Chapter 153 What to do if it gets frozen?
Ling Suyu's gaze swept over the various books on the bookshelf, mostly novels and travelogues, the kind of books Wen Shumu usually liked to read.
Even if Wen Shumu didn't say it, he could guess that this dark and cramped room was where Xiaomu used to live in the Wen family.
A violent urge to destroy suddenly rose within him, and he even wanted to destroy the castle that had imprisoned his lover for so many years.
Just then, a cool, soft knuckle slipped into my palm.
Wen Shumu came closer, gently took Alpha's hand, and rubbed his face against Alpha's shoulder.
All the dark thoughts vanished the moment Wen Shumu touched him, and Ling Suyu reached out and pulled him into his arms.
Wen Shumu wrapped his arm around Alpha's waist, looked up at him with a smile, and said, "Actually, you'll get used to it after living here for a while. There are some advantages, such as it being quiet most of the time, which is good for reading, and the rooms are small, so they're easy to clean."
Ling Suyu stroked Wen Shumu's slightly curly short hair, his voice low and hoarse: "I really want to kill Wen Bin with my own hands."
Sensing Ling Suyu's anger, Wen Shumu's smile deepened.
He enjoyed watching Ling Suyu's emotions fluctuate because of him.
Brother, please show him more care and concern.
Wen Shumu lowered his head, pressing it close to Ling Suyu's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
Those unbearable moments gradually faded in color at this moment, shattering into pieces and buried deep in the ice of time.

Allison was extremely efficient; that very night, he used his extensive network of connections to recommend several suitable housekeepers to Wen Shumu.
Wen Shumu reviewed the resume and conducted an online video interview, ultimately choosing a straightforward and easygoing female Beta named Majeri.
Margery is about the same age as Allison, but has more professional experience. She is well-versed in etiquette and management skills, has unique insights into food and wine appreciation, is knowledgeable in the maintenance of fine furniture, and has even studied visual design. She is a truly all-around butler.
I'm just unlucky; I always run into employers with terrible character.
Her previous employer was also a marquis, but he had a terrible temper and would abuse his wife when he got angry.
Margaret couldn't stand by and watch, so she helped the gentle and timid lady find a lawyer to fight the divorce case, which made the marquis lose face, and she naturally lost her job.
Allison was very satisfied with Margery; such a butler was definitely an excellent talent to help the lady manage the Wen family castle.
He also told Wen Shumu in a mysterious way that he had invited a master to Anjiangxing to help redesign the castle's decoration.
Wen Shumu felt reassured to entrust these tasks to him, and then called Wen Bingxuan to discuss the details of entertaining the program team and guests the next day.
Summer in Anjiangxing is actually a great time to experience the northern scenery. The temperature is low, but not so cold as to keep you indoors during winter.
Previously, Wen Bin, relying on his noble status, looked down on the tourism industry, which was centered on ordinary people. Various resorts and tourist facilities built by Wen Shikun at great expense were shut down by Wen Bin for various reasons, causing the place to lose its reputation.
When people in the Empire mention Anjiangxing, they only think of it as Wen family territory.
Anjiangxing has a cold climate and scarce resources. It is covered by ice and snow all year round, making it difficult to develop other industries. Most of the young people here go out to find work. Those who stay either grow vegetables and flowers in greenhouses, make a living by logging, or depend on the Wen family for survival.
Compared to other prosperous planets, Anjiang Star can only be described as "desolate," which is why Wen Bin tried every means to return to the Imperial Star.
Now that he was out of Wen Bin's control, Wen Shumu heard from Xuan Bo that many resorts were working on restarting, and some of the faster ones had already started operating.
Wen Shumu agreed to Ke Mo's request to make Anjiangxing the final stop, actually hoping to use this opportunity to make a fool of himself and let the natural scenery of Anjiangxing be shown to the public through the live broadcast of a popular program.
If the tourism industry can be developed, residents will no longer have to worry about employment, and their lives will become more prosperous.
The next day, everyone got up early and, led by Allison, thoroughly cleaned the castle's public areas and the guest rooms prepared for the guests.
Around noon, the production crew, led by Ke Mo, successfully arrived at Anjiang Star. They needed to set up the camera positions at the castle before the guests arrived.
After a hasty farewell on Fuluoxing, Ke Mo was deeply moved to finally see Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu again.
"Things happened so suddenly that I never got to see you again. Thankfully, the Marshal is safe and sound." Ke Mo looked at the two of them. "Thank you for allowing the production team to film here."
Wen Shumu smiled and said, "I should be the one thanking you. Anjiangxing has many beautiful places, and I hope that after being on the show, more people will know about it."
He was, after all, a guest. Although he knew he was going to be filming here, Ke Mo didn't tell him the specific schedule, leaving everything to the production team.
"Don't worry, we've already prepared a plan." Ke Mo winked at him.
It was cold, and Ke Mo was only wearing a light down jacket for easy movement. Ying Xingfei came over at some point and put a woolen hat on his head.
It's rainbow-colored, which suits Producer Ying's unconventional aesthetic.
The director, who had just exuded a powerful aura, instantly lost all his authority after wearing this rainbow-colored hat.
Ke Mo glanced at him, but didn't say anything or take off his hat.
His hat was on a bit crooked, so Ying Xingfei went over and helped him put it on correctly.
Wen Shumu's gaze swept over the two of them, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but then he thought that perhaps he was just overthinking it.
He seemed to have seen a hint of... doting in the producer's eyes just now?
Just like how his older brother often looked at him.
The guests had informed each other of their arrival time in advance, which was generally between 3 pm and 4 pm.
After setting up the castle's landing spots, Ke Mo and his team rushed to the airport to welcome the guests, while Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu were asked not to appear and to wait at the castle.
This is also a tactic used by the production team to deliberately keep the audience in suspense and pique their interest.
After all, many people came specifically for Marshal Ling.
Chu Zhao, dressed in an exquisite long coat, paused as soon as he stepped off the starship. He felt a sudden chill that penetrated to his bones, making him shiver.
But his thick clothes were all in his suitcase, and with cameras pointing at him, it wasn't convenient to take them out. He had no choice but to endure it and plan to quickly get into the hovercar.
With a burst of energy, he rushed forward two steps, when suddenly he felt a warm embrace on his shoulders. Chu Zhao paused slightly and looked down to see that he was wearing a thick black cotton coat.
Ludwig's voice came from very close behind and to the side: "I knew you'd wear so little. What if you catch a cold?"
The coat exuded a faint, sun-kissed, dry scent, similar to Ludwig's own. Wearing it felt like being embraced from behind.
A faint blush rose on Chu Zhao's face, and then she heard Ludwig say, "What if you get frostbite and ruin the rest of the schedule? We can't have you lying around like a corpse while we're filming the show."
Chu Zhao: "..."
He gave Ludwig an elegant eye roll, put on his coat, and quickly got into the car.
