Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu was completely stunned. The warm, moist touch made his mind go blank for a moment, as if his brain had gone completely empty...

This kiss is no longer just a touch of lips, no longer a gentle kiss like a goodnight ritual.

Shen Yu could even clearly feel the surging, passionate emotions emanating from that awkward yet bold kiss...

All reason was shattered at this moment.

He clearly heard the sound of a string snapping in his mind...

Then, Shen Yu's tense body suddenly relaxed, only to be replaced by another, more intense emotion.

He tightened his arms around her waist, pressing her closer to him, and moved his other hand up to support the back of her head.

Then, he closed his eyes.

He took the initiative and returned the kiss deeply.

Lin Anran was initially startled by his intense response and let out a soft moan, but then she was swept away by the burning kiss.

Her world instantly consisted only of his burning lips and tongue, his scalding embrace, and the reassuring scent emanating from him.

Her awkward attempts were quickly taken over by him, leaving her with no choice but to passively endure and respond without reservation.

The fingers circling the back of his neck tightened unconsciously, weaving into the short hair at the back of his head, her body trembling slightly during his deep kiss...

Time lost its meaning; it seemed as if a long time had passed, yet also as if it had only been a moment.

As her lungs nearly ran out of air, Lin Anran couldn't help but let out a soft whimper.

Shen Yu suddenly released her and stepped back a little.

Their lips finally parted, and a thin, ambiguous silver thread quickly snapped in the darkness...

"ha..."

"call--"

Their foreheads touched, both of them breathing heavily, their hot breaths spraying onto each other's faces.

Lin Anran felt weak all over and clung limply to his shoulders, her chest heaving violently.

Shen Yu's breathing was also heavy, his chest heaving, and the muscles in his arms holding her were tense.

The air was thick with the lingering scent of passion...

After a long while, Shen Yu seemed to regain her voice...

"So... this is what it feels like..."

Lin Anran leaned against him, feeling weak all over, and could clearly hear his equally rapid heartbeat.

Shen Yu's almost whispered remark made her already burning cheeks burn even more intensely.

The impact of that kiss was too great, not just psychologically, but also physically...

The feeling was unfamiliar and overwhelming, almost too much for her to handle...

"I...I...I need to go to the restroom!"

She shifted in his arms, and before she could finish speaking, she broke free from Shen Yu's embrace and practically scrambled off the bed.

Then, she quickly opened the wardrobe and pulled out the drawer where she kept her underwear...

After grabbing one at random, he lowered his head and hurriedly left the bedroom, closing the door behind him with a soft "click"...

Silence fell again in the bedroom, with only Shen Yu still in the position of being pushed away, leaning against the headboard...

"Well..."

In the darkness, all of Shen Yu's senses seemed to still be stuck in the sudden entanglement that had just occurred...

The images and sensations replayed uncontrollably in my mind...

Shen Yu clearly felt a part of her body being completely awakened, a reaction beyond her control...

He forced himself not to think about it, but the more he suppressed it, the more vivid certain sensations and images became.

He knew that if Lin Anran hadn't run away and had continued to stick close to him like that,

Even if she got just a little closer, she would immediately notice the abnormality in his body...

Shen Yu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to use reason to forcefully suppress the restless energy surging within her body.

But the effect was minimal.

My mind was filled with the scene from earlier, and my body temperature showed no signs of decreasing.

He had to do something before she got back...

Shen Yu abruptly threw off the covers, turned around, braced himself with his arms, and began to do push-ups, his body forming a straight line...

He focused all his attention on controlling the rise and fall of his muscles and counting.

After a while, the almost uncontrollable burning sensation finally subsided considerably, and my body returned to normal, though my heartbeat and breathing were still a little rapid...

He walked back to the bedside, lifted the covers and lay down again, trying to clear his mind.

Not long after, the bedroom door was gently pushed open a crack and then quickly closed again.

Lin Anran tiptoed back, her footsteps very light. She hesitated for a moment at the door, as if confirming Shen Yu's location in the darkness, before she reached towards herself.

She carefully lifted the blanket on her side, lay down as quietly as possible, turned her back to Shen Yu, and wrapped herself up.

The darkness was silent, save for the two of them breathing as softly as they could.

But everyone knew the other person was awake.

This quiet did not last long.

In about a few dozen seconds, or a minute, the two of them moved silently towards each other almost simultaneously under the covers.

Lin Anran first felt the mattress behind her sink slightly, as Shen Yu turned around.

Then, an arm reached out from behind her and gently rested on her waist.

Almost at the same time, Lin Anran also turned around, buried herself in Shen Yu's arms, and stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist.

They embraced again, this time with a quieter, more unspoken understanding than their previous passionate kiss.

The intensity, panic, and embarrassment of just now seemed to slowly subside in this silent embrace.

"Let's go to sleep." Shen Yu's voice sounded above her head, low, gentle, and tired.

Lin Anran nodded gently in his arms, nuzzled against his chest, and spoke softly with a nasal tone:

"Okay, sure~"

There was nothing more to say, nor was there any need to say anything more.

That kiss just now, and this quiet embrace now, seem to have said it all.

Shen Yu placed a very light kiss on the top of her head, then adjusted her position to make her more comfortable.

Lin Anran also relaxed her body, completely surrendering herself to this warm embrace.

Although Lin Anran still lingered on the kiss from before, she never expected that being kissed by Shen Yu like that would elicit such a strong reaction from her body...

But she also knew there was no need to rush; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once she made that first start, things would be much easier...

Lin Anran knew exactly what she should do: as long as she was proactive enough, that would be enough!
