Chapter 175 A 3-year-old child
The celebration banquet went on until late at night, and many people were already completely drunk, including Adolphus and Jane.
Chu Zhao originally wanted to find an opportunity to explain his relationship with Ludwig to Adolphus, but after they finished dancing, when he turned around, Adolphus had already collapsed on the table unconscious.
So the sadness of the show ending hadn't even settled before it was dispelled by this group of drunks.
Chu Zhao and Ludwig escorted Adolphus back, while Ling Suyu naturally took charge of Jian You.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Ling Suyu helped Jian You out of the car, placed his hand on his shoulder, found a comfortable position, and guided him towards the room.
Wen Shumu followed behind, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He had seen that the space pirates in movies and TV shows were all heavy drinkers, but he never expected Jian You to be so drunk that she couldn't even stand up.
Neither of them knew that this was the first time in many years that Jian You had allowed himself to get drunk.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, or perhaps it was because he had family members by his side who could take him home when he was drunk.
After finally reaching the suite door, Jian You recognized his room number. He opened the door and was about to go in when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling Suyu.
Those unfocused black eyes gradually focused, then quickly became fixed again, clearly indicating that they were not yet fully conscious.
"You haven't spent all your money yet?" Jian You asked.
It took Ling Suyu a moment to realize that he was asking about the gold card, and he honestly shook his head: "I didn't spend it, I have my own money."
He didn't touch a single penny of the money in that card.
Upon hearing this, Jian You's tone immediately became urgent: "You're still young. Giving you pocket money is for you to spend it all. Kids shouldn't be so frugal. Wait until you're older before you spend your own money."
Ling Suyu and Wen Shumu: "..."
Can a 30-year-old still be called a child?
Wen Shumu hid to the side, facing the wall and chuckling to himself, leaving Ling Suyu speechless as he looked at his "drunkard" father.
Seeing that Ling Suyu seemed about to say something against it, Jian You immediately waved her hand domineeringly, not giving him a chance to refuse: "I'll give you a week to spend it all."
After Jian You finished speaking, she realized that her tone was too fierce and that she shouldn't have spoken to a "child" like that. Her sharp aura instantly subsided, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... goodnight, Xiao Yu."
The door slammed shut in front of Ling Suyu, and the person who closed the door practically ran into the house.
Ling Suyu: "..."
If Wen Shumu hadn't been afraid that Jian You inside the door would have heard, he would have burst out laughing.
He walked up to the stunned black-haired Alpha, a sly smile playing on his lips: "Let's go back too, Xiaoyu."
Ling Suyu glanced at him helplessly.
Wen Shumu immediately changed his tune, pretending nothing had happened, and obediently said, "Brother, we—ah!"
His legs suddenly left the ground as Ling Suyu lifted him up, causing him to gasp in surprise. Fortunately, no one was around.
He said he wanted to go back, but he didn't say he wanted to carry him back!
Ling Suyu tightened his grip on Wen Shumu's hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and strode towards the room.

The next morning, the guests gathered at the hotel entrance.
The atmosphere of parting suddenly became heavy as everyone was about to embark on their own journeys.
Ye Jingxi took a long vacation and now has to go back to work in the Federation. Wen Wei decided to stay in the Federation for a while and take the opportunity to renovate the new house.
The aircraft that would take them to the airport had arrived. Before boarding, Wen Wei sighed softly and looked at the guests who had come to see them off: "It's really nice to meet you all."
Jiang Hong smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to have met you all."
Wen Wei laughed along, "Remember to come visit us when you return to the Federation."
He then looked at Wen Shumu and the others: "Welcome to the Federation, or we can meet again when we return to the Empire!"
Wen Shumu nodded, a hint of reluctance still lingering in his eyes: "No problem!"
Ye Jingxi nodded and said, "Goodbye."
They had to catch their morning starship and couldn't linger any longer.
Everyone watched as the aircraft took off, gradually moving further and further away until it became a black dot in the sky and disappeared.
Wen Shumu suddenly felt a sense of reality; "Love's Star Journey" had truly come to an end.
This dream that changed the course of his life came to an end, but at the same time, it ushered in a new chapter for him.
The ARES team wanted to spend another day here, so the Jiang brothers decided to join them before heading to the Imperial Star to see a play.
Jiang Hong also made a promise with Wen Shumu that she would visit him later.
In order to repair the ice rift, Chu Zhao and Yu Chonglan cleared their schedules for a long time and prepared to go to the Imperial Star together to work in seclusion in Chu Zhao's studio to repair it.
Ludwig naturally went wherever Chu Zhao went.
Adolphus received invitations from prestigious Imperial schools such as the Royal Military Academy Antaved to attend various academic conferences and lectures.
The master had finally returned to the Empire, so naturally, the various universities wouldn't let him off the hook.
Even Emperor Yi Hao extended an invitation, inviting him to visit the Helios Palace.
Therefore, apart from Wen Wei and Ye Jingxi, the others will soon reunite on the Imperial Star.
Not long after, Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu returned to Anjiang Star's main city, accompanied by Jian You and the Allison couple.
They met Margery, the new steward of the Wen family castle.
Margery is extremely efficient. In just three days, he has already recruited excellent waiters and gardeners and arranged the castle's internal affairs in an orderly manner.
Jian You came along because his private starship was docked at the main city's spaceport. He had been in the Empire for too long and it was time to return to his own universe.
Unlike when he arrived alone, this time Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu escorted him to the airport.
Jian You clearly remembered what happened after he got drunk, and they were both a little awkward when they saw Ling Suyu these past two days.
Standing in front of the starship, Jian You cleared her throat: "After getting the citizen card, I activated a new terminal number. You can add it."
The two then added Jian You as a friend, as instructed.
Wen Shumu was still thinking, could Jian You's terminal nickname also be "Xiaoyu Loves Mumu"?
This time, the nickname was normal; it was just his name. However, the profile picture showed... a small tree on an island.
It's an oil painting version, and it looks very elegant.
Jian You replied calmly, "It was painted by your painter friend."
Wen Shumu realized that it was actually written by Wen Wei.
Jian You turned her gaze to Ling Suyu, as if she wanted to say something. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she swallowed her words and only said softly, "I'm leaving."
Ling Suyu pursed his lips slightly: "Have a safe journey."
A deep rumble came as the starship's engines started, and a strong wind blew through their hair.
This massive steel behemoth quickly disappeared into the airport.
Having experienced so many partings these past two days, Wen Shumu felt a little sad.
But life seems to be like this: brief reunions, separations, and reunions.
Or perhaps... we'll never see each other again.
Wen Shumu had only been feeling sad for two seconds when his and Ling Suyu's terminals both beeped one after the other.
The two exchanged a glance and then both projected their images.
The content on the projection is exactly the same.
Jian You has transferred 100000000 credits to you.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Wen Shumu asked uncertainly, "Did I count correctly? This is a nine-digit number, right?"
Ling Suyu: "...I didn't miscount."
Wen Shumu has deeply felt how powerful his father's money is.
Ling Suyu sighed: "Let's go back."
Who knew that Jian You, as if she could read minds, would send another message.
[Jian You: My feelings are not to be taken back, or I'll transfer them directly to your account.]
Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu: "..."
Is this the legendary domineering fatherly love?
On the smoothly sailing starship, Jian You looked at the two received transfer messages displayed on the terminal, and a satisfied smile finally bloomed on his lips.
A book sat on his lap, titled "How to Be a Good Dad: Navigating the Sensitive Periods of Childhood".
It's really a bit late for him to start learning how to be a good father at his age.
After all, all he knows how to do is send money, send money, and send money.
Oh, and there are also those who help the children deal with the people who bully them.
Surrounded by fierce-looking space pirates, he had no one to serve as a standard for a good father, so he could only try his best to learn all the relevant parenting knowledge from the outside world.
At that moment, Jian You was unaware that his book would soon be replaced with—
"How to Be a Good Grandfather: The Importance of Intergenerational Education" and "Grandfather and Grandson's Cosmic Adventure".
