Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

The two changed into their outdoor clothes and left the house.

The supermarket wasn't crowded; it was a quiet afternoon.

The bright and spacious shopping area, with its dazzling array of goods, and the two people pushing their shopping carts side by side, quickly blended into this ordinary scene of daily life.

"What kind of dish do you want to make?" Shen Yu asked casually, pushing the shopping cart with one hand and naturally holding Lin Anran's hand with the other.

He didn't really care what they ate, so since Lin Anran wanted to cook, he let her buy whatever she wanted.

"Hmm...it's a secret!" Lin Anran winked mysteriously, chuckled, and said:

"Anyway, I guarantee it'll taste good and...be nutritious!"

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, seeing her mysterious demeanor, and let her be, without asking anything.

"Okay, then you choose for yourself. I'll take care of pushing the cart and paying the bill."

"Um!"

Shen Yu cooperated by pushing the cart, initially watching with interest as she moved between the shelves, picking up this and looking at that.

The shopping cart filled up at a visible speed...

However, as Lin Anran's purchasing activities progressed, Shen Yu gradually began to feel that something was amiss...

Lamb, kidneys, oysters, chives, shrimp, sea cucumber, yam, goji berries...

"Snap!" Shen Yu gripped the handle of the cart, stood rooted to the spot, and stared blankly at Lin Anran...

"Wait, Ranran, something's not right..."

"Huh? What's wrong, Yu Yu..."

Lin Anran stopped in her tracks when she heard Shen Yu's sudden words, turned around and looked at Shen Yu with an innocent expression.

Shen Yu glanced at the ingredients in the cart, then looked up at Lin Anran and said:

"Ranran, what's your purpose in buying all these things?"

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost her forced innocence.

Her gaze drifted to the colorful packaging on the shelf, refusing to look at Shen Yu, muttering indistinctly:

"No...no...these are all fine...you...you don't like them?"

Shen Yu didn't speak, just looked at her, his gaze sweeping over her face several times. After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head, his tone sounding somewhat subtle:

"It's not that I don't like it..."

He paused, took a small half-step forward, and closed the distance between them.

Lin Anran instinctively tried to back away, but her heel caught on the shopping cart wheel...

Shen Yu leaned down slightly, his gaze level with hers...

"I just feel like... these things... seem to have some kind of nourishing effect on certain aspects..."

He paused deliberately, watching Lin Anran's eyelashes flutter rapidly, before continuing to ask slowly:

"Could it be... a coincidence?"

He spoke the last two words softly and slowly, with a slight upward inflection at the end.

"It...it must be a coincidence...yes..."

Lin Anran felt that her little thoughts were completely exposed in front of him, and her voice unconsciously became softer, her eyes darting around even more.

"I just bought it randomly, how could it be such a coincidence...hehe..."

The moment she finished speaking, Shen Yu suddenly raised his hand and gently pinched both of her cheeks.

The pressure wasn't strong, but it was enough to make her cheeks squeeze inwards, and her lips involuntarily pouted...

"Hmm..."

Caught off guard, Lin Anran was forced to tilt her head back, her lips slightly pouting, like a little goldfish with its cheeks pinched, looking blankly at Shen Yu...

He lowered his head, bringing his voice close to her burning ear, and whispered:

"Yesterday, after I came out of the shower... I thought I heard you looking at something... something to nourish your boyfriend? Hmm? Was that it?"

Lin Anran's eyes widened instantly, and her mind went blank.

Last night... he actually heard it?

Shen Yu watched her face flush instantly, then leaned closer and asked in a whisper that only the two of them could hear:

"So, you bought these...because you think I need to replenish my nutrients, is that right?"

Lin Anran's mind was buzzing; she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

But at the same time, those details she had overlooked last night made her think clearly.

Shen Yu acted that way last night because...he overheard this...and then...misunderstood...

Oh my god...

Would he... care about this?

Just because she might, perhaps, probably... accidentally made him misunderstand?

And so he used that method to prove himself to her...?

So cute...

How can she be so cute!

That kind of subtle rivalry, that awkward, punitive-tinged proof...

This shows that he cares a great deal about himself... and his own opinions and thoughts... even to the point that... it led him to behave in ways that are inconsistent with his usual behavior...

Her heart pounded, blood rushed to her head, her cheeks burned, yet she couldn't help but smile...

I love him so much! Yu Yu is so cute...

Looking into Shen Yu's eyes, so close to hers, her throat went dry. She swallowed unconsciously, her cheeks pinched by him, her lips still pouting. She could only mumble a small protest:

"No...no...no..."

She denied it hastily, but her tone didn't sound anxious at all; it sounded more like she was softly whining.

"I...I was worried you were...too tired...so I wanted to...treat you...I absolutely didn't mean anything by it..."

Lin Anran felt an irresistible urge to hug him tightly...

Shen Yu slowly released her hand that was pinching her cheek.

As the force dissipated, Lin Anran subconsciously rubbed her cheeks and looked up at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu had already straightened up, stepped back slightly, and was looking down at her.

"Really? I was overthinking it."

The next second... almost instinctively, before Lin Anran's brain could react, her body had already acted.

"More than..."

She let out a soft cry, then threw herself at him, tightly embracing one of Shen Yu's arms and pressing her soft body against his...

"Of course... I really just saw how hard you've been working lately! You've been planning so much for your trip, and you've been taking care of me too. You haven't been getting much sleep lately, you must be exhausted! I just wanted to... I wanted to make you something nice to eat... so you don't wear yourself out... I didn't mean anything by it! Really! I swear!"

As she spoke, she held his arm and gently shook it, and even held up her finger to make a vow.

Shen Yu, with her arm around his, sighed helplessly, flicked Lin Anran's forehead with his finger, and said:

"Okay, thank you then..."

Regardless of the circumstances, Lin Anran meant well, so he didn't need to care about it... He still needed to be more confident and not overthink things.

"Hehe, you're welcome! It's what I should do as your girlfriend..."
