Chapter 450
(You can ignore this chapter. I wanted to delete it after typing it, but I already wrote it _(:3」∠)_)
After waiting for a while, the rescue team still didn't arrive. Ni Yangzhou felt sorry for the person lying on the ground, but Yan Congzhi just stood straight and tried to persuade Ni Yangzhou to go back to the tent and continue sleeping with his calm eyes.
Ni Yangzhou felt that this version should be Min Liu. Only he would retain this almost innocent cruelty, and for him, standing idly by was something without any moral burden.
Ni Yangzhou had discovered in that world before that his little Liu'er was far from being as innocent as he seemed. Kindness does not allow one to command an army, and righteousness does not allow one to command wealth. To be a wise ruler, he was destined not to be a soft-hearted person.
"go in."
Yan Congzhi finally spoke: "When someone comes, they will take him away."
Ni Yangzhou shook his head: "It's not appropriate for us to sleep inside while he is unconscious outside."
Not knowing whether the Omega's injuries had damaged his internal organs, Ni Yangzhou didn't dare to move, nor did he let Yan Congzhi move. He simply squatted down and guarded. Yan Congzhi saw that he had no choice but to fold his clothes and use them as a cushion for Ni Yangzhou with a sullen face.
"How about being an Omega?"
Yan Congzhi stayed beside Ni Yangzhou, listening to the young man's slow voice:
"Some people think it's a good thing. I've heard that many Betas really want to be Omegas, thinking that all they have to do is look after their looks, arrange flowers, go shopping, cook, and then they can enjoy a life of lazing around. But I've also heard that some Betas feel that Omegas are pitiful. Once Omegas have completed their gender differentiation, their possibilities in this world are greatly reduced. They can't serve in the military or hold high positions, and are destined to be marked and have children. They don't have what Betas call 'the freedom of mediocrity.'"
"But are there any Alphas who feel that their gender is a cage? Are there some Alphas who don't want to be Alphas? They enjoy privileges in every sense of the word, whether it's physical fitness, career, mate selection, and so on. Well... maybe. Maybe some people think that being an Alpha is tiring? Popular public opinion requires them to be brave, responsible, and strong. Some people also think that being a Beta or Omega is better? Yan Congzhi, you know, I once saw a message from an anonymous A in some forums, saying that he didn't want to be an A anymore, and said that the happy life of Bs and Os who can just spread their legs and have a child and be supported by others is not his turn.
I was puzzled, really, because he thought childbirth was such a simple thing. I guess he didn't know much about the series of things involved in pregnancy, maybe he didn't even know how many months a pregnancy takes.
At this point, Ni Yangzhou looked up at Yan Congzhi and asked, "Do you know how many months it is?"
"Generally speaking it's 40 weeks, which is nine months and one week."
Ni Yangzhou nodded: "I took the reproductive health class seriously, that's good."
Yan Congzhi pursed his lips, happy that he was praised.
"The full range of oppression has been reduced to one specific incident, and the pain of that incident has been trivialized to the point of being a mere passing comment. I don't expect mutual understanding, but at least some courtesy in words can be maintained, right? It seems the gap between people is even greater than that between humans and animals.
...But discussing these things is rather boring. What good does it do to know? Seeing all the injustice and opposition, even if I don't get involved in my current situation, is it a good idea to be an outsider?"
Ni Yangzhou looked at the wounds on Lin Zhan's body and said, "If I say nothing and do nothing, what am I?"
Yan Congzhi remained silent. He had never thought about it from this perspective, or rather, it was not his personality to think about these things. For him, if it didn't work, he would try hard, and if it was unfair, he would break it. He would not think about the rationality, he just wanted to achieve his goal.
Ni Yangzhou noticed it when he first saw Lin Zhan in the mountains. The red-haired man's weak legs made him stand out so much. The first second Ni Yangzhou saw him, he couldn't help but think of his mother and Yan Congzhi.
Being held in the arms of the young man, with his mouth bent and smiling ingratiatingly, the momentary feeling of oppression pierced Ni Yangzhou's heart like a sharp thorn.
He had spent the past few months traveling with Yan Congzhi, shielding himself from all the injustices that genders often face. He felt like he was living in an ivory tower, shielding his eyes from the outside world. When people of a certain gender exist solely as reproductive resources, no matter how many seemingly pleasant "privileges" they enjoy, they are no more than the melodious music played during slaughter. Lin Zhan was an Omega, beautiful, young, and powerless. His circumstances limited him to a few paths, and even if he wound up in a bloody situation, the onlookers would interpret it as his own decision.
Even my classmates at Omega Academy were like this. They looked glamorous on the surface, but in reality, they didn't even have the right to choose their own careers. They competed openly and covertly, taking pride in who could be the first to find a great Alpha. It wasn't that they were willing to compete, but the path was too narrow, forcing them to compete. In the oppression of their own sex, they felt like they were standing on each other's shoulders.
Yan Congzhi looked at the wrinkles between the brows of the young man who was sitting with his knees hugged. "You don't necessarily need to do anything. Just seeing it is a form of resistance."
Ni Yangzhou was silent for a long time, then nodded:
"It's not a struggle between three genders. Struggles are always difficult and never easy. Everyone is first and foremost determined by their class, and only then by their outward, visible gender."
Yan Congzhi remained silent. Ni Yangzhou felt something was wrong and changed his tone, "Oh, plus E, four types. Should I study it specifically to see if there are any majors related to gender equality?"
Yan Congzhi nodded: "If you want, I can send someone to contact them."
Ni Yangzhou tutted his words, "Oh, my damn privileged class."
Yan Congzhi didn't refute, but simply nodded: "This is the result of your husband's hard work and dedication to experiments. Enjoy your privilege to the fullest."
Ni Yangzhou smiled and put aside the idea that came to his mind in the dark night.
"Has the rescue team not arrived yet?"
Yan Congzhi turned his head and looked towards the stone steps: "Here they come."
