After Lin Yi posted the first update, he thought about it and posted the second one, the wording of which was more direct.
Lin Yi: I don’t hate the concubine system, I just think the existence of this system is ridiculous.
Nowadays, no matter how famous or not, some celebrities may be reported to be arrogant and pretentious in private, but in public, they are more dignified than the other. On the one hand, they have an image to maintain, and on the other hand, the media is not something that ordinary celebrities can easily afford to offend.
Those who hold the power of discourse can not only say that white is black, but can even say that nothing is there. Unless it is necessary, it is better to live in peace.
Lin Yi's direct response can be regarded as a world wonder. Countless fans who rushed to the front line instantly felt that there was someone behind them, and their slightly depressed mood suddenly became high.
The concubine system itself is somewhat vague in legal concepts. If you look closely at every word, you can say that this system itself serves the wealthy and powerful class. Because from the legal text, it clearly defines the physical level of alphas and social classes. Therefore, this system is naturally separated from the middle and lower classes.
The reporter in question did not expect Lin Yi to be so direct and straightforward in responding to her without any leeway. Seeing that the voices of the onlookers were becoming more and more reversed because of this, she suddenly became a little timid and stopped talking.
As a result, the topic shifted from Lin Yi and Qin Nuo themselves to the discussion of the concubine system.
The concubine system itself serves the upper class. If you just look at it superficially, it's fine. But if you look deeper, it's a very sensitive topic. Most of the stars in the entertainment industry are not in a position to answer this question objectively, because many omega stars in the imperial entertainment industry are concubines themselves.
Those who are in the circle either become capital themselves or depend on capital. The former are rare, while the latter have lost most of their choices.
Lin Yi's plain words are bound to not receive many voices of support in the circle, and may instead anger many people.
But among the fan base represented by ordinary people, it was the first time they saw a person with such a great public influence so blatantly express his mockery of the concubine system. They couldn't help but feel that what Lin Yi said was very refreshing to them.
"Ahahaha, 'ridiculous'. I always thought Lin Yi had a good temper. He never paid much attention to the haters. I didn't expect he was such a tough guy. I'm a fan."
"Xiao Yi is so cool! Woohoo, I want to marry her."
"Lin Yi is really an A in O, calling you like crazy."
Although Lin Yi's public denigration was intended to fight against unscrupulous reporters, many people still felt that they were hit by stray bullets. Therefore, soon after, an omega female star with some influence in the circle and known for her sharp tongue came out to make a sharp indirect criticism.
Jin Ge: It is said that it is good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. As soon as I stepped into the shade of the tree, I forgot that my back was still being illuminated by the sun. What is funny? If I were to say, what is funny is that I am destined to be a concubine, but I am still pretending to be a big garlic. Do I really think that a pheasant can turn into a phoenix? Roll your eyes
Jin Ge herself is the principal wife, but her husband is also quite wealthy, so there is no shortage of concubines in the family, and the four concubines have all been filled up early. However, Jin Ge herself loves to show her affection in public and show the harmony between the couple. Many people also regard her as a model of a principal wife.
Birds of a feather flock together. Naturally, the people who commented on Jin Ge’s post were those who agreed with her attitude and many of them mocked Lin Yi.
"I saw that guy's post earlier and it made me laugh out loud. He hasn't even started yet but he's already shaking it up quite a bit. He's not even afraid of blowing it out of proportion."
"I don't believe that the last name Williams is so easy to add that anyone can get involved."
"I don't think he is destined to be a concubine. If he could be a concubine, would he say such a thing?"
In such a heated discussion, Lin Yi's attitude is certainly one aspect, but Qin Nuo's attitude is more concerned.
It wasn't just the onlookers outside who wanted to know Qin Nuo's attitude. Mrs. Williams also learned about the online commotion later that day. She herself was not the principal wife, so she naturally didn't take Lin Yi's words seriously.
When a well-connected reporter asked Mrs. Williams for her opinion on Lin Yi's remarks, Mrs. Williams learned about the incident on the Internet.
After she perfunctorily hung up the call with the reporter, she immediately called Lin Yi.
The moment the call was connected, Mrs. Williams's questioning voice came crashing down on her: "What kind of comments did you make online? Don't you know that your current words and deeds will be linked to Qin Nuo? I knew you were uneducated, but I didn't expect you to be so rude!"
Lin Yi replied to Mrs. Williams with a nonchalant greeting: "Good afternoon, ma'am."
She poked at Mrs. Williams's irritation lightly, as if her anger was like hitting cotton, without any strength. If she heard timidity or fear in Lin Yi's words, it would be fine. The key point was that Lin Yi did not have these emotions at all, and did not take her anger seriously at all.
"With your current status, you should know that you are not qualified to talk about the issue of concubines to outsiders." Mrs. Williams calmed herself down a little and pointed this out to Lin Yi in a serious tone.
Lin Yi was reviewing another snack sample brought by Xiao D. At this time, he picked up a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth to chew for a while. He raised his hand and made a cross to Xiao D, and then said to Mrs. Williams, "Madam, as long as Qin Nuo and I are in a relationship with marriage as the premise, I am qualified to talk about this matter. I don't care how Qin Nuo sees concubines, but from my point of view, there is no room for concubines in my relationship with him. Of course, the choice is in Qin Nuo's hands. If he wants a concubine, I will simply end our relationship."
This is not bold at all, this kind of statement is arrogant.
Mrs. Williams felt that she had a very good position to accuse Lin Yi, "You are so naive. Do you think that even if Qin Nuo compromises now because he likes you, he will not change in the future?"
"Then we can get divorced then. It's so simple." Lin Yi said casually. He ate another piece of jerky and gave Xiao D a thumbs up, trying to do two things at once.
Even though Mrs. Williams felt that Lin Yi was bluffing, she really couldn't refute it, so she had to hang up the phone.
After dinner, she called Qin Nuo to her side.
"You just let him talk nonsense like that on the Internet?" Mrs. Williams pointed at Lin Yi's updates and showed them to Qin Nuo, her face full of displeasure. "Now what he says is not only about himself, it will involve us to some extent."
Qin Nuo leaned back in his seat, rubbing his eyes tiredly. After taking a look at the virtual panel in Mrs. Williams's hand, his emotions did not fluctuate much. "I don't think he is wrong."
"He is wrong in every way! If you want to marry him, he can only be a concubine. Even if you marry him as your principal wife, you will need a few concubines to give birth to heirs for you. How can you allow him to do this?"
"I called him at noon. Do you know what his attitude was?"
"What attitude?" Qin Nuo seemed to be interested and looked up at Mrs. Williams.
Mrs. Williams was infuriated by this detail again. She took a while to organize her words. "He said that as long as he is here, you can forget about having a concubine. If you want a concubine, he will be gone. It's up to you to decide."
Lin Yi's tone was far from this point, but in Mrs. Williams' mind, this was the arrogant effect.
With Qin Nuo's status, no matter what kind of omega said such words, by the imperial standards, he was indeed arrogant and domineering to the point of being like a lion in the east. Mrs. Williams had basically acquiesced to the relationship between Lin Yi and Qin Nuo, thinking that even if Qin Nuo forced to marry Lin Yi, he would still want a concubine.
Therefore, relaying Lin Yi's words would probably make Qin Nuo more or less unhappy.
Qin Nuo thought about the possible expression on Lin Yi's face when he said these words, and felt that it was rare for Lin Yi to show his willfulness in such an arrogant manner. Coupled with the possessiveness in these words, he suddenly laughed.
Not only did he not feel unhappy, but his heart was even sweetened by the Lin Yi he imagined.
Mrs. Williams was angry. Instead of getting Qin Nuo's approval or response, she saw that he suddenly smiled thoughtfully. She was stunned at first, and then became more and more annoyed.
"Could it be that you actually think he is right?"
Qin Nuo then looked at Mrs. Williams, nodded and said, "I do agree with him. The concubine system has neither necessity nor rationality to exist. I don't think I need any concubines."
Once again, the conversation between mother and son ended in an unpleasant atmosphere due to serious differences in opinions.
Qin Nuo walked out of Mrs. Williams's residence and opened his communicator interface. Lin Yi on the other side seemed to have sensed it and sent a message to him.
"Did you get some rest, baby?"
Qin Nuo smiled at the word "baby", and his tired body became refreshed. He called back a video call, and was quickly picked up by Lin Yi on the other side. He lay on the pillow on the sofa, his eyes half closed, as if he was infinitely sleepy. The moment he turned on the camera, he yawned lightly, like a cat about to fall asleep waiting for its owner to touch its head.
Although Lin Yi would definitely not be as obedient as a cat, this still gave Qin Nuo an infinite urge to hug Lin Yi immediately.
"Are you sleepy?" he asked softly, turning towards the tarmac.
Lin Yi looked up at him, as if he knew what Qin Nuo wanted to do, "It depends on the situation. If you come over, I won't be sleepy. If you don't come over, then I will sleep now."
"Then don't be sleepy." Qin Nuo almost jogged, and soon reached the tarmac easily and got on his own aircraft.
The aircraft quickly disappeared into the darkness and headed towards Lin Yi's apartment.
While waiting, Wei Que poked the message box with Lin Yi.
Now Lin Yi’s work email has been completely taken over by Wei Que. He is responsible for screening out useless parts and giving those that Lin Yi might be interested in to Lin Yi for decision.
At this moment, Lin Yi received several invitations to variety shows at once, all of which were love shows. Ever since Qin Nuo and Lin Yi's relationship was made public, the number of invitations to such variety shows has increased exponentially. Some invitations even stated earnestly that as long as the Marshal could be brought along to participate, the reward would be up to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi felt like a tool.
But at this moment he stared at these newly uploaded variety shows, and his eyes lingered on one of them for a while.
After a while, Wei Que sent a message to Lin Yi and asked, "How is it? Do you think it's suitable to be on the show? In fact, I think it would be great if you and Yuan Shuai could really be on a similar variety show now. At least it would probably slap a lot of people in the face."
Wei Que was so excited that his blood circulation accelerated when he mentioned Qin Nuo, but now he has basically calmed down his emotions, and he also experienced a lot of struggle during this period. The most important reason is that he found that Qin Nuo when he was with Lin Yi, except that he felt very oppressive due to his body system, was not much different from what Lin Yi said, "He is very ordinary."
However, this only applies when Lin Yi and Qin Nuo are together. If Wei Que and Qin Nuo are alone in the same room, his scalp will still go numb and he will want to crawl into the ground on the spot.
"There is one that seems really good." Lin Yi said.
Wei Que became excited. This was the first time that Lin Yi spoke up on a variety show. He had never been interested in it before.
"Which one?"
Wei Que re-read the content he had just sent to Lin Yi. One was a variety show about couples having outdoor adventures. He thought that considering the physical conditions of Yuanshuai and Lin Yi, this variety show should be very interesting. The other was a variety show about several couples living together before marriage. The variety show about living together required couples to eat and sleep together, so that after almost every show, one or two couples would get pregnant, so it was also known as a child-giving program.
Wei Que guessed that Lin Yi was interested in the first option, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to say, "I think the cohabitation option is pretty good."
If the ratings of the "Living Together" weren't high, Wei Que wouldn't have pushed it to Lin Yi.
"Are you sure the production team has the ability to force us to sleep together?" Lin Yi typed another message and sent it over.
Wei Que originally thought that Lin Yi was showing some omega shyness, and was about to answer that sleeping in the same bed might be mandatory, when he heard Lin Yi say, "If they have the ability to let Qin Nuo sleep with me, then I am willing to participate in this program."
Where is the moral integrity!
Wei Que wanted to yell at Lin Yi, but at the same time, a bunch of gossip came to his mind, and he couldn't help but secretly ask: "Haven't you slept together yet?"
He had seen Lin Yi and Qin Nuo together. The two of them were almost always close to each other and leaning on each other. Wei Que naturally thought that the two of them had grown up together.
Lin Yi made a sighing expression, "He's like an old antique, insisting on staying after marriage."
Wei Que was immediately excited, "How great! Just when I thought the marshal couldn't be more perfect, he actually gave himself extra points."
What followed was a series of flattery, and Lin Yi simply closed the dialog box.
Lin Yi lay back, closed his eyes and imagined Qin Nuo undressing in his mind, but it didn't help him feel much better. Instead, he became a little irritated.
In Lin Yi's opinion, being able to see and touch but not eat is much more cruel than not being able to see or eat.
Qin Nuo came over, and the two of them couldn't really grow up. They could only hug each other and bite each other for a while, and then suddenly braked as usual, which made Lin Yi furious.
"I really want to eat you alive." Lin Yi gritted his teeth. If he could just tie Qin Nuo up and force him to grow, he would have done it long ago. The problem was that he didn't have the ability to do so.
Qin Nuo panted and stretched out his hand to cover Lin Yi's eyes that were shining brightly at this moment when he was looking at him. He was afraid that if Lin Yi looked at him a few more times, the restraint that he had accumulated with great difficulty would disappear into thin air.
Lin Yi's true colors showed immediately when he couldn't get his mouth to eat. He stopped calling her baby and drove her away impatiently: "Go, go, go, then go back quickly. It doesn't matter whether you come or not."
He held his chin with his hand and turned on an unfinished documentary on the science and education channel, muttering to himself that if you keep calm you will feel cooler.
Qin Nuo leaned over and kissed Lin Yi's cheek several times, then took Lin Yi's hand and squeezed it, saying, "See you tomorrow."
He was about to leave, but Lin Yi stood up and followed him out.
When Qin Nuo walked to the balcony, Lin Yi made a final effort to climb up to Qin Nuo from behind, kissed Qin Nuo's ear with his lips, and blew hot air into Qin Nuo's ear. He said softly: "Marshal..."
Lin Yi's tone was long and clearly meant to act like a spoiled child. Qin Nuo's body almost softened with his voice, and his back felt like it was on fire, but his rationality had not completely disappeared. "We're getting married tomorrow?"
Lin Yi immediately jumped off Qin Nuo: "Good night."
Lin Yi was very annoyed that Qin Nuo was using this trick to force marriage again. After standing on the ground and following the balcony door opening, he had no intention of seeing Qin Nuo off. He thought, out of sight, out of mind, and went back into the house.
This scene was captured by a reporter who had been staking out Qin Nuo since he left the house, and it made the front-page news the next day.
"Lin Yi and the marshal had a brief meeting late at night and seemed to have an argument, and parted unhappily with cold faces?" The two accompanying pictures happened to be the back of Lin Yi's head and Qin Nuo's back at the moment the balcony door opened, and the other was the picture of Qin Nuo getting on the aircraft alone.
