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

Upstairs, Chi Feifan was sitting at a table with a tablet in front of him playing a replay of the Asian qualifiers.

There were so many comments scrolling by that it was dizzying. He turned them off with a cold face and fast-forwarded occasionally to see shots of Hawk and Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's features are so striking that he stands out among the contestants with ordinary looks. His face is flawless under the camera. He would definitely be a star if he were to become one.

Chi Feifan repeatedly watched the scene of Qin Yi wearing a small pendant in front of the camera at the end of the last game.

He didn't know why he had to watch the game so many times again, even though he had already watched it before.

When the knocking sounded, Chi Feifan thought it was Wang Kang and the others looking for him again.

Chi Feifan paused the game, then indifferently went to open the door: "You guys play, I already said I won't..."

The moment the door opened, Chi Feifan stopped speaking. He stared at Qin Yi's face, thinking he was hallucinating from watching too many replays: "You..."

Chi Feifan loosened his grip on the doorknob: "Didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"

"Something is extremely urgent, so I changed my ticket." Qin Yi quickly glanced at Chi Feifan from head to toe and noticed that Chi Feifan had a band-aid on his finger, his eyes were a little red, and there were several red marks on the side of his neck as if he had scratched it with his fingers.

"I heard from Xiaoyu and the others that you haven't eaten yet? What happened?"

Chi Feifan scratched his slightly messy hair, trying to appear more relaxed: "No, I'm sleepy, I don't want to eat."

He hadn't organized his thoughts yet and didn't know how to explain things clearly to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi scrutinized Chi Feifan's expression.

The room was dark. Qin Yi's gaze fell on the only illuminated tablet, then shifted to the box next to it.

That box looks familiar; it seems to be an Omega inhibitor.

Chi Feifan straightened up, trying to use his body to block the things on the table.

He took out the inhibitor to try it in the afternoon, and sure enough, there was no rejection reaction like during the second differentiation. But he was in a bad mood and didn't expect Qin Yi to come back today. After trying it, he just put it away and forgot to put it away.

"What urgent matter did you say?" Chi Feifan changed the subject rather awkwardly.

"Ms. Lu made these dumplings herself, saying she wanted you to have some today." Qin Yi added deliberately, looking at the person in front of him who wasn't eating properly. "But if you don't have an appetite, that's fine. I just don't know how long she spent making them. I'll make some for you whenever you want..."

Chi Feifan hesitated for a moment: "No, I'll eat now."

Chi Feifan followed Qin Yi downstairs.

After finishing a bowl of steaming dumplings, Chi Feifan's stomach warmed up. He held the bowl and drank the remaining soup, which calmed him down considerably.

Qin Yi stared at his hand: "How did you get that?"

Chi Feifan curled up slightly: "I wasn't paying attention when I was pulling out the hangnail."

Qin Yi grabbed his hand: "Are you bleeding?"

"Hmm, a little." Chi Feifan noticed Qin Yi's slightly furrowed brow, licked his lips, and said, "But it doesn't hurt."

Seeing that Brother Chi had finally come downstairs, Yu Xingchen and Wang Kang, who had finished setting up the projector, came to call them: "Come on, Brother Chi, this projector is really clear, just like watching it in a movie theater. We need more people to watch horror movies, otherwise it's quite scary."

Chi Feifan: "I'm not coming."

He wasn't interested in watching movies or anything like that.

Wang Kang winked at Qin Yi as if he were having a spasm.

Qin Yi: "You guys watch what you want. Not everyone likes watching horror movies. People who are easily frightened will have nightmares if they watch horror movies."

Chi Feifan, who had his hands on the table preparing to get up, suddenly stopped upon hearing this.

What did Qin Yi mean by that? Who was he implying? Who was the coward?

The air froze instantly.

After several seconds, Chi Feifan's worries were completely washed away. He heaved his shoulders twice and said coldly to Wang Kang, "See, I love watching horror movies the most."

*

The lobby on the first floor of Hawk was dark, and the sofa had been turned around to face the large white wall behind it.

The white walls became a natural backdrop, on which horror movies recommended by Lao Jiang were playing.

The most chilling aspect of this horror film isn't how scary the visuals are, but rather the small print at the beginning: "Based on a true story."

The other four people sat in a row on the sofa, while Chi Feifan and Qin Yi squeezed together on a rather narrow double sofa, their arms and legs inevitably touching.

Qin Yi caught a glimpse of Chi Feifan's tense expression out of the corner of his eye, and whispered in his ear, "If you're scared, you can hug me."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Chi Feifan stared at the screen expressionlessly.

Isn't it just the same old horror movie tropes: sudden face-plants, eerie dorm buildings, chilling music, and someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night?

Wait a moment……

Chi Feifan frowned as if he had thought of something.

Their Building B seems to be a dormitory building, and just like in horror movies, it has single rooms, and the corridors are very long...

Recalling what the corridor of Building B looked like, Chi Feifan pressed his finger, which had a band-aid on it, and forced himself to look down.

It only took a little over an hour.

Besides, horror movies are all acted by real people; he never believes in those things.

Suddenly, a chin appeared on his shoulder, and Qin Yi hugged him loosely from behind.

"What are you doing?" Chi Feifan lowered his voice.

Qin Yi said in a very natural tone, "I'm timid, I'm scared, it makes me feel safer to look at you like this."

Chi Feifan: "..."

Is it appropriate for an S-class Alpha to say something like that?

Chi Feifan quickly glanced at the expressions of the others. Seeing that they were all focused on the screen and had no time to pay attention to this side, he let go of Qin Yi's arm and let Qin Yi hold him like that.

Whether Qin Yi felt safe in this position was unknown, but Chi Feifan felt less afraid.

Screams from the movie and Wang Kang and his friends' ghostly shouts could be heard from time to time in the hall.

Perhaps because Qin Yi was there, Chi Feifan didn't find the movie downstairs too scary.

But after the movie ended and everyone returned to their rooms, Chi Feifan turned off the light, lay on his bed, and swallowed hard as he looked into the dark room.

Why did I never notice how quiet the Hawk base was before? In the darkness, some faint sounds were amplified many times over.

Chi Feifan turned over and forced himself to close his eyes.

"..."

As soon as I closed my eyes, all sorts of scenes from the movie appeared in my mind.

Not long after.

Chi Feifan rubbed his face in frustration and knocked on Qin Yi's door.

Qin Yi had just finished showering, still steaming from the bathroom, when he saw Chi Feifan standing at the door with a stern face, a pillow tucked under his arm.

Chi Feifan: "Aren't you scared?"

Qin Yi was about to take out his phone to send a message to Chi Feifan when, unexpectedly, Chi Feifan arrived on his own.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "So you came all this way to keep me company?"

Chi Feifan's eyelids were tightly closed: "What, you don't want it?"

After waiting for a long time without Qin Yi saying anything, Chi Feifan's ears gradually grew hot, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Then I'll be going."

Chi Feifan turned around quickly, but as soon as he took a step, his clothes were grabbed.

Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly: "Yes."
