iArchaeological Analysis: Zhou Zekai and Zhao Zhinian are not real, so I am fake!
#1L LZ
As the title suggests, today I'm going to dig into the recent scandal involving a certain shooting champion!
First, let me introduce myself. I'm a huge fan of the champion of Samsara. As for Zhouzhou Kai's relationship, my attitude can be summed up in three words: I don't care!
As long as it doesn't affect the game, I'd be willing to give a wedding gift, let alone a relationship! Put it in the company's account first.
After all, our Samsara team is the only team in the entire alliance with married members. Dating experience? Weak! We directly possess marriage practice experience, ten years ahead of the current version! In other words, alliance marriage certificates don't add points, otherwise our Samsara team would take off from here!
On the other hand, look at Blue Rain next door... (hands clasped together) Amitabha, I heard that even if a female mosquito flies by in their temple, someone will stop and question her for three days, for fear that she is an undercover agent sent by a certain medicine team.
So, seeing a certain penguin making a splash on the internet lately, this mother of a penguin remained remarkably calm, even wanting to offer some advice: Son, learn from your brother Fang! Although we have faces, we don't have mouths!
If this is fake, just take it as a joke; if it's real, I'll ship them like crazy! The two are a perfect match in terms of looks, and Chinen, being a former TV host, can also help improve my son's language system. Looking further ahead, there's a 50% chance that the next generation of little penguins will inherit their mother's language talent, so I'll add 1 point to my good karma.
But! What happened yesterday made my radar go off! Suddenly I feel like they might actually be together!
Please see the video... no, I mean the screenshot, of Zhouzhou Kai's special reply to this comment:
[Screenshot of Weibo comments]
Who would be so kind as to proactively reply to comments mentioning their "first love" in the "suspected current partner" comment section?
Please! That's our Samsara captain, with top-notch tactical skills, not some brainless idiot!
Based on my keen insight gained from reading 300 episodes of Detective Conan, a bold idea emerged—
First, the white moonlight and Miss Chinen have never appeared at the same time!
Secondly, neither of the parties involved has ever denied it: Chinen is the classmate who mistook the baby penguin confession for a hacked account!
It's terrifying to think about! It's terrifying even at first glance! Actually, my hands were shaking while I was typing this…
#2
LZ, don't be ridiculous, are you just using clickbait? I thought it was some solid analysis, but I came in to hear you telling jokes?
#3
Rigorous! Too rigorous! The logic is precise, the arguments are plentiful, and it's as flawless as my paper (yeah right!), but it starts strong and ends weak, a complete mess! I don't believe a damn thing!
#4
"Never appeared at the same time"? Okay, I believe you! I've fallen for your nonsense!
#5
LZ, you can make your reasoning, but why drag our Erxiang into this? Our Erxiang may be a bit silly, but... he's just silly! (Crying voice! Our Erxiang is defeated!)
#6
LZ isn't just criticizing Erxiang, this is a full-scale attack on my beloved Blue Rain! I think you're just trying to show off that Samsara has married members! A marriage certificate isn't everything! Esports doesn't need love! You cunning Samsara fan!
#7 LZ
I'm never doing abstract humor again. First, nobody understands my humor, and second, some people really think I'm an idiot!
I really am an archaeologist! You guys are too impatient! Let me present the evidence slowly!
#8
OP, it's been three minutes! Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like this! If your hand speed isn't up to par, should you go to the temple and ask the fishing team to play for you?
9#
Can you please stop badmouthing my beloved Blue Rain?! (Slams!)
10#
Hmm~ Am I the only one who thinks the OP's guess has some merit? I always thought it was weird for Zhouzhou Kai to suddenly interact with a female host, and I thought he was like me, a sucker for good looks, unable to resist Chinen's beauty. Now I feel like the OP has opened my eyes.
11#
The comment above means that after winning the championship, Zhouzhou Kai participated in a live interview and discovered that the host was his high school sweetheart, whom he had confessed to years ago. She had been living abroad for many years, and the two unexpectedly reunited. Unable to forget their past feelings, he proactively brought up a question in front of her, revealing his embarrassing past, mentioning how his account was mistaken for a hacker when he confessed his feelings... You know what, you actually think it makes sense!
12#
[Live Stream Link]
It all started with this live stream. Is Zhouzhou Kai the kind of person who actively raises questions? He usually responds to everything with "uh-huh, oh, ah, nod, and smile"!
13#
[Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]
Look at Chinen's expression again! Compare them, which one is hosting the World Championship, and which one is interviewing Zhou Zekai?
Miss, you look so nervous, like you've encountered your natural enemy! What's wrong? Are normally quiet penguins some kind of monster?
14#
I was actually convinced by the original poster's twisted logic! To put it another way, ZZK clearly has a special feeling for this female host, yeah! Why would someone bring up their first love or white moonlight in front of their current (or soon-to-be) partner?
Please, he's ZZK, not SX!
15#
Don't think I can't see that you're trying to put down Erxiang just because you wrote the initials of his name in pinyin. Erxiang is already playing in the Challenger League, can't you be a little nicer to him?
16#
Where did you get the idea that Xiao Zhou was being special to the woman?! All this speculation, could it be some host posting this to ride the wave of popularity?! No shame whatsoever, trying to get attention by piggybacking on the contestants' popularity! Wouldn't it be better to just focus on the competition?
17#
I looked up and saw that the poster had chosen the gossip section! If you want to watch the game, turn left and look at the event posts. Coming to the gossip section to be a jerk, Cybernetic police, are you even responding to this?
18#
What's so special about the 16th floor? Is it some kind of triad member in the gossip section?
Come here, let me teach you a lesson on what it means to be special!
[Screenshot] The penguin and the girl are mutual followers on Weibo. With so many commentators and media outlets during the Challenger Series, this is unique in that only veteran commentators like Pan Lin and Li Yibo have players following them.
[Screenshot] The comments section of the first episode of "Muttering to Yourself"—is this a comment from Zhou Zekai's own account? "It's good-looking, please let me know." Surely "good-looking" isn't a compliment, is it?
[Screenshot] Penguin's birthday post: Chinen wishes everyone a happy birthday, and Zhou Zekai replies: "Happy birthday to you too." Everyone else, whether teammates, opponents, or staff, only has emojis. Isn't that special? This is wishing someone else a happy birthday on his own birthday!
[Screenshot] It's even more unbelievable that Zhou Zekai liked a video of the StarCraft ESG team. What does he have to do with ESG? He probably doesn't even know anyone there, it's only because Chinen is in the center.
[Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot] During the StarCraft Conquest World Championship, whenever Chinen filmed a video with a player, a certain penguin would suddenly appear and like it. It's like a persistent ghost trying to prove its status as the official girlfriend.
[Screenshot] The last line is, "Chinen-neechan, will you come back?" She's clearly older than him, yet she calls him "neechan"—not "sister"—this is obviously flirting. It's obvious that Tencent is panicking because the "Chinen" campaign in StarCraft has been so aggressive lately.
19#
What level is Zhou Nian's CP fandom upstairs? This is even more detailed than the top fans of the fandom!
20#
Oh no! My blood sugar spiked!
twenty one#
Oh my god! My penguin is so proactive! Mom is so proud!
twenty two#
Anyone who can't get Zhou Nian is just showing off.
twenty three#
I confess to Captain Zhou that I followed the trend of doing morning chanting a few days ago. I only made a mistake that every woman in the world would make. In my heart, I still support you the most!
twenty four#
No, have we gone off-topic? Didn't the original poster claim to be an archaeologist? Where is he?
25#
I'd like to offer some minor additions to the original poster's reasoning: Zhou's crush went abroad, and Zhao Zhinian also has overseas study experience. When hosting the StarCraft World Championship, she mentioned this to players from other regions. Both are from Shanghai. Considering their ages—Zhou was born November 24, 2001, and Zhao Zhinian's birthday, as found on her Weibo, is March 5, 2002—it's highly likely they were in the same high school graduating class.
26#
Wow, I thought the OP was just joking, but it's getting more and more serious? So it's not just a simple story of an e-sports pro falling in love with a female host, but rather a youthful unrequited love that ended without fruition, only to be reunited years later?
27#
It wasn't a crush; Zhouzhou Kai confessed, but his account was mistaken for a hacker's!
28#
There was no broken mirror. It's just that Bai Yueguang thought Zhouzhou Kai had hacked her account and ran away to a foreign country with the mirror!
29# LZ
Archaeologists have presented evidence!
[Link] First, in an interview many years ago, Zhouzhou Kai mentioned that he was a student at Shanghai Shixi High School. Their ages are 2001.11.24 and 2001 respectively.
A while ago, Chinen was forced to dance a ballroom dance by the male host at an offline event hosted by Honor. Remember this foreshadowing, it will be on the test later!
Then we found the official website of Shanghai Shixi High School, clicked on Student Development - Student Style, and then browsed around and found a promotional article titled "Artistic Charm Soars, Fragrance Blooms Together - Shixi High School's XXth Art Festival". There is a picture in it, and the girl second from the right is obviously Zhao Zhinian from high school (this post indirectly proves that the girl has not had plastic surgery and is all natural). Judging from her clothes, she is also performing ballroom dance.
[Link] [Screenshot] [Screenshot] [Screenshot]
We can see that the publication time of this article clearly coincides perfectly with Zhou Zekai's high school years.
However, in the spirit of being meticulous (and perhaps a bit mischievous), we must face all possibilities. What if they are in the same school but different classes and therefore don't know each other?
So I kept scrolling and found a news bulletin from the same year: "Good news! Our school's student has achieved excellent results in the Shanghai Municipal High School Mathematics Competition!" I clicked on it, and wow! Zhou Zekai is a math prodigy, winning third prize! Key information: Zhou Zekai, Class 2, Grade 11.
[Link] [Screenshot] [Screenshot] [Screenshot]
Then we continued to look for Zhao Zhinian's class information, which was much easier to find. Not only were there the "Three Good Students" and "Outstanding Student Cadres" from the first semester of the first year of high school, but the school's official website also uploaded the students' speeches under the national flag. The host had indeed been speaking on stage since childhood; it was Zhao Zhinian from Class 2 of the first year of high school.
[Link][Link][Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]
In conclusion, there is only one truth (Conan face) – Zhou Zekai and Zhao Zhinian were classmates in high school!
30#
No, OP, with your talent for gossiping, you'll succeed at anything!
31#
Wait, wait, wait! My CPU is fried! Let's sort out the plot again. So, the guess we made earlier is confirmed. So the plot is: High school classmates → Zhouzhou Kai confesses his feelings but is mistaken for a hacker → The girl goes abroad → They each work → They reunite during the live stream of Samsara winning the championship → Zhouzhou Kai forcibly answers questions and reminisces about his confession experience.
So this isn't just answering a question, it's a second, all-out confession! Zhouzhou Kai, you're quite the guy! You definitely have maximum action!
32#
LZ, you're actually quite something! This generation of netizens isn't going to leave any room for Samsara's PR department to survive!
33#
We can't be sure if Zhou Zekai's high school crush was Zhao Zhinian. What if several girls in their class went abroad after high school? Right now, we can only confirm that they were classmates!
34#
Wow! The person upstairs is more stubborn than a diamond! Assuming they're just ordinary classmates, would Zhou Zekai really have a brain fart after their reunion and insist on telling her about his embarrassing confession on live stream? If this gets around, Zhou Zekai's confession will be mistaken for a hacked account, and then he'll finally go crazy during a live interview after winning the championship in Samsara!
35#
Imagination: Some model student x silent school heartthrob literature, just passing by for a quick bite, along with a cup of jasmine yogurt!
36#
Let's enjoy a cup of Bawang Tea!
37#
Just a cup of Yi Dian Dian!
38#
A love story in Shanghai, of course, goes with a glass of Shanghai Auntie's drink!
39#
Let's have a Starbucks! Even Sang Haining drinks Starbucks!
40#
With a cup of Mixue Ice Cream!
41#
The upstairs neighbors have downgraded their spending habits! We rich people need to have our stomachs pumped if we drink Xuewang!
42#
Wait a minute, even now we can't be sure if the two of them are together, right? It feels like it's still just the penguin unilaterally pursuing Chinen, and Chinen hasn't responded at all!
43#
I've put up with you guys for so long! How exactly does a penguin display its wings?! (I can't even imagine it)
44#
I used to have to dilute Zhou Nian's candy with water to save it for a year, but I've been eating too much of it these past two days!
45#
To say that Chinen didn't respond would be my first disagreement! As a newly debuted host, her professional status is what it is; how could she act as freely as the league's ace, Zhou Zekai? All her "responses" are hidden in those details that require careful consideration. After all, given Zhou Zekai's popularity, even these kinds of gossip posts attract attention and criticism.
I just checked the forum posts from when the two followed each other on Weibo: Zhou Zekai followed Zhao Zhinian first late at night, and she followed back almost instantly. That was obvious enough, but then she immediately followed almost all the professional players in the league. This "carrying the whole class to hug one person" tactic is all too familiar; those who know, know.
The official Weibo post announcing her role as the host of the Challenger League clearly states in her profile: "Favorite team: Samsara." Although her "favorite player" is Ye Xiu, it's clearly a general expression of admiration for the God of Glory—a perfect smokescreen! Her true affection has long been reserved for that team and that person.
If you don't believe me, watch her hosting audition video; it's still officially available [link]. She was commentating on a final match of Team Excellent Era. If you like Ye Shen, you could totally commentate on Team Excellent Era's matches. Is this just a coincidence?
Needless to say, in offline player interaction events, she needs to personally engage in PvP battles with players, using the marksman class. In our world of Glory, who is the undisputed king of guns? Is there even a question?
Finally, and most importantly, is her game account, 【一知一念】. Back in the tenth server era, players on the forums revealed that although this account's skill level was average, it was practically the "darling" of the Samsara guild. Not only did a mysterious expert carry her through dungeons, but she also received special attention from the guild leader of Samsara in the tenth server, even possessing a unique title: "Samsara Battlefield Reporter." This isn't treatment an ordinary player receives. Who is this mysterious expert? Why is Samsara guild favoring her? Why is Yi Zhan, the host, in Samsara guild? If she likes Ye Shen, why doesn't she join Happy?
In conclusion, this is not a one-sided love; it is clearly a mutual pursuit.
46#
I'm totally shipping them! Zhouzhou Kai is openly showing off, while the young lady is subtly doing so. It's just a little game between young lovers.
47#
Talking without showing it off is like not talking at all! (Little penguin with hands on hips.jpg)
48#
Did Yizhan know that the host at his venue was from the Samsara Guild?
49#
You know, right? After all, their resident host only hosts home games for Gizan, never accompanying the team to away games, except for the away game between Gizan and Rinne, where Chinen was there with Gizan staff to give cheers. For whom? It's so hard to guess!
50#
Actually, there's another great point to ship: have you seen the variety show featuring Yizhan and Tiny Herb?
[Link] [Screenshot] [Screenshot] [Screenshot] [Screenshot]
Everyone only remembered Liu Xiaobie, but did no one notice Wang Jiexi and Gu Xiye? All the questions they answered were Zhou Zekai's! Gu Xiye said it was Cat King who answered correctly; they were on the same wavelength, and he scored higher, so he answered the questions.
But why could our king only answer Zhou Zekai's questions correctly? Actually, I wouldn't be so surprised if the Cat King guessed all of Captain Yu's questions correctly, but he just happened to guess Zhou Zekai's questions correctly! It can't be that he's particularly attracted to Zhou Zekai's looks!
Furthermore, why is it that Gu Xiye of Yizhan can quickly get the answer without any hints?
Let's take a closer look at Cat King's pre-answer routine: he looked at the host first, then gave Gu Xiye a hint, and only then did Gu Xiye understand and answer Zhou Zekai! Every single question was like this!
The Cat King said he learned by observation. What did he observe? He observed the host!
Why did you get the other questions wrong? Because the host's expression wouldn't reveal the answers to those questions!
This shows that Zhou Nian and his partner are an open secret in the professional gamer circle. Otherwise, why would the captain of Tiny Herb and the player of Yi Zhan be so in sync with Zhou Zekai's questions?
[Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]
Having covered the obvious clues, let's look at the most conclusive evidence: "micro-expression analysis"! This truly demonstrates that "even if you cover your mouth, your love will still shine through your eyes." Our Gun King's influence on a certain host is undeniable. Subconscious reactions don't lie; a professional host, the only exception was Zhou Zhou Kai! What else could this be but love!
51#
Wow! The angle upstairs is so thin! I bumped into it from an angle I'd never seen before!
52#
Our cat king is so smart! What a clever little kitten!
53#
Am I the only one who noticed that our king initially wanted Liu Fei, who had a higher score, to answer the question, and that suggestive look in his eyes was practically overflowing the screen? Was he just giving a flirtatious look to a blind man?
54#
Feifei's brain was completely overloaded at that moment. After choosing her father to join her team, her mind went completely blank, and she couldn't understand her father's hints at all (sad!). No wonder she couldn't compete for the position of Crown Princess of Tiny Herb!
55#
This post was reposted by YXH (a popular online figure), proving that you really have to check the forums for the latest gossip.
56#
The marketing accounts (yxh) are just copying content without paying royalties! (Penguin is furious.jpg)
57#
My God! Li Xuan liked a Weibo post from a gossip blogger!
58#
Are professional gamers also watching the drama unfold?
59#
Professional players are human too; they might not only be watching the drama unfold, but also discussing it in group chats!
60#
Ms. Wu is about to explode, right? Best wishes to Xuan'er for this slip of the tongue, Amen.
61#
I never imagined that Captain Void and I were on the same team! That makes me practically a professional Glory player!
62#
It turns out that anyone not shipping Zhou Nian is just putting on a brave face.
63#
Aa ...
64#
Ugh! What kind of crazy commotion is this?!
65#
Are all professional Honor of Kings players this clumsy? The league should conduct a general survey of the accuracy of its professional players' gameplay!
66#
What is this? The person in question personally endorsed it? Is my favorite ship really going to become the US?!
67#
[Screenshot] Here it comes! Zhou Zekai followed up with a Weibo post with just two words: "Slip of the hand".
68#
Hilarious! Li Xuan immediately canceled the like and apologized profusely after his slip of the hand. Zhouzhou Kai, you just say it was a slip of the hand, but the like is still there, you haven't canceled it at all, what's the meaning of that?!
69#
The cunning Zhouzhou Kai!
70#
Cunning and scheming Zhouzhou Kai! +1
71#
Cunning and scheming Zhouzhou Kai! +10086
72#
I get it! Is it because you're forbidden from revealing Zhouzhou Kai's identity through reincarnation that you're secretly pretending to accidentally post this, while actually trying to legitimize yourself?
73#
See through it but don't say it! Your wife is hosting another game, and she's gained so many more CP (couple) fans—are you panicking, Tencent?
74#
From Li Xuan's slip of the hand to Zhou Zekai's slip of the hand, this post has officially been deified, becoming the ultimate post in our circle!
75#
Why didn't the league arrange for us to come back to Beijing to play before the new year? Was it deliberately making things difficult for us long-distance couples?
76#
Glory Alliance, you have committed numerous evil deeds!
77#
Is Chinen based in Beijing? Why doesn't she work in Shanghai? If she were in Shanghai, their daily interactions as a couple would definitely be incredibly sweet!
78#
The commentary duties for the Glory Challenge were probably done at the Beijing headquarters.
79#
Actually, breaking up is fine. This beautiful woman's career is just starting out, so of course she should focus on building it! True love doesn't rush things; each person should work hard, and meeting at the top is the right thing to do!
80#
Zhouzhou Kai, do you dare to do something big at Tiny Herb All-Star Game? If you're a man, go for it head-on!
81#
If there's no romance in the All-Star game, I'm going to ship Chen Nian. Zhou Zhou Kai, you decide what to do.
82#
Will Chinen host the Tiny Herb All-Star Game?
83#
Probably, since Glory doesn't really have any outstanding hosts.
84#
I'm already dreaming! I want to see a young couple being interviewed together on stage!
85#
How many words will Zhou Zekai say? Will he suddenly transform into Huang Fanfan?
86#
Hahaha! That's terrifying! Tiny Herb and the League are taking this seriously! I want to see Zhao Zhinian interview Zhou Zekai!
87#
My friends and family were shipping Zhou Nian and me, while I was shipping the "account hacker" couple. Things got really tense. Turns out we were shipping the same couple at different stages?! What a mess!
88#
Or maybe you're relatives or friends? What do you call this? Different paths, same destination, destined to be family! After all the twists and turns, you're a match made in heaven!
89#
So now it's been a few weeks (years) since the account was hacked?
90#
If we count the days, it's been about six or seven years?
91#
Holy crap! I was so engrossed in reading all this gossip that my eyes were practically going blind, but then I refreshed the page and it snapped me right back to reality!
The person in question even liked the post?! Zhouzhou Kai, you… (My trembling fingers can't type, but I'm not clumsy; I'm a fan of this stuff, my typing speed is super fast!)
92#
Hey OP, are you still there?! Your archaeology has caused a cosmic shock! (And you really are constantly making fun of his temple.)
93#
This wasn't a slip of the hand; Zhouzhoukai was practically shouting through a megaphone in the Honor forum: "I! See! It! And! I! Agree!"
94#
@ReincarnationOfficial @ReincarnationPRDepartment, get to work! Your star player has superhuman hand flexibility, so he can only like but not unlike, right?
95#
At this moment, the Reincarnation PR Department is: [smoking a cigarette] [headache] [looking at their ace who can only smile and nod] [putting out the cigarette] "Forget it, let the world end! Hurry up!"
96#
Hilarious! They can't control them at all! The only team in the league with married members—their corporate culture is so unrestrained!
97#
@HonorAllianceOfficialWeibo If Zhao Zhinian isn't invited to host the TinyHerbal All-Star event, I'm really going to send you guys razor blades!
98#
Can someone punch me unconscious so I wake up on All-Star day? I want to see what tricks the cunning penguins have up their sleeves!
99#
I came here because of its reputation! This post has become legendary! Zhou Nian99, account thief99!
-----------------------
Author's Note: I'm not very good at forum-style writing, but I felt I needed a transition with some reader reactions at this point. I tried my best, deliberately making it 99 posts, and I even miscounted several times – it was terrifying! Even when I wrote in order, the numbers kept skipping. Wishing it 99 posts!
