[Male Author + Two Male Leads + Youthful Memories + Slow-Burn Tension + Love Grows Over Time]
During class assignment, the teacher printed two names wrong: "Zhang San, Li Si." The whole class burst into laughter. Putting the two names together made it even funnier.
Zhang San sat in the last row by the wall, daydreaming in class and playing basketball after school. Li Shu sat in the front row by the window, always neat in his uniform and forever near the top of the rankings.
One hated being told what to do; the other followed every rule. Yet somehow, they ended up at the same desk, in the same room.
Zhang San never had a kind word to say, but he never let himself step too far away. He packed all his feelings into jokes, while Li Shu took it all for brotherly loyalty.
Neither of them spoke first, until one day, Li Shu was the one who crossed the line.
"Bro, you've crossed the line."
Zhang San had meant to save those words for scolding him. But when Li Shu reached out, Zhang San didn't pull away.
