Love Songs for a Bad Person

Zou Fang took a liking to someone. He gave Meng Nian food, drink, and money, but couldn't get more than a few smiles out of him.

But there was nothing for it. He wanted to date Meng Nian.

A few little "tricks" were enough to keep him around. Worked out nicely.

Then Zou Fang's family fell on hard times, and he suddenly realized:

Wait, is there any other sugar daddy in the world as hard done by as me?

Zou Fang: "Bye. I'm done playing with you."

Meng Nian: "You come and go as you please. What am I, your dog?"

Zou Fang didn't expect them to part on good terms, but teasing Meng Nian was still kind of fun. "Woof."

Meng Nian: "Get lost."

Zou Fang left. Meng Nian didn't stop him.

He couldn't love him, and he couldn't bring himself to hate him. He was just genuinely annoyed.

One day, a show approached them: "Would you be willing to spend a week with your ex?"

Neither Meng Nian nor Zou Fang knew if what they had counted as a relationship.

It didn't matter. As long as they could get under each other's skin...

"I'm in."

Versatile roles, short story. The title was inspired by The Wanderer's Love Song with Gojo's accent, but the story has little to do with the song or its singer.
