A direct pursuit of love. The "falling for them after all" trope never gets old!

*

As someone who'd been called a handsome guy for eighteen years, Qi Si never imagined that one day he'd fall in love at first sight.

And he fell for none other than the infamous beauty of a senior who had already graduated from their school.

Wingman: Aren't you straight?

Qi Si: That's Song Shixu! Nothing beats seeing him in person!

He boldly pursued him, added him on WeChat, and got deleted as soon as he'd introduced himself.

Wingman: You're a simp.

Qi Si: No, I'm his dog-boyfriend.

They met again at a kindergarten.

Song Shixu had a face that told people to stay away, yet he was doing the most approachable job there was: teaching preschoolers.

Looking at the little niece he'd just brought to kindergarten, Qi Si thought his chance had arrived!

Wingman: Give it up. He has a bad reputation. He's promiscuous and sleazy.

Qi Si: As soon as WeChat rings, everything the wingman said goes in one ear and out the other!

Song Shixu realized that an uninvited guest seemed to have barged into his life.

This guy seemed to have boundless energy and inexhaustible enthusiasm, showing up every day like an affectionate golden retriever.

"How old are you?"

"I just turned eighteen."

Song Shixu smiled with distant coolness. "I like mature people, older than me."

Qi Si never came back.

One day, while singing at a bar, Song Shixu saw Qi Si again.

The young man was flushed from drinking, gazing at him with watery eyes and boundless longing...

Song Shixu's heart gave a sudden leap.

*

Song Shixu was short on money.

At a drinking party, egged on by everyone, he downed his drink in one go. The alcohol trickled down his neck and under his clothes, leaving everyone around him staring.

Song Shixu went to the restroom to sober up.

He had barely opened the door and found his footing when someone grabbed him and pinned him against the sink

Qi Si's eyes were bloodshot with anger. His hot breath fell against Song Shixu's neck, and he stared at him as if he wanted to burn right through him.

Outside the restroom, drunk people pounded on the door.

Inside, the two kissed until they could barely breathe.

"Song Shixu, you're heaven's final project in suffering, but you're never trapped by your circumstances."

"I want to resonate with you."

"Please, don't push me away."

"Sacred Domain Clash" is a hugely popular 5v5 hero-battle MOBA game. It's grown rapidly and has a massive player base.

Even a stray dog could play a couple of rounds.

Bian Yan, in-game ID: Sorry

A famous streamer in the Sacred Domain Clash section of Miaotu TV, known for his "stutter-step" assassin-mage playstyle.

He specializes in taking out marksmen and firmly holds his place as the platform's infamous, polarizing top streamer.

He's got skill and looks, and he's never short of a cheeky line.

[On screen]

Bian Yan, dressed in flashy gear and down to a sliver of health, charged straight at the enemy tower.

Then he effortlessly "stutter-stepped"

The next second, another marksman, unable to resist the temptation of an easy kill, died to his low-health stutter-step playstyle.

Bian Yan casually typed "Sorry." Paired with his in-game ID, it came off as pure mockery.

"I don't take students."

[Commenter 1: Damn, when am I ever going to stop laughing at Sorry baiting the enemy into a kill with his stutter-step play?]

[Commenter 2: How is someone playing like a total clown still getting so much traffic these days?]

[Commenter 3: So what? This hardcore fan of Sorry loves watching my boy laugh after making a comeback. He's so cute, you guys have no idea!!!]

The haters couldn't stand a toxic player like Bian Yan ruining the game's atmosphere!

So they dug up an old recording from a stream he did two years ago, before he got popular

[Chat]

[Does the streamer have a favorite pro player?]

"Have you heard of Nova?" Bian Yan suddenly smiled. "I really look up to him."

[Who's Nova?]

[You clearly don't know. He was a gifted player who briefly shone on the WIN team back in the day, then disappeared without a trace.]

[What about Arrow, WIN's jungler? What do you think of him?]

On screen, the somewhat green-looking young man suddenly lifted his head. His teasing expression vanished, and he gave a scornful laugh before sneering without mercy:

"Pei Yunchang? What kind of trash gets to play pro these days?"

This old clip set off a frenzy among fans and passersby, and Bian Yan's comment section crashed that very night!

Genuine question: Is this some obscure little streamer trying to attract traffic? If not, then come say that to his face!

Son, it's not that we moms won't defend you, but why did you have to provoke Arrow?

2027 Sacred Domain Clash Elite Cup qualifiers

The veteran team WIN, long dormant, returned with a brand-new lineup, sparking endless speculation.

Even more shocking, their mid lane was taken by that pretty-boy streamer from Miaotu TV who'd gotten popular for his laughably bad stutter-step plays?!

On the big screen, Bian Yan put on his headset with a confident smile, then even flashed a provocative grin at the audience, making many fans of pretty faces reconsider.

WIN's star jungler and captain, Arrow, also known as Pei Yunchang, was immediately swarmed by reporters before the match.

[Reporter: A, why did WIN choose someone like him for mid lane?]

[Fan: This no-name streamer just said A was bad at the game yesterday! How can we let that slide?!]

Pei Yunchang acted as if he had nothing to say and only told everyone to focus on the match.

When WIN shut out Force, the whole arena fell silent. When the big screen showed Bian Yan taking MVP, the crowd erupted.

[Reporter: Just who is this Sorry guy...?]

The murderous arrogance Pei Yunchang had shown on the field had vanished. He thought for a moment, then answered with an easy familiarity and a smile. "Sorry?"

"You mean Nova."

"Yeah, he's better than me."

The esports scene exploded.

Only with you does everything become true glory.
