It wasn't a surprise that Yu Weimin and Qi Jingguo were selected, but not only did they get selected, but they also won the competition, basically tied. It was just that the final fight between the two of them was somehow ambiguous so much that even the public noticed.
Still, there were rumors flying in several universities that Qi Jingguo and Yu Weimin were neck-to-neck in everything. Of course, they didn't know a single thing about Qi Jingguo trying to pursue anyone. So even after watching that ambiguous fight between the two of them where they only took the opportunity to touch one another to their heart's content, no one could pick out anything strange.
Of course, aside from a few BL enthusiasts, no one noticed how ambiguous that fight was, full of sexual tension!
"Ah, I suddenly want to ship them."
"Me too!"
"Wait, what are you girls even talking about?! Ship them?! More like throwing them in a room and finding them dead the next day! You girls want to kill them for sure!"
