Pei Yan's words were perfectly normal, but Qiao Ran sensed a hint of ambiguity in them. He hurriedly explained, "No...no, I just felt like they were so welcoming, so I had to show some appreciation, otherwise it wouldn't be nice."

Pei Yan ended the topic at the right time. He would find a reason to give the red envelope money to Qiao Ran later.

"I'm going to go feed the cats. Do you want to go back to the base first, or come with me?"

Between returning to the base and continuing to follow Pei Yan, Qiao Ran chose the latter.

It’s not because I want to stay with Pei Yan for a while longer, I’m just curious about the two little cats Pei Yan mentioned.

Pei Yan came to the place where the kitten usually appeared, squatted down, opened a can and put it on the lawn on the side.

Sure enough, after a while, the little Sanhua, who smelled the fragrance, poked its head out from the bushes and walked towards Pei Yan with its short legs.

Qiao Ran also squatted down and looked at the cute little guy with sparkling eyes.

The little guy also obviously noticed Qiao Ran's presence. He immediately stopped, looked at the can in Pei Yan's hand, turned around and ran back to the bushes, sticking his head out warily.

"Did I scare it?" Qiao Ran didn't expect the little guy to be afraid of her. She stood up, pulled the suitcase, and took two steps back awkwardly. "Why don't you feed it? I'll wait for you over there."

"It got a minor injury a couple of days ago, so it's quite wary. It's been shy about you for a while now."

At this moment, Pei Yan inexplicably felt that Qiao Ran was exactly like this cat.

"You don't have to stand so far away. It will come out after it makes sure you are safe. If you get in touch with it a few more times, it might stick to you." As he said that, Pei Yan turned his head and glanced at Qiao Ran.

Sure enough, just as Pei Yan said, after a while the kitten came out again tentatively.

This time, the kitten ignored Qiao Ran's presence and started eating.

"Can I touch it?" Qiao Ran looked at the soft ball and felt a little moved, but was afraid of scaring the cat away.

"Just remember to wash your hands when you get home, otherwise Zhao Jie might kill you."

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand cautiously, afraid of scaring the kitten.

I don’t know if it’s because the canned food smells too good, but the kitten didn’t react at all to Qiao Ran’s touch and continued to eat the canned food.

"Does this cat have a name?"

Pei Yan, who was still comparing the similarities between the cat and Qiao Ran in his head, blurted out without thinking: "Ran Ran."

"What?" Qiao Ran looked up, thinking he had misheard.

Pei Yan also realized what he had said carelessly and quickly tried to save face: "Dye, dye it, don't you feel like it has fallen into a dye vat?"

The kitten, who was originally concentrating on eating the canned food, seemed to understand what people were saying. It stopped, raised its head, and barked at Pei Yan twice in dissatisfaction.

Sanhua: Meow meow meow? (Why didn’t I know I had this name before?)

Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought I had the same name as a cat."

In fact, what scared Qiao Ran was not the fact that she had the same name as a cat, but Pei Yan's "Ran Ran", which almost made her lose half her bones.

Why didn't she realize Pei Yan's voice was so nice when she watched live broadcasts and interviews before?

"Didn't you say there was a big orange dog?" Qiao Ran put his hand on his slightly hot face and quickly changed the subject.

Pei Yan looked around and said, "Maybe he's not here today. I'll put some cat food here later. He'll show up when he's hungry."

——

On the way back to the base, neither Pei Yan nor Qiao Ran spoke again.

Arriving at the base, Qiao Ran carried his luggage and went straight to the room on the second floor.

The people on the sofa didn't know what was going on and looked at each other.

"What's wrong with Qiao Ran? Did we scare her by using emoticons in the group chat?" Zhao Jie quickly took the phone and swiped upwards to see if there was any unusual conversation in the chat history.

Ye Xiaofan was admiring Qiao Ran's strength. "Just now, the goddess carried her suitcase up to the second floor in one breath?"

"Captain, why didn't you help that little girl and let her carry such a heavy thing?" Sun Kai looked at Pei Yan who came out after washing his hands.

"Why is her suitcase so heavy? There's not much stuff in it." Pei Yan sat down and took out his phone to log into Weibo.

I just heard Qiao Ran say in the car that there was a topic on Weibo about speculation about the team's support. He was driving and it was inconvenient for him to read it, so it was a good time to check it out now.

[Esports is a circle: The possibility of 818 new female anchors becoming professional players]

[King's Loudspeaker: After the NSD team lost this competition, will they really give up and directly hire female players?]

[Professional Journalists Alliance: Should women have a place in the professional arena?]

......

At this moment, some popular marketing accounts in the e-sports circle have also started to take action. Some of them use sharp words, while others have a neutral attitude. In the final analysis, their words and deeds all express a pessimistic meaning.

Qiao Ran is a new anchor. He has fans, but the number of fans is limited.

Keyboard warriors and anti-fans simply don't buy into the unified rhetoric of "no official announcement, no appointment", "Qiao Ran is injured and still recuperating", "it's all fake news", and so on.

Strong men lose consecutively: What are women playing games for? Aren’t there enough female idiots in the canyon? And they’re playing professionally, what the hell!

The guy opposite couldn’t sleep: If this is true, NSD is completely ruined!

Gongsun Qianbian: Am I the only one who hopes this will be true? And then watch these trolls get slapped in the face!

Li Bai's original wife: I have watched the live broadcast of the anchor named Qiao Ran. She plays a lot of games, but this kind of live broadcast entertainment is okay. But playing it professionally is too trivial.

......

Pei Yan logged out of Weibo and walked over to Jiang Wenzhou: "Call the coach and come with me."

The author has something to say:

Pei Yan: I accidentally said what I was thinking...
