Please add them to your reading list! ★ [Sharp-tongued retired pro x adorable, sweet little newbie streamer] Jing Xingchuan is a man who has spent years hovering near the top three of the entertainment gaming rankings. His fans have given him three labels: He sings well enough to rank with the music streamers, looks good enough to dominate the looks category, and is so bad at games he should never have joined the gaming category. Jing Xingchuan: ... No! I want to stay! Jing Xingchuan has always stuck with the gaming category. He thinks things have gone pretty smoothly overall, even if his skills haven't improved much. Until one day, the platform randomly paired the top three streamers from each category for a month-long livestreaming event. He watched as one by one, his friends were paired off with streamers from other categories. At last, the platform's message arrived: Hello. For this livestreaming event, you have been matched with [Yuan] from the competitive gaming category. We hope you enjoy your month-long duo event~ Jing Xingchuan: ...? Xi Yuan, huh? Ha ha, I'm doomed (blank stare.jpg) Xi Yuan is a League of Legends player famous for his snark. Rumor has it there isn't a pro player he hasn't taken a shot at. After retiring, he found a new job as a streamer in the competitive gaming category. He usually sits in front of the camera at the appointed time, eyes half-lidded and looking lazy, and can talk people into a heart attack. Jing Xingchuan sneaks into his livestream to watch Xi Yuan's languid, carefree manner. Just as he thinks, Actually, he's pretty handsome, Xi Yuan speaks to the viewers: "You're so bad." Jing Xingchuan's fans: ...Honestly, I'm a little worried about Xingxing. Jing Xingchuan: ...Honestly, I'm a little worried about myself too. And the prediction comes true. During their first livestream, Jing Xingchuan gets stuck on the starting level for half an hour, while Xi Yuan roasts him so badly he doesn't even dare breathe. Several times, he gets so worked up during a game that tears well in his eyes. Then, after an offline event, Xi Yuan's temper suddenly changes. He becomes gentle and patient with Jing Xingchuan. He stops needling him and even offers friendly advice on his gameplay. Jing Xingchuan: What is he plotting now? Jing Xingchuan: Don't come any closer! Xi Yuan, who recognizes Jing Xingchuan as his childhood friend: Uh-oh #What do I do when the guy who roasted me suddenly wants to date me?# #I ran my mouth to the person I like. Is it still in time to make it up to him?# Reading guide↓↓↓ Childhood friends become lovers ★ The bottom uses lots of sentence particles when he talks. Cute bottom. ★★ [A very, very, very, very mild] groveling arc, mostly fueled by his own imagination. ★★★ The bottom really is terrible at games and pulls off plenty of blood-pressure-raising plays. The top isn't foul-mouthed, just a born sarcastic troll with a wicked tongue and the maturity of an elementary school kid. ★★★★ The free chapters allow readers to decide for themselves. Respect everyone's preferences and squicks. [Please stop reading if you encounter content that makes you uncomfortable.] ★★★★★ Strongly not recommended for readers with high expectations for gameplay. You'll be happier, and so will I.
