Hello, My Blue Buff

Blurb: [Rekindled Romance + Esports + School Life] Expected to go VIP on August 21

In their first year of high school, Jin Yao said, "You're such a princess. You're so annoying." Qiao Xinqi then vanished from his world for good.

Later, he stood dazed on the esports world championship podium, his eyes reddening as he looked at the only empty seat in the audience.

His childhood sweetheart should have been sitting there.

When Qiao Xinqi learned that her gaming partner was Jin Yao, she stared at the game ID in front of her, [Shengsheng Ru Qiao], and sneered. "So the champion can play games, but can't apologize?"

Jin Yao lowered his eyes and clasped her wrist as she tried to flee. "If apologizing could bring you back, I'd say it ten thousand times."

Only later did she learn:

His ID, "Shengsheng Ru Qiao," was a homophone for "Shengsheng Ru Qiao," meaning "forever like Qiao." It was the thought he clung to before every match.

The Star-Tailed Bunny she'd given him always sat on his sofa at home, even though he hadn't won a single scrimmage since she left.

The "mysterious empty seat" that went viral the night he won the championship was the seat he'd saved for her himself.

[Bonus Scene]

In the King's Canyon, the top-ranked Zhou Yu player in China, using the ID [Shengsheng Ru Qiao], unleashed skill after skill on Qiao Xinqi's Xiao Qiao.

Teammate: Zhou Yu, why are you setting your own wife on fire?

Jin Yao: I'm teaching her. When old flames reunite, either burn the other person to death or burn yourself to death.

Qiao Xinqi: ...Shut up and take down the tower.
