Gu Fei was riding his motorcycle toward Liu Fan's house when his phone sounded. He plugged in an earbud and answered the call; Ding Zhuxin's voice resonated from the other end. "Not bad, kid. You're really not showing up?"

"No, I..." Gu Fei then remembered the message Ding Zhuxin had sent a while ago. "Forgot. How about I head over now, where are you?"

"It's okay. It was an informal performance anyways," Ding Zhuxin replied. "I was at WildFire just now, so I called you. I'm out drinking with friends now, a place you definitely won't appear at."

"En," Gu Fei answered.

"I bumped into Xiao Bing and his group at the entrance just now," Ding Zhuxin continued. "Their lead vocalist changed again."

"They didn't ask for you to go back?" Gu Fei said.

"I wouldn't go back even if they asked," Ding Zhuxin laughed. "A tough nut like me."

"You were at your greatest potential when you were together with them," Gu Fei said. "You don't have to compete with them because of me. It's been three years now, right? It's about time to finish it."

"Then, are you 'finished'"? Ding Zhuxin asked.

"I bear grudges. I'll remember this sort of thing for the rest of my life," Gu Fei answered.

"Then, that's alright," Ding Zhuxin said. "I don't bear grudges, I just find it disgusting... oh right, whenever you're free, take some photos for me?"

"Of you?" Gu Fei made a turn and saw Liu Fan walking along the sidewalk with two large bags in his hands. He pressed down on the rear brake and whistled.

"Fuck," Liu Fan turned his head. "I was just about to see which dumbass is brave enough to molest his uncle like this."

"You went to pick them up on foot?" Gu Fei asked.

"They had dropped it off at the intersection." Liu Fan saw him with an earbud in, "You have a call?"

"En, Xin-jie." Gu Fei turned his head slightly with his foot on the ground. "Get on."

Liu Fan straddled onto the seat behind him: "Drive slow, the wind is freezing cold at night."

"Not for me," Ding Zhuxin replied on the other end. "The photographer I hired for my shop went back to his hometown to get married. I'm not sure when he'll be able to come back, and the model I was used to working with also... come and help me with this urgent matter. I have a pile of clothes that haven't been photographed yet."

"En, sure," Gu Fei said. "Do you need me to find a model as well?"

"Yeah, just find a temporary person who we can shoot for these goods. Just don't ask Liu Fan, though he does have a nice figure..." Ding Zhuxin said.

"But not a good face?" Gu Fei laughed.

"He doesn't meet the requirements. The goods that I have this time are quite "badass", and Liu Fan looks too honest. He's like an old gangster, not a bad boy," Ding Zhuxin said. "Do you have anyone suitable in mind? Time is tight, so I'm paying much more than usual."

Bad boy?

"I'll look around," Gu Fei answered. When Ding Zhuxin said 'bad boy', Jiang Cheng's face flashed before his eyes for some unknown reason.

Of all the people he was acquainted with, very few of them were not "bad". But for some reason, if it was the term "bad boy", only Jiang Cheng was the most fitting.
