Stars run to him

Lin Yuxing is a frugal freshman in the Information Science Department at C University, known for his modest lifestyle and part-time delivery work to support his adopted family. He lives in an Omega dormitory, where he navigates the social dynamics of a university divided by gender and pheromone types. His routine is disrupted when he accepts a delivery order to bring a bouquet of roses to Gu Zhongyi, the university’s most prominent Alpha and school hunk, who is known for his cold demeanor and wealthy background. Lin Yuxing, unaware of the true nature of the order, delivers the flowers to the basketball court, where Gu Zhongyi accepts them with a rare smile, misinterpreted by onlookers as a romantic confession.

The incident quickly spirals out of control when a post appears on the campus gossip forum, claiming that Lin Yuxing successfully confessed to Gu Zhongyi. The post goes viral, attracting both mockery and speculation from the student body. Lin Yuxing is distressed by the false narrative, as he is unaware of Gu Zhongyi’s true feelings and is acutely conscious of their social disparity. He attempts to clear his name by messaging the poster and explaining the situation to his classmates, but the rumors persist, affecting his part-time work as students avoid ordering from him due to fear of offending Gu Zhongyi’s circle.

Gu Zhongyi, intrigued by the situation and possibly by Lin Yuxing himself, seeks him out after class. He invites Lin Yuxing to lunch, during which he expresses gratitude for the flowers, further fueling the rumors. Lin Yuxing, misunderstanding Gu Zhongyi’s intentions and fearing further complications, clarifies that he did not send the flowers and is not interested in a relationship. This rejection leaves Gu Zhongyi visibly disappointed, though he maintains his composure. Meanwhile, Lin Yuxing faces harassment from Xu Xiangchi, an Alpha from the Art Department who had previously been rejected by him and now pursues him aggressively as part of a bet with his friends.

Amidst the growing chaos, Lin Yuxing connects with an anonymous forum user, ID789, who initially posted the blessing thread. After a series of messages, ID789 deletes the post and offers to be friends, though Lin Yuxing remains unaware of their true identity. The situation worsens when Lin Yuxing receives a call from his uncle, who demands money and insults him, reminding Lin Yuxing of his difficult home life and the pressure he faces to support his family. Despite these challenges, Lin Yuxing secures a part-time job at a local bakery, finding some stability in his routine.

As the semester progresses, Gu Zhongyi continues to observe Lin Yuxing from a distance, his interest piqued by the Omega’s resilience and kindness. The narrative sets the stage for a complex relationship between the two, marked by misunderstandings, social barriers, and the lingering effects of campus gossip. Lin Yuxing’s primary concern remains his academic and financial stability, while Gu Zhongyi navigates his own family expectations and growing attraction to Lin Yuxing. The story explores themes of class disparity, identity, and the impact of public perception on personal relationships, with both characters at a crossroads in their respective journeys.
