Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran entered the bathroom and gently closed the door.

She took off her clothes and turned to look in the mirror.

The body in the mirror gleamed with an ivory-like luster under the light.

Her skin was very fair, and the pale blue veins below her collarbone were clearly visible.

The lines of the shoulders and neck are smooth, then the waist tapers sharply downwards, before gently flaring out again...

Her figure has a slender yet not frail beauty, with a well-proportioned frame and a particularly thin waist.

But beneath this beauty lie traces of disharmony.

The most glaring feature is the wrist, with several pale pink old scars arranged in parallel.

It's also on my right wrist, but it's a bit darker in color.

She raised her arm, revealing a fresh bruise on the outside of her right upper arm, with dark purple edges.

The hot water was turned on with a whoosh, and the steam quickly spread out, blurring the mirror's surface.

She stepped into the water, the warm current washing over her delicate skin, and also flowing over her wounds and bruises...

Water droplets slid down her slender neck, flowed over her beautifully shaped collarbone, and then disappeared into her undulating curves.

She actually moved into someone else's house... the house of a boy who was just the "class monitor" yesterday...

Moreover, she's not resistant at all now...

She, who usually avoids boys at all costs, is now surprisingly not opposed to staying at a boy's house and even taking a shower there.

The water was very hot, and she slowly rubbed her long hair, foam piling up on her head.

The water flowed down her smooth back, paused briefly at her waist, and then continued down her straight, slender legs...

The scars on my wrists became more noticeable in the hot water.

She used to deliberately avoid looking at these things when she showered, or she would finish showering as quickly as possible.

But today, she stared at them for a long time.

Lin Anran rinsed the foam off her hair, and she thought of Shen Yu's eyes—eyes that seemed to know everything yet showed little emotion...

He seems to understand everything about my own psychology...

The thought clearly emerged, carrying a bittersweet feeling that made her heart tighten slightly.

I understand the cracks hidden beneath a perfect facade, the urge to destroy everything, and the moments when I hate myself.

Hot water streamed down my cheeks, mixing with something else.

Lin Anran raised her hand to wipe her face, unable to tell if it was water or tears.

She quickly finished her shower and turned off the tap.

The bathroom fell silent, with only the sound of dripping water remaining.

As she dried herself with a towel, she looked down at herself.

The hot water gave the skin a healthy pale pink hue. The scars appeared somewhat blurred in the mist, but they were still there, and the bruises were still quite noticeable.

She put on her new pajamas, carefully dried her hair in front of the still blurry mirror, then took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door.

In the living room, Shen Yu had already tidied up the kitchen and was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone.

He looked up when he heard the sound.

"Are you done washing?"

"Mmm." Lin Anran nodded and dried her hair with a towel again.

Shen Yu glanced at her, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before quickly shifting away:

"The hairdryer is in the drawer under the sink."

"it is good."

After Lin Anran dried her hair and came out, Shen Yu was still sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

Lin Anran stood there and looked at him for a while...

He was so focused when he read...

Shen Yu felt Lin Anran's gaze, looked up at her, and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back to your room and rest."

"Okay... I understand."

Lin Anran nodded, then reluctantly returned to her room.

She actually wanted to stay outside a little longer, preferably to chat with Shen Yu some more...

After all, no one could get her to tell her the truth; Shen Yu was the first.

Lin Anran sat on the bed, leaned against the headboard, hugged her legs, and rested her chin on her knees, as if she were curling herself up into a ball.

The room quickly fell silent, an eerily quiet silence...

She seemed to like this environment, as if it made her feel safe.

After a long while, she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, which was separated by a wall...

It seems that Shen Yu has started taking a shower.

Lin Anran wanted to calm herself down and not be disturbed by the sound of the water as much as possible.

But for some reason, my thoughts kept drifting towards the bathroom...

It's as if just hearing the sound of water allows you to picture the bathroom...

The key is...

Why did I even think about what would happen in the bathroom...?

Lin Anran covered her head, feeling that her head was probably sick... Originally, the little world in her mind only contained herself.

My own existence occupies 90% of my life, and the remaining 10% is my deceased mother.

But now Shen Yu has suddenly appeared! He's taken almost half of her ninety percent!

She couldn't even figure out why, it was as if her heart was telling her—don't think about anything, that's the right feeling!

She now simply follows her heart in everything she does; whatever she thinks, she does...

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water stopped, and Lin Anran immediately noticed this.

Then her mind started imagining a scene in the bathroom... like Shen Yu should be drying himself off... or applying moisturizer...

A moment later, the bathroom door opened, and Lin Anran heard footsteps approaching from the bedroom doorway!

Does Shen Yu want to come in?

Lin Anran's heart began to race, but... she felt no fear whatsoever...

"Knock knock—"

Shen Yu knocked on the door and called out from outside, "Lin Anran! There's fruit in the kitchen. If you want some, come and get it yourself."

"Ah... I understand!"

Lin Anran responded, and then Shen Yu's footsteps faded away as he went to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Anran quietly got out of bed, then opened the door a crack and saw that Shen Yu was already reading a book on the sofa.

Seemingly noticing the commotion on his side, Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked over.

Lin Anran realized she had been discovered, so she quickly closed the door...

"Lin Anran!"

At that moment, Shen Yu called out from outside.

Lin Anran was startled. Leaning against the door, she covered her chest with her hand and stammered in response:

"W-what's wrong?"

There was a two or three-second silence outside, then Shen Yu's calm voice rang out:

"Good night."

"..."

Lin Anran opened her eyes wide, blinked twice, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

A moment later, the corners of her mouth curved upwards in a barely perceptible arc...

"Okay, goodnight!"
