Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The three of them collected their luggage, and the car that Shen Yu had booked on his phone had already arrived.

The driver was very helpful and helped load the luggage into the car.

The car drove out of the airport and merged into the traffic flow of Changyang City.

Along the way were towering glass curtain wall buildings, wide and clean streets, and lush tropical plants in the green belts that Zhang Shuyu couldn't name.

The air was humid and warm, carrying a slightly salty scent unique to seaside cities.

Everything seemed somewhat different from the inland city where she had lived for more than a decade.

Shen Yu booked a hotel online in advance, near Changyang University.

After driving for about forty minutes, the car stopped in front of a clean and tidy-looking mid-range hotel.

It was already noon.

They booked two rooms; Shen Yu and Lin Anran shared one, while Zhang Shuyu and her child stayed in the next room.

The room wasn't large, but it was fully equipped, clean, and bright.

After putting down her luggage and quickly washing up, Shen Yu went to the next room and gently knocked on the door.

Zhang Shuyu had just finished feeding her daughter and was holding her as she gently walked around the room to lull her to sleep.

Hearing the knock, she went to open the door.

"Xiaoyu, get ready, let's go out to eat."

"Okay, right away." Zhang Shuyu nodded quickly.

She was indeed a little hungry; she had left early in the morning and only received some simple snacks on the plane.

She carefully placed her drowsy daughter into the stroller, checked the bottles and diapers, and then pushed the stroller out of the hotel with Shen Yu and Lin Anran.

The afternoon sun was quite intense, but it was still relatively cool under the shade of the trees.

The three of them strolled slowly along the street outside the hotel, looking at the shops on both sides and searching for a place to eat.

The streets are lined with all sorts of small shops, offering local delicacies as well as national chain fast food, and the air is filled with the aroma of various foods.

Zhang Shuyu pushed the stroller, following half a step behind Shen Yu and Lin Anran.

She looked at the two people walking side by side in front of her. Shen Yu had one hand in his pocket and the other hand naturally holding Lin Anran's hand. Their pace was not fast or slow, and their eyes swept over the shops on the street, as if they were carefully selecting something.

Lin Anran walked beside him, tilting her head slightly as she looked at the signs along the roadside. Occasionally, she would point to a shop and whisper something to Shen Yu.

They seemed relaxed and natural, without any of the awkwardness or bewilderment one would expect from someone new to a big, unfamiliar city.

Although they were the same age, only eighteen or nineteen, Shen Yu's composure and control beyond his years, and Lin Anran's complete trust and reliance, made Zhang Shuyu feel... they were amazing.

They were able to handle the new and complex environment with such ease and composure.

In comparison, my helplessness at the airport just now and my nervousness walking on unfamiliar streets now seem so... clumsy.

The difference is really quite large.

However, she felt no jealousy or resentment; instead, she felt a deeper sense of relief and gratitude.

Fortunately, she met Shen Yu.

Fortunately, this person was her brother.

Having such a brother is truly an incredible blessing.

He completely changed the bleak and hopeless life trajectory of her and her daughter.

Looking at Shen Yu's tall and straight back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up. She felt a sense of relief and quickened her pace to catch up.

The three of them found a clean-looking restaurant that served local specialties and had lunch there.

We ordered several signature dishes, which were on the lighter and sweeter side, quite different from what they usually eat, but they were all delicious.

During lunch, Shen Yu briefly mentioned the afternoon's plans: they could stroll around the vicinity of Changyang University to familiarize themselves with the environment, or go for a walk on the beach to enjoy the sea view.

Zhang Shuyu and Lin Anran had no objections and listened to Shen Yu.

After dinner, the sun was blazing outside, making our skin feel hot.

The three decided to go back to the hotel to rest for an hour or two before going out again when the sun wasn't so strong.

Lin Anran was afraid of the sun, so she not only wore a wide-brimmed sun hat when she went out, but also carefully applied several layers of sunscreen before daring to come out with Shen Yu.

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to set, and the temperature was no longer so high.

The three of them went out again and took a taxi to a nearby beach that wasn't particularly crowded.

There weren't many people at the beach, just a few tourists and a few locals taking a walk.

As soon as I got off the car, the salty, damp sea breeze hit me.

Zhang Shuyu pushed the stroller and stood at the edge of the beach, seeing the real sea for the first time.

The azure sea stretches to the horizon, merging with the equally azure sky in the distance.

The waves surged onto the beach in layers, then receded, making a rushing sound. Seagulls circled and cried out in the sky.

"Wow..." Zhang Shuyu couldn't help but let out a small exclamation, her eyes sparkling.

She bent down and whispered to the baby in the stroller, who was curiously looking around with wide eyes:

"Baby, look, this is the ocean! Isn't it big and beautiful?"

Shen Yu'an seemed captivated by the vast, unseen landscape, waving her little hands and babbling...

Lin Anran and Shen Yu also stood on the beach, looking at the sea in front of them.

This wasn't their first time seeing the sea.

At the beginning of their vacation, they went to the beach in another city together.

That time, however... I spent most of my time in the hotel room...

She remembered that both she and Shen Yu had many marks left on their bodies, some of which hadn't faded even after half a month, preventing them from fully enjoying their time swimming in the sea...

Thinking of this, Lin Anran turned her head, leaned close to Shen Yu's ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, her voice extremely low, carrying a hint of ambiguity:

"Yu Yu...is there not a trace of me left on you now?"

Shen Yu was taken aback by her sudden, suggestive question.

I subconsciously glanced at Zhang Shuyu, who was bending over and playing with the child not far away.

After confirming that she wasn't paying attention, he slightly turned his head, lowered his voice again, and spoke in her ear at a volume only the two of them could hear.

With a hint of indulgence and tenderness, he whispered:

"Sweetie, stop fooling around...we'll talk about it tonight..."
