Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

"No, no, no... I can do it myself! My ankle injury won't stop me from taking off my clothes..."

Shen Yu answered almost immediately. With his back to her, he frantically began to unbutton his shirt, hoping she would leave as soon as possible.

Lin Anran looked at his slightly reddened ears and somewhat stiff back, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards.

In the end, she didn't say anything more, but simply closed the bathroom door for him very gently.

"I'll be right outside. Just call me if you need anything." Her voice came through the door, still gentle as ever.

"Okay..." Shen Yu replied sullenly.

Shen Yu moved much faster than usual in the bathroom.

The hot water washing over him relieved some of his fatigue and calmed him down a bit.

But he kept an eye on the sounds outside the door.

It seems she really didn't leave...

I could hear very light footsteps outside the door, lingering near the entrance.

Occasionally, you can hear a faint, soft rustling sound, as if she's gently leaning against the door...

He felt a little helpless, and also... a little strange.

He quickened his pace, hastily rinsed off the foam, and dried himself with a towel.

When his feet touched the ground, his ankles were still slightly sore, so he didn't dare to put all his weight on them. He carefully held onto the wall and changed into clean pajamas.

"I'm done washing," he called out towards the door, his voice muffled by the door and steam.

The door was almost immediately pushed open a crack from the outside, and Lin Anran's face peeked in, her expression concerned.

"Are you done washing? Do you feel uncomfortable? Does your foot hurt?"

Her gaze swept quickly over him, making sure he was dressed neatly and there was nothing amiss, but her eyes remained fixed on his face.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Shen Yu shook his head, leaned against the wall, and tried to walk out on his own.

"Let me help you." Lin Anran immediately stepped in and naturally extended her arm for him to support, while her other hand was loosely placed beside him, as if ready to catch him at any moment.

Shen Yu took her arm and slowly moved out of the bathroom.

Lin Anran carefully supported him, taking each step very slowly.

With her help, Shen Yu slowly moved to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Anran immediately turned around and went to get the hair dryer.

"Let me blow-dry your hair!"

Before Shen Yu could say anything, she plugged in the power, turned on the hairdryer, tested the temperature and speed, then stood behind him, gently inserted her fingers into his wet hair, and began to dry his hair.

Shen Yu sat there, his body stiffening slightly, but he quickly relaxed. He lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.

Because he knew what he said didn't matter anymore; he'd only sprained his ankle, but now it looked like he had both hands broken...

The key point is that Lin Anran seems very happy... This is probably similar to how girls used to comb their dolls' hair and change their clothes when they were little...

The feeling of being able to control things at will was indeed very addictive for Lin Anran, given her personality.

The buzzing sound of the hairdryer echoed in the quiet living room.

Lin Anran stood behind him, her eyes focused, a satisfied smile on her lips.

Being able to take care of him, touch him, and control these small details of his life like this...

This feeling amplified the strange sense of satisfaction she felt.

He was within her reach, relying on her care and obeying her arrangements...

"alright."

Lin Anran turned off the hairdryer, ran her hands through his fluffy, dry hair one last time, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yu said softly, and awkwardly raised her hand to smooth her hair.

You're welcome!

"Um... it's getting late, you should go take a shower too, I'll read a book."

"Okay, let me apply the medicine for you!"

As she spoke, Lin Anran stood up, walked quickly to the cabinet where the medicine box was kept, took out iodine, cotton swabs, and the bottle of blood-activating and stasis-removing medicated oil, and also took a new roll of medical tape.

She carried the things back to Shen Yu's side, sat down on the carpet, and carefully lifted his right foot off the small stool, placing it on her knees which were together.

As before, apply moderate pressure, starting from around the ankle and gently massaging towards the center to promote the penetration of the medicine.

Shen Yu leaned back on the sofa, looking at her lowered eyelashes, and felt the just-right pressure coming from her ankle. The pain seemed to have really eased a bit.

"alright."

After a while, Lin Anran finally stopped what she was doing, gently absorbed the excess medicine with clean gauze, and then re-bandaged and secured it.

After bandaging his feet, she gently placed them back on the small stool and thoughtfully adjusted the height of the cushion to make him more comfortable.

Then, she raised her head, looked at Shen Yu, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Okay! That should make things much better tomorrow. Now I'm going to take a shower. You stay here and read your book, and don't move around too much."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Anran went to take a shower.

The bathroom door closed, and the sound of running water could be heard, though it was somewhat muffled through the door.

Shen Yu leaned back on the sofa, holding the book in her hand and reading. The living room became very quiet.

After a long while, the bathroom door opened, and Lin Anran came out.

"Are you done washing?" Shen Yu looked up at her, his tone as casual as possible.

"Mm." Lin Anran nodded and naturally sat down on the sofa next to Shen Yu, sitting very close to him.

She leaned closer to him, almost resting half her weight on him.

She rested her head on his uninjured shoulder, nuzzled gently, found a comfortable position, and then remained still...

"Tired?" Shen Yu put down the book and patted her head with his uninjured hand.

"Hmm... a little." Lin Anran's voice came from his shoulder, with a slightly muffled nasal tone.

"Let's go back to sleep then," Shen Yu gently patted the head resting on his shoulder, his voice tinged with weariness.

"Get some rest, I'm a little tired too."

"Okay." Lin Anran immediately looked up, quickly stood up, and carefully reached out to support Shen Yu's arm...

With her help, Shen Yu slowly stood up.

Lin Anran helped him, step by step, into the bedroom.

Shen Yu's gaze habitually swept towards the bed, and then he paused for a moment.

On the bed, where two pillows and two blankets usually lay side by side, now only a double blanket remains...

"Uh... just one blanket?"

Shen Yu turned to look at Lin Anran, who was helping him slowly sit down on the edge of the bed, and asked in confusion.

Lin Anran helped him sit down, then sat down next to him and turned to look at him.

She spoke softly, with a hint of a smile, and with an air of self-righteousness:

"I've made the decision, remove it."

"We'll just build one!"
