Captain, I Heard We're a Couple

Rumor has it that R-MOX Club's star marksman and ace support captain are a couple.

Back when he played support alongside the jungler, Tu Boye was the team's MVP jungler.

When he switched to supporting the marksman, Tu Boye trained day and night until he became a star marksman, sharing a tender bond with his captain in the bottom lane.

Later, the ace support, Jiang Zhi, was poached by a top-tier team. Jiang Zhi helped his new team's marksman draw first blood against Tu Boye, and fans went wild. The CP they shipped had fallen apart!

Who could have guessed that Tu Boye would then take on two opponents alone, killing the enemy marksman every time and leaving their support with just a sliver of health to escape?

The fans went wild again: The CP I ship is real!

After terminating his contract, Tu Boye joined the top-tier team. The team manager asked him why he'd chosen them.

Tu Boye answered, "Your ADC is too lousy. He's not worthy of a top-tier support."

After successfully joining the team, Tu Boye sought out Jiang Zhi, pinned him against the gaming desk, and quietly switched on the livestream camera. "Captain, I hear we're a couple. What do you think?"

Jiang Zhi's perspective:

I fell in love with one of my teammates online, but he doesn't know. What should I do?

Why, stir up rumors online and get everyone saying we're a couple, of course.

As the number-one fan of the "Blank Paper" CP, Jiang Zhi not only ships himself with his teammate, he also eagerly plays along and flirts with him.

When Tu Boye pinned him against the gaming desk, he put on an innocent face, but inside he was over the moon.

My ADC, you're finally taking the bait.

After a game update, supports became roamers and had to help the mid laner secure the lane from the start. During one livestream, Tu Boye picked mid, and the chat asked why he was competing with a girl for the role.

Tu Boye said, "A versatile pro has to be able to play every role."

For the whole match, the mid laner followed the support around as a roamer, and the two never left each other's side. The mid laner finished with a 0-10 record.

After the game, a teammate spoke over voice chat: "Tu Boye, you have two choices. Either stop playing mid, or quit the game."

Tu Boye: "Am I really that bad?"

Chat and teammates: "What do you think?!"
