After We Reunited, My Secret Crush Confessed to Me

The most heavily flamed top streamer in THE WORLD game held a ranked livestream after the World Championship ended and the domestic team lost.

Things got off to a bad start. Jiang Yan had kept the hunter occupied for long enough, but his trolling teammates set him up, and he was about to be killed with a single hit.

A random teammate who'd been silent all game suddenly used a skill to appear right in front of Jiang Yan from miles away, blocking the fatal blow.

[You have time to screw over your dad, but no time to show filial piety?]

[Your dad can put up with it, but I can't.]

The cool-headed random teammate sprang to Jiang Yan's defense, rapidly typing in the game chat to rebel on his behalf, then kicking one of the trolling teammates out to take the hit.

With no room left to show off, Jiang Yan turned to the livestream and said carelessly, [No wonder you all think people who play the Oracle are hot and keep saying you want to marry them. Who could resist?]

[I would put on a wedding dress and beg to marry him right now.]

Ignoring the stream's chorus of teasing, Jiang Yan quickly left the match after winning. But the person everyone had been "desperately trying to marry" in the previous game caught him and invited him into a room.

The random guy, thousands of miles away, turned on his microphone in front of everyone watching the livestream. His voice was instantly recognizable: "Brother Yan, it's me. Can I add you as a friend?"

Jiang Yan recognized the voice as soon as he opened his mic. ?

Wait, aren't we sworn enemies? Don't you hate my guts? How did you recognize me?

Completely baffled, Jiang Yan's brain crashed. He kicked out the network cable and disconnected.

The next day, the trending topic read: [Breaking! Sworn enemies run into each other in a match. After losing the World Championship, Lin Xu takes the initiative to...]

This very public "confession" asking to add each other as friends caused a huge uproar, with fans on both sides arguing endlessly.

One side said the other team's star was shameless, using the World Championship loss to latch on and generate buzz to cover up the scandals.

The other side said their star was too guilty and ashamed to face an old friend, and could only kick out the network cable and run away.

Neither side expected their idols to betray them so spectacularly. The two secretly got in touch, and when the off-season ended, they became teammates and the best of buddies, with Jiang Yan being the one who chased his way onto the team.

Fans: ...

After being benched for two full years, Jiang Yan joined Lin Xu's team, and the outside world began singing their doom in every possible way.

But when the two worked together in perfect sync, fighting their way from the autumn season to the World Championship title, people finally remembered that these "sworn enemies" had once been childhood sweethearts and the "perfect duo."
