Chapter 66 I want a kiss
Looking at all these people, Wen Shumu seemed to have a thousand words in his eyes.
Yan Zezheng and Hemaier, who were just outside unfurling banners, also parked their mechs on the rooftop and rushed into the hall.
Wen Shumu smiled toward the crowd, his eyes sparkling like shattered diamonds: "Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday. Thank you to each and every one of you."
The meticulously arranged venue, props, birthday celebration activities... all of these need to be prepared by them privately.
Wen Shumu never imagined that so many people would gather together to celebrate his birthday.
He looked at Wen Wei: "Was Wen-ge's invitation also part of your birthday plans?"
Wen Wei smiled brightly: "Yes and no. My task is to lead you to the restaurant, but I also really want to invite you to go shopping together."
Hermeyer and Yan Zezheng had clearly run down, their hair still disheveled from the wind.
Hermeyer asked smugly, "Madam, what do you think of our banner?"
Wen Shumu smiled and said, "It's excellent."
While Wen Shumu was talking to the others, Ling Suyu didn't say anything, but her hand was still tightly on Wen Shumu's shoulder.
It's as if he's telling everyone that this is his Omega.
The lighting changed again, and a spotlight fell on the piano against the wall and the standing microphone next to it.
Ye Jingxi sat upright behind the piano, while Jiang Xun held the microphone stand in his hand.
Joyful notes flowed from Ye Jingxi's fingertips, and Jiang Xun sang a birthday song for Wen Shumu, accompanied by romantic piano music.
The lights flickered rhythmically in sync with the music, casting a soft pink hue on everyone's faces.
The waiter brought in the birthday cake at just the right moment.
Wen Shumu's eyes widened as he stared at the six-tiered birthday cake, which was more than half a person tall. The cake was decorated with elaborate patterns of cream and adorned with hundreds of strawberries.
With the table used to transport the cake included, Wen Shumu roughly estimated that the top layer of the cake reached about his chin.
After the birthday song ended, amidst applause, Ling Suyu said gently, "Xiao Mu, make a wish."
Wen Shumu glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
I hope for interstellar peace, and for no war.
In this way, Ling Suyu wouldn't have to face those dangerous situations.
I also hope that my brother won't get hurt, that he'll be safe and sound, and that I can stay by his side forever.
I will never leave.
The top layer of the cake had candles inserted.
Wen Shumu opened his eyes, moved closer to the candle, and the warm candlelight reflected in his eyes, swaying gently, as if responding to his wish.
After the candles were blown out, a lively cheer and applause erupted, and a waiter handed over a cake knife.
After taking the knife, Wen Shumu didn't rush to cut it. Instead, he turned to Ling Suyu and invited, "Shall we cut it together?"
Ling Suyu smiled and nodded, standing to the side and behind Wen Shumu, holding his right hand, and together they slid the cake down from top to bottom.
After the birthday person makes the first cut, the rest of the cake-cutting is left to the waiter.
After the ceremony, the lively party truly began.
Everyone raised their champagne glasses to once again wish Wen Shumu a happy birthday.
Jiang Hong is still young and can't hold his liquor. After just one glass of champagne, his face turned red and his mind went blank. He insisted on singing like Jiang Xun and wouldn't let go of the microphone stand.
Jiang Xun had no choice but to sit down at the piano and accompany him, while Jiang Hong sang a popular anime theme song that was all the rage among elementary school students across the galaxy.
Towards the end of the song, Wen Shumu lowered his head, unable to suppress the laughter. Wen Wei, Hemaier, and Ludwig were laughing hysterically, while only Ling Suyu remained relatively calm.
As the song ended, Ye Jingxi wiped away Wen Wei's tears of laughter: "Even brothers have their own strengths."
He was being too polite.
Chu Zhao said quietly, "Brother sings so well, but younger brother's singing is so bad it could send people away."
Despite being mentally unstable, Jiang Hong actually understood: "You think I sing badly? Then I'll dance. I dance better than I sing."
His mature beyond his years persona collapsed in an instant.
Although the show didn't broadcast it live, cameras were recording the entire party.
Jiang Xun was afraid that his younger brother would break down if he saw the video later, so he dragged him away.
No sooner had she stepped off the stage than Jiang Hong set her sights on Yan Zezheng, her eyes sparkling as she clung to the red-haired Alpha's arm, demanding his autograph on her clothes.
This time, Jiang Xun couldn't pull him away no matter what he did. Yan Zezheng was being held by an Omega like this, and he couldn't push him away forcefully, so his face was stiff.
Wen Wei and Ke Mo stepped forward to help.
The scene became extremely chaotic for a moment.
Wen Shumu, however, became happier the more he looked at it.
In the past, he always thought that having many people meant noise and irritability, and that it was best to be alone in peace and quiet.
Later, when he reunited with Ling Suyu, he didn't want to be alone anymore; the best time was with Ling Suyu.
This has once again refreshed our understanding; it's nice to have something so lively like this once in a while.
It was late at night when the event ended, and a line of luxurious hovercars parked at the entrance to take the guests home.
After everyone got into their cars and left, Wen Shumu followed Ling Suyu into the last black hovercar with a giant whale logo.
He was still holding the white flowers that Ling Suyu had given him.
"The shape of this flower is so unique. This one is like a heart, and that one has a pointed tip, like a not-so-sharp arrow."
"Calla lily," Ling Suyu told him about the variety of flower.
Wen Shumu didn't recognize the calla lily. His knowledge of flowers was limited to the famous flowers that the Wen family cultivated for Wen Boshuang, all of which were brightly colored and almost none were as pure white as this.
These are flowers his brother gave him.
Wen Shumu became increasingly delighted as he thought about it.
He suddenly remembered that the epiphyllum and the jewel rose both had their own symbolic meanings, so did the calla lily have one too?
Thinking of this, Wen Shumu immediately searched for the three words "calla lily" on his terminal.
Ling Suyu was also using a terminal, monitoring the movements of the border monsters through a unique military liaison channel.
The movements of the strange beasts have become increasingly unpredictable lately, unlike the usual seasonal patterns, so we must remain vigilant at all times.
As I was looking at it, someone suddenly tugged at the hem of my clothes.
Ling Suyu looked down and saw slender fingers pinching the hem of his clothes and rubbing it between his fingertips.
He looked up, and the owner of the finger looked at him with exceptionally intense eyes.
Wen Shumu's emotions surged like a turbulent tide, beginning the moment he stepped into the restaurant and saw Ling Suyu. Despite the presence of outsiders, he tried to suppress his feelings, yet he knew clearly that the tide was about to burst its banks and become uncontrollable.
According to StarNet, the white calla lily symbolizes... unwavering love until death.

Back at the hotel, the two took showers and lay down on the bed at around 11:50, just ten minutes before midnight.
Ling Suyu had just turned off the lights when he suddenly heard Wen Shumu speaking softly.
In the quiet of the night, even the faintest Omega voice was crystal clear to Ling Suyu's ears.
"Brother, before this day ends, I want another birthday present." Wen Shumu lay on his side facing Ling Suyu.
Upon hearing this, Ling Suyu turned around as well. Under the cover of night, his gaze became unrestrained, freely outlining the silhouette of the person opposite him.
"What do you want?"
He was a little uneasy. Although he had tried his best to prepare, there might still be something he had overlooked or neglected about Xiao Mu's thoughts.
The two were already very close, but Wen Shumu moved forward a couple more times until their breaths mingled.
"I want... a kiss."
