Chapter 177 Walking Hand in Hand
This leisurely time did not last long. After returning to the Imperial Star from Yumu Star and staying for a few days, and after meeting Jian You and Yi Hao, Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu rushed to Fuluo Star.
For two important things.
The ARES team's headquarters were originally on Planet Floro, but their branch on Planet Narentis was more well-known to the outside world.
The first important thing is that Wen Shumu will visit the ARES team to get a better understanding of the work of architects, and may even study there for a long time in the future.
Another thing is more important.
Originally, Wen Shumu could have come to Fuluo Star alone, but for the second matter, Ling Suyu quickly finished her work and came over with Wen Shumu.
They want to adopt Yuanyuan.
Even after the show ended, they would still call Yuanyuan regularly. Each time they ended the call, Yuanyuan would blink her teary eyes and say goodbye to them.
Wen Shumu felt very bad.
Although he frequently donates supplies to the welfare home, Wen Shumu still feels it's insufficient. For Yuan Yuan right now, he needs not only material support but also crucial emotional companionship.
They really like Yuanyuan and can fully feel Yuanyuan's trust and reliance on them.
Wen Shumu thought about it for a long time, and finally discussed with Ling Suyu about adopting Yuanyuan.
The reason they hesitated to make a decision earlier was because it was a heavy responsibility. They were unsure if they could play the role of a father well and had to consider it carefully.
But now that everything has stabilized, whether it's the interstellar situation or the couple's lives, Wen Shumu believes the time is right.
Ling Suyu, of course, agreed unconditionally.
After arriving at the Third Children's Welfare Institute on Planet Fuluo, the two explained their purpose to Director He Rui, who showed no surprise whatsoever.
She smiled warmly: "When I saw the three of you together, I had a strange feeling that this day would come."
Ling Suyu's expression was very serious: "We still need to confirm Yuanyuan's opinion in person."
Wen Shumu's expression was similar; they had to respect Cen Zhuyuan's idea.
The orphanage staff quickly brought Cen Zhuyuan to the director's office. Finally seeing Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu again, he was so excited that his eyes sparkled, and his whole being was filled with visible joy.
However, when he learned that the Marshal and his wife wanted to adopt him, his little face tightened immediately, and then large tears fell down his cheeks.
Wen Shumu panicked immediately: "Yuanyuan, it's okay if you don't want to come with us. The decision is yours."
Cen Zhuyuan quickly shook her head, wiping away her tears, and said, "It's what I wanted! I'm willing!"
Wen Shumu's eyes softened as he reached out and ruffled his hair.
Ling Suyu also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to He Rui to ask about the procedures that needed to be completed.
Cen Zhuyuan's face was covered in tears, so Wen Shumu found a piece of paper to wipe his face.
Cen Zhuyuan gazed at the gentle Omega before her, then glanced furtively at the Alpha who was talking to He Rui.
From this moment on, they were no longer the handsome uncle and the aloof uncle.
It's Daddy and Father!

Yuan Yuan's adoption procedures went very smoothly.
During his stay on Planet Furo, Wen Shumu visited the ARES team's headquarters, and Ling Suyu finally fulfilled his promise to meet with Yan Ji.
When they returned to the manor on the imperial star, a little tail appeared behind them.
Allison had already prepared Cen Zhuyuan's room, collected a bunch of exquisite toys from various places, and even inquired about the school.
With Allison around, and Yuan Yuan being an extremely sensible child, Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu, the new fathers, transitioned relatively smoothly.
Once Yuan Yuan had settled down and entered the best primary school on the planet, Wen Shumu embarked on his journey to Fuluo Star once again. He had been invited by Yu Chonglan to serve as an intern architect for the ARES team, a position that was expected to last about six months.
Without Ling Suyu's company this time, he felt very uneasy, but he knew that he had to take this step eventually.
Yu Chonglan once told him, "The architect's stage is the entire galaxy."
He cannot limit himself to the Emperor Star or the Anjiang Star.
Ling Suyu was reluctant to part with him, but she didn't say anything to stop him.
He wanted to be a cornerstone that Wen Shumu could always rely on, not a rope that held him back.
Ling Suyu originally planned to visit Wen Shumu every month until his six-month internship ended.
As it turns out, plans can't keep up with changes.
In the third month, when he went to Fuluo Star to visit Wen Shumu for the third time, Wen Shumu actually came back with him.
Ling Suyu looked at the Omega who couldn't even eat his favorite porpoise, and his face was even paler than Wen Shumu's.
It's terrifying to think about.
Wen Shumu was startled himself; he was too slow to notice, and it was Yu Chonglan who was the first to realize that something was wrong with him.
Fortunately, he learned very quickly, completing in three months the knowledge that others would take six months to absorb, without falling behind.
After returning to the Imperial Star, the entire manor was on high alert. Even Yuan Yuan was affected and dared not rush into Wen Shumu's arms as casually as before.
Ling Suyu went even further, not wanting Wen Shumu to walk the roads himself, wishing he could carry her wherever they went.
After learning the news, Jian You didn't reply for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly transferred several times more money to Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu than before, which was similar to his reaction after he learned that Yuanyuan had been adopted.
Late at night, Adolphus had just come out of the laboratory when he suddenly received a message on his terminal.
[Chien-Yu: How to be a good grandfather?]
[Adolphus: ???]
The last question Chien Yu asked him was "How to be a good father".
Before Adolphus could type, Jian You sent another message.
[Jian You: Never mind, you don't have two adorable little grandchildren, you wouldn't know.]
Adolphus paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.
He understood; Jian You had come to show off!
*
Time flies. When Ling Suyu celebrated his birthday again, the wedding photo hanging on the wall of the main hall on the second floor of the manor had been replaced with a new family photo.
In the photo, Yuan Yuan is wearing a little suit, her hair styled like a little adult, standing upright beside Wen Shumu. Wen Shumu's eyes are smiling, his hand on Yuan Yuan's shoulder. Ling Suyu is wearing a marshal's uniform, one arm around Wen Shumu's waist, the other holding a little dumpling.
The little dumpling has clear blue eyes like the sky, and her light brown hair is slightly curly.
Over the past year, Wen Shumu did not stay at the manor all day. He took the opportunity to pass the extremely difficult architect qualification exam. Yu Chonglan and Adolphus did not expect him to pass so quickly, because many people had been trying for several years without success.
Now that Wen Shumu has recovered, Yu Chonglan quickly sent him a new message, suggesting that he participate in the upcoming mecha architecture competition to be held on the Imperial Star. The participants are all young architects from across the intergalactic world.
For Wen Shumu, this competition was an important opportunity for him to make his official debut in the world of mecha.
Even if Yu Chonglan hadn't said anything, Wen Shumu was still planning to sign up. He had been studying on his own for so long, but he didn't know what level he was at. He desperately needed to use this competition to figure out his own abilities.
The news of Wen Shumu's participation in the competition spread like wildfire on the StarNet. No one expected him to pursue this career, and for a time, there was a lot of pessimism about him.
Ke Mo, Wen Wei, and others came to comfort him, little did they know that Wen Shumu didn't care at all. He had suffered a lot of unwarranted accusations when he first appeared in public, so these negative comments were nothing to him now.
Everyone watched as Wen Shumu made his way from the preliminary rounds to the finals. His solid theoretical knowledge, exceptional memory, and rapid data analysis skills silenced all those who had voiced their doubts.
On the day Wen Shumu won the championship, Ling Suyu sat in the audience, listening to the enthusiastic shouts of tens of thousands of spectators, and watched him lift the championship trophy.
Wen Shumu's gaze swept across the VIP audience seats, finally meeting those familiar blue eyes.
He smiled and ran towards Ling Suyu, rushing into Ling Suyu's arms amidst the gazes and applause of tens of thousands of people.
Thus, a genius architect emerged, and a new star shone in the world of mecha.
The match ended, and it was late at night when we returned to the manor.
Cen Zhuyuan was still awake and was sitting in the living room with Allison, waiting for them to come back.
"Daddy, Father!" Upon seeing them enter, the little boy, who had been dozing off, instantly perked up and jumped off the sofa.
Wen Shumu smiled and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Yuanyuan said, "I wanted to congratulate Daddy on winning the championship right away. Daddy is so amazing!"
Although he was still young, he knew how much effort Wen Shumu had put into this match.
Yuan Yuan proudly puffed out her chest: "I even put my little brother to sleep tonight."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu's smile deepened: "Yuanyuan is wonderful!"
Ling Suyu smiled faintly as he bent down and picked Yuanyuan up, just like when they first met on Fuluoxing.
"Now it's our turn to put Yuanyuan to sleep." Ling Suyu carried Yuanyuan and walked towards the children's room.
Wen Shumu followed behind with a smile.
After Yuan Yuan fell asleep, the two of them took a shower and lay down on the bed. Wen Shumu was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.
He found a comfortable position in Ling Suyu's arms as usual and closed his eyes contentedly.
In a hazy state, my forehead was lightly touched by cool lips.
Ling Suyu said gently, "Goodnight, Xiaomu."
Wen Shumu murmured, "Brother, goodnight too..."
After saying that, he fell asleep.
Ling Suyu chuckled softly and closed his eyes as well.
They had to get up early tomorrow, as the Emperor and Empress had invited Wen Shumu to a banquet at the Helios Palace to celebrate his victory.
A ray of soft moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains and fell quietly on the bedside table, landing precisely on a pair of clay figurines.
Two clay figures stand side by side, one with black hair and blue eyes, and the other with a head of flaxen brown curly hair.
Their hands were clasped together intimately.
Like two people sleeping in each other's arms in bed.
We will walk hand in hand on the long road of life ahead.
