Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

After a while, Shen Yu seemed to have finally calmed down completely.

He slowly loosened his arms around Lin Anran and finally lifted his head off her shoulder.

He braced himself against the edge of the sofa, leaning back slightly to create some distance between them.

Lin Anran could also see his appearance clearly at this moment.

Shen Yu's eyes were very red, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyelids were swollen.

There were still obvious tear stains on his face, stretching from the corners of his eyes all the way to his jaw.

Her nose was slightly red, and her lips, which had lost some color from biting her shoulder so hard, were slightly pursed.

Gone was his usual calm and composure, gone was the violence and crimson he had displayed when he lost control just now.

At this moment, Shen Yu appeared more vulnerable than ever before...

It was this appearance that made Lin Anran's heart skip a beat.

Then my heart pounded...thumping against my chest, almost leaping out of my chest.

She had never seen Shen Yu like this before; the contrast was striking...

This vulnerable state it displayed in front of her... almost cost her her life...

Lin Anran felt her cheeks instantly burn, and her heart was pounding so hard it was almost out of control...

At this moment, Shen Yu had already raised his hand, somewhat awkwardly wiping his face with his sleeve. Then he reached for a few tissues, lowered his head, and vigorously wiped his eyes and cheeks with the tissues...

"...This is so embarrassing...I'm sorry you had to see this."

He never imagined that he would lose his composure like this in front of Lin Anran, crying like a child.

The last time I cried was when my mother died...

Looking at his forced composure and his slightly reddened ears, Lin Anran's heart was already in turmoil...

How can he be so cute...?

She leaned forward, and in the instant Shen Yu was still slightly stunned, she suddenly tilted her head back and swiftly planted a kiss on his cheek, which was still wet with tears...

Lin Anran tasted the salty tears on his face. She looked at Shen Yu and whispered:

"How could that be? It's not shameful at all..."

I love how you are just the way you are...

Lin Anran's smile faded slightly, but her eyes became even gentler and more earnest:

"Don't always keep it all bottled up inside... You're human too, there will be times when you're sad, when you can't take it anymore, and when you want to vent."

"Sometimes... you need to let your emotions out properly like this... letting them out makes you feel much better."

Shen Yu looked at her. In her reddened eyes, the terrifying storm that had surged earlier had subsided, leaving only a heavy sadness and a trace of almost bewildered calm.

He nodded, his voice hoarse but clearer.

"Hmm." He said, paused, and his gaze fell on her face, becoming serious and somewhat somber.

"...Thank you...Thanks to you."

These four words, each one seemingly carrying weight, gently struck Lin Anran's heart.

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat, then started pounding again, her cheeks flushed.

She liked hearing him say that, and she liked the feeling of being needed and relied upon by him.

This made her feel that she was useful to him and that she was special to him.

She quickly waved her hand, trying to suppress her embarrassment and excitement, and striving to make her voice sound calm and considerate:

"It's what I should do! I... I want to be a good girlfriend to you, a qualified girlfriend!"

She spoke earnestly, looking at him with bright eyes.

Shen Yu didn't speak, he just looked at her.

Two seconds later, he raised his hand, gently touched her hair with his fingertips, and then ruffled it.

"...You already are."

In my heart, you've always been the best...

Lin Anran's face flushed bright red instantly...

The best! He said the best!

"Hehe..." She lowered her head, the corners of her mouth unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips, feeling sweet and a little dizzy inside...

Shen Yu's gaze fell on the floor, where the things he had swept away were still scattered.

He stood up silently, bent down, and began to tidy up.

Seeing this, Lin Anran immediately squatted down and helped him pick up the scattered letters, photos, and documents one by one.

No one spoke; only the faint sounds of tidying could be heard in the living room.

The items were rearranged on the coffee table, though not as neatly as before.

Shen Yu straightened up and glanced at the clock on the wall; the hands pointed to 6:10.

"I'm going to wash my face...and then cook."

Lin Anran immediately shook her head: "No need! I'll do it. You rest and get some rest. What do you want to eat?"

Shen Yu looked at her and shook his head very gently:

"No, I'll do it. I'll make myself... move my hands, keep myself busy, clear my mind a bit, and shift my focus."

Lin Anran understood that Shen Yu needed something specific to distract him.

She didn't insist further and nodded, "Okay, then... I'll help you..."

"No need, I'll just make two simple dishes, it'll be quick. You don't need to help, you can rest for a while."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the restroom.

After washing my face, I went to the kitchen.

Looking at Shen Yu's slightly tired back, Lin Anran didn't insist any further. She also went into the restroom and stood in front of the mirror.

Looking at her slightly flushed cheeks and still somewhat moist eyes in the mirror, she reached out and turned on the tap, splashing cool water on her face...

The cool touch invigorated her. She looked up and her gaze fell on her shoulder in the mirror.

The collar of the clothes had been askew to one side during the pulling and hugging.

She extended two fingers, gently hooked them around her neckline, and pulled it down a little.

A fair shoulder was exposed, and a clear and deep tooth mark was clearly visible on it.

The teeth marks were deeply embedded in the flesh, with reddish edges.

At this moment, the skin was still throbbing and burning.

Lin Anran stared blankly at the teeth mark for a while.

A surge of scalding heat suddenly rose from her heart, instantly turning the tips of her ears red.

She bit her lower lip, but the corners of her mouth still uncontrollably curled up little by little.

The smile grew more pronounced, and those strikingly bright eyes were brimming with an almost overflowing, radiant joy and sweetness...

This is... left behind by Shen Yu...

It was the mark he left on her during his most out-of-control, most painful, and most vulnerable moments.

He showed her his most vulnerable and disheveled side, branding her with his unspeakable emotions in a painful way...

So unique...

Lin Anran stretched out her fingertip and gently touched the tooth mark.

A slight stinging sensation came, but it only intensified the sweet feeling in her heart.

This is Shen Yu's love...
