Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The heavy iron gate slammed shut behind them again with a dull thud.

Shen Yu stood in the open space in front of the prison gate, slowly inhaled, and then slowly exhaled.

My gaze unconsciously drifted to the edge of the flowerbed not far away...

Lin Anran rushed over almost the instant he appeared.

She stood there, slightly tiptoeing, craning her neck, her eyes fixed on the heavy door.

Seeing him come out, the anxiety on her face instantly lit up.

"Excessive!"

She ran up to him, slightly out of breath, and looked up at his face, eagerly trying to discern something from his calm expression.

He was only inside for a short time, about twenty minutes, but those twenty minutes felt incredibly long to her.

She could imagine what the scene was like, what kind of person he would be facing, and what weighty questions he would be asked.

Seeing him walk out unharmed, she felt half relieved, but the other half remained anxious about the possible answer he might receive.

"How is it?" She reached out, seemingly wanting to touch his arm, but hesitated, and in the end only gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Did you get any answers?"

Shen Yu lowered his eyes, looking at her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with worry and anxiety.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead reached out and took her hand, which was gently tugging at his sleeve.

"Hmm..." he responded softly, his voice slightly hoarse.

He didn't stop. He took her hand, turned around, and walked slowly along the slightly secluded road in the direction they had come from.

Lin Anran was pulled along by him and obediently followed beside him, but her gaze remained fixed on his profile.

After walking a few steps, Shen Yu spoke again:

"I asked...and I do have a twin sister."

"Huh?" Lin Anran couldn't help but exclaim softly, her steps unconsciously pausing for a moment before she quickly caught up.

Sister? The twins'...sister?

She processed the information, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Shen Yu nodded, his gaze fixed on the empty road ahead, his voice still flat:

"Yes, it was abandoned at an orphanage right after it was born."

"Drop..." Lin Anran's voice faltered. For some reason, hearing the word "drop" felt like a small thorn pricking her heart...

She instinctively reached back and gripped Shen Yu's hand tightly, as if trying to convey some strength to him through this action...

Shen Yu let out a breath and said, "I wouldn't be surprised at all the beastly things that man is capable of..."

Now, Shen Yu feels a bit scared when she thinks about how that man raised her since she was a child.

That's probably because I was obedient when I was young; otherwise, I would have been the one who died.

The younger sister he abandoned... I don't know if she was lucky or unlucky...

A silence fell between them. Lin Anran's heart sank. Looking at Shen Yu's expressionless profile, she knew that beneath his calm exterior, a turbulent storm was brewing...

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, but still asked the most direct question on her mind, her voice very soft:

"So... is it possible to find it?"

After asking the question, she immediately added, "Or rather... do you want to find her?"

All she can do now is hope that she can empathize with Shen Yu and understand his feelings at this moment.

After learning that you have a very close younger sister, should you go and find her?

Shen Yu's pace seemed to slow down slightly, but he quickly resumed his previous rhythm.

After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head.

"Can't find it..."

"We don't even know which orphanage it is, we have no clue whatsoever... It's been too long."

"I can't find it at all..."

Then, he stopped and turned around to face Lin Anran.

He still held her hand, and with his other hand he raised it to gently brush away a strand of hair that had been blown by the wind onto her cheek, his movements very tender.

"Let's leave it for now... There's no need to find her. Maybe she's doing just fine now. Even if we find her, it'll only upset her, won't it..."

Shen Yu wondered, what if his sister, whom he had never met, had already been adopted by a wealthy family...

Maybe she's living the life of a rich heiress right now...

Even if I find her, what can I do?

Being approached by a poor older brother you barely know must have been incredibly distasteful and distressing.

"Um..."

Lin Anran nodded in agreement, then leaned close to Shen Yu's arm and whispered:

"Well... don't rush to look for it. If you're meant to be, you might just meet again sometime..."

Shen Yu listened to Lin Anran's words, and a smile curved his lips.

"That's true..."

He spoke, his tone much gentler. He raised the hand that had just brushed her hair and gently rubbed the top of her head.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go. We've come out for a bit, how about we go for a walk?"

He knew that Lin Anran had been worried about him and stayed with him these past few days, and her mood must have been affected by him, making her somewhat depressed.

Seeing the light return to his eyes, Lin Anran felt a sense of relief.

She immediately flashed a bright smile and nodded vigorously:

"Okay, okay!"

The two walked hand in hand along the road, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the bustling downtown shopping district.

Inside the carriage, Lin Anran leaned on his shoulder, her fingers unconsciously tracing circles on his palm.

Shen Yu relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

As the car entered the bustling commercial district, Shen Yu paid the fare and led Lin Anran out of the car.

The two were shopping together. Lin Anran held a newly bought ice cream in her hand, licking it little by little, and occasionally handed it to Shen Yu so that he could have some too.

Shen Yu had one hand in his pocket, while Lin Anran held his other hand.

However, this deliberately created, brief tranquility did not last long.

"Buzzing..."

Lin Anran's phone vibrated in her pocket; a message had arrived.

She took out her phone and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a message from Su Linxue, since she was the only one sending messages lately.

Lin Anran glanced at the message first, her eyebrows slightly raised, and then she handed the phone to Shen Yu:

"Take a look at the message sent by Su Linxue..."

"Um?"

Shen Yu took the phone, looked at the messages on it, and couldn't help but frown.

"Please tell Shen Yu that I subtly inquired about the question he asked a few days ago at home, and I found out that Shen Yu actually has a younger sister, but she was abandoned shortly after birth... by my mother and uncle, in an orphanage, I think it was an orphanage my mother found..."
