Pei Luochuan and Zheng Yu used to be teammates on the same squad, working together seamlessly.

A major mistake during a competition got Pei Luochuan banned for three years. His ID, Beiming Youyu, was also deleted, and he was forbidden from using it ever again.

After their team disbanded, the two fell out and became a taboo neither would ever mention.

Three years later, Pei Luochuan still couldn't let go of his love for the game and wanted to make a comeback. So he created an alt account to test the waters.

While playing a random ranked match on his alt, he heard Zheng Yu's voice giving orders over team chat.

Pei Luochuan's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers slipped off the skill buttons.

Was this a melodramatic script written by God, or did fate just love playing tricks?

Among tens of thousands of random ranked players in the evening's peak hours, had they become teammates again?

Pei Luochuan refused to believe it. For the next match, he deliberately waited more than ten minutes before queuing again. He prayed they wouldn't meet, but then...

He got matched with Zheng Yu again. Looking closely, the ID was [Nanfu Youzhu].

As their chance encounters grew more frequent, Pei Luochuan realized he was becoming a lovesick fool. He couldn't help thinking Zheng Yu looked at him with excessive affection.

He carefully asked him, "Have you been watching my livestream all along and queueing solo at the same time as me, pretending our meetings are coincidences?"

Zheng Yu said, "Don't pin what you do on me. You're the one who started watching my livestream and queuing at the same time!"

"Did you pick Nanfu Youzhu because you wanted a matching couple ID with me?"

"The important part of Nanfu Youzhu is the 'pig' part. Pig!"

"Do you like me?"

Zheng Yu blushed, his old face turning red, and said nothing.

After all the twists and turns, those who love each other will meet again in the end.

1. A short, sweet story about getting back together after a breakup.

2. My take on esports and gaming. The moves are loosely based on Jian Wang 3, Naraka: Bladepoint, and Meteor, Butterfly, and Sword; the tournament format is based on PUBG. Easy to follow.
