As long as Qin Nuo could remember, he had been given the strictest education, both because of his physique and family background. Such requirements constrained all aspects of his life, and his life path was thus fixed by rigid rules.
Qin Nuo's father was such a noble alpha. He strictly followed ethics and performed his duties faithfully until the last moment of his life, but he could not even save Qin Nuo's biological mother.
Qin Nuo didn't agree with people like his father from the bottom of his heart, so he immediately joined the First Legion after he became an adult. He took part in dangerous wars despite the opposition of his family. In the past ten years, he cleared all obstacles in his way and made himself the unshakable leader of the family.
But in the final analysis, the influence of the family is still profound to Qin Nuo. While he hates many nobles' ways, he cannot deny that he is also old-fashioned and stubborn.
Compared with Qin Nuo, Lin Yi was like two extremes. All his words and deeds were unfamiliar to Qin Nuo, but they attracted Qin Nuo.
At this time, Qin Nuo was lying in the dark sleeping cabin with his eyes open. Lin Yi's words and deeds appeared in his mind. Qin Nuo's lips softened, and he felt like he was floating in a warm cloud, his heart beating briskly.
The current feeling was completely unrelated to pheromones, and made him feel extremely enjoyable. But when he was with Lin Yi, the emotional fluctuations caused by Lin Yi's words and actions were no less than the influence of pheromones.
From a physiological perspective, the stronger the alpha, the stronger its resistance to omega, while the lower alpha can be easily affected by omega and become abnormal. Therefore, Qin Nuo is inevitably affected by pheromones, but due to his special physique, there is no matching data for omega at the same level as him in the empire. When facing ordinary omega, he has full self-control and can remain calm.
The current political situation in the capital planet is not complicated, because the family power behind the emperor and the queen is currently completely unable to compete with the Williams family. In addition, Qin Nuo has unshakable public support, so even if he ascends the throne on the spot after getting off the spaceship, no one can say anything against it.
However, Qin Nuo has no intention of taking the throne for the time being. His return to the capital star will only further control the military of the empire and integrate the second and third legions. Although in this case, it seems unreasonable to say that he is not the emperor. After all, military power is the essence of a country's power. To put it bluntly, an emperor whose military power is hollowed out is just a civil servant.
But there is no fairness in power, just like the emperor knew Qin Nuo's plan, and he could only welcome him back with a smile. As long as the two sides did not tear each other apart and maintained peace on the surface, the emperor and the queen's families would naturally enjoy endless good days.
The next morning.
The light in the room suddenly brightened. Lin Yi covered his head with the quilt, frowned, and muttered something incoherently. A pair of robotic hands stretched out from the side and gently patted Lin Yi on the back, "Master, it's time to get up."
Lin Yi poked his head out from under the quilt, squinted his eyes and looked at Little A beside the bed, then raised his head to look at the time displayed on its head, frowning even more tightly: "It's only half past seven, why are you getting up..."
"Master, don't you want to have a beauty treatment?" Little A asked seriously, and then a series of advertisements for beauty centers popped up, and he gave Lin Yi three beauty packages in a row.
After Little A finished his breathless talk, Lin Yi was so sleepy that he couldn't sleep anymore. He sat up and stretched, then patted Little A's head lightly: "I'm not going."
Little A touched his head and did not insist: "Okay then."
Xiao D outside the house had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Lin Yi. Not surprisingly, Wei Que and the others were already waiting on the sofa for Lin Yi to come out and eat together.
While eating, Wei Que asked Lin Yi excitedly: "How are you going to the banquet this afternoon? Will the marshal come to pick you up?"
"I'm not," Lin Yi was about to say that I'm not a girl, so there's no need for gentlemanly etiquette, but he realized that there was no essential difference between his current gender in the Empire and women on Earth, so he stopped.
"I don't think that's necessary." Lin Yi said.
He really didn't think Qin Nuo needed to come pick him up. In fact, it was out of habit. When Wei Que asked him, Lin Yi still felt that he should pick Qin Nuo up himself. After all, at present, he was clearly pursuing Qin Nuo, and the pursuer would naturally be more proactive.
As soon as he finished speaking, a message reminder came from Lin Yi's personal terminal. It was sent by Qin Nuo.
"I've already gotten off the spaceship. I'll pick you up around 4:30 this afternoon. Give me your address."
In response, Lin Yi looked at the scenes on TV and rejected Qin Nuo without hesitation.
"No need to come pick me up. By the way, can we enter separately then?"
At this moment, the TV screen they were watching was a live broadcast of Qin Nuo's spaceship landing. Qin Nuo walked on the red carpet, raising one arm to check the news.
He was wearing a neat military uniform, with neatly cut lines that clearly outlined his tall figure. His perfect proportions and face half-hidden by his military cap when he lowered his head also made people daydream. Every step Qin Nuo took made a regular sound from his military boots, which made people's ears itch.
The camera was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, and their shouts resounded through the sky from a distance of 1,800 meters. I wonder how exaggerated they sounded to Qin Nuo's ears.
This is still the reaction from a distance. I don’t know how exaggerated it will be when the live broadcast of the royal dinner can be broadcast holographically just before entering the venue.
Lin Yi took a sip of porridge and watched on the screen Qin Nuo stop and raise his hand to wave to the people. Immediately, a cheer that broke the limit rang out from the crowd.
At the same time, Lin Yi received Qin Nuo's reply.
Three simple words: "No."
"Okay," Lin Yi compromised, "but you really don't have to come pick me up. My spaceship has already arrived, and I just want to test its performance."
Lin Yi asked the military to help purchase the spaceship, so naturally he came here today with the officers from the returning capital star.
Just now, Lin Yi’s personal terminal received a message prompt indicating that the spacecraft was on the way and would arrive at his residence around noon.
Qin Nuo didn't say anything more about Lin Yi's idea. After his footsteps disappeared at the end of the red carpet, the craze of the live broadcast faded away.
Of course, the heated discussion on Starnet has just begun, and the protagonist is of course Qin Nuo.
The short few seconds he appeared on screen during the previous live broadcast has been restored through technology and turned into a holographic reality experience version. Anyone can now walk up to Qin Nuo and experience the wonderful feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Marshal.
"Ahh, I'm going to faint!"
"Wow, now I think the Marshal doesn't get married perhaps to take care of the feelings of the people of the empire."
"Alphas like the Marshal can keep themselves clean, but those alphas in the Empire, um, I won't name them, are still messing around every day."
Also praised by netizens was Qin Nuo's male companion at the evening party, the anonymous composer. Although Lin Yi had only released two songs, due to the complete blankness of the empire in this regard, he became the Pangu himself, attracting fans of all ages and genders. The number of fans on the music forum account has reached 1 billion. Counting the time these fans have accumulated, it is already a top-tier configuration.
"There are two surprises for me tonight, hehehe."
"Although I don't want the Marshal to have a male companion, if it's a big shot, I can barely accept it!"
Compared to the boiling emotions outside, Lin Yi can be said to be calm.
At noon, his car was delivered on time. Lin Yi took a test drive and felt good about driving. He flew directly to the First Army Headquarters Training Center in the Capital Star and practiced for two hours. He worked up a sweat before going home.
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when he got home. Little A was so anxious that he was pacing around at the door. As soon as he saw Lin Yi, he asked him, "What's going on? What's going on? Doesn't the owner check the time?"
“What’s that tone?” Lin Yi patted Xiao A’s head again.
Little A covered his head and groaned, but still insisted: "The royal dinner is the glory of the Lin family. Little A must protect it."
Seeing that it looked righteous, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh again: "Go and run me a bath first."
Only then did little A run away happily.
After Lin Yi took a shower, dressed up, and finally changed his clothes to go out, Xiao A wanted to kick him out.
It wasn't until Lin Yi entered the cockpit and closed the spaceship door that he got some peace and quiet.
On the other side, the live broadcast of the royal dinner has begun.
Each member who attends the dinner will receive an invitation letter, which will indicate the arrival time of each person. This time will be controlled very accurately. In order to maintain order, it cannot be too early or too late. To prevent accidents, the time on the invitation letter is usually dynamically adjusted.
Lin Yi's invitation letter was later adjusted to be a pair with Qin Nuo's, so the two had to enter together.
At this time, the spacecraft was in autopilot mode. Lin Yi and Qin Nuo were rushing to the dinner scene from different directions and were talking on the phone.
Lin Yi glanced at the open space ahead and the guards on both sides, and said to Qin Nuo: "I've arrived at the north parking lot."
"I'll be there in about five minutes. Please wait for me in the waiting area." Qin Nuo said.
As he was speaking, Lin Yi's spaceship had passed the first security check and officially entered the range covered by the live camera.
The spacecraft is prohibited from moving forward at this point. People attending the dinner will have a small waiting area here and will not enter the red carpet area until their entry time.
The people in front have started to enter in order, and the next couple is Lin Yi and Qin Nuo, so the waiting area is empty at this moment, with only a few security computers busy running around.
Lin Yi went down to the ground, let the spaceship leave on its own, and then strolled into the waiting area.
The waiting area was a small hill with steps and two soft sofas. Lin Yi walked in and sat down comfortably, lowering his eyes to adjust his cufflinks.
It was almost time for Qin Nuo to appear on stage, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast was very high. The live camera just saw off the first couple of people entering, and now turned to the waiting area, aiming at Lin Yi's face.
Lin Yi has always been very beautiful, and she dressed up carefully today. Most of the people watching the live broadcast have turned on the reality experience. The camera is aimed at Lin Yi, and it seems as if Lin Yi is sitting in front of them in an instant.
As if he noticed the camera was pointing at him, Lin Yi's eyes, which had originally been fixed on the cufflinks, turned to look at the camera as he raised his eyelids. In an instant, his face lit up with a radiant smile, and he looked extremely handsome.
