“Little Sweet Bun” is Lin Xiaotang’s game ID, and the reason the aloof senior Ji Chen took notice of her on her very first day at school.
When Ji Chen heard that name at the freshman registration desk, his icy expression cracked for the first time. He stared at the cute girl in front of him, clutching a game console and looking utterly bewildered, his thoughts in turmoil: Was she the “Little Biscuit” who always teamed up with him in-game, played brilliantly, and never said a word?
Lin Xiaotang, meanwhile, was simply baffled. Why did the legendary, untouchable student council president keep looking at her with such a complicated expression? Stranger still, he always seemed to “happen” to show up whenever she needed help. No seats in the library? Senior Ji was “just about to leave.” The cafeteria line was too long? Senior Ji had “just happened” to order an extra meal. Even when she was on a losing streak in-game, she would “randomly” get matched with a powerhouse player called “Chen” who carried her to victory.
Then one day, Lin Xiaotang stumbled across a chat between her brother and his roommate: “Old Ji, why do you keep going to the freshman girls’ dorm lately?” “...Her game ID is Little Sweet Bun.” “So?” “My game ID is Chen. She should know it’s me.”
It turned out every “coincidence” had been part of someone’s long-laid plan. And when the campus esports tournament arrived and Ji Chen was forced to reveal his game ID, Lin Xiaotang finally realized that this aloof senior had been secretly spoiling her in-game for an entire semester.
