The story begins with a $30 special-effect comment popping up in Yan Zhuo's livestream: "Host, do you still love Qin Du Liang?" Yan Zhuo casually replies with a smile, "Loved." Meanwhile, at the Isle of Man TT, the World Superbike Championship, Qin Du Liang—fresh off his bike—pulls off his helmet and balaclava, shaking out his hair before heading to the pit area for a break. As he sips water and scrolls through his phone, he stumbles upon a clip of that very livestream. He nearly chokes. Wiping his mouth, he grits his teeth. The words he once heard weren’t “loved.” They were: “I swear I’m not gay.”
