Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

After the morning interlude, the day's campus life unfolded as usual.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, the two appeared to be eating obediently on the surface, but were actually holding hands under the table.

During break in the hallway, Lin Anran, carrying her homework, would deliberately bump into Shen Yu after seeing him...

Occasionally, while seated, she would secretly turn her head to look at Shen Yu.

Sometimes, as if sensing her gaze, he would tilt his head slightly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over her.

The afternoon classes ended in a tacit, subtly pervasive atmosphere.

The school bell rang, and the classroom immediately became noisy.

The moment Lin Anran had been waiting for had finally arrived. She could finally go home and spend some time alone with Shen Yu!

She packed her things early and left the school with Shen Yu, returning home together.

Shen Yu didn't say much throughout the day, but Lin Anran didn't pay much attention, because Shen Yu was usually quiet and reserved.

Once home, I close the door, completely shutting out the noise of the outside world.

A reassuring space, where the two of them could be alone, filled the air.

The two of them took a shower and changed into their pajamas.

As the two snuggled back into the sofa where they had cuddled and slept the previous night, a sense of relaxation enveloped them.

Shen Yu casually picked up the book he had been reading halfway through last night and began to read it under the warm lamplight.

Lin Anran then automatically moved closer and sat down next to him.

Then she leaned most of her weight against his side with peace of mind, finding a comfortable position for her head to rest on his shoulder or arm.

Shen Yu merely adjusted her posture slightly to make her lean more securely, her gaze remaining fixed on the pages of the book.

The only sounds in the air were the soft rustling of pages turning and the two people's even breathing.

This is their most peaceful and comfortable moment, all of a kind.

It was as if the daytime disturbances had been shut out into another world.

Lin Anran didn't speak, she just leaned against it quietly.

She squinted, her gaze fixed on Shen Yu's well-defined fingers, inhaling his scent.

No need for many words, just snuggling together like this is beautiful enough.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yu stopped turning the pages of the book.

He didn't immediately continue reading, but remained in that position, his gaze seemingly fixed on a certain line of the page, yet also seemingly not.

"Lin Anran".

He suddenly spoke, his voice deep and clear in the quiet living room.

"Hmm?" Lin Anran responded lazily, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yu closed the book in his hand with a soft "snap".

He didn't look at her immediately. Instead, he placed the book on the sofa beside him, then turned his head slightly and looked at her bewildered face.

"Let's chat for a while, it's been a long time since we had a proper chat."

Shen Yu spoke slowly, and upon hearing this suggestion, Lin Anran's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded:

"OK!"

They hadn't really talked much these past two days, and Lin Anran missed the times she used to have heart-to-heart talks with Shen Yu.

Then, Shen Yu slowly spoke and asked:

"What do you think...?"

Should lovers have secrets, or should they not?

This question came somewhat suddenly, breaking the warm tranquility that had just been there.

Lin Anran's body stiffened slightly as she leaned against him, and her languid drowsiness dissipated somewhat.

She looked up and met Shen Yu's gaze.

Why did he suddenly ask that?

Was it a casual question, or...?

Is it implying something?

In an instant, all sorts of guesses flashed through my mind.

She was always a suspicious person, constantly analyzing the hidden meanings in Shen Yu's words. Asking this question made her a little uneasy...

But Shen Yu's gaze was calm; he simply looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer, as if he genuinely just wanted to hear her opinion.

Lin Anran pursed her lips, sat up a little straighter from him, hugged her knees, and began to think seriously.

Lin Anran looked up at Shen Yu and asked, "So... what do you think? I'd like to hear your opinion first..."

Shen Yu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and answered:

"Absolute openness is neither realistic nor necessary, and may even be harmful. However, I believe that secrets that affect the foundation of a relationship must be transparent. Healthy intimate relationships are built on a balance between core honesty and healthy privacy."

Lin Anran listened to Shen Yu's words, lowered her head, and nodded slightly. She could probably guess Shen Yu's opinion.

Because Shen Yu's views are always... very official.

It's like a standard answer from a book; you can hardly hear any thought or thought in the response.

"but..."

Shen Yu suddenly changed the subject, and Lin Anran looked up at him.

"I think this might work for most people, but I believe we are different from most people. Perhaps, after we get together, we will have our own answer."

"Oh~"

Lin Anran exhaled, then propped her cheek with her hand, squinted at Shen Yu with a smile, as if she understood something, and said:

"So... you personally hope that there are no secrets between us, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Anran's words, Shen Yu fell silent, not responding, but simply looking quietly into her eyes.

Lin Anran does have some special qualities, but Shen Yu also has to admit that Lin Anran is very smart. Sometimes he doesn't even need to say much for Lin Anran to understand.

The reason Shen Yu raised this question and had this idea was because...

He is now deeply in love and wants to know if Lin Anran has any unhealthy secret intentions.

He's been thinking about this all day, so he's been rather quiet during the day.

Lin Anran liked to bite him. He didn't know if Lin Anran had any other habits or hobbies, or even... quirks.

Knowing in advance will always be helpful to him.

After a few seconds, Shen Yu nodded and replied:

"Yes, that's about right, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Lin Anran smiled even more sweetly, leaned against Shen Yu, reached out and poked Shen Yu's cheek, and whispered:

"You want to...share all our secrets with me, right? So that...we have no secrets between us?"

Shen Yu didn't reply. Instead, he turned his head, bent down, opened the drawer of the coffee table, and took out a notebook.

He handed it directly to Lin Anran, saying:

"This is my ledger for recording everything. You can also think of it as my diary. Anyway, it contains all sorts of things, including almost all my secrets. After reading this, it's like you'll completely understand me."

"If you're interested, you can... switch with me."
