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

Around 8 PM, the Hawk team finally finished recording and returned to base.

Qin Yi was chewing gum and carrying a bag in his hand.

After the recording ended, he came out and happened to see a stall selling roasted chestnuts nearby, so he bought some freshly roasted ones to bring back to Chi Feifan.

After observing Chi Feifan closely for some time, Qin Yi discovered that Chi Feifan didn't seem to like sweets very much.

But roasted chestnuts were an exception. During the Lunar New Year period, Chi Feifan really liked them. He would peel and eat as many as he could each time. But later, for some reason, he stopped peeling them and insisted on doing it himself.

"Manager, can we stop doing TV shows in the future? They're always recording for seven or eight hours straight, and I'm not even on camera." Wang Kang was carrying several takeout bags like a starving ghost.

Although he was aware of his own appearance, if anyone questioned him, he would say that everyone has an awkward phase, and he just hadn't fully matured yet.

And who doesn't want to be famous?

Being invited to record a show with several celebrities not only increases the team's popularity, but also allows them to ride the wave of traffic from the show's broadcasting platform. Other teams would probably be laughing all the way to the bank.

This is the first time I've heard Wang Kang admit that he's not good-looking, just because he didn't want to continue working non-stop.

Yu Xingchen's stomach was also growling with hunger: "Yeah, manager, this isn't work, it's torture. Nobody told us before we went that we'd be teaming up with celebrities for an exhibition match."

Chen Yangyang was so busy today that she didn't even have time to get her hair done, so she coaxed them gently, "Okay, okay, you guys go up first, I'll reimburse your takeout expenses tonight."

After all the team members went upstairs, Chen Yangyang took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes wearily.

Let alone the contestants, he himself didn't expect to record for so long and do so much today.

Hawk's victory this time generated a lot of buzz, and many people who don't play Survivor have seen their victory video.

The organizers also wanted to capitalize on this wave of traffic, so they invited several celebrities to participate in a program. For the first episode, they had all the members of Hawk participate in the recording, both teams.

Recording is fine, exhibition matches are fine, but there are always a few celebrities who are too delicate and need everyone to accommodate and take care of them. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they start to put on a sullen face and have tears in their eyes. People who don't know them would think that they have suffered a great injustice. They are completely incomprehensible to a group of straight-male-minded kids.

Whether it's an exhibition match or any other kind of competition, isn't the point of a game to get points? Shouldn't you just sell out teammates who can't be helped? In professional matches, some people even finish off points for their teammates themselves to prevent other teams from getting those points.

One segment took almost four hours to record.

Qin Yi felt a slight discomfort in his fingers, so he rubbed them as he went upstairs.

He paused for a moment when he reached the dormitory floor.

The door to Chi Feifan's room was dark, and the lights were off.

Did they go to bed so early? Or haven't they come back yet?

Qin Yi knocked on the door twice, but no one answered. After a few seconds, he pushed the door open from the outside.

The house was as cold as an icebox. The windows that had been opened for ventilation when I left in the morning were still open, so it was obvious that I hadn't come back yet.

In a police station in Shanghai, Uncle Hat was giving a serious pep talk to several people in the corridor.

"Fighting in public places is illegal, as is intentionally damaging other people's property! Why can't we resolve things through discussion instead of resorting to violence?"

The boy with the perm had tissues stuffed into his nostrils to stop the bleeding, while his two brothers sitting in the same row had bruises on their faces.

They were facing Cheng Yuan and Chi Feifan.

The police arrived after receiving a call from onlookers. When they got there, the two groups of people were fighting. The police managed to separate them with great difficulty. Upon questioning, they learned that the group with the perm had started the fight.

The guy with the perm initially tried to deny it, refusing to admit that they started it. He claimed he had already had the parking lot surveillance footage retrieved, otherwise he wouldn't have been so arrogant.

Unexpectedly, Chi Feifan immediately pulled out his phone: "I recorded a video."

In the video footage, the other party was provoking Cheng Yuan. After Chi Feifan turned on the recording function, he put his phone in his pocket, leaving only the camera lens exposed. Immediately afterwards, the other party began to provoke Chi Feifan again, and after being angered by Chi Feifan's words, he changed his expression and stepped forward.

The screen then became shaky, and the phone fell to the ground; all that could be heard was the sound of fighting.

"Fine, you fucking tricked me!" The boy with the perm was agitated, but was subdued by the man in the hat.

The last two groups of people were taken back to the police station.

The two police officers who had just been taking statements in the office were chatting quietly while listening to the impassioned ideological education outside the window.

"There are four people on the other side. Even if that girl didn't participate in the fight, there are still three male Alphas. On this side, there's one Alpha, one Omega, and a primary school student. The difference... tsk tsk. I didn't expect the other side to be the ones getting beaten up."

"Me too. When I saw them come in, I thought that Omega was trying to cause trouble. After all, he had such a bad attitude and a fierce expression, and he wasn't even hurt. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?"

The police officers outside finally finished their ideological education. The group with the tin foil perm had started the trouble first, and the evidence was conclusive. They were also caught on camera by Cheng Yuan's dashcam when they were scratching the car. They were now facing compensation and detention.

Chi Feifan and Cheng Yuan were released, while Cheng Yuan's cousin had already been taken back by his parents.

Chi Feifan's phone was out of battery, but he pressed the button twice more, unwilling to give up.

"Cheng Yuan." Seeing that he really couldn't turn on the phone, Chi Feifan gave up and called out to Cheng Yuan, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Without thinking, Cheng Yuan handed it to him: "What for?"

Chi Feifan was too lazy to switch accounts back and forth, so he directly added Qin Yi's WeChat using Cheng Yuan's account.

Cheng Yuan was surprised: "When did your memory become so good? You even remember his WeChat ID so clearly."

Is this still the same Chi Feifan he knew from his school days who couldn't even remember the simplest words?

Chi Feifan ignored him.

Qin Yi quickly accepted Cheng Yuan's friend request.

It was cold outside the police station, but Chi Feifan's expression was even colder. His brows were furrowed, and he licked his dry lips with some hesitation, wondering how to start the conversation.

Qin Yi was the first to send a message—

Y: Is Chi Feifan with you?

Chi Feifan hesitated for only about a second, or even less, before the other party made a phone call.

Chi Feifan cleared his throat and answered the phone with his back to the wind: "My phone is dead."

The person on the other end relaxed a little upon hearing Chi Feifan's voice: "Where are you? Should I come pick you up?"

Chi Feifan tilted his head and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his eye that had been scratched during the fight.

At first, he didn't even know he was injured. He only discovered it when he was bored standing in the police station office and looked through the dark glass.

"You don't need to pick me up. I have some family matters to attend to tonight and might not be going back to base. I just... wanted to let you know."

The other person was silent for a moment, then asked, "What happened? Is it serious? I'll come with you."

"No, don't come. It's nothing serious, we just had a little argument. I'm out now, and I'll be staying out for the next couple of days..."

Just as Chi Feifan was rambling on somewhat hastily, he heard a soft laugh coming from the phone.

Then, a voice came from both the phone and the taxi that had just stopped in front of them.

"Actually, you're really not good at lying."

"Bang."

The taxi door was closed.

When Qin Yi left, he was wearing a crisp overcoat, which made him look even taller. He stood there, pressed the hang-up button with a beep, and looked up.

Chi Feifan stood frozen in place, holding his phone, before suddenly realizing what was happening and grabbing the bracelet on his wrist.

Information sharing!

I used to think he wouldn't do anything shameful or go to any shady places, so I never turned off this feature. After a while, I almost forgot that this information sharing feature allows us to see each other's locations.

Chi Feifan has rarely felt truly guilty or afraid of anything.

But at this moment, Qin Yi's gaze swept across the corner of his eye, and he suddenly felt as if it was all over.
