After Being Reborn, I Fell Hard for the Captain

[Main story complete] [Thanks to all my dear readers' support, this novel is now premium! It will conclude with a retroactive paywall this Friday, covering chapters 23 to 65. If you've already read them, please don't buy them again. If you haven't, hurry and grab them!]

[Cold and jealous younger seme x stern-on-the-surface team captain uke]

An Chan thought the new kid on the team was a little strange. He wasn't very old, but he had quite a temper and never missed a chance to talk back. An Chan concluded that the kid couldn't stand him.

He still thought that right up until the moment Gu Xian grabbed his wrist and pinned him against the wall.

Gu Xian was reborn on the day he first met his captain, An Chan, at the age of eighteen. In this new life, his captain still rubbed him the wrong way. He was mean-tempered, terrible at games, and had an ambiguous relationship with their superior. He was just a slacker resting on his laurels, abusing his seniority and doing nothing useful.

There was no way he'd fall for him this time!

So why does this captain get more appealing the more I think about him?

[The uke is a good person, not a slacker, and he has no ambiguous relationship with his superior. It was all a misunderstanding, which will be cleared up after the seme is reborn.]

[This ditzy author hasn't played LOL or watched a match in ages, so there may be lots of unprofessional or even inaccurate details. Please bear with me, dear readers TT]

My next novel will be "If the Jungler Doesn't Come Bot Soon, We're Done For." If you're interested, you can add it to your collection from my author page. I'll start it once this one's finished. 0.0

When Lin Jianghua was sixteen, he had a very brief online crush.

Lin Jianghua's heart raced: He knows I'm a guy and is still so nice to me. Could it be... that he likes me?

At the other end of the internet, Zhang Junqiao looked utterly confused: Huh? So you weren't a girl?

Before Zhang Junqiao could finish speaking, Lin Jianghua's avatar went gray and never lit up again.

Several years later

As a member of the TIG academy team, Lin Jianghua had a much harder training schedule than the other players. He had been a well-known AD player on the Chinese server, but financial pressures forced him to switch to jungle. With no experience as a jungler, he was completely lost and rushed off his feet every day.

To make matters worse, the ADC from the main team was always getting in his way, unable to go a single day without making his presence known.

At last, the annoying ADC let the truth slip while drunk. He leaned on Lin Jianghua's shoulder and said, "How come you don't remember me?"

"Lin Jianghua, no matter how many times we start over, I'll always love you without hesitation."

"Zhang Junqiao, the thing I regret most in my life is switching to jungle. I should've stubbornly kept playing AD until you lost your job."

"If I lose my job, will you support me?"

"W-Who said I'd support you?!"
