After the initial amazement, netizens’ first reaction was shock.
As soon as the live broadcast footage passed by, netizens' discussion exploded instantly.
"Wait! Did I see Lin Yi just now?"
"Lin Yi?! Why is he there?"
"It's not logical to get into this kind of situation, right? I'm full of questions now."
"Isn't the next one Lord Qin Nuo? What is Lin Yi doing in the waiting area at this time?"
"But Lord Qin Nuo's male companion is a big shot in the music section, and has nothing to do with Lin Yi. Don't worry, it was just a quick glance, maybe we all saw it wrong..."
The main camera of the live broadcast moved away and was now aimed at mid-air. Qin Nuo's car was visibly approaching the venue.
The Williams family crest gleamed in the sun's afterglow, providing just the right distraction.
The aircraft slowly descended from midair. Completely different from Lin Yi's treatment, as soon as Qin Nuo's vehicle landed, two royal servants came out and bowed to make way for Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo was still wearing the same military uniform that he had worn in the morning. He hadn't changed much. After his feet touched the ground, he walked straight to the waiting area without stopping.
As soon as Qin Nuo arrived, the main camera of the live broadcast would naturally be aimed at him, so at this time the camera followed Qin Nuo all the way forward. As the camera moved forward, the person in the waiting area became clearer and clearer, and it was indeed Lin Yi without a doubt.
Ever since Qin Nuo spoke up for Lin Yi last time, rumors have been circulating that the two of them have some intimate relationship. But firstly, no one has made any public statement afterwards, and secondly, netizens do not think that Lin Yi and Qin Nuo are a good match.
Therefore, even at this time, Qin Nuo had already stepped onto the steps of the waiting area, there were still a large number of netizens who were unwilling to believe that Qin Nuo and Lin Yi would attend the banquet together tonight.
"Although I don't know what Lin Yi is doing here now, I believe he has nothing to do with the Marshal!"
"Yeah, how could Lin Yi really know the Marshal... Otherwise, wouldn't he be taking advantage of this popularity?"
When Qin Nuo entered the rest area, stood in the middle and looked at Lin Yi who was still sitting, and took the initiative to ask him: "Have you been sitting here for a while?", netizens expressed very contradictory and complex emotions, both verbally and in the comments.
"Ah, the Marshal's voice is amazing, woooo, woooo, I didn't expect to hear the Marshal speak here. I thought I would have to wait until the speech session at the dinner later. The Marshal actually took the initiative to talk to Lin Yi. He is really polite and well-mannered!"
"I have only heard the Marshal's public speech once in my lifetime, and it was a video recording of a young man. I didn't expect that the Marshal's voice would make me kneel down."
"Putting everything else aside, I'm so jealous right now. I don't know why Lin Yi is here, but he's so lucky now! Being so close to the marshal and even able to talk to him, wuwuwuwu."
Lin Yi shook his head: "Just sat down, is it almost time?"
"Yeah." Qin Nuo nodded.
Lin Yi then stood up, and the side door of the waiting area opened, revealing a red carpet waiting for them to step on.
"Let's go." Lin Yi raised his arm and looked at Qin Nuo, subconsciously letting Qin Nuo hold his arm.
Qin Nuo also raised his hand and met Lin Yi's eyes. They were both stunned by each other's actions, and then they laughed together.
The live broadcast camera is now very close to Lin Yi and Qin Nuo. Netizens who choose the real-life video experience feel as if they are standing next to them and can see their expressions clearly.
Qin Nuo's sudden smile in the camera caught people off guard and almost caused a heart attack. Those who were watching the video slapped the table, those who were lying on the bed slapped the bed, and those who were standing almost fell down.
Of course, this enthusiasm mostly came from the omegas. The alphas and some betas who were also watching the live broadcast paid more attention to Lin Yi.
In other words, even some omegas couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Yi's appearance is really amazing. He is not inferior to Lord Qin Nuo at all."
"He's absolutely amazing. To be fair, our looks are a proven match."
"Did Lin Yi want the Marshal to hold his hand just now? The Marshal seemed to want Lin Yi to hold his hand as well..."
"Wait, now that things have come to this, I just exited the live broadcast and took a look at the guest list. Sir Qin Nuo's male companion has not changed, so I have a bold guess..."
At this moment in the camera, Lin Yi had already lowered his arms and naturally held them in Qin Nuo's arms. The moment their bodies touched, Lin Yi's smile deepened, and Qin Nuo's expression became softer.
Of course, these details have not been captured by netizens yet. They are staring with their eyes wide open because of the physical contact between Lin Yi and Qin Nuo.
They have been monks for more than 40 years, and it seems that all omegas in the world are not human marshals. Today, they directly took action to split netizens in half.
"It's over. My sister can't watch the live broadcast today. She will probably cry to death when she sees this."
The hottest topic on Starnet right now was the live broadcast of the royal banquet. Any movement would be directly pushed to the hot search. In addition to the picture of Qin Nuo and Lin Yi walking hand in hand that shocked netizens, the first thing that flew to the hot search was the simple word #林忆#
Following this trending search is #Is Lin Yi a big shot in the music field? #
Wei Que's team had been preparing for the evening all day, posting on various accounts, mainly promoting Lin Yi's good looks and the material from the previous fight with Song Shu. When Lin Yi was on the hot search again, he immediately posted new content. Because it was a long-written article, it was quickly pushed to the hot search and gained popularity, jumping directly to the top of the list.
"The music boss actually hinted to us many times who he is. Did you notice these details?"
It details that the ID of Lin Yi's anonymous account looks like a string of irregular symbols, but it actually contains Lin Yi's birthday. Lin Yi once said that maybe people would hate him if they knew his true identity. In addition, after the song "Rain" was released, Lin Yi said in a reply that it was the feeling after watching the rain, but ordinary planets do not have this kind of natural weather. When the song was released, Lin Yi happened to be on a deserted planet with this kind of weather phenomenon.
After this wave of analysis, there was another string of extremely delicate words, which confirmed the necessity for Lin Yi, who had been subjected to comprehensive online violence for so long, to release the song anonymously.
When Lin Yi's identity was equated with a big shot in the music industry, the Internet's public opinion indeed turned in Lin Yi's favor.
“Although my whole family is still in shock, Lin Yi’s music is really beautiful. It’s no exaggeration to say that he is a genius composer!”
"In the final analysis, it was all due to public opinion. I remember when Dawn was first released, the online violence against Lin Yi was at its peak. Under such circumstances, he was able to create such a song. I admire him very much."
Netizens are the group that is best at bringing up old issues. At this moment, many people remembered that the second episode of "Where Are We From" directly slapped the result of the first episode, directly replacing Lin Yi on the grounds that after communicating with Lin Yi, he was found not to be good at music theory. Now it seems a bit ironic.
"That's awesome! Where are we from? The official blog comes out to attack us one by one? Everyone in the empire is not good at music theory, but you can't say that Lin Yi is not good at it, right?"
"I see. They didn't communicate with Lin Yi at all. They just replaced him. They said it in a high-sounding way, but they were actually suppressing him. I saw it in the first episode. Many places were targeting Lin Yi."
It would have been fine if only one or two people tagged him, but in an instant tens of thousands of people tagged him, making the official Weibo account, which was still posting clips of the show just a moment ago, unable to log on or off, and no one dared to say a word.
They were the ones who did things unfairly, so they couldn't blame others for it. The key point was that at that time, it was the will of the higher-ups who pressed down on them, and everyone agreed that Lin Yi had to swallow this loss in silence. Who would have thought that Lin Yi was so calm because he had this back-up plan
However, Galaxy Film and Television, the company behind Where We Come From, still feels that the pressure is controllable at this time, because most netizens are still watching the live broadcast at this time and are not really participating in the discussion.
Back to the live broadcast, Lin Yi and Qin Nuo have already walked onto the red carpet.
The door of the royal banquet hall was open, and guards in neat uniforms were on both sides of the road. Before Qin Nuo and Lin Yi entered, the emperor and his wife and several empire elders entered, and Lin Yi and Qin Nuo followed closely behind.
All those who entered or were about to enter the banquet were isolated from the Internet because there were live cameras recording everyone's words and actions at any time. So from the moment they got off the car, basically no one spoke. The whole scene was completely silent, not to mention things like surfing the Internet in front of the camera.
When Lin Yi and Qin Nuo reached the end of the red carpet at the top of the stairs, they stopped and turned to look at the live camera. Qin Nuo didn't have any special expression, but Lin Yi was in a good mood and smiled at the camera.
Lin Yi's smile had not yet ended when he saw Song Shu and Ye Jin and his wife appearing at the starting point of the red carpet, and they were also looking at them.
Lin Yi and Song Shu looked at each other. There was still a smile in his eyes, but Song Shu's eyes widened in an instant, revealing an expression of astonishment and fear that could not be concealed.
Her expression made Lin Yi happy and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Nuo heard Lin Yi's laughter, turned around and followed Lin Yi's gaze, and saw Song Shu who had not yet had time to control her expression.
Qin Nuo's brows knitted up slightly, and he asked Lin Yi: "Since we know each other, why don't you stay and say hello?"
The dinner was about to start. Song Shu and her friends were not qualified to sit at the same table with them, and it was not known whether they would be able to meet them later.
Lin Yi had not originally planned to do so, but after hearing what Qin Nuo said, he thought it was a good idea. The two did not leave immediately, but stepped back half a step, waiting for Song Shu and Ye Jin to come forward.
Song Shu's heart was pounding, she had never expected that Lin Yi would appear in front of her at this time, and he was not at all as down and out as she had imagined. If that wasn't enough, Lin Yi even held Qin Nuo's arm.
What this means is self-evident. As long as Qin Nuo is willing, Lin Yi can make Song Shu a joke in an instant.
Instantly, thousands of possibilities came into Song Shu's mind, and none of them had a good outcome. When she bullied Lin Yi by taking advantage of her power and playing with him like a little ant, she never expected that one day she and Lin Yi would meet with such a gap in status.
The distance on the red carpet was psychologically shortened infinitely. Before Song Shu could fully sort out her emotions, she and Ye Jin had already reached the end of the red carpet.
Ye Jin had been living a dark life and had almost forgotten Lin Yi's appearance. Moreover, Lin Yi's voice and appearance had changed a lot due to the change in his temperament, so he did not recognize who the other person was at first.
So when standing in front of Qin Nuo and Lin Yi, Ye Jin showed a decent smile: "Hello, Marshal."
He turned to Lin Yi and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Lin Yi laughed: "Mr. Ye, I am Lin Yi, have you forgotten?"
Ye Jin looked at Lin Yi with some confusion, then froze, looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, and finally subconsciously looked at Song Shu.
Song Shu maintained her dignity, smiled and said to Lin Yi: "He forgets things quickly, please don't take it to heart if he offends you."
Lin Yi nodded in understanding and sighed: "Fortunately, I don't have a good memory. I remember everything that happened in the past clearly."
