Airline captain x air traffic controller
Liang Jinxiao couldn't remember how he had ended up in bed with Shen Zongsheng again.
It was the second day after they'd reconnected, and the third year since he'd fled to Sydney.
The smoke afterward blurred the edges, and the memories faded faster than anything.
Liang Jinxiao took his time tying his robe and asked, "Would you consider making this a long-term arrangement?"
Shen Zongsheng held down his fingertips. "What kind of arrangement?"
"Friends with benefits."
-
In his third year of insisting on flying the China-Australia route, Shen Zongsheng finally got news of his ex-boyfriend.
He lived alone in Sydney and was single.
Shen Zongsheng planned fireworks and a reunion, thinking they could repair everything between them.
But the next morning, his ex-boyfriend, with whom he'd been sharing a tender moment just a minute earlier, smiled and told him he wanted to be friends with benefits.
Shen Zongsheng: .
1. Captain as the top x air traffic controller as the bottom
2. Happy ending, rekindled love
3. Half urban drama, half road trip, more or less a healing story
4. Set in Australia, but most of it is made up
