Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The next day, their biological clocks seemed to be disrupted by the extreme exhaustion of the previous night. The two, who usually had regular sleep schedules, both overslept, and it wasn't until nearly 11 a.m. that Shen Yu was the first to be awakened by the light...

He frowned, closed his eyes, and it took him a while to adjust.

He shifted slightly, trying to change his position, but found his arm was a little numb... Lin Anran was sleeping soundly with her head on his pillow.

She nestled in his arms, her cheek pressed against his chest.

He breathed softly, neither getting up immediately nor withdrawing his arm, but lying there quietly, his gaze fixed on Lin Anran's sleeping face.

After a while, perhaps sensing his gaze, or perhaps having had enough sleep, Lin Anran's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were initially blank. She blinked and it took her a while to focus and see Shen Yu's face, which was so close to hers.

"Mmm... Yu Yu..." she mumbled, her voice hoarse from just waking up. She snuggled closer to him, rubbing against him as if she were being affectionate.

"woke up?"

"Hmm..." Lin Anran responded softly. She wanted to move and change her position, but found that her whole body felt like a rusty machine. Every joint was protesting with soreness, especially her waist and legs, which were incredibly weak. Even the slightest movement brought a feeling of soreness and weakness.

Shen Yu saw this and gently placed his hand on her waist, massaging it lightly.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Feeling Shen Yu's gentle hand, Lin Anran giggled, shook her head in his arms, nuzzled against his chest, and said:

"I don't feel uncomfortable!"

She didn't know how much time had passed, maybe half an hour, but Lin Anran felt the soreness in her body ease a bit. She moved slightly and whispered:

"Isn't it getting late...?"

Shen Yu glanced at the sun high in the sky outside the window, then at the alarm clock on the bedside table... it was almost midnight.

He grunted in agreement, then, supporting himself on the mattress, slowly sat up.

The two looked at each other and saw a similar weariness in each other's eyes.

Lin Anran slowly sat up, focusing her attention on Shen Yu.

He looked perfectly normal, and was moving his shoulders and neck.

But she still couldn't stop thinking about his unusual intensity last night, wondering if there was some unspoken thought or emotion behind it that she hadn't noticed.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved closer to Shen Yu, reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her soft cheek against his strong arm...

"More than..."

"Was something bothering you last night?"

Shen Yu was adjusting the cuffs of his pajamas when he heard this, he paused, and turned to look at her.

A barely perceptible embarrassment swept through a corner of Shen Yu's heart.

Now, looking back on last night, he realizes he was... a bit too naive...

He actually lost his mind and rationality because of something like that... Is this really him?

I'm really prone to impulsiveness at night...

He raised his hand, gently ruffled her slightly disheveled hair, shook his head, and said calmly:

"No... nothing's wrong, don't overthink it..."

"Really?" Lin Anran looked closely into his eyes, as if trying to find something in them.

But Shen Yu's eyes were calm, revealing nothing.

Shen Yu nodded firmly and squeezed her hands that were wrapped around his waist:

"Really, don't worry..."

Seeing his calm expression and confident tone, Lin Anran's slight anxiety subsided.

She believed Shen Yu; if he said no, then it must be true.

"Okay! That's good!"

She loosened her grip on his waist and instead grabbed his arm, trying to use it to stand up.

Shen Yu helped her up, and the two of them helped each other get out of bed.

Lin Anran's legs were so weak that she felt like she was walking on cotton. Shen Yu was in better shape, but the soreness in his lower back made his movements less agile than usual.

The two moved to the bathroom door in almost perfect sync.

The bathroom mirror was large, clearly reflecting the two people's images.

Shen Yu's face showed a slight weariness from just waking up, but his spirits were still good.

Lin Anran's face was flushed, and her eyes were still a little watery. The two women were quite a bit different in height; standing together, one was tall and slender, the other petite...

Shen Yu squeezed out some toothpaste, handed one to Lin Anran, and then picked up his own.

The two stood side by side in front of the sink, facing the mirror, and began brushing their teeth in sync.

In the mirror, two people, dressed in pajamas, with messy hair and toothbrushes in their mouths, their mouths full of white foam, are brushing their teeth in unison, left and right...

After washing up, Shen Yu went to the living room, picked up her phone, and habitually asked:

"Ranran! Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Lin Anran was admiring the mark Shen Yu bore on her body in front of the mirror when she heard this. She immediately came to Shen Yu's side, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Let's just have something simple for lunch! For dinner... I'll cook, and we'll have a nice meal! Okay?"

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, seeing her expectant look, and without thinking much of it, he nodded:

"Okay, then let's just grab something quick for lunch and order takeout."

"Uh-huh!"

So the two of them snuggled up on the sofa, heads close together, studying the food delivery app on their phones, trying to decide what to eat.

While waiting for the takeout, the living room curtains were half-drawn, letting in the afternoon sunlight. Shen Yu picked up a book she hadn't finished reading before, sat on the sofa, leaned against a soft cushion, and started flipping through it.

Lin Anran changed into a comfortable set of loungewear and followed along.

She naturally sat down next to Shen Yu, then turned to the side, gently resting her head on his shoulder, leaning most of her weight on him...

It seemed that only in this way could she enter charging mode...

Shen Yu continued reading his book. He was already used to it; without Lin Anran leaning against him, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on reading at all...

Time seemed to be stretched out or slowed down infinitely.

Everything became simple and pure.

There is only each other's presence, each other's breath, and this unspoken companionship.

"Um?"

A moment later, Lin Anran felt her phone vibrate.

She picked it up and glanced at it, then saw a message...

Few people message her, and those who do, she deletes without hesitation.

However, Lin Anran frowned slightly after seeing the message. The contact name was [Su Linxue], which is Shen Yu's...cousin.

"【Ranran, have you eaten yet? Did you and Shen Yu go out? Be careful when you go out, and don't hesitate to ask if you need any help..."
