Chapter 76 The Strawberry Cake Was Swallowed
"His Majesty told me many things. He and my mother are friends, and he's one of the few who knew of my existence." Ling Suyu chuckled. "He also said that he held me when I was little."
Wen Shumu was not surprised by this. He had also observed that His Majesty's attitude towards Ling Suyu had become more tolerant and loving, like that of an elder towards a younger person.
He inexplicably thought of Master Adolphus, perhaps because the master's attitude towards him also carried a similar feeling.
Speaking of which, Your Majesty is about the same age as the master, but looks more than ten years younger. Your Majesty takes good care of yourself.
Realizing he was getting carried away with his thoughts, Wen Shumu quickly focused and asked, "How did His Majesty recognize you later?"
Ling Suyu shifted his gaze to the window. The blue sky and white clouds, the warm sunshine, were just like the sky he saw when he learned about his origins from his hospital bed that day.
"Of course he wouldn't recognize me. It was just a small favor. He felt sorry for me and wanted to help me find my parents. He had a genetic test done while I was recovering, and I never expected that I would match my mother."
Wen Shumu raised an eyebrow slightly: "So 'Ling Suyu' is your original name?"
Ling Suyu nodded.
Wen Shumu rested his chin on his hand and murmured, "Su Yu..."
Alpha glanced at him instinctively, and the soft murmur, like a clumsy and reckless little bird, struck his unsuspecting heart.
"At dawn, the first rays of sunlight shine on the tranquil island, undisturbed by the hustle and bustle." Wen Shumu smiled. "The imagery of this name is beautiful; General Ling Yun must have put a lot of thought into it."
Ling Suyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, like the trembling tips of a butterfly's wings.
After a long while, he gave a gentle, light smile.
Wen Shumu stared wide-eyed, quickly cleared his throat, and asked, "Brother, your mother is General Ling Yun, so who is your father?"
I don't think I've ever heard of General Ling Yun getting married.
"I don't know either." Ling Suyu's smile faded slightly. "I don't know who he is, whether he's still alive, or whether he's already dead."
Seeing his displeasure, Wen Shumu immediately changed the subject: "Are you going out again later?"
Ling Suyu said, "No, I'll go out after your fever has completely subsided."
Wen Shumu's eyes sparkled like shattered diamonds: "Really! You mean you'll be with me for the next three days?"
His excitement also infected Ling Suyu.
Alpha smiled and nodded.
Wen Shumu was so happy he wanted to run laps!
I was able to spend three days at home with Ling Suyu without being disturbed by anyone!
He wanted to go back to his room right now!
Wen Shumu immediately slumped onto the sofa, feigning weakness, and said, "Oh dear, I suddenly feel a little dizzy."
Ling Suyu took the bait and leaned closer, his expression panicked: "Are you alright? I'll call the doctor over."
Wen Shumu raised his hand to his forehead: "No need to call a doctor. He's probably been out for too long and is a bit tired. He needs to go back and lie down."
Ling Suyu always granted his requests. Upon hearing this, he picked him up without hesitation, carried him out of the study, and headed towards the bedroom.
Of course, at Wen Shumu's request, he wanted to sleep in Ling Suyu's bedroom.
Wen Shumu buried his face in the Alpha's chest, a sly smile playing on his lips.

Being in the same room with his beloved Alpha, especially during his feverish period, Wen Shumu inevitably felt emotional and wanted to seek more comfort than just pheromones and hugs.
That's what he thought, but on the surface he appeared indifferent and without desire. He wore extremely conservative pajamas, covering himself up to only reveal his hands and feet, with gland patches neatly covering the back of his neck. He even took suppressants to prevent himself from acting impulsively.
I don't want my brother to be sad because of his scars anymore.
So... let's wait until we've eliminated these traces before taking any further steps.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
As summer approaches, the rain always comes so suddenly.
Rain began to fall at night, and a fierce wind roared past, carrying raindrops that pounded against the window, drowning out the chaotic sounds of breathing and the occasional sobs.
Wen Shumu planned to behave himself for the next three days, at most giving her a kiss.
But as soon as he lay down on the same bed and snuggled into Ling Suyu's arms, all the symptoms of his fever returned, making him wonder if he had taken a fake inhibitor.
Somehow, perhaps because of the tight embrace, or perhaps just a brief glance, the two ended up kissing.
This kiss was exceptionally intense.
Later, Wen Shumu was out of breath and could only cling tightly to Ling Suyu's strong back as if he were holding onto a piece of driftwood.
Every drop of blood in my body seems to be yearning for the person before me.
"Husband, I want to..." Wen Shumu's eyes filled with tears, and he suddenly choked up, "But... but I don't look good right now."
Ling Suyu tried to steady his breathing, his icy eyes reflecting the Omega's flushed face, his voice low and husky: "Beautiful, beautiful everywhere."
He leaned down and gently kissed Omega's cheek, then kissed away the tears that had fallen from his face.
They were both aware of each other's situation.
Stopping here requires immense willpower, but it's still achievable.
In a little while... who knows?
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Ling Suyu's forehead, and his eyes seemed to burn with fire, but he still patiently said, "The choice is in your hands."
"Baby, should we continue, or stop?"
Staring into those eyes, Wen Shumu felt completely ignited.
They actually called him that...
That's a foul! That's a huge foul!
He feels similar to when he was drunk, dizzy and disoriented.
My mind is filled with—
To hell with the whip marks! To hell with all your worries!
They're all married; it should have been done a long time ago!
He wants Ling Suyu, and he wants her now.
Silver moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, like the Milky Way falling upon the Omega.
Ling Suyu's gaze was focused and intense; he was waiting for a clear answer.
Not long after, he heard Wen Shumu's soft voice: "Continue..."
The snow that had been held back for years suddenly collapsed, rushing in with unstoppable force, swallowing the strawberry cake that had been carefully buried deep in the ice... in one gulp.

After the heavy rain, the weather cleared up.
Allison was sunbathing in the yard while watching a new melodramatic soap opera, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Seeing him so openly slacking off, Xiao Jin, who was passing by, couldn't help but ask, "Butler, have you finished your work?"
Allison didn't even look up: "It was already done a long time ago."
His main responsibilities, besides coordinating all affairs of the manor, were to serve the manor's owner.
However, he had not seen the marshal and his wife for three days.
Since the lady was in the midst of a fever and the marshal were staying together indoors, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to disturb them.
His main task these past few days has been to carefully select Omega nutrient solution to serve as a meal replacement for his wife, deliver it to her door, and occasionally urge the production progress of the custom-made 2.8-meter bed. That's all he has to do.
Allison seemed to have already sensed his retirement life, spending his days playing with cats and dogs and sending messages to his old friends from time to time.
Loren, who was extremely busy in the palace, was very envious and almost blocked him.
Suddenly, the terminal rang with the special ringtone he had set for the marshal, startling the butler who was engrossed in a melodramatic soap opera.
He answered the call immediately, and Marshal Ling's voice came through, instructing him not to send nutrient solution anymore, but to send dessert instead.
It seems that the lady no longer needs to eat meal replacements.
Allison was very sad that his "retirement" was about to end.
