Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

A few days later, on a Saturday afternoon, the week's classes were coming to an end.

Shen Yu, Lin Anran, Jiang Xiaohan and Hong Tiexiong sat together.

After a week of adjustment, the team, which was initially a bit awkward, started to operate more and more smoothly.

Jiang Xiaohan had gotten used to Hong Tiexiong's overly "enthusiastic" inquiries and occasional silly questions, and she quite liked this learning atmosphere, where any problems could be solved immediately.

Hong Tiexiong's questions to Jiang Xiaohan became more targeted.

Needless to say, Lin Anran and Shen Yu had excellent chemistry when discussing difficult problems together.

At this moment, they have just finished discussing a problem.

In the brief silence, Hong Tiexiong put down his pen, rubbed his hands together, and glanced at Shen Yu's face, as if pondering something. Then, in a deep voice, he asked:

"Um...class monitor, tomorrow's Sunday, want to go play ball together?"

"Um?"

Shen Yu was taken aback, not expecting him to suddenly invite him to play ball.

They used to play ball together often, and occasionally on weekends they would go out with some classmates to have some fun, which was quite nice.

However, they haven't played together much in the past month or so, especially since Lin Anran has joined Shen Yu's family, and he has spent the past month with her.

Before, when he was alone, he would either read or exercise. Now that he lives with Lin Anran, it seems like his time for exercise has been squeezed out...

Shen Yu's hesitation flashed briefly in his eyes, but it was clear enough.

He did want to play, but...

His gaze almost instinctively turned to Lin Anran beside him.

After spending more than a month together, he got used to taking her into account when making any plans.

Lin Anran almost immediately noticed the subtle hesitation in his eyes and the subconscious questioning he gave her when he looked at her.

She smiled gently at him, her eyes crinkling into a gentle smile, her voice soft and sweet:

"Go if you want, it's good to relax..." She paused, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice softened:

"I...I'll go with you and watch from the side, okay?"

She just wanted to stick to him... to be by his side every step of the way, not letting him disappear from her sight.

Shen Yu looked at her and nodded: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow afternoon."

Hong Tiexiong was very happy to see that Shen Yu had agreed, but his gaze unconsciously drifted to Jiang Xiaohan sitting next to him.

Jiang Xiaohan was looking down at her English notes, seemingly indifferent to the conversation that had just taken place...

Asking the class monitor to go along is a logical step...

However, he also wanted to invite Jiang Xiaohan to go with him...

Hong Tiexiong opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Asking a girl to watch a bunch of boys play basketball? Is that...is that appropriate?

He stammered for a long time, finally managing to utter only one sentence:

"Then...it's a deal! Tomorrow at 2 PM, same place!"

He lowered his head after he finished speaking, but couldn't help glancing at Jiang Xiaohan out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Yu took in Hong Tiexiong's hesitant expression,

He put down his pen, turned to look at Lin Anran beside him, and said softly:

"It would be nice if someone could keep you company. You wouldn't be bored if you were all alone next to me."

"ah..."

Lin Anran was slightly taken aback by Shen Yu's words, and for a moment she didn't understand what he meant.

Her first instinct was to say, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of being bored. I'm happy just to watch you from the sidelines."

But Shen Yu's sudden remark must have had a hidden meaning, and she could tell.

She raised her head, her gaze naturally shifting to Jiang Xiaohan, a gentle smile on her face, and spoke softly:

"Are you free tomorrow afternoon? If so, could you chat with me or something...?"

Jiang Xiaohan was listening intently, still pondering the meaning behind Shen Yu and Lin Anran's conversation, when she was suddenly invited by Lin Anran, and she was completely stunned.

She looked up, somewhat surprised, at Lin Anran.

Lin Anran...was inviting her? To go out together? Like a friend inviting her?

This made Jiang Xiaohan feel inexplicably flattered.

Lin Anran was known in class as quiet and a loner.

Although she is good-looking and academically excellent, apart from Shen Yu, she has hardly ever been seen to be particularly close to anyone, let alone actively inviting anyone to do anything together.

And now, they've actually taken the initiative to invite her?

Jiang Xiaohan glanced at Shen Yu subconsciously. He was flipping through a book with a blank expression, seemingly ignoring Lin Anran's words.

She then looked at Lin Anran, who was waiting for her reply, her eyes showing no reluctance, only a sincere invitation.

"I...I'm free tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Xiaohan nodded, a smile appearing on her face.

"Okay, I'll keep you company. We can chat, otherwise it'll be quite boring for you to watch them play alone."

She readily agreed, even feeling a little excited, as this was the first time Lin Anran had ever extended an invitation on her own initiative...

Does that mean she can be considered Lin Anran's good friend?

However, only one person was happiest about Jiang Xiaohan's agreement, and that was Hong Tiexiong, who was standing next to her. When he learned that Jiang Xiaohan would also be going tomorrow, his eyes widened with excitement!

He didn't dare invite Jiang Xiaohan, because it was too strange. They were just classmates. He was going to play ball, so what was the point of inviting her to come along?

He hadn't placed any hope on it at all, but he didn't expect to be invited like this.

Hong Tiexiong raised his head and looked at Shen Yu opposite him, his heart filled with shock!

Was this also part of the class monitor's plan?!

That's right! It must be!

"Hey... Class monitor..."

Shen Yu, who had his head down, suddenly heard Hong Tiexiong across from him call out in a breathy voice...

"Um?"

He looked up at Hong Tiexiong with a puzzled expression, only to see Hong Tiexiong's hand reaching out from under the table, as if handing him something.

Shen Yu followed the gaze downwards and saw that Hong Tiexiong was holding a fifty-yuan bill between two fingers...

Shen Yu squinted and frowned:

"What do you mean by giving me money?"
