What Do I Do? My Pickup Game Teammates Heard Our Team Voice Chat

01:

Ruan Yu'an and two friends queue for a ranked match, randomly teamed with a solo-queue stranger. Their teammate is wearing one of the most expensive skins in the game, radiating the aura of a big spender.

Friend A: We're doomed. Big spenders are usually bad-tempered. Let's hope we don't mess up.

Friend B: I don't think that's going to happen.

Friend A, puzzled: Why not?

Friend B: Because my internet's lagging!

With that, Friend B immediately disconnects.

Friend A lets out a shrill scream: If your internet's lagging, why are you even playing?

The three of them can only start with a triple carry. Halfway through, Friend A is on the verge of tears. "I give up. Number four is probably going to roast us to death."

Ruan Yu'an sighs. "Getting teammates like us in ranked really is unlucky. They'd be right to talk trash about us."

But as soon as the words leave his mouth, he hears an unfamiliar man's low, magnetic voice:

"We can make it. I'm not talking trash. Come on, take over."

Ruan Yu'an's eyes widen in shock. Help, how did our solo-queue teammate hear that? I clearly had team chat on!

Damn you, NetEase, and your endless bugs (ToT)

02:

Sheng Xun accidentally selects a four-player match instead of solo queue. One teammate goes AFK as soon as the match starts. He's furious, but under the circumstances, he has no choice but to press on.

Fortunately, his other two teammates seem reliable enough, and the three of them get off to a good start. The match isn't completely hopeless.

To Sheng Xun's surprise, halfway through the run, he suddenly hears the other two teammates talking.

One of them has a clear, gentle, and very pleasant voice, and Sheng Xun can't help joining their conversation.

But he startles the young man, whose voice trembles with hurt as he asks:

"Why can you hear us talking?"

So cute, Sheng Xun thinks.

That night, after years of being plagued by insomnia, Sheng Xun unexpectedly gets a good night's sleep.

When he wakes up, he immediately opens the party recap from last night and sends a friend request.

03:

Sheng Xun, the campus heartthrob at A University, is widely regarded as an untouchable beauty and difficult to approach. Ruan Yu'an never thought someone as insignificant as himself would have anything to do with him.

Until one day, Ruan Yu'an accidentally bumps into Sheng Xun in the cafeteria, and Sheng Xun's MP3 player falls to the floor. Ruan Yu'an clearly hears his own voice coming from it:

"You're so cute, baby."

"You're so cute, baby."

"You're so cute, baby."

Reader's guide:

Both leads are each other's first and only love, devoted to each other, and committed to a one-on-one relationship. This is a classic indulgent-top-and-sweet, pampered-bottom pairing. If that's not your thing, feel free to leave.

A little practice writing romance, not much of a plot.

The game setting is NetEase's Eggy Party, because this dumb author can only play this and casual games like card and match-three games.

At heart, this is just a fluffy, brainless campus romance, so don't take it too seriously or compare it too closely to reality.

Some terms will be explained in the author's note of Chapter 1. The characters are not based on anyone.

Unlucky guy X unlucky guy.
