We Never Actually Dated! [Esports]

The day she broke up with her ex, Ying Yuan got drunk alone at a bar. When she heard the camera shutter, she was still hazily thinking, I'm done for. Tomorrow, all those esports gossip accounts will be running headlines like:

[Newcomer Beauty Host Gets Drunk at Bar Late at Night, Suspected Heartbreak]

When she woke up, Ying Yuan saw the top trending topic:

[World Champion Perse's Relationship Revealed]

Zhou Xu, a champion mid laner and world-class esports player, had played professionally for years without a single scandal. His fans jokingly called him a cold, heartless gaming AI.

Ying Yuan: ?

Holy crap! The iron tree is blooming! Hurry up and get the gossip!

Then she saw the person in the photo, dead drunk in the man's arms... and it looked like her?

News travels fast in esports circles. Soon, someone revealed that the female lead in the romance had actually just gone through a breakup yesterday.

Then Ying Yuan saw the headline swiftly change to:

[Perse Suspected of Breaking Up]

Ying Yuan: ...Wow. You internet users managed to complete the whole cycle yourselves.

Perse had been single for years before finally dating someone, and even after breaking up, he took the woman home. That look, those gestures, clearly showed he still had feelings for her!

So Ying Yuan started receiving messages from all kinds of people hoping the two of them would get back together.

During a post-match interview, a fan put her on the spot and asked when she and Perse would reconcile. Ying Yuan gave an awkward smile.

Where did this obsessive shipper come from? This is practically a live broadcast mishap!

The other male lead, Zhou Xu, glanced at her and said calmly, "Please stop paying attention to our private matters."

Then Ying Yuan heard the fan, who was heading offstage, shriek wildly: "Ahhh, he loves her so much!"

Ying Yuan: "..."

Could it be that Perse just meant he was getting annoyed?

If this top player holds a grudge against her, how is she supposed to get by in this circle?

The whole world wants us to get back together, but we never even dated in the first place :)

Blurb from the heroine's perspective. The hero is head over heels.
