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

After spending money on his fans' posts, Qin Yi happily put down his phone and moved to Chi Feifan's room.

Chi Feifan's things were almost all packed, except for the things in his bag.

Qin Yi casually took out the barrier patches and barrier spray from inside: "Where do I put these?"

Chi Feifan's mind was still preoccupied with the conversation between Qi Song and Chen Yangyang. Without thinking carefully, he casually replied, "Put it in the drawer."

Qin Yi walked over and squatted down.

As the drawer opened, Chi Feifan suddenly remembered that there were some things inside: "Wait, don't open it yet—"

It's too late.

Qin Yi's gaze immediately fell on the yellow kitten in the corner of the drawer, then lingered for a few seconds on the box containing lollipops, before finally shifting his gaze to the old photos inside.

Qin Yi reached out and picked up the photo of himself from when he was a child, looking at it silently for a while.

Chi Feifan stood frozen to one side, never feeling that time had passed so slowly.

He was hesitating whether it would be better to storm out the door or simply snatch the item from Qin Yi's hands.

How did you get this photo?

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow as some distant memories, almost completely forgotten, flooded his mind.

He only remembered visiting Wanlin Temple with his parents when he was very young, but he was just old enough to remember things then. After growing up, he stopped believing in those things and never went to such a place again. Now he can hardly even remember what Wanlin Temple looks like.

Chi Feifan clenched his fingers, his nails digging two small crescent-shaped marks into his palm: "I picked it up on the road."

He himself didn't believe that.

Qin Yi suppressed a laugh.

How could there possibly be such a thing on the road?

He rubbed his fingertips together and discovered another photo pressed tightly against the bottom.

Qin Yi paused for a moment when he saw the person in the photo below, which was unusual for him. Then he put the two photos together and discovered the secret.

"Did you pick this up on the street too?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.

Chi Feifan gritted his teeth, strode over, and snatched the childhood photo from Qin Yi's hand: "Yes, I've been forgetting to throw it away."

After saying that, he looked around the room, trying to find a trash can to throw it away.

Qin Yi grabbed his wrist: "Why are you throwing them away? If it were me, I would frame these two photos."

In the past, Chi Feifan would have just said it casually, but now, looking at the two people next to him in the photo, he suddenly had the urge to actually throw the photo away.

He didn't want to see the people above him; his feelings towards Chi Jianye were simply disgust, and his feelings towards his mother who was holding him were simply a desire to avoid being reminded of past memories.

"Anyway, it's just me on it, what's the point?" Chi Feifan gripped the photo tightly, almost bending the laminated photo.

Qin Yi thought quietly for a while, then gently pulled Chi Feifan's hand that was holding the photo: "That's not right."

Chi Feifan frowned: "What's wrong?"

Qin Yi unfolded the photo and slowly slid his finger across it, including himself as the background.

"There were originally six people here, but now two have been removed, leaving four. Four is greater than two, so we still won."

Chi Feifan bought the photos simply because he felt it was a wonderful coincidence and wanted to keep them as a keepsake; he never thought about it any deeper.

Qin Yi looked into Chi Feifan's eyes: "We will always stand by your side, as we have in the past and as we will in the future."

On Hawk's day off, while everyone else was still sleeping, Qin Yi was already standing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair and tidying himself up.

As I went downstairs, I ran into Qi Song, who had just finished walking his dog in the cold wind. Qi Song thought the sun had risen in the west: "What are you doing out so early on your day off instead of sleeping?"

Qin Yi bent down and patted Tuantuan twice, then said succinctly, "A date."

"..."

Qi Song, a single man in his late thirties, choked up and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Chi Feifan didn't want to attract attention, so he waited for Qin Yi outside the base. When he saw that Qin Yi had even gotten a new hairstyle that morning, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Chi Feifan deliberately chose a cinema with fewer people, but even so, the two of them still stood out in the crowd while waiting.

Chi Feifan even wondered if Qin Yi had been recognized.

It shouldn't be that bad.

In the car, he deliberately tossed the baseball cap he was wearing to Qin Yi, ruthlessly making Qin Yi cover up his eye-catching hair.

Qin Yi bought a large serving of popcorn, while Chi Feifan held two cups of cola.

"Chi Feifan?"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind.

Chi Feifan's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the cola in his hand.

Shanghai is such a big city, with so many cinemas in the city center, and each cinema showing so many movies. It can't be such a coincidence...

Chi Feifan turned around stiffly and saw Cheng Yuan, who had originally asked him to watch a movie that day, holding a movie ticket in his hand, with a little boy of about ten years old standing next to him.

Cheng Yuan stared at him for a moment, still surprised that Chi Feifan had suddenly appeared: "Didn't you say you didn't have time?"

A hand naturally landed on Chi Feifan's shoulder, the five fingers tightening, creating several wrinkles in Chi Feifan's clothes, as if asserting ownership.

Cheng Yuan followed the hand upwards and, upon seeing its owner, seemed to understand something.

"Damn it! So that's why you rejected my invitation so ruthlessly—you've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty face!" Cheng Yuan was so angry he wanted to punch Chi Feifan, but he was also afraid that he would get punched by the people next to Chi Feifan afterward. He gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, "You made me bring my cousin instead. You have no idea how rebellious kids this age can be!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy following behind Cheng Yuan complained, "Cousin, I'm hungry. I want to eat snacks while watching the movie too."

Cheng Yuan wished he could cover his head and ears.

Chi Feifan originally thought the chance encounter was awkward enough, but he didn't expect that even more awkward things were yet to come after entering the theater.

Cheng Yuan and his group were seated directly behind Chi Feifan and Qin Yi.

The two of them didn't have much chemistry when they hung out together, but when it came to choosing seats, that damn bond came back.

Chi Feifan had a blank expression and his mind was buzzing. He didn't know what the movie was about even though it was halfway through. He only knew that the people around him would occasionally burst into laughter.

In contrast, Qin Yi leaned comfortably in his chair, occasionally handing over a piece of popcorn.

Chi Feifan repeatedly bit the straw, finally managing to calm himself down and read a little bit.

It is often said that the core of comedy is tragedy. This film uses humorous and witty artistic techniques to show the male protagonist struggling to make a living in a big city. Just when the male protagonist is swindled out of all his money by his friend and stands on the rooftop in a pair of shorts, preparing to commit suicide, the film also reaches a turning point.

Chi Feifan stared at the screen, forgetting to take the popcorn Qin Yi offered him again.

Open your mouth.

The popcorn was brought directly to his lips, and Qin Yi's deep, pleasant voice rang in his ear.

These two words reminded Chi Feifan of the scene where he secretly kissed Qin Yi at the Qin family home at night. His breath hitched, and his teeth accidentally bumped into Qin Yi's fingers.

"..."

Laughter erupted again around him, and Chi Feifan's ears were burning. In just a few seconds, the scene on the screen changed, and he had no idea what they were laughing at.

"Splash!"

Chi Feifan, with a tense expression, grabbed a handful of food and said in a low, rapid voice, "I have my own hands."

Having stopped Qin Yi from feeding him, Chi Feifan bit his lip, trying to concentrate but unable to.

I can't stand it anymore...

But he wasn't the only one who couldn't stand it.

Cheng Yuan, who was sitting in the back and had just witnessed the couple's affection, clenched his cup tightly, causing the cola inside to spill onto his hand.

My buddy puts his heart in your shoes, and you kick him into the ditch instead.

What's wrong with being single? Does being single mean you're not single?
