Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran still felt that this wasn't quite enough.

Simply leaning on his arm and resting her head on his shoulder didn't seem enough to fill the almost greedy sense of dependence in her heart.

His calm demeanor while reading did not deter her at this moment; rather, it felt like a silent invitation.

She quietly moved closer to Shen Yu again.

This time the movement was more obvious; she practically rubbed half her body against him, her cheek pressed completely against his chest, and her arms loosely wrapped around his waist.

She practically treated Shen Yu like a life-sized body pillow, hugging him comfortably...

This posture completely stopped Shen Yu from turning the pages of the book.

He could clearly feel... the sensation of her soft body curves pressed tightly against his.

He lowered his head and looked at the head that was almost embedded in his chest.

Lin Anran seemed to notice that he had stopped moving, so she looked up at him and giggled...

After a few seconds, Shen Yu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

He closed the book in his hand and gently tapped Lin Anran's forehead with the spine of the book:

"Are you comfortable like this? It's a bit inconvenient for me to read."

Lin Anran blinked, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She mumbled softly:

"Then...I..."

"How about...you just...lie in my arms?"

Before Lin Anran could finish speaking, Shen Yu interrupted.

Lin Anran suddenly raised her head, her eyes widening instantly, filled with unbelievable surprise.

"Is it okay?" She stared intently at Shen Yu, afraid of missing any subtle expression on his face.

Shen Yu didn't speak, but simply opened his arms slightly towards her.

This action is more powerful than any words.

Lin Anran almost impatiently and hurriedly adjusted her posture, from leaning against him to facing him completely. Then, under Shen Yu's calm gaze,

Carefully, little by little, she moved her whole body into his open embrace.

Her cheek was pressed against his warm chest, and she could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself tightly against him.

Her legs naturally overlapped with his.

She nestled herself into his arms in an almost completely dependent manner.

I used him as the most comfortable human-shaped cushion and pillow...

The moment she leaned in completely, Shen Yu felt her soft body, her fragrant scent, and the close, intimate embrace, all of which carried a strong sense of presence and impact.

He adjusted his posture to make her lean back more steadily and comfortably, then picked up the closed book again, supporting it with one hand while his other hand naturally rested on her back.

Lin Anran nestled in his arms, feeling the rise and fall of his chest.

An unprecedented sense of security and satisfaction completely enveloped her.

She even let out a comfortable sigh, like a kitten finding its most cozy spot, snuggling gently against him, finding the most pleasant angle...

Shen Yu turned his gaze back to the pages, but this time, his reading speed noticeably slowed down.

The weight and warmth in his arms, the faint fragrance emanating from them, all gently drew his attention.

But he did not feel annoyed or impatient.

On the contrary, in this state, reading seems to become an exceptionally warm and peaceful thing.

Lin Anran thoroughly enjoyed this time.

She hadn't expected that Shen Yu would give her such great privileges and confidence, which would change her life so drastically.

You can approach him without restraint, make demands that go beyond your means, and take his indulgence for granted.

With him vouching for her, she seemed less afraid of upsetting him...

This feeling of "being able to make Shen Yu do whatever I want" is really...so satisfying.

Her thoughts drifted away. Unconsciously, she raised a hand, her fingertips gently tracing her other shoulder. Through the thin fabric of her nightgown, she felt a smooth expanse...

The mark Shen Yu left there last time has long since disappeared...

Every morning when she washes up, she unconsciously looks at that spot in the mirror, watching it fade and disappear day by day, and a wave of indescribable loss washes over her...

That was the mark he left on her, a unique symbol.

She had proven that she belonged to him, and that he had "marked" her.

But it just vanished, as if it had never existed.

She's always wanted another child...

But she didn't know how to bring it up.

But now... things are different, aren't they?

Now she can make demands and take charge.

Perhaps... now is a good time to ask?

She shifted in his arms, tilted her head back, and looked at Shen Yu from this very close distance.

He was looking down at the pages of the book, his profile appearing particularly focused and serene in the light of the bedside lamp.

Her heart started beating faster, and her throat felt a little dry.

She opened her mouth, finally mustering her courage, and spoke very softly:

"More than..."

Shen Yu looked up from the book and down at her.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Anran took a deep breath, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around his pajamas, her voice even softer:

"I...I still want...that..."

"It's... that one from last time... the one on my shoulder, it's gone now."

As she spoke, she pointed to her shoulder.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment...

Lin Anran was waiting for his answer; she could sense that his silence had been rather long...

Just when her confidence was about to be shaken,

Shen Yu didn't say anything, but simply closed the book he had been holding and placed it on the bedside table.

Then, he lifted her chin with his hand, making her tilt her head back and look at him.

Shen Yu looked at her for a few seconds, then gently stroked her cheek with the finger that was supporting her chin, finally lingering on the corner of her lips...

Shen Yu's gaze slowly moved down from her eyes, finally landing on her shoulder where a small patch of her fair collarbone was faintly visible.

"Okay... I'm here?"
