The Star-Listening Years of Youth

[Straightforward Physics Whiz × Cool-Headed Top Student. Male Leads / Campus Meeting / 1v1 / Slow Burn] The two protagonists are original characters in a boys’ love campus novel. I haven’t decided what happens later, so feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. The romance is a slow burn. Thanks for reading.

Cheng Xingran: The male lead, a physics genius who is seriously weak in his other subjects. Resilient but lacking in confidence, he is willing to carve a path through the ice of winter so he can stand beside the light in his heart.

Xu Tinglan: A cool, aloof academic prodigy, ranked first in his year. Though he seems distant, he is remarkably observant. He silently watches Cheng Xingran struggle and offers him a “step up” at crucial moments.

Jiang Chi: Cheng Xingran’s best friend and the second-ranked student in their year, as well as the group’s “muscle.” He seems carefree and boisterous, but is in fact the strongest support and mediator between the two.
