Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The next few days were for the freshmen's military training.

The military training at Changyang University is of moderate intensity; it's not particularly strict, but it's not something you can just get by by doing haphazardly.

Every day, we would get up early to assemble, stand at attention, march in formation, kick in formation, and shout slogans. Under the still somewhat scorching sun in early September, we would practice for most of the day.

Sometimes in the evenings, we would sing together or attend lectures.

Shen Yu and Lin Anran were assigned to different squads.

Shen Yu was tall and was assigned a seat near the front.

Lin Anran was in the girls' formation, a bit far from Shen Yu.

During training, the two were separated by the crowd and could only occasionally catch a glimpse of each other's blurry figures.

As soon as the break whistle blew, Lin Anran would immediately push through the crowd and find the position of Shen Yu's squad.

Shen Yu would stand still immediately after the group disbanded, searching for Lin Anran until he saw her walking over.

Then, the two of them would huddle together and find a relatively cool and quiet corner to sit down.

Shen Yu would take out a water bottle, unscrew it, and hand it to Lin Anran. Lin Anran would lean against him, sip the water, or close her eyes to rest.

There were no intimate gestures between them, just simple cuddling and whispering conversations, but their oblivious focus and dependence, as if nothing else existed around them, still drew the attention of many classmates.

However, neither of them cared, completely immersed in their own world.

Every afternoon during military training, around three or four o'clock, when the sun wasn't so scorching, a young girl holding a baby would always appear outside the barbed wire fence of the training ground...

Zhang Shuyu would hold her daughter and walk slowly outside the fence, her eyes searching the area.

When she sees Shen Yu or Lin Anran, she stops and stands there quietly for a while.

They didn't shout or wave; they just watched.

She comes every day, as if performing a silent ritual, to confirm that they are all there, safe and sound, and not far away.

This made her feel a little more at ease in this unfamiliar city...

Zhang Shuyu held her child in her arms, gently pressing her face against her daughter's soft cheek. Her gaze pierced through the barbed wire fence, landing on the tall figure in the distance. Her voice was low, as if she were whispering:

"Look, baby, what are Daddy Shen and Mommy Ranran doing? They're doing military training! Aren't they great? Standing straight and marching in perfect formation..."

She coaxed him softly, her tone carrying a hint of pride and dependence that she herself was unaware of.

The baby in my arms opened his big, bright eyes and looked at the sea of ​​green camouflage uniforms inside. Hearing the loud slogans, he would sometimes excitedly shout "Ah, ah!" and wave his little hands.

Zhang Shuyu quickly and gently bounced her, whispering comforting words:

"Okay, okay, we won't shout, we'll just watch quietly and not disturb them..."

After watching for a while, estimating that it was almost time to rest, she would hold the child, slowly turn around, and walk back along the way she came.

The apartment was quiet, with only her and the baby inside. After a while, it felt empty.

So, when it was almost time to leave in the evening, she would take her child with her when she went out again.

"Let's go, baby, we're going to pick up Daddy Shen and Mommy Ranran and take them home~" she said softly as she helped the child put on her little jacket.

The baby seemed to sense the expectation in the mother's tone and appeared very happy, making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds and grabbing at things randomly with his little hands.

After locking the door, Zhang Shuyu carried the child and walked into the evening street.

The streetlights were already on, casting an orange-yellow glow on the road.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few people would glance curiously at the young girl carrying a baby and walking alone on the street.

But Zhang Shuyu simply kept her head down and walked quickly, shutting out those gazes.

Her destination was clear... the west gate of the school, the gate that Shen Yu and his team usually used after disbanding.

She arrived a little early, found an inconspicuous corner to stand in, and waited quietly.

The little one in my arms seemed to know who I was waiting for, and became unusually quiet, just staring wide-eyed at the people coming and going.

However, Zhang Shuyu only stood there for a short while, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over the surrounding streets and pedestrians.

Suddenly, her gaze seemed to be drawn in by something, abruptly fixing on a certain direction... It was the pedestrian walkway connecting to the school gate, where many people were coming and going.

Her eyes were fixed on the back of one of the people, her pupils suddenly contracting, like a hawk locking onto its prey.

That figure... of average height, somewhat thin, wearing an ordinary gray jacket, and walking with a slight hunch...

She stared at him for only two seconds, and just as the person seemed to be turning away from her sight, Zhang Shuyu's body reacted faster than her brain.

Clutching the child, she dashed off like an arrow released from a bow, chasing after the fleeing child!

She rushed over the fence outside the school gate, ignoring the pedestrians around her who were startled by her sudden movement. Her eyes were fixed on the gray figure in front of her, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, as if it would burst her ribs.

Blood rushed to my head, my ears were ringing, and everything in my vision blurred and faded, leaving only that receding silhouette, seemingly etched into my very bones...

She was carrying her child and ran, completely out of breath.

The baby in her arms seemed startled by the sudden, violent jolt, squirming restlessly and whimpering softly, but Zhang Shuyu had no time to comfort the baby.

She had only one thought in her mind... catch up with him! Look closely! Is that him?!

After chasing for about two minutes and crossing half a street, she was already panting heavily, her lungs were burning, and her arms holding the child were so weak that she almost lost all feeling.

But that gray figure finally drew closer, standing just a dozen meters ahead, walking at a leisurely pace...

Zhang Shuyu gritted her teeth, used the last of her strength, quickened her pace, and almost staggered as she rushed forward, blocking the way in front of that figure!

Her chest heaved violently, her breathing was heavy, and her eyes were bloodshot from running and excitement.

She stared intently at the bewildered man she had stopped, using all her strength...

From his almost burning throat, he forced out a trembling scream:

"You...you!"

The man stared in shock at Zhang Shuyu, his mouth slightly agape, then his brows furrowed.

"You... Zhang Shuyu? What are you doing here?!"
