The World's New Era [Esports]

Zhou Shourui opened his eyes and discovered that he had somehow arrived three years in the future!

This was too bizarre. He had been planning to dominate the amateur tournaments and had even dreamed of winning the championship. Who could have guessed that he would be assassinated by an object falling from a great height during a trip to the supermarket?

What a shame. His ID still said he was 18. He'd transmigrated, so what was wrong with getting a cheat ability?

His face-slapping antics against a novice streamer with a million followers attracted a huge fanbase. Then, after his fans enthusiastically recommended it (or rather, bullied him into it), he started thinking about competing.

Wait, who's the new captain of the XKZ team, according to the rumors? Why does he look so much like his easygoing childhood friend?

Meanwhile...

Who was Xiao Quci? A legendary detail-oriented expert. Then, out of nowhere, a random player appeared whose gameplay was so perfectly in sync with his.

He immediately borrowed an alt account and entered the livestream. If he wanted to chat, couldn't he just throw money at the streamer? They chatted, then started talking about meeting up to watch a match in person. Heaven was on his side: the two teamed up on the spot.

At the cafe.

Zhou Shourui: "Are you buying coffee?"

Xiao Quci: "No, I'm waiting for someone."

Zhou Shourui, curious: "Who?"

Xiao Quci, smiling: "My favorite streamer."

Zhou Shourui: ? Why does something feel off...

Fortunately, Zhou Shourui made it onto the team. But why were all his teammates so weird?

Teammate: "What kind of taste is that? That's so straight-guy."

He looked at the pink outfit he'd dressed his character in and couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Zhou Shourui retorted: "Aren't you a straight guy? Oh no, stay away from me."

The straight-guy teammate was stunned: "That's unfair!"

Xiao Quci, a decidedly non-straight man, walked past with a lollipop in his mouth. "..."

WEL star player Xiao, famous under his surname, anonymous question: I'm a man, but my clingy childhood friend is straight. What should I do?

Mr. Zhou replied to Anonymous: Who are you clingy with?

During the livestream:

Fans: Canoe, we love youuuu!

Xiao Quci, now a moderator: Friends, don't call him that next time. (Sent a one-hour timeout.)

Zhou Shourui tugged at him and said, "Don't do that."

Xiao Quci agreed quickly, and his fingers were just as fast. The next fan got a five-minute timeout.

Zhou Shourui: ...

But in person, Xiao seemed even more brazen.

Male fan: "Canoe, thank you! My girlfriend and I made up!"

Zhou Shourui looked completely bewildered.

Male fan: "Thanks for helping my girlfriend see that God Xiao isn't some aloof idol!" (Kissing his girlfriend to show off.)

Zhou Shourui looked at Xiao Quci, who stepped forward as if he were about to cuddle up to him. Zhou Shourui leaned sharply backward, warning him with his eyes that they were in public, and protecting this overly casual straight guy.

In truth, Xiao had been planning to kiss him.

A double-standard, cool-act, sharp-tongued guy x an unapproachable, slow-to-warm-up, well-behaved boy
