After flirting with the cold and ruthless marshal, the entire intergalactic world started shipping t

[Holy crap, lift him up high!!]

[Ahhhhh, hands on hips!]

[The waist is so thin, it sucks. 】

I want to pinch him too.

[Hilarious, Mumu's gone crazy.]

What are you dawdling about, young master? Just reach out and you'll get it.

[Mumu probably never expected the marshal to lift him up.]

Wen Shumu knew he should reach out and pick the apple, but his whole body seemed to be frozen in place as if it were not under his control.

Ling Suyu's hands were very hot. Through the thin fabric of his clothes, Wen Shumu felt as if his waist was being burned by the heat.

It was so hot that his body went limp.

Seeing that Wen Shumu hadn't moved yet, Ling Suyu assumed he wasn't tall enough and lifted him up a little higher.

The change in his vision made Wen Shumu seem to wake up, and he reached out and picked the apple.

"All picked."

Ling Suyu loosened his grip and gently put the person down.

With his feet firmly planted on solid ground, Wen Shumu let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

His waist was too sensitive. If Ling Suyu held it any longer, his legs would probably go weak, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't stand up.

Ling Suyu took a few steps to the side, his expression unchanged, but his fingers were slightly rubbing together.

Unlike firm muscles, the touch just now was very soft... something he had never experienced before.

Ling Suyu clenched his fist, closed his eyes, and forced himself to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts.

The Lashan Orchard is so huge that you have to visit all the fruit areas in the orchard to complete the check-in. No wonder Jiang Hong and Chu Zhao's group spent so much time here.

Wen Shumu walked behind Ling Suyu on the right.

After leaving the apple orchard, Ling Suyu's pace noticeably quickened, making it difficult for him to keep up.

He wanted to stop and have a drink of water. Just as he was about to call out to Ling Suyu, his gaze shifted to the Alpha's profile, but his attention was completely drawn to the reddened earlobes.

Wen Shumu took two quick steps to close the distance.

Confirming that he wasn't seeing things, Ling Suyu's ears were indeed red.

Was you bitten by an insect? Or are you allergic to something?

Wen Shumu slowed down, his eyes still fixed on Ling Suyu's ear.

A scene from "Love in the Emperor's World: The Cold-Hearted Brother Falls in Love with Me" suddenly popped into my mind.

My brother's shy reactions are so funny. Every time I whisper in his ear, his ears turn red. It's so cute, I want to bite them.

Thinking of how Ling Suyu had kept walking forward with his head down after putting him down, Wen Shumu's eyes suddenly widened.

Could it be... that Ling Suyu's ears turned red because she touched his waist and was shy?!

Even though the possibility of this guess was very small, just thinking about it made Wen Shumu extremely happy. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and his steps became much lighter.

It took almost two hours to check in at the Lashan Orchard. Adding the time spent resting and traveling, it was already 3 p.m. when we arrived at Nanluo Lake.

The lush vegetation along the lakeside reflects the lake water in a vibrant green hue. Sunlight shines down, and the lake surface ripples with light, like thousands of tiny diamonds sparkling simultaneously. Birdsong and the fragrance of flowers drift by, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

Sitting on a bench by the lake, Wen Shumu exclaimed, "This is a great place for a vacation and relaxation. If only there weren't any check-in tasks, I could stay here all day and experience picnics and camping."

Ling Suyu stood not far away with his back to him, gazing at the lake: "There will be other opportunities in the future, we can come again."

Wen Shumu's breath hitched for a moment, then he flashed a bright smile and replied, "Okay! Let's do it together."

He really... loved listening to Ling Suyu talk about "the future".

Ling Suyu's greatest wish is that he will still exist in Ling Suyu's "future".

Although there were still more than two hours left before the deadline set by the program team, Wen Shumu dared not slack off, fearing that the ancient tree garden would be like the Lashan orchard, requiring a long time to complete the check-in. So they rested for half an hour at Nanluo Lake before setting off.

All the trees in the ancient tree garden are over 100 years old. The most eye-catching one is the ancient tree, Gexi Sacred Tree, located in the center of the entire Wazhou Forest Botanical Garden. It is 27 meters tall, 15 meters in circumference, and has a canopy area of ​​nearly 200 square meters. Ten adults holding hands cannot encircle the trunk.

The sacred tree is surrounded by a railing. Around the tree, the Ancient Tree Garden has built the Sacred Tree Square, where visitors can stand outside the railing to admire the tree and pray to it for the health and longevity of their families.

If it weren't for the filming of "Love's Star Journey" clearing the area, Shenmu would often be surrounded by tourists, and sometimes there would be so many people that it would be difficult to even squeeze to the edge of the railing.

At this moment, only four people were standing next to the sacred tree.

Ludwig and Chu Zhao were the first group to arrive at the Ancient Tree Garden. The task at the Ancient Tree Garden was to reach the Geshi Sacred Tree. The two Alphas didn't stop or go around in circles and went straight to the Sacred Tree. Only after completing the task did they have a chance to catch their breath.

Neither of them was willing to give in on the journey. Even though they were both exhausted, neither of them was willing to call for a break and instead charged forward with all their might.

Now that she had received the 2000 credits as a reward for checking in, Chu Zhao leaned against the railing, her face growing paler and paler, feeling as if her legs were no longer her own.

Ludwig was slightly better and was even in the mood to chat with Wen Shumu.

"You've been here for an hour already?!" Wen Shumu exclaimed in surprise.

Ludwig smoothed his blond hair and said with a smile, "We have the fewest credits. In order to ensure we can complete the check-in and try to get first place, we have to keep traveling. We just skim through each place and move on to the next one."

When speaking to anyone other than Chu Zhao, Ludwig's smile softened considerably: "You and the Marshal are quite fast too."

Wen Shumu said, "We didn't dare to delay for too long."

He rarely had the opportunity to chat with others. No one in the Wen family would want to chat with him, and the servants at the Imperial Star Manor would not talk to him much in order not to overstep their bounds. He usually only communicated more with Ling Suyu and Allison.

Ludwig possessed the confidence and enthusiasm characteristic of Federation people, and he was very good at finding topics to talk about. Wen Shumu had a very pleasant conversation with him.

Ling Suyu's sharp gaze swept over Wen Shumu, who was smiling at Ludwig, and a dark light flickered in his eyes.

He looked away, loosened his grip on the railing, and found that the cylindrical railing was dented, with clear fingerprints visible on it.

Ling Suyu lowered his eyes and stared at the railing he had damaged, his clear, icy blue eyes darkening.

He's a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to emotions, but just now, he clearly felt his own thoughts:

I don't want Xiaomu to smile at other Alphas.

This is definitely not the kind of thought one would have for someone they consider a friend or younger brother.

On the Imperial Star, Allison had just finished dealing with the affairs of the manor when he received a message from the Marshal.

[Coordinate compensation matters with the ancient tree park.]

Allison: ? ? ?

Weren't we recording a TV show? What happened? Why do we have to pay compensation?

The next second, the marshal sent another photo, which showed a section of a crumbled railing.

Allison paused for a moment, then opened the Marshal and his wife's live stream.

In the video, the lady and the blond Alpha are chatting, while the Marshal stands alone to the right of the lady, facing the sacred tree with his back to the camera, so his expression cannot be seen.

Allison: "..."

He seemed to know why the railings had become like that.

The smell of vinegar could be smelled through the projector and reach him!
