Yan Qi and Ye Yang are the two most famous heartthrobs at No. 1 High School. One is cool and aloof, the other unruly and untamed. They grew up together, always attending the same school, sharing the same class and dorm room, and even presenting as top-tier Alphas at the same time. One stormy night, Ye Yang's rut hit, and he nearly smashed through the dorm wall. Unable to sleep because of the noise, Yan Qi walked over to his bed, tugged open his shirt collar, and casually tapped his long, slender neck. “If you can't help it, just bite me.” Later, at the victory celebration, Ye Yang lost control during another rut and pinned Yan Qi down in the dorm, kissing him. Yan Qi turned the tables and slammed him to the floor, laughing in fury. “Fine, Ye Yang. You really are something.” Going around acting like a creep toward your own best friend. Only later that night did Yan Qi suddenly realize that the person Ye Yang had been secretly in love with all along might be him. I will defy my nature, go against my instincts, and love you forever.

He Ling, known as Winter, is the captain of the NGU team and one of the two top junglers in the domestic region. Everyone knows he and the other one don't get along. At one All-Star event, the organizers paired them on the same team for fun. Netizens pulled up chairs and got their popcorn ready, expecting a fierce rivalry. Instead, the two junglers each held down half the map, then joined forces in a mid-game brawl and wiped out all five opponents. Netizens: I can't believe I'm kind of into this arranged marriage. Two top junglers joining forces? A championship is just a matter of time. Please, you two, team up! After the match, a host asked whether they would consider working together. He Ling calmly replied, “Sure. He can come be my dog.” Jiang Yi smiled. “Is that any way to talk to someone?” Later, those same two teamed up and outplayed the Korean, North American, and European teams, winning the domestic region's first-ever world championship. After the world finals, twenty million viewers around the globe waited with bated breath for the interview. Jiang Yi walked onstage, looking every bit the gentleman. He took the microphone and beamed. “Hello, everyone. I'm Winter's dog.” The entire internet: ???????????????? #CheckingGlisten'sMentalState# #WorldChampionJunglerPossiblyPossessed# #JustPassingThroughAreTheStandardsForBeingADogReallyThatHighNow# 2. While duo-queuing with viewers, He Ling was matched with a strange support player. The support bought damage-dealing gear from the start, then stole the blue buff He had saved for a viewer, putting on a coy voice: “Jungler big brother, give me the blue buff. The mid laner won't get mad, will they?” He Ling: ? You're trying something very new here. Ten minutes later. The support was unstoppable. He Ling: ... Since the team happened to need a strong support player, He Ling added them as a friend. He was only looking for a teammate, but somehow they ended up as boyfriends. Later, on the day they met in person, he looked at Jiang Yi sitting across from him and fell into deep thought. ...Was it too late to call the police?
