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

The short meeting ended with the housekeeper serving each of them a bowl of noodles.

For a moment, the only sound in the restaurant was the slurping of noodles.

Esports players eat very quickly, but Li Zhi was the last one to finish eating.

Xie Jichuan was called away by Liang Shoucheng and Song Bo. After Li Zhi helped the aunt collect the dirty dishes, she prepared to go upstairs to take a shower.

As soon as I turned around, I bumped into a wall of people.

Cheng Yi was all muscle and tall; he looked like a giant double-door refrigerator just by standing there.

Li Zhi looked up at the large refrigerator: "...Is something wrong?"

Cheng Yi had a stern expression, serious eyes, and furrowed brows, making him look somewhat fierce.

They looked like they had ill intentions.

The words "bullying within the team" flashed through Li Zhi's mind, and she secretly clenched her fists.

Just as he was about to launch a defensive attack with a punch, Cheng Yi finally spoke.

A hint of awkwardness flashed across his face, and his tall frame shifted slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

"I heard you fed my screwdriver and wrench today. They scratch at the door and bark when they're hungry. Sorry for waking you up."

Kurichi: "...Screwdriver and wrench?"

Cheng Yi scratched his head, a hint of pink rising to his wheat-colored skin:

"I named my cat and dog after the two I found in front of a hardware store, using whatever was conveniently located nearby."

Li Zhi suddenly realized, "Oh, oh!"

After thinking for two seconds, he praised, "Not bad, it sounds like a very well-known name in both the cat and dog worlds."

Cheng Yi rarely found someone who resonated with him, so he handed the milk in his hand to Li Zhi:

"You're too thin, you need to eat more. Is your name really that catchy?"

Li Zhi took it, unceremoniously opened it, and took a sniff: "Of course, screwdrivers and wrenches make a really loud clanging sound when you tap them."

Cheng Yi: "..."

Li Zhi chuckled to herself, "Just kidding, do you keep all those animals?"

Cheng Yi took a cabbage from the refrigerator, nodded, and extended an invitation:

"I'm going to feed Dazhuang and Xiaofenhong, do you want to come along?"

Li Zhi was amazed by his talent for naming things, "Da Zhuang and Xiao Fen Hong?"

As Cheng Yi walked upstairs, he replied succinctly, "Pigs and ducks."

Li Zhi followed curiously.

When I opened the door, Screwdriver was leisurely lounging on the cat tree, licking its fur, while Wrench greeted me warmly.

Wrench is a round, chubby Shiba Inu.

At this moment, it was blinking its pair of black, beady eyes as it looked at them.

Cheng Yi's serious expression finally softened into a smile. He bent down, patted the dog's head, and casually tossed a cabbage leaf from his hand into the dog's mouth.

He instinctively opened his mouth to catch the wrench, chewed it a couple of times, and then realized it was an unpalatable vegetable. He wrinkled his mouth and left.

Cheng Yi smiled again, a hint of tenderness appearing on his face.

Li Zhi looked somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought Cheng Yi was the kind of burly, cold, and rough man, but it turned out he was a tender-hearted male mother who loved small animals.

The gentle male mother scratched the cat's chin again, then opened the transparent compartment of the miniature pig and went over to start feeding it.

Li Zhi never imagined that a pig's breakfast could be so nutritious.

A small spoonful of grain, paired with dried pumpkin, freeze-dried egg yolk, and a few pieces of cabbage.

The piglets are very small, pinkish-white, and have an adorable appearance. When they hear the sound of feeding, they come over and munch to eat.

Li Zhi was charmed and squatted down to pat the pig's head. "Da Zhuang, eat more."

But Cheng Yi corrected him, "Its name is Little Pink, and Dazhuang is my duck."

Li Zhi: "..."

Why do you call a pig "Little Pink" instead of "Big Strong"?

He looked at the pig, who was engrossed in eating, with a complicated expression. "Sorry, little pinky, I called you by the wrong name."

Cheng Yi started feeding Da Zhuang over there.

The Call Duck is round and plump with clean white feathers. Li Zhi couldn't bring herself to call it Da Zhuang when faced with such an adorable creature.

Cheng Yi stood up. "Let's go, get ready for the training match."

Li Zhi glanced at the next cubicle. "Aren't you going to feed those two birds and the hamster?"

Cheng Yi pushed open the door and went out. "They have food in their cages; enough for today."

Li Zhi took one last look at the little pig, reluctantly leaving, then suddenly asked in surprise:

"Cheng Yi, is this a miniature pig? It shouldn't grow into one of those large, multi-hundred-pound pigs, right?"

He expected to get a positive answer quickly, but Cheng Yi fell into an odd silence.

Kuriyuki had a bad feeling.

Cheng Yi spoke with some difficulty: "I don't know either. The merchant who sold it to me was selling two kinds of pigs together. This one was running around everywhere, and the merchant couldn't tell which kind it was."

Kurichi: "...Then why buy it?"

He couldn't imagine that the base would house a giant, thunderous pig that would grow to several hundred pounds and produce over ten pounds of stinky excrement.

Cheng Yi glanced at Li Zhi, then became awkward again:

"Because it's the pinkest of all the pigs, and I like pink."

Li Zhi was dumbfounded.

I thought the gentle male mother was already impressive enough, but I didn't expect him to be a rough and tough guy.

He expressed his understanding and respect, saying, "Okay...okay, but what if these little pinks grow up?"

Cheng Yi said somewhat sadly, "Then I can only take it back to my hometown and let my mother raise it."

Upon learning that she wouldn't have to share a room with the big pig, Li Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He finished his milk and the two of them arrived at Cheng Yi's room. "Thank you for the milk. See you in the training room."

He was about to leave when Cheng Yi called out to him hesitantly, "Lychee..."

Li Zhi turned around and looked at him, puzzled. Cheng Yi scratched his head, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke:

"I've seen you before. There's a picture of you in the captain's wallet."

Li Zhi's heart raced, and she let out a blank "Ah!"

Cheng Yi continued, "At the time, a foreign brand released a new women's wallet, but I bought it because it was pink."

"Then I ran into the captain at the store, and he also bought this wallet."

Li Zhigeng was stunned. "A lady's wallet?"

Cheng Yi nodded, "Yes, the captain had just finished buying it and then transferred the contents of his old wallet into it. I saw your photo inside."

Li Zhi couldn't understand why Xie Jichuan would buy a women's wallet. "Could you show me what that wallet looks like?"

Cheng Yi readily agreed.

He and Xie Jichuan were in the same club when they were abroad. Xie Jichuan helped him a lot, and he wanted to help Xie Jichuan in return.

He opened the door and went inside. Li Zhi stood politely at the door, but was still blinded by the fleeting pink panorama.

The walls, curtains, and furniture in the room were all pink, and even the floor was covered with pink lichen.

Different shades of pink come together, like a princess's room, but it's inhabited by a cool, rugged guy.

Li Zhi: "..."
