Chapter 74 (Forum style) [CP fans...]
[It's official now: this couple's relationship is officially over.]
0L (Original Poster)
In just six months, it went through the entire process from fanfiction to the US to being on the street—is this what a world at 800x speed is like?
1L
So? Yux is really dating someone? Who's his girlfriend? How come no one's digging into this?
2L
My sister-in-law is quite low-key and doesn't like to show off. No one has ever seen the two of them together; she's kept it very well hidden, which is quite exemplary in the industry. Actually, it's not a big deal, as long as it doesn't affect her grades.
3L
Could it be that the initial instruction to "stop selling bromance" was actually from his sister-in-law? Was she jealous and didn't want to see them selling bromance anymore?
But something just doesn't make sense, it's weird.
4L
The strange thing is probably with Yux. His alleged BL (Boys' Love) relationship with Angel Yi seems odd from beginning to end; it doesn't make sense.
5L
You guys are putting too much of a filter on Yux, aren't you? All this talk about young master and not young master, it's all about making money, isn't it?
6L
Actually, Angel Yi is quite unlucky.
7L
I have a thought: could his sister-in-law be an employee of HYG? Otherwise, why hasn't her identity been revealed for so long? It's not because she's hidden it exceptionally well, but because this person is right next to him.
Moreover, his move to HYG this year was particularly inexplicable.
8L
That makes sense.
Is there a Sherlock Holmes?
9L
Although I convinced myself before taking it that it was probably fake, I still got hooked and now I can't seem to get over it.
10L
Human nature
11L
I don't understand... The logic behind these two people's behavior is completely illogical. Yux is, and Angel's intention is even more so. His original job paid much more than coaching, so what was the point of abandoning everything to switch careers and join the training group? I also have a championship dream?
Why did it suddenly start selling bromance for no reason, and then just as inexplicably end, leaving me heartbroken?
12L
They probably set up this to harm us CP fans, haha.
...
121L
I feel like I've discovered something incredible.
Holy crap
122L
? Let's go into details
123L
Following the lead of other women, I dug into Yux's past relationship with his little-known first love, and unexpectedly stumbled upon a CG youth training roster from five years ago.
Logically, Yux should be on this list, but his name is not on it.
Therefore, there are two possibilities: 1. yux is not on this list for some reason; 2. yux changed his ID.
As everyone knows, yux has never mentioned changing his ID. Most people's first impression of him is from CG.Y in 2022, when his ID was yux.
But after looking closely at the list, I found a main carry academy player named North.
Why do I think this person is yux? Because
Damn, there's another youth player on the same roster, a commander, whose ID is South………………
I can't take it anymore, can someone understand me? What does this mean? Huh?
124L
?
125L
? ?
126L
Wait a moment
You're not suggesting this commander is a certain streamer surnamed Nan, are you?
127L
Well
First of all, I understand that everyone might be feeling a bit sad right now, but isn't this association a bit too far-fetched? Did Angel Yi play in the youth academy before? And is she and Yux a couple's ID?
That's too far-fetched.
128L
However, I was a little confused when Angel Yi dominated Wind in his previous matchup. Wind was, after all, last year's runner-up. How could a streamer like him dominate a real professional player...?
129L
Angel's friend seems to have said that he used to be very talented.
Wait, let me find the slices.
130L
[Video Link] Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi used to be very good, but he's a low-key person. He could take on ten trolls in the comments, but...
Is this it? It's a clip from the recent tournament. The streamer is called Moon, and he's a streamer friend of his who they get along with pretty well.
131L
? ? ?
Wait a minute, how is this going...? Why am I suddenly so confused?
Weren't we just discussing the relationship being exposed and the breakup? How come things suddenly turned around for the better?
132L
You can't conclude that South is Angel Yi from just one sentence. If he really played in youth training, he would have said so already. It would be perfect material for building his persona. Every streamer who has played in youth training has said so; why would he need to position himself as an entertainment streamer?
...
371L
I think I've found solid evidence.
Searching for the South ID "CG Youth Training," I found this comment on a website [image].
Here's a snippet of the text: Is this South0412 from the leaderboard? I've ranked against him a few times, he's pretty good. (A screenshot of his match history is attached.)
First, this is a ranked match around rank 120 in the ladder. Next, April 12th is Angel's birthday.
Finally, we know that South0412 is the ID of one of Angel's alternate accounts.
But!!! The real problem is that I discovered the 0412 in this person's picture and the 0412 that AngelIs currently using are not the same account at all.
Because I found the account owner of this screenshot, who hasn't changed his ID in five years, and it seems he quit the game four years ago, I easily found the match history of that ranked match from back then (thanks to Eternal Rebirth's permanent record saving function).
Then I clicked on it, and I was completely stunned.
What do you think this is?
[Images][Images]
Isn't this the same account of the woman who was exposed as having a romantic relationship with Yux back then, and a lot of people criticized her, leading the account owner to unlink the relationship and disable friend requests?
372L
ah? ? ?
No, huh?
373L
? ? ? ? ?
Holy crap...
374L
Holy crap...
375L
This isn't AI, is it?
376L
I just tried it.
What 371L said is true.
377L
Wait a minute, so that support player South in the CG academy is really Angel Yi himself?! I'm stunned!
378L
Why can't I understand it all of a sudden?
379L
I organized myself before my brain exploded.
1. Angel Yi previously played in the youth training program.
2. yux changed his ID before joining CGY; his previous ID and Angel's ID were a couple's name.
3. Angel didn't make it into the league for some reason (was it because of insufficient performance?).
4. Angel's alternate account and yux were once linked as a couple, and are suspected to be the real parties involved in the relationship incident from back then.
380L
Did I get mushroom poisoning? No, what are you all talking about? How did things suddenly get to this point?
...
420L
I just found something else.
[Image] A record of achievements from the CG youth training camp at that time.
South is ranked first in the support role, and Pigeon is second, who is now with WD. As you all probably know, he came from CG's youth academy.
This explains everything. The reason why Angel is a streamer but plays professionally the best is because he and Pigeon knew each other from their time in the youth training camp!
421L
Holy crap, this performance is phenomenal! He's way ahead of the pack! If P can get into WD, why can't he get into the league?!
422L
This is such a fantastic result...
423L
I guess they gave up for some reason.
424L
...This is the episode where Pigeon is most tight-lipped. He managed to keep this a secret for five years without telling anyone. What's the meaning of that?! Seriously?!
425L
I'm completely baffled. Does this mean that Yux's relationship was exposed back then, leading to his breakup, but there was actually no relationship at all, and the person he was paired with was his teammate?
Why didn't he come out and clarify back then? Did he enjoy being criticized for so many years?
426L
Not only did they not come out to clarify, but they also...
This is a screenshot of his argument with that CG fan who exposed him.
[picture]
To summarize the text: CG.Y.Yux angrily berated his viewers, declaring that his relationship has nothing to do with them and telling them to mind their own business, accusing him of being a snoop on others' privacy and lacking any basic sense of boundaries.
In short: The person who was exposed is my partner.
427L
I was so scared I cried.
428L
Actually, even close friends among the contestants might form romantic relationships, right?
Who remembers the uproar among fans after @HYG.Milk and @CG.Nova won the championship, only to have their romantic relationship during their youth training days, which lasted for a full year and a half, unearthed?
429L
...These are also two divine beings, hurry up and take them away.
430L
Words can no longer describe how I feel right now.
@Yux, don't you love browsing forums? Come out here and say that you two were just good buddies faking it out for fun! Say something! Speak up!
431L
First, let's set aside whether this is a case of close friendship or something else. Let me point out something: hasn't anyone noticed that this actually means YUEX and Angel Yi have known each other for five years, and their relationship is far from ordinary? It's definitely not just that of ordinary colleagues, or even ordinary friends.
So, I ask you, why have these two people never mentioned their relationship for so many years? They pretended not to see each other's ranking clashes, and automatically posted and then deleted their votes on Weibo. Why do they keep acting like they're not close to each other, making everyone ask them every day when they'll finally meet? Seriously, I'm asking you this...?
432L
That is indeed
That's so intriguing!
433L
The most likely explanation now is that Yux and Angel Yi were always friends, but had a falling out for some reason. Yux, being stubborn, got into a fight with that online acquaintance back then, leading everyone to believe his relationship was exposed when they were just good friends. The ring he ordered recently was for himself or for family and friends.
The worst-case scenario: I don't dare think about it anymore, I'm so scared I'm crying.
434L
I was so scared I cried.
435L
I was so scared I cried.
...
744L
It's truly... full of twists and turns...
745L
Could you perform that again? The one titled "The Final Verdict: This Couple's Relationship is Over"?
746L
The CP fans got off to a bad start, made a series of blunders, were on the verge of collapse, made a last-ditch effort, and then delivered their victory speeches.
-
Because they finished first in the regular season standings, HYG's first playoff game started later than all other teams, not until early September.
Furthermore, due to their highest ranking, as long as they defeat a challenger ranked lower, they can directly advance to the winners' bracket final and compete for a ticket to the final.
On the 4th, CG, who ranked fifth in the regular season standings, suffered another crushing defeat against NJ, who ranked fourth, and fell into the loser's bracket.
Furthermore, because their Spring Split points were very low, failing to even reach the top three, if they lose again in the loser's bracket, they will lose their qualification for the World Invitational.
The public was in an uproar. Last year's regional champions were replaced by a different player this year, and they fell directly into the loser's bracket. Even their spot in the world championship is hard to keep. CG finally proved who the core player of this team in 2024 is through a nine-month-long controlled variable method.
Amidst a massive backlash against his former team, HYG, Yux's team, faced off against NJ in their first playoff match on Saturday night.
"So, you really did go to buy a ring that day?"
On the way to the venue, everyone was relaxed, and Milk even had the leisure to browse gossip online on his phone.
He first came across a post titled "ROE CN players all gender-swapped, which beauty is your type?" He stared at the nova page and laughed uncontrollably. He then took a screenshot and sent it via WeChat. Immediately afterward, he came across a marketing account titled "Shocking! This e-sports heartthrob is already taken! ROE's main carry player yux was photographed spending a fortune at a luxury store, buying a pair of engagement rings." He couldn't resist asking the person sitting next to him for inside information.
"Yes," You Xin readily admitted.
"..."
Nan Zhiyi, who was sitting in the seat next to them, glanced over in their direction.
You Xin seemed to have recovered from the unpleasantness of having his plans disrupted. That morning, after seeing the gossip sent by Pigeon, he went downstairs and saw the man sitting in the living room with an unhappy expression, typing away furiously, seemingly trying to find someone to resolve the matter.
Nan Zhiyi stood in the hallway for a while and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The other party's various unusual behaviors were explained online the day before, but in order to save his "face," Nan Zhiyi has been pretending not to know about it for the past few days, and the two of them have just gotten by as if nothing happened.
"Really? Is this a gift or a proposal? We've never heard you mention having a boyfriend, so why are you suddenly getting married?" Milk asked, a little puzzled.
“A gift.” You Xin’s tone became a little stiff. “...It’s not a marriage proposal.”
Nan Zhiyi turned her face to the side, desperately trying to suppress her laughter, and pretended to be interested in the scenery outside the window.
"Oh. So, you're giving it to your partner then?"
"……Um."
Upon hearing this, Rock, who was sitting in the front row, also turned around and said, "I've never seen you hanging out with any girls before. You've been keeping it well hidden, haven't you?"
Milk wholeheartedly agreed: "Yeah, I see you spending all your time training and hanging out with Angel Yi every day. Where do you find the time to pick up girls?"
Rock suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his thigh: "Your partner wouldn't be..."
Old Xu, sitting in the front row, suddenly let out a deafening cough!
"...The staff at our base, right?" Rock said, leaning slightly forward from his seat. "What's wrong, Brother Xu? Did you choke? I have some water, do you want some?"
"..." Old Xu pounded his chest and waved his hand weakly, "It's okay. Don't worry about me."
"Ah, okay. Take care of yourself. Don't get sick before the playoffs even start." Rock scratched his hair, seemingly confused.
Nan Zhiyi pinched her fingers, using all her strength to stop herself from laughing out loud.
HYG has been in great form recently. The match started at 6 o'clock and ended 3-0 by 8:30. Yux won two of the MVPs and stood on the main stage with Milk in the post-match interview.
After asking a series of standard questions, the host, Xiaoya, turned to the two players with a smile: "With this victory today, the next match will be the winners' bracket final. Many people are optimistic about you this season, believing that HYG can win the Summer Split championship. I would like to ask the two players if you have any plans to make a 'championship pact'?"
Milk was the first to raise the microphone. He pretended to think and said, "Well... our club has a tradition of exchanging gifts after each championship. Every year I receive some strange clothes. If we win this time, no matter what clothes I receive, I will wear them to the World Championship."
The fans in the audience seemed to remember something and burst into laughter. Xiaoya grinned and turned to Youxin on the other side: "What about Yux? Has he thought about what his championship pact is?"
You Xin lowered his eyes slightly.
A moment later, he raised the microphone: "If I win the championship, I will post a photo of my boyfriend on Weibo."
A loud thud was heard in the HYG backstage lounge.
Nan Zhiyi turned her head and saw that Lao Xu had lost his balance and slid straight off the edge of the sofa, falling to the ground. At this moment, his expression was half pain and half confusion. He looked at the big screen in front of him and opened his mouth to utter a single word: "Huh?"

I was planning to update yesterday but something urgent came up, so I'll update earlier today since I finished writing. My update time is already fragmented [laughing and crying emoji]. I can only guarantee about 15,000 words per week. I've been incredibly busy lately, thank you all for your understanding QAQ
