Big news in the esports scene: HLD support player Bai Yue might be dating someone.
He's known in the LPL for his good temper, gentleness, patience, and doting dad energy.
The whole internet is searching: Who has he fallen for? The new sweet-natured commentator, or that refined and gentle host?
It definitely can't be Yu Yihan, the unconventional AD who curses up a storm in her livestream and has terrible manners on the Rift.
Anyone looking at Yu Yihan and Bai Yue would think Bai Yue was just acting professionally and soothing his ill-tempered teammate.
But Yu Yihan's livestream, as a teammate, was still packed to bursting.
She saw a stream of gossip in the comments and turned to ask the person in question: "Are you dating someone?"
Bai Yue answered gently and patiently: "No, it's all imagined."
Yu Yihan told her viewers: "Move along, he says he's not dating anyone."
But netizens refused to give up. They kept digging and finally found Bai Yue's secret Weibo account one late night.
The more they dug into it, the more they found.
Before Yu Yihan joined HLD, his Weibo posts were always like this:
[Yeah, I played pretty average today. I missed a key ability and need to reflect on it.]
[Maybe I should retire. Should I let my fans know ahead of time?]
[They'd be sad, wouldn't they?]
Every post was self-reflective. He'd never had a bad temper, and was so gentle that it brought everyone to tears as they lamented how hard his career had been.
But after Yu Yihan joined HLD
[Don't want to leave anymore. I want to play for a few more years. ^ ^ I love it when she turns around and high-fives me after I heal her once.]
[Why does RY's support keep asking my AD to duo with him? Doesn't he have an AD of his own?]
[I really want to twist his hand off, but I can't.]
[I played a solo match with him today. I won ten games. He asked me what I meant by that, and I said, 'Don't duo with her anymore. She's tired.']
[Yeah, it's all imagined.]
[Not the netizens' imagination. Mine.]
[When will she date me? When will she date me? When will she date me?]

Reader notes: 1. A slow-witted, steel-straight woman who lives by "If you have a problem, fight it out" x a gentle, doting, yandere dad type who's "great at comforting people."
2. The female lead has terrible manners. If you have high standards for the female lead's manners, don't read this.
3. The competition format is a hodgepodge based on an old version. Don't apply the setting, teams, or game to reality.
Theme: Love.
