Chapter 289 A Faraway Place
Chapter 289 A Faraway Place
When Shen Ruoyun woke up, it was already broad daylight. She was a little dazed, and several sparrows were hopping around in the yard.
He smoothed the tuft of hair on his head, turned around and glanced at the spot next to him; there wasn't a single wrinkle.
Judging from this, Lin Yanshu must have slept next door last night. He got out of bed and folded the quilt.
I glanced at the weather outside, and it seemed pretty good, so I decided to take the blankets outside to air them out.
Shen Ruoyun carried the quilt into the yard and draped it over the bamboo frame. Just then, she heard a noise at the door, which meant that Lin Yanshu must have returned.
He racked his brains and immediately crouched down and burrowed under the covers, trying to give Lin Yanshu a big fright.
Lin Yanshu was carrying vegetables when he entered the yard. He saw a quilt that was drying in the sun with a big bulge, and a pair of white and tender feet were sticking out from under the quilt.
He couldn't help but chuckle at Shen Ruoyun's self-deceiving behavior, sometimes finding her adorably silly.
Lin Yanshu pretended not to see and quietly walked into the house.
Shen Ruoyun waited in bed for a long time, but didn't hear the expected movement from Lin Yanshu. She was wondering about it when she quietly poked her head out.
The sunlight was so bright that he instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw Lin Yanshu standing in front of him with a smile.
Shen Ruoyun: "...", this makes me look like a clown.
Lin Yanshu pulled the person out of the blanket and reached out to tidy up his ahoge (cowlick).
"Brother Yanshu, where are you going so early?"
"I went to buy some groceries and will make you something to eat."
Shen Ruoyun's eyes lit up immediately. "Okay, what did you buy?"
"I'll make you a soup with scallops, salmon, dried bamboo shoots, and old duck meat later."
Just hearing this made Shen Ruoyun's mouth water, and she reached out and grabbed Lin Yanshu's hand.
"Wait for me to brush my teeth, I'll help you."
Shen Ruoyun rushed off to wash up. He likes to wash his face with hot water, so it looks a little red now.
Lin Yanshu washed a starfruit, cut it into even pieces, stacked them in a small fruit plate, and handed it to Shen Ruojun.
"Do you like this?"
Shen Ruoyun took the fruit plate, picked up a star-shaped piece of starfruit, and took a bite.
His eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, looking like he couldn't wait to eat it. "Delicious."
“There used to be a tree in my yard. I was a naughty kid and almost climbed it all down to its bare branches.” As he spoke, he stuffed a piece into Lin Yanshu’s mouth.
Lin Yanshu, with a starfruit in his mouth, paused for a moment, but still ate it.
But after reflecting on it, he couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.
Seeing his expression, Shen Ruoyun couldn't help but slap her thigh and laugh, "Hahaha... you've been tricked."
Lin Yanshu rubbed his forehead and explained weakly, "Sorry, the shopkeeper said this was very sweet, so I bought it."
"It's alright, sour things taste good too. Consider it an appetizer. Here, have another piece. You can eat a few more bowls of rice later." He reached out and took another piece, stuffing it into Lin Yanshu's mouth.
"Meow meow meow... 300 favorability points added, level 95. Host is truly a Red Hare among horses and Lu Bu among men!"
"Alright, here's a piece for you." Shen Ruoyun took out a piece and put it in Miao Chacha's hand.
"Thank you, host. You are beautiful inside and out." MeowChaCha3077 can eat almost anything except poop.
Shen Ruoyun touched its ears and found it quite amusing.
"Brother Yanshu, if one day, I mean, if..." Shen Ruoyun took a bite of the sour starfruit and asked tentatively.
Lin Yanshu stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Shen Ruoyun very seriously, and said, "Yes, go ahead."
Shen Ruoyun looked up at the other person, and when she met their eyes, she actually looked away for a moment.
"If one day I were to go to a very far away place and never come back, what would you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanshu's gaze fell upon his eyes, and he remained silent for a long time.
This left Shen Ruoyun a bit bewildered. He picked at his fingers; he tended to bite his fingers when he was nervous, which made him quite busy.
After a long silence, Lin Yanshu finally spoke, in an extremely serious tone.
"What if one day I go to a very far away place and you can never see me again? What would you think?"
Their eyes met, both of them cautiously probing each other. The sound of flowing water was faint, yet strangely jarring.
Shen Ruoyun thought for a moment, and suddenly felt a little sad. The star fruit in her hand began to taste bitter.
"I...I don't know."
Even though Lin Yanshu's assumption was the same as his own, he still felt that the matter was somewhat cruel, which made his heart ache.
Looking at his expression, Lin Yanshu gently patted his head. He didn't know where Shen Ruoyun was referring to as that faraway place, but he only wanted Shen Ruoyun to be healthy and happy.
"You are free to go wherever you want. If that day ever comes, remember to say goodbye to me properly."
Shen Ruoyun turned her head and nodded subconsciously, "Yes, I will."
"If you feel the same way, you have to tell me too..."
Lin Yanshu didn't respond, and finished cleaning the ingredients in front of him. "Junjun, could you please get me some vermicelli from the cupboard upstairs?"
Upon hearing that the other party wanted her help, Shen Ruojun quickly opened the cupboard and began looking for something.
After lunch, Shen Ruoyun went back to the company by herself; she had quite a lot of work to do lately.
He had heard Miaochacha say that the money he earned here could be taken back to his original world.
He needs to save some money while he still has some time.
When he returns to his original world to study, his coffers will be overflowing with money, and he could practically live off it.
The thought of a life where food is served to one's mouth and clothes are done for one's hands makes me feel incredibly happy.
However, thinking about it, Lin Yanshu's words made a lot of sense. He would have to say goodbye to his good brothers in this world properly, even though some of them could no longer be considered good brothers.
This world is too dramatic; in his view, it's just a giant Wanchai Ferry Pier.
The thought of being dominated by a man, and possibly even having to bear his child, sent chills down his spine.
I subconsciously pinched my belly, and instantly imagined myself with a big belly, struggling even to go to the toilet.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my forehead. I raised my hand to wipe it, and wow, my hand was covered in sweat.
However, Shen Ruojun's thought process was somewhat peculiar, and a thought flashed through her mind in an instant.
He immediately pulled out his phone, opened the search bar, and quickly typed in a string of text: "[Can an omega get an alpha pregnant?]"
However, the result was quite disappointing for Shen Ruojun; an omega could not impregnate an alpha.
Because the alpha's reproductive cavity has atrophied and it no longer has the function of reproduction.
Moreover, the chance of an omega getting pregnant is only one percent, and that chance is only possible between two omegas.
It's obvious that the chances of getting his best friend to have a child for him are almost zero.
Shen Ruoyun carefully placed Xiaoyunyun back in her arms, then sighed with a melancholy expression. If he had stayed in this world, this precious child would truly have been nothing more than a decoration.
He turned around to wash his hands, brushed his bangs aside, and looked at himself with a determined expression. It seemed he had no reason to stay in this world anymore.
Hesitation only leads to more trouble. Anyway, once he leaves, these people won't remember him. Let's just treat it as a dream.
In this world, Shen Ruojun will become a gentle breeze, stirring the wind chimes on the eaves, carrying their clear sound to the ends of the earth.
Lu Yan was going through a very difficult time. He still went to that exhausting job every day, but he thought about Shen Ruoyun very often.
He had thought about it before, but it was particularly strong lately. He felt it was related to being marked, and the doctor said that a mark could only last for a few months.
He could feel the strangeness in his body; he loved Shen Ruoyun, so his body was particularly attached to her.
He knew that the other person didn't seem to have those feelings for him, and he began to feel self-loathing.
It seems like he's not everyone's first choice.
His parents, who said they loved him, are dead; his aunt, who liked him, is also dead; and there's also Aunt Yuan Ruo, who cooked for him.
They treated him as if he were a plague god, avoiding him at all costs.
He wondered if he wasn't good enough, which was why he was abandoned in this world.
In front of others, Lu Yan seemed rather aloof, but in reality, he was extremely timid.
It seems that he has little room for error in anything; once he misses an opportunity, there will be no more chances.
So he would act like a sensitive cat, tentatively extending his paws, and then timidly retracting them if he sensed something was wrong.
"Brother? Why are you slacking off at work?" Ruan Huai's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Lu Yan finally snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Ruan Huai, "Have you finished reading?"
After thinking it over for a while, Lu Yan also felt that his workload was indeed too heavy, so he decided to find a successor.
As a result, Ruan Huai, who had been idling around all day, was dragged back to the company. Lu Yan planned to train him and then become a hands-off boss.
Ruan Huai scratched his head, glanced cautiously at Lu Yan, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I don't understand."
Lu Yan remained expressionless, seemingly unsurprised by his answer.
He took the documents from his hand, marked a few places, and said, "Go find Yang Zhen."
Holding the documents, Ruan Huai looked exhausted. "Brother, maybe we should just sell the company? Making so much money is useless."
Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You spendthrift! If your aunt finds out, she'll be the first to come after you."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai felt a chill run down his spine.
He quickly muttered to himself, "Take my brother's life if you must, don't take mine."
"Just ask my brother about the dream-related matter; he's more capable. I can't complete the tasks you've assigned."
Looking at him like this, Lu Yan felt a sense of disappointment and frustration. "What are you going to do after selling the company?"
Ruan Huai stared wide-eyed at Lu Yan in disbelief.
"Then you should just lie down and relax. You have so much money you could never spend it all in several lifetimes."
"I can just eat and sleep, and go shopping whenever I want. Why do I have to work this lousy job? I don't understand..."
Thinking of this, Ruan Huai suddenly laughed out loud, "If I sell the company, I can get a lot of money. Then I'll use that money to marry Brother Yun, hahaha... hiss..."
Ruan Huai was so engrossed in his own beautiful fantasy that he couldn't pull himself out.
however…
“He’s an omega,” Lu Yan said bluntly.
Ruan Huai's expression froze instantly, and he said stiffly.
"Even if he's an omega, I still like him! And didn't you like him when he was an alpha?"
Lu Yan chuckled, his tone somewhat cold, "If he stays with you, he'll have no descendants."
As it turns out, time is indeed a giant boomerang.
At some point in the future, it will pierce your heart in an extremely cruel way.
Ruan Huai seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and her voice lowered, "I know... but I just can't help liking him. I think love should not be divided by gender, and if I'm not suitable, you're even less suitable."
Lu Yan turned his head, his expression not good. "Why? If I'm not suitable, then who do you think is?"
“You have kidney deficiency, you won’t make it. You can’t give Yun Ge happiness.” Ruan Huai picked up the milk tea next to him and took a big sip.
Lu Yan: "..."
After a while…
Yang Zhen pushed a large stack of documents in front of Ruan Huai and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mr. Lu said that if the matter can't be resolved today, your staff meals will be temporarily suspended."
Looking at the pile of documents, Ruan Huai was on the verge of tears, wailing, "Assistant Yang, there are just too many! Even if I were Nezha, I couldn't finish dealing with them all!"
Yang Zhen glanced at him, his face expressionless. "This is what President Lu instructed. Of course, President Ruan can also choose not to do it."
Seeing his arrogant and domineering manner, Ruan Huai was so angry that his wisdom teeth ached, but he still maintained a very imposing aura.
"That's ridiculous. Do you think I'm afraid of him? I'm a major shareholder with 10% of the company's shares."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, if I stomp my foot right now, the whole of City A will tremble a few times, do you believe me?" As he said this, his back straightened up instantly.
Yang Zhen saw the ugly face of this capitalist, but remained calm and glanced down at his phone.
"Mr. Ruan, Mr. Lu asked me to tell you that from today onwards, you will have to go home by yourself. The driver will no longer provide pick-up and drop-off services, and you will no longer be provided with a vehicle. Please be aware of this."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai instantly exploded!
"Why should I?! How am I supposed to get back without a car? It's ten kilometers, does he expect me to crawl back?"
10:35 PM
Ruan Huai, carrying his little yellow duck backpack, emerged from the company building looking pale and sickly.
The little head looked left and right, then slowly walked in a certain direction.
Then he quietly took out his phone, ready to scan the shared bike in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Ruan, did you just get off work?" A junior assistant who had just finished get off work walked past him and greeted him politely.
Ruan Huai was startled and immediately put his phone in his pocket, coughing twice involuntarily to try to cover up his embarrassment.
"Ah...cough cough...yes, I was dealing with some documents, so it's a bit late."
