Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

"ah..."

Shen Yu had already guessed that she was there to ask about this, but she was a little surprised that she was asking so urgently.

He thinks that most people, after being blocked or deleted, would choose to remain silent and never contact the other person again.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaowen confronted him directly.

Shen Yu stared at Zhou Xiaowen's face, sighed, and slowly said:

"I apologize for this, but please don't ask about the details."

Zhou Xiaowen looked surprised, her mouth slightly agape, and blinked as she asked, "Then...did you really delete it voluntarily?"

"Yes, it was voluntary, I'm sorry."

Zhou Xiaowen stared at Shen Yu's face, her chest heaving.

I don't believe it.

Shen Yu looked at her calmly: "I'm serious."

Zhou Xiaowen stared at him, trying to find something on his face, but there was nothing.

She recalled Lin Anran's words from yesterday, and a sudden surge of doubt welled up within her...

She finally realized that something was wrong...

She took a step forward, lowering her voice: "Tell me the truth..."

"Is it... related to Lin Anran?"

Shen Yu didn't speak, he just looked at her.

The silence made Zhou Xiaowen's heart sink to the bottom.

She had already guessed that it was related to Lin Anran, because Lin Anran was acting very strangely, changing her attitude towards her constantly.

Moreover, Shen Yu doesn't seem like the type of person who would casually delete other people's messages.

"I knew it... I knew something was wrong with her. All that stuff she told me yesterday, about having family problems... about treating me like a friend, it was all a lie, right?"

"You're overthinking it," Shen Yu interrupted her, preventing her from continuing.

Then, taking a deep breath, he said seriously:

"Zhou Xiaowen, don't delve into my relationship with her anymore. If you want to hate me, then hate me. I'm not as friendly as you think, that's all."

After saying that, Shen Yu left. To him, Zhou Xiaowen was just an ordinary classmate. There was no need to say much, and he didn't care what she thought of him.

Zhou Xiaowen stood frozen in place, watching Shen Yu's retreating figure, feeling for the first time... how utterly unfamiliar he was...

This isn't...this isn't the class monitor she remembered, this isn't Shen Yu she recalled...it shouldn't be like this.

He used to be very friendly. He would patiently respond to any questions his classmates had, was willing to help with anything, and never refused anyone. He even spoke in a gentle and kind manner.

But what's wrong with Shen Yu now? Why is he so cold to her? Why did he delete her for no reason? And why is he suddenly getting so close to Lin Anran?

All of this left Zhou Xiaowen completely bewildered.

Zhou Xiaowen stood frozen in place, watching Shen Yu's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, feeling a chill run through her body.

She slowly turned around, head down, and walked heavily back to the classroom.

The classroom was noisy, and no one noticed her unusual behavior.

She walked back to her seat, sat down blankly, and unconsciously scanned the classroom.

Then, her gaze met a pair of eyes...

It's Lin Anran!

Lin Anran sat in her seat, turned to the side, looking at her.

His face wore his usual gentle smile, the curve of his lips just right.

But those eyes...

Zhou Xiaowen's heart clenched.

There was not a trace of a smile in Lin Anran's eyes.

His eyes were calm and deep, like two cold pools of water.

She just watched Zhou Xiaowen quietly, the smile on her lips unchanged, but within that smile, there was a clear, undisguised sarcasm and an almost provocative smugness...

That gaze was like a needle, piercing Zhou Xiaowen's eyes and making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She abruptly lowered her head, her heart pounding in her chest, a chilling, almost instinctive feeling washing over her.

The shock of Shen Yu's cold words hadn't subsided when Lin Anran's undisguised malicious gaze delivered another blow.

She finally realized it.

Everything Lin Anran said to her yesterday—that gentleness, that understanding—was all a lie!

It was all an act! It was all to lower her guard, to keep her completely in the dark like a fool!

Zhou Xiaowen bit her lower lip hard, so hard that she tasted blood.

Shen Yu has already made his stance clear, and Lin Anran has also dropped her pretense.

Whatever she does will only make things more embarrassing for herself...

She could only lower her head, pretending she hadn't seen anything, that nothing had happened...

During lunch, Zhou Xiaowen didn't go near Shen Yu and the others anymore; she didn't dare to go.

At noon, Shen Yu and Lin Anran ate together again, and the two seemed to have gotten used to it.

However, the classmates still couldn't accept it so quickly, and didn't understand why the two suddenly became so close, having eaten together for three consecutive days.

The boys even started to imitate the dishes Shen Yu ate... wondering if it was because Shen Yu's food was more appealing to Lin Anran?

Both of them were among the top students in their class, so some people speculated that they might be discussing some academic issues.

Only Zhou Xiaowen knew that it wasn't like that... The relationship between these two people was unusual; they might not be lovers, but it was definitely more complicated than that of lovers...

The day passed more peacefully than usual.

Zhou Xiaowen didn't approach Shen Yu again, nor did she speak to Lin Anran again.

She just watched from afar, her eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of wariness and a vague sense of loss.

Lin Anran noticed her gaze, but didn't care.

Today, she was mostly focused on "making a good impression".

She answered questions in a gentle and polite tone, and spoke appropriately with her classmates, perfectly embodying the impeccable Lin Anran.

Only she knew how much of her attention was actually on Shen Yu beneath those seemingly ordinary actions...

Watching him write with his head down, watching him turn the pages of his book, watching his quiet profile when he occasionally glances up at the blackboard...

Shen Yu was no different from usual.

Attending classes, reading books, taking notes, and occasionally exchanging a few words with classmates.

He didn't seem to care much about Lin Anran's performance today, and didn't glance at her much.

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of evening self-study.

The classroom instantly became lively, filled with the sounds of packing bags, saying goodbye, and chairs scraping against the floor.

Shen Yu slowly closed the book and put his things into his schoolbag.

Lin Anran also finished packing around the same time, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and secretly followed Shen Yu's movements with her eyes.

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other, down the stairs, across the playground, and toward the school gate.

The streetlights at the school gate were bright, illuminating the bustling students and parents.

Shen Yu paused at the door for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Lin Anran quickly caught up from behind, stopping about half a step away from him.

She tilted her head slightly to look at him, her eyes sparkling in the light: "You waited for me especially today..."
