Chapter 64 Those destined to meet will eventually meet.
One important reason for the widespread use of interstellar mechs is the advanced space technology. Class A and above combat mechs are equipped with space buttons, making it convenient for the mech's owner to carry them with them.
Seeing Wen Shumu's surprised expression, Ling Suyu smiled slightly and handed him the spatial button.
Wen Shumu held the small, capsule-like object in both hands, and couldn't help but pick it up and look at it from left to right, even gently shaking it in his hands.
"Is the ice rift inside?"
Chu Zhao smiled and pointed to the white button on the space button: "Yes, press here to release it."
Wen Shumu didn't press it, but carefully returned it to Ling Suyu.
This thing looks very expensive.
Before leaving, Chu Zhao said, "Keep an eye on S-grade ice-attribute beast cores. I've been working with the architect on a new weapon recently."
Ling Suyu nodded to indicate that he understood.
It was still early when I left the lab, and perhaps because of the good landscaping at Narentis University, the air seemed fresher than elsewhere.
Wen Shumu was in a good mood, a refreshing smile on his face, and he jumped down the steps of the courtyard building in a few steps.
"Slow down." Ling Suyu was afraid he would fall.
Wen Shumu's smile deepened as she turned to look at him: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Ling Suyu stepped down the stairs and walked to Wen Shumu's side: "No, I'm resting this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu's eyes lit up: "Can we cook dinner ourselves later?"
Ling Suyu glanced sideways: "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat..." Wen Shumu lowered his voice, "roasted porcupine beast."
Ling Suyu paused for a moment, then met the Omega's smiling eyes. After a while, a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, I'll cook for you."

Heck escorted the marshal and his wife to the hotel. Standing in the corridor, he suddenly received new instructions—to inspect the delivered ingredients.
An oval-shaped robot appeared at the end of the corridor, its feet on wheels, and quickly moved to Hek's side. Its abdomen popped open, revealing a large bag of ingredients.
There were personnel in the guards specifically responsible for checking the safety of the food. Heck immediately called him over, opened the bag for a thorough inspection, and only after confirming that it was safe did he knock on the door and deliver it to the marshal.
The hotel suite was equipped with a kitchen and a spacious terrace. To avoid too much smoke from cooking indoors, Ling Suyu moved the barbecue grill to the terrace and started grilling meat after preparing the ingredients.
Wen Shumu's main job is to skewer the meat, hand it to the "head chef," and then wait to be fed.
He stared intently at Ling Suyu.
Alpha rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his powerful forearm. The marshal, who was unapproachable to outsiders, was now wearing an apron and cooking his wife's favorite food.
If those media outlets were to capture this scene, it would probably top the trending search lists on various platforms.
The aroma of meat wafted over on the night breeze, and Wen Shumu's stomach rumbled twice in agreement.
After grilling a skewer, Ling Suyu handed it over: "Blow on it to cool it down, don't burn yourself."
Wen Shumu immediately took it, symbolically blew on it a few times, and then ate the top piece of meat in one gulp.
The outer skin is crispy, the meat inside is tender and delicious, the seasoning is well absorbed, and the aroma of meat is wrapped with a faint charcoal fragrance, leaving a lingering aftertaste after swallowing.
Ling Suyu watched him chew the meat, looking somewhat nervous, until Wen Shumu said, "Super delicious," at which point she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"The tools are different from what I used before, I wonder if the taste has changed..."
"Nothing's changed! It's still just as delicious!"
Ling Suyu smiled, the icy look in his eyes melting into a gentle lake. Seeing that he had finished eating, he handed him another skewer.
Wen Shumu said, "Brother, you should eat too."
Seeing that Ling Suyu's hands were occupied and it was inconvenient for him, he picked up a string of skewers and brought it to Ling Suyu's mouth to feed him.
Ling Suyu was very restrained. He was busy grilling meat and only ate one bite. The rest of the skewer went into Wen Shumu's mouth.
Wen Shumu suddenly remembered that he didn't know when they would return to the Imperial Star, and asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"
Ling Suyu paused in his grilling, his eyes flickering slightly: "I'm not leaving tomorrow, I'll leave the day after tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Thinking that Ling Suyu had some other work arrangements, Wen Shumu didn't ask any further questions.
Ling Suyu looked up at him, and suddenly her eyes curved into a smile.
Wen Shumu had sauce smeared around his mouth; he was so engrossed in eating that he looked like a little cat covered in sauce.
Ling Suyu smiled, took out a tissue, and personally wiped it clean for him bit by bit.
Wen Shumu looked up, his face upturned, and a gentle light gathered in Alpha's light brown eyes.
Moonlight streamed through the dilapidated huts on the desolate planet, eventually illuminating the terrace of a luxury hotel suite on Narentis.
Fate may take many turns, but no matter how far apart they are, or in what wonderful or even absurd ways, those destined to meet will eventually meet again.

The heavy smog that plagued the days of the competition has completely disappeared, and the weather is just as good as yesterday.
With no scheduled activities, Wen Shumu slept until he naturally woke up, not getting up until almost noon.
Ling Suyu went to a meeting at the military headquarters again, leaving him alone in the room.
Since he had nothing else to do, he simply packed all the luggage he could carry so he wouldn't be in a rush when he left.
I had just filled a suitcase when there was a knock on the door.
Wen Shumu ran to the living room and opened the door. Beta, wearing a beret, gave him a bright smile, her orange-brown hair underneath fluffy and smooth.
"Mr. Wen, what brings you here?" Wen Shumu asked in surprise.
Wen Wei laughed and said, "We've been recording shows together for so long, why are you still calling me 'sir'?"
"Well... Brother Wen," Wen Shumu smiled and stepped aside to let you in, "come in. I thought you had already left."
Wen Wei's eyes flashed, then she blinked casually and said slowly, "Wasn't I just doing some research? Mech cities like Narentis are quite unique, so I wanted to stay a few more days."
After he sat down, Wen Shumu poured him a cup of black tea.
"Thank you." Wen Wei explained her purpose, "I'd like to go see the Fulai Building. It's the tallest building on Narentis Star. Jing Xi has something come up, and I don't want to go alone, so I came to ask if you would like to come with me?"
Since he wasn't leaving until tomorrow and there wasn't much else to do, Wen Shumu readily agreed.
He glanced down at his pajamas, smiled sheepishly, and said, "I'll go change first."
While shopping yesterday, Xiao Jinfei said he was too free and asked Wen Shumu to look for him more.
Wen Shumu then sent him a message.
Xiao Jin arrived quickly. Upon learning that he was going out with Wen Weiyi, she took out a set of casual clothes, a white shirt with a knitted vest over it, and even tidied up his curly hair.
"She looks just like a fresh-faced college student," Wen Wei remarked from the side.
Wen Shumu felt a little shy under his gaze, touched his hair, and straightened his collar: "Let's go."
The Fulai Building is located near the shopping area that Wen Shumu visited yesterday. It is 785 meters tall with 150 floors and integrates offices, sightseeing and commerce. It is a landmark building of Narentis Star.
Wen Shumu spent the afternoon with Wen Wei, visiting many art studios and galleries, and seeing many imaginative artworks, which broadened his horizons considerably.
I've only been to a few floors; I haven't been to most of them yet.
Confined in the dark gallery, Wen Shumu stepped outside into the long corridor and discovered that night had already fallen, with the towering buildings ablaze with lights.
Wen Wei rubbed her stomach: "I'm so hungry. I heard the restaurant on the rooftop is pretty good. Shall we grab a bite before we go?"
Wen Shumu hesitated and said, "Let me ask... my husband."
He was afraid his brother was still waiting for him to come back for dinner.
Wen Shumu popped up his terminal, typed a message, and didn't notice Wen Wei's ambiguous gaze beside him.
