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

The temperature on the plane was a bit high, and Chi Feifan was sweating a bit after sleeping for a while. Qin Yi helped him take off his down jacket and covered him with a blanket.

After what seemed like the umpteenth time the blanket slipped down, Chi Feifan finally fell asleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt his hand being grabbed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Yi taking a picture of their hands, which were clasped together and adorned with rings, with his phone.

Upon realizing that Chi Feifan was awake, Qin Yi turned off his phone and whispered in his ear, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to rub your stomach for a bit?"

Chi Feifan pulled his hand back and tucked it into the blanket, saying with a nasal tone, "No need. Didn't I already take the special medicine for permanent marking when I left? Don't be so mushy."

After saying that, he couldn't help but turn his head to one side and yawn.

There was an airplane meal in front of him, but he didn't want to eat it. His lower abdomen was sore and he wasn't hungry at all.

Qin Yi admired the dozens of photos on his phone, selected a few that he thought were the best angles, and sent them to Fox.

Y: Do you know whose hand this is?

Y: This is my hand.

Y: Is it pretty? My boyfriend gave it to me.

Y: My boyfriend loves me so much, you'll never see us break up, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

The other party's typing status flashed several times.

Finally, after a long time, Fox gritted his teeth and threw out a sentence.

Fox: Oh, congratulations!

Qin Yi smiled contentedly as he turned off his phone. He looked up and saw Chi Feifan also huddled in his seat, scrolling through something on his phone.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yi reached out and pulled the scarf covering his chin down a little.

Chi Feifan coldly lowered his eyes: "I'm searching for a reasonable transfer fee for you."

Last night, he wanted to rest for a while and asked Qin Yi to stop, but Qin Yi insisted on making him say "I love you" again, promising to stop after he said it.

Unexpectedly, it was all a lie; saying it only added fuel to the fire. After that, no matter what Chi Feifan said, Qin Yi would only reply with one sentence: "Yes, I love you too."

Qin Yi chuckled: "You really want to sell me off? I have an injury on my hand. What if I get ostracized and benched by other teams?"

Chi Feifan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Qin Yi: "How about this, you deduct my salary, and I don't want the prize money from the finals. I'm willing to play for Hawk for free."

Chi Feifan: "..."

*

Back in Haishi, Hawk held a victory celebration banquet with the kids from the second team at the base.

Old Jiang is really retiring this time, but he has no regrets about it. He's leaving in the rain of gold.

He held the final trophy and posted a photo on Weibo of himself reverently kissing it.

Hawk held a grand farewell ceremony for him, and the team's official Weibo account reposted Lao Jiang's Weibo post.

The comments section was remarkably consistent this time, with everyone saying: Goodbye, Old Chiang! May your future be bright!

Before leaving, he made a point of finding Chi Feifan in the crowd. He was able to leave the stage he loved without any regrets thanks to Chi Feifan.

Chi Feifan cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound normal: "I still stand by what I said before."

good luck.

Old Jiang paused for a moment, then clenched his fist and pounded his chest: "You too, I will come back to see you often."

Wang Kang was busy eating skewers, having starved himself to the bone from eating bread all day in Paris. Now that Lao Jiang had fulfilled his dream, he knew that returning to a normal life was the best choice for him, so he wasn't sad at all about Lao Jiang leaving him.

Upon hearing that Lao Jiang would be back, Wang Kang waved the bamboo skewer in his hand and said, "Take care, and remember to bring me some local specialties when you come back."

Yu Xingchen couldn't help but chuckle.

Chiang Kai-shek offered two middle fingers.

After Lao Jiang left, the team had no substitutes. Chen Yangyang and Qi Song discussed it carefully and decided to select outstanding players from the second team or youth trainees to form a substitute team, so as to deal with various emergencies.

Having nothing to do after finishing the competition, Qin Yi started a live stream in his room to kill time, and casually asked Chen Yangyang for a list of substitute team members.

There were four people in total, all young people around eighteen or nineteen years old.

Qin Yi casually flipped through the forms they had filled out. Each one of them had a very proper attitude and neat handwriting. Even something as casual as the reason for joining the team was written in full.

Qin Yi glanced at it briefly.

"My dream has always been to promote the spirit of esports, join Hawk, win glory for my country, and stand on the professional stage..."

Everything was normal until Qin Yi caught a glimpse of the closing remarks.

"I really like the team's atmosphere and Brother Chi. Brother Chi is the best boss I've ever met."

The smile on Qin Yi's lips disappeared.

Although he knew that this "like" didn't mean anything else, and he simply thought Chi Feifan was great, it still felt strangely unpleasant to hear.

The comments kept flooding in.

[What did you see? Why aren't you laughing?]

Why do you need a stepfather?

I now feel a sense of fear towards Qin Yi; I can no longer predict what he will do next.

Qin Yi peeled a lollipop and put it in his mouth, his fingertip thoughtfully tapping on the documents.

After a moment, he minimized the live stream interface, so that his viewers could only see his desktop and his face in the camera.

Qin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to Chi Feifan.

Y: There seems to be a problem with the information on the substitute team.

What's the problem?

Y: Come here and I'll tell you.

Chi Feifan was unaware that Qin Yi was live-streaming. Since he had nothing to do at the base, he pushed open the door and came in a few minutes later.

However, what he didn't know was that the moment he pushed open the door, the live stream chat exploded.

【Ah, the cat's here!】

[Live, you forgot to turn off your camera!]

Was it intentional or accidental?

[What does Live want to do? Kitty, run!]

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Chi Feifan got close, Qin Yi took the opportunity to put his arm around his waist and pull him onto his lap, completely encircling Chi Feifan in Qin Yi's arms.

Chi Feifan immediately remembered.

Qin Yi rested his chin on his shoulder: "Let's just look at it like this, there's no one else here anyway."

The live stream chat was flooded with question marks.

What do you mean? Aren't we human?

I'm really unfollowing you. How did I ever become a fan of yours?!

Don't think I don't have connections in Haishi!

[Anyone in Shanghai? Let's crowdfund a Didi ride-hailing service!]

Unfortunately, no matter how many comments flooded the screen, Chi Feifan remained unaware.

He was facing the monitor, glanced up at the camera in front of him, and didn't think much of it.

It's said that you look 10 pounds heavier on camera, but Chi Feifan's face looks almost the same as usual under the high-definition camera in the live stream. In fact, his features are even clearer and more defined at close range.

As he carefully reviewed the contestants' information, his brows furrowed habitually, and from the camera's perspective, his long eyelashes could be seen fluttering slightly.

"Look at the 'Reason for Joining' section, isn't it a bit too much?" Qin Yi pointed.

Chi Feifan didn't see anything wrong: "Is having more wrong too?"

Qin Yi: "No, it just looks a bit crowded. Since you don't think it's a problem, then it's fine."

After saying that, he gently brushed his nose against Chi Feifan's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He was just looking for an excuse to call Chi Feifan over.

[Damn, I can't take this anymore, I'm reporting it.]

【Live, you scoundrel】

They're getting more and more brazen! They really don't treat us like outsiders. Well, actually, I don't really want to be treated like outsiders either.

Just then, Chi Feifan's phone beeped, and he received a delivery notification.

Chi Feifan stared at the notice for several seconds, searching his memory for a while.

He doesn't seem to have bought anything lately, so why is there a package?
