If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening hesitated for a moment, then took it out of the box, unfastened the clasp, and put it around her neck.

The teardrop-shaped droplet hangs perfectly in the middle of the collarbone, making the shape appear even more fluid.

Gao Gao couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Master, your skin is so fair! You look even better wearing this!"

Pei Yuening couldn't resist looking in the mirror, and even went into the dressing room to find a wreath of starlight vines.

He now wears a flower wreath on his head given by Ye Jiyun, a bottle of the Fountain of Youth given by Xin Tong around his neck, and a magic diamond ring given by Luo Ren on his finger.

A complete set of Ning.

But I can't help being so beautiful.

The person in the mirror had radiant skin, relaxed eyebrows and eyes, and a warm, healthy glow on their cheeks. They looked as if they had been nourished from the inside out.

She looks even more beautiful now than when she first wore it.

Although he was handsome back then and looked exactly like his modern self, he was constantly surrounded by swill and the gallows, and his complexion was really terrible.

But now.

Love nourishes, and so does food. The feeling of being truly loved was reflected on his face.

Pei Yuening spun around contentedly, the starlight wreath on her head swaying gently.

A silver chain dangled between her collarbones, and the ring still shone brightly.

Egg suddenly spoke up: "Have you had enough of showing off?"

"What do you know? Someone as good-looking as me should look in the mirror more often." Pei Yuening took one last look: "Alright, go to sleep."

"cut."

The next day.

Pei Yuening settled her little familiars and went to school humming a song.

The sun shone brightly all the way, and Pei Yuening was in an exceptionally good mood today.

He walked up the stairs to the classroom.

As soon as he entered, he found a group of people gathered around Ryan's desk.

"What beautiful flowers, Ryan! Who sent them?"

"Ryan, you're blushing! Is something going on?"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, she's shy."

Ryan was surrounded in the middle, his ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

He opened his mouth several times, trying to explain something, but each time his words were drowned out by other people's voices.

The bouquet on the table lay there quietly, its purple petals fresh and dewy, even glistening with morning dew.

Ryan finally found an opening and quickly said, "It's not what you think, I don't mean..."

"Don't be shy, we all know."

"Exactly!"

"..."

Pei Yuening walked over and pushed through the crowd, saying, "Alright, alright, Teacher He will be here soon."

The students then dispersed in twos and threes.

Pei Yuening watched them go, then turned around and sat down next to Ryan, nudging him with her elbow and winking at him: "Oh my, Ollie's finally figured it out? So romantic."

Ryan didn't respond.

He looked down at the bunch of violets, his expression somewhat complicated.

After a moment, he looked up and gave a dry laugh: "...It wasn't Ollie who sent it; he hasn't arrived at school yet."

Pei Yuening was taken aback: "Huh?"

Lin Huaijin sat in the front row, blowing on his teacup as he said calmly, "Violets grow in the Southern Territory, which is the territory of Rekeaia."

Pei Yuening: ? ? ? ? ?

What is that?

He glanced at Ryan instinctively; Ryan had already extended his hand.

A gentle, herbal magic flowed from his palm, covering the entire bouquet.

The fluorescent green specks fell like water droplets, dissolving everything they touched.

A moment later, only a puddle of water remained on his desk.

Lin Huaijin caught a glimpse of it and casually snapped his fingers.

A burst of fire magic swept by, baking away the water stains completely.

Everyone in the classroom, including Pei Yuening, was dumbfounded.

The air was silent for two seconds.

Ryan withdrew his hand, forced a smile at Pei Yuening, and then opened his textbook.

Lin Huaijin lowered his head and drank his tea, as if nothing had happened.

The students around looked at each other for a while before slowly turning their attention away and going about their own business.

Pei Yuening looked at the surface of Ryan's desk, which had been scorched by fire magic and hadn't even left a water mark, opened her mouth, then closed it again.

He wanted to say something, but Ryan had already buried his face in his book.

He wisely refrained from pressing the matter, and simply patted his head reassuringly.

Pei Yuening returned to her seat and took out a small snack box from her backpack.

"Here, this is for you," he said, handing it to Lin Huaijin. "Her Highness's gift is too precious; I would feel bad if I didn't reciprocate with something delicious."

Lin Huaijin gladly accepted it: "What about my share?"

"Let's have lunch together later, the four of us together."

"OK."

Ollie came in through the back door and sat down next to Lin Huaijin. He hadn't even put his backpack down properly before he started looking for Ryan.

Ryan ignored him and continued writing, his head bowed.

Ollie looked completely bewildered, having no idea what he had missed.

When the lunch break bell rang, Pei Yuening put down her pen and stretched.

The other students went to the cafeteria, while the four of them sat down around a table.

Pei Yuening took out two food boxes from her schoolbag. One box contained sushi, and the other contained fruit and cream cake cut into small pieces.

"Wow," Ryan finally showed his first smile of the day, "When did you make this?"

"Last night, when I was making braised pork knuckle, I accidentally cooked too much rice, so I just shaped it into sushi."

Pei Yuening handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Try them all. I added some freshly made vinegar to the sushi rolls, they should taste good."

Lin Huaijin picked up an eel first.

He took a bite, and the savory sauce mixed with the tender fish instantly overwhelmed his taste buds.

"It's delicious! How was this made?"

"It's just making rice balls. I'll write down the steps for you later."

"Okay, this is simple, I can learn it, otherwise my mother will be nagging me to eat hot pot every day."

"...Don't you get tired of it?"

Pei Yuening said, pushing the food box towards Ollie: "You guys should eat a few more, you still have a biology practice class this afternoon."

"..." Ollie's ears turned red: "I know... stop talking to me like that, I haven't even..."

Ryan kicked him under the table.

Ollie: "..."

"It's rice, but the taste is really unique," Ryan said, enjoying his meal. "It's delicious, but a bit dry... I'll go get some water."

"I'll go with you." Ollie immediately stood up and put his chopsticks on the table.

Ryan paused for a moment, then did not refuse.

The two went out one after the other.

Lin Huaijin has already started enjoying his cake.

"It tastes good. Although it's creamy, it's not too sweet or greasy, and the jam is also very rich."

Pei Yuening nodded: "This is a bit difficult, but making cakes is a lot of fun. How about we invite Ryan and the others to my house later?"

"OK."

The classroom quieted down.

After a while, Pei Yuening looked up: "Why haven't they come back yet?"

"A date, huh?"

"..." Pei Yuening's eye twitched: "I'll go take a look."

He put down what he was holding, got up, and walked outside.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Huaijin put down the cake and followed.

Not far away, Ollie was standing by the wall, with Claude in front of him.

Ryan frowned, clearly unhappy.

Claude smiled and said gently, "Lane, do you like the morning flowers?"

Ollie's eyes widened: "What flower?"

Ryan: "..."

Claude seemed to only just notice Ollie, and smiled as he lowered his eyes, saying, "Violets from my hometown. I had them specially delivered to Mr. Ryan's desk this morning."

Ollie: ?

What does it mean?

Claude's gaze, however, returned to Ryan: "I heard you disposed of it before class. It was my oversight; perhaps you don't like violets. Next time, choose something else."

Ollie immediately bristled: "What do you mean? Ryan is my lover, do you think this is appropriate?"

"I know," Claude nodded, "but you two aren't engaged yet. So, my pursuing him shouldn't be considered crossing the line, right?"

"Calculate."

Pei Yuening's voice came from behind.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time. Pei Yuening crossed her arms, with Lin Huaijin following behind her.

He walked over and naturally stood in front of Ollie and Ryan, separating them from Claude.

"Your Highness may not know, but Ryan is usually shy and accustomed to being dignified. He keeps everything to himself."

"But he already has Ollie by his side, and even His Highness the Duke knows that. If you do this, people will gossip."

Claude lowered his head slightly to meet Pei Yuening's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged: "Young Master Pei, you misunderstand. I just want to fight for a fair chance."

"If Ollie has enough faith in Ryan, what's there to worry about with another person appreciating him?"
