You're the Captain, You Call the Shots [Esports]

[Scheming, sharp-tongued, shameless jungler vs. a sweet, bashful ADC who blushes at the slightest flirt]

Gu Yanxi, the strongest player in the qualifiers and hailed as a “genius prodigy,” turned down every high-paying contract and went to join Team Lead as a substitute.

Netizens couldn't understand it, fans had their doubts, and the internet was abuzz with debate. Then the media caught Captain Lu holding him in his arms, and at last everyone understood...

During a game livestream,

Lu Ci saw Gu Yanxi surrounded on all sides and said lazily, “Call me big brother and I'll save you.” Before he could even finish speaking, Gu Yanxi flashed straight into the enemy crowd and died... Lu hadn't even had time to get over there. “Why go over there? If you've got the guts, come into my arms.”

After a long while, a soft, tiny voice came through the headset: “Big brother...”

“Damn it!” Lu Ci shut down the livestream without another word. Gu Yanxi hurriedly called out, “The game isn't over yet!”

Lu Ci asked a question that went straight to the heart of things: “What's more important, the game or me?”

Gu Yanxi fell silent...

After the livestream incident,

Lu Ci's title of “Chosen One” was replaced with “old hand.” He was still smug about it, claiming everyone was just jealous of him, and began showing off their relationship around the clock.

[One-on-one, both romantically inexperienced, sweet romance, no angst, happy ending. The game is Honor of Kings, but you don't need to play it to enjoy the story.]

Content warning:

1. Pure, uncomplicated sweetness. Gu Yanxi falls first, and he joined the esports scene because of Lu Ci.
