[Bai Zhi

" Mr. Bai Zhi, are you planning to get married this year?"

Bai Zhi's throat was a little dry after a great speech and he was sitting on a chair backstage with a thermos of water ready to drink when he heard the question from the interviewer.

The reporter replied, "To have a family. Don't you have a sense of urgency now that Tang Bai, who is younger than you, has a family?"

"Of course not. I'm just happy for him, happy that he's got a good marriage. There is a lot of good love in the world, but that has nothing to do with my choice to be single. It's nice to have a good family, but there's more to happiness than marriage, and marriage is never a necessity."

The corners of Bai Zhi's eyes wrinkle slightly with laughter, and behind the lenses his green eyes are as serene as a forest spring.

"omega has the ability to think independently, the talent, the dreams and the soul, our values are never limited to being married, we can also work, our bodies and souls are our own, and the marriage only makes sense if we really want to be married."

"And I want to marry the cause."

In July 233, Tang Bai investigated the working conditions of omega people and raised the issues of unequal employment opportunities for omega people and different pay for the same work for ABOs, promoting the development of labour and social security rights for omega people.

[Li Songyun].

"Hello, Mr. Lai!"

"Good morning, Mr. Lai."

"Good morning, Mr. Lai."

"Where is Mr. Lai going?"

Li Songyun smiled at the colleagues and students who greeted her, "I'm going on a home visit."

"Although there are patrols patrolling, it is a slum after all, it is not safe for you to walk around alone, Mr Lai." Someone kindly advised, "If it's not a big deal, you shouldn't go."

"It's very important." Li Songyun said in a gentle but undeniable tone, "One of the children has dropped out of school and I want her back."

Li Songyun, who works as a liturgy teacher and language teacher at this school, taking the lower grades for language and teaching the whole year for liturgy, went to one of the upper classes today and noticed that one of the omega students in the class had disappeared.

The omega kid was tall, always with his head down and hunched over, seemingly trying to shrink himself into a ball to reduce his presence.

When Li Songyun asked the students to hold their chests up in class, the child could only straighten her back for a short while even when she tried to do so, and by the end of the lesson she was wilting again.

It was only when Li Songyun spoke in class about the future, about the outside world, that the child's timid gaze was refreshed, and Li Songyun was delighted that the new world he described gave the child some hope.

He hopes that these children will come out of this small world and have a future of their own.

Those children's futures do not have to be outstanding; the ordinary lives of ordinary people are the envy of these slum dwellers.

Li Songyun came to the front of the newly built residential building and knocked on the door according to the address given by the student. He was greeted by an old man with a hunched back and cloudy eyes staring at him warily, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, my name is Li Songyun and I am ......"

"Teacher Lai!" His student exclaimed, rushing up and saying, "What brings you here?"

"Grandma, this is the teacher from our school ......" Before the student was even introduced grandma rushed to close the door, getting angry as she did so, "What's the teacher doing here? Our Ning Ning doesn't go to school! There's no money!"

Li Songyun was quick to stop the door and said softly, "Old man, don't close the door yet, I was going to ask why Funing didn't come to school."

"She's going to get married! Marry someone! Do you understand?!" Grandmother pulled the door hard, but the soft-looking teacher Li was stubborn with her and put her body against the door and said seriously, "Why does Ning Ning want to get married if she doesn't study at her age?"

"Gee you teacher why are you so annoying, at her age she should be married what's the point of studying! Reading is still a waste of money, what's the use of an omega studying ......" Fu Ning stood against the odds in the door and listened to her elders' complaints about losing their money with low brows and obedience.

She was clearly tall, but her head seemed to hang down into her chest.

"Funing, do you want to study?" Li Songyun asked in an open voice.

Funing froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at her grandmother, she didn't dare to answer, but Li Songyun didn't care what Funing's answer was in the first place, he was going to take the boy back to school today even if Funing didn't want to read.

Li Songyun grabbed Fu Ning's wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the door, his face cold, "Old man, I will pay for Fu Ning's tuition." The indescribable coldness of his aura shocked the cursing grandmother into silence, forgetting to stop her and watching in awe as Li Songyun led Funing out.

"Funing, keep your head up and your chest out." Li Songyun said to the omega beside him.

This child had secretly asked him for help, saying that he didn't know how to walk when walking alone down a long corridor after class.

"Remember what I said to you? Don't pay attention to the eyes of others and look straight ahead."

"We keep moving forward and it will always be light."

August 233 A.D. Tang Bai joins the omega conservancy and establishes the omega youth education programme: Starfire

[Gu Tunan].

The ship vibrates, the shell made of military metal appears densely perforated, and on the riddled ship emerges a horrible gluttonous insectoid race, shaped like cockroaches, their bodies shimmering with metal and their red insect eyes physically discomforting.

"They're really showing up."

Gu Tunan saw the hideous image of the new insectoid clearly through his probe, his grey-blue eyes unafraid, and he took a deep breath and gave the order for the space combat unit to strike.

At the moment Gu Tunan gave the order, Xie Ruhang checked his equipment and without hesitation he leapt through the hatch!

In the vastness of space, the space combat mech he manned spread a pair of sharp mechanical wings, two lightsabres stretching out across the void. Perhaps the danger factor could be sensed in advance, and the insects that were frantically gnawing at the mech's defences stopped, countless pairs of red eyes gazing at the mech master who was small and harmless compared to the huge ship.

The next moment, the lightsaber swung out and landed precisely on a point on the insect's abdomen, the only point of death on its body, and its body twisted instantly.

The crowd in the monitor room erupted in loud cheers as they finally found a way to defeat the damned insects!

The insects were lying on the ship and refused to disengage, they could not use their ultimate weapons on the ship itself, in this case it was the optimal solution for the mechs to do it instead.

The well-trained space combat squads rushed towards the individual insectoids on the ship, their sophisticated space combat mechs allowing them to control their bodies with precision in space. The mech combatants hovered in front of the insectoids and swung their lightsabers in close succession, their swords extending and stabbing at the only weak point on the insectoids' bodies, impaling them straight through.

In the event of a deadly hit, no matter how much the insects struggle, the end result is death.

"Thank you, Xie & Tang, for developing these space combat mechs! It's a real relief for us!"

"Who said before that space combat mechs are useless but a waste of resources?"

"It was close, the ship's defenses weren't broken."

" Xie Ruhang is amazing! He's worth an army all by himself!"

"After this battle, Xie Ruhang will be an admiral."

" Xie Ruhang and Tang Bai are a match made in heaven... I'm jealous ......"

......

The whispers did not change Gu Tunan's expression, which was calm, the light stubble he had forgotten to shave under his busy schedule giving him a mature look, and the grey-blue eyes that held an intimidating air of nonchalance.

No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew that Gu Tunan, who is always sensible and calm, had a rare moment of concentration as he watched the battle unfold before him.

--" Gu Tunan, you're not supposed to be like that."

31-year-old Gu Tunan is a decorated war hero, a three-star lieutenant general at a young age, brilliant, self-disciplined, single and the dream A for countless omega and beta.

-- "You can dislike pampered omega's and consider them useless vases, but you don't discriminate against an entire group of omega's without reason, and you feel a twinge of anger, if not empathy, when an omega is verbally abused."

He and his young father, Li Songyun, are as dedicated to charity as they are to the group he leads, fair, compassionate and ruthless.

--You may not like the lazy, burning and looting people of the slums, but you will not be like the aristocrats of Qin Jun. You know that the brutal conditions of the slums magnify the evil in human nature, but you also know that it is in such conditions that the good in human nature is precious. "

These are the words that occasionally come to Gu Tunan's mind, the words that have influenced him the most, or rather, the person who said them the most.

The man showed him that an omega's true independence and self-improvement comes from his mind.

He had had many prejudices against the man, but it was he who proved to be blinded by his own arrogance.

Maybe you really shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young ......

But although there was no ending between them, the encounter had its meaning, and the relationship, which ended without incident, made him a better version of himself.

In March 242, the Federation and the Empire are engaged in a battle with insects, which feed on metal and energy crystals and are the nemesis of giant starships.

[Director Wong].

He stood at the three-foot podium and said to the young omega's on the stage, "Now I don't ask you to be virtuous, to follow the rules, to marry a good family as your ideal."

A little omega asked, "So what do we have to do for school?"

He laughed, "Be yourself."

*

In May 242 AH, Tang Bai inscribed to the Federation College of Etiquette: "May the omega of the College of Etiquette not be framed by mundane standards of achieving self-worth, and if the world is a barrier that stands in the way, then stab through it with a sword. Serve your country, pursue your dreams, do not fear the storm, the future is long."

[Andrei].

One of the first things Andrei did when he was crowned king was to order a thorough investigation of those who had murdered Tang Bai at a transnational academic exchange conference.

He could never forget the horror of the explosion at that meeting. Tang Bai was a different being to him, an unassuming, self-respecting, defiant omega, a confidant he had loved since before he met her, a talented mech builder for an enemy nation, and a saviour who could complete his unfinished business.

So keep on shining, enjoy the sorrows and joys of this big time, keep on shining and glamouring and be yourself to your heart's content.
