My Tenderness Is Yours Alone [Showbiz]

[A gentle warning: The writing is amateurish, and the pacing is off. Read with caution.]

“If there is such a thing as forever in this world, then I will love you forever.”

Lin Qingqian found those words in a bookmark. She remembered them for the rest of her life.

On the day she passed away in old age, Lin Qingqian added a line to the bookmark:

We shared the carefree days of youth, weathered the anxieties of middle age hand in hand, and leaned on each other in our twilight years. That is our forever.

Ling Zhiyu, I will love you forever, too.

Coming soon: Bamboo Horse and the Light

Yan Mo is a top player in Game for Peace and the captain of SF, a leading professional team. He's aloof and cares about nothing but the game.

His teammates all think their captain is a cold-hearted machine who could never fall for anyone. That is, until one day, the captain who usually says nothing and mercilessly forces them to practice tells them all to register Bronze accounts, just so he can carry a girl?

“Yan Mo, how do I look at the compass?”

“Yan Mo, where do I see footsteps?”

“Yan Mo, someone's shooting me!”

Just listen to that soft, sweet voice. It's obviously a cute girl on the other end.

What's even more surprising is that their usually taciturn captain patiently explains:

“Move your left thumb to control your direction.”

“There's a minimap in the upper-right corner. Footsteps show up as orange footprints.”

“Don't be scared. It's a bot. It's already dead.”

When the match ends in a Chicken Dinner, they see their own kill count of zero and the adorable girl's fifteen kills.

So they were just bait for the bots, there to help her get kills?
