Side A: It's easy to get on a criminal ship but hard to get off

When Jiang Xiao Ning was done with his nightly self-studying session, he went straight to 'Ge An.'[1]His eyes swept across the room, and having seen no one that caught his eyes, he went in front of the bar and ordered a drink.

The bartender for today was Nick[2]who looked at him from under his thick eyeliner and greeted him, "How come I haven't seen you lately?"

"Had a bit of things to do." Jiang Xiao Ning then embarrassingly elaborated on how he had to prepare for his monthly examination.

Nick placed the drink he wanted on the counter, looked left and right, and whispered, "Someone came here asking about you two days ago."

"Who?"

"Han Laoban."[3]Nick wore a strange smile as he slowly said those three words.

Jiang Xiao Ning thought that name sounded familiar, as if he heard someone mentioning it before. As he looked at the bright light emitting from Nick's eyes, he suddenly blinked and asked, "Who is Han Laoban?"

Nick pulled back a bit, looked at him in disbelief, and accusingly yelled: "Don't you know Han Laoban? It's Han Laoban from Jin Ting!"

"You should've said Jin Ting earlier." Jiang Xiao Ning muttered, disgruntled.

Occasionally, people in the circle would bring up Jin Ting, saying that it was a legal high-class prostitution place where a large number of well-education and handsome men and women gathered to discuss and handle high-profile business transactions. Also, that so-called Han Laoban was not the 'Laoban' of any business, but rather, he was a high-ranking prostitute procurer.

"What is he asking about me for?" Jiang Xiao Ning sipped his drunk and asked a bit confused.

"How are you not excited at all?" Nick's eyes widened, "Him asking about you obviously means that he wants to draw you in to become a member!"

"Become a member? A member of what?"

Nick rolled his eyes, "Of course it's to let you enter Jin Ting to do that, idiot." He said enviously, "Little bastard, you've really reached heaven in a single bound![4]If you stay here, you can only stay an MB[5]but if you're in Jin Ting, you're a high-class 'escort'. Tsk, so annoying."

"I don't want to go there." Jiang Xiao Ning laughed mockingly.

He was telling the truth.

Although he had a delicate and pretty baby face, his manner of speech was very scholarly and generous-and when he said that he was a university student, people rarely questioned him. In fact, he was still a second-year high school student who became an MB at this gay bar out of pure accident.

Six months ago, he began to vaguely feel that his own sexuality was different from the masses. After being confused and at a loss for a short period of time, he found Ge An's address on the internet. The first day he came here, he put on a tough and courageous front and spent the night with someone that was pleasing to his eyes. When he woke up the next day, he didn't expect that the person was gone and at the side of his pillow was a stack of money. Not only had he experienced and enjoyed the beauty of sex, but he consequently secure a mean of income. Jiang Xiao Ning took that as a game and started his career as an MB.

He was young but saw things clearly. That kind of thing could be played with during leisure time and be considered as saving a bit of money, but to actually take it as a profession, he would have even less of a chance to get home.
