There was some hidden meaning in Lin Yi's words, which was understood by everyone involved. As a result, Song Shu and Ye Jin's expressions showed more subtle changes that they could not reveal.
Before returning to the capital star, Qin Nuo had already asked people to investigate what Lin Yi had experienced in the past. Although the investigation was conducted in secret as not to alert the Song family, it was not difficult to find out what Lin Yi had experienced in general.
He took half a step forward, turned sideways and led Lin Yi to a position behind him, forming a natural protective posture. Even if he didn't say anything, the look he gave Song Shu and Ye Jin was enough to make them feel confused.
In the anxious moment, an old royal servant walked out from the inner room. He did not notice anything wrong with the atmosphere here. He just stepped forward and bowed to the few people, saying, "The banquet time is almost up. Please take your seats, sirs."
Ye Jin and Song Shu finally got a chance to relax, and almost immediately turned sideways and made a gesture to Qin Nuo and Lin Yi to let them go first.
Lin Yi's hand was still in Qin Nuo's arm. His mood did not change much, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had not disappeared.
"Then let's go first." He said to Qin Nuo.
The two of them then went inside.
Seeing that the main camera of the live broadcast also followed Lin Yi and Qin Nuo in, Song Shu and Ye Jin at the back each showed a look of relief, but the anxiety in their hearts began to appear.
"Why is he here?" Ye Jin tilted his head and asked Song Shu in a low voice.
How would Song Shu know this, and there was no place to ask anyone else at this time.
Seeing Song Shu showing a panicked look, Ye Jin patted her hand and said, "Don't worry too much. It won't be too late to talk about it after we figure out the situation. In any case, Lin Yi is not capable of doing anything tricky."
Song Shu felt relieved after hearing this. Even if the Song family was inferior to the Williams family, they were still the mother family of the current queen. The Williams family would not go against the Song family just for Lin Yi, who could never marry into their family.
After realizing this, Song Shu calmed down a lot, and she and Ye Jin found their seats and sat down.
Lin Yi and Qin Nuo were sitting at the main table in the main hall. Besides them, the emperor and his wife, as well as two other elders, were sitting at the table. At this time, the emperor and his wife had already taken their seats, but Qin Nuo and Lin Yi were a little late.
But even so, when they approached, the emperor and empress stood up and smiled in welcome.
The emperor didn't know Lin Yi, but when he saw him for the first time, he still showed admiration in his eyes. However, when he saw Lin Yi's hand in Qin Nuo's arm, this look of admiration immediately disappeared.
The Queen recognized Lin Yilai at first sight, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she immediately concealed it so well that it was almost as if it had never appeared.
The people sitting at this table are all respectable people. The nobles are best at maintaining harmonious communication on the surface. Lin Yi was also a man who walked in the world of fame and fortune in his previous life. He was also very good at these things. Therefore, not long after he sat down with Qin Nuo, he started to laugh and chat with the people at the table.
The queen, who originally thought that Lin Yi would be a slightly timid person, or an ordinary commoner who knew little, was also surprised by Lin Yi's ability to talk about any topic and his humorous tone.
She picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. Lin Yi was talking to an elder about what he saw and heard in the primeval forest on the barren planet. Although Qin Nuo did not interrupt, his eyes were always fixed on Lin Yi and never moved away.
The Queen took this in and understood what was happening. When she put down her wine glass and looked towards Song Shu's table, she quickly lowered her eyes and concealed the concern in her expression.
The emperor had a cheerful and easygoing personality, or that was what he looked like on the surface. The empire was not shy about talking about relationships between the sexes, so when he had a chance to talk, he smiled and took the initiative to ask Qin Nuo, "Are the Marshal and Lin Yi dating?"
The other two elders were considered Qin Nuo's elders, and they looked at Qin Nuo expectantly when they heard this.
This left Qin Nuo at a loss for words.
"Not yet," Lin Yi took the initiative to answer, and said generously, "The Marshal and I are just friends now."
"Yeah." Qin Nuo responded, but a sense of loss welled up in his heart, although he knew that this loss was unreasonable.
At this moment, Lin Yi said, "But I am pursuing the Marshal."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people sitting at the same table were inevitably stunned. Qin Nuo not only did not show an offended look on his face, but he seemed to relax and was much more relaxed than before.
The emperor laughed first. He took in Qin Nuo's expression and said to Lin Yi, "So that's how it is. I wish you success then."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Yi raised his glass towards the emperor with a naturally bright smile on his face.
As the main guests took their seats, the dinner officially began soon. The people below enjoyed the meal and the performances on the stage were also wonderful. The performances at the royal dinner were expected to be wonderful and were another highlight of today's live broadcast.
Lin Yi's performance was scheduled to be the finale, so he could still sit with Qin Nuo and have dinner first.
The emperor, empress and elders had already changed their tables to face the performance area. After the table changed its shape, it was no longer a round table, but more like a double table, with a distance of about one meter between each person. If they spoke in low voices and the sound of the performance was heard, they would not be able to hear each other.
However, today not only the performance will be broadcast live, but also the words and conversations of the royal nobles will be broadcast live, so no one will say too many important words on this occasion.
The dinner was simple because when the royal dinner was being arranged, Little D had not yet arrived at the capital planet and the Earth restaurant was not very popular, so the dishes at the royal dinner were very bland.
Two boiled eggs, a plate of vegetable soup, a small cake, and some miscellaneous fried meat sprinkled with salt. They were edible, but none of them could be called delicious.
"Will you eat at the military cafeteria starting tomorrow?" Lin Yi asked Qin Nuo while cutting meat. When he turned his head, he could see Qin Nuo's drooping eyelashes.
"Yes." Qin Nuo said, he looked up at Lin Yi, "Do you want to meet there?"
Lin Yi smiled: "Is it okay?"
"Of course." Qin Nuo said.
At this moment, he was actually still thinking about the conversation between Lin Yi and the emperor. Lin Yi was pursuing him... Although it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything about it, after all, Lin Yi was unprecedentedly straightforward, but Qin Nuo still found it a little difficult to deal with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi made Qin Nuo feel fresh, at a loss, and excited. Sometimes he felt elated, and sometimes he felt very steady. This made Qin Nuo like to stay with Lin Yi and talk more.
But it was this unpredictable pace initiated by Lin Yi that made Qin Nuo reflect on whether he should make some changes. However, Qin Nuo and Lin Yi viewed their relationship completely differently.
Lin Yi believes that the two of them are together completely spontaneously, and they are together when they feel right. The most important thing is to be happy at the moment. It is boring to tie things like marriage into a relationship too early. But from Qin Nuo's perspective, the reason why he has been single until now is not because he really doesn't value marriage or family, but because he values them too much and becomes more cautious.
"About the matter of you pursuing me," Qin Nuo finally spoke again after thinking for a long time, "I think," from the perspective of an actually very old-fashioned alpha, Qin Nuo wanted to tell Lin Yi that maybe he should be the one to do it.
"Wait a moment." Lin Yi wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up and interrupted Qin Nuo. He smiled and said to Qin Nuo, "I'm about to go on stage. If you want to say something, why don't you say it after I get off the stage?"
Qin Nuo opened his lips, nodded to Lin Yi after a moment, and let him go.
At this time, the stage had been completely transformed. There was no trace of the previous performance. There was only a piano in the middle of the empty stage. At the same time, an introduction to the piano was playing in the background before Lin Yi went on stage.
When Lin Yi walked slowly onto the stage in a neat suit, a spotlight in the middle of the stage immediately hit his head. His steps were steady and brisk, and he stopped only when he reached the center of the stage. Then Lin Yi turned around and faced the audience. He glanced at Qin Nuo in particular, then smiled and bowed, then walked to the piano and began to speak.
"As everyone knows, the song "Rain" released online before was a pure musical piece. In fact, I planned to add lyrics to this song when I was composing it, but I wanted to share the feelings of the song with everyone so much that I didn't have time to add lyrics. Today I am adding the complete version of this song."
Lin Yi put his hands on the piano keys and whispered, "As always, this song is dedicated to the person I love. Fortunately, he is here with me right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ethereal notes of the piano jumped out from Lin Yi's fingertips, spreading all over the room, making everyone present feel involuntarily cheerful.
The male voice dialogue is still retained at the beginning of the music, but after the dialogue it is no longer pure music, but lyrics sung by Lin Yi's clear and mellow voice.
It suddenly started raining when you appeared.
I guess that's my luck.
God's creation is never fair.
Otherwise, how could there be someone I like like you...
If the song "Rain" is already excellent, then the lyrics and Lin Yi's singing skills definitely bring the song to another level. As Lin Yi skillfully and briskly taps the keys and sings the beautiful music, no one can doubt that Lin Yi is not the anonymous creator.
For all the spectators, this song was beautiful and moving. For Qin Nuo, it was the final heavy blow to his heart. The entire banquet hall seemed to have been distorted in time and space. Everyone else seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Only Qin Nuo and Lin Yi on the stage were left between heaven and earth. His restraint and rationality collapsed, and he surrendered to Lin Yi with both hands. At the same time, the blood boiling in his veins with every word of Lin Yi's lyrics made Qin Nuo feel the shock and excitement of the first time he went to the battlefield.
Qin Nuo's palms were slightly sweaty. Through the light, his eyes met Lin Yi's. The smile in Lin Yi's eyes was so clear. It was so clear that Qin Nuo felt that his emotions were like a puppet being predicted and controlled by Lin Yi. This should have made him feel uneasy, but he actually felt lucky at this moment. He was lucky that Lin Yi was willing to control him.
