In a daze, I felt a slightly rough yet extremely warm touch on my forehead.

With his eyes closed and his mind focused, Wen Shumu clearly recognized that it was Ling Suyu's hand.

His long eyelashes slowly lifted, and he opened his eyes, unsurprisingly meeting icy blue eyes.

Those eyes that he once thought he could only see in his dreams were now in reality, reflecting only him.

Wen Shumu's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Brother."

Did I wake you up?

Wen Shumu wondered if it was because he had just woken up and his mind was not fully clear, but he felt that Ling Suyu's voice sounded particularly gentle.

He shook his head: "No, I was just planning to take a nap anyway. Is it almost time to meet up?"

Ling Suyu straightened up: "There's still a little over an hour left."

Wen Shumu realized that he had actually taken a nap for more than two hours!

He quickly sat up, climbed out of bed, and started to tidy himself up.

After tidying up his messy curly hair and changing into the clothes he would wear for the evening's live stream, Wen Shumu came out of the bathroom and strolled over to Ling Suyu's side.

"Brother, that payment... thank you." Wen Shumu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"We're already married, no need to thank me." Ling Suyu said calmly, bringing up his terminal. "Use your terminal to swipe it."

Wen Shumu raised his wrist as instructed.

"Beep—"

A mechanical voice sounded, and Wen Shumu stared wide-eyed at the huge number on the terminal screen.

There are so many zeros that they are countless.

"This, this is..."

"I've saved up some money over the years, so you don't need to worry too much about work, and you don't need to skimp on going out to have fun."

Omegas from aristocratic families almost never work. Even if they do, they are mostly just figureheads, doing charity work or art to increase their influence in high society.

So when Wen Shumu mentioned wanting to find a job during his self-introduction that day, netizens were very surprised.

This was the first time Ling Suyu had ever heard that Xiao Mu had this idea.

At first, he thought that Wen Shumu was influenced by the other guests and also wanted to achieve something in a certain field.

Hearing Heck report that his wife had gone shopping but hadn't bought anything, he suddenly realized that... the Wen family's past mistreatment of Xiao Mu must have included material things as well.

Wen Shumu's gaze was fixed on the "Confirm Binding" option on the terminal screen.

If you press this option, he will share all of Ling Suyu's property from now on.

Does that mean...they won't get a divorce?

Ling Suyu said softly, "Let's confirm."

A hint of tears welled up in Wen Shumu's eyes as he stood motionless for a long time.

Suddenly, my fingers were gently grasped by a large hand and moved toward the screen.

Ling Suyu and he pressed the confirmation button together.

After finishing this task, Ling Suyu's terminal received a new call request. He raised his hand to rub Wen Shumu's soft hair, turned around and went out to receive the call.

Wen Shumu walked to the window and looked through the window at Alpha, who was having a video call.

I just kept watching and watching.

A storm was brewing in his eyes, waiting for the right moment to engulf Alpha.

The ancient village was far from where the guests were staying; even by hovercar, it would take more than an hour. The production team finally "showed mercy" and sent a special car to pick up the guests, so they didn't have to spend their own money to find their own way there.

The large hovercar they had ridden in on their first day on Floating Star was now carrying the group along a winding mountain road.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that such a beautiful ephemeral flower could bloom in an ordinary ancient village deep in the mountains?

Thin veils of mist shrouded the ancient village, adding a touch of mystery.

The hovercar stopped, and the guests had to walk across the road ahead.

Wen Shumu got out of the car and saw a stone path winding upwards, disappearing into the deep green foliage shrouded in the night.

Wen Wei looked left and right and said, "It would be quite scary to come here alone at night."

Ye Jingxi smiled and put her arm around his shoulder: "I wouldn't let you come by yourself."

Everyone: "..."

[They're already showering us with PDA right after starting their live stream?]

[It's so delicious, I'll eat and eat!]

Wow! Are they here to see the Holy Epiphyllum?

[I'm so excited! I dragged my boyfriend to watch the live stream with me. Even though we can't be there in person, it's still great to catch the stream.]

As you climb the steps along the path, you'll see the sign for "Yunliang Ancient Village." The rustic village gate stands quietly, awaiting the guests tonight.

A guide dressed in ethnic costume stood by the village gate. Seeing the guests arrive, he greeted them with a smile and led them through the cobblestone streets.

Wen Shumu imagined a scene in a plantation where everyone stood together around the sacred epiphyllum, but he never expected that in order to develop the tourism economy, the ancient village would build a village building specifically for tourists to appreciate the sacred epiphyllum, with many small rooms specially set up inside.

Upon entering the village, the production team had reserved seats for them in advance in a private room on the second floor, offering a superb view of the entire blooming process of the Holy Epiphyllum.

The guests took their seats one by one, and Chu Zhao raised his hand to ask a passing staff member a question.

"May I ask how much the tickets cost here?"

Ke Mo told them in the car that since transportation was provided free of charge, they would have to pay for the viewing of the Holy Epiphyllum themselves.

The staff member replied, "400 credits per person."

Chu Zhao and Ludwig exchanged a glance, and both showed expressions of relief.

As top mecha makers in the industry, the two were used to spending lavishly and had never experienced the days of carefully calculating for a hundred or so credits.

Right now, they were all thinking—

Thank goodness, they still have 50 credits left!

In the distance, the pure white petals of the Epiphyllum oxypetalum flowers closed their corollas, each one drooping its head delicately.

In the interstellar era, mechs can clash head-on at speeds far exceeding the limits of the human body, and the destructive power of space warship weapons can even destroy an entire planet in the blink of an eye.

In such a turbulent, chaotic, and violent era, purity and gentleness are especially precious, and people yearn for beautiful emotions more and more.

The Holy Epiphyllum is a microcosm of this.

Whether it's its pure appearance or the meaning it represents, it accurately touches the hearts of people living in this era.

The number of viewers in the "Love's Star Journey" live stream surged. Even some people who don't usually watch variety shows clicked into the live stream just to see the high-definition footage of the blooming of the Holy Epiphyllum.

The sounds of tourists could be heard coming from downstairs.

Holding onto the railing, Wen Shumu looked down and saw that most of the tourists were in pairs, behaving intimately, clearly couples.

He listened intently and heard Jiang Hong say, "It'll be eight o'clock in five minutes."

At 8 p.m., the Holy Epiphyllum will display its beauty to the world without reservation.

Wen Shumu returned to his seat and sat down, waiting for the Holy Epiphyllum to bloom.

Ling Suyu, standing to the side, gazed at the Holy Epiphyllum, his expression subtly shifting.

If it were the old him, he would never have spent time looking at the flowers.

He could not appreciate beauty that could be so easily destroyed.

He had long heard of the symbolism of the Holy Epiphyllum, but at the time he scoffed at it, thinking that if one were to place the long-term affection on a single flower, wouldn't that only further demonstrate the fragility of love?

But now...

With one minute left, Wen Shumu turned to Ling Suyu with a smile, her eyes sparkling: "Brother, I'm so happy to be able to see the Holy Epiphyllum with you!"

His bluntness caught Ling Suyu off guard.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ling Suyu slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Sitting next to Wen Shumu, he finally understood the couples who traveled thousands of miles to see the sacred epiphyllum.

This is not merely about seeking illusory spiritual solace.

More importantly, while enjoying the flowers, your life partner is right beside you.
