| Marry Me, I'm Super Well-Behaved [Esports] (MARRY ME) |
Even though he’d already sent cross-dressing photos, he still couldn’t muster the courage to send one wearing the necklace.
He splashed water on his face and headed to class. Back on campus for Cell Biology, the memory of the cross-dressing incident resurfaced. Casually, he asked Xu Ye beside him:
"What do you think about guys posting cross-dressing photos?"
"Cross-dressing?" Xu Ye smacked his lips. "No decent person would wear that stuff, let alone post pictures."
Ning Nanzhou used to agree with Xu Ye’s stance, but today, the words grated on him.
"Why do you have to phrase it like that? It doesn’t affect you—did they beg you to look or wear it?"
Xu Ye pouted. "Weren’t those your exact words last time? I suggested you cross-dress to gain more followers, and you snapped, ‘No decent person wears that crap. It’s not like all men’s clothing stores went bankrupt.’ Now you’re mad at me for being harsh?"
Ning Nanzhou: "..."
Oh. Right. I did say that.
He suppressed the blush on his ears and continued ranking after class.
Little Dragon Girl sent him a message.
[Little Dragon Girl] I see you’ve been grinding ranked games. Are you trying to join the event on the website’s homepage? Let’s team up.
Chen Long had known South for almost three years and understood how tough it was for him—streaming while studying, unlike other streamers who loved socializing and forming cliques.
The rewards for this event were generous, with the first-place winner even getting a site-wide promotion. Ambitious streamers had already formed teams early on, and Chu Yuan had even teamed up with a member of Blue Flame’s second-string team.
He didn’t think they could beat a professional second-string team, but he couldn’t bear to see the young man grinding ranked games alone.
He told Ning Nanzhou what he knew: “There are already a bunch of Grandmasters, and quite a few Master Tier III players. Some even invited players from Blue Flame’s second-string team—heard they’ve won the secondary league championship. They’re really strong.”
Ning Nanzhou remained unfazed.
Although Blue Flame was a veteran powerhouse, only losing to FKW in the World Championship, even their star player Oliver didn’t seem that impressive to him.
When he carried, he truly carried, but when he fed, he truly fed.
He started duo-queueing with Little Dragon Girl, while Qin Yong’s fans were still taunting him.
[Even with an extra person, you won’t make it to the top 100 on the server]
[Waiting for the day you call me ‘Daddy’]
[Daddy’s watching how you’ll cry]
He ignored these losers and picked the fastest climbing hero, the Holy Knight.
The name alone made it clear this was a warrior hero. There wasn’t much to say about the mechanics—once you gained lane advantage, you just initiated team fights and slashed away.
He and Little Dragon Girl often teamed up in games, so their synergy in team fights was solid. Often, the moment he positioned himself in a gap, Little Dragon Girl knew he was about to engage.
But the enemy AD Carry was a tryhard, cursing every time he died.
[12:07] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Fck your ancestors! Fck your whole family! I just bought the Oathbreaker Blade!
[12:07] Bi Niu Zui Wo: I was just underestimating you earlier. Now I’m going all out. Try killing your grandpa again!
[17:04] Bi Niu Zui Wo has been slain by South!
[17:05] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Fck! Fck! F*ck! Ambushing doesn’t count as skill. Fight me 1v1 if you dare. You’re on my death list now. Prepare to face my wrath!
[21:03] Bi Niu Zui Wo has been slain by South!
[21:03] Bi Niu Zui Wo: You’re done! You’re done! You’re done! Do you even know who you’re messing with? If I don’t make you kneel and call me ‘Daddy,’ I’ll write my name backward!
Qin Yong’s fans practically wanted to send the enemy a commendation banner.
[Eliminating a scourge—feels so good!]
[South finally gets what he deserves]
[Love the trash talk! Keep it coming!]
Even Little Dragon Girl was impressed. “Damn! This guy types so fast—so many messages in a second. But the pinyin is giving me a headache.”
Ning Nanzhou couldn’t be bothered wasting time with a kid and simply replied, “Next game, I’ll carry you.”
The other player immediately sent another message.
[21:04] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Thanks, Dad
[??? Is that all the backbone you have??!]
[I was just praising you, and now you’re kneeling???]
[Damn, I look down on you]
[AD Carries are all spineless!]
Little Dragon Girl asked uneasily, "Are you really gonna play with him?"
Ning Nanzhou ended the game and hummed in agreement.
Though this AD Carry had been raging helplessly in chat, his skill was the strongest Ning Nanzhou had ever seen. His high-risk, high-reward playstyle reminded him of that mixed-race AD Carry from Blue Flame.
But that golden-haired American wolfdog never queued for ranked, claiming only noobs played ranked.
Xiao Qiao, who had just finished a grueling training session and was watching the stream, wasn’t happy. He could accept South playing with old friends, but why would he team up with some keyboard-smashing noob instead of him?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He wanted South to see his skill.
His main account would scare this small-time streamer who’d never seen the big leagues, so he secretly made a smurf and even changed his profile picture to a Nine-tailed Fox—something girls loved.
He queued at the same time as South, but the server was too crowded. After several failed attempts, Xiao Qiao kept exiting and re-entering until his fingers went numb. The moment he saw South’s name in the teammate list, he nearly teared up—he hadn’t been this excited even when winning the S Championship!
To sell his "soft girl" persona, he locked in Nine-tailed Fox and rushed top lane the moment he hit level six.
The noob AD Carry wasn’t pleased.
[11:04] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Fox, whose Support are you?
[11:04] Bi Niu Zui Wo: There are two enemies here, and you’re leaving me to 1v2?
[11:04] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Not that I can’t 1v2, but do you even know how to play?
Xiao Qiao ignored him, focusing entirely on supporting South while typing mid-game.
[12:06] Meng Meng Ya: You’re so good, big bro~
[12:08] Meng Meng Ya: I feel so safe with you, they can’t even touch me hehehe
[12:09] Meng Meng Ya: Can you team up with me, big bro~?
He pulled out all the stops to act cute, thinking South would agree for the sake of a "girl." But the rejection was merciless.
[12:10] South: Stop flirting with a married man.
Xiao Qiao: ??? Since when are you married?!
Luckily, South’s friend took pity and let him join the team. Xiao Qiao played his Support role diligently, but things didn’t go as he expected.
Before he joined, the team won almost every match. After he joined, they started losing more than winning.
Obviously, it couldn’t be his fault.
[15:01] Meng Meng Ya: Are they cheating?
[15:23] Little Dragon Girl: Advent Cheats are expensive, they can’t all be cheating.
[15:49] Bi Niu Zui Wo: Some of these IDs look familiar, played against them a few times. Cheaters should rot.
[16:01] South: Probably getting sniped.
Stream sniping was common—some even gambled on it—but sniping small streamers was rare.
Ning Nanzhou recalled yesterday’s cheating incident and had a rough idea who was behind it.
[Is it Qin Yong’s fans?]
[Sniping in high elo is expensive, they probably can’t afford it.]
[Who says we can’t afford it??? We just don’t wanna spend the money!]
The other two reacted normally, but the hot-tempered AD Carry lost his temper.
[16:01]BullFighter: Dares to snipe me? I'll f*ck his whole family! Wait till I call in a favor, someone owes me one.
Ning Nanzhou raised his elegant brows—was this another elementary school kid?
That "elementary school kid" had quite the attitude, only showing up late at night. Based on his observations, it probably wasn't a kid.
Because the other person could type Chinese characters fluently.
[00:35]South: Middle school?
[00:35]BullFighter: I entered university at seventeen!
[01:34]South: I'm asking about him.
[01:34]BullFighter: He's eighteen.
He didn't believe either of them had attended university—only their ages were probably true.
The new Jungler was quite skilled, a typical tempo-controlling type who completely dominated the enemy's rhythm, securing all three dragons for their team.
Ning Nanzhou wasn't the type to refuse acknowledging others' strengths—because he was strong himself—but this young Jungler was... something else.
He loved imitating Chi Yu.
When Chi Yu played the Harpist, he preferred casting skills in straight lines—this Jungler did the same. Chi Yu liked starting with a Soul Stone—so did this Jungler. Chi Yu bought Sayer's collector's skin—this guy bought it too.
[14:35]South: Hey man, can we talk? Could you stop copying Chi Yu?
The eighteen-year-old Jungler slowly typed out a question mark.
Not knowing whether the other was straight or not, he used the most straightforward analogy possible.
[14:57]South: Imagine your wife swaying in a mini skirt right in front of you. Could you handle that?
The other quickly replied that he understood.
