Yu Nuo’s dorm internet suddenly cut out for some unknown reason.

The livestream froze.

Her phone automatically switched to 4G. When she got back in, the comments were all saying:

[Fish Boss who loves eating, send more gifts!]

[Hahahahaha they left, how funny]

[Chen: Do you care about looks? Boss: Not necessary.]

[Has Fish Boss who loves eating arrived? She’s here, she’s here again!!!!]

Yu Nuo was startled – why were they all spamming her name?

The comments were urging her to send another gift.

Yu Nuo opened her ZhanYu backpack and found no gifts left, only some free glow sticks.

She sent several hundred of them.

Just then, Chen Yuzheng’s game screen went black.

The system notified him that he died.

Some comments floated by:

[Did your heart flutter? Hands shaking? Can’t operate properly?]

Behind her, Liang Xi leaned over, “What are you doing?”

“Hm?” Yu Nuo lifted her phone to show her, “…watching a livestream.”

“Whose?” Liang Xi took her phone and looked for a while, “Ah, him? He’s quite handsome?”

Yu Nuo: “?”

The phone returned to her hands.

Chen Yuzheng’s short hair fell across his forehead. He curved his fingers, adjusting the camera position, showing his full side profile.

After respawning in the game, he was busy buying equipment and had no time to read comments.

[We begged you all evening? You finally showed your face]

[666666666]

[This is quite…sudden….which runaway celebrity quit showbiz to become a streamer???]

[Ahhhhh I can’t take it can’t take it, your eyes are so pleasing, so handsome, hubby you’re so handsome!!!!]

A few minutes passed.

Chen Yuzheng cleared minions while saying: “What did Fish Lover send? I didn’t see.”

The comments answered for Yu Nuo: “Several hundred glow sticks…”

“That many?” Chen Yuzheng made a non-committal sound, “Then let’s make the boss a room admin later.”

The stream’s fans thought he was new to ZhanYu and didn’t understand, they all explained:

[Are you serious???? Bro, these are free gifts, they don’t cost money!!]

[Several hundred glow sticks plus one airplane equals room admin? That’s not right.]

[Help, who exactly is this Fish Lover??]

[Glow sticks?? If you want to make someone admin just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush.]

The stream was flooded with airplanes and glow sticks being sent.

Chen Yuzheng focused on playing the game. Even as the stream turned into an airport, he never mentioned making anyone admin again.

Several days passed, Yu Nuo checked the calendar and realized Yu Ge’s birthday was coming up.

She specifically consulted A Wen about it.

A Wen recommended several brands with balanced sensitivity, smoothness and overall feel.

Yu Nuo had analysis paralysis. After careful consideration, she finally ordered a customized keyboard from a fruit company’s website as this year’s birthday gift for Yu Ge.

After buying it, she suddenly remembered the keyboard Chen Yuzheng used during his stream the other day.

Yu Nuo felt conflicted, still worried about how expensive the bracelet he gave her was.

After much deliberation, she ordered another mechanical keyboard similar to Yu Ge’s.

She planned to find a chance to give it to him later, to make up for the price difference of the bracelet so she wouldn’t feel guilty anymore.

The LPL was currently in off-season, with teams training at their bases while fulfilling streaming hours. Yu Nuo was also on break.

One afternoon, just after Yu Nuo finished her nap, Xiang Jiajia suddenly messaged her on WeChat:

“Nuo Nuo, do you have time? Can you help me with something?”

Yu Nuo: “What is it?”

Xiang Jiajia: “Well, PR wants to make a documentary about the Spring Split. I’ve been busy for two days but we’re short on video editors and can’t keep up. I remembered you know post-production from when we went to Chengdu!! I thought of you!”

Yu Nuo hesitated: “I can help, but I might not be very professional…TvT”

Xiang Jiajia immediately replied: “That’s fine!!! Really sorry to trouble you!”

Yu Nuo: “No problem, when do you need it by?”

Xiang Jiajia: “Are you free now? Since it’s Friday, we want to finish it this afternoon and post it tonight”

Yu Nuo got up from bed and tidied herself.

Looking outside, the weather seemed okay. She changed into a white long-sleeve shirt and jeans, then took a taxi to the TG base.

At the base entrance, Yu Nuo’s steps faltered.

A skinny cat was curled up by the flower bed, meowing and whimpering.

There were many stray cats near Yu Nuo’s university too. She and her roommates felt bad for them and would often feed them. Over time, she got into the habit of carrying bread in her bag.

Yu Nuo lowered her head, took out the bread, crumbled it in her palm, and squatted down to patiently feed the stray cat.

The kitten lay on the grass, a bit shy, baring its teeth and meowing at her a few times.

Yu Nuo extended her index finger, testing a few times before rubbing its forehead, while making meowing sounds to comfort it.

Watching it eat, she also opened a bottle of mineral water, poured some into the cap for the cat to lap up.

“Hey.”

Someone called her, Yu Nuo turned her head in confusion.

Chen Yuzheng had been watching for an unknown time. He walked over slowly with a cup of coffee, “What are you doing?”

Yu Nuo stood up from the ground, pointing to show him: “I’m feeding the cat.”

“Oh…”

Chen Yuzheng lowered his gaze to examine the ugly cat.

Yu Nuo remembered something when she saw him.

She had specifically brought her usual school sports backpack today to carry the keyboard. Since no one else was around, Yu Nuo took off her backpack and took out the keyboard, “Oh right, this is for you.”

Chen Yuzheng didn’t take it, “What is it?”

“I bought you a keyboard.”

Chen Yuzheng raised an eyebrow, “Why did you buy me a keyboard?”

“Um…” Yu Nuo was afraid of hurting his pride, pondered for a moment, “It’s a return gift for the bracelet you gave me.”

Chen Yuzheng looked at her expression and understood, “You watched my stream that day?”

“I did.” Yu Nuo said, “Didn’t I send you gifts too, don’t you remember?”

Chen Yuzheng reached out his right hand to take it, looked at the brand on the packaging box, “Thanks, boss.”

Yu Nuo quickly said: “Don’t call me that.”

Chen Yuzheng: “Then what should I call you?”

“My name is fine.”

“Fish Lover?”

“Yu Nuo…”

Chen Yuzheng seemed a bit curious and asked again, “How much was this keyboard?”

“Not expensive.”

“How much?”

Yu Nuo gave a number: “One or two thousand.”

“That’s not expensive?” Chen Yuzheng casually said, “I used to use ones that cost a few hundred.”

Yu Nuo was stumped by this response, hesitated for a moment before carefully comforting him, “It’s okay, you just started your pro career, my brother when he first started was also kind of…”

Chen Yuzheng pondered: “Kind of what?”

Yu Nuo felt she had said something wrong, struggled before squeezing out a word: “Tight on money…”

After a pause, Chen Yuzheng suddenly realized, “Tight on money?”

“No no, that’s not what I meant.” Yu Nuo saw his expression change slightly and explained, “You’re still young, it’s normal to be a bit tight on money…if you play well, you’ll earn money in the future.”

Chen Yuzheng nodded.

“So…” Yu Nuo said, “Don’t buy such expensive bracelets in the future.”

Chen Yuzheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, “The bracelet? I bought it on credit.”

“Ah!” Yu Nuo was shocked, “You bought it on credit?”

Her mind quickly jumped to all those stories of young people taking loans going down bad paths.

Chen Yuzheng was very calm: “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

Yu Nuo became anxious: “Then you should return it, I, I really don’t need it.”

Chen Yuzheng watched her getting worked up while maintaining his unbothered demeanor.

She worriedly took out her phone: “Let me check if this can still be returned?”

Chen Yuzheng smiled ambiguously: “Why are you so gullible? You believe everything I say.”

…

…

They had just entered when they ran into Killer.

Killer made an ambiguous “oh” sound, “Why are you two together?”

Chen Yuzheng remained silent while Yu Nuo said, “We just ran into each other at the entrance.”

Killer noticed what Chen Yuzheng was holding and casually asked: “What’s that you’re carrying?”

Chen Yuzheng’s lips curved slightly upward: “A gift from a female fan.”

Yu Nuo: “……”

TG’s official Weibo posted the competition documentary promptly at 6 PM.

After about ten minutes, they posted another Easter egg Weibo. It contained over ten photos, including not just team members but also team leaders and various behind-the-scenes staff.

In the middle photo.

Under the wind-blown trees, a long-haired girl slightly tilted her head up, standing on tiptoes to tie a red string with a wish card to the tree branches.

The next photo showed the wish card, with neat handwriting that read:

“I hope one day, they can be seen by everyone.”

Soon, the comments were asking:

[Who is this young lady? She’s so thoughtful!]

The official account replied: [She’s one of our TG staff~]

[This photo is so beautiful!!!!!!]

[These words are so touching….I also hope that the young people I love will one day be seen by everyone.]

Afterwards, several TG members liked this Weibo post.

Including Chen Yuzheng.

Yu Nuo stayed to help Ying Jiajia until almost 8-9 PM.

It had just rained. Two street lights at the base entrance were broken, so Yu Nuo walked forward in the darkness.

There was a step ahead, and while going down, Yu Nuo accidentally slipped and lost her balance, falling onto the cement ground.

A sharp pain shot through her, Yu Nuo grimaced as she struggled to get up from the ground.

There were no taxis around at this hour.

She felt that both her feet were sprained. She squatted down, turned on her phone’s flashlight to examine her injuries.

Rolling up her pant leg, her knee had a large scrape that was starting to bleed.

She reached out to touch it, finding it slightly swollen.

Yu Nuo rested by the roadside for a while when a car stopped in front of her and honked.

She looked up.

The window rolled down and Chen Yuzheng asked: “What happened to you?”

Yu Nuo answered through the pain: “I just fell, I think I sprained my foot…”

He opened the car door and got out.

Yu Nuo remembered something as another wave of pain shot through her ankle, making her softly gasp.

Chen Yuzheng squatted beside her, examined for a while, and asked: “Can you still stand up?”

Yu Nuo forced out: “I can…”

Chen Yuzheng extended his hand.

He bent down slightly, accommodating her height.

Yu Nuo froze for a moment, then gritted her teeth, grabbed his arm, and used his strength to stand up from the ground.

She softly said thank you.

In the darkness, Chen Yuzheng’s expression wasn’t very clear. She saw him frown slightly, “Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

—

At this hour in the suburbs, there were few cars on the road, so Chen Yuzheng turned on his high beams.

All the windows were rolled down, and Yu Nuo’s hair was flying wildly in the wind. She nervously gripped the seatbelt.

At a curve, she took a deep breath and couldn’t help saying: “Can you, can you drive slower?”

The car slowed down at a red light and stopped.

Chen Yuzheng seemed unconcerned, one hand on the steering wheel, fingers slowly tapping it. His other hand propped up his head, “Scared?”

Yu Nuo caught her breath: “Can you, can you use both hands to drive? I feel it’s a bit dangerous.”

The light turned green.

He noticed her reaction and smiled, stepping on the gas pedal. The car roared and accelerated again.

Yu Nuo was startled, realized he was doing it on purpose, and felt a bit desperate, “The road is slippery from the rain, please be careful.”

The car finally slowed down.

Yu Nuo asked: “Where did you go just now? How come you were driving back?”

“Had dinner with friends.”

Yu Nuo nodded, didn’t ask anything else.

After fixing her wind-blown hair, she suddenly thought of a serious question: “By the way, do you have a driver’s license?”

Chen Yuzheng continued driving, answering matter-of-factly: “No.”

Yu Nuo was shocked, “That’s not good, is it?”

Chen Yuzheng glanced at her: “You believe everything I say?”

Yu Nuo: “……”

That line again.

After the tension eased, she relaxed against the seat back and started examining the car’s decorations.

There was an intricate figurine on the center console wearing a TG uniform with “Conquer” written on it.

Yu Nuo looked at it for a few seconds and made a sound of surprise, “Is this your car?”

“What else?”

Hearing his answer, Yu Nuo’s expression suddenly became very strange.

She secretly glanced at the logo on the steering wheel.

If she wasn’t mistaken…. it should be a very expensive brand.

Thinking about how she had rambled on comforting him earlier that morning, Yu Nuo felt a bit….

Chen Yuzheng seemed to know what she was thinking and said: “Bought it on credit.”

Yu Nuo: “……?”

Not sure if he was mocking her. Yu Nuo sat uncomfortably, forcing a smile: “You really like joking around.”

Chen Yuzheng turned the steering wheel, “What, you don’t believe me?”

“Um…” Yu Nuo pressed on reluctantly, “You were so serious this morning when you said the bracelet was bought on credit, I thought you weren’t joking with me.”

Chen Yuzheng laughed, “Didn’t I say before.”

“What?”

Chen Yuzheng watched the road ahead, “I’m not as miserable as you think.”

—

At the hospital, the doctor examined her injuries and wrote a prescription for a CT scan.

When the results came back, Yu Nuo had some minor fractures in her feet.

The left foot was okay, but the right foot was more serious. Fortunately, she didn’t need a cast.

The doctor looked at her, “You should stay home and rest for the next few days, don’t move around. Is there someone who can take care of you?”

Yu Nuo: “I’m still in school, living in the dorms.”

“Then you should take some time off, better not get out of bed this week.”

As they were talking, Chen Yuzheng pushed open the door, holding the payment receipt he had just settled.

The doctor tidied up the desk, “Alright, go home with your boyfriend.”

Yu Nuo felt awkward hearing this title, “He’s not my boyfriend.”

The doctor looked them over again, unconcerned, “Oh, are you siblings then?”

Chen Yuzheng answered: “Sister and brother.”

The doctor nodded, “Alright, take your sister home then. Don’t let her move around these few days.”

The two left the office.

Chen Yuzheng leisurely followed beside Yu Nuo, watching her struggle to move. Both her feet were injured so she couldn’t stay steady, only able to use the wall for support.

Chen Yuzheng deliberately asked: “Sister, can you still walk?”

Yu Nuo: “……”

She said: “It feels weird when you call me sister.”

Chen Yuzheng moved in front of her, half-squatting down, turning his head to look at her, “Get on.”

Yu Nuo couldn’t possibly do that, immediately waving her hands in refusal: “No need, I can walk by myself.”

“You want to walk until tomorrow?”

…

…

Although they had physical contact last time, Chen Yuzheng wasn’t fully conscious then. Now both of them were clear-headed.

Chen Yuzheng’s hands supported under her thighs, Yu Nuo’s face grew hot as she leaned back as much as possible to minimize contact with him.

Chen Yuzheng wore a jacket with a low-neck t-shirt underneath. Her wrist accidentally brushed against his collarbone. Yu Nuo felt uncomfortable and pulled her hand back slightly.

Chen Yuzheng bounced her up once, “Don’t move around, you’ll fall off.”

Yu Nuo didn’t dare touch him anymore. She crossed her hands in front of his neck without finding a good grip point, which was actually quite tiring for her too.

The underground parking lot was very quiet. Their breathing was close enough to hear. Yu Nuo looked at his side profile and asked worriedly, “Am I very heavy?”

“A bit.”

“……”

She was left speechless by his response.

Yu Nuo remembered something: “Oh right, how much were the medical fees just now? I’ll transfer it to you later.”

“No need.” Chen Yuzheng stopped walking, “Just send some gifts in my livestream when you have time.”

Yu Nuo: “……”

He freed one hand to reach for his keys.

Yu Nuo didn’t dare squeeze his waist with her legs at all. When his hand let go, she immediately slipped and almost fell.

Chen Yuzheng barely caught her, turning his head slightly: “Help me get the keys.”

“Where are they?”

“Jacket pocket, left side.”

Yu Nuo looked down and reached out to feel for them.

His pocket was quite deep, she had trouble searching for a while.

Chen Yuzheng lazily called out to her, “Sister.”

Yu Nuo’s movements froze.

She suddenly realized her hand was in an awkward position.

Just as she was about to move away, she heard him ask–

“What are you touching?”
