A straight man transmigrates into an ABO world and upgrades his beauty by pretending to be an Alpha.

After leaving Lin Yanshu's residence, Shen Ruoyun quietly returned to the hospital. Lu Yan was still unable to be discharged, so she decided to say goodbye this time.

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Shen Ruoyun picked out sunflowers. He always felt that Lu Yan was a bit aloof and lacked human warmth.

He hopes the other person can be happier in the future, and that getting more sunshine like a sunflower is good for preventing osteoporosis.

When Shen Ruojun arrived, Lu Yan was still handling company business in the ward, and Yang Zhen was holding a large stack of documents.

With an IV drip still attached to the back of their hands, clear liquid was entering their bodies through the IV tube. As if they had heard a sound, the two turned around and looked in Shen Ruoyun's direction.

"You can go back first, just leave these here," Lu Yan said to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen nodded, placed the documents on the table beside him, glanced at Shen Ruoyun, and then hurriedly left the ward.

The ward fell silent, with only the faint sound of breathing.

Shen Ruoyun took a few steps toward him and handed him the sunflower, saying, "Here you go. I wish you a speedy recovery and good health."

Lu Yan looked at the bouquet of sunflowers, a slight smile curving his lips. He put down the documents in his hand, took the flowers with both hands, and placed them on the bedside table. "Thank you."

Shen Ruoyun sat down on the chair by the bed. "Have you felt unwell anywhere today?"

"No, everything is fine." Lu Yan shook his head. "Did you just get off work?"

He thought that since he had confessed his feelings to her, Shen Ruoyun would probably avoid him, but now it seems that she doesn't care much.

Lu Yan was happy, at least he could see Shen Ruoyun again instead of being strangers.

Shen Ruoyun glanced at the medicine and pressed the call button. "I might have to take a break from work for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan paused slightly, his gaze falling on Shen Ruoyun's face. He nodded in agreement, "Yes, if you feel tired, take a rest first."

Shen Ruoyun knew that Lu Yan had misunderstood him. She turned her gaze to the window. The leaves after the rain were very fresh, like newly sprouted buds.

"Lu Yan, let's go pick out a gift."

Lu Yan was somewhat confused, only feeling that Shen Ruoyun's idea was quite whimsical. "What gift?"

"Ah... it's about last time I said I'd give you shoes, but you said it was unlucky and told me to give you something else. Now that I have some time, let's go out for a walk."

"Now? Do you have other people with you?" Lu Yan's heart suddenly raced.

Once Shen Ruoyun puts something into practice, she will generally follow through on it, as long as she remembers it.

"Yeah, it's just the two of us, but we're only free tonight, we won't have the chance again."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Shen Ruoyun's words meant that she should keep her distance from him in the future.

The initial spark of liking vanished in an instant, like birds and beasts.

"Shall we go?" Shen Ruoyun leaned closer to Lu Yan, her bright eyes almost touching his.

The scent that belonged only to Shen Ruojun clung to Lu Yan like a hallucinogenic drug, as if trying to drag him into an abyss.

"Okay." It's always hard for people to say no to Shen Ruoyun, especially when they meet those sincere eyes.

Just as the IV drip finished, I called the nurse to remove the needle from my hand.

The two walked outside, and it was a little chilly because of the rain.

"You probably haven't eaten yet, right? What would you like to eat? It's on me." Shen Ruoyun was unusually generous.

Lu Yan looked around and pointed to the noodle shop not far away, "Can we have noodles?"

Shen Ruoyun followed his gaze and saw a very ordinary noodle shop, which could even be described as somewhat shabby.

I originally thought that someone like Lu Yan, who must have been pampered since childhood, would look down on such a small shop, and I was even planning to take him out for a big meal.

"Ahem, I still have money, no need to be frugal." Shen Ruoyun coughed lightly twice, unable to hold back her words.

Hearing his words, Lu Yan smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to eat noodles from that restaurant."

Shen Ruojun nodded, puzzled. "Okay, I'm a little hungry too."

The two entered the noodle shop, where the owner was very welcoming and they found a seat by the window.

After ordering the noodles, Shen Ruoyun looked out the window listlessly, while Lu Yan watched him quietly.

A moment later, the noodles were served. Shen Ruoyun took a big slurp and mumbled, "It's pretty good."

Lu Yan lowered his head and took a bite. The taste was similar to before, and he hadn't had it in a long time.

Shen Ruoyun took a spoonful of soup and drank it. It seemed somewhat familiar, so she took another spoonful.

Just then, Lu Yan's phone suddenly rang. Shen Ruoyun glanced at it subconsciously and saw that it was Ruan Huai calling.

"Hey."

"Brother, where did you go? Where did you disappear to?"

Lu Yan picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks and replied, "Eating noodles."

"Ah! Why are you stealing food? Where are you? Count me in!" Ruan Huai immediately became anxious and asked to join the team.

Lu Yan paused in his work, glanced at Shen Ruoyun, and, unusually patiently, coaxed her, "I'll bring it to you when we get back."

Fortunately, Ruan Huai was very easy to coax. Once he heard that someone would bring him food, he stopped complaining.

"Is this noodle shop a chain? I feel like I've eaten here before?" Shen Ruoyun buried her head and stuffed her mouth with noodles.

"Hmm, it tastes a lot like yours," Lu Yan responded softly.

Shen Ruoyun's eyes lit up, and she took another slurp. It really did look a bit like her own cooking.

Lu Yan looked up at him, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Did your mother teach you to do this?"

Shen Ruoyun looked up, still swallowing the noodles in her mouth, and asked, "Huh?"

"Junjun, is your mother Aunt Yuan Ruo?" Lu Yan's fingers slowly tightened as he sought confirmation.

Yuan Ruo? Shen Ruoyun searched her mind for the name, and it took her a long time to realize it.

Isn't Yuan Ruo the original owner's mother?! Shen Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lu Yan knew the original owner?

Her eyes darted left and right, subconsciously trying to think of a way to change the subject.

But then I thought, I'm about to leave this world, so there seems to be no need to hide it anymore.

"Hmm...uh...yes, I guess so."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Lu Yan's gaze lingered on Shen Ruoyun's face, remaining fixed on it for a long time.

Shen Ruoyun felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, and reached out to touch her face, wondering if there was something like scallions stuck to it.

Unfortunately, apart from smooth skin, he couldn't feel anything else. "W-what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry..." Lu Yan's voice was slightly trembling, as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.

Shen Ruoyun looked bewildered and somewhat flustered. "What are you talking about?"

“I should go see Aunt Yuan Ruo.” Lu Yan’s eyes were slightly red.

He was constantly reliving the past, torturing himself with self-reproach time and time again, even though those things weren't his fault.

Shen Ruoyun then realized what Lu Yan meant and carefully moved to his side.

“Ah Yan, this has nothing to do with you. Yuan… um… my mother’s bad life is because of that scumbag Shen Qi.”

It might be related to me. I used to have a genetic disease, and my appearance might not be well-received, so even Shen Qi didn't acknowledge me.

You have your own responsibilities to bear; your work and your younger brother both require you to spend a lot of energy and time.

So... don't be too hard on yourself about certain things; the consequences aren't your fault.

He gently covered his eyes with his hand and softly comforted him, "It's all over now."

As time gradually calmed down, Lu Yan felt the warmth of Shen Ruojun's palm and suppressed the soreness in his heart.

Shen Ruoyun slowly lowered her hand, and Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes, staring intently at him.

After finishing their noodles, the two left the noodle shop.

Because it rained today, there was some water on the ground, and the moonlight reflected off the ground, creating shimmering spots.

They walked slowly along the street, the osmanthus flowers by the roadside falling to the ground, the orange-yellow blossoms washed into the cracks.

The rich aroma filled my nostrils, and I suddenly remembered the osmanthus cake that Yang Qingtan made when I was a child. It was also quite delicious.

Shen Ruoyun took two steps back and jumped forward, grabbing the osmanthus branch above her head and pulling hard.

Suddenly, osmanthus blossoms mingled with raindrops and fell in a soft patter.

Shen Ruoyun reacted quickly, pulling her coat up to cover her and Lu Yan's heads.

The two were shrouded in darkness, their ears filled only with the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

The autumn wind rises, but the air is unusually hot.

Shen Ruoyun laughed so hard she trembled, then lifted her coat and shook the osmanthus blossoms off her head.

“Look, doesn’t it look like a rain of flowers?” he said, his voice particularly lively.

With a smile in his eyes, Lu Yan reached out and removed the osmanthus blossoms that hadn't fallen off his head, gently squeezing them into his palm.

There were quite a few people taking a walk in the evening, and there was a shopping district nearby, so Shen Ruoyun planned to take Lu Yan there for a stroll.

"Could you please get this for me?" Shen Ruoyun pointed to a pair of silver and black rings in the display case.

"Okay." The shop assistant smiled and took out the ring and placed it in front of the two of them.

This pair of rings features an alternating wide and narrow design, with a drip glaze finish that gives it a flowing look and a silvery edge that prevents it from appearing overly flashy.

Shen Ruoyun picked up one of the slightly wider ones and held it up to Lu Yan's index finger. "The size is just right."

Lu Yan's fingers are slender and long, smooth and translucent, but the veins on the back of his hands are a bit bluish.

Aside from his watch, he rarely wears other jewelry, which gives him a unique charm.

Shen Ruoyun pinched his index finger and slowly put the ring on it for him, looking at it from left to right, quite satisfied.

Then he quickly slipped the remaining narrow ring onto Lu Yan's ring finger.

When Lu Yan's skin touched the cool ring, his fingers involuntarily curled up, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.

Shen Ruoyun gently squeezed his wrist, "Don't move yet, let me see the effect."

Lu Yan could only let him do as he pleased, but his heart was beating faster involuntarily. Shen Ruoyun nodded in satisfaction, "So handsome."

But she still looked up and asked Lu Yan, "How is it? Do you like it?"

Lu Yan looked at the ring on his finger and said softly, "I like it very much."

Shen Ruoyun smiled and patted his shoulder, "Trust your father's judgment, he'll never be wrong."
