Entwined Branches

There are three flights a day from P City to S City: one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening. Rong Fei is on the middle flight.

He gets a little airsick. For the first time, ten thousand meters above the ground, he doesn't take motion sickness pills or close his eyes to pass the time. Instead, he stares blankly at the brilliant blue sky and white clouds outside the window, wishing the plane would keep flying forever, never touching down.

He's going to Xiulin's wedding.

Xiulin is his older brother, though they aren't related by blood, and the person he's loved for many years.

What he doesn't know is that the entire wedding is a performance staged for everyone else.

Content warnings:

Faux incest, a bittersweet push and pull, melodrama, the bottom is getting married for show.

Theme: The seed one person sows grows into fruit in someone else's hands.
