Chapter 173 The Only Tree on the Deserted Island
"I've been studying architecture for a while now, so I tried making this myself." Wen Shumu guessed that Ling Suyu had seen enough, and whispered, "It's... my first finished product."
Ling Suyu slowly took off his glasses, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"What I want to say is that this is our first year together, and every year from now on, I will continue to draw this map." Wen Shumu smiled gently, his expression filled with endless affection.
Ling Suyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear blue eyes, like the ocean, reflected Wen Shumu's face.
After a moment, he laughed too: "Okay, let's do it together."
As the snow melts, even the once silent, snow-capped mountains come alive.
[I'm so curious, what exactly did Mumu show the Marshal?!]
[Mumu said it was a map.]
I heard that! I'm curious about what's on the map!
[It's a secret between the couple.]
[If they're going to draw something together... I'm guessing it'll depict their movements?]
Wen Shumu was the last guest to open the gift box, and his hands trembled slightly when he touched the lid.
The temperature was low, and since he wasn't wearing gloves, his hands, which were already red from the cold, became even stiffer. He had to try several times to unlock the door before he was able to.
Ling Suyu, sitting opposite him, seemed a little nervous, suppressing all his smiles and adopting a solemn expression.
The lid of the chest slowly rose until all the items inside were fully revealed to everyone.
Wen Shumu looked down at the treasure chest, his pupils shrinking slightly: "This is...?"
In his field of vision appeared an island that almost filled the entire box, surrounded by azure seawater made of resin, resembling a secluded island isolated from the world.
Ling Suyu pointed to the middle of the island: "Touch here."
Wen Shumu then extended a finger and tapped it very lightly.
That cautious demeanor was exactly the same as Ling Suyu's just now.
Ling Suyu smiled and said, "Put some effort into it."
Wen Shumu stared intently at the center of the island and pressed the button again.
At first nothing happened, and Wen Shumu thought that he hadn't used enough force. Just as he was about to try again, the spot he pressed suddenly changed.
A tender shoot sprouted there and grew at an extremely fast speed, soon becoming a tree.
This tree wasn't very tall or sturdy, but it was the only tree on the deserted island.
As the tree grew, its greenery gradually spread outwards, turning the once barren and dilapidated island into a vibrant, grassy green.
Wen Shumu blinked, and suddenly two little figures appeared under the tree, looking very much like the clay figures they had seen before.
The little figures stand hand in hand amidst the lush greenery, gazing together at the shimmering sea in the distance.
"It's made of resin, plaster, and quartz sand." Ling Suyu's cheeks flushed slightly. "This is also the first time I've ever made something like this."
After being informed of the existence of the gift chest at the first stop, he went to ask Allison.
Allison said at the time, "The lady isn't very interested in luxury goods. I think she would like it more if you could make something yourself."
And that's how the gift came about.
The wood brushes across the ripples of the sea, the broken rocks of the islands, and the branches and leaves of the trees; each part requires a long time to carve to achieve such a vivid effect.
Ling Suyu is still very busy with work, and he still has to spend time with her when he gets home at night. I don't know how he managed to squeeze out the time to create this little world.
[Marshal Ling's hands are so skillful?!]
[My god, an island almost the size of a treasure chest, how long will this take to build...]
The colors are so beautiful! The seawater even has layers of color, from dark to light. Just this stretch of sea must have taken a long time to explore.
Those two little figures are so cute, hahaha!
After seeing the marshal's gift, I glanced at my useless, idiotic husband. Not only is he not as handsome, but he's also no match for him in practical skills.
[I feel like this, along with Mumu's ice sculptures, could be sold in a shop; they're so exquisite.]
"Do you remember the planet I gave you for your birthday?" Ling Suyu asked. "There's an island like this on that planet."
Wen Shumu paused slightly, his gaze shifting from the small island to Ling Suyu's face.
Ling Suyu smiled and said, "Would you like to go with me to see it after the show ends?"
Wen Shumu nodded rapidly almost as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes shining brightly: "Of course I'm willing!"
At this special moment, everyone present focused their sincere gazes on the two of them, filled with heartfelt blessings and emotion.
Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu closed the treasure chest together, marking the end of the final segment of "Love's Star Journey". After experiencing difficulties such as interruption of recording and long delay, it finally came to a perfect ending.
Kemo invited everyone to take a group photo in front of the backdrop with the program's logo.
The guests naturally stood in the middle, while the ARES team members, being tall and long-legged, stood in the back row, flanked by the main staff of the production team.
Jian You wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Adolphus grabbed her arm: "Why are you running? This is a great opportunity to take a picture with your son. Anyway, you're wearing snow goggles, so no one can see your face."
Jian You remained unmoved, and Adolphus couldn't pull him away either.
Having said what needed to be said, Adolphus decided to stop there. He walked over and stood between his two apprentices, Yu Chonglan and Chu Zhao.
Allison had somehow pulled Feng Xin to stand diagonally behind Wen Shumu.
"Is everyone ready?" Ke Mo called out.
A somewhat disorganized response came from in front of the backdrop.
"Ready!" "Done!"
Ke Mo didn't mind, and stood to the side with a smile, but was called back to the middle by the guests.
He subconsciously looked at Ying Xingfei, and when their eyes met, they met a pair of smiling eyes.
Ying Xingfei said, "Go."
Ke Mo then stood next to Wen Shumu under everyone's gaze.
The camera was pointed at them, the flash went off, and a group photo was taken.
Kemo immediately turned on the projector and asked everyone to check if there were any parts of the group photo that weren't taken well while they were still there.
In the photo, the guests all have delicate features and smiles on their faces.
Jiang Hong held his hands up to his face and made two peace signs. Not content with just making them himself, he also had to pull Jiang Xun along.
Jiang Xun could only silently raise his hand and give a peace sign. Yan Zezheng and Hemaiye happened to be standing behind the brothers and noticed the two pulling each other, which made them smile even more.
Wen Wei turned slightly towards Ye Jingxi and linked her arm with his, behaving intimately, just like when they first appeared in the first episode.
Chu Zhao has a refined and aloof appearance, but upon closer inspection, one can see that his cheeks are slightly flushed.
It turned out that Ludwig had secretly taken his hand.
At first glance, Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu appeared to be standing very close together, without making any other movements.
But if you move your gaze further down, you can vaguely see that there is an extra hand on Wen Shumu's waist.
Ling Suyu rarely smiles when taking photos, but this time she wore a very faint smile.
After looking at the photo for a long time, Ke Mo thought it was perfect.
Adolphus also looked up at the projection, but unlike Como, he didn't look at it as carefully, nor did he pay much attention to the most prominent guests.
His gaze swept across the edges and corners of the photo, and sure enough, he spotted Jian You wearing snow goggles in the corner of the staff on the left.
The master raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Oh, weren't you not going to take pictures? You're such a grown man, still acting all high and mighty!
