Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

As evening fell, the two returned home carrying large and small bags.

The shopping bags were heavy, filled with Lin Anran's love...

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Anran couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen.

She tied on the apron printed with little strawberries, and tied her hair into a loose bun at the back of her head, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck, as if she were about to perform a sacred ritual.

Shen Yu carried the things to the kitchen doorway, watching her humming an off-key tune as she deftly began arranging the ingredients. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words.

Oh well, let her be.

Let her make whatever she wants. These are all common ingredients, nothing special. Don't overthink it.

He quietly withdrew and went to pack his other things.

As time passed, the aroma wafting from the kitchen grew richer and more complex.

Shen Yu sat in the living room with a book in his hand, no longer paying attention to the kitchen. Lin Anran was busy running around, and the two of them almost forgot how much time had passed.

As darkness fell outside, Shen Yu turned on the living room light and continued reading. He looked towards the kitchen, wondering if Lin Anran had been there for a long time and still hadn't finished cooking.

Finally, after Shen Yu felt his stomach and nerves had endured a long wait, Lin Anran's clear and cheerful voice came from the kitchen doorway:

"Yuyu! Dinner's ready!"

"Oh...it's here..." Shen Yu put down her book, took a deep breath, and walked to the dining table.

Upon entering, I was stunned by the sight before me...

The not-so-large dining table was already packed full.

In the very center was a large pot of steaming, milky-white mutton soup, bubbling with large chunks of bone-in mutton, sliced ​​yams, and bright red goji berries. The aroma was irresistible; it was clearly been simmered for a very long time...

Next to it was a plate of stir-fried pork kidneys, accompanied by bright green chives and vibrant red chilies—the colors were incredibly appealing...

Steamed oysters with garlic and vermicelli: plump oysters topped with snow-white vermicelli and golden garlic, drizzled with hot oil, sizzling gently...

Boiled prawns, their bodies curled up, displaying a beautiful orange-red color, neatly arranged on a plate...

There was also a sea cucumber and millet porridge, garnished with chopped green onions and shredded ginger.

Lin Anran was carefully serving the last dish... stir-fried eggs with chives.

Her face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat clung to her forehead.

Seeing Shen Yu enter, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the table full of dishes as if showing off a treasure:

"Hey! Dinner's ready!"

Shen Yu's gaze slowly swept over the dishes.

Lamb soup...warming and nourishing; stir-fried pork kidneys...based on the principle of "like cures like"; oysters...high in protein and zinc; shrimp and sea cucumber...tonifying the kidneys and replenishing essence; yam and goji berries...strengthening the spleen and benefiting the kidneys...

How should I put it...? Very...comprehensive?

No wonder you stayed in the kitchen for so long, you made so much... You probably used all the ingredients you just bought...

He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples again; this was clearly a supreme tonic feast...

It seems Lin Anran is genuinely worried that he'll overwork himself...

But it's alright, eating these things is better than taking any medicine.

He can't possibly eat all of this... I should have asked her to make less...

"Thank you for all that...you've worked so hard..." Shen Yu walked over, took the plate from her hand, and put it down...

"It's not hard work at all! Yuyu, eat more!"

Lin Anran waved her hand repeatedly, pulled Shen Yu to sit down at the table, and eagerly served him a large bowl of mutton soup, then put a large piece of mutton with bone into his bowl.

"Okay...I'll...try it." Shen Yu resignedly picked up his chopsticks and tasted each dish. The mutton was stewed until tender and flavorful, the soup was delicious, the yam was soft, and the goji berries were sweet.

The pork kidneys were tender and cooked perfectly, with no unpleasant odor... The oysters were sweet and fresh, and the shrimp meat was springy and bouncy...

To be fair, every dish tasted great, and you could tell that Lin Anran had put a lot of thought into it.

But as Shen Yu ate, he felt that this meal... had a particularly complicated flavor.

"Is it good?" Lin Anran herself didn't eat much; she spent most of her time serving food to Shen Yu, her eyes fixed on him.

"Delicious..." Shen Yu gave an affirmative review.

"Eat more if you like it!" Lin Anran immediately beamed and picked up the biggest oyster for him.

Yes, that's right. Eat more, get enough nutrition, and your body will be in great shape!

Lin Anran was extremely satisfied, feeding Shen Yu these things...it felt like a nurturing game...

Shen Yu was raised by her...

Feeding her these things makes her health better, which gives her a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction...

Shen Yu felt like a heartless eating machine.

Lin Anran's chopsticks never stopped, piling lamb, kidney, oysters, sea cucumber, chives... into his bowl one after another.

He actually had a good appetite, and Lin Anran was a good cook, but the combination of these ingredients, coupled with her eager gaze, made him feel...quite pressured during the meal...

He silently finished his food, and slowly, he began to feel something was wrong with his body...

Why does my lower abdomen feel a little hot?

Holy crap...

He felt a warm current uncontrollably coursing through his limbs and bones...

Towards the end of the meal, he lost his appetite, and sweat even broke out on his forehead.

However, he didn't pay attention, assuming it was because the food was too hot...

Lin Anran continued to enthusiastically refill his soup: "Hey...another bowl of soup!"

Looking at the bowl of milky white mutton soup with goji berries and oil floating on top, Shen Yu felt her throat become even drier.

He was about to wave his hand and say no need...

Suddenly, a familiar, warm sensation with a rusty smell came from deep inside my nasal cavity...

"Huh?" Lin Anran was about to hand over the soup bowl when she saw Shen Yu pause, his brows furrowing slightly.

Suddenly, a drop of bright red, without warning, fell into the empty bowl in front of him, blooming into a tiny red flower on the rim of the white porcelain bowl...

Then, a second drop, a third drop... the blood from his nose flowed like a dam bursting, streaming down Shen Yu's philtrum...

"Ah! Yu Yu! What's wrong with you?!" Lin Anran was so frightened that the soup bowl in her hand fell to the table with a "clatter," splashing soup everywhere.

She suddenly stood up, rushed around the dining table to Shen Yu's side, her voice trembling.

Shen Yu was also stunned.

He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his nose, his fingertips covered in a glaring red stain.

The burning sensation became more pronounced, spreading from my abdomen to my cheeks; my mouth was dry, and my heart was racing...

"I don't know..."
