Chapter 139
Lu Xiao completely got the joy of being a full-time dad... When it doesn't disturb his evening activities, he still loves Little Rose very much, even Mrs. Lu, who is eager to have a grandson, can't compete with him.
"You let me hug my baby." Mrs. Lu opened her arms and pleaded in front of Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao lowered his head and wanted to give Little Rose to her, but he was a little bit reluctant... The rose-colored pink on Little Rose's skin had faded, replaced by fair and tender skin. The wrinkles of the old man's style have also disappeared, and the facial features are exquisitely crafted, and Yuxue is lovely.
"You've been hugging me for a few days, it's time for me." Madam Lu said while grinding her teeth... Her love for Sun Zai can't be released, and even her son is not so pleasing to the eye.
Little Rose is still young, and her skeleton is not yet fully developed, especially the cervical spine can't support her head. Every time they hug him, they hug him carefully. Little Rose can sleep twenty hours a day before, but now it has slowed down a little, and she can't sleep. Requires sixteen to eighteen hours of rest and can only be held when the baby is awake and wants to nurse...
With the superimposition of the two, she didn't have much time to hold Little Rose, and it was squeezed out by Lu Xiao. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu turned her head fiercely and threw a sharp knife at Lu Xiao.
When Lu Xiao received the signal, he still didn't know what to do... He hugged Little Rose at the side and focused on his tender little face.
The servants around stood silently, feeling speechless in their hearts. They had an extra child, and their salary still had a red envelope, but their workload didn't increase much... The two Lu family members competed to hold the child every day...
"He seems to have opened his eyes." Lu Xiao hesitated...Little Rose is really a good baby who can eat and sleep. When she is free, she keeps her eyes closed and tries to play with her fists. This is the first time he has seen his eyes …
"What color is it?" Mrs. Lu didn't care to continue arguing with Lu Xiao, she hurried over and leaned over to watch Little Rose's every move carefully, hoping to wait for him to open his eyes again.
"It seems to be blue...I didn't see it clearly, Mom, go and call Ling Cen down..." Lu Xiao whispered, Ling Cen probably didn't want to miss it.
Lu Xiao recalled the color of the iris that flashed past in his mind. He just opened his eyes slightly, and he couldn't see it clearly even though his slender eyelashes blocked it.
"Hmm." Mrs. Lu replied casually, how could she be willing to leave? He waved his hand to signal a servant who was guarding outside the door to call Ling Cen.
Ling Cen changed his clothes and came down. Before he could speak, Little Rose opened her eyes again, wanting to drink milk! This time, all three of them saw clearly.
"It's so beautiful!" Ling Cen praised happily in a low voice, it's the same deep and clean blue ocean color as Lu Xiao... It's almost a reprint of Lu Xiao's version, but slightly lighter than his, this is really his favorite color up.
"Hmm..." Lu Xiao responded gently, but actually he was a little bit disappointed... He originally hoped that Little Rose would have Ling Cen's dark brown pupils.
After drinking enough milk, Little Rose smacked her little mouth in satisfaction and fell asleep.
"Oh, my family..." It's so cute. Mrs. Lu wanted to say her name, but she could only swipe over. Realizing the problem, she asked helplessly, "Where's the baby's name? Haven't you picked it yet?"
"..." Lu Xiao and Ling Cen looked at each other in embarrassment, but they really didn't get up... They kept shouting loudly, and he didn't notice this problem until Mrs. Lu mentioned it.
You can't tell him about this. Looking at Little Rose's peaceful sleeping face, Ling Cen secretly thought in his heart, just like that time...he treated his stomach pain...you can't tell him!
"Honey, can you give him a name?" Ling Cen leaned over and gently touched Little Rose's round face... whispered.
Lu Xiao felt that the burden on him was heavy, and he felt the responsibility of his father... After pondering for a long time, Mrs. Lu impatiently urged her a few times before saying in a deep voice, "It's called Lu Yue."
"Is there any moral?" Ling Cen asked softly, and Mrs. Lu was also looking forward to it.
Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I hope he can stop Yue Zhi..." Transliteration is also a beautiful word in Chinese language.
Madam Lu nodded slightly, quite satisfied, Ling Cen frowned... He didn't understand, so he nodded blankly.
Seeing his frown, Lu Xiao guessed that he didn't understand, and patiently explained: "It's a kind of expectation for his character, I hope he can be an Alpha with noble character, like deep water, and towering like a mountain." .”
This time Ling Cen understood what he heard, smiled and nodded repeatedly, and praised: "You're doing well!" You're very knowledgeable at first glance, but it's fine if you have a noble character...
He hoped that student Lu Yue would be more selfish, stand on his own point of view, and think more about himself in everything... Don't sacrifice yourself for others like his father, and contribute to the well-being of most people. One from the "hero" family is enough. Ling Cen thought silently at the side.
Lu Xiao smiled modestly, turned on the automatic driving of the wheelchair, entered Little Rose's room, put the soft dumpling in his arms into the crib, thought of nearly a hundred names, struggled for a long time, and chose one of them today. I told Ling Cen...
"Actually... Yue means a tall mountain. Mountains are also made of stones. Shall we call him a small stone?"
"Tell mom their nickname." Little Rose is the love between them, not for outsiders... Er Gouzi really can't do it, this nickname is more normal, Ling Cen leaned against the door frame, turned his head and put it away Lu Xiao, who came out of the group, said in a low voice.
"Yes." Lu Xiao pondered for a moment and responded with a smile.
This name is actually not bad. The stone is strong and tenacious. I hope he can be healthy and turn bad luck into good luck.
"I love you." Seeing his lover agreeing, Ling Cen's smile became even sweeter, and he leaned over and kissed Lu Xiao affectionately on the side.
Lu Xiao was enjoying the tenderness of his partner. After a while, Ling Cen straightened his back again. Lu Xiao watched Ling Cen's belly move away, feeling more and more disappointed...
Reaching out and pressing it, he said depressedly, "Do you want milk tea? Let the kitchen make it for you." Put a double serving of sugar...
"I don't want to!" Ling Cen resolutely refused, with unspeakable gloating in his voice. Dad's abs and mermaid lines are coming back soon... Ling Cen groaned twice in his heart when I asked you to pinch my belly.
Lu Xiao launched macarons and some cheese and high-calorie desserts that Ling Cen loves... Ling Cen ruthlessly rejected them all.
Lu Xiao can only watch his beloved Ling Cen, who is a little soft and has a good handle, pass away with the wind, replaced by his charming and flamboyant federal male god Ling Cen returning...
The dream of the Federation Alpha is to have Ling Cen, the male god of the masses, smile at him tenderly, preferably with some intimacy.
But he can let the Federation Alpha's dream lover sleep with him...do whatever he wants, and he even has a request, expressing that he wants Ling Cen, who is soft after giving birth, that is, the former.
It's a little crazy for him to say that, and he seems to be ignorant of the sufferings of the world... Lu Xiao shook his head resentfully and stopped thinking about it.
In the afternoon, Hai Li personally visited Ling Cen. Ling Cen's comeback is coming soon. They have to finalize the next itinerary before she can make arrangements.
Lu Xiao silently retreated downstairs to take care of Little Rose and stopped disturbing their conversation.
"You sit down first, I'll go and tidy up." Ling Cen smiled and asked Haili to sit in the living room of their room and drink tea, then went back to the room to dry her hair.
Lu Xiao finally persuaded his mother to let him trim his hair. The barber just left not long ago...he did it again by himself.
In fact, this kind of postpartum care and various customs are all adapted to the current situation. It was not allowed to trim hair for a period of time after giving birth, probably because I was worried that there would be sequelae after catching a cold in the bath, but it is already the interstellar era, and these old customs certainly do not need to be restrained. After a dispute between their mother and son, they can finally change their hair style up.
Ling Cen shrugged, dried his hair and went out to find Hai Li.
"Hailey, you look good recently, how are you getting along with Carl?" Ling Cen sat down on the sofa seat, pushed the snacks in front of Haili and smiled.
Carl always has a sweet face when he mentions Hai Li when he sees him.
Sure enough, Hai Li also put on a smile and said shyly, "Mmm...it's pretty good."
Ling Cen teased her a few words, and Hai Li begged for mercy unbearably: "Brother Ling, let's get down to business. How is your script? Do you like it?"
"Hmm..." Ling Cen pondered for a while, and went back to the bedroom to bring out a stack of paper scripts. The film hadn't even been launched yet, and it was in a confidential stage. Only a few sent him the full script, and the rest were excerpts from his characters. .
But there were too many scripts. Ling Cen printed out the electronic scripts that Haili sent him, and it became a thick stack.
"These... I don't like them very much. The characters are too vain? Can you understand what I mean?" Ling Cen raised his head and explained to Hai Li.
He no longer wants to make handsome movies. He is now at the peak of Omega in terms of age, acting skills and physical fitness. He should leave some real works handed down from generation to generation so that he can still go to the Federal Film Festival when he is old. A tribute to the classic ones.
"Well, I know." Haili was a little confused, and she also knew this problem: "But this kind of role will not have black spots, and the fan base is relatively high..." It is an easy-to-earn salary.
Ling Cen smiled and shook his head, silently pushed these scripts aside, and pulled over the ones he had carefully annotated with a light-colored marker. He had already passed the time for the director to choose him, and now the film crew entrusted the scripts to him. In front of him, let him choose...
"This one, and this one I think are good." The scripts were spread out on the coffee table, and Ling Cen tapped lightly on some of the scripts that Haili brought him. Among the three he liked, two were in his previous life. They all won awards... the box office has a good reputation.
However, he was already on the decline at that time. With this level of investment...he had no access to the book of the cast.
Ling Cen felt a little dazed when he recalled these things. In his previous life, he was focused on himself and worked hard to develop his own career... As a result, the sword went astray and was injured by the sharp edge...
But now, after he finished filming "Thousands of Miles", he gave up his career and concentrated on giving birth to Little Rose at home. He completely faded out of the entertainment industry for half a year without any active exposure, and the waves behind the waves push the waves ahead...
He didn't show up for half a year, and the entertainment and movie circles should be in a state of "no such person". He was ready to start all over again, but by mistake, he maintained his title of "Federal God". The stickiness of the number of fans is even better than before...
"Then which one do you want to pick up? The timing of these two conflicts... The filming location should also be far away from the background of the plot. We can't intervene." Hai Li asked in a low voice with some hesitation.
"This." Ling Cen shook off his memories, and pulled one of the scripts in front of him and Hai Li. It was densely covered with Ling Cen's patient comments.
Hai Li flipped through two pages of the character script sent to them by the film studio, and quickly recalled this...
"Fantasy movies... are not very popular recently." Hai Li was speechless for a while, and the audience's tastes were getting higher and higher. No matter how good the script of fantasy movies is, the special effects can't keep up with it, the audience won't buy it, and they will make countless complaints. Not a good one.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ling Cen teased her with a smile.
"The signboard of this investment film company is very strong..." The industry claims that the products they produce must be high-quality products. Haili bowed her body, clenched her hands into fists, and defended in a low voice: "They said that the investment can keep up..." She was going to wait and see Yes, to see if they really have an investment budget.
"I've accepted this, go sign it." Ling Cen said with a smile, pushing the script to Haili.
He has heard about this movie, and there should be no major changes in the script.
The background of the story is that a federation of galaxies discovered a new free and civilized country, the undersea kingdom, and both parties were aware of each other's existence for the first time.
The main content of the story is the story of the underwater kingdom world and the expedition team... The inhabitants of the submarine kingdom can breathe freely under the sea, and have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years. The stronger ones can even control the water flow. Under the direction of the Federation, the expedition team approached them with malicious intentions. , want to get the secrets of the underwater kingdom, get their abilities and lifespan...
Different from popular movies, the residents of the underwater kingdom in this film are not naive, and their king is even more cruel and sinister... Pretending to be ignorant, they indulged the expedition team to find the secrets of the underwater kingdom, but in fact they have been secretly observing their land. People's various actions, looking for weaknesses.
In the end, the greedy expedition team finally discovered the "Fountain of Power" in the underwater kingdom, and before they could take it away, the king suddenly launched an attack.
What the expedition team didn't know was that the royal family had the ability to control nature and the waves and tides. After the expedition team was annihilated, the king showed a mimetic appearance, with a human body and fish tail, and sat on the top of the huge waves with a slender fish tail hanging down.
It set off waves and destroyed the federation that thought it was powerful, had no respect for other lives, and had no reverence for nature. A federation collapsed in an instant...Wang Yang gently covered layers of corpses, leaving no trace.
The role that the film studio invited him to play was the mermaid king, a villain.
This movie goes in the opposite direction. The villain defeats the conventional positive characters and wins, which surprises the audience and achieves a refreshing effect. In addition to the exquisite and magnificent special effects, it also makes people reflect.
The strong write history, so we are unscrupulous, but in the eyes of the stronger king, the ants become themselves... Destruction is only in an instant, like layers of wheat waves under the sickle, which are easily harvested, and the "lower primitive" with the sickle falling Inhabitants"... Is our endless expansion of territory and resource extraction really right?
Chapter 140
"Okay, then I'll discuss signing the contract." Hai Li finally compromised, putting away the script and putting it in her handbag. She was still very satisfied with the salary price offered by the film studio, but she was just worried. Special effects problem.
"En." Ling Cen crossed his fingers in front of him and muttered softly, "When you go to sign the contract, make it clear that I have one additional condition."
"Little Shitou is still young. I have to go home on two days off every week. If the work is stressful, I can also take a single day off." Lu Xiao said that he can take care of Little Rose by himself, but he is the child's mother...how could he really be a child? Let go of the shopkeeper?
"Brother Ling, this?" Hai Li realized that 'little stone' is the nickname of Ling Cen's child. She took the script out of her bag and was about to write down Ling Cen's request with the marker on the coffee table... Hearing this, Also a little helpless.
"It's not like we haven't filmed scripts with this kind of investment... Like "Thousands of Miles", we asked for leave a few times, and the director was very unhappy..." What about double breaks or single breaks? Ling Cen's dream is quite good, Haili is very melancholy.
"Go and talk." Ling Cen is quite confident. Today is different from the past. He has more bargaining chips in his hands. With his status, it is very likely that such a request will be accepted.
"Okay." Hai Li reluctantly agreed, then turned sideways and took out a stack of documents from the handbag she brought, spread them out in front of Ling Cen and said in a low voice, "These are our brand owners. We have compared the endorsements we have on hand...all of them are acceptable, and I have checked them privately, and there are no black spots."
After they accept a certain type of endorsement, they can no longer accept invitations from other similar brands before the contract expires, nor can they use other brands' products in public.
"Yes." Ling Cen went through the invitations, and handed a few out to Hai Li, who accepted them with a smile.
"Following Brother Ling, I have meat to eat." Hai Li couldn't help laughing. Before Ling Cen left work, he had three endorsements that hadn't expired...plus these five, a total of eight first-line endorsements of various types...and movies Haili's small calculations are ringing loudly for the salary income.
At this rate, when she and Karl get married, they can buy a villa in Emperor Star...the one with a private house and a garden, and then let Karl go home to take care of the family. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Seeing her wandering off, Ling Cen guessed that it might have something to do with Karl, and said with a smile, "Go find Karl later and ask him to take you out for dinner. I remember he's in the Lu residence...I'll give him a vacation."
Hai Li's cheeks were slightly red, and she answered vaguely. She suddenly remembered something, slapped her forehead and said, "By the way, Brother Ling, we still have an invitation for a talk show..."
"Talk show?" Ling Cen repeated in confusion. He had never been approached by any talk show before, because although he was a topical character, he seldom appeared in a positive image, and every time it was good or bad... Scandals were everywhere Considering his troublesome image, talk shows generally do not invite him.
The most embarrassing thing was that once, a media swore that he had a relationship with the Patriarch of a certain Emperor Star family... a third party, and later he saw the other party when he went out with Mrs. Lu...
"Yeah, it's "Listening." Hai Li gave a detailed introduction and said in a deep voice. This should be regarded as a first-class talk show in the federation. It starts from digging into people's hearts. It is not only sensational but also a kind of tender painting. wind.
There are a large number of middle-aged and elderly fans in the federation. They bring their own traffic. If they are on this show, their own fans will also come, which is very effective in gathering fans.
Hai Li didn't explain too much.
Ling Cen flipped through two pages of detailed introductions, understood what Hai Li meant and nodded in response: "Yes, I'll join. Have you made sure there is a script?"
Hai Li nodded affirmatively.
The two quickly dealt with the work for the next six months. Hai Li smiled and asked, "Brother Ling, have you set a specific time for our comeback?" She needs to coordinate with various brands and film crews in advance.
"Let's wait until Little Stone's full moon." Ling Cen calculated, and felt that when Little Rose was full moon, his figure and complexion should be almost back to normal, so he set a time for his comeback.
Hai Li nodded, and left with the script and invitation that the two of them had discussed and decided on, planning to arrange the time after going back.
Ling Cen stretched his waist and lazily stretched his body... There are advantages and disadvantages to opening a studio by himself. The advantage is that he no longer needs to be restricted by anyone, and he has his husband as his backing.
With the Lu family here, he can basically walk sideways in the entertainment industry, and no one will come to mess with him. The disadvantage is that he needs to discuss many things with Hai Li, and the agent cannot make decisions for him, but needs him to make decisions for the agent after weighing the pros and cons...
"You are here..." Ling Cen finished softly, sitting on an armchair, I heard a sound behind him, and then felt a generous and strong embrace approaching behind him, and without looking back, he leaned back his neck and leaned In the arms of the other party, he asked softly, "Is he asleep?"
"Sleeping." Lu Xiao replied in a low voice. He came up to look for Ling Cen when he saw Hai Li leave and leave. Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about when you will come back?"
"Yeah." Ling Cen nodded slightly, got up from the armchair, turned around and spun into his lover's arms, sat sideways on his lap, wrapped his arms around Lu Xiao's neck and said in a low voice, "Soon... I may wait until Little Rose is full moon." It's going to be a bit busy, but I've discussed it with Hailey...will be back with you every week."
Lu Xiao responded in a low voice, rather reluctant to hug Ling Cen's waist. During this time, Ling Cen's figure has gradually recovered every day, and now his waist is as slender as before.
Muscles have memory. Ling Cen was in excellent shape before, but his body changed because of pregnancy and hormones. Now carrying him to the gym, the muscles came back to him at a faster rate than a normal Omega that never worked out.
Ling Cen gently leaned over and sucked lightly on Lu Xiao's Adam's apple... Lu Xiao's breathing changed slightly, Ling Cen took the initiative to kiss his lover, his eyes were slightly closed, and he found his lips, slowly poking in, licking the other's jaw, Lu Xiao Unable to bear it, he pressed the back of his head and pressed Ling Cen to himself.
Ling Cen meekly let go of his strength and let him pick. The two exchanged a sweet kiss.
"I really am!" Lu Xiao was eager to develop a relationship with Ling Cen, but suddenly remembered the doctor's order, and his mother's obscenity... He was very annoyed.
Ling Cen laughed out loud from the side, for some reason, Lu Xiao's expression of resentment fell on his eyes very interesting, he admired it for a moment before leaning over to comfort him in a low voice: "Wait a little longer...Little Rose is going to be full moon soon. "Then they can lift the ban.
He is a male Omega. It will take some time for postpartum hormone levels to gradually return to the normal value...about a month or so...if there is too much intimacy before that, it may cause pheromone disorders and some mental depression tendencies...
Lu Xiao cared about him the most. He probably knew more about these things about Omega than himself. He would never put him in danger for his own feelings.
Ling Cen smiled and got up from Lu Xiao's wheelchair, not daring to provoke him anymore. Apart from this incident, his cultivation life was very comfortable.
After Old General Lu came back that day, he learned the name of his grandson from Mrs. Lu, and he burst into laughter... Lian Zan is a good name. When there is no war in the frontier and the military headquarters is stable and peaceful, Old General Lu I also took two days off to hold my grandchildren at home.
He, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiao rushed to hug Little Rose, Ling Cen had to sit on the sidelines with nothing to do. Fortunately, Lu Xiao was worried that he would be prone to postpartum depression like some Omegas, so he kept paying attention to his status, chatting with him, Pour tea, pass water, pinch shoulders and beat back... Attentive and enjoyable.
The whole Lu residence was full of joy.
"Come on, Ling Cen, drink chicken soup. I just arrived at the Emperor Star Space Port this morning. I specially asked Walker to deliver it overnight. It has been stewing in the kitchen for a whole day." chicken.
At dinner, Mrs. Lu served the soup herself, and handed it to Ling Cen with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Ling Cen hurriedly took the small soup bowl, looked at the cleared sweet chicken soup and the two goji berries on it, and smiled a little awkwardly. If you drink this bowl, today's fitness training will be in vain. I want to feel more soreness in the muscles I trained...
Old General Lu glanced at the large portion of chicken soup that was placed on the dining table near Ling Cen. The whole chicken in it had been stewed soft and delicious. The index finger moved.
"Why is Ling Cen's food so good?!" Old General Lu said depressed and shocked. He didn't need to taste the dish. He knew it must be good just by looking at the appearance of the dish... Before he got married, he had a lot of dark dishes from his wife. eat…
Not to mention anything else, no matter what is put in the stew, whether it is chicken soup, fish soup, pigeon soup... It is all black from a visual point of view, and there are still unknown black strands floating in it, and the taste is even worse. …makes one want to commit suicide and feel that life has lost its meaning.
As a result, when it came to Ling Cen's place, how did the quality of the stew rise? Old General Lu felt wronged like a 300-pound baby, and couldn't help complaining to his wife in a low voice. He ate so many meals and was still alive entirely because of his excellent physical fitness.
"Dad, you eat!" Ling Cen got up quickly, and brought his exquisite soup bowl to Old General Lu.
Great, problem solved! Today's fitness results were preserved, Ling Cen was secretly glad.
Mrs. Lu quickly picked up the soup bowl, put the chicken soup back in front of Ling Cen and said with a smile, "Drink it, don't bother your dad." It's not he who is still recovering after giving birth and needs to replenish his strength. Can he drink it?
Then she turned her head and said to her partner: "At such an age, grabbing food and drinks with the children... Promise!"
"I..." Old General Lu pointed at himself speechless, he just wanted to ask, since Mrs. Lu knew that she was not good at cooking and asked the kitchen to cook for Ling Cen, why did he eat dark dishes at that time... also Is it bad to make the kitchen?
Old General Lu felt that he was even more aggrieved, eating sullenly like a five-hundred-jin baby.
Ling Cen also drank the soup depressed... feeling the rapid accumulation of calories and fat...
Mrs. Lu smiled with satisfaction and counted with her fingertips: "That's right, you just need to rest, and you don't have to worry about the small stones... Three meals a day, you have to eat fine grains, and then extra meals at noon and night The soup must keep up." Only in this way can the body recover better.
...According to this remedy, let alone his return to the entertainment circle, whether he can pass through the door frame may be a problem... Ling Cen secretly slandered him, but on the surface he complied obediently.
Lu Xiao laughed from the bottom of his heart while eating his dinner, Mom, you are so dear, his beloved belly can probably be kept...
But he couldn't laugh at night.
"Come on, drink the soup." As soon as Ling Cen sent the servant who came up to deliver the soup, he put the tray with a small cup of soup into Lu Xiao's hand, and quickly pushed him to the dining table.
"Look, what about the pigeon soup... Your mother treats you so well, drink it quickly." Ling Cen helped him open the sealed fine porcelain lid, and said quickly, sitting on the side with a smile, ready to watch Lu Xiao drink.
Speaking of which, the chefs in Lu's family are good at cooking Chinese food. Many soups are refreshing and not greasy. Drinking it at night seems to have no side effects other than getting fat. If he doesn't drink it, it's too wasteful.
"...I'll drink it." Lu Xiao sighed, picked up the spoon and drank it. There was no need to argue with Ling Cen that this was specially prepared by his mother for Ling Cen... It seems that Ling Cen has already thought of the soup. Solution.
Two weeks later, Ling Cen's figure gradually returned to the pre-pregnancy level, while Lu Xiao gained seven catties, and his energy was conserved.
