Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Just a few hours later, as dawn was breaking outside, Lin Anran woke up.

She hadn't slept well at all; her mind was like a party, constantly replaying everything that had happened the night before...

Cake, hugs, confessions... confirming the relationship...

Every scene made her heart race, and she couldn't help but smile, turning her head back and forth.

Finally, he simply kept his eyes open and stared at the ceiling until the sky began to lighten.

She couldn't lie still any longer, so she quietly got up, walked to the bedroom door, and gently opened it a crack.

The living room was dimly lit and very quiet.

Shen Yu was still lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket, breathing evenly, seemingly sleeping soundly.

Lin Anran's heart started racing again.

She stared at it for a while, then, as if drawn by something unseen,

She gently opened the door, tiptoed out, and moved out little by little without making a sound.

She walked to the sofa and squatted down.

From this distance, I can see Shen Yu's sleeping face more clearly.

He had long eyelashes, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips.

She appeared less aloof and more serene than when she was awake...

Lin Anran was somewhat mesmerized...

This is... my boyfriend...

He slept right in front of me, completely unguarded, within reach...

A strong, irresistible urge surged up within me.

Her gaze fell on Shen Yu's profile near the edge of the sofa, where the skin looked smooth and clean in the morning light.

As if possessed, she held her breath and leaned forward again.

Then, extremely slowly and cautiously, he peeked over.

She gently, like a feather, touched Shen Yu's cheek with her soft lips...

My heart almost stopped beating at that moment.

She recoiled as if burned, her cheeks instantly burning hot, even her ears felt hot.

She covered her mouth, her eyes wide, staring at the still-sleeping Shen Yu, feeling a mix of nervousness, excitement, and a secret thrill of having accomplished something wrong...

They kissed...

Secretly...

She dared not linger any longer; she practically scrambled to her feet and stood up in a panic.

Then, like a thief, I tiptoed quickly into the bathroom and quietly closed the door behind me...

In the living room, the moment the bathroom door gently closed...

On the sofa, Shen Yu, who had been fast asleep, twitched her eyelashes.

Then, slowly, he opened his eyes...

His eyes were clear, without the drowsiness of someone who had just woken up.

In fact, he had already woken up when Lin Anran opened the bedroom door a crack.

The vigilance from living alone for many years, coupled with a mind burdened with too many things, leads to shallow sleep.

He was already awake the moment she approached...

He just didn't move... he was pretending to be asleep.

He lay on the sofa, raised his hand, and touched the spot where Lin Anran had just kissed him.

After a while, Shen Yu sat up from the sofa. His movements were unhurried, and his face showed no particular expression, as if he had just woken up.

He folded the blanket, stood up, and stretched his stiff neck.

Just then, the bathroom door clicked open from the inside.

Lin Anran came out after washing up. Her hair was neatly combed, and her face was still a little damp, making her look fresh and clean.

But when she looked up and saw Shen Yu standing in the living room, she paused in her tracks.

A fleeting hint of unease crossed her face, and the tips of her ears turned a faint red.

"Good morning!"

She greeted him quietly, her eyes darting around, not daring to look Shen Yu directly in the eye.

Shen Yu looked up at her, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

"Okay, good morning."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom to wash up.

"Didn't you sleep well? You went to bed too late, only slept for a little over four hours," Shen Yu asked Lin Anran.

"I'm fine..." Lin Anran nodded. She hadn't slept well, but she was still quite energetic...

"Well, if you're really too sleepy, try to hold on until lunch break and take a nap."

"Okay, I know."

The two ate a simple breakfast.

After finishing their meal, they packed their bags and went out together.

The morning air was cool, and there were already many students on their way to school.

The two walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

Lin Anran's hands hung at her sides, her fingers unconsciously curling and then relaxing.

She looked at Shen Yu's hand hanging by his side, which was not far from her.

She felt a little itchy and a little nervous.

Now that we're a couple... we can hold hands openly, right?

She stole a glance at Shen Yu's profile; he was looking straight ahead with a calm expression.

Lin Anran took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

She quietly moved her hand, little by little, toward Shen Yu's hand.

Her fingertips tentatively touched the back of Shen Yu's hand.

She only touched it briefly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, before quickly pulling back.

She lowered her head, pretending nothing had happened.

Shen Yu paused for a moment the instant her fingertips touched the back of his hand.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Anran, who was standing next to him with her head down.

He didn't speak, nor did he look at her.

He simply reached out and directly grasped Lin Anran's hand, which was hanging at her side.

It wasn't a very tight grip, but it was steady, giving off a reassuring feeling.

Lin Anran raised her head, glanced at Shen Yu's profile, and then smiled...

The two walked hand in hand down the street in the early morning.

The surroundings were filled with the noise of people and traffic, but to them, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only the warmth of their palms touching.

As she walked, Lin Anran suddenly remembered something, looked up at Shen Yu with bright eyes, filled with anticipation and a hint of uncertainty.

"Shen Yu..."

"Um?"

"Um... well, if I behave well... can I make a request... is that... okay?"

Shen Yu turned his head to look at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? You have a request to make?"

"Yes!" Lin Anran nodded immediately, her eyes shining even brighter with anticipation.

Shen Yu knew very well, of course he knew, that given Lin Anran's personality,

After becoming his girlfriend, she will definitely be eager to exercise her privileges.

He paused for two seconds, then spoke quite naturally:

"OK."

Lin Anran's face instantly broke into a smile.

At this moment, Shen Yu slowly added:

"But this time... take me with you."

"Huh?" Lin Anran's smile froze. She blinked, a little confused, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean?"

"It means..." Shen Yu looked at Lin Anran and said clearly, word by word:

"I also have... a request I'd like to make."
