The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

Wen Qiu was thinking about something, and didn't react to this strange question for a while. But he noticed Pei Du's expression, which was not the casual chat he had just had, but a kind of panic-inducing scrutiny.

Wen Qiu decided to play dumb for now: "What do you mean by male No. 3? Such a short story is not suitable for arranging more roles."

"Do you still remember what you promised me the day I brought you back from Zhang Mingqi?" Pei Du asked again.

His question was very out of context, but Wen Qiu immediately understood what he meant. He would never forget the day he was secretly photographed, nor would he forget what Pei Du said: "Since you're going to sell it, why don't you sell it to me?"

So he decided to sell himself in exchange for a safety rope. At that time, Pei Du's only request to him was "Don't lie."

Not bringing it up proactively is one thing, and it probably doesn't count as a mistake, but if Pei Du asked and you still said you didn't know, then that would be considered a lie, right?

He habitually looked away in his intense thinking, but Pei Du held his chin, not allowing him to escape, "Don't you have anything you want to tell me about the other ALPHA you're dating besides Yan Sheng?"

Wen Qiu spoke with difficulty: "Yes...but that's not dating."

Pei Du didn't seem surprised at all. "Tell me about it."

"Brother He Yu came to see me... just a few days ago. He said he had been looking for me for a long time."

"Well, what does he come to see you for?" Pei Du was playing with the lighter in his hand and felt like smoking.

He knew that He Yu's opportunity was a little ridiculous - He Yu had been very popular in the upper class circles of Jianghe City recently. He had the support of a wealthy noble family, was generous, and was good at dealing with people. He was a hot new upstart. He did not hesitate to publicize that he had a brother who had been lost for many years, so much so that one day An Yunqi jokingly mentioned to him: "I didn't expect that your little pet had a hidden rich brother."

This is completely a malicious irony, because He Yu and Wen Qiu have different surnames and look nothing alike, so the meaning of "brother" is naturally extremely ambiguous.

Unlike Yan Sheng, who posed no threat, He Yu was another star with a huge gravitational pull, and he got in the way and approached, trying to take away the star that belonged to him.

There is no word "sharing" in ALPHA's dictionary. Pei Du doesn't even believe in something as illusory as "love". A relationship only makes him feel troubled. What he wants is to eliminate dissidents, absolute possession, and a choice made without thinking, which is the only solution to all problems.

So he absolutely could not tolerate the appearance of He Yu. If Wen Qiu was not resolute enough, he would eliminate the obstacles in his own way.

Wen Qiu didn't know what he was thinking, but he wishfully covered up the whole thing in a way that couldn't be called a lie, "Brother He Yu... He said he was coming to Jianghe City to do business, and he talked to me about some things in the past. He also said he could help me with my life - he gave me a card, but I didn't use it because I had enough money on me..."

Looking at Wen Qiu's troubled and worried face, Pei Du reached out and gently stroked his eyes. Through a thin eyelid, he felt that beautiful eyeball trembling slightly. "That's good," he said, "then do you want him to help you?"

This was another difficult question to answer. Wen Qiu asked tentatively, "If I accept his help..."

"Then you don't need my help anymore." Pei Du said with a smile, patting his cheek gently, "First it was Yan Sheng, then He Yu, you are quite amazing."

That's totally different, Wen Qiu thought, He Yu is his brother, the last relative in the world who treats him well. Pei Du can't be so excessive, not giving him any promises, and at the same time asking him to give up all his retreats.

Because he had some resentment in his heart, he answered rather stubbornly: "He Yu has been adopted by my father. He is now my nominal brother and the one who truly cares about me. Family ties are not so easy to give up. You have to give me some time to think about it."

"So when do you want to deal with this?"

"…At least until the end of this month."

"Okay. If you can't solve it yourself, let me do it." Pei Du never seemed to think that he would be abandoned. His tone sounded like he was tolerating a willful lover. He thought for a moment and added, "Also, tell me what you want. If you encounter problems, come to me, not him."

"I know." Wen Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What on earth was this all about?

"Remember what you said." Pei Du reached out and held him on his lap, as if he was tired of discussing these things, resting his head in his arms and breathing slowly. This was his favorite way to recharge when he was upset.

Wen Qiu lowered his head, his eyes fell on his black and soft hair, feeling an indescribable confusion in his heart. When he and Pei Du talked about love, it seemed that they were not talking about the same thing.

The closer I get to this man, the more I feel like I'm entering unknown waters. The beautiful halos I watched from a distance disappear. Only by swimming deep can I get close to the core, but I don't know whether what awaits me is a hidden pearl or a disaster.

During class on Saturday, Wen Qiu submitted his script. Jin Ling was very surprised after reading it, as if she didn't expect him to be able to write such dopamine-rich words.

At first, she only thought that Wen Qiu's writing was spiritual and that he was a useful talent, but at the same time, she also felt that his personal style was too obvious and his writing style was too narrow. Now it seems that this young man has great potential. After a few more days of training, he might be able to join the team and be used as a slave.

After three weeks of high-pressure training, this week's homework was relatively easy, which was a classic narrative structure analysis. Wen Qiu had already read all the relevant books and courses, and was able to do it easily.

The next day, He Yu asked him out again, saying that he wanted to show him a surprise. Thinking of Pei Du's deliberate attitude of keeping him hanging, Wen Qiu decisively agreed, and was also very curious about what the surprise He Yu was talking about was.

He Yu drove to pick him up early, bringing building blocks for Xiao Zhiliao, health supplements for Zhao Ma, and a bouquet of flowers as usual, which he put in a vase made of a wine bottle at home. Wen Qiu got in his car and drove all the way to the garden area in the west of the city.

This area is not far from the city center, but it has beautiful scenery and is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. There are several colleges and universities located here. It is a famous wealthy area in Jianghe City. He Yu stopped the car in front of one of the villas and opened the door for him: "Welcome home."

Wen Qiu felt familiar as soon as he saw the elegant and luxurious European-style building. He walked in with surprise and found that even the small pond and swing in the yard were exactly the same as his previous house.

The house was still under renovation, the hard decoration was almost finished, but the furniture had not yet been moved in, so it looked spacious. He Yu took him directly to the second floor, and Wen Qiu walked to a door spontaneously without his guidance - the layout of each room was no different from the past.

"Is this my room?" Wen Qiu held his breath.

"Well, this is your room." He Yu reached out from behind him and pushed open the door. What came into view was a sunny bedroom with brown oak floors, a warm-colored small sofa, bookshelves full of books, and dark blue velvet curtains - it was as if the past years were sealed in amber, and everything was intact.

In the whole villa, only this one room was fully decorated. Wen Qiu walked into the room in a daze, looking at every piece of furniture and small decoration. He Yu still remembered many details that he had forgotten. God knows how much he cared for himself.

"When I bought this villa last year, I started decorating this room. I personally supervised the decoration of every detail." He Yu picked up a small ceramic ornament and said, "Look, this was originally a unique piece. I invited a master to restore it. I made several versions before I got the ideal look."

"Last year?" Wen Qiu asked, "Last year, you hadn't found me yet..."

"I will find it eventually. I never doubted it." He Yu said with a smile, "So I prepared early. As long as you come, it will be like returning home. How about it? Do you like it?"

How could I not like it? The memories that had been buried for a long time were all itching to revive: coming home from school, throwing my schoolbag on the floor, lying on the bed with my legs crossed to read comics, sitting on the floor with He Yu and playing games...

During the two years of imprisonment, he had gone crazy wanting to return to that past. Although he no longer had the luxury of wishing for it now, being able to get it again felt like a missing piece of his heart had been compensated a little.

"Yeah, I like it. I really like it..." Wen Qiu rubbed his sore eyes, and suddenly stepped forward and gave He Yu a hug, "Thank you, brother."

He Yu was stunned for a moment, opened his hands helplessly, smiled again, closed his arms and patted his back, "I'm glad you like it. You don't know how much I also... miss that time in the past."

After looking at Wen Qiu's room, He Yu took him to the basement floor mysteriously. The entrance was very strange, it was the gate of a castle. After opening the mechanism and walking in, there turned out to be a huge children's playground!

This place is obviously still under renovation, but you can already see the inflatable castle connected to the slide, the huge model train track, the picture book reading area, the audio-visual room and the swimming pool... The entire underground floor has been decorated into a small amusement park.

"These are all prepared for Xiao Zhiliao." He Yu said, "When the child grows up, the toys here can be gradually replaced."

This is definitely a place that every child dreams of. Wen Qiuguang imagined the little cicada playing in it, and his heart was filled with happiness. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He Yu observed his expression and smiled confidently: "How about it? When everything is renovated, do you want to move in?"

Wen Qiu's expression suddenly froze for a second, and then he asked as if nothing had happened: "When will the decoration be completed?"

"If it's quick, it can be finished this month." He Yu pushed up his glasses. "What's wrong? Is there anything else you don't like?"

Wen Qiu shook his head. There was still almost a month left, he thought, enough time for him to make up his mind. He answered seriously: "I will give you an answer by the end of the month."

Give it to him, to Pei Du, and also to myself.

This is actually something that needs to be considered. He Yu narrowed his eyes. If it was the young master before, he would not be able to endure living in that shabby house for more than three days, nor would he be so good at hiding his emotions.

It is not as cute, but more attractive, like a gift wrapped in layers, attracting people to open it and see what is inside.

In addition, the second floor below ground in the villa is half a garage and half a huge home theater. He Yu turned on the assembled equipment and showed him the playback effect. Surround sound came from the top speakers, and lying on the comfortable sofa chair, he could see the entire huge screen. As usual, He Yu did everything to the extreme and understood his preferences 100%.

Wen Qiu looked at the screen absent-mindedly. He was still thinking about the child's room and the meaning behind it - according to the current relationship, He Yu was the child's uncle, and he could accept and take care of him like his own cub.

Xiao Zhiliao has pheromone deficiency. He has visited many specialist clinics in China, but they all said that he could only wait for recovery. Wen Qiu read a lot of literature and learned that there is an expert in this field in the United States who has cured many children. He has always wanted to take Xiao Zhiliao to the United States, but it is difficult to achieve it on his own. As long as he asks He Yu for help, everything will become very easy...

But Pei Du, he couldn't possibly accept Xiao Zhile, no, it should be said that he cared about it to death, wasn't the last time they broke up because he discovered the existence of Xiao Zhile? They were dating now, and they just tacitly didn't mention the child, pretending that he never existed.

Now he has to divide his energy into four parts: one for the child, one for the school, one for the screenwriting class, and one for Pei Du. He already feels very exhausted and often feels overwhelmed. Besides, the child will always grow up and need more and more efforts to cultivate. He can't always pretend to be indifferent in front of Pei Du...

He wanted to cure Xiao Zhiliao's disease, he wanted to give his children and himself a home, and he wanted a future full of certainty. These are the rice in the bowl, the money in the pocket, and the things necessary to sustain life. Although the feeling of "love" is beautiful, it is just like the bright moon in the sky, which is out of reach.

Suddenly, Wen Qiu smelled a faint sandalwood pheromone in the air and turned his head abruptly.

He Yu was still looking ahead, the light from the screen changing on his glasses, "How is it, repulsion?"
