Sneaking Glances at You

In the Game for Peace community, Wen You is a legend known to everyone. Her shooting is razor-sharp and her strategies unconventional. Countless teams have invited her to join, but she has always done as she pleased, quietly roaming high-ranked matches. Shen Zechuan is just as formidable and has even received an invitation to try out for a professional club. But with a comfortable family background, he has never planned to go pro. To him, gaming is just a way to pass the time.

Before then, the two had never met online, let alone crossed paths in real life. One day, a mutual friend brought them together for a squad match. They were at odds from the start, criticizing each other's playstyles and complaining that the other was too reckless or too cautious. Neither would back down, yet they unexpectedly clicked, working together in perfect sync and making it to the final circle time and again.

After that, they often teamed up, and bickering became the norm. Every timely covering shot, precise callout, and bit of cover in a moment of danger quietly stirred something more between them. Shen Zechuan fell first, carefully hiding his feelings in their island matches, in the supplies he casually let Wen You have, and in the way he always had her back. He kept his love to himself, never letting it show.

Fate had a clever twist in store. When they ran into each other on campus, they were stunned to realize that their online rival was a fellow student at their school. Their arguments over wins and losses in the game and their passing encounters on campus brought their online and offline lives together. Their rivalry as skilled players had yet to fade, while the feelings in their hearts slowly grew. A secret crush that began on the island and stayed hidden on campus had only just begun.
