Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

"whee..."

Lin Anran's smile widened instantly, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

She nodded in satisfaction and carefully moved the spoon forward a little more, making sure he could eat it easily.

Shen Yu opened his mouth and stiffly took a bite of rice.

The rice, mixed with the flavors of the vegetables, melted in his mouth; it tasted good, but at that moment, none of his attention was on the taste...

And in this unprecedented and bizarre feeling of being waited on hand and foot while eating...

He's a perfectly healthy person, with no problems with his hands or feet except for a sprained ankle, yet he's acting like... a child being cared for? Or... a pet being kept?

The thought made him extremely uncomfortable; his cheeks grew increasingly hot, and even his earlobes turned bright red.

He lowered his eyes, trying to avoid looking at Lin Anran's eyes, which were so close to his and focused on his chewing. Even his chewing movements were somewhat mechanical...

At this moment, Lin Anran felt a strange sense of satisfaction and...control...

Seeing his somewhat embarrassed yet obedient expression as he opened his mouth...

Looking at his ears and cheeks, slightly flushed with unease...

Lin Anran's cautious and tentative feelings suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Feed him...

Seeing how dependent he is on me...

It seems...very good.

If only it could stay like this forever...

Keep him close by, take care of him, feed him, make him dependent on you for everything, unable to live without you...

Lin Anran unconsciously became gentler and more meticulous when feeding him.

Each spoonful of rice was paired with just the right amount of vegetables, and the angle at which it was brought to his lips was adjusted to ensure he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Her gaze was terrifyingly focused, intently following every subtle movement of his chewing and swallowing, as if admiring a work of art under her own control...

The corners of her mouth even involuntarily curled into a very subtle, satisfied, and slightly excited arc.

"Here, have another bite of this..."

Her voice carried a coaxing tone as she scooped up another spoonful of food and held it to his lips, staring intently at him, waiting for him to obediently open his mouth.

Shen Yu still felt uncomfortable, but since she had agreed, she could only grit her teeth and continue.

Dinner was served with unusual patience by Lin Anran, and Shen Yu awkwardly finished his meal.

Every bite of rice, every chopstick of food, was delivered to his mouth by her hands.

He felt like one of those servants in the palace, or more accurately, like a large, helpless baby.

It felt so strange, making him uncomfortable from head to toe. He couldn't taste his food, and the heat in his cheeks wouldn't subside...

Finally, Lin Anran fed Shen Yu the last spoonful of soup, and Shen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had completed a difficult task.

"Are you full?" Lin Anran put down her bowl and spoon, picked up a tissue, and naturally leaned over to wipe his mouth.

Shen Yu subconsciously leaned back slightly, reached out to take the tissue, and said in a slightly hurried voice, "I can do it myself."

Lin Anran's hand froze in mid-air as she watched him frantically wipe his mouth. Her eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her gentle, smiling expression. She didn't say anything, just gave a soft "hmm".

She stood up and began clearing the dishes from the coffee table, her movements efficient: "You stay seated, I'll go wash the dishes."

As she spoke, she deftly stacked the bowls and plates, picked up the soup bowl, turned and headed towards the kitchen, then turned back after taking a couple of steps.

As if to confirm whether he had obeyed, seeing that he was still sitting obediently on the sofa, she smiled with satisfaction and went into the kitchen...

Shen Yu leaned back on the sofa and sighed helplessly.

He could tell that Lin Anran seemed to be enjoying it. He had originally thought that letting Lin Anran make the decisions would allow her to offer more opinions or have her own ideas.

However, Lin Anran unexpectedly used this power to force him to take care of and serve him...

He didn't even have a chance to refuse, because he had already agreed to Lin Anran's request.

Lin Anran finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.

Only a floor lamp was on in the living room. Shen Yu was staring blankly at the completely dark sky outside the window when he heard a noise and turned around.

"Are you done washing?"

"Hmm!" Lin Anran nodded and sat down on the armrest of the sofa next to him, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, as if waiting for his next instruction, or as if observing what else he needed to take care of.

Shen Yu glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost 7:30.

He shifted, using his hands to support himself on the sofa, trying to stand up.

"What are you doing?" Lin Anran almost immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Tell me, and I'll go for you..."

Shen Yu was taken aback by her reaction, then smiled helplessly:

"Uh...I...I need to take a shower, it's getting late."

He tried to stand up on his own, but Lin Anran's hand supporting him was firm, even with a force that left no room for refusal...

"Take a bath? I'll help you!"

"???"

Shen Yu was so startled by those words that he almost jumped off the sofa. He waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no! This won't do!"

Shen Yu looked at Lin Anran with an unprecedentedly serious expression, even carrying a hint of pleading:

"Please, I'm begging you, I'll wash it myself, okay? I can manage, really..."

He simply couldn't imagine that scene.

That's too...too much.

It's not a matter of whether he's embarrassed or not. It's simply that he can't do it.

Seeing his strong reaction, even his somewhat incoherent speech, Lin Anran seemed to realize that her suggestion had been a bit too direct.

She pursed her lips, her tone softening slightly, but still tinged with worry, her gaze fixed on his ankle:

"But...your feet..."

"Won't it hurt a lot to wash standing up? What if I slip and fall?"

Shen Yu quickly assured him, his tone urgent:

"No, I'll be careful, I'll be quick."

"And... there are non-slip mats in the bathroom, I'll be careful, really..."

Lin Anran stared at him for a few seconds, and seemed to finally understand the determination in his eyes.

"...All right."

She finally nodded, her voice soft, but she didn't loosen her grip on Shen Yu's arm.

"Then you wash it yourself, but be careful... I'll be right outside, call me immediately if anything happens, okay?"

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing that she was no longer insisting, Shen Yu finally felt relieved.

With her help, he slowly stood up.

Lin Anran helped him, and they slowly moved to the bathroom door step by step.

She went in first, adjusted the water temperature for him, and then checked that the anti-slip mat was properly laid out.

She placed the towels and change of clothes within easy reach before stepping out and standing at the doorway, watching him with concern.

"Are you sure you don't need me to help you take off your clothes or anything?"
