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

The atmosphere at the Chi family dinner table was very strange.

The Pei couple brought their only son, Pei Shaoming, to visit.

The two families sat on opposite sides of the long table, with Chi Feifan remaining silent and expressionless throughout.

From the moment she entered, Madam Pei kept looking Chi Feifan up and down. First, she glanced at Chi Feifan's hair, and then she looked at Chi Feifan's unwelcoming expression with some dissatisfaction.

However, considering that Chi Feifan was an S-class Omega and that the Chi family was a good match for them, she held back.

"If I remember correctly, Shaoming is an A-level Alpha, right?" Chi Jianye asked with a fatherly smile.

"Although our Shaoming is Grade A, the test results show that he was just a little short of Grade S. In fact, there's not much difference between him and Grade S." Madam Pei elegantly took a spoonful of soup, her fingers twirling.

Chi Jianye's smile deepened: "No wonder he and Xiao Fan look so well-matched."

Chi Feifan stared intently at the food on his plate, sensing the probing gaze from across the table.

Pei Shaoming looked very much like the Pei couple. He wore glasses and appeared scholarly and honest. However, his pheromones drifted towards Chi Feifan, probing him intermittently.

Chi Feifan gripped the fork in his hand tightly.

He had just read a popular science book about ABO physiology yesterday. Although he was drowsy at the time, some of the information still got into his head.

The book says that if an Alpha or Omega intentionally releases pheromones towards a member of the opposite sex, it is either a sexual innuendo or sexual harassment. Some Alphas may even passively go into heat under the influence of pheromones from the opposite sex.

Pei Shaoming's pheromones smelled of oranges, and they occasionally brushed past Chi Feifan's neck, lingering on the back of his neck where the barrier patch was applied.

"Shaoming graduated from Peking University and is now studying under his father. He's rather shy." Madam Pei talked nonstop about her son, her face full of pride, and her tone unconsciously rose a few notches.

"whispering sound."

Chi Feifan fiddled with the food on the plate and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

The conversation at the other end of the table paused, and everyone turned to look at Chi Feifan.

Madam Pei frowned in displeasure, a forced smile playing on her lips: "What's wrong?"

Chi Feifan raised his eyes, ignoring the warning look on Chi Jianye's face: "He seems honest on the surface, but he likes to do some dirty tricks behind people's backs."

Pei Shaoming's expression stiffened slightly, and the pheromones that had drifted over retreated silently, yet still lingered around him unwillingly.

Madam Pei: "What do you mean by that? Are you implying something about Shaoming?"

Chi Feifan had tolerated them for a long time: "Good to know."

"you!"

"Cough cough cough..." Jiang Wei, who was sitting next to Chi Feifan, suddenly covered his mouth and turned his head away, his cough interrupting Madam Pei's reprimand.

Chi Feifan remained silent for a moment.

Under the table, where no one else could see, Jiang Wei reached out and placed her hand on the back of his hand, which was already poised to flip the plate and storm off. Her palm was soft and delicate, warm to the touch, and she gently stroked the back of his hand twice.

Jiang Wei looked up and gave the others at the table an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately. Could you please ask Young Master Pei to tone down the pheromones you've been emitting? The scent is really overpowering."

Chi Jianye, who was sitting far away, didn't notice at first, but after Jiang Wei mentioned it, he also smelled an orange scent in the air on their side.

Chi Jianye immediately understood why Chi Feifan was angry. He meaningfully offered the Pei family a way out: "Oh dear, Shaoming definitely didn't do it on purpose. Xiaofan has always been quite sensitive, which is why he misunderstood Shaoming."

Madam Pei and Mr. Pei had stiff expressions, and they probably knew what was going on, so they didn't dare to make any further trouble.

Pei Shaoming was glared at by his parents and had no choice but to withdraw his pheromones.

Because of the unpleasantness at the dinner table, the Pei family did not stay long after finishing their meal and took their leave.

"This Chi Feifan is so ill-mannered, and his personality is strange and difficult to get along with. Our Shaoming deserves better." Madam Pei said, carrying her bag and constantly muttering to Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei shook his head: "I think we should spend more time together and see. The Chi family has been cooperating with us for so many years. If we can strengthen our ties through marriage, it will benefit both of us. Besides, once he's in the Pei family, he'll be at your mercy. Why don't you ask what kind of trouble your son caused at the dinner table today?"

Madam Pei glanced at her son, who was quietly looking at his phone behind her, and muttered discontentedly, "Who knows if the Chi family is conspiring to deceive us? Anyway, I..."

"Smack."

A small pebble on the path landed precisely at Madam Pei's feet, causing her to stop in her tracks and let out a short scream in fright.

At the gate of the Chi family's main gate, Chi Feifan leaned against the gate. The wind had just blown his hair into a mess, so he simply let his hair down and put a rubber band on his wrist.

He heard everything the Pei family members said on the way.

Chi Feifan lifted his eyelids: "Let's stop spending time together, and don't come here again. I have no plans to date right now, and it's impossible for me to marry Pei Shaoming."

Madam Pei shrieked, "What do you mean? You're looking down on Shaoming?"

Chi Feifan: "Yes, I just dislike him, so what?"

"He has small eyes, is of low rank, has no manners, and smells bad."

The barrage of words infuriated Pei Shaoming, who had been feigning indignation at his parents' request. He pointed at Chi Feifan and threatened, "Try saying another word!"

Chi Feifan remained unfazed: "If Chi Jianye likes it, then let him marry Pei Shaoming. It would be a perfect match, strengthening family ties."

The Pei couple were stunned by what they were told.

Madam Pei: "Stop right there! How dare you talk like that!"

Pei Shaoming: "Come here if you dare! Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?!"

Mr. Pei, grabbing his son with one hand and his wife with the other, said, "Alright, both of you, shut up! We're in public, stop making a scene!"

Chi Feifan got into the car amidst their shouts and curses, and drove away without looking back.

The first thing Chi Feifan did upon returning to Hawk was to delete and block all of Chi Jianye's contact information.

Hawk is heading to Beijing tomorrow for the World Cup qualifiers. Right now, the team members are packing their peripherals in the training room. Chen Yangyang is running around with a notebook in his hand, filled with things to bring.

None of these guys in the team are easy to deal with. He has to follow them around with a megaphone every day, repeating the same thing over and over, to feel at ease.

"ID card! ID card! Anyone who forgets it will be fined 10,000!"

When Wang Kang returned from the restroom, he saw Chi Feifan coming upstairs.

He was about to greet Chi Feifan when Chi Feifan strode past him quickly and with a fierce expression, as if he hadn't seen him at all.

Wang Kang silently withdrew one hand.

Entering the training room, he couldn't help but move closer to Qin Yi: "Hey Captain, do you know where Brother Chi went today?"

With a lollipop in his mouth, Qin Yi unzipped his peripheral bag and said, "I don't know, why are you asking?"

Wang Kang exaggeratedly shook his entire body: "I just saw Brother Chi go upstairs with a frighteningly ugly face, and the atmosphere around him was so menacing, ugh... it was like he had just come back from killing someone. I don't know what he went out to do."

Qin Yi glanced at him: "You're very free?"

"Aren't you curious?"

Hawk agrees that Wang Kang loves gossip.

He glanced at Chen Yangyang furtively, and seeing that Chen Yangyang wasn't paying attention, he quickly lowered his voice and whispered, "And when he walked past me, oh my god, it was like he'd rolled around in a fruit stand, he smelled like oranges all over..."

"Orange flavor?" Qin Yi slowly changed the direction of the lollipop in his mouth.
