The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

"Ahh..." He walked over with a heroic and confident look, and threw the building blocks at the bad guy's head. Pei Du rubbed his head, as if an elephant was bitten by an ant.

Wen Qiu came back to his senses panting, and was surprised to realize something. He pushed Pei Du away and said, "Xiao Zhiliao? Did you just walk over here?!"

The little cicada took two more steps with his short legs, flew into his arms, and resolutely took possession of his father, separating him from the bad guys, "Dad!"

"Wow, now you can walk?" Pei Du curled his lips, took a step back, and then his face twisted - he stepped on the building blocks on the ground.

Why did it suddenly leave? What was the triggering mechanism? An amazing guess flashed through Wen Qiu's mind. He carried Xiao Zhiliao to another corner of the room, then pulled Pei Du's collar and said, "Try to kiss me again."

How could Pei Du miss this opportunity? He pushed him against the wall, pinched his chin and gave him a deep kiss. However, Wen Qiu's mind was not on him at all, and he secretly looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

Little Zhiliao looked very angry, with puffy cheeks, and walked over slowly while calling "Dad". Seeing that the building blocks could not threaten the bad guy who bullied his dad, he grabbed Pei Du's calf and bit it.

This is different from the oral stage when one wants to put everything in his mouth and bite it. This is real biting, even though a mouthful of baby teeth cannot cause any effective damage.

Pei Du hissed, picked him up and shook him, thinking that this kid really had inherited his true skills and was really ruthless.

Wen Qiu immediately took the child over, and was so happy that he didn't know what to say, "Did you see that? He can really walk! I was so worried before, oh my god..."

"Take another step, baby, try taking another step!" Wen Qiu put the little cicada on the ground and looked at him encouragingly.

However, this time, the little cicada sat on the ground motionless again, babbling and stretching out his hands to ask for a hug.

"The case is solved. It's not that this little guy can't walk, but he wants you to hold him." Pei Du touched his chin, "So you just spoiled him too much. Every time he lay on the ground and refused to move, you would kiss him and hug him, giving him all your attention. Over time, this little guy became smart and deliberately refused to walk, making you worry."

He has been so shrewd since he was a child, what will he be like when he grows up? Pei Du looked at the way he clung to Wen Qiu and refused to let go, thinking that this kid would definitely be a scheming daddy's boy when he grows up, and no one could compete with him for favor.

Wen Qiu found it incredible. How could such a young child have such complicated thoughts? However, the scene he just saw left no doubt.

I really don’t know who this little guy looks like... Could it be that he inherited that clingy personality from his unknown father?

However, thinking about it carefully, it was actually his fault. He spent too little time with his child, which made the child feel insecure and try so hard to get his attention.

Wen Qiu hugged Xiao Zhiliao tightly, full of remorse, and kept kissing his cheek. Xiao Zhiliao felt that he had won the fight against the bad uncle, monopolizing all of his father's attention, and raised his head proudly.

Pei Du watched this scene silently, his heart still suffering from jealousy, but this father and son were such an inseparable whole, as if the child was just bone of Wen Qiu's bone and flesh of his flesh.

And his arms were just broad enough that he could just hold them together when he stretched out his hands, creating a peaceful space for them.

After that meeting, Pei Du began to try to take on more responsibilities as "ALPHA's father", from giving gifts to the child, to accompanying the child to early education classes, to washing bottles and changing diapers, he pushed himself to do it.

That was not an easy task, he often had to fight the devil in his heart and suppress the exclusive instinct of ALPHA. But the good news was that Wen Qiu could see all his efforts, except for his mouth, which had already been stroked, hugged and kissed.

With the concerted care of the two, little Zhiliao finally became brisk. His latest hobby is playing football with Uncle Pei. He plays until he is exhausted every day and starts snoring the second he touches the pillow.

Summer vacation came in a blink of an eye. The filming of "Season of Love" officially started in July. The location they borrowed happened to be the century-old campus of Jianghe University. Wen Qiu also joined the crew. It was his first time to get close to the filming of a film and television drama. He was full of curiosity and anticipation.

The campus plot needed to be filmed during the summer vacation, so the schedule was very tight and everyone in the crew was very busy. Wen Qiu thought he would be free in the screenwriting team, but when he got there, he found that he needed to adjust the script at any time according to the shooting situation. Sometimes the performance was not good, or any party of the investment, director or actor expressed dissatisfaction, Jin Ling would lead people to work all night to revise the script.

After working non-stop for more than ten days, everyone's eyes were red. Wen Qiu was not the main force of the screenwriter team. He would occasionally make a guest appearance to do miscellaneous tasks, but he was also very busy during the day.

But there are also many interesting and fun things. For example, sometimes fans come to visit the set, and several times little girls grab him and ask which star he is. After Wen Qiu said he is not a star, the little girl gave him a small gift and asked for his autograph, and encouraged him with sparkling eyes, "Come on, you will definitely be famous!" Wen Qiu was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In addition to the male and female protagonists, the crew is full of small stars, and they get along better than expected. The actor who plays Ji Beifeng is Zhong Ye, from an idol group that just became popular this year. He is a handsome guy with sharp eyebrows and salty eyes. Wen Qiu felt that he was unapproachable when he first met him, but after reading the plot of his role, the handsome guy cried and came to him with tears in his eyes, saying, "Brother, you wrote it too well. What should I do if I can't act it out?"

Wen Qiu asked, this crying monster is 18 years old this year, a fool who only grows in height but not in brains. Zhong Ye has no relatives in the crew, Wen Qiu only explained the play to him a few times, and he was attached to the stray dog.

That day, Zhong Ye looked very upset. Wen Qiu squatted with him to eat a box lunch, and suddenly heard him stammering, "Brother, you are so good-looking, why don't you become an actor?"

Wen Qiu was almost done explaining this question, and said without even raising his head: "Everyone has their own aspirations. I prefer writing." "But isn't this a waste of your looks? If you debuted, you wouldn't need any acting skills at all. You could become famous just with your face," said Zhong Ye.

Wen Qiu raised his head and squinted at him: "What do you want to say?"

"I heard that you... filmed some things before," Zhong Ye whispered, "I really just heard them say that you were afraid of being exposed, so you didn't dare to appear on camera."

Wen Qiu's fingers trembled imperceptibly, and his voice gradually turned cold. "Who told you that? What did I film?"

"That's right. They all said that you used to work as an online porn star and even filmed gay videos..." Seeing that his face was not right, Zhong Ye quickly added, "I didn't believe it! I just came here to ask out of curiosity! I was always speaking for you when those people were talking."

Wen Qiu put down the lunch box and said calmly: "They are just rumors. It's right not to believe them."

He had only eaten half of the meal when he lost his appetite and left. Zhong Ye knew he had said something wrong and stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth. He didn't want to believe the rumors, but it was really strange. If Wen Qiu didn't have a dark history, why didn't he become an actor to make money?
As luck would have it, that afternoon, a task fell on Wen Qiu: a certain plot required a foreigner to appear in the scene, but foreign extras were difficult to find, and their salary was ten times that of Chinese people.

The director waved his hand and said, "Hey, Xiao Wen, come and play the role of this foreign student!"

The way he rubbed his hands was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather he had been coveting this mobile resource of beauty for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to use it.

As soon as the director said this, everyone looked at Wen Qiu. I don't know how long that outrageous rumor has been circulating, but I guess many people already know about it. Those people all have looks of anticipation, and some close friends also look worried.

Only Wen Qiu just smiled easily and put down the sundries in his hands: "Okay."

As expected, those who were watching the show showed disappointment on their faces - Wen Qiu agreed so easily, and the rumors that he didn't dare to appear on camera were self-defeating.

The makeup artist put a net on him to cover his natural hair, and then put a platinum wig on him. His collarbone was faintly visible under the large oversized sweater, and he wore a black choker around his neck and shiny earrings on his ears.

In the plot, he plays Symon, an exchange student who frequently appears in the coffee shop where the heroine works. He drinks coffee but really wants to pick up girls. Just when Symon seizes the opportunity to tease the heroine, the hero appears at the right time and reveals that he is a foreign scum who uses his good looks to cheat for sex. Symon gets angry and insults her in English, but the hero responds in equally fluent English.

It’s really a supporting role that even a dog wouldn’t play… But Wen Qiu doesn’t care, after all, he doesn’t plan to make a living as an actor.

After he memorized a few lines, the assistant director saw that he was a novice and personally acted with him. Wen Qiu pointed at the lines and asked, "Which country is Symon an international student from?"

"Uh, what's the difference?"

"Of course, English accents vary greatly from country to country."

Many actors have a low level of education and their English is even worse, so most of them will be dubbed. The assistant director said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about that. Just lip sync. We will find a dubbing teacher to help you with the English dubbing."

"I can read it myself without any problem." Wen Qiu glanced at the script and read the English passage naturally and fluently, "Is this okay?"

The assistant director's eyes lit up and he gave him a thumbs up, "Nice! Very good!"

After a rough rehearsal, the director called out, "Okay, Xiao Wen, try it first to get a feel for it."

There are several scenes in a row where he sits in a cafe, sometimes chatting with friends, sometimes typing on the keyboard, but no matter what he does, his eyes always flicker towards the heroine.

Although they were shot on different days in the plot, they were shot in succession. Wen Qiu found some feeling. Symon's nature was romantic and dissolute, but he couldn't show his true colors at this moment, so his expression was natural and friendly, except for his pair of emerald green eyes with a sly smile. When he looked at the heroine, his long eyelashes blinked, as if he was fanning some bad ideas.

He had spent two years of his life acting intensively, which was his way of survival, so his acting skills had long been perfect. When he held his chin and looked at the heroine with a smile, the heroine couldn't help but be startled and turned her head away shyly - the action was much more natural than her previous acting, and I don't know if she was brought into the play or was really shy.

Not only the heroine, but everyone around was stunned. Wen Qiu was good-looking to begin with, and with the makeup artist's deliberate modification of his appearance, his beauty undoubtedly reached its peak at this moment. He was usually very silent and introverted, but when he played this role, his temperament completely became confident and outspoken, shining as dazzlingly as the sun.

"Great acting!" The director clapped his hands. "Okay, let's take a break and start shooting right away. Just follow the feeling just now!"

Wen Qiu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the cameraman approaching with a camera. The black lens was pointed at him, which made his heart suddenly rise and his fists clenched unconsciously.
