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

After watching the movie, although it seemed that all four of them had bought tickets, only Cheng Yuan's cousin actually enjoyed it.

The children, still excited after leaving the movie theater, chattered behind the group, discussing the plot. They would occasionally tug at Cheng Yuan's arm and shake it vigorously, to which Cheng Yuan could only offer a few weak, perfunctory replies.

Qin Yi walked behind with Chi Feifan. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, he secretly leaned close to Chi Feifan's ear and said, "Why didn't you tell him you came with me? Am I really that embarrassing?"

Chi Feifan put his hands in his pockets and turned his head slightly away: "No."

"What is it that you're unwilling to reveal to me?" Qin Yi continued, "We've already met each other's parents, haven't we?"

When Cheng Yuan turned around, he saw Qin Yi talking to Chi Feifan. Chi Feifan's neck turned red, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

"Ahem!" Cheng Yuan cleared his throat. "Shall we grab a bite to eat together right away?"

Chi Feifan brushed Qin Yi's hand off his shoulder, and quickly replied, trying to cover up his misunderstanding, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

Cheng Yuan suggested, "Let's have some barbecue. It's too cold today, we should eat something warm."

Just then, Qin Yi's cell phone rang; someone was calling him.

Qin Yi took it out and saw that it was Chen Yangyang.

Chi Feifan, standing next to him, also caught a glimpse of the caller's name.

For some reason, receiving a call from the base on my day off always gives me a bad feeling.

Qin Yi answered the call, listened for a few minutes, and responded in a low voice with his eyes down.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with the team?" Chi Feifan frowned.

Qin Yi chuckled: "Yeah, the show that was supposed to be recorded tomorrow was suddenly moved up a day due to the guests' schedules, and Chen Yangyang told me to rush back now."

"Oh." Chi Feifan said expressionlessly, taking the half-finished cola from Qin Yi's hand. "Then you can go."

Qin Yi, who had been in a very good mood since leaving home in the morning, gradually lost his smile.

He didn't really want to go.

Although he and Chi Feifan had simply gone shopping together before the Lunar New Year, this time was different. This time, Chi Feifan took the initiative to ask him out. It was their first date in Haishi, but it was interrupted by something that happened in the team.

Qin Yi lowered his head and reopened his phone, fiddling with something.

A while later, Chi Feifan received a text message notification that his bank card had received a large transfer.

"What is this?"

"I'll treat everyone to lunch today to the prize money that the previous finals champion received."

"No, take it away." Chi Feifan hurriedly turned off the phone screen.

Cheng Yuan was still watching from the side!

Qin Yi raised his hand and rubbed the back of Chi Feifan's head: "Go home early after you finish eating."

"Tsk." Chi Feifan vigorously smoothed his hair, which Qin Yi had messed up, his expression unfriendly. "I've wanted to say this for a long time. Can you please stop touching my head all the time?"

However, he himself was stunned after saying that.

It seems that this wasn't his original plan. Why did he need to discuss it with Qin Yi? Shouldn't he have just twisted his arm to warn him?

After Qin Yi left, Cheng Yuan, who had already been half-fed, floated over resentfully and questioned, "Tell me, what's going on between you two? Are you really dating? When did it happen?"

During the entire meal, Cheng Yuan was either in shock or on his way to being in shock.

Cheng Yuan handed his cousin an empty plate and instructed him to go to the fruit buffet table and take two pieces of each type of fruit.

The only minor at the table left, and Cheng Yuan covered his mouth with his hand, lowering his voice to ask, "Did you two do it?"

"Pfft—cough cough cough..."

Chi Feifan choked on the water, his face turning red, and he coughed violently.

That's too blatant; no wonder they sent the kids away.

Everyone here is an adult, and Cheng Yuan didn't think it was a big deal, but he was afraid that Chi Feifan would dump the barbecue on his head, so he quickly explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I just wanted to give you some advice as your brother."

Chi Feifan coughed until his ears almost rang.

Then Cheng Yuan uttered the resounding eight-character proverb: "Never forget to wear a mask."

After finally recovering, Chi Feifan's eyes darted around and he said, "No, we only... held hands once."

"Really?" Cheng Yuan slowly leaned back, feeling like a worried old mother.

There's nothing we can do; he grew up with Chi Feifan. Chi Feifan has only had one relationship in his twenty-plus years of life, and it was a platonic one at that. He's like a blank sheet of paper, completely unaware of the wickedness in an Alpha's heart.

"In short, no matter how excited you get in the future, don't believe Alpha's nonsense. Always double-check, or he might use a rubber band to trick you into thinking it's super thin."

"..."

Why did Qin Yi's face appear in Cheng Yuan's mind when he said those words?

Chi Feifan stared intently at the cup in his hand, his fingers gripping it so tightly they turned white. For the first time, Cheng Yuan had blocked him from uttering a single word.

He knew Cheng Yuan meant well, but that didn't stop him from wanting to sew Cheng Yuan's mouth shut with a needle, then put him on a baking tray and sizzle him so he couldn't even scream.

For the rest of the time, Chi Feifan had a sour face.

Cheng Yuan seemed annoying, but for some reason, he also felt annoyed thinking about Qin Yi, so annoyed that he wanted to take off his turtleneck sweater as well.

After eating and drinking his fill, Cheng Yuan stretched and prepared to send his cousin home before going out for a drive with Chi Feifan.

To everyone's surprise, just as the three of them reached the underground parking lot, Cheng Yuan's car door, which was parked in a VIP parking space, was scratched by someone with a sharp object.

Cheng Yuan was instantly enraged: "Which bastard did this! Damn it, I want to see the security footage!"

Chi Feifan heard footsteps behind him and turned around to see a boy with a perm and a string of English letters tattooed on the side of his neck walk out.

He had a curvaceous woman on his arm, and two henchmen followed behind him: "I did it. I didn't expect your dad to release you so quickly."

Cheng Yuan turned around, and after recognizing the person, gritted his teeth: "I haven't even gone looking for you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep. Are you looking for death?!"

It seems this is the group of people who had a falling out with Cheng Yuan before.

Chi Feifan glanced around and it seemed that, apart from the girl, the others were all Alphas.

They scattered and stood in all directions, some even blocking Cheng Yuan's car.

Chi Feifan knew this was no coincidence; the other party had come specifically to cause trouble, and was extremely arrogant, showing no fear even though there were surveillance cameras around.

The leader looked at Chi Feifan and said with a sneer, "Oh, aren't you the Pei family's former marriage partner? Shaoming said your family's conditions are just so-so. If it weren't for our previous cooperation, he wouldn't even bother to look at you. How come you're getting involved with that Cheng guy now?"

People from families like theirs generally have interconnected social circles, but Chi Feifan rarely interacts with anyone other than Cheng Yuan.

This person had clearly misunderstood something, thinking that Chi Feifan and Cheng Yuan were together.

Cheng Yuan's face was extremely grim, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Chi Feifan felt that it must be because he hadn't been on Hawk for too long recently.

"Oh, so you're Pei Shaoming's friend. Didn't Pei Shaoming tell you what happened back then?"

The bracelet on my wrist: "Beep beep!"

I was already annoyed that my date was interrupted today.

Chi Feifan tightened his eyelids, twitched his fingers, and turned off the sound reminder from the bracelet.

"He's just a dog who bullies others because his dad can stop him, barking wildly. What, you envy him? You're barking so loudly like him."
