Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran dislikes Su Linxue.

The woman's appearance carried an aura that instinctively made her wary, even though she claimed to be Shen Yu's cousin, and even though she appeared worried and earnest.

Su Linxue's overly concerned tone towards Shen Yu, and her tearful appearance when recalling the past, made her uncomfortable.

But... she could also see that although Shen Yu's attitude towards this cousin was cold and distant, even with a clear rejection, it didn't seem to be entirely disgust.

It's more like deliberately drawing a line.

Su Linxue's worries did not seem to be feigned.

At least, after Shen Yu said those resolute words, she did not become angry or pester him.

More importantly, Shen Yu gave her the choice.

Adding her means that there's a wall between Su Linxue and Shen Yu, a wall of her own.

She can decide what Su Linxue knows and what she doesn't know.

This seemed to reassure her more than Shen Yu's direct rejection.

Once she understood this, Lin Anran's hesitation disappeared.

She looked up, her voice not particularly warm, but it was no longer as cold as before:

"Can."

Upon hearing these two words, Su Linxue's face revealed a complex smile, a mixture of relief and bitterness.

"Okay... okay, thank you."

She quickly took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Lin Anran, leaving her phone number and adding her on WeChat.

"Okay." Lin Anran put away her phone, took Shen Yu's arm again, and leaned slightly towards him.

Su Linxue nodded repeatedly and put her phone away.

At least, she knew that Shen Yu was probably still living peacefully somewhere in this city, which made her feel a little better about her guilt...

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Su Linxue's gaze finally settled on Shen Yu's face as she said:

"Shen Yu, in the future... if, I mean if, there's anything I really need help with, no matter what it is, you must ask. Don't bear it all by yourself, even if you might not want to..."

Shen Yu didn't respond to her words, but simply nodded, as if to indicate that he had heard them.

"Then we're leaving, goodbye."

After saying that, Shen Yu and Lin Anran turned and left.

Lin Anran glanced at Su Linxue one last time before turning her head away.

Su Linxue stood there, watching the two figures until they turned the corner and disappeared completely.

She raised her hand, looked at the newly added contact on her phone, took a deep breath, turned around, and slowly walked in the opposite direction from Shen Yu and the others.

For Shen Yu and Lin Anran, it was just a minor incident on their way home, and they quickly left it behind.

They were carrying various things as they walked home.

Back home, the familiar warmth instantly enveloped the two of them.

Shen Yu put the various things he was carrying on the cabinet in the entryway. He had just straightened up and was about to say something when his arm was suddenly grabbed!

Lin Anran moved with astonishing speed. Shen Yu didn't even have time to react before she was pulled along, staggering slightly, towards the living room sofa.

Shen Yu was a little confused, looking down at her tense little face, not knowing what was wrong.

Before he could figure it out, Lin Anran had already pulled him to the sofa and then gave him a light push!

Caught off guard, Shen Yu lost her balance and fell hard onto the soft sofa.

He instinctively looked up, but before he could even ask a question, her soft, fragrant body pressed down on him, straddling his lap...

"ah..."

Lin Anran's movements were swift and seamless. After sitting down, her two slender arms immediately wrapped around his neck, holding him tightly. Her upper body pressed against him as well, her face almost touching his nose.

Those eyes were fixed on him intently, without blinking.

The two were so close they could hear each other breathing.

Shen Yu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he subconsciously supported her slender waist to prevent her from falling if she moved too much.

"Ranran...why...what's wrong?"

Lin Anran ignored his question. She tightened her arms around his neck, pressing her upper body even closer until their noses were almost touching.

Then, in a coquettish tone, she asked:

"That cousin of yours... what's your relationship like? Were you close before?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquettishness at the end...

Looking at her face, so close to his, filled with jealousy, Shen Yu knew exactly what she cared about. Now that she was home, she was here to "settle accounts" with him.

He liked her slightly domineering yet jealous demeanor.

He raised his other hand and gently stroked her slightly flushed cheek, then slowly spoke:

"Back then... that was when we were kids, we had a pretty good relationship."

"But it was mostly just the kids from relatives' families who would visit each other during holidays and play together. After starting junior high, apart from occasionally seeing each other during the Lunar New Year, we basically didn't have much contact..."

Lin Anran was clearly not satisfied with the answer, or rather, the slight jealousy in her heart had not completely subsided.

She pouted, and her small nose wrinkled slightly:

"We were close when we were little..." she drawled, her big eyes blinking rapidly.

"So...did you share a bed when you were little?"

"Have you ever held hands? Hugged? Kissed?"

"Did you ever say anything like... that you'd marry me when I grow up?"

"Huh?" Shen Yu was slightly taken aback, then finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He tightened his grip around her waist slightly, pulling her closer to him.

"How could that be? Would I be that kind of person? None of what you said is true."

"She's just an ordinary cousin by blood. She was quite nice to me when I was little, and she took care of me like any other relative would. That's all."

He looked at her intently and said gently, "So, don't overthink it, don't worry, you little jealous girl..."

Lin Anran's cheeks flushed at his gentle words, but outwardly, she was still unwilling to give up easily.

She gave a soft hum, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and mumbled softly:

"Okay...that's fine then..."

She felt much better afterward; otherwise, she would have had this knot in her heart for a long time, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She whispered in Shen Yu's ear:

"If only... I could have met you when I was a child..."

Shen Yu was taken aback. He realized that if it were truly possible for him to have been with Lin Anran since childhood, it would indeed...change many things...

At least his and Lin Anran's childhoods will be very different...

Shen Yu took a deep breath and said softly, "Indeed... I also hope... it would be so..."
