When Xu Qingwei was sixteen, she picked up an "academic paper" written for her in the corridor - someone anonymously posted on the forum and used rigorous logic to prove that she and her brother were not in a relationship as rumored.
The star pendant that came with it became the most tender mystery in her youth.
She didn't know that the young man named Lin Yu was silently mapping her trajectory in his own way of understanding the world:
The pendant she broke was repaired by him who stayed up late at night; the physics test paper she failed became a detailed explanation of three solutions in his writing; the taro custard she mentioned casually always appeared on time in the evening when she was depressed.
His love has no voice, but moves like stars, with its own laws.
From the starlight hairpin they first met in the corridor, to the proposal in the 365 hand-folded stars; from the clumsy defense in the campus forum, to the aurora shared on the Antarctic ice sheet; from the strawberries on the balcony of the two people, to the official wedding ring received by the daughter under the cherry blossom tree...
The years are long, but love is eternal.
This is a story about hiding tenderness in the stars and slowly unpacking it over a lifetime.
——I can calculate the age of the universe, but I cannot calculate the moment from which loving you became my instinct.

Intent: A story about a science god who uses the clumsiest physical method to realize his secret love and protects this tenderness throughout his life.
