Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

"What?"

Before they could think it through, the boss had already taken a small object carefully wrapped in a clean tissue from his pocket, placed it gently on the table in front of them, and then slowly unfolded the tissue.

A dazzling gleam unexpectedly caught their eye...

It was a ring!

Moreover, it's no ordinary design; the main body of the ring is made of a platinum or white gold with a cool, silvery sheen, featuring a simple and streamlined shape, but the gemstone set in the very center is astonishingly large...

It was a perfectly cut, crystal-clear diamond! Even under the dim lights of the roadside stall, it still reflected a breathtaking fire, shining brilliantly.

Lin Anran suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief and shock.

In all her life, she had never seen such a big and sparkly diamond ring, not even on TV or in magazines, let alone in person!

Shen Yu was also clearly stunned. He could tell that the ring was definitely worth a lot. The clarity, cut and size of the diamond were not something that ordinary people could afford.

How did it end up inside the belly of an ordinary sea fish that they caught?

"This..." Shen Yu's throat went dry, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The boss rubbed his hands together and explained:

"When we're processing fish, we sometimes do find some strange things inside their bellies, but this is the first time I've ever seen a ring this big! I almost broke my knife just now."

He pointed to the ring, which had already been cleaned: "You caught this fish, so it should rightfully be yours. Hey, keep it safe, don't lose it, it looks really valuable!"

As the boss spoke, he pushed the ring further towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu finally came to her senses.

He looked at the boss in front of him, and a complex emotion welled up inside him.

If the boss had even a little selfishness, he could have easily kept the ring quietly, and they would never have known about it for the rest of their lives.

The boss waved his hand and explained, "I wouldn't feel at ease taking something that isn't mine. The fish will be ready in a bit, please have a seat."

After saying that, she turned around and hurried back to the kitchen to get busy, leaving Shen Yu and Lin Anran staring at each other in bewilderment at the dazzling ring on the table.

The surrounding noise and the aroma of food seemed to fade away. Both of their gazes were fixed on the ring.

Lin Anran finally found her voice, but it was still very low, trembling with disbelief:

"Wait, wait... Is this... Is this real? How could it be... inside a fish's belly?"

Shen Yu took a deep breath and carefully picked up the ring with her fingertips.

It is quite heavy and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite.

"It seems... to be true..." Shen Yu's voice was also somewhat somber.

"As for how it ended up inside the fish's belly..."

He pondered that the most likely scenario was that someone had accidentally dropped the expensive ring into the sea, where it was swallowed by this curious or predatory fish.

And this unlucky fish, of all days, was caught by them.

The probability of this is even lower than winning the lottery jackpot.

Was it incredible luck? Or some kind of inexplicable coincidence?

"This boss is really nice..." Lin Anran also came back to her senses, her gaze shifting from the ring to Shen Yu's face, then looking towards the kitchen, her eyes filled with emotion.

Faced with such a windfall, they were able to so openly return it to its rightful owner.

Shen Yu nodded, placed the ring in his palm, and looked at Lin Anran. He noticed that her gaze unconsciously followed the ring, her eyes filled with amazement and curiosity, but not greed.

"slowly..."

"Hmm?" Lin Anran raised her eyes and looked at him.

Shen Yu didn't speak immediately. Then, amidst the surrounding noise, he picked up the ring without saying a word...

He gently placed it in her palm and then closed her fingers.

"This is yours to keep safe."

Lin Anran's fingers clenched suddenly. She almost immediately looked up, glancing around in alarm to make sure no one was paying attention to their corner before lowering her voice, her tone filled with disbelief and urgency:

"Yu Yu! This...this ring must be very expensive! We...how about we sell it? We should be able to get a lot of money from it."

Shen Yu didn't seem surprised by her words; his tone was gentle, filled with complete indulgence and trust.

"Alright, it's up to you. Whether you want to sell it or keep it, it's up to you."

Lin Anran clenched the ring in her hand and said:

"But...this was found inside the belly of the fish you caught, so logically it should belong to you..."

"Then consider it my gift to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Anran's mouth opened slightly, and she blinked repeatedly.

She looked at Shen Yu; his expression was calm, and his tone was natural. This unwavering generosity warmed and swelled her heart.

Several seconds passed before she recovered from the shock. She nodded slightly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. A little shy, yet unable to hide her joy, she lowered her head slightly, her voice soft and gentle:

"Thank you, Yuyu..."

The words of thanks are simple, yet they contain a thousand words.

Her gaze returned to the dazzling ring in her palm.

After hesitating for a moment, and with a touch of cautious tentativeness, she slowly slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her left hand.

The size was surprisingly perfect.

Not too big, not too small, resting steadily at the base of her finger, the enormous diamond quietly nestled on her slender finger, possessing a strange and breathtaking beauty.

Lin Anran raised her hand, held it up to the light, and stared blankly at it.

"...It actually suits me quite well..."

She murmured, her tone filled with incredulous amazement, then immediately frowned and carefully took off the ring, clutching it tightly in her palm.

However... I definitely wouldn't dare wear this out normally, it's too eye-catching.

Unless it's a particularly important occasion, I doubt I'll ever need it.

Shen Yu's gaze remained tenderly fixed on her as she tried on the device, and at that moment, she smiled slightly.

"Hmm, it suits you quite well..."

Really...?

Lin Anran pursed her lips, a smile playing on her lips, her expression full of happiness.

Shen Yu felt that perhaps it was fate, and that this diamond ring was destined to be with Lin Anran.

Anyway, there's no need to think too much about it. After all, it was found inside the belly of a fish that was caught. It wasn't stolen or robbed. Since the owner can't be found, it's theirs.

Soon, the two fish they had caught were served, one steamed and the other braised. When they were placed on the table, Shen Yu took a special look to see which one had eaten the diamond ring.

Lin Anran didn't care about that; she only cared about the person in front of her.

She used her chopsticks to pick up the largest piece of meat from the fish's belly, removed the bones, and held it to Shen Yu's mouth:

"Yu Yu, ah~"
