Bai Tong sometimes feels that she must have been a god in her past life.
For example, right now, she had just left the competition field when Tian Xuanzi grabbed her, dragged her to the corner, and forced her to kiss him, yet she still had time to think about this and that.
"If people found out we were dating, the entire esports community would probably explode."
Outside the stage, deafening screams echoed through the walls and doors, reaching even the corner of the dressing room.
"Bai Tong—Husband! I want to have your babies!"
"Tong Shen is awesome! Just go all out, pentakill! Keep it up!"
"Tianxuanzi's divine draft! SXC, go for it!"
Hearing the cheers outside, Tian Xuanzi bit her lip as if punishing her, his tone lazy yet inexplicably threatening:
"Wife? Having babies? Some heartless bastard is cheating on me. He hasn't given me a proper title yet, and he's still flirting with other women. I'm afraid my fans won't explode before I do."
Bai Tong felt a pang of guilt: "Don't be ridiculous... What time is it now? How can we announce it to the public? You're going to drive the fans crazy. We agreed to keep our relationship a secret..."
Bai Tong, female, 18 years old, is a professional e-sports player and the starting mid-laner for the SXC team in the King of Glory KPL professional league.
Tian Xuanzi, male, 26 years old, e-sports coach, owner of SXC e-sports club and head coach of the King of Glory division.

They were also a couple secretly dating.
The story begins a month ago.
In early February, netizens who follow the King of Glory KPL professional league had their homepages flooded with the same message:
The veteran esports club SXC has signed a new mid-laner, Bai Tong, who is considered a top-tier solo queue player.
It is said that Bai Tong has a delicate appearance, a gentle personality, a super sweet voice, and is super cute. However, in the competition, he is fierce and ruthless, crushing the teams that played training matches against SWDS.
They were beaten so badly they quit the game, their faces pale and howling like ghosts. They all went to Weibo and tagged SXC's official Weibo account, demanding that Tong Shen go easy on them when he was on the field.
Since KPL professional matches have always been a battleground for male players, fans instinctively cheered on Weibo: "He must be an incredibly cute young man! Let's form a fan club, he absolutely can't lose face when he starts out!"
Amidst the lively atmosphere, female commentator Feng Yinyue suddenly posted a cryptic message on Weibo:
"This spring season, SXC's new player Bai Tong will be making his debut. As the most anticipated new player, we wonder how much of a change he can bring to SXC? It is said that Bai Tong is currently invincible in scrims. Maybe this year will be SXC's year."
SXC team, nicknamed "Sanxiu City" because most of its players were handpicked from random solo queue games by the owner and head coach, Tian Xuanzi, unlike other teams that prefer to use players cultivated by their own youth training camp.
When a team is praised by fans using the club's name as "XX year," it usually means that the team basically monopolized the four major tournaments of that year: the Spring Championship, the World Championship, the Autumn Championship, and the Winter Championship.
If they can truly win four championship trophies in a year, then this team is worthy of being called a legend and ascend to the Hall of Fame of KPL.
Feng Yinyue's Weibo post immediately angered fans of ZWTG Club, who had dominated the four major trophies last year, leading to a barrage of complaints on the forum.
"What a joke! Only Ziwei Tiangong has ever monopolized all four major trophies, okay? This year's champion must still be ZWTG!"
"SXC has been inactive for so long, and they only changed one mid laner, and their strength has skyrocketed? I admit that Tianxuanzi's draft picks are very good, but their team's strength is simply not up to par!"
