The Whole Internet Says My Captain □□ Me [Esports]

One day, Ye Duo, widely known as the Valley's biggest menace and a toxic presence in the esports scene, suddenly announced that he was joining a new team under Ling Feng: TWB.

The whole internet erupted.

The trending searches blew up that very day: #YeDuoHasLostIt#

Who was Ling Feng? A legendary champion who had disappeared for a year. His achievements were beyond compare, but he was infamous for his ruthless temper.

Most famously, when his teammates ignored his calls, he subbed out five players over the course of three matches, and every substitute became a star.

Ye Duo, meanwhile, loved ignoring calls. He had won last season's Best Rookie award entirely on instinct.

The team's first livestream drew everyone's attention.

Ye Duo's Gan Jiang and Mo Xie slipped alone behind enemy lines. While the chat flooded with cries of "He's insane!", he pulled off a series of impossible moves and scored a triple kill.

The other team flew into a rage, flooding the public chat with insults.

Ye Duo sneered, last-hitting minions as he typed.

"You miss more last hits than you get, and you can't even see someone walking right up to your face. I commend you for continuing to fight despite being blind.

After gifting us a triple kill like that, you should all sell your phones and buy a dog to play for you. Its score would still be better than yours."

As the chat filled with "HAHAHAHA" and "Well said!", a calm, low voice cut in from off camera.

"Insulting people on stream costs fifty thousand each time."

It was Ling Feng.

Everyone held their breath, expecting a close-quarters brawl to break out any second.

Instead, the brash white-haired player on screen whipped around and complained, "Captain! They started it!"

At the edge of the frame, a hand with long, distinct knuckles appeared. In a casual voice, it said, "Mm. Then I won't deduct it."

The chat paused for a moment, then went wild.

[Am I deaf, or has God Ling been possessed? He's not punishing him for that?!]

[The way God Ling just looked at Ye Duo... Was that indulgence? Am I blind?]

"Then I won't deduct it"... Wow. Their former teammates are going to cry when they see this clip!

But what truly shattered the internet's perception was a trending video that surfaced one night.

On a street at the dead of night, a clearly drunk Ye Duo was draped all over Ling Feng, rubbing his white-haired head against Ling Feng's shoulder and neck.

"Hubby! How are you so amazing? If I'd known you could protect me this well, why would I have bothered practicing? I could've just lain flat!"

Ling Feng, the former champion said to hate all physical contact, who had once spent an entire day glaring after a fan merely touched his coat, didn't push him away or dodge.

He even held a hand near Ye Duo's waist to keep him from slipping down.

The trending searches exploded instantly:

#YeDuoCallsHimHubbyInTheStreet#

#LingFengGetsCalledHubbyAndDoesntKillHim#

#TWBTeamKeepingItInTheFamily#

Even more outrageous, the pair's popularity as a couple skyrocketed to a terrifying level, and the league and club began quietly arranging "fan service," half-heartedly at first.

During that night's livestream, the team manager silently handed over a cue card.

Ye Duo glanced at it and slammed it onto the table. "What the hell is this? If you've got the guts, make Ling Feng read it! Why are you picking on me?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng reached out without changing his expression. His cool gaze swept over the lines, which were completely at odds with his usual persona. Then he said:

"Hubby, since our baby's been so good, can I have the first blue buff?"

Ye Duo: "..."

After three seconds of dead silence, the chat went completely wild.

[?????]

[Who? Who's talking? God Ling, blink if you've been kidnapped!]

[Ye Duo, why are you blushing? Say something! Insult him! Where's your usual fighting spirit?]

[I'm dying over this! This isn't fan service! This is REAL!!!]
