    Summary

    Follows ‘Heaven’ with a small leap: They’ve faked their death and are on the run, more or less, across the North-Western desert. They take shelter at an inn.

    Oblique intimacy between men. Zang Hai x Zhixing, for a whole raft of reasons, but mainly seniority, their existing relationship, and the context in which they live. Physical closeness growing from slowly evolving feelings on a hard-won foundation of mutual respect. A love as cool and deep as the ocean in Zang Hai’s name, and as consuming as liquid fire in Zhixing’s case. I feel this suits their characters.

    No technicalities. No four-letter slang because there are better words to describe affection and intimacy. Tough, restrained tenderness but no fluff.
