Consumed by Jealousy [Esports]

Bai Yu and Yan Jinghan grew up together and entered the national youth training camp at the same time.

They were the most dazzling captain and sniper.

Who knew that one day, the two would suddenly have a massive falling-out and cut ties completely?

-

Bai Yu is reborn three months before entering the training camp. The moment he opens his eyes, he turns down the camp's invitation. Yan Jinghan comes looking for him, but Bai Yu refuses to explain.

No one knows that he likes Yan Jinghan.

Yet in his previous life, after they got drunk and slept together, he heard Yan Jinghan call someone behind his back: "Last night was an accident... I've liked someone for a long time."

Bai Yu is so jealous he wants to cry. He decides he won't get involved with Yan Jinghan again.

When the people around him don't understand, he comes up with an excuse: "The player I admire is God Z from team ZOP. ZOP has already offered me a direct contract. I like God Z so much, I can't wait to join the team tomorrow!"

At the same time, he secretly puts on a secret identity and sneaks into Yan Jinghan's livestream. Pretending to be a girl fan, he asks in a high-pitched voice, "Does big brother have someone he likes? How about me?"

He just wants to know who could possibly be better than him.

-

Yan Jinghan discovers that the wife he raised from childhood has run away. Not only is he refusing to join the youth training camp with him, he's showering other men with gifts and confessions.

Remembering how his little childhood friend looked, crying and whimpering beneath him in his previous life, Yan Jinghan feels his heart heat up and his gaze turn fierce.

He follows his wife, watching to see how he can like someone else right under Yan Jinghan's nose.

When he sees his wife start a livestream, he puts on a secret identity. For every gift a rival man sends, he sends a hundred times as much.

He takes the top spot on the leaderboard. During a platform event's mandatory question round, he asks without the slightest hesitation, "Why do you like someone else? Isn't Yan Jinghan good enough?"

No one could treat him as well as Yan Jinghan does!

Several major things happen in the esports scene this year:

Amateur player Yan Jinghan challenges God Z and wins all ten matches;

Amateur player Yan Jinghan challenges a former continental champion and wins all ten matches;

Amateur player Yan Jinghan challenges a former world champion and wins all ten matches;

In the dorm, Yan Jinghan pins Bai Yu in a corner. "You should choose me this time, right? My gun's harder than theirs."

Everyone: "! You forgot to mute your mics. We all heard that."

Reader's guide:

1. 1v1, both leads are inexperienced. Mutual secret crushes and extreme jealousy.

2. The esports game is probably a battle royale.

3. The top's memories return more slowly than the protagonist's. More details to come.

4. Thanks to artist Tang Jiuxi for the character card on the cover.
