Xiao Mi suspects her boyfriend might be cheating. He's online every night at the same time, duo-queuing with someone, and his WeChat messages are full of, "Baby, mwah, I love you so much."
Heartbroken and furious, Xiao Mi immediately confronts him. But her boyfriend looks aggrieved and defends himself with complete confidence.
"It's not me, I didn't do it! He's just an insanely good jungler, and I want him to help me climb the ranks!"
Half-believing him, Xiao Mi goes through their chat history from start to finish.
The profile picture with the pink bow-tied teddy bear does belong to her damned boyfriend, and the homewrecker who keeps saying, "Baby, log on and I'll carry you," really does have a deep, sexy voice.
...That kind of makes sense, but something still feels off?
Once the truth is out, her boyfriend doesn't even bother pretending anymore. He cheats with ever more shameless abandon.
"Baby, can you put us on voice chat? The jungler keeps insisting we talk."
Her boyfriend begs and begs, so Xiao Mi reluctantly agrees. But when the jungler calls him "Baby," that swoon-worthy voice makes her heart race a little too fast.
"Baby, our jungler sent me this dress, but I gave him your measurements. Please, please put it on and video call him! My whole future in the game depends on you!"
Xiao Mi changes into it, feeling very unwilling. The camera turns on, and wow! The jungler really is a top-tier college hunk from a sports university: 188 centimeters tall, broad-shouldered, and so handsome even his buzz cut can't hide it. He's almost too tempting to resist.
"Baby, he asked to meet me in person. Please, please go in my place! Make sure you keep him happy. The new season has started, and I still need him to carry me..."
Xiao Mi: "???"
Fine. From this moment on, you're my ex.
Jungler, you better watch yourself. He's my boyfriend now.
