Chapter 65 Happy Birthday, Xiao Mu
Ling Suyu replied to the message immediately, saying that he had something to do and asked him and Wen Wei to go together.
Wen Shumu then felt relieved and followed Wen Wei.
They were on the 35th floor, and it would take some time to take the elevator to the 150th floor.
Once inside the transparent sightseeing elevator, Wen Wei pressed the button corresponding to her floor.
Wen Shumu stood by the glass, looking at the magnificent night view outside the window, and suddenly thought, "If only Ling Suyu could see it too."
If Ling Suyu were here too, that would be great.
"Sometimes, the fire of love burns even brighter when you're apart for a while," Wen Wei suddenly said.
Wen Shumu realized that Wen Wei had discovered his thoughts, and his face turned slightly red.
Although he and Ling Suyu were already married, they both lacked dating experience and were clearly inferior to Wen Wei in front of them.
Wen Wei and Ye Jingxi belong to different countries and have lived in different places for a long time, so they should have a deep understanding of this.
The undisturbed space of the elevator allowed Wen Shumu to lower his guard a little.
"But right now I just want to be with him all the time, it's uncontrollable."
Wen Wei's lips immediately curved into a knowing smile: "That means you like him very, very much."
"It's a pity the Marshal is a very busy man, and you can't really follow him to many of the places he goes." Wen Wei stroked his chin and squinted his eyes. "Since you have to be apart during the day, then make the most of the evenings and stick to him as much as possible."
The last three words were spoken with great elation by Wen Wei.
Wen Shumu roughly understood what "sticking to him" meant, and his face turned even redder.
"Ding-dong—"
The elevator doors opened, and a waiter from the restaurant was standing by the elevator, waiting to greet the guests.
Seeing Wen Shumu and Wen Wei come out, the waiter smiled and went forward to greet them, leading the two into the corridor.
After passing through a few corners, the restaurant doors were quietly open. Even though it was lunchtime, there wasn't a single customer around, and the restaurant itself seemed unusually quiet.
Although Wen Shumu found it a bit strange, he didn't think too much about it, just figuring out that this was how high-end restaurants should be.
Upon entering the main gate, they did not immediately proceed to the dining area. Instead, they first entered a circular hall with brown walls, golden ceiling lights, a dome adorned with hand-painted murals, and intricately textured warm-toned wood on both sides.
Wen Shumu walked along, looking up to admire the view. Wen Wei remained silent the whole way, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of a dark brown door.
When the two waiters saw them, they didn't rush to open the door, but instead raised their hands and knocked on it first.
Wen Shumu looked puzzled, but before he could think about it, the door slowly opened from the inside.
There were no overhead lights on inside; only a few neon lights from the city shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making it very dim.
The next second, strings of ribbon-like golden lights lit up, instantly filling the view with a galaxy of stars.
Wen Shumu's eyes widened slightly, and he stood there, stunned.
As the stars shifted, an Alpha, dressed in a well-fitting suit, embraced white flowers and smiled at him.
The stars paled in comparison at that moment, and Wen Shumu could only see Ling Suyu walking towards him.
Ling Suyu handed him the flowers and said softly, "Xiao Mu, happy birthday."
Wen Shumu subconsciously accepted the flowers.
He didn't know what his expression was like; several indescribable emotions were intertwined in his heart.
It was both sweet and sour, so full it felt like it was about to overflow.
"Thank you, thank you, brother... husband." Wen Shumu looked down at the flowers in his arms, his voice low, "I... I forgot it was my birthday today."
In the Wen family, after his mother and grandfather passed away, no one celebrated his birthday. To him, birthdays were no different from any other day, and he never cared about this day.
Last year, Allison gave him a birthday present and invited the top chefs on the planet to cook a lavish meal. Only then did he realize how important his birthday felt.
But my brother wasn't there that time either.
Wen Shumu suddenly dared not look up.
Because he saw a glistening water droplet on the pure white petal.
It just slipped off his face.
Wen Shumu tightened his lips and pursed them.
Why are you so weak? You never used to cry.
The lights are so dim, my brother probably didn't see it.
A sigh suddenly came from above.
Then, her chin was gently lifted by a pair of warm, large hands, and her fingers gently wiped away the tear stains remaining on Wen Shumu's face.
"Honey, look outside."
Ling Suyu gestured for him to look at the floor-to-ceiling window.
Wen Shumu followed Ling Suyu's gaze and looked over.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 150th floor, two mechs were hovering in the air.
Anyone who has watched the StarCraft Mech League will recognize these two mechs: the red one is Yan Zezheng's Chiyan, and the gold one is Hemaier's Shuxing.
The four mechanical arms of these two S-class and race-class mechs came together, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands.
Someone must have been directing them. The moment Wen Shumu looked over, both mechs flew in opposite directions, unfurling a banner at an altitude of over 700 meters:
Happy 23rd birthday to my sister-in-law, Wen Shumu! May everything go well for you, may your life be filled with happiness and longevity!
The golden mecha waved its empty right hand, making a heart shape in the air.
Wen Shumu immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
The red mech also raised its hand, but pointed indoors.
Wen Shumu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yan Zezheng was pointing it out to him.
He slowly turned around, and a projection of the universe lit up the ceiling inside the restaurant.
The vast universe unfolds before everyone, then shrinks closer, finally settling on a beautiful planet with a mix of blue and green.
A line of text popped up on the planet, and Wen Shumu stared at it, his pupils shrinking in shock.
It said on it—
"Owner: Wen Shumu"
Ling Suyu's voice rang in her ears: "When you were little, you always said you wanted to have a star in the sky. Back then, I couldn't give it to you, but now I can."
Wen Shumu froze, his gaze fixed on the planet, remaining silent for a long time.
A moment later, he turned to the side, his eyes slightly red at the corners, his light brown eyes filled with deep, affectionate tears.
This time, he didn't lower his head or dodge, but looked at Ling Suyu with utmost focus: "Brother... thank you. I don't know what to say to express my feelings, but I want you to know that this is the first time I've felt that my birthday can be such a happy day."
"All of this is because of you, because you are here..." Wen Shumu's voice trembled more and more, until he was almost speechless.
Ling Suyu reached out and hugged him tightly, her smile fading and her eyes revealing deep heartache.
"This is just the first time. You'll have many more birthdays to celebrate, and I'll be there for every one of them." Ling Suyu gently stroked his back.
Wen Shumu buried his face in the Alpha's neck and murmured a soft "hmm".
The overhead light suddenly turned on, illuminating everything in the room like daylight.
Wen Shumu lifted his head from Ling Suyu's embrace, his expression suddenly freezing.
All the guests of "Love's Star Journey" were present.
Wen Wei held Ye Jingxi's hand, looking at them with a touched expression. Jiang Xun had the same look in his eyes, and he was holding a small notebook in his hand, perhaps writing down new lyrics.
A faint smile appeared on Chu Zhao's face, while Ludwig, who usually grinned, had a complicated look in his eyes, seemingly containing a hint of... envy.
Also present were science directors, producers, PDs, Kim and Hek, among others.
Seeing that the birthday party's occupants had finally noticed them, Jiang Hong smiled and shouted loudly, "Brother Mu, happy birthday—"
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Everyone offered their birthday wishes and raised their confetti cannons. With a few loud bangs, streamers and sequins shot into the air, mingling with flower petals as they fluttered down.
