I Can Do It
我行让我上
[Synopsis Provided by Hai Tang:]
At just seventeen, blue-haired streamer Jian Rong, alias Soft, had already built a name for himself with his amazing mechanics and even sharper tongue. He’s roasted nearly every pro in the scene…except for one, and if someone so much as says one bad word about them in his stream, he makes sure to drop down the ban hammer without hesitation.
That person was Road, the legendary jungler and calm-faced ace of China’s top LoL team, as well as Jian Rong’s longtime secret idol.
One day, a random email flipped Jian Rong’s world upside down, and he suddenly found himself standing on the center stage, shoulder to shoulder with Road.
And while he remained that trash-talking gaming prodigy who wowed esports fans everywhere, another side of him came out just in front of his idol. That swagger melted away, replaced with flushed cheeks. He said, “I won’t run my mouth again. I promise…”
