I'm no caged eagle, so I don't fear the long years. I would gladly carry a wisp of spring sunshine and set out for freedom.
*
After hearing a master's words that may or may not have been true, Gu Xi was sent to a faraway village. He didn't care about a life of luxury, but he was afraid of the fields of rapeseed flowers in the countryside.
From the age of ten to twenty-two, over the course of twelve years, he was forced to come here, couldn't bear to leave, and then willingly returned.
He never told anyone that, in those twelve years, he had long forgotten what home was. He only remembered a little boy in the countryside who had been by his side as he grew from a teenager into a young man. He had hidden that boy deep in his heart, etched into his bones. He would stay with him as he grew up, watch him marry and have children, and see him live a happy life.
And he would always watch over him from behind.
But Gu Zhou's arrival shattered the illusion of peace.

"Brother, you were the one who brought me back. Anyone can abandon me, but you can't!"
"Brother, love me. We'll be together forever."
A young man's love, twisted and obsessive. A wrong beginning, a wrong ending.
"Gu Zhou, don't make me regret this."
Don't make me regret bringing you home. Don't make me regret having you as my younger brother.
*
"Brother Gu, I like you."
"Not the way a younger brother likes his older brother. I want us to be intimate."
"I want to kiss you, sleep with you, and be with you forever."
Love gives people courage. When a caged eagle breaks free, the whole world becomes his stage.
