It just so happened that Ou Renjin's birthday was coming soon. Ou Shaowen had been thinking about buying him a gift several days in advance, but he didn't want to let him know. He called Uncle Li and said he was going out to get a haircut and didn't allow him to go with him.
Ou Renjin just had some work to deal with, so he didn't expose his obvious little thoughts. He turned on his computer to receive emails and opened the browser, which showed a full column of search records -
“What birthday gift would be memorable?”
“What gifts would super-rich people like?”
"What suitable birthday gifts can I buy with a budget of around 30,000?"
"What's the most unconventional gift for a boyfriend on his birthday?"
He supported his forehead with one hand, lowered his eyes and smiled softly.
Really. I knew Ou Shaowen wouldn't go out alone for no reason. It's obvious that I want to be with him 24 hours a day during this period.
He guessed that he wanted to give him a surprise, and he even teased him by sending him a WeChat message.
"Children, please send me photos as soon as you get your hair cut. I want to be the first one to see your new hairstyle besides the barber."
After a while, Ou Shaowen replied to him: You can't be the first, Uncle Li and other customers in the store will also see it.
Ou Renjin: Don’t worry about those small details.
Ou Shaowen was sitting on a bench outside the luxury store at this time, complaining to Li Bo dejectedly: “It’s so hard to buy gifts.”
"You don't have to worry about it. Mr. Ou likes you and he will be happy with whatever you buy."
"I want to give him something special that will leave a deep impression on him." Ou Shaowen was struggling with the meaning of "impressive", but he himself had little experience and he felt that Ou Renjin seemed to know everything and nothing could surprise him.
A few hours later, Ou Renjin sent another WeChat message urging him to send a photo of his new hairstyle. Ou Shaowen was a little discouraged after shopping, "Forget it, let's go get a haircut first."
"I think you should buy a pair of rings." Uncle Li, who was walking behind him, suddenly suggested.
Ou Shaowen's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned around and gave Uncle Li a look full of gratitude. Just after taking two steps, he looked up and saw a luxury wedding ring brand, and went in to shop with full of energy.
So, on Ou Renjin's birthday, he received a wedding ring.
When he opened his eyes after blowing out the candles, Albert Ou stood in front of him holding the ring box, somewhat stiffly, his lips moving as he uttered, “If you don’t marry me, can you wear the ring first?”
Ou Renjin looked at him quietly for a while without answering. As his silence grew longer, Ou Shao! Shaowen's eyes dimmed a little bit.
"It's okay, I have a spare gift." He forced a smile and was about to take the box back when Ou Renjin grabbed his hand, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
If possible, he really didn't want to see him so disappointed and have to settle for second best; if possible, he also wanted to hold a grand wedding with him, airlift the most expensive roses, and invite everyone in the entertainment industry.
But the reality is that it is not possible.
After the kiss, he lowered his head to press his forehead against his, and smiled softly, "Where's yours?"
Ou Shaowen was dizzy from his kiss and said, "I put it in my treasure box."
In his treasure chest, there were all the things Ou Renjin had given him from the beginning to now, as well as some small items he liked. The few leaves Ou Renjin had picked for him for the first time, the bamboo jade pendant he had given him, the remote control racing car that Li Bo had bought, the photo of them kissing on the cable car, the couple watch that He Yixin had given him, and the ring that he had bought for himself this time.
"Isn't this a wedding ring? You let me wear it alone."
Ou Shaowen instantly jumped up in joy, "Wait for me, I'll get it right away."
He went up the stairs in two steps and ran down with the same ring box.
"Give it to me and I'll put it on for you." Ou Renjin stretched out his hand to him, and he happily handed the box to him.
Ou Renjin lowered his head, stroked his ring finger with his fingertips, pinched the ring and put it on him, "A ring looks good when worn on your hand. It's meaningless to put it in a box."
"I'll put it on yours too." In Ou Shaowen's view, exchanging rings is a part of the wedding ceremony. At this moment, they exchanged rings, as if they had secretly held a part of the wedding, and the rest could be done later.
After getting the ring, his obsession with marriage seemed to fade away a lot. They completed all the things on the to-do list one by one, and even checked off the things they added on a whim. Finally, they went on vacation to the beach and took a lot of photos of each other. Under the crimson morning light of the sunrise, the boy's face was delicate and handsome, as if he had a story that he wanted to tell but couldn't.
He was immersed in the ocean of happiness day by day, like an ant drowned in a sea of honey, and finally on an unremarkable afternoon, Ou Shaowen received a call from Guan Qijun.
He hid in a corner of the garden, holding a leaf he had plucked from a tree in his hand, feeling a little sad, yet also feeling a sense of relief as if his heart had finally been lifted off his shoulders.
"You called me. Can I schedule the surgery now?"
Guan Qijun was interrupted by him and kept silent for a while. "I was just going to tell you that a friend of mine works in a research institute in the United States. Their team's research direction is artificial hearts. I asked him if there is an instrument similar to an extracorporeal blood supply device. The working principle of this instrument is very similar to that of an artificial heart. He said that if I can ensure that the case I described is true and you are willing to be their experimental subject, he can apply to the higher authorities to prepare the equipment and have the top artificial heart surgery expert from their cooperative hospital come to perform the surgery on you."
Ou Shaowen said “hmm” and said calmly: “Sure, if they have any experiments to do, they can do them on me.”
Guan Qijun paused, "Before that, you have to prove to them that everything you said before, about wound healing and organ regeneration, is true. They are afraid that this is just the words of a hypochondriac patient."
"How to prove it?" Ou Shaowen frowned slightly. He had promised Ou Renjin before that he would not hurt himself intentionally again.
"I have already informed Chen Sui and asked him to send me a copy of your medical records from your previous hospitalization to prove that your recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, whether it is external injuries or bone injuries."
Hearing that he no longer had to resort to self-harm to prove his point, he breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses, and smiled at himself.
From the moment he decided to have the operation, he was destined to break his promise to Ou Renjin again.
"So... when can they come over for surgery?"
Guan Qijun did not answer his question directly, "Have you ever thought about when to tell Ou Renjin the truth, after the operation, or..."
Ou Shaowen pursed his lips, very reluctant to face this problem. Ou Renjin was not like him. No matter what kind of wound it was, he could recover quickly. The wound on his palm that had been scratched in front of him could still be seen as a faint white mark.
That scene was so unforgettable that he couldn't help feeling scared when he thought about how angry Ou Renjin would be when he knew the truth.
"Can't you just keep it a secret from him? Keep it a secret forever."

His mind was in a mess. "Even if they say they found another heart source, he still needs to rest after the operation. Maybe they won't find it at all."
Guan Qijun remained silent and did not reply.
Ou Shaowen was deflated. “If I don’t show up for two months, he will definitely notice something is wrong.”
"Or I could say that I happened to be in a car accident and was hospitalized somewhere else, so I just couldn't come to see him." He knew how unreliable this statement was, and quickly rejected it, "Or I could say that I was very busy at work! I just happened to be going abroad to shoot a commercial..."
"I don't know what to say." He felt a little helpless and confused, and fell silent.
"Just tell him the truth?" Guan Qijun finally spoke, "When he's in better condition, tell him the truth."
“No.” Ou Shaowen rejected it fiercely. “If I am sure I can wake up in two months, then maybe I can tell the truth. But I am not sure about this now. If I can’t, and he knows the truth, he might…”
Ou Renjin just stood there, blood gushing out of his palm. He said to Ou Shaowen expressionlessly, "If you hurt yourself intentionally again, I will hurt myself as well."
He had no doubt about his words, so at this moment, his greatest fear was not whether he would wake up as usual, but if Ou Renjin accidentally knew the truth, would he dig out his heart with a blank expression.
This scene became his biggest worry. Every time he laughed the most happily, he felt as if there was a shadow covering his heart and he could never feel happy.
"Otherwise, how about just saying that I died in an accident?" He easily said this terrifying plan, "I'm going to die soon, and my heart won't go to waste. I ask that it be donated to him."
He seemed to think his idea was a good one and was very happy. "If I really die by then, that would be perfect. There would be no loopholes to be exposed. If I am not dead by then, I will show up again and it will be a surprise for Ou Renjin."
By then, he would definitely keep a close eye on Ou Renjin. With him watching, he would never let him do anything to hurt himself. By then, even if he knew the truth, he could punish him in any way he wanted, as long as he was still by his side.
"Yes, it's settled." Ou Shaowen made the final decision. "Help me keep it a secret first. Say it was from another heart. If he asks about me, just say I had an accident and am recuperating in another ward. When he gets better and starts to doubt my whereabouts, if I'm not in good condition at that time and you can't hide it anymore, just tell him that I died a long time ago in an accident."
He emphasized: "You must remember that I must die before the heart transplant, otherwise he will definitely have messy associations again."

Guan Qijun felt a little stuffy in his chest. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. When Ou Shaowen talked about life and death, his attitude was too calm, which made him feel thrilling.
