he packed up ready to leave, the planning coordinator gave him a piece of paper.

ZhouXiang glanced at it. It is the schedule for next month’s filming location. He is surprised, “Already leaving next week?”

The planning coordinator responded, “Yeah, the itinerary is a bit tight, because we want to get it out in time for summer break next year so we have to head to the mountains before it starts to snow.”

“I see that my scenes aren’t starting till the 4th, can I go there a few days later?”

“Why?”

“My mom’s health is not good. It’s not convenient for me to out for too long.”
