(High-octane esports + hilarious co-ed dorm antics + secret identities exposed + extreme double standards)
Sweet, well-behaved girl by day vs. cold, abstinent campus heartthrob, but secretly they’re sworn enemies in the Rift who’ve been flaming each other for three months?!
A bizarre System bug forces me and campus heartthrob Jiang Ye to share a co-ed dorm room.
On our first night, he drew the curtain with a cold expression. “Don’t cross the line, and don’t get any funny ideas about me.”
I laughed. “Relax. Men only slow down how fast I can draw my sword.”
By day, we were fake roommates who couldn’t stand each other.
He complained about my mountain of takeout containers, and I told him his terminal case of OCD was incurable.
Then one night, I was tearing up the Rift, raging over voice chat at the enemy jungler, who was so bad he couldn’t even scratch his own feet:
“That all you’ve got? You’re even worse than the useless coward in my dorm who’s scared of cockroaches!”
The moment I finished speaking, the “Berlin Wall” curtain was yanked open.
Jiang Ye stood there holding his phone. The game ID on the screen… belonged to the enemy jungle king I’d just flamed into oblivion.
He approached one step at a time, the corners of his eyes red.
“Lin Chuxia, you’ve been flaming me for three months…”
“So the legendary ‘National Server Marksman Lin Dazhuang’ has been sleeping right across from me?”
Later, Team 404 burst onto the scene and swept the college league.
When a rival streamer openly provoked us during a livestream, “That Lin Dazhuang, got the guts to show your face and 1v1 me?”
Jiang Ye, usually so cool and distant, suddenly snatched the microphone, pulled me into his arms, and announced to the whole internet:
“She’s under my protection.”
“If you want to mess with her, you’ll have to ask whether my Jing agrees.”
#Weren’t esports supposed to have no romance?
#JungleKing, your whole persona just fell apart
