The early chapters are more slice-of-life and slow-paced. If this story finds its way to you, I hope you'll give it a chance and read to the end.
[Two male leads + pure love + school life + sweet romance + mutual devotion + straightforward affection + loyalty + both leads are pure and devoted]
[A clingy seme who seems rebellious but longs for warmth vs. a gentle, top-scoring uke who seems strong but still believes in fairy tales]
He is Xiang Yuan, a rebellious rich kid who climbs over walls to escape his family's control. He is Jing Yang, a gentle top student trapped in a quagmire who still believes in fairy tales.
They should have been at each other's throats, but in the winds of a small county town, they became each other's light.
Jing Yang always hoped for a Peace Star from The Metal Hero B-Robo Kabutack. He would wish for his father to come home, his little sister to be safe, his mother to have an easier life, all the bad people to disappear, and for them to run away to Beijing together.
But he knew there was no such thing as a Peace Star in this world. Then Xiang Yuan, his face covered in wounds after breaking free from his family's control at all costs, gave him a Peace Star necklace he had made with his own hands and told him, “There is a Peace Star in this world, and it belongs only to you.”
Jing Yang was suddenly dazed. Maybe everything he hoped for really could come true. They promised to head for distant horizons together, but time's current was too fierce and fast. Their rebellion was no more than a splash in the surging waves...
The two boys stood together, but they could not stop his stepfather's fists, his mother's leap from a building, or the seven years of separation that followed.
When they reunited seven years later, Jing Yang was burdened by illness, while Xiang Yuan carried a past full of scars. They fought to love each other in the little time they had, but even the Peace Star could not make them stay together for the rest of their lives.
Ten years passed in a flash, like a dream of flowers reflected in water, beautiful but empty.
May time soften into spring water, and may you always cherish one another...
It's a sweet and sour youth novel, with delicate descriptions and three-dimensional characters. It's a very interesting half novel, but I don't want it to be a tragedy.
The author's writing is good! It's sour and sweet, both of them are each other's light 😢😢😢
