Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu's kiss landed again, this time with even more tenderness.

Lin Anran's heart pounded like a drum, responding in unison, her fingers unconsciously gripping the fabric of his shirt.

The kiss lasted even longer, until both of them were breathless, before they reluctantly parted.

Lin Anran's cheeks were burning hot, and she felt dizzy, as if she were walking on clouds...

Shen Yu lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head, then pulled away slightly, his voice a little husky:

"Are you still going to see the movie?"

Lin Anran shook her head, her voice muffled, tinged with shyness and satisfaction:

"I'm not going to watch anymore... Just stay here... It's fine as it is."

Who's still in the mood to watch a movie? They've long forgotten what's going on in it.

Shen Yu gave a soft "hmm," then reached for the remote and paused the video.

He picked up another blanket and gently covered the two of them.

For the next hour or so, they nestled quietly together on the sofa.

There were no more kisses, just hugs, occasional whispers of trivial things, or nothing at all, just listening to each other's breathing and heartbeats, feeling the peace and sweetness brought by this intimacy.

Lin Anran gradually relaxed, like a lazy cat, as Shen Yu's fingers idly twirled through her hair.

"It's time." Shen Yu glanced at his phone and said softly.

"Hmm..." Lin Anran moved slightly, reluctantly lifting her head from his embrace.

The two tidied up their somewhat disheveled clothes and hair.

Shen Yu took her coat and carefully helped her put it on, her movements natural and delicate.

Lin Anran then picked up the tablet and exited the playback interface.

Pushing open the door to the private room and stepping back into the bright corridor, the sounds of the outside world flooded back into my ears, giving me a feeling of being in another world.

Standing on the street again at a little past four in the afternoon, a gentle breeze brushed my face, bringing a touch of coolness.

Lin Anran took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling a little hot on her face, but feeling refreshed!

So far, she is very happy with today's date.

"Where do you want to go next?" Shen Yu turned to look at her, their fingers intertwined.

Lin Anran looked up at him and asked softly:

"Yuyu, aren't you tired? You've been playing all day..."

Shen Yu shook his head: "I'm not tired. You decide. I'll go with you wherever you want to go."

A surge of joy welled up in Lin Anran's heart. She gripped his hand tightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Well... could we stay outside until evening? I heard from a classmate that there's a musical fountain show in the big square in the city center at night... I'd like to go see it with you."

Shen Yu nodded almost without hesitation:

"Okay, then... let's wander around a bit first, take a walk, then find a place to have dinner, and after dinner we can go see the fountain, how about that?"

"Okay!"

So the two of them began to wander aimlessly along the street.

There was no specific destination; we simply enjoyed the leisurely time walking side by side.

Passing by an ice cream shop, Shen Yu bought her a cone. They would stop and watch street performers for a while. Passing by a pet shop, Lin Anran would smile fondly at the cats and dogs through the glass window...

Shen Yu quietly stayed by her side, looking at her profile, secretly thinking to himself...

What would things be like for Lin Anran now if she hadn't met him...?

Her past life was unhappy, which led to some distortions in her personality, but putting all that aside, she was essentially just an ordinary girl...

He changed her life and prevented the possibility of her becoming pathological.

Shen Yu had to admit that Lin Anran had also changed him, preventing his pathological condition from developing further...

If they hadn't met, Lin Anran might have killed her father that day... or done something even more outrageous and extreme. On the day she had her emotional breakdown, she probably wouldn't have lived much longer afterward.

And he might slowly become numb in his loneliness, and in the end, he might really become the same kind of person as his father said.

Marrying someone you don't like but can use, without any feelings, and spending your whole life together, could lead to a situation where, if you become emotionally unstable, you might commit a crime due to hidden violent tendencies.

But now... they rely on each other, and it seems that everything that was abnormal is slowly becoming normal.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them as they nestled close together on the clean sidewalk.

They chatted about trivial and ordinary things, about interesting things they saw on the road, and what they wanted to eat for dinner.

But every ordinary conversation becomes exceptionally meaningful because the person beside you is the other person.

As darkness fell, they found a quiet little restaurant and had dinner.

During the meal, Lin Anran would occasionally glance at Shen Yu and smile, her smile filled with undisguised sweetness.

Although Shen Yu didn't talk much, he would always carefully put her favorite dishes into her bowl, and a faint smile would appear in his eyes when he saw her eating with satisfaction.

After dinner, the two took a walk toward the central square.

The square is even more lively at night than during the day, with neon lights flashing and crowds of people.

The musical fountain show hadn't started yet, but a large crowd had already gathered around the fountain, mostly couples or families with children.

Shen Yu, holding Lin Anran's hand, found a relatively quiet spot with a good view and stood there.

The night breeze was cool, and Shen Yu naturally pulled Lin Anran closer to him, almost encircling her in his arms.

"Are you cold?" he asked in a low voice.

"I'm not cold." Lin Anran shook her head, leaning against him, feeling warm and at ease.

Shen Yu glanced around at the bustling crowd.

The square was brightly lit and bustling with people, most of whom were strangers.

However, just as his gaze swept over a decorative tree adorned with colorful lights not far away, his eyes widened slightly.

Under the shade of the trees, a young couple were holding hands and talking intimately in hushed tones.

The boy was tall and imposing, and next to him was a girl with a charming smile, looking up at him.

"Look over there, there's someone I know." Shen Yu tilted his head slightly, gestured in that direction with his chin, and whispered to Lin Anran in his arms.

Lin Anran responded with a puzzled "Hmm?" and followed his gaze.

"Lee Jin-seok and Yu Yining?"

These two were their classmates, and also the couple Shen Yu had met that day while seeking knowledge from the scriptures.

"Should we go say hello?" Shen Yu looked down at Lin Anran and asked.

Lin Anran recalled the scene of Shen Yu chatting with them that day, pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then shook her head:

"Forget it..."
