Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu didn't speak, but buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.

"Mmm, smells delicious." He said softly, it was unclear whether he was complimenting the person or the food...

Lin Anran smiled with her lips pursed. She picked up a small spoon, scooped some soup from the pot, and carefully blew on it until the heat dissipated.

Then she turned around and brought the spoon to his lips.

"Try it, but be careful, it's hot."

Shen Yu took her hand and drank it down.

The warm broth slid down, warming you right up to your stomach.

"It tastes good."

Shen Yu nodded and praised without hesitation.

Lin Anran immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said happily, "I'm glad you like it!"

After a while, the food was all set on the table, and the small dining table was suddenly full.

Shen Yu brought over two bowls of rice and placed them on the table. Lin Anran had already put their chairs together...

The distance between them is at most five centimeters.

Lin Anran mainly felt that being too close was inconvenient, preventing Shen Yu from eating properly; otherwise, she would have even wanted to sit in Shen Yu's lap...

Shen Yu sat down, and Lin Anran watched him eagerly as he picked up his chopsticks, but she didn't move. Instead, she picked up the small spoon next to her.

She scooped up a spoonful of milky white fish soup, blew on it carefully, and brought it to his lips, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him and whispered:

"Ah~"

Shen Yu obediently opened his mouth and drank it.

The fish soup was delicious, with just the right amount of peppery spiciness. It slid down my throat and made my stomach feel comfortable.

"Hmm~ Not bad!" He nodded, his praise genuine.

Lin Anran's smile widened instantly. She picked up another piece of fish, carefully removed the almost invisible tiny bones, and then brought it to his mouth again.

"Try this one too!"

Shen Yu opened his mouth and took it; the fish was so tender it almost melted on his tongue...

"tasty!"

"Hehe..." Lin Anran got even more excited, her chopsticks barely stopping:

"Then try this shredded pork! Ah~"

Lin Anran barely ate a few bites herself before busying herself blowing on each dish to cool it down and feeding it to Shen Yu, then eagerly awaiting his evaluation.

Every time she heard his praise, her beautiful eyes would crinkle with satisfaction.

Shen Yu initially let her have her way, but later, seeing that she was only focused on feeding herself and hadn't touched the rice in her bowl, he reached out and grabbed her wrist as she was about to pick up some more food.

"Alright..." His voice held a helpless smile. "I can do it myself. You should eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

"Eat, eat! It's good that you're full!" Lin Anran picked up a piece of food and still tried to feed him.

"The last time, ah~"

Seeing her persistent look, determined to achieve her goal, Shen Yu had no choice but to open her mouth again.

After dawdling over the meal, it was already completely dark outside the window.

Lin Anran stood up and reached for the empty bowl in front of Shen Yu.

"I'll clean it up!"

Shen Yu didn't stop him, but simply got up and stacked the plates on the table together: "Together."

The two worked together seamlessly, one wiping the table and the other carrying the dishes into the kitchen.

The sink quickly became piled high with dishes and utensils waiting to be washed.

Lin Anran rolled up her sleeves, turned on the tap, and warm water flowed down.

Shen Yu naturally stood next to her, took the plate she handed over, squeezed on dish soap, and carefully scrubbed it with a sponge.

The water splashed and the dishes clattered together.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

Lin Anran was in charge of rinsing off the foam, while Shen Yu was in charge of drying and putting things back in their place; their actions were methodical and efficient.

The kitchen was quickly restored to its former cleanliness.

Shen Yu wiped the last glass dry, put it in the cupboard, shook the water droplets off his hands, and looked at the clock on the wall... It was just past seven o'clock.

"It's still early..." He turned to look at Lin Anran, who was carefully wiping the edge of the countertop with a cloth, and asked:

"How about... going for a walk? A stroll?"

Lin Anran paused, her eyes suddenly lighting up:

"OK!"

Without hesitation, the two changed out of their loungewear and put on their outdoor jackets.

The door closed gently behind them, and the motion-activated lights in the hallway turned on in response to their footsteps.

Stepping out of the building, the neighborhood was quiet. Shen Yu naturally reached out his hand, and Lin Anran's hand was extended at almost the same time.

Fingers intertwined, palms pressed together, the familiar warmth instantly transferred.

Neither of them spoke; they simply held hands and walked slowly along the familiar path in the neighborhood.

The pace was slow and steady, as if trying to prolong this brief moment of leisure.

There's no need for sweet words or even much eye contact.

Just walking quietly like this fills my heart with a kind of serene joy.

They walked on, out of the residential area, and wandered aimlessly along the sidewalk.

"Are you cold?" Shen Yu asked in a low voice, her fingers tightening slightly.

Lin Anran shook her head, turned her head to look at him, and replied with a light smile, "I'm not cold."

"What are your plans for tomorrow? Should we go out or stay home?"

Shen Yu raised a question that Lin Anran was also eager to know: the arrangements for tomorrow.

They have a full day off tomorrow, nothing much to do, and can spend the whole day together, but they don't know how to make the most of it.

Lin Anran thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'm fine with anything."

Shen Yu seemed to think for a moment before saying:

"I want to go to the bookstore and buy a couple of books..."

"Okay!" Lin Anran nodded almost without hesitation and said:

I'll go with you wherever you go.

Shen Yu looked down at her and reached out to ruffle her hair, which was a little messy from the night breeze.

"Alright, we'll go to the bookstore tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon... we'll see, whatever you say."

"Um!"

As they talked, they unknowingly walked to the entrance of a small park nearby.

The park wasn't big, and there weren't many people around at this time of day; only a few ground lights emitted a soft glow.

There are some recreational facilities inside, such as swings, slides, and seesaws.

Lin Anran slowed her pace, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the swing suspended in mid-air.

Shen Yu followed her gaze and asked in a low voice, "Want to play?"

Lin Anran's eyes lit up for a moment, then she hesitated, her ears turning slightly red: "Isn't that a bit childish...?"

Shen Yu took her hand and walked directly into the park, comforting her:

"No, it's normal. What's childish about it? Besides, there aren't many people around right now."

Lin Anran watched the swing gently swaying in the night. Finally, encouraged by Shen Yu, she pursed her lips and released Shen Yu's hand.

He awkwardly sat on the slightly narrow swing, gripping the chains on both sides tightly with both hands.

She'd never played it before... she'd only seen others play it...

"Hold on tight?" Shen Yu stood behind her, his hand lightly resting on the iron chain.

"Mm." Lin Anran nodded, her body a little stiff.

Shen Yu gently pushed her back.

The swing carried her, swaying forward with small movements.

The night breeze brushed her cheeks and ruffled her hair.

The swing swung more widely, and the feeling of being off the ground was more pronounced.

Lin Anran was initially tense, but as the swing swayed rhythmically, she gradually relaxed.

The night wind whistled in my ears, and a simple joy slowly welled up from the bottom of my heart...

Her eyes seemed to be shining; so this is what it feels like.

It's very simple, but...it's quite interesting...

Shen Yu looked at her smiling profile and smiled back. He controlled the force in his hands, allowing her to swing higher, but always keeping her within a safe range.

After playing for a while, the swing slowly came to a stop.

Lin Anran jumped off the swing, her steps a little unsteady, but Shen Yu steadily supported her arm.

"What else do you want to play?" Shen Yu asked, casually tidying her bangs that had been ruffled by the wind.

Lin Anran's gaze passed over him and landed on the colorful slide with a curve next to it.

The slide wasn't steep, but in the darkness and under the glow of the ground lights, it still made her feel a little uneasy.

She had only seen other children screaming as they slid down the slide when she was very young, and at that time she always felt both envious and a little inexplicably afraid...

"that..."

She pointed to the slide, her voice tinged with hesitation yet also revealing a hint of eagerness.

Shen Yu led her over, until they reached the bottom exit of the slide.

Then, he turned around, facing the top of the slide, and stood there steadily.

"Try it, I'll catch you down here, it'll be fine."

"Hmm..." Lin Anran took a deep breath, turned around, and climbed the not-so-high steps using both hands and feet.

She sat down at the top of the slide, her legs dangling over the edge.

Luckily I wore long pants when I went out, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to play at all.

Lin Anran's gaze fell on the figure below with outstretched arms.

With him downstairs, she felt like she wasn't afraid of anything.

She pursed her lips, leaned forward slightly, loosened her grip on the edge, and slid down the smooth passage in an instant!

The night wind suddenly whipped against her face, and the weightlessness brought on by the speed made her heart skip a beat.

But she felt no fear, only a strange thrill and exhilaration.

She didn't even have time to gasp; her eyes widened slightly with excitement.

The moment of sliding was very short; almost the next second, her body rushed out of the slide and landed in a warm and firm embrace.

Shen Yu caught her precisely, holding her tightly in his arms and cushioning all the force.

With her feet dangling in the air, she was being held by Shen Yu, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around Shen Yu's neck.

"Is it fun?"

Lin Anran tilted her head back and nodded vigorously, her voice filled with undisguised curiosity and joy:

"Mmm! This is fun!"

"I never played this when I was little..."

Shen Yu blinked, then whispered, "It's nothing..."

"If you want to play anything or do anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll do it with you."

Lin Anran stared at him blankly, her eyes wide. After a few seconds, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly...

Without saying a word, she wrapped her arms tightly around Shen Yu's neck, tilted her head back, and kissed his lips...

Shen Yu's eyes widened slightly after being kissed by Lin Anran for two or three seconds.

Lin Anran leaned against Shen Yu's chest and whispered:

"Okay, sure..."
