Whenever a magazine cover featured two people, especially if it was two men, they desired a special distinction between the two people.
For example, if one of them looked arrogant and reserved; the other would be warm and mild.
Xiao Nian objected when Pei Zhen sneered at him earlier on. "… Did you really think Fu Sichen would take on the weaker role?"
Pei Zhen kept quiet.
Oh. They were talking about the cover shoot.
He was just taking a flight of fantasy, focusing his thoughts on other things.
"Of course he'd take the weaker role." Daddy Pei was full of himself and had obviously given it thought. "I'm too aggressive."
Having experienced Fu Sichen's cruelty and being forced into a new universe, Pei Zhen had learned a thing or two about gay love. At least, he knew that there was a more manly, or aggressive party.
He was so dashing, so there was no way he'd be the submissive party.
