Hearing You Say You Like Me in the Game

Everyone at Hengyang No. 1 High School knows Lu Zhao is a distant flower on a high peak, whether you’re talking about his looks or his grades. Lin Xi, also at No. 1 High, is every bit as proud. Everyone thinks Lin Xi loves Lu Zhao but can’t have him. At the school’s graduation ceremony, Lin Xi confesses to Lu Zhao, but he remains unmoved, acting as if it means nothing. He tells Lin Xi, “I still want to focus on my studies for now.”

---- Jiang Che has always thought his high school deskmate was a proud girl, but as he spends time with her, he discovers a side of her no one else knows and falls for her. Lin Xi, however, remains absorbed in pursuing Lu Zhao, leaving Jiang Che heartbroken. He turns to a career in esports. Only after a long time does Lin Xi realize how good Jiang Che is, and start pursuing him herself.

(The early story takes place at school. The heroine interacts with the male lead, but never responds to his feelings, so he loses hope and goes pro. The middle focuses mostly on Jiang Che’s life in professional esports. The heroine eventually realizes how good he is, pursues him, and actively studies esports. The later story is very sweet, with the leads working hard together on the pro circuit. I’ll be with you all the way to the top of the world! The game in this novel is based on League of Legends.)
