Esports: We Were Never Destined to Meet, So I Spent Big to Make It Happen

[Esports + ABO + Two Male Leads + Entertainment Industry + 1v1, Both Pure + Sweet Romance + Secret Crush] A [Si Jiahang], a rich, bad-boy flirt with a sharp tongue and a knack for playing innocent, X O [Lan Chengyu], a mature, steady, slow-witted poor guy Lan Chengyu, a top-laner discarded by the Jingyao pro league. Si Jiahang, a rich second-generation heir from the capital and Jingyao’s top mid-laner. One day, the two meet while livestreaming. Si Jiahang, playing on his top-ranked account, goes 11-1-1 but still loses. After seeing the top-laner’s 3.8 rating, he ponders for a long time, then adds him as a friend. The other player accepts the request and instinctively types, “?” Three lines from Si Jiahang send the livestream trending. Si Jiahang: You’re way too bad at this. Si Jiahang: You go first. Si Jiahang: I’ll queue later. I don’t want to run into you again. The livestream chat goes wild with laughter, saying: As expected of RCK.Hang, the sharp-tongued mid-laner. I Don’t Like Strawberries: Okay, I’ll go first. As soon as he sends that message, he’s already queued up. Si Jiahang opens spectator mode and discovers that the noob from last game is carrying the whole team this time. Suddenly, he’s intrigued. He invites the player to game, but gets rejected. The other player says he’s a substitute and then logs off. He’s been ignored. How can he put up with that? He chases after the account owner to ask who the substitute is. The account owner: NTN pro top-laner Lan Chengyu.
