The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

After breakfast, Wen Qiu was in high spirits. He made the excuse that he was late and hurried out with his schoolbag. Fortunately, he was on the first stop and easily got a seat. He sorted out his sour mood on the way and arrived at school.

There are always endless hot topics in school. The controversy over Bai Ningshu's suspension of study has long passed, and his classmates have long lost interest in him. During class breaks, they started talking about the romantic gossip between a professor and a student.

Wen Qiu returned to his comfort zone. As the end of the semester was approaching, he also wanted to study hard. Now with Zhao Ma's help, he finally had time to go to the library and concentrate on reviewing.

After the second class, he suddenly received a WeChat message from his counselor, asking him to go to the office.

Wen Qiu went to the office without knowing why. The counselor warmly asked him to sit down, and then asked him about his studies and life. The more Wen Qiu listened, the more puzzled he became. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's like this, Wen. At the beginning of the semester, you applied for the qualification of a poor student. After strict review, the school decided to give you some living assistance." The counselor pushed his glasses. "But recently, some classmates reported you, saying that you spend lavishly and wear famous brands every day. I also want to verify the situation first, so I called you over..."

At this point, Wen Qiu understood. What was there to verify? He was still wearing the coat Pei Du bought for him and holding the latest Apple phone he gave him.

The counselor wanted to say something tactful, but Wen Qiu spoke first: "Are you going to cancel my status as a poor student? No problem, the money can be given to students who need it more."

Ironically, the subsidy was less than 4000 yuan a year, which was not as good as him spending an afternoon with Pei Du.

"Don't be impatient. I'm not saying I want you..."

"I do have some savings now, but I didn't lie when I first applied. The school should have investigated this very clearly." Wen Qiu said calmly, "If the student who reported it comes to ask again, I hope you can tell him the truth."

"Okay, I understand." The counselor held his forehead. "In fact, in addition to the issue of being a poor student, you have also been reported for some problems with your lifestyle. Of course, the school does not want to interfere with students' free love. I am reminding you as a teacher: as an OMEGA, while enjoying certain privileges, you must also pay attention to your own image and focus on your studies..."

When Wen Qiu heard the word "privilege", he couldn't help but sneer. The so-called "lifestyle" problem was probably the "love triangle" between him, Pei Du and Bai Ningshu, which had been circulated countless times. A feeling of nausea arose spontaneously, and he picked up his bag and stood up, "Thank you teacher for reminding me, I will pay attention."

"That's good. Come to me if you have any questions. My door is always open." The counselor still looked concerned.

Wen Qiu turned away with a cold face.

It seemed as if God felt it was a great favor to give him Zhao Ma. After lunch, he encountered another disgusting thing: when passing by the basketball court, he was first hit by a flying basketball, and then the six tall and strong ALPHAs ran over and not only did not apologize, but also surrounded him.

The leader, ALPHA, was sunny and handsome, and seemed to be the most handsome boy in some art academy. However, the expression on his handsome face was full of disgust: "Are you that Wen Qiu?"

Wen Qiu glanced at them and gradually remembered that they were all members of the drama club. Because they had performed a play about a princess and a knight with Bai Ningshu, they were later nicknamed Bai Ningshu's Knights. And these people really brought art into their lives. They usually regarded themselves as the president's knights and followed her every step.

Jiang Mingxin had warned him to be careful before, but he didn't expect to run into such bad luck here. Now thinking about the basketball just now, it was clearly aimed at his head.

"No." Wen Qiu said expressionlessly, "Please make way, I'm in a hurry to go to class."

"Hehe, come on, don't give me that. Do you think others won't be able to recognize you if you're hiding under a mask?" said the Yard Grass Knight indignantly.

"I did something shameful, so I cover my head and face all day long."

"Did you know that Senior Bai's depression relapsed because of you? Wow, I've never seen such a shameless omega who even wants to steal other people's boyfriends!"

"What are you all talking about?" Wen Qiu did not retreat, and asked, "Why didn't I know when Pei Du became Bai Ningshu's boyfriend?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Several boys were stunned for a moment before they asked, "Even if they broke up, does that give you a reason to deliberately provoke her?"

"Speaking of this question, I am also curious," Wen Qiu smiled, "It is said that they were once very loving. Has any of you seniors really seen them together?"

This question stumped people again. The things about Pei Du only existed in Bai Ningshu's mouth. According to her, being Pei Du's girlfriend was very hard, because the rules of the big family were strict, so it couldn't be made public. As a result, even the people who were closest to her had never really come into contact with Pei Du.

The male college students ALPHA were probably the dumbest species in the world. They were stunned for a moment and did not suspect Bai Ningshu, but instead changed their angle and attacked her.

"I heard from the people in the College of Arts that he seems to be a poor student." Another person showed off his intelligence and laughed maliciously, "Honestly, do you think Senior Pei will like you?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this, but when he did, Wen Qiu's anger that he had just suppressed suddenly rose up. He gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry, I'm not a poor student now. And I have nothing to do with your Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Pei. I wish them a long and happy marriage. Can you let me go now?"

"No!" The Knight of the Courtyard Grass stopped him very straightforwardly, "You did something wrong, you should at least apologize to Senior Bai!"

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is indeed very handsome, and his piercing eyes reveal a clear stupidity. Wen Qiu held his forehead and sighed, and suddenly asked: "Sister Bai, do you like photography very much?"

The Campus Knight was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about, but he still answered subconsciously: "Yes, and she likes to take pictures of the campus scenery, and often takes a camera out to take pictures."

"If you have a chance, just open her camera and take a look." Wen Qiu tapped his thick chest and winked at him, "There's a surprise inside."

"What is he talking about?" "Senior Bai's camera seems to have been in the cabinet in the activity room..."

"What are you talking about? How can you touch other people's things?" The Knight of the Courtyard Grass said immediately, "Especially when it is said by this shady person, you just believe it..."

Wen Qiu didn't want to waste time. He still had classes. Seeing that a few people were not willing to give in, he simply took off his hat and mask and said, "There's nothing shameful to see. Look if you want."

Although I have seen Wen Qiu's face in that photo taken at a bad angle, it is another matter to actually see this face blessed by God face to face, up close, in the midday sun in late November.

The knights' eyes were all fixed, and a string of comments flashed through their minds: Pei Du is Pei Du, and there must be a reason why he chose this person! This person is so beautiful, ten Bai Ningshus can't catch up with him, if they were in his place, they would choose this person too!

Wen Qiu looked at them with amusement. Some of them blushed inexplicably, some stammered to explain something, and the yard hunk with thick eyebrows and big eyes was even more stunned, like a goose. A small group that was gathered together because of their looks would naturally rebel because of their looks. The world of ALPHA is really simple and easy to understand.

"What's wrong? As a knight, you've lost both the princess and your horse, so it's too boring, right?" Wen Qiu took a step forward and pushed his shoulder directly, "Get out of the way."

The insults were harsh, but he was not attacked again, and the idiot schoolboy pushed him away. Wen Qiu didn't bother to pay attention to them and went straight to class.

He was too lazy to put on his hat and mask again - no matter how low-key he was, there would always be dark eyes staring at him from behind, and there would always be rumors and idiots pestering him. If that was the case, what was the point in hiding?

Thanks to Pei Du, he now feels that many things don't matter. He has even experienced the feeling of being insulted by someone he truly loves. So, the gazes of these insignificant people are nothing to him.

He walked into the lecture hall, received a moment of silence and intense stares, and then sat down in the first row. During class, the professor was also confused and asked him if he had walked into the wrong classroom. After finding out his identity, the professor in his sixties complimented him, "It's better to take off your hat, you look more energetic!"

Less than 20 minutes into the class, Jiang Mingxin was already madly poking him on WeChat, asking him to open the school forum and look at the "handsome little brother from the College of Arts." Wen Qiu immediately muted the phone and handed it over.

On the other side, the Knight of the Schoolyard—whose full name was Yan Sheng—also returned to the club with his buddies, feeling very worried. As the vice president, he first reminded them to keep it a secret, then took the camera that Bai Ningshu had left in the cabinet and said he would return it to her.

Normally, his behavior of deliberately creating opportunities to meet the goddess would definitely be punished by his buddies, but at this moment everyone was a little absent-minded. I don't know who found the hot post on the forum, and they all started to browse it.

Yan Sheng returned to the dormitory alone with his camera. After making sure that no one was around, he charged the camera and hid behind the bed curtains, unable to wait to open it and take a look.

One, two, dozens, hundreds... The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Pei Du was in all the photos, and all of them were secretly taken! Bai Ningshu even categorized each set of photos, with the title "Date on XX day". Yan Sheng felt a chill down his spine, and when he thought of how Bai Ningshu usually mentioned Pei Du, and the rumors she spread, he felt mixed emotions.

If Senior Bai is really a voyeur, then it means that he has really wronged Wen Qiu. He is an omega, and being besieged by six ALPHAs on his side must be terrified. Yan Sheng felt guilty and hurried to find Wen Qiu's contact information, but found that all the ALPHAs in the department were asking about the freshman in the College of Arts...

Yan Sheng has the advantage of being very persistent. He waited at the basketball court for three days at that time and finally caught sight of Wen Qiu again.

He shamelessly walked up to her and said hello: "Hello, classmate Wen!"

Wen Qiu didn't even look at him and continued walking forward. Yan Sheng scratched his head and followed him all the way, apologizing and saying he would buy him milk tea and take him to the movies, but it seemed that Wen Qiu treated it as the car background music and didn't respond.

The two walked and walked until they came to the artificial lake of the school. There were many young couples walking here, and people around cast curious glances at them. Wen Qiu finally looked up at him, but his expression was very cold, "Have you seen Bai Ningshu's camera?"

Yan Sheng made a "hmm" sound and moved his lips. Then he heard Qiu say, "Don't lie to me. I can tell."

"I saw it." Yan Sheng had no choice but to confess, "I was actually quite surprised that she would take those photos. Actually, when I think about it carefully, she is usually a bit neurotic..."

"Oh, you know the truth, then have you told others?" Wen Qiu narrowed his eyes, "You told everyone that Senior Bai is actually a stalker, Senior Pei is the victim, and damn Wen Qiu is just an unlucky passerby who got involved - did you say that?"

Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"You don't even have the courage to help me clarify, and you still have the nerve to chase me?"

Yan Sheng was horrified: "Who said I was chasing you?! I, I, I..." As he spoke, his face turned red suspiciously.

Wen Qiu snorted, left him behind and continued walking forward. Yan Sheng hadn't yet organized his words in his head, but his long legs followed his heart and he followed like a dog.

Suddenly, Wen Qiu stopped again. Yan Sheng also stopped and looked up, only to see two people walking across the narrow path. One of them was an old professor from the School of Economics, and walking with him was a tall girl named ALPHA. He was wearing a gray knitted jacket and carrying a shoulder bag, which was a bit student-like, but he had his own aura, which was completely different from the young A boys in the school - who the hell was Pei Du?

Yan Sheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Wen Qiu, but saw that Wen Qiu was staring at him, with emotions in his eyes that he could not understand.

Pei Du's gaze swept over almost at the same time, stayed on him for a second, and then looked at Wen Qiu. That gaze seemed to have a weight, and whoever it fell on would be overwhelmed.

Yan Sheng couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a tense atmosphere spreading between the two of them.
