Chapter 9: I Want to Be With Him Forever
"Love's Star Journey" is a joint production of Imperial Star TV and Federal Soman Film and Television. Backed by two major cosmic forces, it has already garnered a lot of attention even before its official announcement.
The production team even held an anonymous poll on Weibo, dividing many big names that the public thought were impossible to invite into different groups of two people each. They arrogantly claimed that no matter which group won the most votes, the production team could invite them.
Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu are not on the voting list; they are considered mystery guests on the show and will not be revealed in advance.
Voting officially began after the program team contacted them. One group, due to a recent news story, maintained a commanding lead in votes from beginning to end.
Due to the high level of attention they received, this group became the first officially announced guest for "Love's Star Journey".
These two individuals are Chu Zhao from the Empire and Ludwig from the Federation, both of whom are outstanding mecha manufacturing experts.
With the same profession, the same age, both being Alphas, and even sharing the same birthday in the same month, the only difference being their nationality, it's inevitable that the public will frequently compare the two.
The two geniuses in the field of mecha manufacturing refused to admit defeat to each other, and over time they became bitter rivals.
There was some gossip about them last month.
The news caused quite a stir on the StarNet, and even Wen Shumu heard about it.
The incident stemmed from the fact that their 30th birthdays were approaching, and a brand of force field generators mixed up the birthday gifts they were sending to the two experts.
The postcard that Chuzhao received as a gift read:
"Dear Mr. Ludwig, you are like a peerless jewel shining brightly in the night, possessing unparalleled creativity and unmatched achievements. Only with you can the world of mecha have a future!"
Without saying a word, Chu Zhao took a picture of the postcard and posted it on Xingbo.
Not long after, Ludwig also posted a photo. The postcard he received was almost identical to the one from Chuzhao, except that the name was different.
The brand originally intended to praise the two experts while maintaining a neutral stance, but unexpectedly, it backfired spectacularly and sparked a huge public outcry online.
Netizens from both the Empire and the Federation are once again arguing fiercely about who is more powerful.
Therefore, when everyone saw that the guest voting list for "Love's Star Journey" put these two people together, they stopped arguing and started voting like crazy, waiting to see what would happen.
Wen Shumu looked at the 3D projection on the terminal in surprise: "The production team really invited them!"
Ling Suyu was also somewhat surprised.
He and Chu Zhao were fairly familiar with each other, and his 3S-class mecha, Liebing, was Chu Zhao's most satisfying masterpiece.
"Love's Star Journey" requires group travel, especially since the two people in the same group have to eat and live together the whole time. I don't know what the production team did to get Chu Zhao and Ludwig to agree to participate in the show.
The internet exploded with discussion, and "Love's Star Journey" topped the trending charts on major social media platforms, reaching number two.
Strictly speaking, the top trending topic, #ChuzhaoLudevig#, is also related to the show.
With such a sensational start, the public can't help but wonder which guests will be next.
As expected, the second group of guests officially announced their relationship on the spot.
【A Starry Journey of Love: Let's stroll through the stars with this sweet couple! @WenWei @YeJingxi】
Wen Shumu remembered the name Wen Wei. The emperor had mentioned Wen Wei in the comments he showed them at the palace that day. He was a famous painter in the empire, and some people said that he and Ling Suyu were a good match.
But what's going on now? Wen Wei has a boyfriend?!
Wen Wei's fans were also confused. Who is this Ye Jingxi who suddenly appeared?
Wen Shumu clicked on Ye Jingxi's homepage with the same question in mind. His personal profile had a line that read:
"Chief Physician of Neurosurgery, First Hospital of the Federal Capital".
However, it was followed by a few more words—"Wen Wei's Alpha".
These words must have been added recently, otherwise sharp-eyed netizens would have spotted them long ago.
Like idols, Wen Wei's fans are mostly from the Empire, so it's normal that they don't know Ye Jingxi. However, the people of the Federation are very familiar with this name.
Those hands, always gloved with white gloves, have saved countless lives, including that of the former Federal Commander. His superb medical skills earned him high praise from the old commander, and he became famous as a result.
Wen Shumu murmured, "Why was it announced together with the show?"
Ling Suyu was clearly much more patient with Wen Shumu's questions.
"It might be because of nationality. The Federation and the Empire have had constant friction in trade and politics. Although no major war has broken out, the people still harbor hostility towards each other. It is generally difficult for public figures from such two countries to receive the blessings of the public when they are together."
His guess was correct.
The reason they kept the announcement private was because they were both afraid of affecting each other's careers.
Now that we are at peace, there's no need to hide anything.

If the fans of the first two groups may be limited to their respective countries, then the fans of the third group of guests are several times larger than those of the first two groups.
Finally, a group of top celebrities from the entertainment industry have arrived.
The Jiang brothers, Jiang Xun and Jiang Hong.
Jiang Xun is an Alpha, 26 years old, a very popular singer-songwriter whose works have consistently topped the charts on major music apps on Xingwang.
Jiang Hong is 7 years younger than him, a young Omega who has only recently come of age. However, he debuted earlier than his older brother and is a well-known child star who has acted in many films and television dramas.
If it were just an official announcement of celebrity guests, the netizens' reaction might not be as enthusiastic as it is now. However, the Jiang brothers have been in the industry for many years but have never appeared on any variety shows, always maintaining a certain distance from the public. Therefore, no one expected them to participate in "Love's Star Journey".
Having seen it all before, the top-tier fans quickly organized a campaign to control the comments section of the Jiang brothers' official Weibo account after receiving the news.
It turned out that it was completely out of control, with the front row filled with surprised and expectant passersby.
Even before its premiere, "Love's Star Journey" has already generated a lot of buzz online with its official guest announcements, attracting even people who aren't interested in variety shows.
There were four groups of guests in total, and three have already been officially announced, so that leaves...
Wen Shumu suddenly became a little nervous, and his hand unconsciously tugged at the hem of Ling Suyu's shirt: "It's our turn."
Recalling the comments on the StarNet about their marriage, he could imagine the ensuing "bloodshed".
Ling Suyu knew what he was worried about, so she put her arm around his shoulder, gave it a light squeeze, and then quickly pulled away.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
Wen Shumu remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Alpha.
My breathing stopped for a moment, then became erratic.
The warmth on his shoulder vanished in an instant, but Ling Suyu's words kept echoing in his mind.
elder brother……
Only his older brother would say such things to him.
In this world, only Ling Suyu was willing to stay with him.
I must never let go of my brother.
Having spent most of his time in the legion, Ling Suyu's expression was always cold and stern. But now, facing Wen Shumu, he softened his expression as much as possible, smiled slightly, and turned to look at the terminal projection.
The moment his gaze shifted away, Wen Shumu's eyes changed, from a worried, fleeting look to an unwavering determination.
I want to be with Ling Suyu forever.
No one can stop it.
