Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran was stunned when she heard Shen Yu's answer, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Immediately, immense joy exploded in her heart like fireworks, instantly illuminating her eyes, even the undried tear stains on her face seemed to glow.

"Really?! Really?!" Her voice rose slightly, filled with unbelievable surprise.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, revealing a radiant smile.

Shen Yu nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"Yes, really."

As he spoke, he turned and walked to the sofa, picking up his neatly folded pillows and thin blanket.

Lin Anran immediately rushed to the bedroom door, and even exaggeratedly turned to the side to make a "please" gesture, her face showing undisguised excitement and anticipation.

Shen Yu's eyes widened with amusement at her appearance. He picked up his bedding and went into the bedroom.

As soon as he entered, a faint, unique fragrance belonging to Lin Anran wafted towards him, instantly filling his nostrils.

This was completely different from the empty and desolate feeling he had when he lived alone before.

The air now carries the scent of another person.

This is his room, but now, every detail bears Lin Anran's mark.

Shen Yu paused slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the familiar yet unfamiliar space.

Lin Anran had already followed him in. Seeing him standing by the bed, a blush crept up her face again, but her eyes still shone brightly.

She pointed to the bed and whispered, "You can sleep on either side..."

"Oh well."

Shen Yu nodded, then placed his pillow and blanket against the wall.

Lin Anran stood at the door, watching Shen Yu bend down to make the bed.

He moved quickly and easily, patting the pillow loose and unfolding the blanket, laying it neatly on the half of the bed against the wall.

She unconsciously bit her lower lip, but her eyes shone brightly as if they were burning, following Shen Yu's every move without blinking.

With her hands behind her back, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her pajamas.

We're really going to sleep together...

They slept together on the sofa last night, and now they're sleeping together in bed today...

Moreover, it's very likely that we'll be sleeping together from now on!

Lin Anran's toes curled up involuntarily, a little shy, but more so overflowing with excitement and anticipation.

Shen Yu made the bed, which was clearly divided in two, separated by an invisible boundary, yet large enough to accommodate two people.

He straightened up, glanced back at the clock on the wall, and saw that the hour hand had already moved slightly off-center.

"It's getting late... let's go to sleep early."

Shen Yu turned his head to look at Lin Anran and said.

"Okay! Sleep!" Lin Anran responded almost immediately. She took two steps forward and moved to the edge of the bed.

Then...the two of them froze.

Shen Yu stood on his side of the bed, while Lin Anran stood on her side.

No one moved; a quiet, tinged with a sense of helplessness, filled the air.

Shen Yu glanced at the bed, then at Lin Anran, who had her head down and her ears were bright red.

Shen Yu didn't say anything, but simply sat down naturally on her side of the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down first.

Seeing that he moved, Lin Anran quickly took off her slippers and lifted the blanket on her side.

She quietly slipped into bed and lay down.

The two lay down side by side, with a distance between them that was neither too wide nor too narrow.

Each person was covered with their own blanket, clearly separated from the others.

Shen Yu lay flat on his back with his hands folded over his abdomen.

He glanced to the side, where Lin Anran was also lying flat, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.

Shen Yu silently curved the corners of his mouth.

He reached out and pressed the switch on the wall.

"Clatter".

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant. With sight deprived, the other senses became unusually sharp.

In the darkness, the sounds of each other's breathing and the subtle rustling of the blankets were amplified.

Shen Yu closed his eyes. Last night on the sofa was a special case, and it felt quite different from lying flat on a bed like this now.

Having another person's presence and presence beside him was something he needed to get used to, as he had never slept in the same bed with anyone before.

But perhaps because we had already snuggled together last night, although it felt a little strange at this moment, I didn't feel any aversion to it. Instead, I felt a sense of security.

He knew she was there, within reach.

In the darkness, time seemed to pass very slowly.

Shen Yu could sense that the person next to him hadn't fallen asleep. Occasionally, his body would move very slightly, then immediately freeze, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

Just then, he felt the edge of his blanket being gently lifted a tiny crack...

Then, a warm, soft hand carefully reached in and moved toward his hand that was placed at his side.

Finally, the hand gently touched the back of his hand, and then tried to slip into his palm.

Shen Yu loosened his fingers, letting the hand slip inside. He closed his fingers, completely enveloping the hand in his palm.

The moment he grasped her hand, Lin Anran let out a barely audible gasp, as if she had finally gotten what she wanted.

After a short while, she turned to the side, facing Shen Yu.

In the darkness, only the outline of his profile could be vaguely seen.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help herself, and asked in a very soft voice:

"Shen Yu..."

"Hmm?" Shen Yu responded, turning his head to face Lin Anran.

Lin Anran pursed her lips, her fingers unconsciously curling slightly in his palm, her voice even lower:

"Does it still hurt down there?"

"Huh?" Shen Yu didn't react for a moment.

"...It's...the place I bit last night."

Shen Yu paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched the spot where he had been bitten with his other hand.

Even through the fabric of my pajamas, I could still feel a slight, dull ache.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay."

Lin Anran blinked in the darkness, seemingly disbelieving, yet also feeling guilty.

She didn't say anything, but the fingers of the hand holding his moved slightly.

Shen Yu sensed her subtle movements and repeated himself, his tone gentler than before:

"It really doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry about it. But if you do it again next time..."

Shen Yu paused, as if choosing his words carefully, and Lin Anran's heart leaped into her throat...

A few seconds later, Shen Yu continued:

"If you want to bite again... just tell me."
