Chapter 58 Don't Cry, Wife
Wen Shumu rested his chin on Ling Suyu's shoulder, staring blankly at the door not far away, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He suspected he was hallucinating.
After a moment, Wen Shumu said, "Could you call it again?"
Alpha's gentle voice rang in my ears once more.
"Wife, Xiaomu, wife..."
As if to make up for the missing response, Ling Suyu called out several times.
The cool, refreshing scent mingled with the aroma of wine. Wen Shumu knew that Ling Suyu must be a little drunk, otherwise why would he suddenly be so direct and... seductive?
My heart was pounding like thunder, but my eyes were inexplicably sore and painful.
He had called Ling Suyu "husband" many times and clamored to be Ling Suyu's wife, but he never dared to imagine the scene of Ling Suyu calling him wife.
Because I can't imagine it.
Now... he doesn't need to imagine anymore.
Wen Shumu bit his lip, trying to stop the tears welling up in his eyes, but perhaps he bit too hard and hurt himself. The tears turned into real water droplets and rolled down.
He raised his hands, his movements slightly slow, and responded to Ling Suyu's embrace with trembling hands, burying his face deep in his chest and wrapping his arms around his back with all his might.
This is his Alpha, his lover.
After being hugged back by Wen Shumu, Ling Suyu's eyes lit up with a smile. She wrapped one arm around his waist and gently placed the other hand behind his head, stroking his slightly curly hair.
It's unclear how much time passed before the two slowly parted ways.
Stepping out of Ling Suyu's embrace, Wen Shumu hurriedly turned around, afraid that he would notice her slightly red eyes, and said, "Tomorrow is the last day of the preliminary round, and I have to go to the venue early in the morning. Brother, go take a shower and get some rest."
Ling Suyu chuckled, "It's already past midnight, it should be today."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as he moved, as if sensing something was wrong, Ling Suyu stopped and looked down at his chest, where there were a few inconspicuous water stains on his shirt.
This spot... Xiaomu just posted it here.
Ling Suyu frowned, turned around abruptly, and saw Wen Shumu rubbing his eyes.
Omega's curly hair was incredibly cute, with moist, reddish corners of its eyes and a delicate pink tinge on the tip of its nose.
"Why are you crying?" Ling Suyu rushed forward, his voice trembling with panic. "Xiao Mu, did I...do something wrong?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked; once he did, Wen Shumu's tears, which he had already stopped, welled up again.
Ling Suyu panicked completely.
The marshal, who remained calm and moved freely amidst hundreds of thousands of alien beasts, now looked tense, embracing his Omega once more and awkwardly coaxing him.
"Don't cry, honey, be good..."
Wen Shumu had too many grievances she wanted to tell Ling Suyu, but found it difficult to say them.
No one used to care about his tears. After realizing this, he hardly cried anymore, and remained silent even when being whipped with a rattan cane.
But that doesn't mean he wasn't upset.
Wasted years in the Wen family, unspeakable whip marks on his body, and uncertainty about the future...
All the pent-up grievances burst forth at this moment, like a river bursting its banks.
But it only lasted a short while. Wen Shumu was used to restraining himself, and soon stopped sobbing.
As the person in his arms gradually calmed down, Ling Suyu bent down, hooked his legs, picked him up, carried him into the bedroom, and gently placed him on the bed.
After Wen Shumu sat down on the edge of the bed, the Alpha in front of him knelt on one knee, raised his head, and looked at him intently from a slightly upward angle.
"I've never been in a relationship," Ling Suyu said seriously. "And I've never thought about marrying anyone. I know I'm slow to understand relationships; it will take me some time to process them."
He reached out and took Wen Shumu's hand, looked down at it for a moment, then lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on its palm. When he looked up again, his gaze was focused to the point of devotion.
"If I do anything wrong, Xiaomu, you must tell me."
Through those icy blue eyes, Wen Shumu saw himself clearly.
He sniffed, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Since entering military school, Ling Suyu has never slept in; he always wakes up at the crack of dawn and gets up immediately.
He woke up very early again today, but for the first time ever, he lay motionless in bed.
The Omega in my arms was sleeping soundly, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.
Ling Suyu stared at it for a long time, then couldn't help but lower his head and quietly kiss his fair cheek.
After the kiss, even though he hadn't been discovered, the marshal who had stolen a kiss from his wife blushed slightly.
Just then, a message popped up on the terminal, temporarily diverting Ling Suyu's attention.
The gaze shifts to the projection in the air, which is Allison.
[Allison: Marshal, there's something I need to remind you. May 20th is your wife's 23rd birthday, it's coming up soon.]
Allison was afraid the Marshal wouldn't remember, so he sent a message early in the morning to remind him.
To everyone's surprise, the marshal replied instantly after I sent it.
Ling Suyu: I know.
When Wen Shumu introduced himself, he mentioned that he was almost 23 years old. After the interview, Ling Suyu immediately went back and checked Wen Shumu's birthday.
At this time last year, they had just gotten married when a horde of monstrous beasts came surging from the border. He was still out there fighting off the beasts and had no idea that his new wife was Little Dot. He missed Wen Shumu's 22nd birthday.
Ling Suyu remained calm, but his mind was racing as he thought about how to celebrate Xiaomu's birthday.
He only celebrated the birthday of one person, the Emperor, at a birthday banquet where all the officials offered their congratulations. Even the gift was chosen by Allison. His experience in this area can only be described as meager.
……
Last night, Wen Shumu stayed up until the early hours of the morning waiting for Ling Suyu, and missed her alarm. When she woke up, it was already past eight o'clock.
He let out a wail, jumped out of bed, rushed to wash up and get dressed, and was ready to go out in less than ten minutes.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Ling Suyu was sitting at the dining table, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if he were thinking about something.
Breakfast was already laid out on the table.
Wen Shumu took a piece of bread: "Brother, why didn't you wake me up? I almost overslept."
"You slept too late last night, I wanted you to sleep a little longer." Seeing him come over, Ling Suyu's expression relaxed and he smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on the time. If you're not up by 8:30, I'll wake you up."
Wen Shumu laughed along, continuing to eat.
After they finished eating, the car arrived at the hotel and took them to the competition venue.
Today is Wen Shumu's last day "working" in the league. Besides Anita, he also got to know several young colleagues in the reception team.
One of the Betas, Chang Ye, was a student, a senior in college who had no classes and was here for an internship.
Coincidentally, he was also a student at Narentis University, majoring in statistics, and aspired to become a mecha data analyst.
Upon learning that Wen Shumu was going to visit Master Adolphus's laboratory after the afternoon's competition, Chang Ye's eyes widened in admiration. He said enviously, "It's said that they have the most advanced manufacturing technology in interstellar space. Many people dream of going in and seeing it."
He then suggested with a smile, "Our school is quite big and beautiful. If you have enough time, you can stroll around inside after you've finished visiting the labs."
Wen Shumu nodded thoughtfully.
Where we go doesn't matter, what matters is... being with Ling Suyu.
