The Jungle King's Dating Playbook [Esports]

Su Ci, a prodigy in the top lane with "X-ray vision," has two things he can't stand: milk and his stingy nemesis, Yu Qingyang. So what if, during the 2023 regular season, he used his signature pick to kill TYH's rookie jungle king, Yu Qingyang, until the guy questioned his entire existence? So what if, after the match, he taunted him, saying, "Beating little Yang? All you need is a pair of hands." But did Yu Qingyang really have to spend three whole years ganking his top lane, even at the cost of leaving the marksman lane alone? Su Ci has the perfect power-fantasy life story. With his baby face and three championship titles, he's a KPL star top laner. He entered the KPL at eighteen, scored a pentakill in his debut, and went straight to the finals to win the championship. But at twenty-two, he was being called a "three-time champion carried to victory" and told, "If you can't play, just retire." With rookies emerging everywhere, he was forced to choose between retirement and transferring to another team. Aside from TYH, Yu Qingyang's team, no team was willing to buy him at his original price of fifteen million. But TYH's one condition was that he switch to mid lane. Su Ci signed without a second thought. "Sure. It's just a position change. I'll still become a legend." Just as he thought Yu Qingyang had "turned over a new leaf," and that they were about to go from "enemies who love to hate each other" to "you're my precious teammate," management told him: He was only there as a practice partner and to attend promotional events? Had Yu Qingyang's heartfelt words, when he grabbed Su Ci's arm and said, "You have to come play for my team," just been meant to mess with him? Su Ci has never known the meaning of giving up. To earn a starting spot on the first team, he pushed his twenty-two-year-old body to the limit, practicing until five in the morning every day to face off against the eighteen-year-old number-one draft pick and mid-lane prodigy. For some reason, there was always late-night food outside the second team's lounge, and the lights were always on when he got back to the dorm. Even the milk delivered every day had turned into the sweet soy milk he loved. Then Su Ci discovered that a devoted fan, big sister, who always sent him pre-match wishes and encouragement, had posted a photo on her social media. There was sweet soy milk and late-night food, as well as a shot of him training intently from behind. Most importantly, the photographer's face was reflected in the glass: Yu Qingyang. Su Ci's face instantly turned red. The new season began. Fans were worried, and haters had their keyboards at the ready. To everyone's surprise, the two rivals worked together with remarkable chemistry. After the match, Su Ci propped up a drunk Yu Qingyang and teased him, "It's only a regular-season match. You played that hard with a fever? You should've burned yourself to a crisp." Yu Qingyang smiled, his voice soft and husky. "I wasn't doing it just for the match. I was doing it for you." He'd made a wager with the coach. As long as they won, Su Ci could become his starting mid laner. Su Ci & Young Su Ci (shou) x Yu Qingyang (gong) 1.
