1. Not written for top fans; no real-life references.
2. Gentle, scheming green-tea top x an arrogant but easygoing bottom.
3. Xie Qingheng falls in love at first sight.
4. The characters' designs, such as their hair colors and styles, were made for my original characters, so I followed those designs.
This is also my first time writing, and I'm still practicing and learning, so it might not be very good. ●^●

On the stage of the professional league for The Summit League, two top teams face off: the fierce Eclipse and the tough, sharp Fate. In that match, Xie Qingheng, with his black hair and black eyes, completely crushed the opposition with his elusive jungling. For the first time, Fate's genius mid-laner Chu Yanche experienced what it was like to be thoroughly outclassed.
Sitting in front of his computer, the light-blue-haired boy watched the crystal shatter on screen. He never expected that his opponent, cold as ice on the battlefield, would take his hand after the match and gently comfort him. "Your mechanics are great. You were just unlucky."
What surprised Chu Yanche even more was how frequently Xie Qingheng began appearing in his life: a perfectly timed cup of milk tea, an invitation to go over strategies late at night, and one perfectly synchronized duo game after another. Xie Qingheng's tenderness was like a fine net, silently drawing Chu Yanche in. He remembered every one of Chu Yanche's play habits, noticed every subtle shift in his mood, and even risked himself without hesitation to save him when he needed it.
"Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you're a worthy opponent and a teammate with a lot of potential."
The answer was so tactful that no one could find fault with it, but Chu Yanche still felt that something was off. Why was the opponent who had crushed him in every way paying so much attention to him? Why was the person he should keep at a distance becoming someone he cared about more and more?
Xie Qingheng only smiled, watching the light-blue-haired boy step by step into the gentle trap he'd carefully woven. A glimmer flashed deep in his dark eyes, so faint it was almost impossible to notice. This match had never been confined to the battlefield.
"Don't flirt while ganking!" But no one said you couldn't walk out of the canyon and into the rest of your life with the person who took a deadly hit for you.
