This posture makes me feel too insecure.

Wen Shumu clung tightly to the Alpha's arms as if he were holding onto a lifeline.

After being helped up by Ling Suyu, Wen Shumu turned around awkwardly and bumped into a pair of icy eyes that held a faint smile.

Wen Shumu was dumbfounded.

This was the first time I had seen Ling Suyu smile since we reunited.

In that case... it's all worth it, no matter how embarrassed he is!

Ling Suyu led the person into his bedroom.

Wen Shumu sat down on the sofa, holding the water that Ling Suyu had poured for him, and looked around.

Unlike the luxurious and cozy wedding room that Allison had prepared for them, Ling Suyu's room could almost be described as simple.

The spacious room contained only a large bed, a sofa, and a desk for reading and doing business.

Allison had previously wanted to help Ling Suyu decorate his room and had even presented several designs to the Marshal, but he rejected them all.

Ling Suyu had no material desires and spent most of his time living in the legion's dormitory. This manor was a gift from the emperor when he was conferred the title of marshal.

Wen Shumu's gaze fell on the desk, where a book lay open, its pages adorned with vibrant, colorful illustrations.

He believed he had no other strengths, and the only thing he was proud of was his photographic memory.

He had seen this pattern in a travelogue; it was a tourist attraction on a certain tourist island.

Glancing at the various military strategies and treatises on the bookshelf, this travelogue clearly stands out from the crowd.

Thinking of this, Wen Shumu asked the question.

"Brother, why are you reading travelogues?"

Ling Suyu paused for a moment, then followed Wen Shumu's gaze to the desk.

"You said you wanted to travel with me, so I thought I'd look at other people's experiences first and learn from them."

Wen Shumu's pupils dilated slightly, all because of those words he uttered...

He didn't even connect the dots to himself.

My heart felt like it was being caressed by a spring breeze, ticklish yet warm.

Wen Shumu couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit to Ling Suyu. He said indirectly, "Brother, the director of 'Love's Star Journey' added me, and he added you too, but he said you haven't accepted his friend request yet."

Ling Suyu's smile vanished in an instant, and he had already returned to his usual cold demeanor.

"I've already passed the test."

"Oh... okay!" Wen Shumu replied.

The room fell silent.

Wen Shumu only regretted that he was so clumsy with words. When he was a child, he could pester his brother to talk all day long, but now he was timid and speechless.

He was about to steer the conversation towards adding each other as friends when Ling Suyu suddenly popped up a notification on his terminal: "What's your terminal number?"

These words, which perfectly suited Wen Shumu's wishes, made him instantly overjoyed.

My brother added him as a friend!

He quickly recited a string of numbers.

A few seconds later, his device received a new friend request.

Unlike Xingbo, Ling Suyu's terminal has an avatar, which is a deep nebula in space.

The beauty and vastness of the universe are vividly presented in the photo he used as his profile picture.

It was a stunning scene captured by Ling Suyu during a time that Wen Shumu could not reach.

It was also the place that Wen Shumu, trapped in the Wen family, longed for...

Wen Shumu stared at the photo for a long time before quietly saving it.

It's great that my brother has been free all these years.

Ling Suyu had Allison deliver some snacks. While at the palace, he discovered that Wen Shumu liked desserts with strawberries.

Strawberry Napoleon cake, strawberry red velvet pastry, strawberry cream puff, strawberry mousse...

Allison moved very quickly, and soon the table was filled with all kinds of desserts.

Looking at so many desserts, with the sweet aroma of strawberries carrying a hint of cream lingering around his nose, Wen Shumu suddenly felt at a loss.

This taste...

His hand subtly traced the edge of the back of his neck, confirming that the gland patch was still there, before he felt relieved and happily ate small cakes one after another.

Ling Suyu simply watched him eat quietly.

This scene reminded Wen Shumu of how Ling Suyu often did this on the desolate planet, giving him all the good things and always waiting for him to finish eating before eating herself.

Wen Shumu picked up a piece of mousse cake, held it to Ling Suyu's lips, and said with a smile, "Let's eat together."

Ling Suyu's gaze fell on the cake, but was then drawn to the fair fingers holding it.

A smear of cream touched my fingertips, leaving my fingertips with a pale pink hue.

As if possessed, Ling Suyu didn't reach out to take it, but instead lowered his head and bit down, just like Wen Shumu had fed it to him.

The aroma of strawberries seemed to fill the entire cake.

He doesn't like sweets, but the cake Wen Shumu fed him this time seemed especially delicious.

Ling Suyu's breathing became somewhat hot; he was horrified by his own thoughts.

Wen Shumu treated him like an older brother, so how could he have such strange thoughts and actions?

Ling Suyu immediately stood up: "I still have official business to attend to. Please take your time eating."

Wen Shumu was still immersed in the joy of feeding his brother, nodding happily, unaware that the Alpha's departing figure carried a hint of haste as if fleeing in panic.

While Ling Suyu was away on the border star, Wen Shumu always felt that time was moving too slowly, and every day was so long and agonizing.

But now, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During the time Ling Suyu returned to the Imperial Star, Wen Shumu gradually adapted to his schedule.

During the day, Ling Suyu would go to the Marshal's Mansion to handle work, often returning late at night.

No matter how late it was, Wen Shumu would wait for him to return in the lobby on the first floor.

Ling Suyu told him he didn't need to wait there, and he obediently nodded. The next time, he indeed didn't wait in the lobby but instead waited at the main entrance.

This moved Allison to tears.

How much the lady must love the Marshal!

As soon as the marshal left, his wife reverted to her usual sullen and silent demeanor.

After the marshal returned home, his wife visibly radiated vitality, just like a new bud in spring.

Fortunately, it's springtime now, the temperature is pleasant, and the night breeze makes it quite comfortable and pleasant to be outside.

Otherwise, if the lady gets cold, the marshal will definitely feel sorry for her.

Ling Suyu's attempts to stop him failed, so she had no choice but to shorten her own schedule and try to get home as soon as possible so as not to keep Wen Shumu waiting too long.

His condition amazed everyone in the military.

Isn't it said that Marshal Ling and that noble Omega from the Wen family are only superficially compatible?

Why are you rushing home as soon as you finish work!

That evening, as soon as Ling Suyu arrived home, the guards on both sides opened the door for him. Before he could even step inside, a light-colored figure rushed out and pounced on him.

The guards saw the coldness around the marshal vanish instantly, and they opened their arms to catch the lady, even ruffling his flaxen curly hair.

The two exchanged a few words in hushed tones, their actions revealing an unspoken intimacy.

The guards had seen this scene many times before, and their initial shock had turned into a sense of normalcy. After the marshal led his wife inside, they closed the door and continued to stand guard dutifully.

Seeing how clingy the little one was to him, Ling Suyu didn't show it on his face, but his heart was actually as soft as if it were wrapped in cotton candy.

He finally experienced the feeling of someone waiting for him to come home again.

It was just as wonderful as it was many years ago.

After dinner, if Wen Shumu is not around, Ling Suyu usually reads or continues training.

But now, the two are sitting side by side on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, with the latest current affairs news playing on the projector screen on the wall.

The news anchor was diligently reading his script, but the two viewers weren't paying attention.

Wen Shumu looked down at Ling Suyu's well-defined hands.

He had held them before, so he knew what those hands felt like to touch.

Warm and dry, each finger holds boundless power, the calluses on the palms are rough, yet they are a symbol of the owner's bravery and skill in battle.

I really want to... hold your hand again.

Following his heart, Wen Shumu's hand honestly reached out towards Ling Suyu.

The moment their hands touched, both of their terminals lit up simultaneously.

Ling Suyu only had time to feel the fleeting, delicate touch before he understood what Wen Shumu was trying to do, when he saw the Omega excitedly approaching.

"Brother, 'Love's Star Journey' has been officially announced!"
