Chapter 1: Are you sick?

  "Let go, T'ang Ch'ung!"

  "Let go of Ah Ken."

  Bai Su and He Ben exclaimed in unison, worried that Tang Zhong would twist Ah Ken's neck in a fit of rage.

  In their eyes, people who come out of prison can do anything.

  Tang Zhong didn't let go, but instead lifted Aken's slender body to his face and said: "Remember a few things. First, don't call me Xiao Xin Xin, call me Tang Zhong."

  "Secondly, stop touching me all over."

  "Third - you dare say kiss me again, I'll directly break your neck."

  Tang's heavy hand came down, and Ah Ken fell flat on his butt onto the ground.

  Bai Su quickly ran over to support Ah Ken, anxiously asking: "Ah Ken, are you okay? Does it hurt? Are you injured? Feel a bit... see if there's anywhere uncomfortable?"

  Hepburn was also very concerned about Arken, she pulled Arken's arm from the other side and said: "Arken, I was really scared to death just now. I thought he was going to break your neck-----Do you know how fierce he is? Yesterday, he even used a big mouse to scare me and Huiying sister. Actually, we don't like him at all, but Bai Yi insists that we live with him. Arken, do you understand our suffering now? Our lives are as dull as years, dark and dismal, miserable and painful."

  Bai Su is really quite helpless. This He Ben doesn't have too many shortcomings, the only - no, the two flaws are 'talking too much' and 'showing off'. If she could just get along with Hui Yin, it would be better.

  Ah Ken's delicate face scrunched up in a ball, his expression pained as he rubbed his buttocks. Apparently, Tang Zhong's 'pinch' hadn't caused him any harm, but that one fall had left him quite shaken.

  "Ow, I'm dying. My little butt is going to be split into several pieces." Ah Ken groaned.

  His gaze turned to Tang Chong, his face was filled with charm again, and he smiled and said: "However, I just like this kind of man. Overbearing, direct, powerful ----- Ah, look at the muscles on him."

  He wanted to reach out and touch Tang Zhong's chest, but was glared at by Tang Zhong and quickly withdrew his hand.

  "Be careful." Bai Su hastily advised.

  Ah Ken is their company's ace stylist, known in the circle as the 'magician'. Normally, he only takes care of top-notch celebrities, but this time, due to Tang Xin's situation, he was assigned by his boss to take charge of Butterfly's image design to avoid too many people knowing.

  If Tang Zhong thoroughly offended him and Ah Ken walked away with a flick of his hand, where would they find another stylist as good as that again?

  "It's okay. It's okay. I'm not blaming him." Ah Ken said, covering his own chest. "He's a good guy. I like him."

  Bai Su and He Ben looked at each other, both of them speechless.

  Is this guy a masochist or something? Tang Zhong's brutal violence just happened to fill the void in his heart.

  At this thought, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

  "Hand him over to me," Ah Ken said to Bai Su. "An hour later, you come upstairs to check the goods."

  After finishing speaking, he carried a big bag and went upstairs first.

  Bai Su pushed Tang Chong's back, and Tang Chong had no choice but to follow the demon man up the stairs.

  "Hebun stared at the two people's backs with her big round eyes and whispered: "Bai Yi, they won't be doing anything upstairs, will they?""

  Bai Su knocked on her forehead and said, "Even if Ah Ken wants to do something, he can't succeed ----- but if Tang Chong wants to do something to Ah Ken, it will be 100% successful."

  "White aunt, you are so rotten." Heben said with a chuckle.

  "You're the one who's rotten." Bai Su scolded with a smile. "If men don't have fun, life is not interesting."

  Then, the two women burst out laughing together.

  An hour later, Ah Ken appeared on the second floor staircase and beckoned to them.

  "Aken, did you succeed?" asked Ba Su excitedly.

  "Come and inspect the goods." Ah Ken said with a pleased expression.

  "Go and take a look," said Bai Su.

  "I'm going too." Herb said, pausing Plants vs. Zombies on his laptop and jumping up from the couch.

  "I'm not going." Lin Huiyun said without lifting her head, holding a magazine in her hands.

  Bai Su pulled Lin Huiyin up from the sofa and said, "Huiyin, go take a look. He's your teammate after all. You don't want any problems to arise when you're working together in the future, do you? Go take a look and help him out a bit too. If there are any issues, bring them up on the spot. That way, we can avoid any embarrassment later on."

  Lin Huiyin originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that she still had to find a reason for refusing and say a few more words, she simply followed him to take a look.

  Ah Ken stood at the entrance of the 'styling room', smiling and saying: "Dear sisters, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived ----- Dang Dang Dang Dang."

  As the music sounded in his mouth, he suddenly pushed open the door of the room.

  Then, the eyes of the three women suddenly went straight.

  Handsome guy!

  What an absolutely gorgeous guy!

  Black tight leather pants, black deep tube leather boots, the upper body is a white tight T-shirt, and outside the T-shirt is a slightly loose bat shirt. Around his neck was also wrapped in a black scarf, loosely draped, which was specially dressed to cover Tang's "airport" on his chest.

  Tang Zhong's messy hair was carefully trimmed by Ah Ken into long, layered locks, with slender eyebrows and delicate skin. Paired with Tang Zhong's originally somewhat feminine face, he looked exactly like a refined young nobleman.

  "How handsome!" Herbert exclaimed exaggeratedly.

  Lin Huiyun's eyes flashed with a hint of spirit, then lowered her head as if lost in thought.

  Bai Su's face first showed surprise, but soon she became worried again.

  She walked to Tang Chong's side and examined him carefully, then said to Ah Ken: "Ah Ken, didn't you make a mistake? We are a female group - isn't Tang Chong's image too masculine?"

  "Ah, I knew you'd say that!" Ah Ken said with a sweet smile. "Before, I thought the same as you, to weaken Tang Zhong's 'tough' side and make his overall image match with the Butterfly Girls group... but after I cut his hair, I gave up on my original idea."

  "What's wrong with a girl group? Can't a girl group have a tough side? I was there when the entertainment company was creating these three little butterflies - Tang Xin is the leader, she represents the black butterfly which symbolizes courage. Hui Yin is in charge of the high notes, she represents the white butterfly which symbolizes confidence. Ben Ben is the flower butterfly, she represents love --- We tried to make Tang Xin go for a neutral style before, but it wasn't successful. Because she's a woman, and a very, very feminine woman."

  A Ken walked over and patted Tang Zhong's shoulder, Tang Zhong's body flinched, but in the end he didn't slap him. This level of contact was still acceptable to him.

  "Tang Zhong is different. He's a man, a pure and genuine man. Having him walk the middle path of neutrality is the most fitting thing-----look at this expression, look at this figure, and then look at this face, is there anyone better than him in this world? Ah, if I were a woman, I would like a man like this. If I were a man, I would like a woman like this. He can conquer both men and women."

  "I understand what you mean," Bai Su nodded. "But if we do it this way, won't people see through the cracks?"

  "Flaw? Is there one?" Ah Ken glanced at Su and said: "I'm doing this to cover up any possible flaws. If he appears as a woman, there may be many flaws. The tone of voice, the way of walking, even the action of eating, the degree of drinking... But if he gives people such an impression from the beginning, showing such a 'masculine' image, then even if some flaw appears later, everyone will only think it's natural or they'll think it's 'intentionally created' --- Su, don't you think so?"

  "But Tang Xin used to-"

  "I know. I know." Ah Ken interrupted Ba Su's words, saying: "You're trying to say that Xiaoxin didn't used to dress like this before, right? But who says artists can't change their image?"

  Seeing Bai Su still hesitating, Ah Ken stepped forward and held her small hand, saying: "Su Su, you have to believe me. You have to trust my professionalism. I'm a professional. I have a premonition that they will be popular. They will get more and more popular. They will be so hot that it's explosive."

  "Alright, then."

  Then she turned around and looked at Tang Chong, asking: "Tang Chong, what do you think? If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up."

  Tang Chong kept looking in the mirror, left and right, then turned around and looked at his back again.

  Looks good from the front, looks good from the back. Looks good from the left side, looks good from the right side. Looks good from top to bottom.

  "There's nothing to think about." Tang Chong said with a smile. The reason he was unwilling to agree earlier was that he was worried that these people would make him wear skirts, underwear and sanitary napkins, but now they didn't even mention it, and the big stone in his heart had finally fallen. "I knew I looked good before, but I didn't think I could look this good."

  "Her neck." Heben pointed at Tang Chong's neck and said, "There is an Adam's apple."

  "Alright." Ah Ken flirtatiously turned around, took out a black silk scarf from the big black bag he brought with him and said: "Use this to tie it up, it'll cover it."

  "Like a little dog on a chain." Hepburn chuckled.

  Tang Zhong said with a dark expression, "If I wear it alone, outsiders will be suspicious. If the three of us wear it together, no one will have such thoughts, right? They'll think it's our new image design as the Butterfly Trio."

  "That's right." Ah Ken nodded repeatedly. "We're careful-----Tang Zhong is clever. I've prepared a white one for Hui, and a grid-patterned one for Benben----the three of us will wear them together, and no one will suspect anything. Let's just say it's the symbol of our Butterfly Trio. Ah, great. These three colors are your birth butterfly, aren't they?"

  Heben's eyes widened and her small mouth opened, but she didn't know what to say.

  Are they also going to wear those little dog collars with him?
