Lin Yi seemed to be shining on the stage, with calmness and confidence revealed in every inch of him.
The already lively melody, coupled with straightforward lyrics, performed with the best voice, was simultaneously transmitted to every corner of the empire through the royal live broadcast at this moment.
When his performance ended, the entire banquet hall was silent, and then suddenly burst into warm applause.
Lin Yi returned to the center of the stage, bowed slightly to the crowd, and then turned and walked off the stage under the spotlight. The spotlight did not disappear as Lin Yi walked off the stage. It turned into light and shadows that flowed freely in the banquet hall and danced happily. The melodious music did not stop, but the lyrics disappeared in the microphone. The stage behind Lin Yi slowly lowered to the level of the hall floor, and Lin Yi stopped in front of Qin Nuo.
In the dim light, Qin Nuo looked up at Lin Yi. Lin Yi smiled and put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand towards Qin Nuo. Then he asked Qin Nuo: "Marshal, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"
The smile on Lin Yi's face was so bright, as if all the stars were falling on it. Qin Nuo's heart, which had been beating wildly just a moment ago, had not yet calmed down. How could he resist such an invitation from Lin Yi at this moment
He reached out and grasped Lin Yi's hand, and when he used force, he accidentally pulled Lin Yi so hard that he staggered half a step and almost fell into Qin Nuo's arms.
"Sorry." Qin Nuo whispered, relaxing his hands a little, but the burning redness on the tips of his ears could not hide his emotions, completely betraying the indifference in his voice.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Yi put his hand on Qin Nuo's shoulder and took the initiative to move the two of them onto the dance floor.
The emperor and the empress were the first couple to enter the venue and lead the dance, followed by others. Under the dim light, Lin Yi and Qin Nuo danced in circles, perhaps in tacit understanding or something, to the side with fewer people.
Lin Yi danced the female steps, but was the leader between the two. Qin Nuo's body seemed a little stiff, and the rhythm was completely led by Lin Yi.
"What did you want to tell me before?" Lin Yi looked up and asked Qin Nuo.
In the dim light, only the spotlights on their heads flashed occasionally. Apart from that, most of the time the facial contours of the two people appeared hazy and soft, just as intoxicating as the atmosphere between them at that moment.
Qin Nuo's gaze should have been on Lin Yi's eyes, but at this moment it involuntarily fell on Lin Yi's lips as he spoke.
Lin Yi's lips are in great shape, evenly thick and look soft. The red color, which contrasts with his fair skin, is particularly hard to ignore.
Qin Nuo was a little absent-minded, and heard Lin Yi's words in a trance. When he came to his senses, he could only ask him apologetically: "Sorry, what did you say just now?"
Lin Yi lowered his head and chuckled, then turned around with Qin Nuo in the middle of the dance floor. He left Qin Nuo's arms and happened to pass by the Emperor and the Empress.
In an instant, Lin Yi and the Queen switched positions and naturally continued the dance they had just performed.
Out of etiquette, Qin Nuo placed her hand on the Queen's waist and danced towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi danced with the emperor without showing any discomfort.
Dancing is a compulsory course in aristocratic social activities. The dance floor was filled with a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere. Although Qin Nuo kept an eye on Lin Yi, he quickly distanced himself from him.
It was unknown what the emperor said to Lin Yi, but they both laughed out loud, and the emperor's hands on Lin Yi's waist seemed to tighten a little.
Qin Nuo frowned and involuntarily moved closer to them.
The Queen noticed Qin Nuo's movements and chuckled and teased him: "Is the Marshal worried that his dance partner will fly away?"
Qin Nuo withdrew his gaze and did not answer, but his anxiety was evident. As Lin Yi and the others approached again, Qin Nuo pushed the queen out without even finishing the dance, and at the same time grabbed Lin Yi's wrist and brought him back.
Lin Yi's dance steps were disrupted by Qin Nuo's actions. He stepped on the instep of another alpha next to him and crashed into Qin Nuo's arms.
Qin Nuo's arm took Lin Yi's arm and bound him in his arms. Compared with his dull and sour mood, Lin Yi's smile never stopped. He apologized to the unfortunate alpha, then turned his head and asked Qin Nuo: "Are you not going to dance anymore?"
"Yeah." Qin Nuo nodded.
He had already noticed in his peripheral vision that several noble girls and their male partners were moving towards him eagerly, and he was afraid that they would exchange dance partners quite a lot in the near future.
Compared to his previous dislike of contact with other omegas, he now dislikes Lin Yi being intimate with other alphas even more. Just now, when Lin Yi was dancing with the Emperor, Qin Nuo almost wanted to throw the Emperor out of the dance floor.
It was not until Lin Yi was brought to the edge of the dance floor and sat down in their seats again that Qin Nuo realized the source of his previous emotions.
He is jealous.
Alphas are full of competition, and if omegas are involved, impulsive fights are not uncommon. But this usually happens between alphas of the same level.
Take Qin Nuo as an example. Because of his physique, no one can really match him, so this kind of aggressiveness, anger and jealousy is something he has never experienced, and he thought he would never experience. But he didn't expect that it would be so simple to mobilize his emotions, just a physical movement and a joke.
All the decorations on the table had been removed and replaced with a twice as rich wine.
Lin Yi raised the glass and took a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he shook the glass and asked Qin Nuo: "Do you know what kind of wine this is?"
“Red wine from the royal family’s private winery.”
Lin Yi nodded, took another sip, and then said, "Then I declare this to be my favorite thing this year."
The quality of the wine was excellent, and it felt like a pleasure just sliding across his tongue. It was indeed worthy of being the royal family's private enjoyment.
"Is this your favorite thing this year?" Qin Nuo asked Lin Yi, and instantly felt like he was outshined by a bottle of wine.
"For now, it's like this. My favorite thing is this wine, and my favorite person is you." Lin Yi smiled brightly, and the change of subject caught Qin Nuo off guard.
Qin Nuo showed a habitual and helpless smile, unable to deny the joy in his heart after hearing these words.
"If you like it, I'll have some sent to your house." Qin Nuo said.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was peaceful at this time, and Lin Yi and Qin Nuo were talking as if no one was around, but the Star Network had already exploded.
From the moment Lin Yi took the stage to perform, the real-time hot topics of Star Network were all focused on him, and the top three hot searches were all contracted by Lin Yi.
#Lin Yi sings and plays#, #Lin Yi dances with the Marshal#, #Lin Yi's appearance#.
As a very retro musical instrument, the piano has a very low popularity rate in the empire, and even many noble children do not know how to use it. According to the official background introduction of the royal family, the piano used tonight is a product of the pure earth era and has been sealed in the Imperial Museum.
It was brought out today to accompany Lin Yi's performance, but I didn't expect Lin Yi to be able to play so skillfully. When he sat in front of the piano and his fingertips jumped on the keys, he naturally exuded a sense of distance brought by the pride and confidence, which made him gather everyone's admiration.
All the doubts and slanders were refuted by Lin Yi himself at this time. No one could doubt his identity anymore, and no one could deny his ability to sing and write.
"Ah, Lin Yi is so good! He is really so good, he has completely transcended the inherent image of omega in my mind. If someone composed a song for me and sang it to me in front of the whole empire to confess his love to me, I would marry him immediately."
"Is Lin Yi really an omega? His aura is simply too high, and I love his looks, so handsome."
"When the Marshal and Lin Yi were together, the halo around them seemed to disappear. And it wasn't that the Marshal was pulled down, but that Lin Yi was already at that height."
"Really! When the Marshal and Lin Yi sit together, they look very human even if they don't talk. They don't look like they were about to ascend to heaven at any moment like before."
Of course, many omegas who were fanatically admiring Qin Nuo were heartbroken, and some sour messages were not uncommon.
"If you ask me, Lin Yi is indeed not an omega. He has no omega manners at all. He is too bold and rude. How can he speak like that and be so proactive?"
Such remarks are not uncommon, but they were quickly met with a wave of criticism and rebuttal.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but I admire omegas like Lin Yi more. Many omegas still have their heads wrapped in foot bindings. Don't come out and embarrass yourself by saying that omegas can't take the initiative."
"Tsk, you're just jealous. Besides, you're being rude. I'm the Marshal's male companion. I can hold the Marshal's hand and dance with him."
“Wow, wow, wow, the key is that I think the Marshal also likes Lin Yi.”
"The case has been solved. So the Marshal's previous words in support of Lin Yi on the Internet were not out of loyalty at all. He was just trying to protect his wife."
Many netizens who were watching the live broadcast in real time couldn't help but admire Lin Yi when they saw the part where he was drinking.
"There is a reason why I can't catch up with the Marshal. Even if the Marshal appeared in front of me, I don't think I would dare to fart. How can I be as resourceful as Lin Yi?"
"Can Lin Yi give me a tutorial? Why can he flirt so naturally and not be annoying? I don't even expect to chase the Marshal. I'll be happy if I can chase my neighbor Ergou."
The dinner party being broadcast live was also coming to an end.
Qin Nuo was invited to speak on stage and explain to the public once again his plans after returning to the capital planet. This session was more like a press conference, because the reporters who were invited by the royal family gathered under the stage at this time, waiting to ask questions to Qin Nuo after he finished speaking.
Qin Nuo's speech was brief, and the long part was the reporters' questions. After answering several questions related to military work, a reporter finally plucked up the courage to ask a commonplace question: "Will the Marshal start to consider marriage?"
This kind of question is almost always asked in interviews with Qin Nuo. However, in the few public interviews that can be found on the Internet, when faced with this question, Qin Nuo always answered with four simple and cold words: "No comment."
Just when everyone was not holding out much hope, Qin Nuo replied. The reply was still very brief, even only one word, but it made everyone excited.
Because Qin Nuo said, "Yes."
After answering the question, he stood up and left from the side, and the royal servants came forward from both sides to block the way of the reporters who were excited by Qin Nuo's answer and wanted to make a big news.
The official live broadcast came to an end here, but before it ended another notice was posted informing the entire capital planet that there would be a full-scale pollution-free artificial rainfall in the next hour, and everyone could go outside to feel the natural raindrops.
Lin Yi was waiting for Qin Nuo in the backstage, so he could hear every word Qin Nuo said during the interview. The wine he drank turned into a slight drunkenness that flowed into his brain, making Lin Yi feel happy.
He felt a little hot again, so he walked out of the backstage early and leaned against the pillar to face the evening breeze. At this time, raindrops flew diagonally from the sky onto Lin Yi's cheeks, gently and coolly.
Lin Yi's head was leaning on the porch pillar, his eyes fixed on the virtual moon in the distant sky. Just as he was lost in thought, he heard footsteps behind him.
"You are here." It was Qin Nuo's voice.
Lin Yi turned around: "I'm waiting for you to take me home."
"Okay." Qin Nuo put on his military cap again, "Let's go."
Lin Yi's aircraft had already flown back home in advance, and the two of them walked towards Qin Nuo's aircraft in front of the parking lot.
On the side of the road, a royal servant came forward to hold an umbrella for the two of them, but Lin Yi and Qin Nuo refused in unison: "No need."
It was raining all over the capital star at this time, as if the scene of the entire song was integrated into the current reality, making every jumping raindrop like a song and a confession.
Compared with the cold high-rise buildings outside, the landscaping and furnishings of the royal inner palace are very elegant. The tall trees and flowers beside the parking lot absorb the sound of raindrops, creating a unique scenery on rainy nights.
It's hard for Lin Yi to be in a bad mood in such an environment.
"What was it that you wanted to tell me but haven't said yet?" Lin Yi walked two steps ahead of Qin Nuo, and suddenly turned around and asked Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo's speed was originally very slow, and now it simply stopped where it was.
There was only Qin Nuo's car on the parking lot, with only the warm light of street lamps around it, and guards standing far away.
"That's not a very important thing." Qin Nuo said.
It really didn't matter. At that time, what he wanted to say to Lin Yi was that maybe he should not be so passive in being pursued by Lin Yi, and maybe he should take the initiative to pursue Lin Yi. But now, this was too euphemistic to Qin Nuo, and what he wanted to ask directly was no longer this.
"In that case," Lin Yi paused under a nearby street lamp. There was a smile in his eyes, revealing some calculation and determination. "I want to ask you a question."
"What?" Qin Nuo's tone unconsciously became softer. The atmosphere at this moment was so good that it seemed to melt him.
"Can I kiss you?" Lin Yi still said bluntly, "I want to try what it feels like to kiss you."
The wonderful feeling that spread in Qin Nuo's heart at this moment made him feel like he was drunk. He suddenly lowered his head and laughed. This smile was relaxed, but it completely announced that Qin Nuo had given up resistance.
He took the initiative to reach out and hold the back of Lin Yi's head, then lowered his head and whispered just before their lips touched: "Okay."
Under the street light, the two hugged and kissed.
The raindrops hit their bodies and faces, but failed to disturb the actions they were immersed in. From light to deep, every touch and test turned into a throbbing wave that washed over the two of them.
When the two finally separated, Lin Yi's head was pressed against Qin Nuo's shoulder. Qin Nuo's fingertips passed through Lin Yi's hair and gently brushed Lin Yi's head twice.
On the other side, Qin Nuo's free hands had already grasped Lin Yi's wrists, and he almost used the same moves to defeat the enemy on Lin Yi.
Because Lin Yi's hands were really dishonest.
"My hands are so sore and painful when you do this." Lin Yi did not struggle, but said this slowly in Qin Nuo's ear, his voice a little lazy.
He licked his lips again where Qin Nuo couldn't see, as if he was still feeling unsatisfied.
Qin Nuo immediately let go of Lin Yi's hand, then picked up one of them and looked at it carefully to make sure he was not injured or anything like that: "Sorry, I didn't notice it just now."
The two of them put some distance between each other again, and then the feeling was completely different from when they just walked out of the banquet hall. A natural intimacy spread between them.
Of course, in this case, some things cannot be covered up.
Lin Yi looked down at Qin Nuo, then looked up again. Qin Nuo followed him and repeated the action, but he was also examining himself.
Of the three genders, alphas are of course the most important, and it is the most difficult for them to hide themselves. Especially for an alpha of Qin Nuo's level, once he shows his true colors, he will definitely be an existence that people cannot ignore.
Therefore, when Qin Nuo found out what Lin Yi was looking at, he felt embarrassed for the first time in his life. He immediately turned around and said to Lin Yi: "I'm very sorry, I was rude."
"That's too unfamiliar," Lin Yi said briskly, not taking it to heart at all. Instead, he said, "Isn't this a normal thing? I don't think you're being rude. I'm very happy."
Lin Yi actually wanted to tell Qin Nuo that it would be just what he wanted for the two of them to grow up tonight. But Qin Nuo, with his personality, would probably refute Lin Yi's idea on the spot.
After all, Lin Yi's hand just slid down Qin Nuo's waist, and he was captured before he could do anything.
Qin Nuo is obviously an old-fashioned person, which is reflected in his words and actions.
Qin Nuo stood with his back to Lin Yi for a while, then turned around. His condition did not improve, and he frowned again and looked down at himself, and said to Lin Yi with a little annoyance: "Sorry, you are next to me, and you may not be able to recover for a while."
Seeing how pleasant these words were, Lin Yi laughed even more, and felt that Qin Nuo was not so bad at saying nice things.
Qin Nuo probably gave up on himself. He reached out and stroked Lin Yi's hair again, feeling the obvious wetness. The presence of the raindrops that kept falling was becoming more and more obvious.
The aircraft next to it slowly opened its door at this time, and Qin Nuo said, "Get on the aircraft first."
Lin Yi got into Qin Nuo's car in a familiar manner. The intelligent computer inside immediately recognized Lin Yi, greeted him with a smile, and removed the excess water from Lin Yi and Qin Nuo's bodies.
"Can I still watch the rain in here?" Lin Yi asked the intelligent brain.
"Of course, if you want."
"I want to see it."
Upon hearing this, the intelligent computer immediately adjusted the mode of the aircraft, turning the entire outer shell of the aircraft into transparent glass, allowing the raindrops hitting the body to be clearly seen from inside.
Qin Nuo walked into the inner room at this time and came out about a minute or two later. When he came out, his physiological functions had finally returned to normal, which made Qin Nuo feel much more at ease.
The sofa in the middle of the aircraft had been unfolded by Lin Yi, and it was about the size of a double bed. Seeing Qin Nuo coming out, Lin Yi reached out and patted the empty seat next to him and said, "Want to watch the rain together?"
The aircraft was flying very slowly, and the raindrops hitting the fuselage were clearly visible. Also reflected in the aircraft were the lights of other aircraft flying up and down on different routes, shining colorfully into the fuselage.
How could Qin Nuo refuse this invitation? He walked over and lay down beside Lin Yi, looking at the sky side by side with him.
"Do you like rain so much?" Qin Nuo asked Lin Yi.
"Yeah, I like it very much." Lin Yi said and turned his head. His shoulders touched Qin Nuo's, and after turning his head, their faces were also very close. Their eyes crossed, and they exchanged a second kiss peacefully.
