Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Gu Tunan walked into the master bedroom, looking at the thin figure of Mrs. Gu sitting in front of the dresser, gray-blue eyes flashed a trace of memory, how long has it been since he came here? It seems that since he entered the military academy in junior high school, he has been living in the school, rarely going home.
He was the only one in the family who went to a military school, while the older two brothers were both obsessed with academics, and the older brothers went to a school where they could come home from time to time.
Though Gu Tunan spends less and less time with Mrs. Gu after school, he's always respected his little dad in his heart.
Gu Tunan remembers how his father never entertained him when he was tutoring him in his homework, but rather, he would write with him in his ledger.
His little dad is the earliest riser in the family, making different breakfasts for each member of the family, matching the clothes of her husband and children, tutoring her children's homework, practicing yoga to keep in shape, exercising instead of taking care of her skin, not wearing make-up, not dressing up, not wasting money, and being busy with her family every day, thinking about her family and giving her heart and soul.
Gentle and virtuous, independent and self-reliant, hardworking and thrifty, filial to elders, and a good teacher ...... All the good words can be used for his little father, Gu Tunan always wanted to find a wife like his little father, so that his wife can be filial to his little father, so that his little father won't be so hard.
"Come here, will you use skin wax after watching the video?" Mrs. Gu took the material out, his look was now calmer, and he looked up at Gu Tunan with a bit of fatigue in his eyes.
"Will." Gu Tunan said.
He picked up the bottles and jars on the table and looked at them, tearing open a packet of alcohol cotton pads, and when trying to wipe the back of Mrs. Gu's neck, he suddenly looked at a white hair.
Gu Tunan's movements lurched.
"You've always been a quick learner, you'll know it after watching it a few times." Mrs. Gu was silent for a while and said softly, "But why did you only learn the most superficial skills after watching that video?"
"Nanami, I've taught you to reflect when you encounter problems, and all this time I've been reflecting on why I myself taught you to be like this."
"I just assumed at first that you weren't considerate of Sugar, so I wondered if I'd done things for you since I was a little girl, fed, clothed, housed, everything, without ever letting you get in the way, without ever teaching you how to pay it forward."
Gu Tunan holds the skin wax without saying a word.
"I was always focusing on your studies, fostering your independence and bravery, teaching you to be confident and focused, but I realized I was wrong."
"I never taught you how to love, I never taught you how to respect omega, this is something that should have been taught by the people closest to you, for you, what you see is the way your father and I got along, I was his wise counselor, I gave everything I had to him, and all he had to do was to not cheat on his wife, and come home once in a while to check on his children's homework, and he was a good alpha. "
"But actually ah ...... I don't love him."
"Before I married into the Gu family, I also had a free-spirited and uninhibited personality, I also like to dress up, and I used to be an omega like Sugar."
"Just because the Gu family needed a perfect Mrs. Gu, no one has known my name as Li Songyun since then."
Li Songyun covered his eyes, tears dripping down his palms as he said, "How can you bully Sugarplum, whom I love so much, like your father?"

Tang Bai was helping Tang's mother adjust the position of the lightening, Tang's father stood aside and said, "Your mother is so good looking, she doesn't need any lightening."
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Tang's mother smirked, "Did you learn the glandular imitation makeup?"
Don's father, who had carefully studied the faux-makeup video, said confidently, "Learn it, and I'm sure I'll be the most skilled alpha in the series."
"Don't talk so full of words~" Tang's mother picked up the mirror and looked at her own face, then looked at Tang's father's handsome face, and said with a smile on her face, "I don't know if the make-up skill is good, but it's surely one of the most handsome ones...come here, let me give you a hug."
Tang Bai: "?"
Tang Bai watched his dad sit his ass down on the couch, put his big arm around his mom, and the two of them were happily snuggled together before the video even started.
As if he didn't need any more beat-up lights, Tang Bai felt quite bright now, and he took a look at the snowballs crouching at his feet and jerked his dog lonesomely.
I don't know if Don's father is the most handsome alpha in the series, but he did work on his faux-makeup skills and didn't drop the ball during the recording.
Tang Bai stood beside her parents with a video camera, and suddenly heard Tang's mother say, "I feel so happy now, my husband is helping me with my makeup, and my children are helping me record videos."
Tang's mother lifted her face and gave a warm smile to the camera, her eyebrows were picturesque and her smile had the stunning look of a beauty that age never fails.
"In fact, before I watched the glandular faux makeup video that Sugarbutt filmed, the things I thought about most every day were what little cookie baking method would come out the best, when my husband would be able to put down his job and come home to be with me, and how I would battle with my little Sugarbutt baby to get him to go on a blind date."
Tang Bai thinks of the time Tang's mother pretended to be sick and tricked him into going home for a blind date, and it's still funny and infuriating when he thinks back on it.
"I used to hope that my little Sugar baby could marry a good family and that he would be as happy as I am, but this Sugar video has shown me that there are still a lot of unfortunate people in the world, and I want him to be happy, and he wants more people to be happy."
"I'm ashamed to say that as a mother, I was instead taught a lesson by my children... Parents, if your children also made this relay video, please don't be angry yet, they didn't make this video to follow the trend, they didn't expose it, they didn't rebel, they are loving the world in their own way."
Tang's mother looked at Tang Bai, who was holding up the camera, and smiled proudly, "He's so proud of you."
Looking at the stunned Tang Bai, Tang's mother's eyes were sore, she knew that her Sugar had carried a lot of pressure this time, so much pressure that she had to remove her glands, her precious Sugar was just like the unappreciated revolutionaries in history!
As a family member she can't hold Sugar back! Not only is she going to make the relay video herself, but she's going to pull in all of her group of girlfriends! Calling together for Sugarplum!
Tang's mother, who was holding back tears, turned on her optical brain and asked Mrs. Gu, "Have you scheduled your faux makeup video yet?!"
*
"Is the arrangement done?" Director Huang said to the teacher on the other side of the light brain, "Tang Bai's makeup tutorials are very good this time, all of your makeup classes can incorporate Tang Bai's tutorials, so that the students can learn to learn from the exceptional students of our etiquette academy."
"Yes, yellow tea makeup arrangements, glandular wound imitation makeup too, through and through!"
Hanging up the communication, the middle-aged male omega sighed emotionally as he watched the imitation makeup video with over 100 million hits, he had previously talked about Tang Bai as an exceptional student every day, because the alpha Tang Bai found were all quality alpha.
But this time, he was proud of Tang Bai for no other reason than Tang Bai itself.
*
More and more relay videos uploaded to various social media platforms, glandular wound imitation makeup video in a very short period of time, so that all walks of life of the wives of dignitaries with their husbands have to show up, a time of energy, ravaging the military, political, business, scientific and technological, academic community ......
It was only a short day before even the students at the School of Etiquette started recording glandular wound videos.
There are good people to analyze the explosion of the glandular wound video, found that the explosion of this video can not be separated from three points, the first is the beginning of the video of the participants are non-wealthy, simply put, is the pushy, self-traffic.
Newly minted netizen Tang Bai is the debutant, and Tang Bai comes from the Tang family. Tang's mother has mobilized almost half of the celebrity circle to support her son.
The other half of the celebrity circle, which has little to do with Tang's mother, has picked up the slack under Bai Zhi's leadership.
These omega's may not be famous in their own right, but their husbands are big names in all walks of life, and with a bunch of bigwigs all in one place, the eating public will click on the video out of curiosity.
The second is the star network release and the topic itself, the threshold of the network release is low, the dissemination is strong, and omega's glands and glandular scars this kind of topic itself can attract the audience eyeballs, some want to follow the trend of the netizens do not even need to prepare how complete the material, with a red pen to simply draw scars on the neck is also considered to be a success of the relay.
The third is the meaning behind this video, glandular scar faux makeup is not a video without nutrition, it calls attention to the bottom omega rights and interests of the protection, because of this video, the network has been a spontaneous fund-raising activities, relay this video in the entertainment at the same time can do public welfare, there is a better thing than this?
Bai Zhi, who shuts down gossip and analysis posts to guide public opinion, sits in the parliament building and takes a sip of his steaming black tea.
On his desk was a copy of the first bill he had prepared on the subject of "Rectifying the Red Light District".
With his turquoise eyes in a bit of a trance under the dense mist, Bai Zhi remembered his exchange with that Mr. Ling when he saw Tang Bai's video and went to the slums on a whim.
"Mr. White, you're a good legislator who fights for omega rights, but you're too far removed from our lives, and your bill is too idealistic to possibly understand what the red light district means to those of us in it."
"I voluntarily entered the red light district to work because my father was sick at the time and my family needed the money, many omega also had no choice but to enter the red light district in order to make a living, like what you said about being kidnapped and sold into the red light district is a minority. The red light district involves too many people's interests, it's a gray industry, it's better to let the government give us other career options than removing the red light district."
"Actually, I would prefer the government to focus on the resettlement of omega's coming out of the red light district."
"Those omega's are in their fifties and sixties, worse off than their peers because of the removal of their glands, infertile, incapable of working, covered in STD's, and left to live on the streets after being dumped by the red light districts, where they will die silently before too long, and there is no one to even collect their bodies."
"If the government can build a nursing home to house these people exclusively, I think that would be the biggest improvement to the lives of our group at this stage."
Bai Zhi blew gently into the cup of tea, looking at the black tea in the cup, his mind suddenly came back to Tang Bai's live broadcast of the phrase "black tea pretending to be a sensible sister".
In fact, before Tang Bai posted his makeover video, he didn't expect the response to be so good, maybe some people are born with an audience-
Genuine, kind and warm, cute and sunny.
The same noble omega has a warmth that he lacks.
Bai Zhi puts down his teacup, discards the motion lying on the table, and under the light, he begins to write a new motion.
He writes very carefully.

Tang Bai found that his author number was @ed by a reader, and @ed to him was still a report on the results of the preliminary round of the Mech Building Contest!
For a moment Tang Bai thought he had lost his Ma Jia, but when he clicked on it he realized that readers were happily sharing the joy of "fiction coming to life" with him:
Dada, look! Your fan signed up under the name "Jun Tongchen" and made it to the final round! It's so impressive!
Tang Bai: "......"
The results of the preliminary round of the Mecha Building Competition were announced directly on the official website, and it was only because of this reader's reminder that Tang Bai remembered that he had been so busy lately that he had almost forgotten about the competition.
He clicked on the official website and saw a list sorted according to the results of the preliminary rounds, and the pink rabbit mech stepped on the heads of a bunch of mechs, and Cute Cute Cute took the first place in the preliminary rounds.
There were a total of ten judges for the preliminary rounds, from the Ministry of War, the Parliament, the House of Finance, the Federal Military Academy, the Weapons Research Institute, and then five more famous mech builders, in a configuration of three military and political dads and seven professionals.
The results of the preliminary round are the scores of the ten judges, and the mecha simulator will give each contestant's work an intelligent estimate of the score for the netizens.
Tang Bai's design drawings got the highest score in the room, where seven professional mech maker judges gave scores of eight or nine points, the comments are more concerned about the innovation and comprehensive strength of this mech, the professional angle said a bunch of, but netizens can't understand, we prefer to see the comments of the other three judges.
Lo and behold, the three military dads have a different focus.
Because of the high price of the materials Tang Bai chose to make the mech and the use of many fancy but not very practical materials, the chancellor of the exchequer thought the mech was not cost-effective and gave Tang Bai seven points.
A judge from the Ministry of the Army also gave Tang Bai a seven out of ten for its design, which he thought would not be of much practical use in war.
However, there is a history of the rating records, and the netizens found out that in the first version of the rating, this judge only gave Tang Bai six points, noting that the pink color and the rabbit shape tends to attract the attention of the enemy, and that it is a useless design.
Then this military judge received an annotation from Bai Zhi, a council judge, "This contestant used the latest model of memory metal, which can change the appearance of the mechs, and this contestant also prepared the mechs with the appearance of cats, dogs, and other mechs, as well as the appearance of normal mechs."
So the military judges silently changed their scores.
Eater: "!!!"
The netizens found out that Bai Zhi gave "Jun Tongchen" a perfect score of ten, and in the comment, he also praised "Jun Tongchen" for its high level of thinking, thinking that this mecha that can also be operated by omega breaks the traditional stereotypical prejudice of AO. The review also praised "Jun Tongchen" for his high level of thinking, saying that this mech, which can be operated by omega, breaks the traditional stereotypical prejudice of AO.
Bai Zhi gave "Jun Tongchen" the only ten out of ten in the room, which is an undisguised favoritism.
With Bai Zhi's ten points, "Jun Tongchen" has a one-point advantage over second-place finisher "Cheng Yangbin" to top the list.
For a while, there were a lot of questions raised on the internet, and aside from the comments attacking the shape of the mechs, the biggest voices of skepticism were marketing and backdoor.
Here's what one user said:
In Tang Bai's debut video for the recent Glandular Scars parody, Tang Bai mentions "Jun Tongchen", and with the video's 100 million views, Jun Tongchen and the novel This omega is a master mecha builder have gained a surprising amount of popularity.
And Councilman Bai Zhi has always been an O-rights advocate, not only participating in the faux-makeup video relay campaign, but also retweeting and liking the original author's Starnet message for "This omega is a master mecha maker".
Can we assume that the 10 points given by judge Bai Zhi is not because of the mech itself, but because of the ID name of the contestant "Jun Tongchen"?
It is an injustice to the other serious contestants and an insult to the intelligence of us, the viewers, that a regular, well-known mech-building competition known for its authority and fairness should have such a childish scoring!
The starnet message received countless likes, and many of the replies also poured out underneath:
"That what gland imitation makeup video has long been unwatchable, don't market it okay, I go online to be happy, not to understand the suffering of the human world."
"This omega is a master mecha builder is being promoted AO antagonist, it's a banned book, can the site block it?"
"I'm speechless, talking about how hard it is for omega's in the slums, and how we alpha's are having a hard time too, how come no one sympathizes with us and donates money to us?"
......
Soon a # mecha manufacturing competition shady # hot search airborne interstellar entertainment gossip list, in response, the official jury clarified that the jury of the "Jun Tongchen" contestant's mecha formal evaluation, evaluation results fair and impartial, there is no shady, but the message under the replies are mostly disbelief.
The official had no choice but to find Tang Bai's trumpet and ask Tang Bai if he was willing to publicize the evaluation process.
The official staff's attitude is very humble, because the contestant's detailed evaluation of the mech is revealed in advance, it is not good for the final, if "Jun Tongchen" is not willing to cooperate with them, they can not force.
After a while, they received a reply from "Jun Tongchen": "Yes, but I need to appoint a tester."
OFFICIAL STAFFER: "May I ask which assessor you recommend?"
"Xie Ruhang."
