In the fan tournament streaming room-
Shen Qiao was sitting in a gaming chair, wearing his headphones. His camera was on, and his upper body was actually visible for once. It was rare for him to turn on his camera of his own volition during livestreams, so the chat quickly filled up with people shrieking and sending screen-licking emojis.

What got the fans even more worked up was that Shen Qiao was wearing an especially attractive silk shirt that day. It was half black and half blue, with a smattering of white that looked like ink splattered across the fabric, creating the shape of branches and leaves. The wild sort of pattern emphasized Shen Qiao's own wild temperament, while the high-quality material of the shirt made him look quite noble as well.

He had already logged in for the tournament, using an alt account provided by the team. All the champions were unlocked on that account, and of course Lu Zhe was offered the same conditions.

However...

[Wolf Cub, did you and Captain Lu get matching couple's IDs on purpose? One of you is called A Rabbit Who Loves To Eat Carrots and one of you is called A Carrot Who Loves To Eat Rabbits. You guys are a perfect set.]

[It's not just their IDs! I just came from Dog Lu's livestream, and he's wearing a flashy shirt like this too. Save me, why are you two showing off so much! Why do I have to eat dog food when I'm just trying to watch an esports player stream!]

[Just signed up for Old Wo and Er-Hua's tournament yesterday, that was fun. Now I'm here to mess with Dog Lu and Wolf Cub.]

[Wolf Cub! Husband! Good afternoon!]

[You up there, stand down. He's not your husband anymore. He's Dog Lu's husband!]

[Will you give us some fanservice if you win today? Like, maybe a kiss in front of the camera?]

Shen Qiao saw that the number of comments about him and Lu Zhe was growing steadily. He cleared his throat and interrupted, "The club gave us these accounts, and we just happened to buy the clothes at the same store. It isn't a couple outfit."

[Did you buy those rings from the same store too?]

[Did you buy those rings from the same store too? +1]

[Did you buy those rings from the same store too? +1284698]

Shen Qiao glanced over at Lu Zhe, who was sitting a fair distance away from him. Although today's tournament was just for fun, Manager Zhou had still arranged seats that would preserve the integrity of the game for them.

As a result, Shen Qiao couldn't see if Lu Zhe's fans were behaving the same way in his chat. He decided to just change the subject, saying, "We still have five minutes before the game starts. I'll play a song for you guys. What kind of music do you want to listen to?"

[If you sing it! We'll listen to any kind of music!]

[We like the music that's sung by you!]

Shen Qiao fell silent.

He turned a blind eye to those teasing comments and opened up his music player on his computer, putting on a song called 'faded'.

On the other side-

Lu Zhe smoothed out his bangs. A bright, carefree smile lit up his face as he picked out the comments from his chat that he could answer.

"Our clothes? We got them at the same store. I noticed he hadn't bought many clothes this season, and since we haven't had any tournament games on our schedule lately, I dragged him out to shop yesterday."

"The watch? Mm, it's a lovers' bridge. Who's it from? A lovers' bridge watch can only be from a lover, right? Do you even need to ask? As for who that 'lover' is, I'm the only one who needs to know. Why should I tell you?"
