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

It's all because of the 100% compatibility; the Alpha pheromones easily drew out even more Omega pheromones.

Chi Feifan kept a straight face and spoke rapidly to hide his inner impatience.

"Fine, I didn't hear you!"

He would never say it a second time.

Qin Yi silently stared into his eyes, while his other free hand reached directly into his pocket.

Chi Feifan's annoyed expression froze, and before he could say anything, Qin Yi had a ring box in his hand.

Qin Yi chuckled and looked down at him, "Is this a surprise you prepared for me?"

Chi Feifan was speechless, never expecting that Qin Yi would discover it before he even took it out.

"When did you buy it?"

"Was this premeditated?"

"Is this what you were planning to give me in the lounge?"

With each word he spoke, Qin Yi's smile deepened.

Chi Feifan's mind went blank for a moment.

Having spent so much time with Qin Yi, he gradually came to understand the meaning behind Qin Yi's smile.

Chi Feifan's breathing became heavier, his chest heaving: "Did you already know all along?"

Seeing Qin Yi's eyes crinkle with shamelessness, Chi Feifan's tone hardened, his clenched fist seeming ready to break free from Qin Yi's grasp at any moment: "Are you playing me?"

Qin Yi's smile faded, and he lowered his voice: "No, I just found out by chance. After finding out, I've been looking forward to it ever since, wondering when you would give it to me. I've been waiting for it every day."

Given that Qin Yi's words seemed sincere and the seriousness in his eyes didn't appear fake, Chi Feifan turned his head away.

"Oh, just bought it from a roadside stall." His ears suddenly turned hot. "What's there to expect?"

Qin Yi opened the ring box with one hand and chuckled, "A roadside stall actually engraves the inner ring?"

The lie was exposed in less than two seconds.

Chi Feifan: "...Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Give it back if you don't like it."

Qin Yi was afraid that holding Chi Feifan's wrist for too long would hurt, so he released his hand from Chi Feifan's wrist: "Of course I like it. I would like it even if you gave me a metal ring from a soda can."

With his bound wrists freed, Chi Feifan sat up and snatched the box from Qin Yi's hand.

He bought it, so he should be the one to wear it.

Chi Feifan took the ring out of the box and coldly commanded, "Give me your hand."

The light gold ring didn't have many fancy diamonds; it shimmered softly under the hotel lights.

Chi Feifan clutched the ring, somewhat nervous.

I measured Qin Yi's finger size before, but I did it secretly while he was asleep, and I was afraid he would find out, so I was in a hurry and I don't know if there will be a big error.

Time seemed to stand still.

In the silence, a buzzing vibration suddenly appeared on Chi Feifan's wrist, a reminder that his heart rate was too high.

Chi Feifan held Qin Yi's hand, his fingertips trembling slightly as he gripped the ring.

It's so annoying, why is it shaking?

Qin Yi lowered his eyelashes and suddenly raised his hand to grasp Chi Feifan's fingers.

Qin Yi's palms were very warm, and the warmth gradually spread from his fingertips.

Following Qin Yi's movements, Chi Feifan's fingers precisely pushed the ring into his fingertip, making it just the right size.

Chi Feifan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.

Qin Yi has long fingers, and this light gold band ring does look better than a silver one.

After putting on the ring, he stared at the couple's rings on his hand and Qin Yi's hand for a long time, then suddenly remembered the cake that had been neglected.

The candle stained a small patch of cream in the center yellow; that part is probably inedible.

Qin Yi asked, "Would you like to order another one?"

To be honest, he didn't really pay attention to what that candle looked like.

"Never mind, let's just eat." Chi Feifan didn't care much about these things.

Just as he was about to grab the small plastic knife for cutting the cake, Qin Yi reached out first, scooped out a piece of cream from the side with his finger, and smeared it on Chi Feifan's neck.

Chi Feifan instinctively shrank back: "What?"

Qin Yi lowered his head: "Didn't you say we should eat cake?"

The area covered in cream is very close to the glands.

Qin Yi slowly ate the cream, his Alpha canines occasionally brushing against the back of his neck.

My neck turned red quickly, and the unfamiliar touch made my fingertips go numb.

Chi Feifan grabbed Qin Yi's hair: "How can you eat like that!"

Qin Yi stared at him intently, as if locking onto his prey, a smirk playing on his lips as he licked away the cream that had gotten on his lips.

Qin Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box with English letters and numbers written on it.

"When did you buy this?" Chi Feifan felt the pheromone concentration in the room had increased.

Qin Yi: "It was a free gift when I bought a lighter at the convenience store downstairs."

"You're talking nonsense—ugh..."

Who gives this thing away with a lighter?

Cream smeared on his collarbone, and Qin Yi's hair occasionally brushed against Chi Feifan's chin. Chi Feifan raised his arm to cover his mouth.

"bite--"

The air conditioner in the room was turned on and set to a comfortable temperature.

Fair skin paired with sweet cream makes for the most delicious cake.

"The window, the window is gone..."

Qin Yi raised his hand and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness: "Our room is located on a high floor, and there are no other buildings opposite, so even if we don't draw the curtains, no one will be able to see us."

The fragrance of hyacinths is overwhelming.

During the period when the eyes have not yet adjusted to the darkness, the sense of touch becomes unusually pronounced.

Chi Feifan gritted his teeth: "Stop doing this!"

Qin Yi obediently replied, "Okay, let's go somewhere else."

Qin Yi extended the hand with the ring on it, his middle and ring fingers smeared with cream.

Chi Feifan's eyes widened, somewhat panicked: "What are you going to do?"

Qin Yi leaned down: "I'll claim the special reward myself."

*

The moon was setting in the west outside the window, its cold, white light spilling onto the ground, where coats lay scattered in the shadows.

Chi Feifan's eyes were as clear and bright as if they had been washed.

As he was about to lose consciousness, he tilted his head in a daze and felt the moon in the sky swaying.

The deep blue night sky is like a vast, boundless sea, with stars forming shimmering waves.

For a moment, his instinct made him want to run away, but he had already exhausted his strength in the previous hours and couldn't even lift a finger.

So he could only weakly accept everything the other party gave him, unable to even cry out, feeling as if he was about to drown in the moonlight.

The flight the next day is at 6 PM.

Even though everyone was exhausted from playing the day before, they were all in good spirits after a morning of rest, except for Chi Feifan.

Chi Feifan was wearing a scarf, with three barrier patches on the back of his neck to suppress the pheromones that had merged with those of the hyacinth. He was wearing a hat with the brim pulled low, and as soon as he got in the car, he curled up in a corner to sleep. His long down jacket covered his knees.

Everyone on the bus was quietly wearing headphones and watching videos, afraid to laugh or joke for fear of waking him up.

He slept all the way to the airport, and everyone thought he would be awake by now, but he continued to sleep after boarding the plane.

Perhaps because sleeping sitting up like this wasn't very comfortable, Chi Feifan didn't actually sleep very soundly. The whispers of Yu Xingchen and Wang Kang talking in the back row drifted into his ears.

"What's wrong with Brother Chi? Why has he suddenly become so sleepy?"

"Maybe he got sick because he wasn't dressed warmly enough? Never mind, we don't need to worry about that. Isn't the team leader there to take care of him?"

Chi Feifan closed his eyes and moved his head to a more comfortable position, his whole body aching terribly.

He was tormented all night, and if he hadn't lost consciousness at the end, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for even a minute.

All of this stemmed from him saying to Qin Yi last night while hugging his neck: "Mark me, the kind that binds me forever."
