The Esports Scene's Beloved Darling [Esports]

In the World Cup S3 season, An Qin made it all the way to the World Cup finals with an outdated swordsman whose stats had been cut in half.

At the last moment, a teammate blundered under pressure, costing them the championship, and An Qin retired with regrets.

Three years later, An Qin returned as a top-tier gaming streamer. He had been streaming for less than a month when his old friends and teammates from three years ago began kissing him one after another.

In a post-match interview, they were asked what they thought of An Qin.

The daddy-type national-ranked top laner chuckled. "An Qin? Soft little An?"

"I'd like to tell him one thing: no more acting cute."

"Because if he does it again, I'll turn gay."

The flirtatious national-ranked marksman sighed. "Let's put it this way: I've been flirting with him for four years, and he's still as dense as a log."

"Actually, that's not right. Even a log can get moldy. He can't."

"Last time, I sent him a fanfic about the two of us and asked what he thought."

"He told me to get something decent to eat."

Late at night, the national-ranked support who once fought alongside him stood outside his front door, his expression dark, like a shadow that wouldn't leave the crack in the doorway.

"You said you liked gentle guys, so I've learned to be gentle. But you still never seem to give me even a little extra affection."

When the national-ranked jungler who had returned to the country was asked why, he looked up coolly and dropped a bombshell.

"I came back to see my first love."

Three years ago, a pro esports player had confessed to An Qin and brazenly asked if he wanted to date.

That alone was bad enough, but the guy was a man!

An Qin laughed in anger and issued a harsh challenge on the spot: "When you become a national-ranked jungler, I'll seriously consider your request."

Everyone knows that the first step to becoming a national-ranked jungler is to take his place.

Three years later, they met again in an underground parking garage. The man passed him, radiating coldness, and said casually, "I asked you once three years ago, and you didn't say yes."

"What about now? Will you date me?"

An Qin: "..."

Remembering the man's terrifying record and titles, An Qin's head spun. He felt like dying a little.

Sometimes, you really shouldn't say things without thinking.

Not long afterward, netizens began to notice something was off.

An Qin had been playing duo queue every day for the past two weeks.

There was nothing strange about the jungle king duo-queueing, even if he brought along a mage king to support him. Ranking up would be a breeze.

But once they saw the other player's ID, the audience felt as if their throats had closed up.

Two jungle kings? In duo queue?

Holy crap! This is a weak patch for junglers. What kind of double-jungle combo are you trying to pull off?

Two junglers, both strong | The whole esports scene's darling | Irresistible to everyone

The slightly aloof, national-ranked jungler who is the perfect counter to the protagonist × the ridiculously handsome, soft-hearted jungle king who flirts without realizing it and loves acting cute

Content warnings:

· 400,000 words, sweet romance, irresistible to everyone.

· The main love interest appears late. The early chapters have a chaotic mix of pairings.

· The game is based on Honor of Kings; everything else is made up.

· I write whatever comes to mind (and have fun doing it).

My next novel: "Conquest of Five Chosen Ones at the Same Time." Feel free to check it out if you're interested.

Theme: Friendship first, competition second.
