Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the streets in a warm orange hue, which gradually faded, giving way to the deep blue of night.

Shen Yu and Lin Anran had been sitting in the small coffee shop across the street for four or five hours.

The coffee got cold again after being refilled, and the pastries remained untouched.

Their eyes never left the shop across the street.

Shen Yu held Shen Yu'an the whole time. The little guy was quite well-behaved, sleeping most of the time. When he was awake, Lin Anran would soothe him with toys and a bottle, and he didn't cry or fuss.

Occasionally, she would open her big, dark eyes and look in a certain direction outside the glass window, waving her little hand as if searching for something.

Time stretched out endlessly in the anxious wait.

Lin Anran would glance at her phone every now and then, then at the person opposite her.

Shen Yu stood like a silent statue, his arms holding the child stiff from holding the same position for so long, but his eyes remained as sharp as ever.

Finally, around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the glass door of the restaurant across the street was pushed open.

Zhang Shuyu, dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, came out carrying a small cloth bag.

She was slightly hunched over, head down, and walking quickly, as if trying to escape something...

"They're out!" Lin Anran exclaimed softly and immediately stood up.

Shen Yu also stood up suddenly, his movements so fast that they startled Shen Yu'an, who had just fallen asleep in his arms.

The little guy grumbled in dissatisfaction, but Shen Yu didn't have time to comfort him at the moment. He picked up the child and quickly walked out of the coffee shop with Lin Anran.

Just as they were about to cross the street to give chase, they saw another person rush out of the restaurant...it was the young male waiter who had tried to help Zhang Shuyu that afternoon...

He was holding a white plastic bag. He ran a few steps to catch up with Zhang Shuyu, a slightly embarrassed but good-natured smile on his face. He shoved the bag into her hand, saying something...

Zhang Shuyu, however, kept walking forward without stopping, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, her face showing undisguised resistance.

She didn't even glance at the male waiter, nor at the bag; she just waved her hands frantically...

The male waiter, holding the bag, stood awkwardly in place, watching Zhang Shuyu's departing figure, and scratched his head helplessly...

It's now!

Shen Yu and Lin Anran exchanged a glance and quickened their pace in tacit agreement, crossing the not-so-wide street.

They didn't shout; they simply moved as fast as they could, flanking Zhang Shuyu from the side.

Then, a few steps away from her, he stopped and blocked her path...

Zhang Shuyu kept her head down and walked quickly, almost bumping into someone. She suddenly stopped... startled, she looked up.

His eyes were full of wariness and vigilance, and he instinctively wanted to back away...

The next second, her gaze met the two people standing in front of her... a tall, handsome young man with a tense face, and a pretty and gentle young woman.

The man was holding a small baby wrapped in a light-colored swaddle...

Zhang Shuyu was stunned...

The person in front of me was somewhat unfamiliar, yet... there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Especially the man's eyebrows and eyes...

Zhang Shuyu hadn't fully recovered from the sudden roadblock.

However, at that moment, the male waiter who had been standing still seemed to have noticed something amiss and quickly ran over, stepping between Zhang Shuyu and Shen Yulin Anran:

"Who...who are you...?"

He wasn't particularly burly, but he formed a barrier in front of the slender Zhang Shuyu.

This sudden turn of events made Lin Anran frown, and Shen Yu's gaze also darkened, but he ignored the male waiter blocking the way, and didn't even glance at him.

His gaze remained fixed on Zhang Shuyu, who was standing behind the male waiter, from beginning to end.

Shen Yu took a deep breath and stopped hesitating.

He completely ignored the wary male waiter, took half a step forward, stretched out his arm slightly, and gently lifted the tiny baby wrapped in light-colored swaddling clothes in his arms, presenting it to Zhang Shuyu.

Shen Yu's voice was not loud, but he asked clearly, word by word:

"Is this child... yours?"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, with a deafening boom.

Zhang Shuyu felt a buzzing in her ears, her eyes widened suddenly, and her pupils contracted sharply due to extreme shock.

Her gaze was fixed intently on the face of the baby being presented to her...

Those furrowed little brows, those pink lips slightly parted in unease, those dark eyes that were now looking over blankly...

Zhang Shuyu's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. She staggered and involuntarily took a small step forward.

"Yes! It's my child! How did she get here?! How did she end up in your hands?!"

Zhang Shuyu's voice was hoarse and shrill, completely changed.

She lunged forward suddenly, her trembling hands no longer tentatively reaching out, but grabbing straight for the swaddled baby in Shen Yu's arms!

Her movements were too sudden and forceful; Shen Yu, worried that she might hurt the child, abruptly pulled her arm, which was supporting the child, back.

At the same time, he used his other hand to block Zhang Shuyu's wildly grabbing hand, and quickly took half a step back.

"Watch out! Calm down! Xiaoyu! Calm down and listen to me!"

Zhang Shuyu missed her target, staggered, and almost fell.

But Shen Yu's address made her stop abruptly, remaining leaning forward, breathing heavily, her chest heaving.

She tried to focus, looking at the man holding the child in front of her.

The mind, which had been overwhelmed by the appearance of the baby, finally managed to squeeze back a sliver of reason.

She stared intently at Shen Yu's face, her gaze traveling from his furrowed brows to his straight nose, and finally to his eyes...

Who is it? And why is it holding its own child?

And...why does he know himself? Why does he know his own name?

Why does his appearance seem a bit strange? Have I seen him somewhere before?

No...impossible. The two people in front of me are both quite good-looking. If I've seen them somewhere before, I wouldn't forget them.

"Who...who are you? Why is my child in your hands? She should be..."

Zhang Shuyu was already somewhat confused and didn't know what to say. Her mind was full of doubts.

The male waiter next to him was completely dumbfounded, his mouth opening and closing in disbelief, utterly confused about the situation.

"Child? What child? Whose child?" These words swirled in his mind, leaving him completely bewildered.

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Seeing that she had finally calmed down a bit and seemed to be able to communicate slightly, Shen Yu slowly spoke:

"The child is safe, don't worry..."

Let me introduce myself first...
