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

"That's why you're asking me to return it in two days."

Qin Yi glanced at the team uniform Chi Feifan was wearing under his jacket, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but chuckle, his early morning irritability miraculously vanishing.

His clothes were very large, with long sleeves and broad shoulders. Chi Feifan was wearing a loose, mid-length white coat today, probably to cover up his team uniform underneath.

Chi Feifan was stunned. After realizing what was happening, he quickly took two steps back.

"With such a big humanoid inhibitor right here, can the team uniform be any better than me?" Qin Yi crossed his arms and deliberately struck a lazy pose against the wall.

Qin Yi's words were ambiguous, as if Chi Feifan had done something to his clothes.

Chi Feifan gritted his teeth and defended himself: "It's not what you think."

Qin Yi countered, "What?"

"..."

The stairwell fell into a deathly silence.

It cannot be explained; explaining it will only make things worse.

After holding back for a while, Chi Feifan, his neck stiff, said urgently, "I'll return it to you after I've washed it!"

It seems to be getting a bit frizzy.

It looks rather fierce.

Qin Yi weighed the pros and cons in his mind and didn't continue speaking.

But what Qin Yi didn't know was that Chi Feifan's anger and temper weren't directed at him, but at himself.

It's just secondary differentiation; it's not like I couldn't help it.

He must have been out of his mind to come up with such a terrible idea as wearing Qin Yi's team uniform.

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore."

Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Yi casually bent down, picked up the hat that had fallen to the ground, and put it on Chi Feifan's head.

Chi Feifan instinctively turned his head to try to avoid it.

Footsteps came from the corridor outside, getting closer and closer.

Qin Yi manually pulled his hat brim down, almost covering Chi Feifan's eyes: "Don't move, I'm helping you."

Chi Feifan fell silent.

He hadn't paid much attention to his headache before, but now he noticed that Qin Yi had excellent proportions. He was wearing camouflage clothing and military boots, with a belt that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He even had a communicator clipped to his ear.

Chi Feifan stared at Qin Yi for two seconds, his gaze briefly sweeping over the small mole under Qin Yi's lip, before pulling up his mask to cover his face and silently going down the stairs.

No sooner had Chi Feifan left than Chen Yangyang came looking for him.

"I told you not to go too far, and you didn't reply to my messages. Hurry up and finish shooting the last set before you leave."

Qin Yi: "You messaged me?"

Chen Yangyang was completely exasperated: "My goodness, I played seven or eight pieces for you!"

Qin Yi took out his phone and saw that it was true.

Okay, I was completely focused on Chi Feifan just now.

Fortunately, Chen Yangyang is a Beta, so she can't smell the extremely high concentration of Alpha pheromones in the stairwell, and she doesn't know that Chi Feifan has been here.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Qin Yi strode towards the dressing room.

Hawk and his crew finished posing for their last set of promotional photos under the photographer's guidance. Just as they were about to call it a day, studio staff suddenly brought in several large bags of Starbucks, saying they were for Hawk.

Hawk and his crew were exhausted; they had barely managed to take the photos that morning.

Wang Kang's eyes widened at the sight: "Holy crap, who's treating us? So extravagant!" He looked at Chen Yangyang, and without a second's hesitation, he pounced on her. "Mom Chen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you stingy! You're so considerate—"

Chen Yangyang frowned and touched her chin: "I didn't order it."

Wang Kang quickly withdrew his hands, wiping them dramatically on his clothes with his chubby little hands: "Oops, I almost got tainted by this stingy miser."

The staff member said, "This was ordered by Mr. Chi just now."

Mr. Chi?

Several people looked at each other.

Who else among the people they know has the surname Chi?

While sipping his coffee, Wang Kang shed tears as thick as wide noodles: "Waaah, I'm not following the captain anymore! I'm going to cheat on him and follow Brother Chi for the rest of my life!"

Yu Xingchen and Lao Jiang, who were also exhausted in the morning, were now successfully surviving thanks to coffee. They were nodding incessantly like chicks pecking at rice, echoing Wang Kang.

It's not that they're short of money for a Starbucks; who wouldn't love a free lunch?

Chen Yangyang facepalmed: "Can't you guys have some backbone? A few Starbucks drinks and you're all bought off? Are your knees weak? Can't you stand up straight?"

The staff member remembered something else and said to Chen Yangyang with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Chi just reimbursed all the shooting fees from this morning downstairs. The money you paid earlier will be refunded to you."

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Chen Yangyang shed tears just like Wang Kang's: "What a good person! What a wonderful person! From this day forward, he and our Hawk family are a loving and inseparable family. Unlike Qin Yi and the other two heartless guys, who are treated like royalty every day, pampered with the best food and drink, and still complain that I'm stingy..."

Qin Yi, who was scrolling through his phone, scoffed upon hearing this, "Pathetic."

Chen Yangyang stood and knelt with ease: "Huh? I suddenly realized that my knees can bend naturally."

Wang Kang gulped down most of it in one breath, then turned around and found Qin Yi's cup still untouched in its original place.

"Captain, aren't you going to drink? Weren't you the most tired this morning?"

His face looked terrible, and the AKM he was holding made it seem like he was about to shoot his teammates to pieces.

Qin Yi waved his hand and carried his team uniform to the locker room to change.

The moment he saw Chi Feifan in the stairwell, he was no longer sleepy. Chi Feifan's pheromones were truly... more invigorating than caffeine.

Wang Kang secretly eyed the untouched Starbucks cup, and just as he reached out his wicked, fat hand toward it.

Qin Yi returned and took it directly from the bag.

"Get out, I'm just not drinking right now."

Wang Kang muttered in a low voice, sounding aggrieved, "Why are you so possessive of your food..."

*

The first thing Chi Feifan did when he got back was to take off Qin Yi's team uniform, avoid everyone in the base, even the cleaning lady, stuff the clothes into the washing machine downstairs, and then pour in a lot of laundry detergent.

After finishing smoothly, he sat down on the bed with a sigh of relief, as if a great worry had been lifted from his heart.

This is utterly shameful.

However, his interaction with Qin Yi was really effective. He felt very relaxed and refreshed, and even felt like he could climb ten floors in one go.

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Chi Feifan rubbed his neck, stuck in a state of being neither sleepy nor wanting to go to sleep. He simply lay down on the bed and took out his phone to pass the time.

There's an unread message from Cheng Yuan on WeChat; it's been over twenty minutes.

Brother Yuan: My friend's bar just opened today and invited us to come and support it. Let's go together tonight.

Chi Feifan wouldn't even bother with anyone else, but he would definitely give Cheng Yuan face.

Send me your location.

Before going out that evening, Chi Feifan sprayed some barrier spray in front of the mirror and then put a barrier patch on the back of his neck.

Even so, Cheng Yuan's expression changed as soon as he saw him.

Chi Feifan's eyelids drooped lazily due to lack of sleep: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yuan: "You know I'm an Alpha, right?"

Chi Feifan: "?"

Cheng Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression: "You have the scent of Alpha pheromones on you, the level is too high, and you don't seem to welcome me very much."

Chi Feifan: "..."
