Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

These words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly dispelling Lin Anran's deep drowsiness.

Her eyes, which had been half-closed, snapped open. Forgetting her drowsiness, she slightly raised her head, straining to make out Shen Yu's blurry outline in the dim light.

"travel?"

"Mmm." Shen Yu responded, patting her back reassuringly with his hand.

"After the exams, I'll have time to go out for a walk."

Upon receiving confirmation, Lin Anran's joy exploded like a tiny firework...

From childhood to adulthood, her life was almost entirely a two-point line between school and that suffocating home, and the farthest trip she took was probably to a park in the city.

She never left this city to see what the outside world was like...

And now, Shen Yu says he wants to take her on a trip...with him.

Just imagining it was enough to make her heart race.

For her, being with Shen Yu, even just at home, was happiness.

But being able to go to a completely new place with Shen Yu, see scenery we've never seen before, eat food we've never tried, and create memories that belong only to them... that's double the happiness...

"Um...okay...I'm fine with anywhere, whatever you say." She answered eagerly, trying to force herself to calm down.

But the tremor in her voice betrayed her excitement.

Shen Yu responded softly, "Okay, we'll think about where we want to go later. Now... let's go to sleep."

"Okay~, goodnight Yuyu!"

Lin Anran kissed Shen Yu on the lips, then closed her eyes, preparing to drift off to sleep once again.

Despite this, she was still too excited to calm down.

The thought of being on vacation would make her very happy, and she couldn't fall asleep.

And... after the holidays, she definitely wants to... take her relationship with Shen Yu to the next level...

Ever since she discovered the note Li Zhenshuo wrote to Shen Yu, she had been preoccupied with it, unsure whether Shen Yu had actually read it...

And she destroyed that last note; it's unclear whether Shen Yu noticed it, or if he did but chose not to expose her...

She was very unwilling to accept this, so... she secretly bought some... special clothes online.

Shen Yu picked it up a while ago, assuming it was just ordinary clothes Lin Anran had bought, and didn't ask any further questions.

She thought for a moment and decided to put it aside for now, before the college entrance exam, and not disturb Shen Yu's studies. She'd wait until everything was over so she could truly relax...

So Lin Anran hid those clothes at the very back of the closet, not even daring to open the delivery bags...

She was determined to capture Shen Yu's heart and keep his gaze fixed on her, preventing his thoughts and attention from wandering elsewhere!

Just keep looking at her! She'll fulfill any request, no matter what it is!

The two of them didn't fall asleep until quite a while later.

The next day, the morning light was a bit dazzling, and a thin layer of heat hung in the air.

On the way to school, the two didn't talk much, but walked a little faster than usual. Lin Anran would occasionally turn her head to look at Shen Yu beside her. Shen Yu held her hand and looked straight ahead.

The tense atmosphere of exam preparation on campus has faded, replaced by a floating atmosphere tinged with melancholy and excitement.

There are only a few days left before I leave school. The weather is great today, so today was the day we were supposed to take graduation photos.

When I got to the classroom door, it was already noisy inside.

The desks and chairs were moved crookedly, and test papers and books were piled up haphazardly on the tables. Most of the students had changed into their blue and white school uniforms and were gathered in small groups.

Excitement, reluctance, and a vague anticipation of the impending liberation were all mixed together.

As soon as Shen Yu entered, the noise in the classroom fell silent for a moment, and all eyes turned to him.

Shen Yu placed Lin Anran's bag in her seat and walked to the podium.

He stood there, his gaze sweeping around the room, and the noise in the classroom gradually subsided.

"Is everyone here?... Meet up on the east side of the playground downstairs."

The teacher arranged for him to arrive in the morning and then lead his classmates to the playground to gather and wait for a group photo.

The students were used to listening to him, so they quickly got to work, packed their belongings, and walked out in order.

Lin Anran stood beside her seat, watching Shen Yu give instructions in an orderly manner.

She didn't rush to move. After he finished arranging for most of the students, the classroom was half empty.

Shen Yu then turned his head and looked at her: "Let's go, come with me."

"Um!"

The corridors and staircases were filled with students in the same school uniforms, making a lot of noise, like a flock of migrating birds.

Lin Anran followed Shen Yu down the path, but her mind was wandering.

The playground was even more lively.

The sunlight poured down without any obstruction, making the plastic track shine.

Each class assembled in a designated area, and the homeroom teachers and class officers shouted themselves hoarse to maintain order.

Shen Yu's class was relatively quiet. Shen Yu stood beside the line, his gaze sweeping over each person's face.

His feelings were still a bit complicated. He didn't really have much affection for the class before; at most, he was just completing his tasks.

Perhaps they had already thought about it, and after graduation, when they go their separate ways, they might not even feel anything.

But perhaps because he spent so much time with Lin Anran, his feelings for her gradually changed.

Now that it's time to part ways with these people, I'm really a little reluctant.

These people all have a good relationship with him, at least on the surface.

This feeling is really strange. When we're together, I feel nothing, but when we're about to part, I feel reluctant to leave.

After a while, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, finally arrived. He spoke with the photographer for a few minutes and then walked straight toward Shen Yu.

Soon, the photographer began directing the formation adjustments.

They were arranged in four or five rows according to height.

Shen Yu was in the second row, right in the middle, next to the homeroom teacher in the front row.

The seat to his left was empty, as if it had been deliberately left out.

The surrounding students gradually took their positions. Several boys and girls who were supposed to stand nearby exchanged glances, but no one went over there. However, their eyes all turned to Lin Anran in the girls' group.

Lin Anran stood in the middle of the girls according to their height.

She turned her head and met several pairs of eyes that were looking at her.

Lin Anran blinked. Following the cues of those gazes, she naturally looked at the empty seat, then shifted her gaze to Shen Yu, who was standing next to it.

Shen Yu was also looking at her. The moment their eyes met, Lin Anran clearly saw him raise his head and wave at her.

Lin Anran's lips immediately curled up.

She walked over without much hesitation.

She walked through the crowd to the empty seat, stopped, turned her head, and looked at Shen Yu: "I'm here~"
