Photographer x Esports Player

When Xu Lian first met Soder, he wasn't Dexter, confidently making plays onstage.

He was just a blue-haired boy, dejected after losing a match.

But for her sake, he hid his vulnerability and put on the confidence and swagger of old, telling Xu Lian, "Take my picture. I guarantee it'll go viral. Believe me?"

To her surprise, he was right. Those photos brought Xu Lian a huge amount of attention.

She thought she still had time to slowly make her way to his side.

But without any warning, she saw the news that he was retiring.

It turned out that the start of her dream coming true had been bought with the end of his.

Four years later, on the night DBG won the championship.

Soder pinned Xu Lian between himself and the wall. Outside the window, fans were cheering on the first floor.

His hand caressed her face.

"You said they were shouting your ship name with Fu Yijun..." His voice was husky, and he stared into her eyes without looking away. "Do they know that I'm the one controlling the rhythm of your heartbeat right now?"

Xu Lian looked up, her gaze falling on his strained expression and the earlobes so red they looked ready to drop.

She suddenly smiled and rose onto her tiptoes, leaning close to his ear.

"Then why... don't you dare actually kiss me?"

After the event, a championship ring appeared in Xu Lian's hand, and she was surrounded by fans shipping her with Soder.

Hearing the fans' questions, Soder gave an irritated "Tsk."

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Ignoring everyone's stares, he lifted Xu Lian's hand.

"You're shipping the wrong couple."

"The championship ring on her hand is mine."

Xu Lian: Every time the camera focuses on you, I fall in love with you all over again.

Soder: That day, you weren't the only one who fell in love at first sight.

[Esports Player x Esports Host]

Fan Yuya is loud and carefree around everyone.

Except around one person, when she suddenly becomes very quiet.

Well... not entirely quiet.

After she's been drinking, she's pretty wild around him too.

The first time she got drunk in front of him, she slurred out an incoherent confession.

He pretended not to hear and started avoiding her after that.

The second time she got drunk in front of him, she seemed to pin him beneath her and kiss him over and over.

She can't remember the details after that...

But when she opened her eyes again, she turned her head and saw the face that had appeared in her dreams countless times.

He was right there beside her, within reach.

He was still asleep. Fan Yuya held her breath and stared at him for a long time. After making sure it wasn't a hallucination, she slowly gave herself a thumbs-up.

This was going to be great.

She was about to cling to this Fu Yijun like a ghost and never let go.

Love me once, or hate me forever.

Fu Yijun is good at baseball and gaming, but when it comes to love, he's completely clueless.

His only experience with romance was in middle school, when the people around him teased him about how well he and Xu Lian would make a couple.

So he figured he must like Xu Lian.

But years later, when he learned Xu Lian was with the person she loved, he wasn't so much heartbroken as sad that they'd gone from telling each other everything to him being the last to know she was in a relationship.

And there was someone who had already gone through every one of his emotions for him.

He asked her, "How did you get over it? Teach me, will you?"

She said, "I started getting over it when I saw you."

He didn't know that she had never gotten over him.

Theme: Daring to chase after someone is the opening chapter of every story.
