I'm Here for Tryouts [Esports]

[Energetic, down-to-earth, easygoing AD top laner X tsundere, sharp-tongued CEO beauty, romance in the first half and dual career arcs in the second. We've all seen trolls, but have you ever seen a player this easygoing?] Left-behind child Huo Hao is kicked out by his stepmother, then gets an invitation to move to the city and play professionally. The big city is so enormous that Huo Hao gets turned around. Holding an address that says XX Road, XX Number, he ends up at XX Road, X Number. A cool, elegant beauty opens the door. Huo Hao has never seen anyone this good-looking, and his face instantly turns red. Stammering, he says, “H-hello. I, I'm here for the tryout.” Pei Huanyu glances at the old-man shoes on the new housekeeper and frowns, but still lets him in. Huo Hao realizes the tryout isn't quite what he expected. The beauty doesn't test his last-hitting, team-fight survival skills, or champion pool. Instead, he tosses Huo Hao a card and tells him to cook and clean every day, and occasionally warm his bed. Huo Hao: Got it. He's trying to toughen me up. So Huo Hao works diligently. The beauty looks more satisfied with each passing day, and treats him better and better, but still never mentions letting him join the team. One day, Huo Hao finally can't hold back and asks the beauty, “Did I pass the tryout?” Pei Huanyu gives him a strange look, then shifts into a more comfortable position in Huo Hao's arms. “Of course.” Huo Hao, excited: Then can I...? Pei Huanyu: Move into my room? Huo Hao: ...Join the LPL? Pei Huanyu: ???????? A brand-new, lavishly funded team, GjG, suddenly appears in the LPL. In its first season, it spends big on a record-breaking top laner, a jungle carry, a champion mid laner, a genius support, and... an unknown AD, Huo Hao? The AD just grins stupidly at everyone and is incredibly good-natured. Just as everyone assumes Huo Hao must be some young master, his family background is exposed: his father doesn't care about him, his mother doesn't love him, and he was forced to drop out of school after middle school. Huo Hao even says on stream that he only gets 800 yuan in spending money each month. Everyone feels sorry for him: So he's a poor little thing after all... Then, just as everyone assumes Huo Hao was a reluctant choice because the team ran out of money, he proves himself with his performance on the rift. Everyone realizes: So he earned his place through skill. Just as everyone is praising the investor for having such a good eye, the legendary top tycoon and team investor suddenly shows up at the club. Without warning, he storms into the training room while the team is streaming. The club manager follows behind him, trembling, as the tycoon walks in with a cold expression. He doesn't dare warn the players, who are absorbed in their games. The tycoon surveys the room, then walks over behind Huo Hao. The manager and everyone watching the stream hold their breath. The tycoon stands behind Huo Hao, who remains focused on his game. The tycoon pats him on the shoulder, but Huo Hao dodges. The tycoon's face darkens. Behind him, the manager covers his face, unable to watch. Huo Hao finally finishes his game and turns around. Seeing the tycoon's face, he freezes. Before he can say anything, the tycoon grabs him by the collar and hauls him out of his chair. The chat begs for mercy: Stop, boss! Huo Hao may be a little dumb, but he's a good person! He doesn't deserve to die! Manager: Is there still time to find a new AD? In the tense silence of the training room, the tycoon suddenly snarls: “How many times have I told you to throw away all those old-man shoes? And you're still wearing them!” Huo Hao wraps his arms around the furious tycoon and lets out a playful howl. “Honey, I'm sorry!” Everyone: ???????? Reading guide: 1. They dote on each other. It's probably an aloof, abstinent-seeming top who gets all clingy with his beloved, and an eight-pack-having, domestic, country-bumpkin sunshine AD bottom. They both get career arcs later, so the story uses dual perspectives. 2. The top may be a bit of a country bumpkin, but he's a model husband! He calls the bottom “Honey” and gives him all his earnings, which is why he only gets 800 yuan in spending money each month! 3. They're each other's first love. The top wins the championship, and the bottom builds a team. 4. The first half focuses on their romance and unmasking their identities, while the second may lean more into their careers. The game is League of Legends, but you don't need to play it to enjoy the story. 5. A silly comedy. I hope writing it and reading it will help everyone unwind. Theme: Live a positive, uplifting life!
