| Marry Me, I'm Super Well-Behaved [Esports] (MARRY ME) |
Ning Nanzhou didn’t feel much about it; if anything, the other seemed even more polite now.
Returning to his dorm, he resumed his livestream. The moment he logged in, he was greeted by a barrage of complaints.
[Son, didn’t you say you’d stream in the afternoon? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?]
[Who was it that promised to stream more this month? A man’s words are as deceitful as a ghost’s! I’m unfollowing you!]
[South’s been missing from streams a lot lately. Something’s up, huh?]
Ning Nanzhou was well aware of his online friends' tendencies—they loved exaggerating tenfold. Even though he’d streamed all night yesterday, they were still complaining.
Unfazed, he turned on his mic and said, "Unfollow if you want. It’s not like I’m begging you to watch. Feel free to follow other streamers."
With that, he logged into the game and clicked on matchmaking.
[??? You ungrateful brat!!!]
[Hah, you think I’ll unfollow just because you told me to? Not a chance! I’ll wait for the day South obediently cross-dresses!]
[I miss the old pure and cute streamer who’d count sheep when asked or watch videos on demand. Now he just roasts me till my liver hurts. Can’t Chi Yu do something about this?]
The lingering warmth of Chi Yu’s fingertips on his hair made his ears flush slightly, but it didn’t stop him from muting everyone who mentioned cross-dressing.
The game matched successfully in five minutes, and they entered the hero selection phase.
He had expected the new hero to be highly contested, so he was ready to lock in immediately. To his surprise, no one else picked it.
Ning Nanzhou selected the hero and entered the game. "Is the Magician really this unpopular? He’s way more fun than Sabert!"
[Fun, sure, but his win rate is abysmal.]
[Mages usually go mid-lane, but his HP is the lowest among all heroes. The margin for error is tiny—one misstep and it’s a team wipe.]
[Ehh, I don’t think he’s that fun either. Sure, you can consume mana to create a Clone, but the Clone doesn’t auto-attack. You have to control both the main body and the Clone simultaneously. What kind of genius could pull that off?]
Just as the chat was lamenting, the young man cleared the minion wave to reach level six, unlocked his Talent Skill, and summoned a Clone. With a two-on-one assault, he caught the enemy Top Laner completely off guard!
The livestream chat fell silent.
[I suspect that last comment was posted by South himself.]
[Don’t blame me! This account’s been watching grad school prep streams every day—no way it’s South!]
[Dammit! He’s showing off again.]
If this move alone had merely impressed the viewers, what came next left them utterly stunned.
After being caught off guard once, the enemy Top Laner became much more cautious around South, retreating under the tower after clearing minions to avoid being flanked again.
Ning Nanzhou seemed somewhat bored and created another clone—not his own, but that of a jungle monster.
[??? What is he doing?!]
[Even though it can transform into a jungle monster, jungle monsters deal very little damage, right? And they’re fragile too. If it dies, the main body dies as well. Isn’t this just feeding the enemy?]
[You really aren’t afraid of your teammates reporting you, huh?]
Ning Nanzhou paid no attention to the barrage of comments. This was exactly what made the hero fun to play.
He controlled the little jungle monster and hopped into the enemy’s jungle area, bouncing around to lure the opposing Jungler. Afraid the enemy might miss it, he deliberately wiggled his butt in front of them—no way they wouldn’t take the bait!
Sure enough, the enemy Jungler, seeing such an easy kill, came after him without any caution. That’s when his main body, hidden in the bushes, struck.
[Congratulations on killing "Yingyingying Don’t Eat the Bunny!"]
[??? You can do that??!]
[Savage, absolutely savage.]
[I was feeling bad for the enemy Jungler at first, but then I saw the ID—serves them right!]
[??? What do you mean "serves them right"? Does the internet just hate bunnies now?]
[No, it’s just that we love bunnies too much—spicy rabbit, mala rabbit, cold rabbit, roasted rabbit legs, spicy rabbit heads… drools]
By the end of the match, Ning Nanzhou was getting the hang of it, turning his two-win streak into three, then four, then five…
Truth be told, he was starting to feel a bit tired by the end. The higher the stakes, the more focus it required. But thinking of Chi Yu adjusting his tie, he rubbed his sore wrist and pushed on.
Just as he was two wins away from a hundred-game streak, a sudden notification popped up in the background.
—Due to an oversight by our staff, an extra line was mistakenly added to the event page. We hereby remove the clause: "Players who achieve a 100-win streak with the Magician will automatically win the event." We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused!
[Huh? They can just change the rules mid-event?]
[My boy’s been grinding for so long…]
[Even though my son is unfilial, I’m so mad right now!]
Ning Nanzhou stared at the gift in his shopping cart, calmly finished the last two matches, then dialed the event’s support hotline. Nothing was going to stop him from giving Chi Yu that gift.
A sweet female voice answered the phone, "Hello, how may I assist you today?"
"Put your supervisor on the phone," Ning Nanzhou said bluntly.
"Our supervisor is quite busy at the moment," the customer service rep replied smoothly. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I’m live right now," Ning Nanzhou said without lifting an eyelid. "Are you sure you want to discuss with me how your supervisor is keeping a mistress?"
[??? What kind of tea is this?!]
[It’s late at night—can’t you let people sleep?!]
[I want to hear! I want to hear!!!]
The next second, the customer service rep was gone, replaced by a middle-aged man.
"Kid, you can’t just go around saying things like that!"
Ning Nanzhou raised an eyebrow. "What did I say that was wrong? Changing the rules on a whim just to favor someone—who else could it be for but your precious darling?"
The supervisor choked on his words.
The event had indeed been set up to promote a promising streamer. After the entire team got wrecked by the Magician, they added the little easter egg about a 100-win streak—who knew someone would actually pull it off?!
But he couldn’t admit that outright. Feigning ignorance, he said, "The rule change was due to a staff oversight. We sincerely apologize for any losses incurred and will provide appropriate compensation."
Ning Nanzhou laughed at the word "discretion": "I've won a hundred matches in a row, and now I have to consider your feelings to claim my own reward? I did say something wrong earlier—"
Before the person in charge could breathe a sigh of relief, the youthful voice on the phone sounded utterly innocent: "You might not necessarily be keeping a mistress—after all, we should respect different orientations."
"Are you keeping a muscular hunk or a delicate male model? Do you prefer top or bottom? With a mouth that stubborn, you must like bottom, right!"

[The organizer’s face must be green with rage by now!]
The organizer’s face wasn’t green yet, but it was close.
How dare this little brat push his luck like this? Did he really think this was some ivory tower where he wouldn’t face retaliation or be blacklisted?
But then the young man continued, “An 8,000-yuan prize isn’t enough to make someone famous, and the event’s exposure isn’t high either. The real reward should be that mysterious guest.”
“Hmm? Who could it be?” the boy mused aloud. “The top streamers didn’t join this event, yet you confidently claimed you could make someone big—even changing the rules mid-event to do it. That means the guest must have enough influence to boost mid-tier streamers. There aren’t many candidates who fit that description.”
The organizer’s heart pounded in fear.
This event had deliberately excluded top streamers to promote promising newcomers, but if other streamers found out…
He couldn’t let him keep talking!
The organizer closed his eyes and conceded, “It’s Chi Shen.”
The white-haired streamer, who had been chattering nonstop, instantly fell silent. After a pause, he spoke up, “On second thought, an adult content streamer like me isn’t worthy of a collab with Chi Shen! Let’s leave this opportunity for someone more deserving.”
[??? Son, have you lost your mind??? That’s Chi Shen! The Chi Shen you’ve loved for three years!!]
[Son, blink twice if you’re being held hostage!]
[Damn it! Did the platform threaten you? Screw them—just switch platforms!]
Sigh. He wasn’t being threatened—he was just afraid of being exposed.
Even if his voice wouldn’t be recognizable through the mic, there was always a chance. Too risky!
Besides, the organizer had a sudden attack of conscience and compensated him with 10,000 yuan—enough to buy gifts and Chi Yu’s new merch!
But his online friends were furious, so he had to come up with a reasonable explanation {>~<}.
His tone turned solemn. “I wasn’t threatened by this dumb platform. It’s just that my reputation is too bad. Collabing with Chi Shen would tarnish his image. I’ll appear before him once I’ve made it big.”
He knew his chat would explode—things like “Even a yellow streamer has a heart”—but he never expected his fans to spam Chi Yu’s stream.
[Chi Shen, please notice South! He stayed up for three days straight playing matches for you, winning a hundred in a row with a trash hero like Magician.]
[He could’ve collabed with you, but he felt his bad reputation made him unworthy, so he gave the chance to the platform’s favored streamer.]
[South wants to prove himself before appearing before you, but with that mouth of his, wuwuwu, he’ll get banned before he even gets famous.]
South himself: “…” No need to curse your dad like that.
After finishing his afternoon classes, he opened his stream as usual. Just as he was about to queue for ranked, the chat exploded.
[Chi Shen is live!]
[Why are you queueing? Go watch him now, you fool!!!]
[You’re still not going? Do you really want to die alone?!]
Ning Nanzhou merely replied with an “Oh” and calmly pressed the queue button.
Trying to trick him with anything else might work, but tricking him into thinking Chi Shen was live? Everyone knew Chi Yu only streamed at the end of the month. He remembered every single one of his streams—he could wake up at 3 AM just to watch!
[??? You don’t believe us? Did you forget about the last trending topic?]
[I swear on my calculus grade that this is real!!!]
[I swear on my Haitang bookshelf that this is real!!!]
"Right, right, Chi Shen is live now." Ning Nanzhou focused on selecting his hero. "I'll watch after I reach King rank. What hero do you guys want to see?"
[??? No gratitude at all, and now you're being sarcastic? What a little brat!]
[And Chi Shen actually came to your stream!!!]
[Really? Chi Shen never visits other streams!]
[Oh my god, he's really here!!!]
[What the hell am I seeing!!!]
If his online friends kept spamming, Ning Nanzhou might eventually cave and take a look—after all, it could just be a platform event. But he absolutely did not believe Chi Yu would ever watch his stream.
Feeling more confident after some practice, he boldly declared, "What would Chi Shen be doing in my stream? To hear me call him 'hubby'?"
Since Chi Yu wouldn’t be streaming anyway, the boy paid no mind—until he caught a notification in the top-right corner and promptly fell off his chair with a loud thud!
[FKW.Caesar has entered your stream.]
Though the other said nothing, the memory of Chi Yu ruffling his hair made his face burn as he scrambled back up. "Welcome... Chi Shen, to my stream."
