[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Twenty minutes later, 1A1O returned to the van amidst the teasing glances of the crowd.

Everyone wore a subtle smile, yet remained silent in tacit agreement.

But such a quiet atmosphere is often the most suffocating. Li Zhi almost stumbled back to her seat and sat down.

Song Bo was going to take team photos in the afternoon, and since time was tight, he ordered a boxed lunch to eat in the car.

The boxed lunches were only handed out after the two returned, and everyone's attention finally shifted from them to the food.

Taking the opportunity, Li Zhi angrily punched Xie Jichuan's shoulder and accused him in a low voice:

"It's all your fault. You insisted on hugging us for so long, and then the manager had to call us back. It was so embarrassing."

Xie Jichuan leaned out and brought back two boxed lunches. As he helped Li Zhi unpack the disposable tableware, he chuckled softly.

"Is it all my fault?"

He took out the chopsticks and carefully rubbed off any splinters or burrs that might be on them, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

"Which little Omega is behind me? He's practically clinging to me!"

Li Zhi was enraged and embarrassed.

It was indeed him, but he seriously suspected that Xie Jichuan, that scheming Alpha, had secretly released pheromones to seduce him.

The scent of peppermint liqueur wafted up in circles as they embraced, making him feel weak and dizzy. Before he knew it, he had no strength left and could only lean on Xie Jichuan.

He reached out to hit the person again to vent his anger, but a pair of disassembled chopsticks were shoved into his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the lid of the lunchbox was opened and placed steadily on the small table in front of him.

Xie Jichuan even readily picked up a box of juice, inserted the straw, bent it to the right angle, and then took out a few tissues, folded them into neat little squares, and placed them one by one beside Li Zhi.

Seeing that he had done all this, Li Zhi's anger immediately subsided.

He happily picked up his lunchbox and began to enjoy his meal.

After the meal, Li Zhi munched on the apple Xie Jichuan had peeled, and was then given a glass of warm water to rinse her mouth.

He took the water glass, gulped it down twice, and spat the water into an empty glass that Xie Jichuan had somehow conjured up.

Then, satisfied, I put on the blindfold, shrank back into the seat, and started to feel dizzy from the carbon monoxide.

The warmth and sweetness of the food spread from my stomach to my limbs, and the car drove along, swaying gently, the engine's hum like a low, soothing lullaby.

Li Zhi slowly sank into the darkness of the blindfold, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

Xie Jichuan looked at Li Zhi, who had eaten her fill and was now asleep, with a smile.

Omega slumped in his chair, his cheeks flushed pink by the sunlight, his lips slightly parted, looking like a satiated cat.

He reached out and turned down the air conditioning on the ceiling above their row, then took off his coat and gently draped it over Li Zhi.

Then, he carefully reached out and turned Kurichi's head to rest on his shoulder.

Li Zhi unconsciously rubbed against him, finding a more comfortable position, and her breathing gradually became long and even.

Xie Jichuan lowered his head and looked at Li Zhi's sleeping face. He watched her quietly for a long time before finally closing his eyes to rest for a while.

The van stopped in front of the building, and Li Zhi was just woken up by the slight bumps of the vehicle.

He dazedly took off his blindfold, and what came into view was Xie Jichuan's shoulder.

There was also a small, suspicious, damp mark.

Li Zhi sprang her head away with a "whoosh," raised her hand and placed it on top of her head to cover up the fact that she was drooling in her sleep.

"woke up?"

Xie Jichuan's voice came from above, carrying a hint of languid hoarseness from just closing his eyes to rest.

"Yes, we've arrived."

Li Zhi casually straightened Xie Jichuan's clothes, covering the small damp patch with her collar.

The car came to a stop, and the group, wearing team uniforms, filed out. Staff members were already waiting at the entrance to guide them.

WPL's media area was much larger than Li Zhi had imagined.

The corridor was spacious and bright, with posters of various e-sports teams and photos of past finals hanging on the walls, creating a strong e-sports atmosphere.

The changing rooms were divided into different areas according to gender. As the only Omega in the team, Li Zhi could only be separated from her teammates for a short time and went into the male Omega changing room on the other side of the corridor by herself.

The fitting room wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.

After carefully changing her clothes, Li Zhi looked up at herself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was wearing a brand-new team uniform. The black and pink color scheme made his skin look very fair, and the shoulder line was neatly and sharply tailored by the jacket.

His gaze slowly moved upwards, landing on the small team emblem on his chest, its fine, shimmering threads twinkling in the light, embroidered with his ID.

RAK-Lychee.

Li Zhi's lips moved slightly, practicing somewhat awkwardly:

"Hello everyone, I'm RAK-Lychee."

The moment the words fell, a sense of peace suddenly welled up inside me, like a ship that had been adrift for a long time finally seeing the shore.

Omega was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling.

He took one last look at himself in the mirror, turned around, pushed open the fitting room door, and walked briskly out to find his remaining teammates.

A figure walked towards you from around the corner.

The newcomer was a female Alpha, tall and with a capable aura, her sharp suit dress highlighting her smooth figure.

Li Zhi looked at her and felt that the face looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

It was the other person who spoke first, their tone tinged with surprise: "You are... Lychee from QW's youth academy?"

Her voice is clear and steady, with the enunciation quality unique to a professional host.

Li Zhi suddenly remembered that this was Nan Shu, the female host who presented him with the award at the Rookie Cup back then.

Nan Shu was delighted to see him. She glanced down at the team emblem on his chest, her surprise deepening, and her tone became warmer:

"So the mid laner RAK reported was really you. I thought it was just a coincidence of names. Congratulations on returning to the competition."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Nan Shu."

Nan Shu smiled and glanced at him twice, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her brows furrowing slightly:

"So, you're also the online streamer Lychee?"

Li Zhi nodded obediently.

Nan Shu's expression became even more serious. "Do you know if there's a post smearing this matter? Do you need me to clarify things for you? I have some influence in this circle."

Li Zhi felt a warmth in her heart, but still shook her head: "Sister Nan Shu, I appreciate your kindness, but I will clarify things myself when the time is right."

Nan Shu wouldn't impose her will on him; seeing his refusal, she simply smiled and nodded.

"Okay, RAK's dressing room is at the end of the corridor. I'm busy, so I won't take you there."

Kuri nods and thanks her, and the two part ways.

Nan Shu walked in another direction, the sound of her high heels fading into the distance in the corridor.

Li Zhi turned around, about to continue walking forward, when a voice rang out from the other side of the corner, filled with obvious excitement and nervousness:

"So you're Lychee?"
