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

Qin Yi's revelation of his hand injury had only been trending on social media for less than two hours when the entire Survivor Arena community knew about it.

Many people sent messages to Qin Yi, partly out of concern for the condition of his hand, and partly because the finals were approaching and they wanted to find out more about him.

Qin Yi received a call from Ms. Lu as soon as he arrived at the base that evening.

Ms. Lu, who already knew about his hand injury, wasn't concerned about the treatment at all, but rather about the tattoo on Qin Yi's wrist.

In their teachers' eyes, the most unacceptable things are: tattoos, playing video games, dyeing hair, and smoking.

Qin Yi has it all.

The usually refined and scholarly Qin was so angry that his eyes turned black and his hair almost exploded: "Are you really my and your mother's child? Did we have a mix-up at birth?"

Having endured half an hour of relentless scolding with his thick skin, and waiting for them to vent their anger, Qin Yi smiled and said, "I didn't expect you two to be so well-informed. So you were really concerned about me? Didn't you say that whether I live or die in the game is none of your business?"

"Well……"

The two people on the other end of the phone were speechless.

After a long pause, Ms. Lu spoke somewhat stiffly: "You think I want to see your messages? How am I supposed to know why this crappy software is pushing your Weibo to me?"

Old Qin snorted coldly: "I only showed it to someone else because I told them not to forward it anymore."

Hearing their flawed answer, Qin Yi simply smiled, not wanting to provoke them, and didn't expose them on the spot.

Meanwhile, a large number of Hawk's fans and other onlookers flooded into Fox's live stream room.

Those who follow the Survivors team know that Fox and Live are former teammates and have a good personal relationship. Qin Yi posted a Weibo post but didn't say anything, so everyone had to come to Fox to ask how Qin Yi's hand is doing now.

But Fox only found out recently; Qin Yi hadn't even told them privately.

Many Wonder fans flooded the live stream chat with messages saying Wonder's spring is coming.

Fox's expression, however, was somewhat serious.

There are also many Hawk haters of unknown origin gloating in the comments, cursing Hawk and Live for not sending it long ago.

Fox clicked his tongue and muted the person: "Even if Live retires, it's none of your team's business to jump on the bandwagon. Don't try to get attention in my stream."

The voice just fell.

[Enter Hawk-Live live stream]

Fox stared intently, then jumped up from his chair in a panic, yelling as he scrambled under the table, "What the hell are you doing here again! I was trying to put in a good word for you! Someone go and pry off the button for sending him the gift!"

Fox will always remember the last time Qin Yi smashed rotten eggs, slapped him, and threw a big silly cup at him in his live stream, unlocking three hidden achievements for him in a row, which made his live stream gloriously appear on the platform's most popular clown list and stay there for three days.

Fox gets agitated whenever he sees Qin Yi's name; he only shows his eyes, afraid that some strange special effects will be applied to his face again.

He warned Qin Yi, "Let me tell you, friendships can capsize in an instant. If you do what you did last time, believe me, I'll climb down the internet cable and strangle you!"

Hawk-Live is giving away a Star Trek travel gift.

The dazzling special effects fill the entire screen.

Fox was taken aback, then coughed twice and crawled out from under the table: "Hey, you should have said you weren't here to cause trouble. This whole mess... thanks—"

Hawk-Live: Your reward.

"..."

I thank you, you old man!

Fox's eyes twitched, his expression as if he had been forced to eat a mouthful of shit.

Qin Yi interacted amicably with fans who were concerned about his hand injury in the Fox live stream, responded with a few words to reassure them, and then left the live stream and tossed his phone aside.

He didn't want any concern from other people.

However, the hand injury alone doesn't seem to be enough.

Qin Yi spun around in his chair and thought for a moment.

Indeed, Chi Feifan is as thin-skinned as paper, and this request is a bit difficult for him.

*

Just after midnight that day, Chi Feifan went downstairs to the tea room to get some water, wearing slippers.

As luck would have it, Qin Yi and his team had just finished their post-match debriefing meeting and were coming out of the conference room.

As Qin Yi turned around, wearing his team uniform, Qi Song noticed a thick protective patch on the back of his neck.

Qi Song called out to him, "Are you about to enter your vulnerable period?"

"no."

"Then why are you putting up so many barrier patches?"

With his hands in his pockets, Qin Yi lazily replied, "My glands are a little uncomfortable, and I can't control my pheromones."

Every word of their conversation reached Chi Feifan's ears.

Chi Feifan's ears twitched, and before he knew it, the water in his cup almost overflowed.

Could this be a side effect of that pheromone-blocking injection? But wasn't that injection supposed to have no side effects?

Chi Feifan put the cup aside, looked down and opened his bracelet, using the information sharing function for the first time to check the other person's pheromone concentration—87%.

This is indeed a bit higher than normal for an Alpha who is not in a susceptible period.

Just then, right under Chi Feifan's nose, the pheromone concentration jumped up by two numbers again.

"..."

That evening, the team had just finished a day of training and returned to their rooms. Qin Yi had only been sitting down for a few minutes when Chi Feifan knocked on his door.

The two of them have barely spoken in the past two days.

With a stern face, Chi Feifan reached out to pull open Qin Yi's collar and examine his neck without saying a word.

Qin Yi didn't stop him, but looked at him with a chuckle: "Do you know that looking at an Alpha's neck casually is dangerous?"

"Stop talking nonsense." To get a better view, Chi Feifan forcefully pressed Qin Yi down into a chair. "Sit still."

Chi Feifan reached out and peeled off the barrier patch on the back of Qin Yi's neck, releasing a strong pheromone scent.

Seeing that Qin Yi's neck showed no abnormalities, Chi Feifan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He threw the barrier sticker into the trash can, crossed his arms, and leaned against the opposite table: "What's going on? Why am I feeling unwell?"

Qin Yi pulled up his collar: "It's nothing. The doctor said it's normal to have these reactions within a month."

Chi Feifan clenched his fingers.

He recalled the video of Qin Yi going for treatment, and what Qin Yi said to Wang Kang and the others when he was about to get off the plane.

"Qin Yi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Qin Yi sat in the chair and said calmly, "I told you, I have a wish, and only you can help me fulfill that wish."

Chi Feifan's shoulders heaved twice, and a blush suddenly rose on his face, quickly spreading to his ears.

He knew what Qin Yi was talking about; Qin Yi still wanted him to wear that maid outfit.

Suddenly, Qin Yi stood up from his chair.

Chi Feifan gritted his teeth and looked up. Qin Yi was suddenly taller than him, and the oppressive aura that Alphas are born with enveloped him.

"If you really don't want to, that's okay. My glands and wrists don't hurt that much; I can just bear with it."

Perhaps feeling it would be a shame not to see Chi Feifan in a skirt, Qin Yi lowered his head and added, "Or you could kiss me a few more times."

Chi Feifan couldn't stand it when someone spoke sweet words to him like that, especially when Qin Yi was so close that his breath was spraying all over his eyelashes.

He raised his hand and covered Qin Yi's mouth: "I can wear it, but you have to wear it first. I'll wear it if you can wear it."

Chi Feifan had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. Since Qin Yi wanted to see him wear it so much, he would turn the tables on him.

You like watching it, right? If you like watching it, then wear it yourself.

He simply didn't believe that Qin Yi, an Alpha, could accept this.

Qin Yi stared at him silently for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.

At 2:04 AM, Qin Yi posted a selfie in front of a mirror on Weibo.

In the photo, Qin Yi is wearing a maid outfit inspired by the newly released dessert and coffee shop theme from Survivors. He is facing the mirror sideways, holding a phone in one hand and lifting the lace apron tied around his waist with the other. He is looking at his phone, smiling with the corners of his mouth turned up, and you can vaguely see the tip of his tongue touching his canine teeth.

【? ? ? 】

[What the hell?! How much did the survivors pay you to promote this?!]

I wasn't planning on buying it, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to send money to the survivors again... Damn capitalism, you win!

Bro, why are you so flirtatious!

Chi Feifan sat blankly in the chair, watching the number of reposts, comments and likes on Qin Yi's Weibo post increase wildly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He didn't expect Qin Yi to have already bought the outfit online, nor did he expect Qin Yi to actually accept it, and he certainly didn't expect Qin Yi to post about it on Weibo with such pride.

But he wasn't ready yet; he had originally planned to use this request to shut Qin Yi up.

Chi Feifan suddenly stood up from his chair, his face flushed red, unable to say a word, and even embarrassed to glance at Qin Yi before turning to leave.

Unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough, and his wrist was grabbed.

"Bang."

Qin Yi wrapped his arms around his waist from behind and pressed down on the door panel that was opening inward.

A soft laugh landed in her ear: "How can you go back on your word? You'll hurt my feelings."
