The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

An Yunqi strolled into the kitchen and saw that the little beauty's cookies had all been baked.

The freshly baked icing sugar cookies gave off a rich sweet aroma. He made eight large plates of them, and each cookie was covered with the blue and white Jianghe University logo painted with icing sugar.

"Wow, you did all this?" An Yunqi asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Wen Qiu wiped his hands on his apron. It took him an entire afternoon to make these cookies, especially drawing the shape of the school emblem one by one. His arms are still numb. But looking at the finished product, he was still very satisfied and felt that the hard work of the afternoon was not in vain.

"It looks delicious!" An Yunqi praised, "Can I try one first?"

Wen Qiu glanced at him and knew that he was Pei Du's friend and most likely some kind of rich young master. He had a very likable appearance and a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled, making it hard to refuse him.

"No." Wen Qiu slapped away his claws that were poking at him. "This is for an event. There's a cookie with strawberry filling inside. Whoever draws it will win today's super prize."

This was the task assigned to him by his senior. The so-called "super prize" was that he could choose any person of the opposite sex present to invite him or her on a date, and the other party could not refuse.

An Yunqi looked around and felt that every cookie looked the same, so he looked at Wen Qiu eagerly: "Which one has a filling? Can you tell me secretly? If I draw it, you won't be able to refuse me if I ask you out, right?"

"Uh..." Wen Qiu was almost knocked over by his flattery. Just as he was about to refuse righteously, An Yunqi smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke. I'll help you take it out. You've worked so hard, sit down and rest for a while."

Wen Qiu was indeed very tired, and he didn't really want to show up in public, so it would be great if someone was willing to help. "Then I'll go tell the senior sister, and you can just put the cookies on the table covered with a white tablecloth over there, thank you."

"You're welcome~" An Yunqi loaded all the baking trays into the cart and happily pushed the cookies out.

After Wen Qiu went to talk to the senior student in charge of the event, she took off her apron, put on her hat and mask again, and prepared to go outside to take a look.

For him, cooking is a job and a happy thing. Seeing people smile after tasting what he cooks brings him a great sense of happiness.

It was really lively outside. An Yunqi was standing in the middle of the crowd. His tall stature and superior appearance immediately made him the focus of the crowd. The biscuits he made were neatly arranged on the table. They were bright in color under the sun and very attractive.

"You're awesome, Master An! I never thought you had this trick up your sleeve!"

"Fuck, these cookies are prettier than the ones in the store. Can I take them home as a collection? How can I bear to eat them?"

"Oh my god, where can I find such a good family man? I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I want to fall in love with someone else..."

Wen Qiu's smile froze on his face.

An Yunqi smiled and accepted the praise from everyone. Although he knew how much work it took to make these cookies, people still praised him generously, as if he was really the omnipotent An Shao they talked about.

An Yunqi's eyes swept over him, then suddenly stopped, and gave him a smile without any gloom. Wen Qiu stood under the eaves, staring at him blankly for a second, then turned away silently.

It seemed like something similar had happened in the distant past... What did he do then? Wen Qiu could no longer remember.

Because this kind of thing always happens, over and over again, until he is torn to pieces, and finally understands the cruel reality. Some people are the darlings of fate, their nature is not to create but to plunder, but they always capture cities and ponds and are invincible.

What if his achievements were taken away? He had never intended to exchange such a few cheap cookies for anything, nor did he expect any praise or reward. He came out just to hear someone say it was delicious, so that his tired and shaking hands could get a little pathetic comfort.

Wen Qiu didn't know that his reaction was seen by another person present.

Pei Du held his chin in boredom, watching him standing there motionless, without any unusual reaction - no, simply no reaction. The face that should have been very moving was hidden under the hat and mask, and others could not see into the silent fog at all.

I lost, so unhappy.

I used to think that he didn’t understand the rules of the game in this world, but now that he understands, I’m still disappointed.

An Yunqi's experiment was a great success. He glanced at him very proudly, then made a gesture to him in the air, meaning "I'm willing to accept the defeat."

Pei Du shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it was all up to him.

So An Yunqi got even more excited and announced loudly: "Ahem, everyone listen to me! There is a first prize hidden in the biscuit! Only one of these biscuits has a filling, whoever eats it can——"

He deliberately kept people in suspense and dragged out the tone, which aroused everyone's emotions and made them hold their breath.

An Yunqi's smile widened: "You can sit on Pei Du's lap until the end of the event today!"

“Oh oh oh oh oh——” There was an immediate cheer and booing from the audience.

It was so exciting, so beyond their imagination, the prize that they had never dared to think of turned out to be within their reach. As long as they could choose the only cookie with a filling, they would become the luckiest person of the day!
All eyes turned to Pei Du, who leaned back in his chair and smiled generously, "I've been exercising a bit too much recently, just don't think it's too hard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the OMEGAs almost went crazy, their faces flushed and their hearts beat fast, and the pheromones at the scene became twice as strong.

They stared at the cookies on the table, no one dared to reach out first, for fear of missing the correct answer. But no matter how they looked, every cookie looked exactly the same, as if they were all born from the same cookie mother.

In this extremely tense second, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the crowd and took away an ordinary cookie on the baking tray.

All eyes were on him, and then there was a gentle "click" as the man casually broke the biscuit and the strawberry filling flowed out.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Because the person who took the fortune cookie was not Omega who attended the party, but a kitchen helper. In fact, you can tell from the flour all over his body that he was the real maker of the cookie, so he could pick out that one from the identical cookies.

"Fuck, who are you? Is this for you?!"

"Ahhh, I just wanted to take this one! No, try again!" The OMEGAs, who had just woken up from their dreams, rushed over and grabbed all the other biscuits. Of course, after breaking them open, they found that there was no filling inside. This guy who suddenly appeared was like a jinx falling from the sky, and he had to spoil everyone's fun. Could it be that this dirty guy was also planning to attract the attention of Senior Pei Du? He didn't even look at his own identity, and dared to eat swan meat like a toad, wishful thinking.

Jealous eyes swept over like a machine gun, but the weird jinx broke the biscuit and didn't eat it himself. Instead, he walked to An Yunqi in three or two steps and stuffed the biscuit into his mouth.

An Yunqi was caught off guard and opened his mouth to eat: "Mmmm?!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the ALPHAs who had been dissatisfied since a while ago began to make a fuss, wanting to lift An Yunqi to sit on Pei Du's lap. An Yunqi was surrounded and blocked by the ALPHAs, and he let out a long scream: "Ahhhhh, don't do this! Brothers, save me!"

"No," Pei Du not only watched the dying person without helping, but also had a look of disgust on his face, "How disgusting."

In the end, the farce ended successfully with laughter (and An Yunqi's screams), and none of the well-trained thighs were harmed.

The cookies were scattered all over the floor while playing. Pei Du finally picked one and tasted it. It tasted very good and was made with great care. He really didn't deserve to be treated like this. He glanced at the porch and found that the beautiful child with green eyes was no longer there.

At night, most of the students went home drunk, and the villa, which was once bustling, suddenly became very quiet. Only a few dim lights were on and the summer night insects chirped incessantly.

Wen Qiu worked until late at night before his work in the kitchen came to an end. He felt sore all over his body, his arms were too heavy to lift, and his eyelids were drooping.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wen. It's a relief to have you here today." The senior student stuffed a big red envelope into his hand.

Wen Qiu felt relieved when he received the red envelope, "Thank you, senior."

"Go back and rest early. You have early classes tomorrow." The senior student patted his back.

Wen Qiu packed up his things and walked out while counting the money. He counted the eight bills three times before he felt relieved. There must be a few drunk people who hadn't left yet. The empty living room was filled with snoring.

When passing by the sofa, a hand suddenly grabbed his waist from behind and pulled him into the arms. Wen Qiu was caught off guard and fell backwards, like a beast caught in a trap, and fell firmly into someone's arms.

When frightened, he did not yell, but turned around very swiftly and tried to run. However, that hand was extremely domineering, and it wrapped around his waist from behind, firmly fixing him in place.

Although there was no light, Wen Qiu still recognized him from the strong arm and called out softly, "Pei Du..."

"I won the first prize," Pei Du held his waist tightly and refused to let go. His hot breath sprayed on his back as he spoke, "Are you not going to honor your promise?"

Wen Qiu was tense and didn't dare to move. He had fully felt the "first prize" - he was sitting on ALPHA's lap and could feel her tight and slightly elastic muscles through her pants, while the man was hugging him so tightly from behind, and the heat of his chest was pressed tightly against him, ironing him like an iron, making him smooth and docile.

There was a continuous snoring sound very close by, a drunk boy was talking in his sleep, and there were sounds of drinking and chatting outside the door. All these sounds were far away and yet very close, becoming the accompaniment of the huge roar of the heartbeat.

Wen Qiu stopped struggling. He was actually very resistant in his heart, but because that person was Pei Du, he didn't want to push him away - perhaps it was vanity at work. He, a nobody, got something that so many people desired.

Although Pei Du caught him on a whim, he did have something he wanted to ask: "Why did you stand up during the day? You decided to endure it at the beginning, didn't you?"

"..." Wen Qiu couldn't answer because he had never thought about this question. He didn't consider An Yunqi's status and position for a second, and whether he could afford to offend him. At that moment, his body took the lead in taking action.

Now that he thought about it, it was probably a sense of indignation that prompted him to act impulsively. He said gloomily, "I don't like him making fun of you."

"You helped me," Wen Qiu added quickly, "so I want to help you too."

Although seeing that he was hugging her tightly, Wen Qiu began to suspect that he was making things worse - Pei Du might be enjoying the feeling of having any random OMEGA sit on his lap!
"Oh, I see." Pei Du's laughing voice seemed to come from his shoulder blade. "You are so nice to me."

Wen Qiu couldn't stand this a bit, and while he was twisting and struggling, he felt his butt rubbed against a place that it shouldn't have rubbed, and the subtle touch made his face feel a little hot.

Pei Du's hand was groping on his back, gently brushing it like playing the piano, and finally he noticed that there seemed to be something in the back of his collar, so he turned it over without hesitation and took a look.

The college uniform was sturdy and durable. As soon as Wen Qiu got it, he wrote his name on the label for fear of losing it.

Pei Du laughed again, thinking that this person was indeed cute, even writing his name on his clothes like a primary school student.

"Wen Qiu." He read out the two neat words. It was a simple name that reminded people of the high autumn sky. They were so close that they could still vaguely smell the sweet-scented osmanthus with a faint milky aroma.

An Yunqi said that the boy in the amusement park was the "young master of the Wen family". It was indeed him, and he was undoubtedly right, but he didn't know why he had fallen to this point. Wen Qiu was able to swallow his anger at first, but in the end he stood up for himself. It seems that all these years of hard work and suffering have not worn away all his edges.

Wen Qiu closed his eyes and hummed softly. He was trying his best to calm his breathing and heartbeat.

Then he suddenly thought of something, took out the red envelope of salary he had just received, and wanted to put it into Pei Du's hand, "This is 800 yuan, and I will find a chance to pay you back the remaining 4400 yuan later."

"I don't need you to pay me back." Pei Du refused to accept it. "Besides, if you keep paying me back one by one, how long will it take for me to pay you back?"

But this was the salary he had worked so hard to earn after a day of hard work. God knows his heart was bleeding when he handed it over... Of course, for Master Pei, this was an insignificant amount of money. Wen Qiu clenched the red envelope in his hand and stammered, "I will find a way to pay you back in one lump sum. If one month doesn't work, I'll pay you back in a year. If one year doesn't work, I'll pay you back in four years. Don't worry. Anyway, the College of Literature is very close to the College of Economics, and I can't run away..."

"Okay then." Pei Du released the hand that was restraining him, took out his mobile phone, and opened the QR code business card.

Wen Qiu jumped up immediately and quickly distanced himself from him, "What are you doing?"

"Add a contact number." Pei Du waved the phone in front of him, "What if you run away?"
