Please add it to your collection =w=] [Blurb below] Mo Heng and Jiang Xian were college classmates. They met in the cafeteria. The first time they met, Jiang Xian poured a huge cup of iced cola into Mo Heng's lunch tray right in front of him. Ever since Mo Heng was born, the drink he liked least was cola. Everyone around them said that Jiang Xian had messed with such a terrifying guy, so he could forget about getting by for the next few years. But the next day at lunchtime, the two of them were sitting at the same table again, shoulder to shoulder, even serving each other food. They got along so well they looked like brothers. Everyone around them wore an array of expressive looks. Jiang Xian leaned close to Mo Heng's ear and laughed. "What do you think they'd do if they found out you're my boyfriend, and that we slept in the same bed last night?" Mo Heng, face cold, handed Jiang Xian a napkin. "Eat your food." After graduation, they moved in together. Later, Mo Heng broke up with him. Jiang Xian's tone sounded almost playful. "When I date someone, I only give them one chance. Think it through. Are you really sure you don't want me?" Mo Heng said nothing. Jiang Xian's smile didn't change. "Fine." Mo Heng thought he wouldn't regret it. Unfortunately, life is full of surprises. And people can't always help falling in love. One-on-one, HE Mo Heng gong, Jiang Xian shou Teacher x artist [Next danmei novel, At Your Discretion [Esports], available for pre-order] Younger gong, healing, one-on-one, HE Scheming professional player gong x aloof club boss shou Their first meeting: a private room at a bar. A club team-building event to break the ice. Liang Lesheng raised a glass to Yu Jie. Yu Jie looked indifferent, his voice even colder. "I don't drink." Liang Lesheng nodded and went back to his seat. A moment later, he saw Yu Jie holding a glass and chatting happily with someone else. Liang Lesheng held a grudge. Their second meeting: the training room. Yu Jie, his face icy, tossed Liang Lesheng's player profile onto the keyboard. It landed with a smack. Liang Lesheng looked up at him innocently. "Brother Yu." Yu Jie looked down at him. "Liang Lesheng. You joined the youth training camp at fourteen and graduated at eighteen as the camp's top player and the youth tournament champion. After graduating, you won the domestic championship two years in a row." "You're too kind." "You think I'm complimenting you?" "..." "At twenty-one, you joined NH Club. Since then, you've lost thirteen matches in a row." Liang Lesheng still looked innocent. "I've been off my game lately." Yu Jie said coldly, "Off your game? I'll give you three months. After that, I'll sit here and play against you. If you can't beat me, you can leave now." Everyone around them thought Liang Lesheng's career was over. With Yu Jie's skill, even though he'd retired and hadn't touched a game in years, beating Liang Lesheng as he was now would be a sure thing. Liang Lesheng suddenly smiled. "If I win, you have to agree to one condition." "Fine." Their Nth meeting: Yu Jie's home. Liang Lesheng trapped Yu Jie in front of the computer desk, his gaze intense. Yu Jie leaned back slightly, the corners of his eyes a little red. "You promised. Don't go back on your word." Yu Jie had once been a miracle in the esports world. That miracle ended with a single sentence. "You can't compete anymore. You need to rest." At his retirement press conference, he smiled warmly and apologized as he said goodbye to everyone. Afterward, Yu Jie got thoroughly drunk. Without his usual sharpness, he was like a little animal stripped of its claws. From then on, he began receiving messages from someone else. That person helped him get back on his feet, little by little. Build a club. Prepare for tournaments. Yu Jie said that if he ever got the chance, he wanted to see what that person looked like. "Sure." Blurb dated 2021/1/30 Theme: Even in adversity, you can grow with optimism and face the sunshine
