Chapter 159 Not Let Him Be Alone
Wen Shumu smiled politely and replied, "I don't have anything I need to spend money on, and you're giving me too much..."
As he was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Ling Suyu suddenly appearing around the corner, and his face changed drastically in fright.
"elder brother!"
Black Firefly's expression froze, and she looked up, meeting a pair of ocean-blue eyes.
Those blue eyes, so similar to Ling Yun's, made him momentarily lose his focus.
Ling Suyu stepped forward, pulled Wen Shumu into his arms with one hand, put his arm around Wen Shumu's shoulder, and stared coldly at the unfamiliar Alpha.
Black Firefly remained silent, simply looking back at him, his ski goggles obscuring most of his expression.
Caught between two top-tier Alphas, Wen Shumu looked left and right, feeling suffocated by the stagnant atmosphere.
He finally looked at Blackfire, thinking that since things had come to this point, it was an opportunity to talk things out, and said, "Why don't you take off your ski goggles? We're indoors now, it must be uncomfortable wearing them."
Blackfire then obediently raised his hand and touched his ski goggles. His movement seemed to pause for a moment, but he eventually took them off, revealing a handsome face.
She looks very much like Ling Suyu.
Wen Shumu cautiously introduced Ling Suyu: "This is... Hei Ying."
Upon hearing the name, Ling Suyu suddenly reached for his waist with his right hand.
Wen Shumu knew there was a gun hidden there, and his heart jumped into his throat.
Ling Suyu placed his hand on it, veins bulging on the back of his hand, and said in a low voice, "How dare a wanted criminal of the Empire show up here?"
Hei Ying said calmly, "I saved you, so I've made amends. Yi Hao has already dropped the warrant for my arrest."
Dark clouds rolled over his azure eyes.
Faced with this suddenly appearing biological father, Ling Suyu's thoughts were like tangled threads, and he didn't know how to respond.
Joy? Resentment?
None of them seem right.
Ling Suyu's hand, which had been touching the gun, hung limply at his side, his eyes darkening: "What's your purpose in coming here?"
Black Firefly lowered her eyes, and after a moment, spoke softly, "Just trying to escape the heat."
Wen Shumu's face scrunched up as he tried to ease the tension, but he couldn't think of anything to say.
Suddenly remembering Adolphus's words, he quickly said, "When I had a video call with Master Adolphus a while ago, he said that Zhaoye needs maintenance."
Black Firefly nodded: "I understand."
The space fell silent once again, as still as stagnant water.
Wen Shumu glanced at Ling Suyu, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and asked Hei Ying, "Where do you live?"
"Laixin Hotel," Black Firefly announced the name of the hotel.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu's eyes widened immediately. Wasn't this the small hotel they had stayed at?!
Could it be that the guest who booked the suite is Black Firefly?
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from the locker room, followed by the voices of Wen Wei, Ye Jingxi, and others.
The guests changed their clothes and came out of the room one after another.
Blackfire put her ski goggles back on: "I should go."
Before Wen Shumu could react, he turned and walked towards the empty corridor on the other side, then suddenly stopped.
"By the way, I now have an Imperial citizenship card." Blackfire turned around, her gaze sweeping over the young marshal and his wife. "My name is... Jian You."

On the return journey in the hovercar, Ling Suyu leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
Others might not be able to tell, but Wen Shumu could sense his suppressed emotions.
Hearing the laughter of Jiang Hong and his friends, Wen Shumu's attention remained fixed on Ling Suyu.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on the Alpha's cold hand.
Ling Suyu immediately opened his eyes and met Wen Shumu's worried gaze. He tried his best to suppress the gloom in his eyes and make himself look no different from usual, but little did he know that this would only make Wen Shumu more worried.
The orange-red sunset obscured the blue sky and was gradually swallowed by the night.
After getting off the hovercar, Jiang Hong exclaimed, "It's so cold!" and ran into the hotel, hugging his arms.
Ke Mo told everyone to get some rest, and that they could eat at the hotel restaurant or order food from the restaurant, and that the production team would cover the cost.
Wen Wei smiled and said, "Let's start with a bluefin tuna."
Four thousand credits per kilogram.
Ke Mo: "...Take it easy."
Wen Wei's lips immediately drooped.
Ye Jingxi said, "Honey, I'll buy it for you."
Wen Wei's eyes lit up: "I love you!"
Dr. Ye, who had been so composed just moments before, seemed a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly a few times and pulled Wen Wei towards the room.
Ke Mo: "..."
He understood; he was just part of their public display of affection.
The Jiang brothers were also thinking about what to eat later.
The other two groups of guests, however, were not in the mood for this.
Chu Zhao and Ludwig each had their own thoughts, their eyes only on the big bed they were about to sleep in.
Stepping onto the soft carpet in the corridor, passing the only suite that didn't belong to the guests, Wen Shumu couldn't help but wonder if Hei Ying was inside.
After returning to the room, Ling Suyu first helped Wen Shumu change out of his thick winter clothes.
He was noticeably quieter than usual, only frowning when he held the Omega's cold feet: "You can soak in the hot spring for a while to get rid of the chill. Tell Heck what you want to eat and he'll order it."
Wen Shumu keenly sensed Ling Suyu's meaning; he must be about to go out and wouldn't be able to have dinner with him.
Wen Shumu opened his mouth, but didn't ask what he wanted to do. He simply softened his gaze and smiled, saying, "Okay."
One person entered the backyard, and Wen Shumu soaked in the hot spring. Through the open balcony and glass door, he could clearly see Ling Suyu open the door and leave the room.
Wen Shumu's body sank, burying himself in the warm water.
There are some things that are beyond his control; only Ling Suyu and Hei Ying can resolve their own inner conflicts.
All he could do was stay by Ling Suyu's side when he was sad, so that he wouldn't be alone like he was when he was a child.

The lobby is located in the center of the first floor of the Laixin Hotel. To the left are suites with private hot spring pools and king-size beds with scenic views, and to the right are a restaurant and a small bar.
The weather is so cold that people hardly go out at night. The Hill Snow Mountain Resort does not have a dedicated bar. Instead, it usually has one inside the hotel, like the Lai Xin Hotel, for guests who need it.
At this moment, there were only three people in the bar: the bartender, Ling Suyu, and Hei Ying, with the last one being Jian You, who had just obtained his citizenship card.
In a corner booth, Ling Suyu listened quietly as Jian You recounted her past.
When he heard that his parents had separated due to differences in ideology, and when Jian You learned of his existence after he entered military school, the hand holding the wine glass suddenly clenched tightly.
He understood almost instantly why Jian You hadn't appeared in front of him for so many years.
For his future.
A look of confusion flashed across Ling Suyu's eyes.
When he needed his parents the most, there was no one there.
Mothers are heroes of all mankind. They sacrificed their personal feelings for the benefit of humanity, and no one can deny their greatness.
During the years he struggled to survive on the desolate planet, his father, who was nowhere to be seen, was actually unaware of his existence. After he joined the army, his father chose to watch from afar for his future. He even assassinated the emperor after his accident and rescued him from the desolate star system.
He lost the right to complain once again.
