Summer's End

[Mutual Secret Crush]

1.

The esports world has a legendary player: Luo Fan, captain of team GY. He rose to the top as soon as he went pro, leading his team to a world championship and earning the adoration of countless fans. Unfortunately, he never attends events and only cares about competing. Even when appearing in public, he always wears a mask that hides his face.

Insiders call this world's number one jungler the moon in the sky: beautiful to look at from afar, but impossible to touch. He won't even respond when esports' most beautiful streamer openly flirts with him.

But after one match, his teammates saw their cold, iceberg-like captain cornered by a pretty young woman. They assumed she was another crazed female fan and were about to mourn for her, when the captain suddenly pulled her into his private lounge.

???

What is it that your loving teammates aren't allowed to see?!

2.

Sheng Qianli's crush on Luo Fan ended in the summer when he won the championship.

She thought that from then on, they would belong to two different worlds, growing farther apart like parallel lines.

One night, after losing twelve ranked matches in a row, Sheng Qianli suddenly received a party invite from Luo Fan: Want to play together?

After that, whenever Sheng Qianli saw Luo Fan online, she'd work up the courage to invite him. He never turned her down.

Her feelings grew stronger and stronger. One day, she took a chance and asked him if he had any plans to date.

Luo Fan hit her with a question: [Why do you think I play games with you?]

Because I want to make you my girlfriend. :)

Esports training is grueling. Late at night, when his teammates are already asleep, the captain is still fighting on the gaming front lines, all to cheer up the girl he likes.

Bonus scene:

After GY won a match in the season, the host interviewed the team. Luo Fan, who usually refused to answer questions, walked up on his own.

The host paused in surprise before asking, "I hear GY spent two months in closed training to prepare for this match. As captain, is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

"Good work," Luo Fan said with a serious expression, then added, "I mean my girlfriend."

---She must have missed me so much after two months apart.

From that day on, the once aloof and cool God Luo became a shameless show-off about his relationship. Whenever the team had an interview, he was the first to step up, and he couldn't get through three sentences without mentioning his girlfriend.

Reader's note:

1. Esports is just the backdrop for the romance. There are very few gaming scenes.

2. If sweetness were rated out of one hundred, they'd score one hundred and one.

Theme: Be positive and brave, and love life
