Summary: Wei Ying, a college freshman doing his best to keep his life in order after being kicked out of his house, finds solace playing a new video game. He's a total 'noob' who one night gets paired up with a much more skilled (read: arrogant) player named 'HanguangJun'. After the match, HanguangJun is less than impressed with Wei Ying's skills and lets him know so, leaving Wei Ying with two choices: Follow HanguangJun's suggestion to 'uninstall the game' or...'git gud' ;) Kay's comments: This story is absolutely delightful so far and I'm loving the identity shenanigans especially! In which modern college student Wei Wuxian starts playing League and meets Hanguang-Jun online, an amazing player, who absolutely roasts him for being a noob. Over time, Wei Ying improves and the two of them become closer and Wei Ying starts nurturing a massive crush on him, but! There's also a side love-interest, the libarian's assistant, Lan Zhan... I really love the relationship between the Wen siblings and Wei Ying in this story, Hanguang-Jun's legendary roasts and the slow identity-reveal. I can't wait to see where this story goes! Excerpt: HanguangJun: Ridiculous. HanguangJun: Feeling better? Wei Ying smiles fondly and actually does feel his cheeks warm a bit but more because of contentment than anything else. Shaking the feeling off he decides to be his usual mischievous self. “No, not at all HanguangJun! I’m afraid I need more compliments if I am to survive this sad and lonely night. HanguangJun: You…are no longer the worst player I’ve ever played with. Wei Ying gapes and then breaks out into laughter once again. When The door of the apartment opens and Wen Qing and Wen Ning walk in, the hear him laughing and saying: “Oh HanguangJun, you really are the best. Please never change!"
