Chapter 266 - SHEN YI MUS UNWAVERING SUPPORT (2/2)

[What bored? I think you're the one who's blind. There are so many of us who thinks that the performances were wonderful. So, are you saying that we all turn blind?]

[That's right! And I don't think the top players were bored at all. I saw a glimpse of Bian Que. He definitely looked like he's enjoying the performances!]

[Although it��s true that some of the items in the game are expensive as hell. But Moonlight Media also allows players to earn crystal coins in the game. If you're dedicated enough, you don't have to buy crystal coins and still be able to be one of those said top players. Isn't the current number one on the Assassin leaderboard a good example of that?]

[Moonlight Media has the right to demand money. After all, they made such a breakthrough in the gaming industry. Even until now, those VR games made by other country couldn't hold a candle against Arcadia. In terms of design – from NPCs to the monsters and to the many places in the game – and gaming experience, Arcadia is still the best.]

[Why are you dragging Moonlight Media down? Banning them? On what grounds? Because of some R-18 stuff that kids might experience? Let me remind you that children under 10 are not allowed to play the game. And those minors could only play using the cradle version of the VR helmet. They couldn't even see a drop of blood. Is this protection not enough?]

[Arcadia is almost integrated in our pop culture. Saying that they should be banned is a bit of a reckless comment.]

With that, these negative comments were immediately drowned by the other more positive ones. It could be seen from here that the opening night of Yuexing Pavilion was truly successful.

Shen Yi Mu raised one of his brows when he read these comments in Weibo. He wasn't the type to read about these things because his company had a team that was in charged with PR. He left everything related to social medias and things like that to his very reliable PR team. But this time was a bit different.

His nephew asked him if he could help his new team mate with promoting the pavilion he was about to open. That a single post on Weibo would be enough. You should know that Ji Yun barely asked him of anything ever since he became his legal guardian. So, of course, he didn't even think about it and just readily agreed.

Then he heard that he asked Zhao Cheng – the head programmer of Arcadia – if he could let his team mate buy a piece of land on the recreational garden in Goldcrest City. The same team mate that would open his own pavilion. Add that to the fact that before that, Ji Yun asked him how would someone be able to tell if they were in love and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He had a hunch that his nephew finally opened up and was now in love with this team mate. After all, he had never been so thorough in taking care of others. Even his closest friend, the boy from the Bai family, didn't receive such a treatment.

And then Shen Yi Mu learned that this team mate was actually Bai Ze's little cousin and a boy at that. Thinking of the possibility that his nephew could possibly have the same s.e.x.u.a.l orientation as him. He suddenly had a headache.

If that was really the case, of course, he wouldn't reprimand Ji Yun and tell him that what he was feeling was wrong. Loving someone was one of the greatest feeling that one could experience in their life. Why would he deprive his nephew of that? Just because their society dictates that love between the same gender was wrong and immoral?

No, their kind of love was only viewed wrong because of the constraint of society. In the eyes of people, the norm was a man and a woman should be a pair and nothing else. But who made that kind of law? Was it a crime to not follow it? No. Just as normal love should be respected, their kind of love should also earn an equal amount of respect. But he knew that it would take a lot of time before that could happen in this country. Especially since there were still a lot of people like his father in the older generation. As long as they're here, acceptance of same s.e.x love would be hard to attain.

But even so, he wouldn't stop Ji Yun from what he was feeling. He would let him figure out things on his own. And if by the end, he decided that this was the path that he would take, then he would give him his support. He wouldn't let him feel that he was alone in this. And most importantly, he wouldn't let him feel that there was something wrong with him. That loving someone of the same gender was never an abnormality. It just so happened that he fell in love with a man rather than a girl. And something like that would never ever be wrong.

Shen Yi Mu closed his Weibo app on the phone and what appeared on the wallpaper was a picture of a man soft black hair being blown gently blown by the wind. His pair of apricot eyes were bent into crescents, full of love and dependence. As if the person in front of him was his whole world.

Shen Yi Mu gently touched the screen, as if he could touch the person inside. [Ah Yue…]
