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

The entire bedroom was almost entirely filled with all sorts of lychee-related items.

Lychee-shaped cushions are tilted at the head of the bed, lychee-patterned rugs are laid at the foot of the bed, and lychee-print sheets and duvet covers cover the entire bed, and so on.

Even the curtains are lychee-patterned, and when they're drawn, the whole room looks like a fruit filled with lychees.

If you only look at these elements, they can be considered cute and cozy.

It's like the bedroom of someone with an overly girlish heart; at most, their tastes are a bit monotonous, nothing particularly unusual.

What truly alarmed Li Zhi was the few posters on the wall displaying his personal photos.

And there was a cabinet covered with densely packed photos.

Xie Jichuan lay on the bed with a slight frown. On the bedside table was a box of special inhibitors that had already been opened.

Li Zhi ignored him and walked hesitantly to the cabinet.

His gaze fell on the wall of photos stacked upon each other, and he began to browse through them one by one.

These cover almost his entire timeline over the past two years.

From the day he first prepared for a live stream and went to the electronics market alone to buy a computer, the filming continued until the day he wore a baseball uniform to the UUC base to help Shi Kai play an entertainment game.

There were hundreds of them scattered around, densely covering the entire cabinet door.

Almost every photo was taken while he was out.

When he buys food, when he takes out the trash, when he rarely feels like taking a walk in the park...

They were all just ordinary, mundane daily routines.

Seeing this, Li Zhi even had the time to think for a moment. It was really not easy to take so many photos of him, after all, he really rarely went out.

Each photo also had writing next to it in black pen.

The handwriting was somewhat messy, with varying pressure and lightness in the strokes. Some characters even seemed to have fallen apart, as if the hand was trembling while writing.

"Baby, you've lost so much weight, I almost didn't recognize you from behind."

"Baby, why do you always buy so little food?"

"Baby, you need to go out and get some sunshine so you can grow taller."

"Baby, you're so beautiful, even more beautiful than before! How come you always look more beautiful than the last time I see you?"

"Baby, that person next to you is looking at you. I'm so annoyed. I can only see him through a photo."

"Baby, I really want to eat with you."

The handwriting was messy and intertwined, looking like unconscious rambling.

It's like someone talking to a photograph late at night, only to forget what they said as they talked.

I'll write another sentence whenever I remember it, and then I'll add another line if I feel it's not enough.

And the sentence that was repeated the most was:

"Baby, I miss you so much."

Li Zhi stood in front of the cabinet, browsing it from top to bottom.

He was initially horrified; having his life spied on for two years without his knowledge was indeed quite unsettling.

But as his eyes absorbed those rambling thoughts line by line, the discomfort gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable emotion.

It felt like something was slowly fermenting and expanding in my chest, and a secret joy even rose in my heart.

How could anyone in this world care about him so much?

Li Zhi knew that her idea was somewhat morbid.

But this feeling of being valued, of being cherished and thought about constantly, slowly washed over his entire body, immersing him completely in it.

The feeling of being possessed and needed made him feel incredibly at ease.

Just as Li Zhi was browsing further down the page, a deep, husky Alpha voice came from behind her.

With a nasal tone from just waking up and an uncertain, cautious feeling, as if trying to determine whether it was reality or a dream:

"Zhizhi? What are you doing here?"

After a few seconds, Xie Jichuan's brain seemed to come to its senses.

"Zhizhi, you..."

His voice was tense, carrying a sense of nervousness and helplessness.

Li Zhi turned around and saw Xie Jichuan suddenly sit up in bed, half-kneeling on the edge of the bed, his gaze looking directly at him across half the room.

It's like a person who has been sentenced and is waiting for the final verdict.

He suddenly understood why Xie Jichuan never allowed anyone to enter his bedroom at the base, why he would go out of his way to buy a pink women's wallet, and why Ji Yu said that after he went abroad, he always carried the scent of Omega pheromones when he returned to the base.

They thought it was a romantic encounter, a chance meeting in a foreign land, but no one knew that it was actually just the scent of low-quality, artificially synthesized pheromones.

It turns out it was all because of him.

Li Zhixin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings in an instant.

It hurts, it aches, it swells, and there's an indescribable heat spreading outwards from my heart, burning all my emotions into a blazing inferno.

Xie Jichuan was still kneeling on the bed, his cheeks flushed an unnatural red.

His back was ramrod straight, but he looked swaying precariously, like a tree about to break in the wind.

"Zhizhi, let me explain... I'm not a pervert, I just really want to see you, to see how you live alone."

"Those people taking photos, I've already told them, they will never follow you into the building..."

As he finished speaking, he realized he was being unreasonable, and his voice gradually lowered.

"I'm sorry, Zhizhi... I messed everything up."

Looking at him like this, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

He thought that by losing contact information, abandoning esports, escaping reality, and hiding in a livestream room where no one could find him, he was already being a coward enough.

Unexpectedly, there was a coward who didn't even dare to call back. He could only piece together a memory of a person from across the ocean, thousands of kilometers away, through live streams and secretly taken photos.

"Xie Jichuan."

Li Zhi's voice was a little hoarse, "So you're the coward."
