Everyone mocked him, saying OV_Echo had probably stayed with a prestigious team for so many years only because of his good looks. No one remembered that Echo had led OV to three consecutive championships. No one remembered that Echo had asthma, and in its worst year, an ambulance took him straight from the competition venue to the hospital. After that, OV fell into a slump, while their biggest rivals rose to fame thanks to a brilliant new prodigy who had seemingly come out of nowhere. · Meanwhile, a new sickly beauty with an ever-present smile appears on a livestreaming platform as an esports streamer: Yu Sheng. He's always cracking jokes. He may wear a faint, teasing smile and never seem serious, but his skills are undeniable, and he soon attracts a huge following. "Your voice is so nice, streamer. Why do you never show your face?" Yu Sheng yawns, his tone lazy and careless. "Because I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me." "You're so good... Have you ever considered going pro?" Yu Sheng pauses, and his smile finally fades. "No." The chat presses him for an answer. Yu Sheng lowers his eyes, his voice faint. "I'm in poor health. Going pro means day and night all turned upside down... It'd be the same as asking me to die." The chat immediately fills with messages saying they feel sorry for him. Shi Xing, who asked whether he would go pro, pauses, his lips slowly pressing together. The next second, Yu Sheng smiles again. "Besides, most importantly, I have to leave the pros a chance to survive." Shi Xing, who had just been feeling guilty: "..." Shi Xing takes a deep breath and slowly types: "Then, streamer, would you consider becoming a coach?" "A coach..." Yu Sheng stares at the message, his lashes trembling. "Sure." Shi Xing, who had been ready to be turned down, freezes. A vague sense of unease crosses his mind. The next second, a team invitation appears in his private messages. "If I'm a coach, I'll make my players cry," Yu Sheng says, resting his chin in his hand, his voice teasing. "Little brother, cry for me, and I'll coach you." Shi Xing: ... · Months later, on a night when the winner of a game determines how many times they'll go at it, Yu Sheng realizes he's about to lose. His fingers tremble, and he decides to beg for mercy. He leans close to Shi Xing's ear and says with a laugh, "Keep going and I'll cry, Brother Shi." Shi Xing's lips curl into a faint smile, but his fingers press down without hesitation. "You'll play even harder if you cry." [He's teasing, he's smiling.] Reading guide: 1.

Ying Huai is so ungrateful! Xin Wan should leave with the person who saved her!] Unexpectedly, Xin Wan walks straight to the bed and leans over him.

Just confirming that you're the one who saved me." Ying Huai: ?? Ying Huai finally realizes that the teammates who had misunderstood him so badly in his previous life seem... different this time. The commenters keep saying: Don't be fooled by Ying Huai's face! He's a fox! Ying Huai, who hasn't even started seducing anyone yet, lazily yawns. "I didn't, I haven't." The guests with an "Ying Huai brain" say: What? Xiao Huai is finally willing to talk to us?

The top pursues the bottom in a redemption arc, and the bottom is frail. What Su Jinnian regretted most in his previous life was taking Chu Wang home the year he graduated. At the time, he was the youngest genius doctor at the National Medical University. Though he had congenital heart disease, he was brilliant, unruly, and lonely. He offended his advisor so Chu Wang could become his junior. Despite being seriously ill, he taught Chu Wang everything he had learned over the years. All because Chu Wang had said, "Brother, I want to learn what you know, so I can cure you someday." Then Su Jinnian watched Chu Wang take his friends and his research away from him. When Su Jinnian had a heart attack, Chu Wang looked at him indifferently and said, "Aren't you supposed to be the best doctor, Brother? If you can't do it, there's nothing I can do either." Su Jinnian loved to smile with his peach-blossom eyes and open his arms to the silent Chu Wang, as if waiting for a lost puppy to find its way home. Until the puppy grew into a wolfhound, bit him, and pinned him down, watching as Su Jinnian died in despair and unending agony. · After living his life again, Su Jinnian has come to terms with things. He decides to avoid every possible connection with Chu Wang right from the start. But somehow, things never go according to plan. On the rainy night when he was supposed to pick Chu Wang up, Su Jinnian sleeps at home until well into the next day. Yet for some inexplicable reason, he finds Chu Wang soaking wet outside his door. He lowers his eyes and nudges Chu Wang, who has passed out with a fever, with his foot. "Move. A good dog doesn't block the way." Chu Wang pushes himself up and crawls aside. "...Sorry." Su Jinnian is responsible for recruitment as an exemplary senior student. Right in front of Chu Wang, he tears his application into pieces. Leaning on one arm, he raises an eyebrow. "The application requirements aren't just for show. My school doesn't take on useless people." Chu Wang crouches down and painstakingly picks up every scrap of paper. "It's my fault. Don't get angry. Your health can't take it." Su Jinnian works until he collapses and is hospitalized, but when he returns to campus, he finds Chu Wang inexplicably enrolled anyway. He raises his hand and splashes water in Chu Wang's face. "Did you use connections, Chu Wang? How shameless can you be?" Chu Wang calmly refills his cup. "I am shameless, but you can't be left without anyone to care for you." Six months later, Su Jinnian has a heart attack and struggles amid a jumble of memories. As Chu Wang approaches, he grabs a scalpel and holds it to Chu Wang's throat. "Come any closer... and I'll kill you." This time, Chu Wang doesn't obey. He lets the scalpel cut his skin, then kisses Su Jinnian amid the smell of blood and forces the medicine into his mouth. Chu Wang's eyes are bloodshot. "Su Jinnian, you are not allowed to die in front of me again." Su Jinnian is silent for a moment, then slowly curves his peach-blossom eyes into a smile. "Chu Wang, have you never heard that a doctor can't treat himself?"
