The vast majority of people did not accept the pairing of Lin Yi and Qin Nuo. This had little to do with Lin Yi himself, but rather that as the strongest alpha in the empire, people were used to looking up to Qin Nuo and believed that no one could match him.
Someone gave everyone a shot of adrenaline in a prominent location at the Imperial Forum.
"Let me tell you why Lin Yi and Yuan Shuai can't get married"
"Lin Yi has been confirmed to be infertile, and the Marshal has the most valuable genes in the entire empire, no doubt about it. Do you really think that the Williams family, or the Marshal himself, would be willing to marry Lin Yi?"
This is indeed the current situation in the empire, or the consensus of the empire. Because only when an omega and an alpha combine can they give birth to a strong alpha, while a beta and an alpha will either give birth to an alpha with an average physique or a beta with an average physique. Therefore, the empire is very accustomed to using this to measure the value of an omega.
Williams' old house.
Qin Nuo came down from the second floor and saw the servant who had been waiting at the corner of the stairs. "Sir, the lady is waiting for you."
Qin Nuo had expected this, so he didn't even raise his eyelids, "I know."
The lady mentioned by the servant is Qin Nuo's biological mother, and now she is also a person with great say in the Williams family. But in fact, she is not the principal wife of Qin Nuo's father, and she has such a status now because of Qin Nuo.
Since Qin Nuo was born, her status has been greatly improved, because Qin Nuo's mother is a beneficiary and defender of the old order of the empire.
She did not attend yesterday's royal dinner, and only later learned about Lin Yi from the live broadcast replay. She called Qin Nuo over to talk to him about Lin Yi.
Passing through the halls and corridors, Qin Nuo saw no one else except a few cold intelligent computers. After Qin Nuo's father passed away, she was the only one living in the main house under her current arrangement. Qin Nuo's father's original wife and several concubines were arranged to move to other places.
Qin Nuo was relatively indulgent towards his mother.
"I see you get along well with that kid." Qin Nuo's mother was a woman with gentle features, but in fact her personality was not very good. She only showed kindness and affection when facing Qin Nuo. "But I asked someone to check and found out that he doesn't seem to be very polite. Do you have a deep relationship with him?"
When Qin Nuo thought of Lin Yi, his mind flashed back to the time when they kissed through the rain last night. He felt as if he was floating in the clouds. His expression was very gentle at this moment. "He has done nothing unethical. I know him very well. We just started dating. Please don't disturb his life."
"Of course I won't." Qin Nuo's mother said.
This had nothing to do with her listening to Qin Nuo, it was purely because she didn't think Lin Yi was worth her facing in person.
"It doesn't matter whether it's in-depth or not," she added, "but you just have to know that this kind of people are chasing fame and fortune, sleeping with this person today and that person tomorrow..."
Before his mother finished speaking, Qin Nuo interrupted her unhappily: "You know nothing about him, and it is too rude to make such comments. I don't want to hear such words again in the future, and you'd better not investigate him anymore. If you came to me just to tell me this, then we have nothing to say."
"Okay, okay." Qin Nuo's mother gave in. "I was wrong. You should stay here with me for a while."
Even though Qin Nuo obviously cared about Lin Yi, she still didn't take him seriously. The fact that Lin Yi couldn't have children was already a sign that he couldn't enter the Williams family, so there was no need for her to worry about it.
"I have official business to attend to, so I have to leave first." Qin Nuo did not bother with his mother and left.
Although Qin Nuo's mother was upset, she did not force him to stay.
Just as the netizens thought. Qin Nuo's favor towards Lin Yi was completely Lin Yi's luck, and Lin Yi himself was not a match for Qin Nuo. In the future, there would always be an omega with excellent physique and superior family background to pair with Qin Nuo.
This kind of rhetoric, or rather, this kind of restraint that has been around Qin Nuo since he was a child, has been with him for too long. The entire empire is full of expectations for him, and no one cares about his desires. After a long time, many times even Qin Nuo almost forgot that he could make choices, until Lin Yi appeared.
Lin Yi did not meet the expectations of any of the imperial people or Qin Nuo himself about his spouse, but she was the only special case that Qin Nuo could not avert his eyes from.
Not long after Qin Nuo left, his mother soon received another visitor request.
"It's Miss Song Shu from the Song family." The intelligent computer told her.
The relationship between the Song family and the Williams family was neither good nor bad. Although they were not close, the nobles maintained good communication. Qin Nuo's mother had a good impression of Song Shu, so she asked the intelligent brain to welcome her in.
Song Shu was restless the whole night after she returned home last night. Before leaving the palace, she wanted to see the queen, but the queen refused because it was too late. After thinking about it, Song Shu still felt that she should visit Qin Nuo's mother, so that the situation might still be salvaged.
She now felt a little regretful, but at the same time she was somewhat glad that she had deprived Lin Yi of his fertility. She regretted that if she had not done so, she and Lin Yi would not have such a big grudge at this time. She was glad that it was because of this that Lin Yi could not really enter the core of the Williams family, and there would be no time when she would be in danger.
Song Shu and Qin Nuo have been talking for about an hour. She tried her best to describe Lin Yi as someone who had crossed her bottom line in order to get promoted, and that she had to deal with Lin Yi in order to protect her family, and that it was an act of helplessness.
This was not much different from what Qin Nuo's mother had found out herself. She listened to it with a smile, and at critical moments she even agreed with Song Shu's words, which made Song Shu feel a lot more at ease.
After Song Shu left, Qin Nuo's mother showed an expression of disgust.
"The daughters of the Song family are really some are stupid and some are smart. Fortunately, this one didn't become the queen, otherwise the empire would have been ruined by her stupidity."
Qin Nuo's mother looked down on the way Song Shu dealt with Lin Yi, and she thought it was stupid for Song Shu to come to her and say these things.
"Maybe she wants you to stand on her side and deal with Lin Yi." The intelligent computer that was familiar with Qin Nuo's mother responded at the right time.
"She wants to use me as a gun, but she doesn't even consider her own weight." Qin Nuo's mother sneered.
Even if she didn't like Lin Yi and denied Lin Yi's qualifications to be her daughter-in-law, it didn't mean that the Song family could do it that way. At the very least, Lin Yi was Qin Nuo's confirmed dating partner. For this reason alone, Lin Yi was much more important to Qin Nuo's mother than Song Shu.
Song Shu went home peacefully, but she didn't know that she had caused trouble for herself.
Regardless of the comments on the Internet or Qin Nuo's mother's thoughts, Lin Yi did not take them seriously and took them to heart.
The considerations of netizens or Qin Nuo's mother were out of reach for him. He did not regard marrying Qin Nuo or entering the Williams family as his life goal.
Lin Yi's goal in life is to live happily and to the fullest, and Qin Nuo is just a dating partner that he thinks is suitable and that he likes at the moment.
Of course, such thoughts were indeed only held by Lin Yi. When Lin Yi left home and arrived at the military training ground on the capital planet, he ran into Song Qinsong inside, and the other party almost stuttered and could not speak.
In Song Qinsong's eyes, Lin Yi is now Qin Nuo's boyfriend.
"You really hid it too much. Our relationship is pretty good, but you didn't tell me in advance that you and the Marshal were together." Song Qinsong said.
"The Marshal and I are not officially together yet." Lin Yi said.
Song Qinsong sniffed, "You smell like the marshal's pheromones, and you're not together yet? The marshal is not such an irresponsible person." He looked suspicious.
“Am I an irresponsible person?”
"You're not?" Song Qinsong pointed out Lin Yi's scumbag nature in a rude manner.
Lin Yi raised his hand and didn't want to argue with Song Qinsong: "Okay, I am."
Song Qinsong looked at him with an expression that he thought Lin Yi had taken advantage of him, but then he sighed to Lin Yi, "But if you say you can hide it, you really can. You wrote those two songs and you didn't say a word."
"Is it well written?" Lin Yi asked him.
"It's very well written." Song Qinsong's expression instantly turned into that of a fanboy. If it weren't for Qin Nuo, he would have stepped forward and given Lin Yi a hug.
"That's why I didn't tell you," Lin Yi smiled, "otherwise it would seem like I'm showing off."
Song Qinsong gave Lin Yi a thumbs up speechlessly.
Taking advantage of Lin Yi’s high popularity on the Internet, "Into the Badlands" finally released the final trailer.
Official Weibo of the movie Wasteland: Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, Wasteland will be released simultaneously throughout the empire~ Li Xingzhou, Chen Qiaoxu, Lin Yi, please stay tuned~
The final trailer directly used "Dawn" as the background music, followed by a very compact and skillful editing, which thoroughly captured the grandeur and realism of the entire scene, as well as the actors' appearance.
Although the popularity of the leading male and second male actors was high, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the current discussion about Lin Yi.
Although the conversion rate of Lin Yi's music fans is high, it does not mean that his black fans are less. In fact, because of Qin Nuo, netizens with a sour grape mentality will only be more harsh on Lin Yi, and there are a lot of deliberately derogatory words.
"I've seen Lin Yi's previous tea commercial. Apart from his good looks, his acting was disastrous. He can't be considered a qualified actor at all. It hasn't been long since then, and I don't believe his acting skills have changed."
"He is undoubtedly just another vase-type actor. His character has not been cleaned up so far. Alas, a simple marshal."
"She's not good-looking! She just happened to have a bunch of flawed facial features put together to look good. To be honest, it's good for someone like Lin Yi to be infertile, otherwise the children she gives birth to will definitely be full of genetic defects and ugly."
Even with such comments, the official blog of "Into the Badlands" did not control them, because even negative discussion is still a part of the popularity, which is very beneficial to the movie itself. And it is common for celebrities to experience some negative denigration.
Lin Yi’s fans certainly couldn’t stand such comments, and the two sides immediately started arguing.
"Your mother was able to give birth to you, but who knew she would give birth to something like you? It's disgusting to attack someone by saying she can't have children."
"I'd rather marry Lin Yi than you wretches in my dreams."
StarNet has been very excited about this.
By noon that day, Wei Que had basically finished the interview and writing. Combined with the popularity of the official announcement of "The Wasteland", he directly sent the article to the top ten hot searches.
#The crew of "The Wasteland" mysteriously disappeared#
It is said that Wei Que is good at this, and he has made full use of the text description. In less than 500 words, he uses Archie's mother's narration to describe Archie as a person and his possible experiences.
And because it was told from the mother's perspective, the incident was extremely sensational, which aroused the sympathy of netizens. However, because Wei Que knew the cause and effect of the incident, he left himself a lot of room, and raised a lot of his own doubts on the premise of deliberate exaggeration. In the end, he also tagged the official account of "Into the Wasteland", hoping that they would give an explanation.
So the editor of the official Weibo account of "Into the Badlands", who was secretly delighted by the discussion brought about by Lin Yi, was immediately embarrassed when faced with questions from many netizens who came to ask after reading the article.
He could only pick out a few popular comments to reply: "I'm not very clear about this matter, please don't spread rumors."
The editor is not really clear about this. Even many of the crew members who went to the deserted planet together did not know that Archie had not yet returned to the capital planet. When they left, Archie had not been discharged from the hospital, so many people thought it was normal that Archie did not come back with them.
Of course, such a reply from the editor could not satisfy netizens, because David quickly sent a direct interview video of Archie's mother during lunch time, which was full of Archie's mother's personal statement.
In the video, Archie's mother pleaded while crying, and described Archie as a positive, kind-hearted and promising young man, but his disappearance has made his family unable to sleep or eat.
After watching this video, many netizens felt sad and at the same time, they had a strong sense of responsibility. They left messages on the official Weibo of "Into the Badlands" calling for a boycott of the movie, which directly scared the editor of the official Weibo.
By the time director Fred learned the news, the matter had already become very popular, and many netizens had questioned him under his personal account, so Fred had to come out and respond to the matter.
Fred: Archie was indeed one of the crew members who went to the deserted planet to shoot. However, before we left, he was involved in a military investigation, so he stayed on the deserted planet temporarily. I don’t have the authority to know about the follow-up investigation. But I believe that the military will guarantee Archie’s safety and rights.
After receiving such a response, netizens immediately flocked to the official account of the First Legion’s Capital Star. Lin Yi, Li Xingzhou, Chen Qiaoxu and Song Qinsong were also there. Basically, no place that netizens could think of was not invaded.
Only the newly added comments under Qin Nuo's personal account were still all "Marshal, I'm good" and so on. There were a few who said something, but they were immediately beaten back by Qin Nuo's fans.
"How could the Marshal know such a thing? Are you crazy to bother the Marshal with this?"
"That's what I'm saying, don't come here and make ky comments, thank you!"
Lin Yi sat at one side of the dining table, staring at Qin Nuo's face thoughtfully, thinking that the crazy energy of Qin Nuo's fans was really admirable. Qin Nuo was simply worshiped as a god.
Qin Nuo noticed Lin Yi's gaze, smiled and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I wonder if your fans want to eat me alive now." Lin Yi said and took another sip of chicken soup.
"Don't take what those people say to heart." Qin Nuo became a little concerned, fearing that Lin Yi would be affected by the extreme remarks made by fans on the Internet.
Lin Yi smiled at him: "Of course, now I only keep you in my heart."
Little D, who came in with the dishes, heard this conversation and recorded it silently in his head. He looked up at Lin Yi again and felt that it was worthy of an adult's mouth, and the words coming out of it were particularly powerful.
Qin Nuo really fell for Lin Yi's trick. Although he felt a little embarrassed at the moment, the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
After delivering the food, Xiao D did not leave immediately, but stood there and asked Lin Yi and Qin Nuo: "Sir, Marshal, are you in a relationship now?"
This is the result of its database analyzing the current situation.
Lin Yi supported his chin: "Hmm..." He was ambiguous and did not explain directly, but Qin Nuo immediately gave Xiao D a positive answer.
"Yes, we are in love."
Lin Yi then laughed and reached out to stroke Xiao D's head.
Little D also became happy, and rolled out slowly humming a song.
The two of them finished lunch together and then separated in the restaurant. Of course, before Qin Nuo left, Lin Yi pressed him down and kissed him again, which was justified and there was no reason for him not to take advantage of him.
After the royal dinner, not only interview requests came flying in like snowflakes, but also invitations to various variety shows, TV shows and movies. In this morning alone, Lin Yi’s mailbox was filled up.
Among them was an invitation to "Where We Come From".
The second episode of music-related content has not started filming yet, and the official live broadcast time is the day after tomorrow. Since last night, the official Weibo of "Where Are We From" has also been the target of severe criticism.
Of course, this is their own fault. After all, they violated the rules and broke the contract, and even made sarcastic remarks online. It would be strange if they were not ridiculed by netizens.
Xi Qingyu also received a notice from the program team, which meant that if Lin Yi agreed to be on the second episode, then he would not be able to be on the show. This made him anxious.
Not only did they send a private invitation to Lin Yi, the official Weibo account of Where Are We From also enthusiastically tagged Lin Yi early in the morning, first apologizing and then extending an olive branch. However, Lin Yi has not responded yet.
After finishing lunch with Qin Nuo, Lin Yi finally found some time to log into his personal account. Ignoring the tons of comments from netizens, Lin Yi directly forwarded the updates from our various program crews.
Lin Yi: Thank you for the invitation. I have other arrangements for that day.
This reply made the director of the second episode of "Where Are We From" feel a little embarrassed but also a little relieved. He had originally prepared for Lin Yi's sarcastic response, but he didn't expect Lin Yi's reply to be so polite.
Lin Yi has no desire to start a war of words with others on the Internet. He is not a Buddhist. He is just more accustomed to handling things in a straightforward manner.
For example, the reply he just gave us about where he was from in the program team was genuine, and he did have other plans for that day.
The show "Where Are We From" is a live show, and the ratings of the live show determine the success or failure. With the first episode already being extremely popular and discussed, the director of the second episode was under a lot of pressure. He made a lot of preparations for this episode, and he didn't expect to surpass the first episode, but he had to catch up at least. He replaced Lin Yi in the beginning because of some sponsorship support from Song Shu.
In addition, considering that Lin Yi himself is of no use to the program, and also thinking that Lin Yi really has no possibility of turning things around, there is nothing wrong in using him in the end to create some hype for the program itself.
The result was that Lin Yi unexpectedly got up again. Not only did he get up, he also gave the program crew a big slap in the face under an anonymous identity.
However, what Yuanyuan, the director of the second episode, had not expected was that on the day the show was broadcast, there would be an even bigger and louder slap in the face waiting for him.
