Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The movie ended, the lights came on, and the sounds of people leaving filled the air.

Lin Anran and Shen Yu's hands naturally parted the moment the light returned.

Shen Yu withdrew his hand and moved his stiff fingers.

Lin Anran also lowered her head, looking at her empty palms. A little bit of disappointment welled up in her heart, but it was quickly dispelled by a greater sense of satisfaction and sweetness.

A full thirty minutes!

He held my hand and hugged me!

This made her lips curl into an uncontrollable smile, and the heat in her cheeks hasn't completely subsided yet.

The two followed the flow of people out of the theater.

The bright lights and bustling noise of the mall outside were a stark contrast to the darkness and privacy of the room, giving Lin Anran a feeling of being in another world...

"It's actually quite good, with several plot twists. At least it's not a bad movie; it's alright."

"Yes, that's right." Lin Anran nodded quickly in agreement, but in reality, she could barely remember any details of the plot...

She couldn't possibly enjoy the movie at that point...

Shen Yu turned his head and glanced at her.

The silly, sweet smile that hadn't yet faded from her face.

He didn't expose him, but simply raised his wrist to check his watch.

"It's 4:30... Do you want to go anywhere else? Or should we just go home?"

Without even thinking, Lin Anran immediately replied, "Anything is fine! Whatever you say!"

She used the same rhetoric because it truly suited her. She didn't need to have any opinions of her own; as long as Shen Yu was around, she was satisfied.

Shen Yu glanced at his watch: "Then... let's buy some groceries and go home. We'll have something simple for dinner."

"Yes!" Lin Anran nodded immediately, her eyes shining.

Going home is the best option.

The two went to the supermarket, bought some groceries, and walked back together.

"I'll cook for you in a bit!" Lin Anran offered to cook, because she had received praise from Shen Yu after cooking for her the night before...

She also wanted Shen Yu's praise...

Shen Yu nodded and said, "Okay, but let's do it together. I'll help, and you can cook."

"Okay!"

When she got home, Lin Anran felt that this was her real home. She hadn't felt this sense of belonging and security for many, many years.

Afterwards, Lin Anran changed her shoes, picked up the groceries, and headed into the kitchen.

She placed the vegetables on the counter and turned to get an apron from the hook on the wall.

Shen Yu also came in just then. The kitchen wasn't big, and the two of them almost brushed past each other.

"I'll wash the vegetables."

At this moment, as Lin Anran turned to reach for the apron,

Shen Yu also subconsciously moved aside, trying to make room for her...

Just as Lin Anran reached out and grabbed the apron strap, leaning slightly forward,

Shen Yu slowed her pace slightly as she stepped aside, raising her hand to steady herself against the nearby cabinet.

Just keep probing forward...

"!!"

The next second, his palm landed firmly on Lin Anran's right chest...

It wasn't just a light brush; it was a real, tangible touch, through the thin T-shirt and the bra underneath... the palm of my hand completely pressed against it!

Time seemed to stand still...

Lin Anran froze, still holding onto the apron strap.

Shen Yu's hand was also frozen in place.

"hiss--"

Shen Yu seemed to be struck by a high-voltage electric shock, and suddenly pulled his hand back, the movement so large that it created a gust of wind.

He stumbled back several steps, his back slamming against the kitchen doorframe with a loud thud. His face instantly flushed red, from his forehead to the base of his neck...

Those usually calm and even eyes were now wide open, filled with unprecedented shock, panic, and bewilderment; even the pupils were trembling slightly...

"Ah, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to." His voice suddenly rose, then quickly faltered due to extreme embarrassment, becoming a breathy, incoherent murmur.

"No! I didn't see it! Are you...are you alright?"

As he spoke, he waved his hands frantically, seemingly trying to explain but unsure what to do with them.

His gaze no longer dared to look at Lin Anran's chest, but instead drifted to the ceiling, the floor, and the walls, refusing to look at her.

She was completely flustered and embarrassed, losing all of her usual composure...

Lin Anran was also taken aback by this sudden, overly "solid" touch.

But her first reaction wasn't shame or anger, or self-protection; it was a complete blank...

She felt no aversion to Shen Yu's touch, and her body didn't even instinctively defend itself.

Until she saw Shen Yu's reaction.

Looking at his flushed face, his hands trembling slightly with panic, and his bewildered eyes...

And that incoherent, stammering apology...

Thump, thump, thump—

Lin Anran's heart felt as if it had been struck three times by a heavy hammer, and then began to pound at an unprecedentedly frantic speed!

With a "whoosh," all the blood rushed to the top of my head!

Oh my god!

Shen Yu...he...he he he he!!!

My face turned red! Completely red!

His ears turned red! He was panicking!

He's stuttering! He's avoiding my gaze!

Because...because he accidentally...touched me?

This realization made her breathing quicken unconsciously.

But what followed was a twisted ecstasy and excitement!

It's simply...

So...so cute!

How could he have such an adorable reaction?!

Where is his usual calm demeanor?! Where is his composure, his ability to remain unfazed even if the sky were to fall?!

Just because you touched me, it turned out like this?!

I can't believe it! It's so cute!

She bit her lower lip hard to keep herself from laughing out loud or making a strange noise.

But his eyes were already frighteningly bright, flashing with a strange light, staring unblinkingly at Shen Yu, whom he was meeting for the first time.

"N-nothing..."

She heard her own voice ring out; it was surprisingly steady, though with a barely perceptible tremor.

"It's nothing, I just... accidentally bumped into it, don't worry about it..."

She even tried to force a reassuring smile, but the curve of her lips seemed uncontrollable, making it look more like she was suppressing immense excitement...

Shen Yu quickly walked out of the kitchen and said, "I'm not staying here anymore, I...I'm going to tidy up the house."

"Ah... okay."

Lin Anran verbally agreed, but she felt a little disappointed. She actually hoped Shen Yu would come back... and continue to stay with her in this cramped kitchen...

She couldn't force him to do something he didn't want to do.

but...

She wanted to see that reaction again...

She has to see it again!

Lin Anran's eyes seemed to be filled with fighting spirit; she had secretly made up her mind! No matter what it took, she had to see Shen Yu in that state again!

She liked it so much, she couldn't help liking it...
