Yu Nuo looked troubled as she honestly told him: “But I’ve already graduated.”
Chen Yuzheng’s hand paused while dialing the number.
She hesitated before adding: “And our school’s admission score is quite high.”
Implying that even if he repeated a year, he wouldn’t be able to get in.
Chen Yuzheng laughed in disbelief: “What, you look down on me?”
Yu Nuo held back for a moment before laughing too, “I know you’re joking with me, and I’m joking with you too, just teasing you.”
Chen Yuzheng tossed his phone aside.
Yu Nuo thought he was upset, so she quickly moved closer to explain: “I was just joking, don’t be angry.”
He gave her a lazy glance: “You’re that afraid of me getting angry?”
Yu Nuo nodded.
“I am a bit angry,” Chen Yuzheng’s lips curved upward, “Why don’t you give me a kiss to make me feel better?”
Yu Nuo: “………”
There were people all around, and she knew he was deliberately teasing her again.
Although they had established their relationship, when they were alone together, Chen Yuzheng would often say outrageous things without filter. But she could feel that his good upbringing was ingrained in his bones – he was very respectful in his actions, never crossing any lines, maintaining a gentleman’s demeanor.
Yu Nuo stayed quiet, just watching him smile.
Chen Yuzheng wore a proper white shirt, but his smile was wicked, yet still made one’s heart flutter.
Yu Nuo stared at him intently and lowered her voice: “Chen Yuzheng, your smile is really handsome too.”
Chen Yuzheng’s smile disappeared.
The restaurant owner brought the fish to their table, calling out a couple times. Yu Nuo helped him unwrap the chopsticks and sanitized them with hot water.
Chen Yuzheng asked: “Who taught you to like fish?”
Yu Nuo was startled: “What?”
Chen Yuzheng raised his hand, turned his face away, and touched his nose, “Never mind.”
Yu Nuo thought back, “Are you talking about those compliments?”
Her expression remained as sincere as ever: “I didn’t learn it from anyone, I really think that way, you’re handsome.”
Chen Yuzheng: “………”
“You’re not complimenting me, you’re flirting with me, you know?”
“How am I flirting?”
Yu Nuo blinked her round eyes, looking too innocent, pure as an elementary school student. Chen Yuzheng couldn’t continue the conversation with her and picked up his chopsticks, “Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?”
Yu Nuo secretly smiled and made an affirmative sound.
After eating, Yu Nuo walked Chen Yuzheng to the school gate, “I’ll be done with everything soon, and I’ll be free after the graduation ceremony in a few days. When you’re not busy with training, I can come visit you at the base.”
Chen Yuzheng looked down at her: “Should I come to your graduation ceremony?”
Yu Nuo hesitated, thought for a while, and carefully said: “My brother will probably be there….”
“Alright then.”
There was an empty taxi waiting nearby. Yu Nuo let go of his hand. Watching Chen Yuzheng get in the car, Yu Nuo sighed inwardly, feeling a bit reluctant and somewhat… regretful.
She had actually wanted to steal a kiss from Chen Yuzheng before he left, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn’t dare to do it.
Yu Nuo was lost in thought.
…Next time she would definitely be braver.

On Yu Nuo’s official graduation day, Yu Ge came to the school specially to attend her graduation ceremony as family.
She wore her graduation cap, walked onto the stage, and the principal personally moved her tassel and presented her bachelor’s degree certificate. After the usual procedures were completed, the graduation ceremony ended with the entire audience singing the “Graduation Song.”
Following the crowd out of the auditorium, Yu Nuo looked back at the school one last time. A feeling of loss and reluctance welled up in her heart.
Her roommates and several female classmates dragged her to take photos at the sports field and classrooms.
Liang Xi looked back at Yu Ge who was following behind them, unable to contain her excitement as she whispered to Yu Nuo: “Damn, your brother looks even more handsome in person than in photos. I just sent your brother’s photo to my boyfriend, and he’s going crazy, saying he wants to book a flight to come see me now.”
The girls took photos at various scenic spots around the school. When it was time for group photos, someone went up to ask Yu Ge for help. He didn’t refuse and patiently took photos with everyone’s phones.
Some male students recognized Yu Ge on the way and came over to take photos with him.
A female classmate was curious: “Is Yu Nuo’s brother a celebrity? How does he have fans at our school?”
Liang Xi explained: “Her brother is an esports player, he’s very popular recently. You know OG, right? They won MSI earlier, and lots of guys posted about it on their social media.”
The girl pondered: “I think I remember, OG was all over social media at that time. Yu Nuo is too low-key, she never mentioned it before.”
The girls who shared a dorm with Yu Nuo had seen Yu Ge two or three times before and had a deep impression of his ice-cold face and unapproachable aura. They hadn’t expected him to be so approachable, and privately remarked to Yu Nuo: “Your brother seems quite nice, I used to be scared of him before, always feeling like he was about to get angry any second.”
Yu Nuo smiled: “He just doesn’t like talking much normally, so he looks a bit fierce.”
After the fans dispersed, seeing Yu Ge standing alone to the side, Yu Nuo handed her phone to Liang Xi, “Could you help take a photo of me and my brother?”
Liang Xi gladly agreed: “Of course.”
Yu Nuo ran to Yu Ge’s side and naturally linked arms with him, “Brother, let’s take a photo together.”
Under the blue sky and white clouds, Yu Nuo stood on the green grass, holding a bouquet of champagne-colored sunflowers, smiling brightly at the camera. Yu Ge was tall with long legs, hands in his pockets, his facial features still cold but his expression unusually gentle.
…
…
In Yu Ge’s car, Yu Nuo was still immersed in her previous happiness. She placed the flowers on her knees and took photos from several angles with her phone.
When the car started, she turned her head: “By the way, brother, where are we going?”
“Back to the base.”
“Huh?”
“Awen and the others know it’s your graduation today, they asked me to bring you back to celebrate.”
Yu Nuo nodded, then excitedly asked: “Brother, where did you buy these flowers? Did you choose them yourself?”
“Mm.”
Yu Nuo sincerely praised: “They’re really beautiful.”
Yu Ge’s expression became a bit awkward as he turned the steering wheel, “As long as you like them.”
On the way to the TG base, Yu Nuo organized the photos she had just taken and posted them on social media, with her photo with Yu Ge placed in the center of the nine-grid layout.
This time she made the post visible to everyone, and within moments, many people had liked it. A planner she had worked with before specifically messaged her:
“Am I seeing things right, is that Fish in the photo with you? Is he your boyfriend?”
Yu Nuo rarely posted on social media, and whether in private or on Weibo, she basically never mentioned Yu Ge, so most people didn’t know her brother was Yu Ge.
Yu Nuo replied: “Not my boyfriend, he’s my brother.”
Planner: “Brother?? Your real brother?”
Yu Nuo: “Yes~”
Planner: “Ohhhhh, your brother is actually Fish?? You’re too low-key, now that I look carefully, I can see you two do look quite alike~”
…
…
Meanwhile, someone with the username “Arrogant TT” posted on the forum: “Fish appeared at our school today, attending his girlfriend’s graduation ceremony!”
The original poster shared several clear candid photos showing Yu Ge in an intimate pose with a girl in graduation robes. Yu Ge’s arm was being held, and he looked relaxed, even showing traces of a smile.
As one of the forum’s three major experience books, OG.Fish’s ID had always been controversial since his debut, but one thing was certain – he had always kept a clean image and had never been involved in rumors with any internet celebrities or beautiful female fans.
The summer split hadn’t started yet, and LPL was in the off-season. Various fans were tired of fighting with each other and were quite bored. When such explosive news about Yu Ge dating came out, the gossip enthusiasm immediately ignited. In the thread, anti-fans and passersby all emerged.
[Did I see that right??? Fish is dating a college student???] [To be honest, this girl doesn’t look that special…]
[My eyes!!! My eyes!!!! In my lifetime, I actually get to see Yu Ge smile???]
[This college girl looks so pure, our Fish God has good taste!]
[Brothers, type ‘perfect match’ in the comments, don’t they actually look like a married couple?]
Various unscrupulous esports marketing accounts caught wind of the movement and reposted the forum photos to Weibo, along with a sensational topic: #Fish Official Girlfriend Announcement#
The esports circle can be very toxic with their insults. When teams lose matches, haters would even curse your ancestors if they could, sparing no one from parents to relatives – trolls and keyboard warriors would attack everyone. To protect Yu Nuo, Yu Ge rarely mentioned her in public. Except for some long-time fans and industry insiders, the public didn’t know Yu Ge had a younger sister.
In just a few short hours, Yu Nuo’s face photos spread throughout the entire LOL circle.
…
…
At this time in the OG base, everyone was still unaware of what had happened. They were drinking and having a lively dinner. Until ten o’clock at night, the assistant ran over with his phone, extremely alarmed, “This is bad, this is bad.”
After he explained the situation, Yu Ge’s face darkened, and he checked Weibo himself to see what was going on.
By this time, the situation had developed to the point where large numbers of people were trying to dig up information about Yu Nuo, even finding her previous social media presence in the circle and submitting it to a blogger called “Stories for Esports Soft Girls.”
The comments under her previous cosplay photos were even more unbearable:
[I thought she was a college student, turns out she’s just a cosplay girl? Looks like Yu Ge’s taste isn’t that great after all.]
[Go look at her Weibo following list, she even follows TG people??? She’s mutually following Killer and Ultraman??? Oh my god, she’s casting a wide net! Heaven!! Yu Ge, run!! You’ve been tricked!!!]
[I knew it, just another unknown internet celebrity trying to ride the esports popularity wave!!! TG fans, are you there? This person even follows your Conquer!!!]
Some fans who had specifically come from Chen Yuzheng’s livestream to follow her now understood everything.
[Now that you mention it, I remember she used to send gifts in Chen Yuzheng’s livestream, and she was even his room moderator, interacting with him… so she really was casting a wide net…?]
[So she’s juggling multiple guys?]
Awen was also watching and couldn’t help cursing after reading a few comments: “These fucking marketing accounts, they’d do anything for traffic, they have no bottom line.”
“These netizens must be really bored, this is too ridiculous, it’s making me angry.”
Will sighed: “These people are just too idle. Yu Ge is now like a tall tree catching wind. Remember that YLD top laner? People even dug up photos of his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriends. Cyberbullying is really scary.”
Yu Nuo had also secretly checked Weibo, her follower count was increasing rapidly, probably many people coming to watch the drama, with new comments and private messages constantly appearing.
She clicked into her private message list and started scrolling, but her phone was snatched away.
Yu Ge frowned: “Stop looking.”
Yu Nuo obediently handed over her phone, carefully observed his expression, and instead comforted him: “It’s okay, it should blow over in a couple of days.”
Yu Ge sent her away: “Go watch TV in the living room, I’ll handle this, don’t worry about it.”
…
…
Awen and Will discussed what to do, and noticed Yu Ge was editing a Weibo post. He went over to take a look.
Seeing him typing away, Awen advised: “Explain it properly, this kind of thing will be forgotten once it passes.”
Yu Ge laughed coldly: “I’m going to sue all these idiots who posted the photos.”
Will also stopped him: “No, you can’t curse at people now, the more you curse, the bigger this will get. Yu Nuo is your sister, it’s not actually that big a deal, can you calm down?”
Awen was silent for a moment, then suddenly started criticizing him: “No, Will, why are you being such a pushover here? Have you seen how nasty those haters’ comments are! If it wasn’t your sister, wouldn’t you be upset? It’s easy for you to say!”
Will: “………”
He was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Awen, and also became somewhat angry: “What do you mean it’s easy for me to say? I’m just trying to stay rational so things don’t get worse.”
Awen picked at his words: “Didn’t you just say it wasn’t a big deal? Now Yu Nuo’s school and Weibo have been exposed, and you still say it’s not a big deal?”
Roy came over to mediate: “Alright, alright, stop arguing. Why are you adding to the chaos!”
Awen and Will glared at each other.
Finally, everyone gathered around to give Yu Ge advice, discussing together and still suggesting that Yu Ge should first explain on Weibo to see how things go, rather than attacking people.
Around eleven at night, Yu Ge posted a Weibo.
@OG-Fish: She is my biological sister and has never dated anyone. Please stop spreading rumors, don’t share her photos online, and don’t bother her. Thank you.
After Yu Ge’s Weibo was posted, many fans flooded to the marketing accounts, demanding them to delete the Weibos with Yu Nuo’s photos. Within half an hour, the comments under Yu Nuo’s Weibo also saw a dramatic reversal.
The photo of a male netizen who had previously left a top comment calling her a cosplay girl was exposed.
The thread was full of mockery:
[Greasy balding middle-aged uncle, please go look in the mirror, what right do you have to criticize a pretty girl?]
[These men are really disgusting, always quick to slut-shame, they have so much malice towards women, feel sorry for the young lady.]
Below were large numbers of Yu Ge’s female fans who had come to the battlefield:
[Don’t be scared, sister-in-law, your sisters-in-law are here]
[Wuwuwu, our parents are so talented at having children, brother is so handsome, and sister is so pretty!!!]
The female fans went through the comments one by one to see which idiots had insulted Yu Nuo earlier, and some even started arguing with TG fans:
[Why are TG’s maggots everywhere? Do you have some kind of delusional disorder? Following your team members on Weibo means casting a wide net??? How thick-skinned are you? If you have a mental disorder, go get treatment, don’t come here and embarrass yourselves.]
[Didn’t you see Fish’s Weibo? His sister hasn’t even dated anyone, what wide net are you talking about??? TG fans are as thick-skinned as ever, disgusting!]
Besides Yu Ge’s girlfriend fans claiming to be sisters-in-law, many male netizens even started lining up in Yu Ge’s Weibo comments to claim brotherhood:
[Why didn’t you say you had a sister earlier? We’re family now, brother-in-law, we’re all one family now, I’m your future brother-in-law.]
[Sister hasn’t dated anyone yet, right? This is my chance!]
—
This incident caused drama for several hours, and TG’s people also went to check it out.
Killer also felt this was quite troublesome and specifically asked Ultraman: “Should we post something on Weibo to help explain things for Yu Nuo?”
Ultraman was very frustrated: “Is it your place to explain? Besides, if you post on Weibo now, wouldn’t that just be pushing the young lady into the spotlight?”
Killer craned his neck to look around, “Where’s Chen Yuzheng?”
Ultraman didn’t seem too concerned: “He was trying to call Yu Nuo earlier, couldn’t get through after several attempts, probably went off to brood somewhere.”
After speaking, Ultraman suddenly called out: “Hey! Yu Ge posted on Weibo!”
Everyone crowded around to look.
Chen Yuzheng happened to push open the door, irritably tossing his lighter and cigarette pack on the table.
Thomas opened a bag of chips, standing to the side making sarcastic comments: “It’s quite funny actually. After Yu Ge’s Weibo post, the comments are full of marriage proposals. With so many rivals, what should Conquer do?”
Chen Yuzheng paused: “What did he post?”
Ultraman read it out: “She is my biological sister, has never dated anyone, please stop spreading rumors, and don’t bother her.”
Killer checked Chen Yuzheng’s expression and couldn’t help laughing, “Oh no, oh no, they’ve officially announced the sister is single! Chen Yuzheng here has no status, when will this end?”
Just when the commotion was almost settling down, all OG team members reposted Yu Ge’s Weibo. That was expected, but surprisingly, TG’s people also reposted it.
All four members maintained their formation.
@TG-Killer: The young lady is really nice, we follow each other because we know each other in real life, fans please don’t attack her.
@TG-Ultraman: Support, cyberbullying is unacceptable.
@TG-Van: +2
@TG-Thomas: +3
[What’s going on??? It makes sense for OG people to repost, but why are you all reposting?]
[I’m confused, does Yu Ge’s sister have such high status?]
[Well damn, I was just fighting with OG fans, and now you all suddenly support the young lady? Is anyone more embarrassed than me? Never mind, going to delete my comments…]
[As an OG fan, why am I feeling touched…]
Even Chen Yuzheng, who hadn’t posted on Weibo since winning the intercontinental championship, surprisingly reposted this Weibo as his first post, with a completely different tone from everyone else—
He directly reposted Yu Ge’s top comment:
@TG-Conquer//@WokeUpYet: Hey, can I get a number ticket?
