No Pretence [E-sports]

Before joining the 'Wildfire' team, Zuo Tao thoroughly researched everything about his idol. His idol likes those who are good at gaming, quiet, talk less, and obedient. Zuo Tao only meets the first criteria. From this, he concludes, to win over his idol, he must pretend. —— To capture his idol's heart, Zuo Tao treads carefully every day, fearing he might blurt out something out of character. Until one day after a match, maintaining his obedient persona during the post-match review, he couldn't hold back after his teammates left. He lit a cigarette, planning to admire his idol's amazing skills again. Through the screen, he disdainfully looked at the opposing players: "No offense, but in front of my husband, you're all amateurs." In a moment of uncontrollable emotion, he cried over the match video, uttering unfiltered words: "Wuwuwu, my husband was so amazing today," "I really want to kiss my husband." "Ah, husband, please face the sun—" As he finished, he looked up smugly and bumped into his idol, Song Shihan, who had returned. Zuo Tao froze, choking out a smoke ring, and instinctively offered the cigarette: "Husband... want a puff?" As if discovering something interesting, Song Shihan leaned against the door frame, raising an eyebrow: "Face the sun for what?" —— Song Shihan discovered their new support's little secret in his first month with the team. During his self-introduction, the small support emphasized that he was 'obedient, quiet, and talked little,' but in just a few sentences, his face turned beet red. He did seem quite obedient. Until one day, while smoking on the balcony, he saw the seemingly obedient support effortlessly throw a stalker who had been outside the base for several days, a smooth move that suggested he was a habitual offender. Arrogant and disdainful, he spoke like a rebel: "Pah, idiot." Not obedient at all. And quite the actor.
