Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu rushed out of the kitchen almost simultaneously and plunged into the living room.

He stood in the middle of the living room, taking several deep breaths to try to suppress the burning heat on his face.

Calm down... It was just an accident... It's nothing serious.

He walked to the window, opened it a crack, and let the cool evening breeze in, trying to cool down his burning cheeks and ears.

My heart is still beating a little fast, but it's much better than when I was about to explode in the kitchen.

He picked up the water glass on the coffee table and drank a few mouthfuls of cold water.

The cool liquid slid down my throat, slightly quenching the restlessness in my heart.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Lin Anran's incredibly bright eyes, staring at him without blinking, appeared before him again.

Seriously... this is unbelievable.

It was just an accidental bump.

I never thought girls were some kind of monster. What's wrong with touching them?

But why... such a strong reaction?

The strong mental state he had spent so much time and effort building up was completely shattered by this small accident.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, his gaze unconsciously falling on the kitchen doorway.

The sounds of Lin Anran washing and chopping vegetables could be heard from inside, along with the occasional off-key tune she hummed.

The voice was light and cheerful, carrying an obvious sense of pleasure...

Shen Yu shifted his gaze to the darkening sky outside the window.

My face stopped blushing, my ears stopped burning, and my heartbeat gradually calmed down.

On the surface, he seemed to have returned to his usual self.

But only he knew that somewhere deep inside, there was still a restless unease.

He began to reflect on why he was acting this way. He could remain calm and composed in most situations, so why did he panic when faced with something like this?

and many more...

Perhaps this isn't such a bad thing.

This might prove that he and Shen Daoliang are not the same.

Shen Daoliang would definitely not react like that. He is indeed that guy's son, but... he is also his mother's son.

Perhaps my mother's genes can change me, preventing me from becoming someone like Shen Daoliang.

This reaction and state are proof!

He can still be saved!

That's right! You shouldn't be ashamed of this! You should accept yourself as you are! Blushing, a racing heart, and shyness are all normal human reactions! Why try to control them?

Often, showing a more emotional reaction in certain situations makes one more "human".

Having figured all this out, Shen Yu felt much better and no longer needed to worry about anything.

This is...this is a good thing!

Lin Anran hummed a song in the kitchen, deftly chopping vegetables, but her heart was bubbling with excitement, like boiling water.

Shen Yu looked so incredibly cute just now!

Whenever she recalls his face turning bright red instantly, his flustered eyes, and his stammering apology, she can't help but laugh, her lips twitching with embarrassment.

That completely different demeanor from her usual calm and composed self made her feel like she had discovered a new continent, so excited that her fingertips were tingling.

I want to see more...

I want to watch it again!

But... how can I "accidentally" let him bump into me again?

As she cooked, her mind raced.

The kitchen... Next time he comes in, should I pretend to slip and fall on him?

No, that's too deliberate; Shen Yu will definitely see through it.

And if you really fall, it would be troublesome if you got your clothes dirty or burned.

So... when you're clearing the table after dinner, pretend you didn't hold the bowl properly, and he'll definitely reach out to take it from you, and then...

That won't work either; it would be a waste if the bowl broke, and besides, he'd mostly just be catching the bowl and wouldn't actually touch her...

She ladled the stir-fried dishes onto a plate, her mind still conjuring up various "unexpected" scenarios, but she rejected them all one by one.

Either it's too fake, or the risk is too high...

After a while, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Lin Anran brought the prepared dishes to the table and set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Shen Yu, dinner's ready!" she called out to the living room.

Shen Yu responded, got up from the sofa, and walked over.

He had returned to his usual self, his face expressionless and his eyes calm and still.

Lin Anran secretly observed his expression, feeling a little uneasy.

Could it be that he doesn't want to get close to me for the time being because of what just happened?

The two sat down on opposite sides of the table, in their usual position, facing each other.

Lin Anran picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't taste it.

Her eyes darted around, watching Shen Yu eating quietly across from her.

How about...give it a try?

She bit the tip of her chopsticks, hesitated for a few seconds, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stood up.

Shen Yu looked up at her with some confusion.

Lin Anran didn't say anything, but simply picked up her bowl and her chair.

Then, under Shen Yu's slightly surprised gaze, she moved her chair next to Shen Yu, sitting down close to him.

The movements were executed in one smooth motion, with a hint of recklessness.

After sitting down, she held her breath and stared intently at Shen Yu's profile, waiting for his reaction.

Will he move away? Will he look uncomfortable? Will he say, "Why are you sitting so close?"

However, Shen Yu only paused for a moment when she moved over, turned his head and glanced at her.

There was no resistance, displeasure, or desire to distance himself in his eyes.

He glanced at it only once, then turned back and continued eating.

Lin Anran was stunned, and then joy welled up inside her!

He didn't dodge!

He didn't feel uncomfortable at all!

This shows that he doesn't reject her getting close! It means that what happened in the kitchen might have made him a little embarrassed, but it didn't make him want to distance himself from her!

Lin Anran immediately picked up her chopsticks and happily began to eat. She even deliberately nudged Shen Yu's arm lightly and casually with her elbow.

Anyway, she felt relieved! As long as that incident didn't cause them to drift apart, that was fine!

"The food was delicious today," Shen Yu said suddenly, his tone casual.

Lin Anran was biting the tip of her chopsticks when she heard this, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She immediately used her chopsticks to pick up a large piece of what looked like the best meat from the plate and put it into Shen Yu's bowl without thinking.

"Then eat more!" Her voice was clear and bright, filled with undisguised joy and eagerness, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

Shen Yu paused for a moment, then picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

He chewed a couple of times and nodded: "Mmm, delicious."

Lin Anran felt even more satisfied watching him eat the food she picked up with her own chopsticks without changing his expression!

She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and picked up her chopsticks again, this time choosing some greens: "Try this too!"

Shen Yu continued to accept whatever she offered; whatever she picked up, he ate.

Lin Anran ate by herself while frequently adding food to Shen Yu's bowl, doing so with great pleasure.

Shen Yu didn't refuse, but would occasionally say, "That's enough, you can eat too," but there was no impatience in her tone.

The meal was made especially warm and cozy by Lin Anran's constant feeding.

Lin Anran didn't dwell on her little scheme for the time being.

Because this... seems to be good too.
