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

"Do you know what the average retirement age is for professional esports players?" Qin Yi suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Chi Feifan was speechless and could only shake his head while holding him.

"25 years old," Qin Yi said. "That means I still have a long time to do other things in my life. If one day you stop liking me, I will use the rest of my life to find a way to make you like me again."

The surrounding air was enveloped in a thick silence, as if time had stood still.

Qin Yi raised his hand to wipe away the tears that instantly turned cold on Chi Feifan's face, and said softly, "I don't need to smell the scent of other Omega pheromones, I only need to smell your scent."

Chi Feifan gritted his teeth and lowered his head to hide the tears that were about to well up in his eyes again.

Since the successful secondary differentiation, the inability to wash away the mark has been like a narrow bridge in front of him. He can see the rushing water below, but he hesitates to take the first step.

When Qin Yi found out, he didn't encourage him to cross the bridge from the other side, nor did he try to help him across. Instead, he walked towards him and told him that he didn't need to cross the bridge.

This time, someone resolutely chose him, loving him passionately in the simplest and most straightforward way, instead of abandoning him.

Chi Feifan awkwardly raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

How embarrassing! Ever since he met Qin Yi, it seems that Qin Yi always sees his vulnerable side.

Just then, Qin Yi unwrapped the bandage that was wrapped around his wrist to prevent excessive wrist movement.

Chi Feifan glanced at Qin Yi's wrist subconsciously and froze on the spot after seeing the tattoo on his wrist.

The villa had long been without power. Qin Yi turned on his phone's flashlight, and under the bright, almost blinding light, several light blue birds were tattooed diagonally on Qin Yi's wrist. The birds were spreading their wings in different poses, while the spot where Chi Feifan had once kissed was marked with a string of italicized English words.

"My life and beloved," Qin Yi murmured, translating, "This means, 'My life and the one I love.'"

The bird is Hawk, the wrist is his life, and Chi Feifan is the one he loves.

Do you like it?

The rhythm of my heartbeat was disrupted, and after a brief silence, it pounded against my chest even harder.

Chi Feifan hesitated, then reached out a finger and touched the edge of the small print: "Won't it hurt to get it tattooed here?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. Alphas don't perceive pain as strongly as ordinary people."

Experts said he had actually had tenosynovitis in his wrist for a long time, but he didn't feel anything and didn't get any treatment. Over the years, it accumulated and then flared up. If it were anyone else, they would have been crippled long ago.

Chi Feifan stared at the tattoo for a long time. After a while, he held Qin Yi's hand and murmured, "I like it."

"I'm glad you like it." Qin Yi lifted Chi Feifan's chin and lightly pecked the corner of his lips. "Let's go upstairs and I'll help you pack your things."

Chi Feifan snapped out of his daze.

I almost forgot why I came here.

He quickly pursed his lips, raised his hand again to rub his eyes, and pretended that someone else had been experiencing blurred vision.

This was Qin Yi's first visit to Chi Feifan's home.

As he followed Chi Feifan upstairs, he glanced around, scanning the entire villa.

The villa has a very high ceiling, and you can see the sunken living room on the first floor from the second-floor railing. Opposite the sofa is a decorative fireplace, and on the side is a full-length curved window with sheer curtains hanging on the floor. It must have looked beautiful when the sunlight shone in.

Qin Yi wasn't particularly curious about the house; he simply wanted to know what the place where Chi Feifan lived as a child looked like.

Chi Feifan's room was very large, with a walk-in closet next to it.

The bedroom contained a bed, a table, and two upside-down cups. The furnishings were very simple, with almost nothing else, making it seem particularly empty and desolate. It was clear that Chi Feifan didn't live at home much before moving into Hawk.

Chi Feifan went to the dressing room to see if there were any clothes he wanted to take. Qin Yi, with his hands in his pockets, wandered around the room and stopped next to the desk.

He bent down and pulled open the desk drawer, intending only to check if there were any important things inside for Chi Feifan. However, he didn't expect to see several red certificates of merit at the bottom after flipping through the drawer twice.

Chi Feifan was carrying two pieces of clothing when he came out and saw Qin Yi examining the items in his hands under a light.

Chi Feifan stared at the object for a few seconds, then, in a moment of impulsiveness, rushed forward and snatched it from Qin Yi's hand.

Chi Feifan's studies are terrible; he only received awards in kindergarten.

At that time, his mother enrolled him in the best private kindergarten in Shanghai. The kindergarten had a lot of activities, and the teachers would give him many certificates and stickers at the end of each event.

Those certificates were all awarded to Chi Feifan for participating in activities. Because Chi Feifan had only received those few, they left a deep impression on him, and he could even recall what was written on them.

"Congratulations to Chi Feifan for winning the title of Creative Little Painter."

"Congratulations to Chi Feifan for winning the title of Environmental Little Guardian."

……

The more proud he was when he received it, the more Chi Feifan now wants to destroy the certificate.

His ears turned red, and he glared fiercely at the person in front of him: "Qin Yi, what are you laughing at?"

Chi Feifan crumpled the certificate in his hand, his tone cold: "If you laugh again, I'll glue your mouth shut."

His words seemed to have no deterrent effect on Qin Yi whatsoever.

Qin Yi, with a confident smirk, asked, "Was Fanfan really that amazing before?"

Chi Feifan felt a surge of heat, but he pretended to be nonchalant: "Isn't this something we get when we start kindergarten? Didn't your teachers give it to us?"

"It was sent, but I didn't."

Given that this child is constantly causing trouble at the kindergarten, the teacher couldn't find a reason to give him any title, so any title he received would seem ironic.

Qin Yi chuckled: "It's a bit of a novelty to touch an award certificate for the first time."

Chi Feifan forced a straight expression: "You were in elementary school, and your grades in middle and high school weren't very good, were they?"

"That's different from this one."

"What's the difference?"

They're all just pieces of paper, just different sizes. Some people want to get awards but can't even get them after starting elementary school. What are you doing in Versailles?

Chi Feifan was about to throw the certificate away, but after looking around, he found there wasn't a single trash can in the room, so he could only hold onto it with a sour face for the time being.

Qin Yi leaned lazily against the table, his palms casually resting on the edge.

"This one is cuter."

Chi Feifan was taken aback.

"The child who received the award certificate is also one."

"..."

Chi Feifan's ears gradually warmed up, and he tightened his grip on the certificate.

"What little kid? Cute my foot!"

After saying that, he stared at Qin Yi with a threatening look in his eyes, as if he would really go find the glue if Qin Yi's lips twitched up even slightly.

Qin Yi met his gaze without changing his expression.

Chi Feifan stiffly gripped Qin Yi, unable to find any flaws, before letting out a cold snort, turning around, and stuffing the certificate into his pocket.

Qin Yi stared at Chi Feifan's retreating figure, his shoulders trembling slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbing.
