Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran looked at Shen Yu's profile, gently shook her head, and said in a low voice:

"I'm fine."

Just then, Lin Jialiang, who had been stopped by Teacher Li, also realized what was happening. Looking at the strange boy who had suddenly appeared, he was even more furious and pointed at Shen Yu's nose, shouting:

"Who are you?! You little brat! Get out of my way! This is our family matter, what right do you have to interfere?!"

Teacher Li was also extremely anxious. While trying her best to restrain the agitated Lin Jialiang, she lowered her voice and said to Shen Yu in a mix of anxiety and anger:

"Shen Yu! What are you doing here?! Go back to the classroom! The teacher will handle this here!"

However, Shen Yu seemed not to hear Teacher Li's urging.

His stance in front of Lin Anran remained unwavering, and his gaze calmly shifted to the menacing Lin Jialiang, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

"Heh... No wonder they're brothers, they both have the same fiery temper and say almost the same things."

Shen Yu paused, meeting Lin Jialiang's astonished gaze without flinching, and continued:

"I am Lin Anran's boyfriend. She is currently staying at my house."

"So, you can understand all her behaviors as being taught by me. If you have any complaints or want to throw a tantrum, just come at me."

In an instant, the office fell into a deathly silence...

Lin Jialiang's angry expression froze instantly, replaced by incredulous astonishment. His mouth was slightly open, as if he hadn't heard clearly, or as if he was too shocked by the overly direct information to react.

He glanced at Shen Yu, then at Lin Anran behind Shen Yu, who remained expressionless, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react...

Teacher Li was completely stunned. She stared wide-eyed at Shen Yu, then at Lin Anran, her mind buzzing.

What's going on? All she knew was that Lin Anran and Shen Yu were dating, and she'd been turning a blind eye. How come... they're living together now?!

Lin Jialiang's face turned pale and then red after being stung by Shen Yu's words, and finally he turned his anger towards Lin Anran:

"Lin Anran? What's going on?! You...you're living in his house?! Are you crazy?! Have you no shame?!"

"My actions have nothing to do with him." Lin Anran suddenly took a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shen Yu:

"Don't try to drag him into this. If you have any problems, come at me."

Lin Jialiang and Teacher Li looked at the man and woman in front of them. One calmly stated the situation, while the other stood up to defend them. Although they were facing anger and questioning, there was a tacit understanding and solidity that did not allow outsiders to interfere.

Lin Jialiang was speechless for a moment because of this imposing manner, and Teacher Li also pinched the bridge of her nose with a headache.

Lin Jialiang took a few deep breaths, seemingly realizing he couldn't reason with the two younger ones, and turned his attention to Shen Yu, shouting:

"Fine! You brat! I'll call your parents! I want to see what kind of parents could raise a child like you, who's kidnapping someone else's daughter!"

Shen Yu's expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed, only his eyes were colder:

"I can't come. Just tell me what's wrong."

"Can't come?!" Lin Jialiang looked at Teacher Li as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, then turned to her with a firm tone:

"Call his parents! Call them now! I want to see what kind of parents are so arrogant!"

Teacher Li was truly in a dilemma, her face showing obvious embarrassment and hesitation.

She looked at Shen Yu, then at the furious Lin Jialiang, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

As Shen Yu's homeroom teacher, she knew something about her family situation...

My mother passed away, and my father... is in prison.

Who is his guardian? Does he have a permanent guardian?

She really didn't know. Shen Yu usually performed exceptionally well, was calm and self-disciplined, and never required teachers to worry about his family issues. She also subconsciously avoided the topic.

Just as Teacher Li was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to begin, Shen Yu's voice rang out again:

"Lin Anran's family treated her badly, with long-term domestic violence. She is an adult with full civil capacity and can independently carry out civil legal acts. Her parents' legal obligation to support her has naturally terminated. She has the right to leave the family that caused her harm and make her own life arrangements."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Jialiang, whose expression was shifting rapidly, before continuing:

"As for her not visiting her father in the hospital and neglecting her family affairs, you can condemn her on a moral level, that's your freedom. But legally, she hasn't done anything wrong. Her behavior is a form of self-protection based on how she's been treated over the past few years."

After he finished speaking, the office fell silent again.

Lin Anran's hand had quietly clenched the hem of Shen Yu's school uniform jacket without her noticing.

She turned slightly to the side, hiding most of her body behind Shen Yu's tall and straight figure.

This subconscious action even surprised her slightly.

In the past, when faced with her father's beatings and scoldings, and the indifference of her so-called family members, no matter how painful the beatings or how harsh the insults, even when cornered and feeling like she might really die, she never hid or cried.

She certainly didn't think... anyone could come to save her.

She was used to bearing it all alone, used to wrapping her wounded heart in a numb and cold shell.

If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed; if you don't depend on others, you won't be abandoned.

But now...

She looked at Shen Yu's broad shoulders in front of her, feeling the steady strength beneath his calm words...

The sense of security that Shen Yu gave her was real...

This sense of security, without her realizing it, had somehow made her... dependent on it.

Looking at Shen Yu's organized demeanor, and then at Lin Anran hiding behind him, clearly seeking protection, Lin Jialiang was even more furious.

He felt his authority as an elder had been completely challenged, especially in front of a school teacher, and he was left speechless by two young boys.

He pointed at Shen Yu, his finger trembling slightly with anger, his face flushed red:

"Fine, fine! You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you! You little brat, you're really fearless, aren't you? Haven't you ever been in the real world, experienced its harsh realities? A kid dares to challenge an adult?!"

Shen Yu did not retreat an inch; instead, he took a step forward.

The distance between the two instantly closed. Shen Yu, who was already taller than Lin Jialiang, lowered his eyes slightly, exuding an almost icy sense of pressure.

"I'm not afraid... I have no family left. What, you don't have any either?"

Lin Jialiang's angry expression suddenly froze, as if someone had grabbed his neck, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

Shen Yu's eyes were too cold, and his tone was too calm.

A strange chill crept up Lin Jialiang's spine, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

Just then, Lin Anran stepped forward and stood next to Shen Yu.

"If you dare touch him..."
