“This galaxy diamond ring is so beautiful, does it mean eternal love? Wow, it’s so good.” Tang Bai was dazzled, “Ah, this feather diamond ring is also so beautiful, what does it mean…”
Engagement rings didn’t need to be too formal, so the styles were more flexible, and the prices were affordable to Xie Ruheng, but the wedding rings were different.
The more expensive the wedding ring among aristocrats, the more they showed the importance the husbands attached to their wives, implying that the alpha regarded the omega as the apple of his eye.
Under normal circumstances, Xie Ruheng would definitely not be able to afford a wedding ring whose value was based on planets.
Grandpa Tang had considered this early and set the reward for the Mecha Cup champion to be a piece of magic silver the size of a pigeon egg.
Magic silver was the most fashionable and expensive rare metal today. If such a large piece of magic silver could be used to make a wedding ring, it would be better than any other wedding ring.
“So far, only the Federation can mine magic silver. Although no one can figure out the specific conditions that inspire magic silver, magic silver is very attractive to players.” Tang Bai was afraid that Xie Ruheng would be under too much pressure, so he vowed: “Brother Xie, don’t worry. Regardless of whether you can win the championship or not, we can get engaged. It’s just a matter of time before we get engaged.”
Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai who was focused on him, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
After separating from Tang Bai, Xie Ruheng went to the school’s training room to practice with the new mecha. At first, Xie Ruheng was ready to stand out from the crowd. He thought that in addition to the fat bird specially customized for him by Tang Bai, there were many other mechas in the training room. The mechas piloted by other participating alphas should all be majestic.
This thought led him to push open the training room door where he heard the deafening “Lonely Frog” sound.
Xie Ruheng’s eyelids twitched. He raised his head and saw Gu Tunan wearing a green mecha helmet and sitting expressionlessly on the mecha in the shape of a sad frog. His whole person exuded an aura of lovelessness.
Xie Ruheng: “…?”
Gu Tunan: “Some changes have been made to the appearance.”
Xie Ruheng: “…The changes are great.”
Looking around, among the group of hard-core cute mechas, Xie Ruheng suddenly found an unprecedented sense of superiority while driving the fat bird mecha – the fierce and cute mecha was well suited.
….
Tang Bai went to visit Bai Zhi’s Omega Protection Association. This association was established by Bai Zhi a long time ago and was recently investigating the specific data of AO’s divorce.
“After Mr. Li’s divorce spread on the Internet, a wave of divorces started in the Federation. Guess which age group has the highest divorce rate among AOs?” Bai Zhi asked, pushing up his monocle.
“Elders who are about the same age as Uncle Li.” Tang Bai guessed.
Bai Zhi shook his head and showed Tang Bai the statistical chart. He saw that the age group with the highest divorce rate was the grandparent generation, and most of the people who filed for divorce were omegas.
——”I have always wanted to divorce, but I was worried about being laughed at. So I have endured it for most of my life. I was originally planning to live in the grave like this, but now that Li Songyun child can start a new life through divorce, I also want to give it a try.”
——”My children have all gotten married and starting a business. Now I want to live for myself.”
——”I have been living in a haze for most of my life. In the last few decades, I don’t want to be a fool for others. I want to take good care of myself.”
——”We have never held hands once in this life. This should be what Li Songyun calls cold violence. The old man in my family doesn’t love me. I want someone else to grow old with.”
….
The grandparents in the information had gray hair at this age. They seemed to have nothing to do with love or the future, but the emotions contained in the words they left behind were intense and vivid.
Bai Zhi’s fingers touched the photos and he whispered: “We are witnessing a social change.”
Tang Bai looked up at Bai Zhi blankly. Bai Zhi in the book seemed to have said this, but the person he was speaking to was Xie Ruheng.
Bai Zhi took off his monocle, which was just a decoration. When worn, it would make his beautiful face look more elegant. After taking it off, he seemed to look much younger.
Under Tang Bai’s blank gaze, Bai Zhi suddenly took Tang Bai’s hand mischievously, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to have a look and see what we have done for this world.”
They walked out of the tall and gorgeous building and walked towards the noisy square. On the square was the Sunset Red Blind Date Corner established by the Omega Protection Association. There were many elderly people talking to each other. Tang Bai also saw Admiral Gu reluctantly accompanying his old friends on a blind date.
They walked out of the square and walked to an ordinary residential building. Tang Bai heard Bai Zhi say softly: “Did you know? There is an omega here who suffered domestic violence from his husband. After watching your live broadcast with Mr. Li, he finally made up his mind. After he became determined, his divorce was done successfully with the help of the association.”
Tang Bai got on Bai Zhi’s hover car and drove to a Tang family property: “Your father funded our association to help us create a food processing factory through which we took in many omega employees.”
“It just so happens that the Mecha Cup is being held at this time. Everyone thinks that the highly polluting energy crystal processing plants in the slums need to be rectified. I heard that your father intends to open another factory to the slums.”
The hover car continued to move forward. As soon as Tang Bai opened the door, he saw the sunflower energy gun he designed placed on Bai Zhi’s car. The energy gun was like an ordinary small ornament in the car, with petals spinning automatically.
“By the way, I hope that the school has opened, the roads have been repaired, and the houses are still being built.”
Bai Zhi looked into the distance and saw that the muddy and bumpy road leading to the slums had been repaired and turned into a smooth road, and there were children from the slums running wantonly on the roadside. They were carrying their schoolbags and playing with each other.
The First Star Cluster had stationed people in the slums. The originally chaotic slums had undergone unprecedented improvements. It was said that on the first day of the First Star Cluster’s arrival, anyone who disturbed the order would be arrested on the spot, so all the prisons near the slums were full.
During this time, no one dared to start a conflict in the slums. The streets were full of surveillance cameras, and soldiers and military academy volunteers could be seen everywhere. Even omegas could walk alone on the streets of the slums.
“Tang Bai, thank you for making me understand that the fate of each of us in this world is closely connected.” Bai Zhi said softly.
The fate of each of them was closely connected. The fact that he and Tang Bai dared to drive into the slums was the best proof now.
When one day every corner of the federation had order and stability and tall buildings, and both poor people and omegas could sit in bright classrooms, study and struggle together, discrimination and prejudice would be said to have disappeared.
Bai Zhi was looking forward to the arrival of that day and was imagining the beautiful scene when this actually happened. When he thought about it, he actually felt a little crazy.
Tang Bai also looked at the prosperous slum with the same attitude, his eyes flashing with a trace of trance.
In this world, the fate of each of us is closely connected?
It seems so.
If he had done nothing, the development of the world in the early stages should have been the same as in the novel. Bai Zhi would still be the superior congressman, Li Songyun would continue to be the perfect Mrs. Gu, Lu Lu’s brother would have been tainted by Cheng Wenhui, Jiang Quan would grow up like weeds in the slums…
Countless omegas would continue being carried forward by the torrent of the times. Their voices would not be heard, and their experiences would not be known.
“Tang Bai, you let me see the light of hope.”
Looking at Tang Bai with his green eyes, Bai Zhi smiled slowly: “This change is called for by us, promoted by us, and will eventually be led by us. Welcome the victory.”
A month later, all major sections of Star Network were reporting on the “New Marriage Law” launched with the strong support of Mr. Bai Zhi.
Article 1: The federal government guarantees that omegas will have equal marriage and family rights as alphas and betas.
Article 2: The federal government protects omega’s marital autonomy. It is prohibited to interfere with omega’s freedom of marriage and divorce.
Article 3: The husband and wife should agree in writing that the property acquired during the marriage shall be owned by them both. If the omega assumes more responsibilities for raising children, taking care of the elderly, assisting the spouse in work, etc., he or she has the right to require compensation from the spouse in the event of divorce.
….
Article 24: If the wife voluntarily washes away the lifelong mark due to emotional discord between husband and wife, mediation will be invalidated, and divorce shall be granted immediately.
The faces of three omegas appeared in the weekly magazine that introduced the “New Marriage Law”. From left to right, they were Tang Bai, Li Songyun, and Bai Zhi.
A hand with a complicated ring picked up the weekly, and he slowly opened the first page, which read:
“Tang Bai once said at the mecha manufacturing competition that he met a person who inspired him. To give him the courage to pursue his dreams, Tang Bai also said that he hoped every omega could do what he wanted to do, and at the same time, he did so.
Today, Tang Bai is called the Light of the Omegas by countless people. A Light that brings warmth and courage to many people.
The reason why the term “light of the omegas” appeared may be related to the collective confusion of omegas in this society. Many omegas lived in the fog, and so they could not see the way forward and could not find their way forward. There was no direction to their future.
At this time, there came a person holding a lantern and walking at the forefront to explore the unknown road. He has a bright smile, but he will cry when he falls. You watched him stumble and jump all the way, and it seems that he has nothing to do but still no obstacle could stop him.
And when you look around again, you find more and more people looking at him in the fog. Some people pick up the stars, so more and more people nod to each other. The tacit understanding formed a river of light, following behind him.
Li Songyun was the light chaser in the fog. He bravely took the first step of rebellion and became the first person in the Federation to divorce his husband because of cold violence. As a divorced omega, Li Songyun said something similar to Tang Bai – he hoped that all omegas could live the lives they wanted.
So more omegas took action and made their voices heard.
The law protects the world. Justice is the voice of the general public. Under such circumstances, His Excellency Bai Zhi, who has gone deep into the masses, launched the “New Marriage Law”…”
The picture on the first page showed Tang Bai in a military academy uniform, and after reading the words, his gaze stayed on Tang Bai’s smiling face for a long time.
“Andre, why are you looking at Tang Bai’s photo again?” Chris said with a smile: “Stop looking, we are going to the Federation soon, and you will be able to see the real person soon!”
