By the time Ji Jin heard footsteps, it was already too late. Lu Yao stood behind him, his gaze intense and deep, with a hint of anticipation. He was holding a transparent plastic bag containing five or six boxes of condoms and some ingredients for cooking over the past couple of days.

Ji Jin felt a chill wherever Lu Yao’s gaze swept across. He immediately grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it on casually. Unexpectedly, it was a short-sleeved white summer shirt, which made little difference whether worn or not. This only made Lu Yao’s look even more passionate.

Lu Yao threw the plastic bag to the ground, rushed forward, and pinned Ji Jin against the wardrobe, kissing him fiercely. Ji Jin felt himself pressed against the hard door panel; the thin shirt offered no protection. The two of them pressed closely together, and no reaction could be hidden.

“Brother, are you seducing me?” Lu Yao’s voice was hoarse.

“What nonsense…!” Ji Jin’s cheeks flushed slightly from Lu Yao’s reaction.

“You’re seducing me so I won’t train and MOE can take advantage,” Lu Yao said softly, deliberately close to Ji Jin’s ear. “Actually, it’s easier than that. Before the match, when you crawl onto my bed, I definitely won’t want to let you go.”

Ji Jin knew Lu Yao was just teasing, but his heart still skipped a beat, as if it could really happen.

Lu Yao casually touched Ji Jin’s inner thigh and forcibly lifted him up, carrying him towards the big bed in the bedroom…

Ji Jin was so exhausted he could barely lift a finger lying on the bed. Only then did Lu Yao put on some simple clothes and go cook.

Taking advantage of Lu Yao being busy cooking, Ji Jin grabbed his phone and contacted Zhao Ze, firstly to explain the situation and ask for leave, and secondly to inquire about the match results and the reactions of Ji Xingxing and Ji Huan.

The team was very understanding. The others were all quietly reviewing and training under Cheng Pian’s leadership. The ones reacting the most were Ji Xingxing and Ji Huan.

Ji Xingxing hadn’t seen Ji Jin since last night. After crying and fussing for a long time, he finally fell asleep reluctantly. He didn’t see Ji Jin today either and was listless in everything he did, even suddenly crying while playing with a toy car, saying he missed his dad. Ji Jin’s heart ached badly hearing this.

As for Ji Huan, after hearing Zhao Ze’s report, Ji Jin didn’t dare send his brother a message at all. Instead, he pretended to know nothing and made no contact.

One thing Ji Jin always felt uneasy about was that on the day of the match, he didn’t feel the symptoms of his heat, and recently he had Lu Yao’s temporary mark, so his condition should have been stable. If it was really suppressed too long that even inhibitors didn’t work, his heat couldn’t have lasted just three days.

There had to be… a problem.

Ji Jin thought back to the match day’s situation but couldn’t find any suspicious points. If it was related to Omega inhibitors, he should have taken the drugs. But that day he ate with the whole team, and Omega-related drugs had strong side effects on Alphas, so it was impossible only he was affected.

Last time, when he was forced to reveal his Omega identity, the person who leaked the photos even had the leisure to pixelate Cheng Pian’s face. If this time was the same culprit, then that person might be connected with the MOE team…

Ji Jin pondered this and decided to keep it to himself for now.

The heat lasted three days in total. During those days, Ji Jin felt like a beast in heat. Though his body was exhausted, he couldn’t refuse Lu Yao’s advances and had to go along with the mischief.

On the morning of the third day, Ji Jin felt refreshed overall. His body was still a little sore, but his spirit was excellent. When Lu Yao woke up, he looked a little disappointed, his gaze at Ji Jin mournful and sorrowful.

After the heat passed, Ji Jin ruthlessly rejected Lu Yao’s invitation to live together and immediately returned to the MOE team’s apartment. There was another match the next day; he had to join training immediately. Even time to see Ji Xingxing was squeezed.

Seeing his brother so busy, Ji Huan didn’t complain anymore, but he still gave reminders and support as needed.

In these days, Ji Xingxing often stayed with Ji Huan and became very familiar with his uncle. Ji Huan looked a lot like Ji Jin, and his scent was similar, so recently Ji Xingxing’s favorite person was his uncle.

When Ji Jin returned, Ji Xingxing clung to Ji Huan and refused to get off him.

Ji Xingxing hadn’t seen his dad for three days. When he finally saw Ji Jin again, he looked at him dumbly, didn’t dare speak, and after tilting his head and looking for a while, he finally got down from Ji Huan and walked to Ji Jin.

Then he fussed for a long time because Ji Jin smelled different.

After finally recognizing him, Ji Xingxing cried and whimpered in Ji Jin’s arms for a long time, demanding to be held to sleep. Ji Jin looked at his crying son, heart aching badly, and had no choice but to agree.

But in his heart, Ji Jin thought: like father, like son. Ji Xingxing definitely inherited tenfold from Lu Yao.

After soothing Ji Xingxing all night, the next day was the official match. This time they faced the LPF team, who had been unstoppable during the spring season until narrowly losing to IKW, finishing second. They were a tough team.

LPF also had a star player Ji Jin knew well: Naisi, who often came to visit Ji Jin.

Though Naisi seemed unreliable and talkative, his skill was formidable—he was a player you couldn’t underestimate.

MOE’s match against LPF was the first game, starting in the afternoon. Because it was the weekend, the audience was quite large even in the afternoon.

Ji Jin trained with the other players for only half a day, but luckily, the team now had a backbone. The momentum was there despite some lack of coordination.

In the first round, LPF’s lineup was strong and specifically targeted Ji Jin with sniper attacks, but after a tense battle, MOE claimed victory.

In the second round, relying on his knowledge of Naisi, Ji Jin took out the Shadow Strike and completely crushed Naisi’s marksman. That round Ji Jin got eight kills in total, seven of which were Naisi’s.

Naisi died seven times in total.

In the third game, LPF was wary of Ji Jin, and both sides pushed each other hard for a long time. MOE made some slight mistakes and ultimately lost.

Although MOE lost against the LPF team, the team’s morale remained very high. After the loss, no one closed their computers with a miserable face; instead, everyone cheerfully encouraged each other.

After all, MOE almost couldn’t even make the playoffs before, and now they were playing almost evenly with the runner-up team. Only the players and coaches understood the gap that had been overcome.

However, after the match, the post-game interviews inevitably involved some taunts.

“God Ji, what are your thoughts on today’s loss? Do you regret joining the MOE team?” A reporter stood up and asked with ill intent.

“Losing a match… just means working harder next time,” Ji Jin raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing the malice in the question. “As for joining MOE… why would I regret it?”

His answer seemed to both respond and not respond to the question. The reporters could not press further and sat down, waiting for others to ask questions.

“God Ji, MOE has already lost two matches. If you lose again, you might not even make the playoffs. You said you wanted to win the championship — do you feel overwhelmed?” another reporter asked.

“There are only two outcomes in a match — win or lose. Even IKW can lose. The future is uncertain; how do you know we’ll keep losing?” Ji Jin replied with a smile.

“Coach Liusha, could the losses be related to gender factors? After all, other teams are all Alphas and Betas…”

Coach Liusha usually only answered questions about tactics, so being asked such a strange question for the first time, he was unprepared and didn’t know how to respond. Helplessly, he looked to Ji Jin for help.

Ji Jin had seen scenes like this many times and took over the question without hesitation.

“You want to say that because I am an Omega, it affected the team’s performance?” Ji Jin’s tone was still polite and appropriate, but his gaze was somewhat cold as he looked at the reporter. “But I want to remind you that what you said is discriminatory against Omegas. According to the Omega Protection Law, I have the right to bring this to the Omega Protection Association for arbitration and even sue you for discrimination.”

Several reporters were left speechless by Ji Jin’s response and finally crowded around the LPF team to ask Naisi questions.

Ji Jin listened from behind and thought to himself that he was just too popular. After all, all the questions posed to Naisi were about what it felt like to be killed seven times in a row by God Ji.

Naisi had been in a bad mood after being defeated in today’s match, and the reporters’ questions made it worse. When Ji Jin left and made a face at him, Naisi glared angrily.

Unfortunately, Naisi naturally had a baby face, so no matter how fierce he looked, he seemed more cute than intimidating.

That expression was even captured by the media and turned into animated gifs by fans, circulating online. Paired with Ji Jin’s face, the images formed a couple’s emoji pack, and fans shipping the couple said the “cute and fierce” couple was real. That night, it even trended on social media.

Alongside the emoji pack trending, another event surpassed it to take first place on the trending list:

#Brick Watched God Ji’s Match On-site#

This news was posted by a Legend Reappearance game blogger. The blogger didn’t have many followers, about twenty or thirty thousand. He first posted a blurry photo, which was then wildly reposted by fans and players. Once both Ji Jin’s and Lu Yao’s fans found out, they started fiercely arguing in the comment section.

The photo was simple —

Lu Yao sat in the first row of the stadium, his eyes focused intently on the main match screen. The screen showed one side with the game interface, the other with a live broadcast inside the player’s room, and team voice communication.

At that moment, the screen switched to Ji Jin. Ji Jin’s handsome and focused face took up most of the huge screen, while Lu Yao sat in his seat, staring at the screen with fascination.

The blogger’s original comment was: “Ahhh I can’t believe it! Could Brick actually be a fan of God Ji? There’s a match today, yet he came early to watch God Ji play. What a beautiful senior-junior relationship!”

That comment was fine, but the top comment insulting it was not:

“What senior-junior relationship! An Alpha and an Omega — that’s love, sisters!!!”
