Younger Man | Both Leads Are Romantically Inexperienced |
Rong Ran has played professionally for seven years and won all kinds of championships, but at every World Championship, victory has always eluded him.
At the latest World Championship, Rong Ran once again fell in the semifinals. The internet was flooded with abuse, and a crowd even surrounded him at the airport when he returned home. In a moment of carelessness, he took a full-force hit to the head from a water bottle.
A week later, a popular blogger revealed that Rong Ran was about to retire and join the coaching staff. Longtime fans went to Rong Ran's Weibo to ask for confirmation, but his reply was simply: "It's something I'm considering."
A month later, SHG announced that support player Rong Ran was leaving the team, but no news came of him becoming a coach.
Then a new team announced its formation and revealed its roster on its official account. The final entry simply read: Support YRMG-ran.
Rong Ran officially left the team he had been with for seven years and announced that he was joining YRMG.

While preparing to become a coach, Rong Ran received an invitation from YRMG, a newly formed team whose owner was even unknown. He turned them down without a second thought.
The person on the phone fell silent for a few seconds, then asked him bluntly, "Don't you want to win?"
Rong Ran laughed. "And joining your team means I'll win?"
The voice on the other end was firm and confident. "Yes. Rong Ran, I'll win this championship with you."

On the day he arrived at the new training base, Rong Ran met the person who had invited him: the team's AD, Ji Ye.
This was Ji Ye's first time playing professionally, but he was highly skilled. He had previously been a top-ranked solo player and had turned down offers from all the major teams.
Rong Ran's impression of him was: young, handsome, bad-tempered, ridiculously cocky, and full of himself.
Rong Ran thought it wouldn't be easy to get along with Ji Ye, but after they'd spent some time adjusting to each other, he gradually began to feel that something wasn't quite right.
When he ran out of mana, Ji Ye took him to steal the enemy's blue buff.
When he was hungry, Ji Ye cooked for him.
When he was sleepy, Ji Ye brought him a pillow.
When he wanted to fall in love, Ji Ye...
Ji Ye cornered him in his room and said earnestly, "I'll be your boyfriend."
Rong Ran: ?
We're just teammates!

Apart from advertisements, Ji Ye had only ever posted twice on Weibo.
The first post welcomed Rong Ran to YRMG.
The second announced their relationship.
He wrote plainly: On the battlefield, you protect me. Off the battlefield, I'll protect you. @YRMG-ran
