[Esports] Pheromones say we're a match made in heaven.

The culprit, Qin Yi, stood aside, open and aboveboard, without a trace of guilt.

I'm even a little excited...

If Chi Feifan said that he did it, he would be very happy to admit it.

"And what happened to his eyes? Why are they swollen?" Ms. Lu looked Chi Feifan up and down with concern, worried that he might be injured.

Jiang Wei also came over: "Xiao Fan, are you alright? Yesterday's matter has been mostly resolved, don't worry."

Ms. Lu paused, carefully considering Jiang Wei's attitude.

Based on her many years of experience as a teacher in judging whether students are lying, she felt that the concerned look on Jiang Wei's face was genuine.

"I'm fine." This was the first time Chi Feifan had encountered such a situation, and it took him a long time to recover. When he spoke, his voice was thick with nasal tone and very hoarse. He paused awkwardly, "I caught a cold."

Jiang Wei: "Did you take your medicine?"

"Um."

Chi Feifan glanced around haphazardly, then looked at Qin Yi with a pleading look.

Qin Yi understood and called out "Mom and Dad," but the two acted as if they hadn't heard him.

Left with no other choice, Qin Yi went over and pulled Ms. Lu and Old Qin away: "He just got up, let him eat something first."

When Ms. Lu and Lao Qin heard that Chi Feifan hadn't eaten yet, they happened to have brought some homemade dumplings with them from Shanghai. Lao Qin took the dumplings out of his bag and handed them to the aunt. Chi Feifan sat at the table, silently drinking the porridge in his bowl. Chen Yangyang, who had been working hard all day, felt a little awkward there and went back to rest.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Qin Yi, who was sitting next to Chi Feifan, was about to approach.

Chi Feifan covered his face: "What are you doing?"

Qin Yi chuckled and pulled his hand down: "The elders are all here, what can I do? I just wanted to ask if your back is sore, and if you want me to massage it for you? Anyway, they can't see us under the table."

Feeling like his back was about to break when he got up, Chi Feifan numbly picked up a spoon to drink the porridge, and said coldly, "It's not sour, I don't want it, stay away from me."

During her conversation with Jiang Wei, Ms. Lu learned that although Jiang Wei was Chi Feifan's stepmother, she did not mistreat Chi Feifan as depicted in the TV series. Everything was caused by that old man surnamed Chi in the police station.

Ms. Lu adjusted her glasses and gave a conciliatory smile: "It turns out it was all a misunderstanding. It's all Lao Qin's fault for not explaining it clearly to me on the way here."

Old Qin: "?"

He knew less than Ms. Lu; he only learned about yesterday's events from Ms. Lu's account this morning.

Ms. Lu sighed, "I'm so sorry, my tone was a bit harsh just now."

Old Qin opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself: "I didn't..."

Under the table, Ms. Lu stepped on his feet with her high heels.

Old Qin: "I...I didn't explain clearly, it's my fault."

Ms. Lu had a gentle and friendly smile.

"It's alright, I misunderstood you earlier too." After saying that, Jiang Wei glanced at Qin Yi and realized that Qin Yi's parents valued Xiao Fan quite a bit, even more than their own son. "As long as it's all for the good of the children, that's fine."

The two ladies shook hands and made peace in less than two minutes. They were about the same age and had common topics, and soon they were chatting happily. Old Qin couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

Chi Feifan told Qin Yi to stay away, but Qin Yi pretended not to hear.

Qin Yi draped his arm over the back of Chi Feifan's chair, his gaze lingering on Chi Feifan's exposed shirt for a few more seconds. If he had known that Chi Feifan would obediently put it on, he should have changed into a shirt that he usually wore more often.

Qin Yi: "They're quite talkative."

Chi Feifan asked in a low voice, "Why did Uncle and Aunt come to Haishi?"

Without batting an eye, Qin Yi lied, "I came here specifically to see you."

"hiss……"

When Chi Feifan gets nervous, he unconsciously speeds up what he's doing. The porridge in the spoon was still a little hot, but he took a small sip without waiting and burned his tongue.

"What's wrong? Did you burn yourself?" Qin Yi reached out to take Chi Feifan's bowl. "Let me blow on it for you."

Chi Feifan felt the parents' gazes and clung tightly to the bowl, refusing to let go: "No, I don't need it."

Chi Feifan finished the dumplings his aunt had made, and his stomach warmed up—he ate most of them, there were just too many, so the rest ended up in Qin Yi's mouth.

In that short hour, almost every kid from the second team who came downstairs to pick up their takeout would turn their head and glance in their direction.

The parents finished chatting and were about to leave. Ms. Lu and Mr. Qin had important business to attend to, so they decided not to disturb the children any longer.

The court will force Jiang Wei and Chi Jianye to divorce. Although Chi Jianye doesn't have many assets now, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and Jiang Wei will still be able to get some.

As Jiang Wei was leaving, he suddenly asked Chi Feifan, who had come out with Qin Yi to see them off, "Xiao Fan, when the police questioned you, do you remember what you said?"

Chi Feifan was stunned: "Huh?"

Jiang Wei, clutching her bag with both hands, smiled and said, "This is the first time you've admitted I'm your stepmother. You never acknowledged me before."

Chi Feifan tilted his head.

What's there to be happy about? He can't exactly tell the police that this is Chi Jianye's second wife, can he? That would sound awful.

"From now on, we'll live a good life together and have nothing to do with him anymore."

Upon noticing some hair stuck to Chi Feifan's face, Jiang Wei reached out and brushed it away for him.

Chi Feifan's expression stiffened. Perhaps the late night had severely hampered his reaction speed today. He stood still without dodging, but he didn't look at Jiang Wei either.

Jiang Wei's fingernails are shaped like almonds, and her fingertips feel cool when they touch her face.

"Alright, I'm leaving. There's still a lot to pack up at the Chi family's place. Remember to wear more clothes since it's going to rain recently." A taxi stopped at the entrance of the base, and Jiang whispered to him before getting in.

It was very windy outside today. Qin Yi reached out and zipped Chi Feifan's jacket all the way up, then folded the collar down to his chin.

Ms. Lu, who was also about to get into the car and leave with Lao Qin, saw this and a rare look of relief appeared in her eyes: "He still knows how to care about people."

Old Qin got into the car and said dismissively, "If I were his age, I would have proposed to you by now."

"How dare you say that?" Ms. Lu leaned against the window and rubbed her forehead. "I never want to remember the place you arranged when you proposed. Do you even have any sense of aesthetics?"

"If Qin Yi were like you, I would kick both of you out of the house."

As evening approached and the public holiday drew to a close, the rest of Hawk's team returned like thieves.

Wang Kang, along with Yu Xingchen, the two of them acting furtively, went to find Chi Feifan carrying two things before heading to the training room to get a feel for the game.

Yesterday, Yu Xingchen went to the hot springs with Wang Kang and Lao Jiang. Even the most innocent child would be corrupted. Now, Yu Xingchen roughly understands why the captain sent them out.

"Brother Chi," Wang Kang said with a fawning smile, "this is a gift we brought back for you while we were shopping today."

Chi Feifan glanced at the bags in the two people's hands. One was very large, containing a square box, while the other was flat.

"What is it?"

Wang Kang took out a box from the large bag. The box had a few words written on it: Lumbar support cushion.

Wang Kang stuffed the item into Chi Feifan's hands: "It just so happens that Lao Jiang's back is not feeling well, so we went to the mall today. This is very comfortable and even has a massage function."

Chi Feifan: "..."

Chi Feifan looked at the object in Yu Xingchen's hand: "What's the other one?"

Yu Xingchen seemed to be holding something that was not meant to be seen by others, and he tried to shove it into Chi Feifan's hands as if he had a hot potato in his hands.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Yu Xingchen shuddered and let go before she could properly stuff it in.

The bag fell to the ground, and a small bottle inside was sticking out.

Wang Kang and Yu Xingchen: "!!!"

Qin Yi was the first to bend down and pick up the things on the ground.

Chi Feifan asked curiously, "What is it?"

The print on the bottle was a bit small. Qin Yi squinted and quickly glanced at it: "Nothing much, just sleep aid oil."
