Yang Ji, a two-time KPL champion support player, made a mess of things in the grand finals, earning a torrent of abuse online.

What nobody knew was that Yang Ji had gone onstage while sick. The ambulance was already waiting outside the venue while the match was still underway, and he had surgery that very night after it ended.

During recovery, he only meant to stream a game for a while, but unexpectedly met Qin Mo, who made him wonder if his electrolytes were out of whack.

Qin Mo and Yang Ji had never met, yet they worked together seamlessly.

Even the TV show playing in the background happened to interpret a line of poetry at just the right moment: "We met by chance, and you were just what my heart desired." It was a meeting of love: unexpected, yet love at first sight.

A genius youngster: that's how all the professional players in the internal scrims described Qin Mo.

Later, Qin Mo told Yang Ji that he had once dreamed of becoming a pro player too.

Yang Ji called the academy coach in the middle of the night to arrange training for him. He even took advantage of the opportunity to persuade Qin Mo to move in:

"Your place is way too far away. Just stay at my place."

*

Everyone said Yang Ji wouldn't return to the stage. He'd been away from team practice for too long.

The Win team's results plummeted in the new season, and the head coach quit in a hurry. The club asked Yang Ji to come back.

Yang Ji refused.

Until Qin Mo came to talk him around: "Bro, we all need you."

The very next day, the club officially announced him as head coach.

Fans: ???!!!

Because he was needed, he pressed on without hesitation.

*

Later, a fan captured this moment at the grand finals:

The opposing team's entire coaching and training staff rushed onto the stage to hurriedly plan their lineup for the decisive match, while Yang Ji walked onto the stage alone, hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he took his time.

One man holding back an army of thousands-

Flamboyant rich-kid esports player bottom x Elite tsundere doctor top

Qingyi is the bottom's in-game ID

Pursuit from the bottom

Gaming isn't a major focus, and you can enjoy it whether or not you've played Honor of Kings

It was the KPL summer split break, right at the end of the month.

As the saying goes, if you don't put in the hours at the start of the month, you'll have to make them up at the end.

The young team captain was convinced he could stay up as long as the moon did. Qingyi, who kept livestreaming at his computer out of sheer love for the game, had nevertheless overestimated how young he was.

When Qingyi was clutching his lower back and lying on an examination bed, this was what Lu Jingcheng saw: Qingyi's face was turned to the side, pain plainly held in check. His pale complexion made it impossible to hide his suffering.

What a frail beauty.

Lu Jingcheng: Try moving.

Qingyi bit his lip and tried to raise his upper body, but the moment he put strain on his lower back, a sharp pain shot along his spine and through his whole body.

His eyes welled up from the pain, making everything look hazy.

Through that hazy filter, Lu Jingcheng's lower face was covered by a mask. His cool eyes were fixed on Qingyi's back, and his long fingers pressed against it. "Does it hurt?"

Qingyi glanced through his blurry vision at the name tag on Lu Jingcheng's chest.

Well, good looks really are a gift that can't be hidden.

Lu Jingcheng: You have a herniated lumbar disc. Stay in the hospital for a few days of physical therapy.

Qingyi looked upset on the outside, but secretly delighted, and agreed.

*

Qingyi had the mildest condition in the whole department. After two days of physical therapy, he could already get out of bed. He spent all day wandering into Lu Jingcheng's office to make his presence known.

Lu Jingcheng: Do you need something?

Qingyi struck a flamboyant pose, one hand braced against the doorframe. "I'd like to take you out to eat. Will you do me the honor?"

The corners of Lu Jingcheng's mouth lifted beneath his mask, but his tone stayed gentle. "No, I won't."

*

Lu Jingcheng actually knew who Qingyi was. His younger sister was a data analyst for the IF team.

Whenever she talked about the team captain, she would get a headache. "Qingyi is such a straight guy. I've never seen another rich kid like him. All he does is play games. I wonder what poor soul he'll fall for someday."

Now that poor soul had been chosen. Lu Jingcheng stared at the message Qingyi had sent him on WeChat, lost in thought.

He really was such a straight guy, with that corny pickup line.

[I like you. I hope you'll return the favor.]

*

Later, Qingyi went to the Second Hospital whenever he had free time.

Don't ask. He was just going for a follow-up.

After examining Qingyi's back, Lu Jingcheng asked the flamboyantly smiling man, "Anything else?"

Qingyi lay on his stomach, chin resting on his arms. "Are you free after work today? Let me treat you to dinner to thank you for treating me."

Lu Jingcheng smiled. "What if I still refuse?"

Qingyi smiled back. "I don't think I'm fully better yet. I'll have to come back for another checkup in a couple of days."

The corners of Lu Jingcheng's mouth turned up slightly beneath his mask, but his expression didn't change. "Then forget it. Let's go."

*

But Qingyi pursued him with such rich-kid flair that Lu Jingcheng thought it was just a passing fancy.

Dr. Lu suppressed the stirrings deep in his heart and kept his expression calm. "We're both adults. Work is stressful. There's nothing wrong with having a little fun."

But he hadn't expected Qingyi to be serious. "I never meant to play around with you."

That one direct declaration knocked out everything Dr. Lu had prepared to say.

Qingyi stepped forward and took Lu Jingcheng by the chin. "Who the hell told you I was just playing around?"

Lu Jingcheng was a little taller than him and let Qingyi hold his chin. Qingyi's gaze burned with intensity. Lu Jingcheng turned his face away, refusing to look at him, but exposed his bright red ears to Qingyi.

Qingyi gritted his teeth, his fingers brushing Lu Jingcheng's lips. "I didn't make it this far in the league on talent alone. What got me here was..."

Qingyi leaned in and stopped two centimeters from Lu Jingcheng's lips. "Perseverance."

But the next moment, Lu Jingcheng kissed the corner of his mouth first, his gaze challenging. "Fine. I'll wait for you to win me over."

Qingyi: ...

Had he just been teased back?

Was this man even interested in him?

*

Later, Qingyi figured it out: when dealing with this stubborn tsundere, you had to take his words the opposite way.

When he said no, he meant yes.

Theme: Hard work pays off.
