Afterglow · A Fortunate Meeting

An entertainment reporter revealed that the jungler and mid laner on team X.G. don't get along, and even had photos to prove it. The picture showed the two walking one behind the other toward a restaurant. Jiang Huaiyan was in front, as cool and aloof as ever, while Lu Ying behind him wore a tragic expression. For a while, the two players' fans made a habit of taking digs at each other.

Celebrity Life is one of the hottest variety shows on the internet lately. Its unpredictable, chaotic plot and live broadcasts have captured viewers' interest. This time, the show has invited team X.G. to participate. Netizens initially thought the biggest attraction would be the friction between the team's mid and jungle players. But they never expected things to take such an unexpected turn. If they had to describe it in one word... it would probably be... yuri vibes...?

Shen Qingran's childhood was like a lingering shadow that hung over all his memories. He didn't want to talk about it because he didn't want to remember. Jiu Jinchuan was a resilient sunflower blooming in the smog, but the flowering season was always short. The sunflower had only accompanied him halfway before disappearing. Shen Qingran searched for a long time, but to no avail

"Everyone looks like you, but no one is you."

As an adult, Shen Qingran found Jiu Jinchuan, but Jiu Jinchuan had undergone "MECT" treatment and forgotten everything that had happened between them.

Shen Qingran worked hard to help Jiu Jinchuan recover his memories. The road was difficult and full of setbacks, but Shen Qingran didn't want to give up. He firmly believed that Jiu Jinchuan was the same sunflower in his heart, the one that never gave in, even when beaten down. Then a few more complications arose, but life is full of disappointments. The two spent day after day in the laboratory. In the end, they made the most of their youth and, with the efforts of the entire lab team and the foundations laid by those who came before them, developed medicines and medical equipment that could cure cancer.

A craze for shipping couples sprang up out of nowhere. Anything could be paired up, whether it flew in the sky, ran on land, or swam in the water... Because of a post Shen Qingran had made earlier, the two caused quite a stir and inevitably became a popular ship among fujoshi and fudanshi everywhere. Shen Qingran noticed, but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. Until one day, he saw a post from Jiu Jinchuan:

"As long as you're happy, we're fine with it~"

The meaning of the sunflower is much like the two of them: "I see no one else; everywhere I look, it's you. You are the only one in my eyes. When you're here, you're the sun, and I can't take my eyes off you. When you're gone, I lower my head and see no one."

Theme: Sometimes, without even noticing, you've already been in love for a very, very long time.
