Summary:
Meng Yao glances out at the passing green fields, trees a blur as they move past them. "A band needs talent but it also needs wide appeal. A band is built around basic archetypes, and you fit that very well."
Wei Ying scrabbles through the pile of plastic packets and empty wrappers on the seat beside him. He finds an unopened bag of peanuts and holds them up triumphantly. "A band needs to fit into Teen Vogue. The bad boy, the fun guy, the baby. The soulful, artistic one. The boring, good one."
"I'm not boring," Jin Zixuan says sulkily. It honestly proves Wei Ying's point.
This is Chapter 1. I might post another announcement when the whole thing is done -- I'm planning on posting every couple of days.
