Jiang Cheng felt that he had quite the skill to be able to pick such an inexplicable outfit without much thought.

The outfit itself was pretty good-looking if you ignored the jacket: slim-fitted pants and a loose black T-shirt, and although it was also that of knitted material, at the very least it was the kind that wouldn't lure the masses to gape at when worn outside.

But as soon as he put this jacket on, he froze and looked back at Gu Fei. "Hey, are you sure I didn't get the wrong clothes?"

"Yeah." Gu Fei was still looking at him from behind the camera. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, but don't you think that this looks like a knitted version of the one from the Matrix? No, no, isn't it more like a missionary style if I wrap a woven rope around my waist?" Jiang Cheng pulled up the clothes and said in a small voice, "Is there a mirror? I feel like a Master of the Law......"[1]

Gu Fei didn't respond and only laughed and pointed at the back wall.

This jacket was quite long, enough to reach all the way down to his calf, and the material was relatively thin and soft, giving off a loose-fitting appearance when worn. It was the legendary lax and casual style. However, if it was worn outside by a shorter and skinnier person, they would certainly be caught and taken back to the Qingshan mental hospital[12].

"This requires the right face, body, height, and presence," Ding Zhuxin said, leaning against the door. "You have a better vibe when you wear this than Da Fei. If he wore it, he would only look like a delinquent."

"Oh, even if he doesn't wear this, he's essentially a delinquent." Jiang Cheng stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. It was actually... okay. Even though he would never buy these kinds of clothes, he wasn't picking for himself at the moment. "Whoever the designer for this is, I have to give them a smile."

"It's me," Ding Zhuxin said.

"... huh?" Jiang Cheng froze and looked over to see Ding Zhuxin's expression of "I know what you're thinking", the familiar feeling of embarrassment suddenly sprung up unbidden, rising steeply from the ground. And, when he followed her into the small room, his limbs were moving a bit ipsilaterally.[2]

When Ding Zhuxin applied makeup on his face, Gu Fei was switching on all the light sources on the photography set.

"Don't worry, just casually move around." Ding Zhuxin said as she swept the brush on his face a few times, "All done."

Jiang Cheng stood on the spot where the photo was to be taken as she instructed. The set itself was actually pretty cool but he didn't know what to do after he got on it.

"Let's take a few steps back and forth." Gu Fei aimed the camera toward him, "Just move from left to right and then right to left."

"En," Jiang Cheng nodded and turned to the side. As soon as he moved, and the camera in Gu Fei's hands clicked, he could not help but turn his head. "You took a shot already? I feel like I walked weirdly[3] just now."

"Just walk, and don't worry about whether or not I've taken a shot." Gu Fei clicking the shutter again.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath then walked from left to right.

With the area where the photography set was placed being only a few square meters, getting to the end didn't take that many steps. He turned around and walked back from right to left.

"Lower your head as you walk," Gu Fei said while clicking. "Go a bit faster, with larger strides."

Jiang Cheng lowered his head slightly and walked across once more.
