This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 71
Chap 71
After Xiao Yiheng left, Li Cheng came back to his senses and dizzily took out the note from his swimming trunks.
For the thousandth time, he was glad that he was wearing long swimming trunks. If he had worn those low-waisted swimming trunks, if Xiao Yiheng had given him money … Wait, stop!
Stop!
Li Cheng shook his head hard and dispelled the fantasy in his mind.
He focused on the note — Xiao Yiheng’s handwriting was very good, just like his personality. It was very restrained, but each stroke had a natural strength of character.
Li Cheng thought about his “ant body” handwriting and for the first time, he had the idea of practicing calligraphy.
The meeting time was set for Saturday morning, and the place was naturally still the same art classroom.
Li Cheng felt a little guilty. When Teacher Qiu Xian took maternity leave and entrusted the key to Xiao Yiheng, she definitely didn’t expect that the sacred classroom would be the place for their secret rendezvous.
Saturday morning, Xiao Family.
Even if it was the weekend, this “3A” family absolutely did not allow family members to stay in bed for more than a minute.
At seven o ‘clock in the morning, the three members of the Xiao Family sat around the dining table in silence as usual.
Mother Xiao prepared breakfast as usual. In front of everyone was a cup of coffee, fried eggs, bacon, and bread and jam that she bought in advance.
Of course, all the ingredients were bought from the members-only high-end supermarket. They were all organic and natural, so the taste was naturally worthy of the price.
But no matter how good the ingredients were, they were like wood chaff in Xiao Yiheng’s mouth.
A few days ago, Li Cheng sent the steamed buns and fried dough sticks. Even if they were cold, they were far better than these things.
Father Xiao was using a tablet to browse his work email. As a high-ranking professor, he was now teaching five graduate students.
When Xiao Yiheng was still young, he once went to the university where his father taught to look for him. As a result, he happened to see his father scolding the graduate students in charge because of an experimental data error … That scene left a deep impression on Xiao Yiheng. From then on, he knew that his father really did not have “feelings”.
At the top of the mailbox was an email from the Academic Affairs Office. The title had a red exclamation mark, indicating that it was a very important email.
Mr. Xiao put down the coffee cup, frowned, and opened it. After reading it from beginning to end, he cursed in a low voice.
“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Xiao asked.
“The dean’s secretary sent me another email.”
Mr. Xiao said impatiently, “It’s still the same thing. He said that I’ve only recruited Alpha students for five years in a row. After every interview, Beta and Omega students complained. According to the Code of Conduct for Teachers, if I don’t adjust the gender ratio next year, I won’t be allowed to teach new students.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao immediately said, “I’ll help you with this.”
She and her husband worked in the same school, but she was in the administrative department, so she often interacted with the academic affairs office.
“That’s ridiculous. The postgraduate interview is a two-way choice.
If students can choose their teachers, why can’t teachers choose their students? ”
Mr. Xiao took another sip of coffee and said angrily, “Beta students are too mediocre. They’re blockheads who don’t understand. The same knowledge, other people learn it once, but Beta students have to teach it several times. Omega students are too weak. Anyway, they’re going to get married in the end. Why should I waste my energy to teach them?
After choosing, Alpha students are still better. ”
He had said the same thing more than once or twice. In the current popular words of young people, he was an out-and-out straight A cancer.
Xiao Yiheng had endured his father’s remarks since he was a child, but for some reason, he did not want to endure it anymore today.
He put down his chopsticks, looked up at his father sitting across from him, and interrupted him rudely, “Your point of view has too many subjective factors.
Modern medicine has long proven that the difference in IQ between the three genders is negligible. There is only a certain difference in physical development, and this difference can be made up with postnatal training. ”
He paused and said, “I know that in power organizations and academic institutions, the proportion of Alpha students is far greater than the other two genders, but this is because of the inequality of gender concepts, not because of the inequality of ability. By the way, the two leaders of the discipline known as the mother of artificial wombs are a Beta and an Omega.
If you want to deny the ability of Beta and Omega, then I wouldn’t have existed eighteen years ago. ”
Xiao Yiheng rarely expressed his opinions at home. He had always been silent and obedient in front of his parents.
His sudden outburst this time was really out of their expectations.
Mr. Xiao was used to being the “head of the family” at home, so he immediately pulled a long face when he heard this.
But before he could say anything, Mrs. Xiao beside him had already spoken first.
“Yiheng, how can you talk to your father like that!” Mrs. Xiao slammed the table. “Do you think you’re the only one who knows more?
Your father and I have painstakingly raised you for so many years, not for you to contradict us! ”
Xiao Yiheng sneered in his heart. That’s right. His parents raised him to be a yes-man who would “inherit” and “carry forward” their dreams. Under their expectations, he would learn, work, stand out, and become the alpha of alpha.
“What’s wrong with you?
First, you lied to Mom and Dad, then you went to watch a swimming competition, and then you became a teaching assistant for physiology without saying a word. Do you know how much time you wasted?
The third year of high school is the most precious time. You can’t waste a single minute! ”
The more Mrs. Xiao spoke, the angrier she became. Her voice was getting louder and louder. “Tell me the truth. You applied for the winter camp in the capital. Did you want to run away from us?
So far away from us that we can’t control you anymore?! ”
These words were said to show concern for Xiao Yiheng’s studies, but he knew better than anyone that all their care and concern was just to control him.
Faced with his mother’s questioning, Xiao Yiheng paused for two seconds and asked, “… Can’t I have my own things, my own goals, and my own ideas?”
“You’re still a child.” This time, Mr. Xiao spoke. “Why would a child need ‘yourself’?”
“…” Xiao Yiheng didn’t say anything else.
He thought that his parents might have forgotten that he was going to turn eighteen next month. Next month, he would become an adult in the legal sense.
He thought about the paintings he had entrusted to Qiu Xian for the past few years, then thought about the money he had accumulated in his private account … He narrowed his eyes and hid the surging thoughts in his eyes.
After breakfast, Xiao Yiheng picked up his backpack and used the excuse of going to school for tutoring.
Mrs. Xiao was a little suspicious, but in the end, she didn’t stop him.
The moment he left the house, it was as if something heavy had suddenly disappeared from his shoulders. It was only then that Xiao Yiheng could heave a sigh of relief.
The campus was empty on a Saturday, but some classes would organize tutoring, so occasionally, a few students could be seen on campus.
When Xiao Yiheng walked through the field, he bumped into a few students of the same grade. He nodded slightly as a greeting, and when he passed by, he heard them talking about, “No wonder he’s a straight-A student. His grades are so good, but he still wants to recharge his batteries.”
They were right, Xiao Yiheng did come to recharge his batteries.
He turned around and walked towards the multi-purpose building.
He walked up the stairs and found the art classroom on the top floor. The treasure that could recharge his soul was hidden in the art classroom.
Not only was Li Cheng not late today, but he was ten minutes early.
However, he didn’t have the key to the art classroom, so he leaned against the door and sat on the floor. He concentrated on playing a game on his phone.
He turned up the volume so loud that it drowned out the sound of Xiao Yiheng’s footsteps.
It wasn’t until a pair of sneakers appeared in his line of sight that Li Cheng hurriedly put away his phone and looked up at Xiao Yiheng who was standing in front of him.
“Do you need me to give you a few more minutes to finish this round?” Xiao Yiheng asked slowly.
“No, I’m not playing anymore.”
Li Cheng was very forthright. He directly locked his phone and put it in his pocket. What a joke, how could the life and death of his teammates be related to his wife?
Important.
Moreover, his teammates were all his subordinates. Even if he disconnected halfway, they wouldn’t dare to kick him out of the guild.
Li Cheng grabbed Xiao Yiheng’s hand and stood up. When the two of them were close enough, Li Cheng noticed that something was wrong.
Li Cheng directly asked, “… Are you in a bad mood today?”
Li Cheng couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but he had a feeling that something was wrong.
Xiao Yiheng didn’t know how to tell him about the conflict between him and his parents. He could only simplify it by saying, “Yes.”
Fortunately, Li Cheng wasn’t the kind of person who liked to get to the bottom of things. Without saying anything, he immediately opened his arms and gave Xiao Yiheng a hug.
“If you have something to tell me, I’ll help you!”
Li Cheng forcefully pressed Alpha’s head on his shoulder. “If you want to cry, it’s okay. You can lean on my shoulder!”
Xiao Yiheng was amused by him.
He pressed his forehead against Li Cheng’s neck. His laughter was very light but also very heavy, hitting Li Cheng’s heart.
They stood in the empty corridor and hugged each other quietly for who knows how long. The sensor lights above their heads went off one by one, leaving only the light from the window to cover their bodies.
After a long time, Xiao Yiheng was the first to let go and stood up straight.
Li Cheng looked at him carefully and said with some regret, “So you didn’t cry?”
Xiao Yiheng had seen him cry before. He thought that seeing Xiao Yiheng cry this time would be able to get back at him.
Xiao Yiheng replied, “I haven’t cried for many years.”
“That’s not okay!” Li Cheng tried to scare him. “Even if you’re a man, it’s good to cry occasionally.
This kind of water is a channel for emotional catharsis. If you hold it in, it will hurt your body! ”
Xiao Yiheng paused for a few seconds. “… Chengcheng, the second half of your sentence actually refers to another kind of water.”
Li Cheng: “?”
Li Cheng didn’t understand at all.
However, Xiao Yiheng didn’t intend to explain. He opened the art classroom door with the key, held Li Cheng’s hand, and walked into the classroom.
He had already made arrangements in the art classroom in advance. The recently completed works were all sent to Teacher Qiuxian’s house after brushing oil and drying them. He asked her to help contact the gallery to sell them. Now, the entire classroom was empty, and the middle was completely empty. She didn’t know where he got a simple sofa from, but he covered it with a cloth and placed two pillows on it.
“Sit.”
Xiao Yiheng moved a chair and sat across from the sofa. He put down his bag and took out a black hardcover book and a few sharpened pencils.
The book wasn’t big. At first glance, Li Cheng thought it was a diary or something. He didn’t expect Xiao Yiheng to directly open the middle page of the book. It looked like he was going to draw directly in the book.
Li Cheng was confused. He pointed at the easel piled up against the corner of the room. “You don’t need those?”
“No, I want to do a quick sketch today.” Xiao Yiheng raised the book in his hand. “This is enough.”
The so-called quick sketch, as the name implied, was to draw a person or a scene in a very short amount of time.
Xiao Yiheng had always been drawing scenery. However, after meeting Li Cheng, a strong desire to create emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to draw him with a brush. He wanted to draw his bright eyes, straight nose, smiling lips … He wanted to draw his body and his soul.
When Li Cheng was in art class, he had once been a model for the other students in the class, but that time, he was just playing around. The students wrote that he looked strange, as if he was a monster that had failed to pass the tribulation.
However, it was different this time. He was a model for his boyfriend!
Li Cheng was excited and nervous. He sat on the sofa and didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
“You don’t have to be so stiff.” Xiao Yiheng guided him with words. “Just do what you like.”
What he liked …
Li Cheng subconsciously posed as a “thinker”. “Is this okay?”
Xiao Yiheng: “…”
Seeing that his boyfriend was not satisfied, Li Cheng posed as a “discus thrower”. “How about this?”
Xiao Yiheng: “…”
Li Cheng then posed as the Statue of Liberty, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and other poses. If it weren’t for the fact that Venus’ arm was broken and he didn’t know how to pose, he even wanted to learn from her.
“You don’t have to go through so much trouble.”
Xiao Yiheng hurriedly stopped him. “You just have to do what you usually do. You can lie on the sofa, read a book, or play with your phone. As long as you don’t move for a few minutes, you can change your posture at will.”
This requirement was too lax!
Li Cheng immediately lay down, picked up the book at hand, and began to flip through it.
Those books were prepared in advance by Xiao Yiheng. He knew that Li Cheng didn’t like to read textbooks, so he prepared a few popular fantasy novels for him.
At first, Li Cheng just casually flipped through the books to pose, but the more he read, the more fascinated he became. When he got excited, he directly sat up from the sofa, leaned back on the sofa, sat cross-legged, and put the book on his knees to read.
As the plot progressed, Li Cheng’s expression also changed. His cheekbones flew up and down, and his eyebrows were raised like a tap dance.
Xiao Yiheng quietly observed him and captured every subtle change in his expression.
This page was full of Li Cheng’s lively eyes.
This page was full of Li Cheng’s hands as he flipped through the novel.
When he flipped to the next page, it was Li Cheng’s sitting posture. Even if he only used a few circles to outline the basic framework, it was easy to tell who he was drawing at a glance.
Finally, this fantasy novel turned to the last page. Li Cheng let out a long sigh and closed the cover. His body and mind were still immersed in the world of the novel. Then, he remembered that he was here to be a model!!
He looked at Xiao Yiheng awkwardly, but soon found that Xiao Yiheng had already flipped through several pages of the sketchbook … This meant that his “work” was done quite well?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng asked with confidence, “Hey, Xiao Yiheng, did you bring the second volume of this novel?”
Xiao Yiheng stopped writing and looked at him, “I can give you the second volume, but I have a request.”
“What request?”
“Can you not call me by my full name?”
Xiao Yiheng said, “We are officially dating. I call you Chengcheng, so you should also call me by a more intimate name.”
Li Cheng thought for a moment, “Then I’ll call you Hengheng?”
“…” Xiao Yiheng immediately refused, “No, change it.”
In fact, Li Cheng thought that “Hengheng” sounded quite nice. He secretly called her a few times in his heart, but unfortunately, Hengheng couldn’t hear him.
It didn’t matter. Li Cheng was “flexible”. Xiao Yiheng said that he didn’t like this nickname, so he immediately changed his nickname, “Please give me the second volume, honey.”
Xiao Yiheng, “…”
Not to mention the second volume, from now on, he didn’t even have the first volume.
