Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran searched the entire house but couldn't find Shen Yu anywhere.

So she quickly took out her phone and called Shen Yu.

"Feed?" The phone was answered almost as soon as it rang, and Shen Yu's gentle voice came from the receiver, instantly dispelling the slight unease in Lin Anran's heart.

"Yu Yu..." She instinctively gripped her phone tighter, her voice still soft and sleepy:

"Where are you? I woke up and didn't see you... Where did you go?"

"Sorry I didn't tell you, I was on the beach outside..." Shen Yu's voice seemed to carry a hint of amusement, with the sound of waves in the background:

"You're awake? Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, he's awake." Hearing that he was on the beach, Lin Anran felt relieved, but at the same time, a sense of curiosity arose within her.

It's just going to the beach, why didn't you wake her up to come along?

Why did you run out by yourself?

Shen Yu didn't answer her question directly, but gently invited, "Come find me when you wake up... I'll wait for you here."

"Okay... I'll come find you right away!"

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and a subtle premonition welled up in her heart.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Anran stood there for a few seconds, holding her phone.

She walked quickly back to the bedroom and stood in front of the full-length mirror.

The person in the mirror had slightly disheveled hair from sleeping, a rosy blush on her cheeks, her shoulder straps still dangling from her arms, and her dress slightly wrinkled.

She quickly adjusted her shoulder straps, combed her long hair with her fingers, and straightened her skirt.

Although it was just a simple matter of tidying up her hair and smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes, the person in the mirror looked much better.

She even patted her cheeks gently in front of the mirror before taking a deep breath, turning around, walking to the door, putting on her sandals, and pushing open the door of the guesthouse.

The sea breeze was cooler in the evening than during the day, and the last rays of sunset had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of purplish-red at the horizon.

Stars began to appear one by one on the deep blue sky.

Several ground lights were lit along the path leading to the beach outside the guesthouse. Lin Anran walked quickly towards the beach along the path.

Then, she saw it.

Two comfortable beach chairs are placed in a perfect spot, not too far from the sea, with a small wooden table in the middle.

On the table, a windproof scented candle burned quietly, its warm orange flame flickering.

Beside the candlelight sat an opened bottle of red wine, two wine glasses, and... a large bouquet of flowers.

Shen Yu was lying on one of the recliners.

He wasn't playing on his phone or looking anywhere else; he just leaned back relaxed, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distant sea, or perhaps simply waiting quietly.

The sea breeze ruffled the wisps of hair on his forehead. He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and beach shorts, looking relaxed.

Hearing footsteps, Shen Yu turned around and his gaze accurately caught her.

He gave her a gentle smile and reached out his hand.

"slowly..."

At that moment, Lin Anran's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.

She walked quickly over, first glancing at the bouquet of flowers that stood out vividly in the night, then at the flickering candlelight and red wine on the table, and finally, her gaze settled on Shen Yu's smiling face...

Lin Anran walked closer as instructed, her gaze drawn to the simple yet thoughtful arrangement before her.

She sat down on the recliner next to him.

"When...did this get prepared?"

"While you were asleep, I slept for a little while, but then I couldn't fall back asleep, so I came out to think about something..."

Shen Yu leaned back in his chair, relaxing, but his gaze never left her.

Lin Anran lay down in his place, her long legs naturally stretched out.

"Yu Yu..." she called softly, as if just to confirm that he was there.

"Um."

Shen Yu nodded in agreement, then paused for a moment before speaking again:

"I used to think that once I saw a beautiful scene, I could just remember it... Now I think I'm being a bit greedy."

He paused, his gaze shifting from her face to the dark sea in the distance, then back to her eyes.

What I want to remember are the landscapes we saw together...

In the dim candlelight, a blush quietly crept onto Lin Anran's cheeks.

"Me too..." She looked at him, her voice soft yet clear:

"Where we go doesn't matter, what scenery we see doesn't matter..."

"The important thing is being with you..."

Shen Yu looked at her, saying nothing more, only the smile on his lips deepened slightly.

He leaned slightly forward, picked up one of the two stemmed glasses already filled on the low table, and gently swirled the dark red wine inside.

He handed her the glass and said softly:

"Celebrating our graduation."

Lin Anran's heart stirred slightly as she solemnly accepted the cup that was meant for her.

She had never drunk red wine before, or rather, she had never drunk alcohol at all.

But at this moment, on the beach where the stars were just beginning to appear, under the flickering candlelight, and in Shen Yu's gentle gaze, this glass of wine seemed to be imbued with a special meaning.

"Mmm!" She nodded vigorously, her eyebrows curving upwards, and gently brought her wine glass closer to clink with Shen Yu's glass.

"bite--"

A crisp, melodious sound mingled with the sound of the waves.

Lin Anran imitated Shen Yu, bringing the wine glass to her lips and taking a small sip.

The taste wasn't as unpalatable as I had imagined; in fact, it strangely complemented the atmosphere.

She put down her glass, her fingertips unconsciously gliding lightly across the cool glass.

His gaze fell on Shen Yu's profile, which was softened by the candlelight.

The sea breeze was gentle, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the eternal song of the waves could be heard. The warmth brought by the red wine, mixed with the immense satisfaction and happiness brought by the people and scenery in front of me, made me feel very happy.

Such a romantic night...

The starry sky, the sea, candlelight, fine wine, and... him...

Everything is just right.

The atmosphere was just right, and so was my mood.

Is there... a chance tonight?

She had waited a long time, planned for a long time, and even prepared her "battle armor"...

I've already brought it; it's hidden inside my suitcase.

She wanted Shen Yu...

To truly obtain...

She wanted to possess it completely, and she wanted to personally occupy it wherever it was.

Lin Anran reached out and touched her slightly cool legs, glancing nervously at the red wine on the table.

She had done her homework; apparently... being slightly tipsy is more conducive to things going smoothly...

She had never seen Shen Yu drink alcohol.

So, is what he prepared this time... exactly what she was thinking...?
