Does A Broken Mirror Reunion Exist in Esports? [Esports]

________________________________

“A hot, seductive tease with a touch of tsundere attitude (Shou) vs. A loyal but black-bellied schemer (Gong)”

Rumor has it that NAVA’s ace player, Shen Guanchao, has been at odds with the team’s rookie, Xie Jingchu, for a long time. They can’t exchange three sentences without arguing—a classic pair of arch-enemies.

No one knew where their conflict stemmed from until one night, after some drinking, someone plucked up the courage to ask the great master himself: “What is going on with you two? You clash the moment you meet.”

Shen Guanchao lifted his chin with cold arrogance and said indifferently, “He’s my ex-boyfriend. Isn’t it normal for me to roast him?”

“…”

The friend fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Will you guys get back together?”

Shen Guanchao said, “No.”

The friend believed him, right until the World Finals that year, when the cat finally came out of the bag.

After winning the championship, amidst the tsunami of cheers from the audience, the host interviewed the highly anticipated ace carry: “May I ask, what is the one thing you want to do most now that you’ve won?”

“The thing I want to do most? Take a teammate home to sleep, I guess.” Shen Guanchao smiled with a slacker’s charm, his gaze locking straight onto the sniper beside him, Xie Jingchu. His eyes lingered on the other man without a shred of concealment.

The others on the scene were shocked: “…???!”

Is the ‘sleep’ you’re talking about the same ‘sleep’ I’m thinking of?!!

!! Reading Guide for this novel:

  1. Shen Guanchao (Shou) & Xie Jingchu (Gong)
  2. Game descriptions are non-professional (unfamiliar), mainly focuses on emotional flow.
  3. A bit of angst for the Gong in the early stages; the protagonist’s personality isn’t perfect either. Enter with caution if you dislike angst directed at the Gong.
  4. No real-life prototypes for characters, teams, or plot.
