Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at the hard-covered notebook that Shen Yu had handed her.

She held her breath for a moment, her throat involuntarily bobbing, making a very slight "gurgling" sound.

Shen Yu's...all secrets?

After reading this, it means... you completely understand him?!

What an amazing little notebook!

Now we're only ten centimeters away from her!

At this moment, her scalp tingled, and a surge of emotion, a mixture of immense shock, disbelief, and a kind of almost greedy desire, welled up inside her!

Oh my god!

She could almost feel all the blood rushing to her head, and her cheeks and ears instantly became burning hot.

That was... Shen Yu, whom she loved to the core, wishing she could be with him 24/7, wanting to know everything about him!

His past experiences, his inner thoughts, his secrets that he may never have told anyone, his unknown preferences and habits... are all recorded in this notebook?

This is too tempting!

It was so big that it almost made her dizzy.

It's like someone standing at the entrance of a treasure cave, suddenly told that all the gold and silver treasures inside are at her disposal.

She could barely restrain herself. She immediately reached out and read the notebook from beginning to end in one go, swallowing all his secrets and claiming them as her own!

"Okay! Let's switch!"

Her voice was particularly excited.

The next second, she sprang up from the sofa with a "whoosh," her movement so fast it created a gust of wind.

"Wait for me!" She said this without even looking at Shen Yu's reaction, and rushed back to her bedroom in her slippers.

Shen Yu was still in the posture of handing out the notebook when she was taken aback by her sudden reaction.

He watched her disappear into the bedroom doorway, his brow furrowing slightly.

So fast? So... decisive?

Then, the bedroom door was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Anran rushed out again.

She was carrying several notebooks in her arms—about two or three—and quickly walked back to the sofa, stopping in front of Shen Yu.

Then, she took a deep breath and put all the notebooks in her arms onto the coffee table in front of Shen Yu, right next to his notebook.

"Give!"

"These! These are all my secrets! Diaries, essays, random thoughts, and... some drawings, maybe some silly things I wrote before... Anyway, everything I can think of and write down is here!"

She patted the stack of notebooks, her gesture carrying a hint of recklessness:

"A trade! We've agreed!"

Shen Yu's gaze slowly moved from her stack of notebooks to her eyes.

Her gaze was so direct, so open, devoid of any calculation or reservation, containing only complete surrender...

It's as if it's saying: Look, this is everything I have! I've given it all to you!

This unguarded frankness left Shen Yu watching her in silence.

"...Is everything alright?" He finally spoke, his voice deeper than usual.

"You're willing to show me all of these...?"

"Of course!"

Lin Anran answered without the slightest hesitation. She even leaned forward, placing her hands on the edge of the coffee table, her gaze fixed intently on Shen Yu:

"To be able to exchange all my secrets with you! To let us...treat each other without reservation, this is...this is what I long for!"

She paused, then continued:

"Because...because I'm not afraid...not afraid of being seen by you..."

"You said it..."

"You promised me that I wouldn't have to pretend in front of you, that you... wanted the real me, and... you promised me that you... wouldn't leave me."

She spoke those last few words softly, yet they carried an immense weight, striking Shen Yu's heart like a hammer blow.

It was so...

No wonder Lin Anran wasn't worried about him seeing these things; it turned out he had made a promise.

Shen Yu remained silent for an even longer period.

Then, he reached out and, instead of taking Lin Anran's stack of notebooks first, picked up his own hardcover notebook.

He stroked the cover and looked up at her.

"it is good."

"We agreed on an exchange. Here you go."

He gently pushed his notebook toward her.

"I'll watch it too," he added, looking into her eyes.

Lin Anran saw him finally nod, and a huge, bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.

She nodded vigorously, then eagerly reached out and grabbed Shen Yu's dark blue notebook, hugging it tightly to her chest.

"Um!"

"Hehehe! I'm going to go see it!"

Lin Anran, clutching her laptop, happily ran into the bedroom.

She wanted to watch discreetly, and because Shen Yu was also watching her secret, she felt a little embarrassed to sit next to him...

Watching Lin Anran run back to her bedroom, Shen Yu looked at the notebooks on the coffee table in front of him.

Why are there so many...?

Which book should I start reading...?

Shen Yu felt that compared to Lin Anran, he was a very simple person with no secrets. Everything he had could be contained in a notebook.

Lin Anran has so many books... it's hard to even know what's inside them... I might not even understand some of the parts...

The bedroom door was gently closed, shutting out the light and sound from the living room.

Lin Anran leaned against the door, clutching the hardcover notebook tightly in her arms, her heart still pounding wildly from the excitement.

She looked down at the plain notebook in her hand, feeling as if she were touching a Pandora's box about Shen Yu. Her fingertips trembled with excitement, and she was also inexplicably nervous as if on a pilgrimage.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart, before walking to her desk, sitting down, and turning on the desk lamp.

A warm yellow light shone down, enveloping the laptop and her slightly tense profile.

She took another deep breath, as if to gather her courage, and then, carefully, almost holding her breath, turned to the first page of the notebook.

The neat and clean handwriting is typical of Shen Yu's style.

The first few pages record some daily expenses, with dates, items, and amounts clearly organized, like an account book.

Further on, you'll find scattered, essay-like or excerpt-like content, sometimes brief reflections on a book or movie.

Sometimes it's recording the weather and my mood; sometimes it's just a few fragmented keywords or to-do items...

"Oh ho~"

Lin Anran watched with great interest, not even blinking.

She felt she could eat three bowls of rice just by looking at this notebook!

Through these trivial yet authentic records, she seemed to see another Shen Yu...

A more private and down-to-earth Shen Yu.

He would copy down a brilliant sentence repeatedly, and he would feel an inexplicable fondness for a sudden rain.

Between the lines lies his clear logic, the occasional glimpses of subtle, unknown emotions, and his inner world, which carries a sense of distance yet is incredibly real.

Lin Anran was captivated, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips. So this is how Shen Yu records her life in private...

So cute...

She liked the feeling of piecing together a more complete Shen Yu, little by little...

It fascinated her...
