Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu walked straight toward the stiff figure standing at the door. Hearing the footsteps approaching, Lin Anran's body trembled slightly, and her head drooped even lower, almost burying itself in her chest.

She could feel Shen Yu's presence approaching. She dared not look up or look at him, feeling as if her whole being was filled with failure and guilt.

Shen Yu stopped in front of her.

Then, he bent down, reached out, and picked her up horizontally in his arms.

"!!"

Lin Anran looked up in alarm and met Shen Yu's gaze as he looked down at her.

There was no blame or impatience in those deep eyes.

"More than..."

With a heavy nasal tone and a sob in her voice, she called out softly, her voice filled with fear and uncertainty.

Shen Yu didn't respond, but simply held her, turned around, and steadily walked into the house.

Lin Anran was held in his arms, her body stiff, her mind blank, not understanding what he was going to do...

Are you... angry?

Shen Yu carried her straight to the sofa, sat down first, and then gently placed the person in his arms on his lap, letting her sit sideways facing him.

This posture made Lin Anran even more at a loss.

She sat on Shen Yu's lap, her body almost completely encircled in his arms.

"Yu Yu...it's all my fault...I'm sorry..."

Every word she uttered seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, filled with heavy guilt.

Hearing her broken apology, Shen Yu felt as if his heart had been gently pricked by a needle.

On the surface, he hummed in response, but his voice was low and revealed no emotion...

Shen Yu could feel that Lin Anran was holding her breath.

He raised his hand and gently lifted her chin with his knuckles, forcing her to look at him.

Lin Anran was forced to raise her head, her eyes blurry with tears as she met Shen Yu's deep gaze.

Her eyes and nose were red, and her lips were so pale from being bitten so hard.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Shen Yu looked at her and asked softly.

Lin Anran was taken aback, clearly not expecting Shen Yu to say that.

But after only a two-second pause, she nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes! I know I was wrong!"

Shen Yu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said:

"If you've made a mistake, you have to make amends, right?"

Lin Anran nodded eagerly, as if grasping at a lifeline:

"Yes! Yu Yu... I'm willing to make it up to you no matter what!"

Her eyes were earnest, filled with a desperate desire and determination to atone for her sins.

Shen Yu nodded slightly, his voice softening:

"That's good, I'm glad you're willing."

"Since you're so sincere about making amends..."

"Then... from today onwards, I'll be entirely in your care for my health, okay..."

Lin Anran blinked her still-wet eyes, not reacting for a moment:

"Huh? Treatment?"

"Um."

Shen Yu nodded and said in a serious tone:

"Didn't the doctor say to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid staying up late? Once the internal heat subsides, it will be fine. These..."

He leaned slightly closer to her and said:

"They all need someone to supervise and take care of them, right?"

Lin Anran nodded subconsciously and replied, "Yes...that's right!"

"So, for the next few days, my three meals a day, my daily routine, and..."

"...I'll leave all the other matters that need to be handled with cooling down to you..."

Lin Anran instantly understood, her cheeks flushed, she pursed her lips, and nodded gently...

"Hmm...Leave it to me..." she replied softly, her voice slightly nasal.

Shen Yu nodded in satisfaction, his tone softening:

"Okay, then it's nothing serious. Don't be sad anymore, okay?"

He deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting Lin Anran to continue wallowing in self-blame.

"Okay!"

Although Lin Anran's eyes were still red, her gaze had become much clearer.

She stood up from Shen Yu's lap and said:

"Then... I'll go clear the table!"

As she spoke, she turned and walked toward the dining table.

Shen Yu slapped his thigh, got up, and followed.

"Let's pack together, there's a lot of stuff."

"No, no!" Lin Anran immediately spread her arms to stop him, her face full of seriousness and determination:

"I'll take care of these things! You go and sit down and rest!"

She pushed Shen Yu, trying to shoo him back to the sofa.

Seeing her face flush slightly with anxiety, Shen Yu knew that she was trying to make up for her guilt in this way.

His heart softened, and he went along with her wishes.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." He didn't say anything more, but raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

He knew that keeping her busy at this moment, making her feel like she was doing something for him, would make her feel better than any words of comfort.

With Shen Yu's approval, Lin Anran turned around and quickly began to pack.

She acted quickly; those dishes... she didn't want to see them at all, and she would never cook them again in her life, so she dumped them all into the trash bag.

After clearing the table, washing the dishes, and wiping the kitchen spotless, Lin Anran finally took off her apron and let out a long sigh of relief.

She washed her hands and went to the living room, where Shen Yu was leaning against the sofa reading a book.

"Yu Yu..." She walked to the sofa, squatted down, looked up at Shen Yu, and her voice was full of concern:

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Is your mouth still dry? Are you feeling hot?"

Shen Yu put down his book and looked down at her.

"It's alright, much better than before, nothing's wrong."

"Then wait here! I'll go heat up your medicine!" Lin Anran immediately stood up, preparing to go to the kitchen to heat up the herbal soup that Shen Yu had just bought from the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Soon, the sounds of a stove being turned on and water being poured came from the kitchen...

A moment later, Lin Anran carefully walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, carrying a steaming bowl of what looked like a potent brown liquid.

"Yuyu, the medicine is ready..." she said softly, placing the bowl on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Shen Yu put down his book and his gaze fell on the bowl of dark brown medicine on the coffee table.

The medicine was still steaming hot, and its strong, bitter smell assaulted the nostrils.

It's so bitter that you can tell just by looking at it; you don't even need to taste it.

The bowl was an ordinary white porcelain bowl; the medicine was a deep color, and steam rose from it.

For some reason, an image flashed through Shen Yu's mind—

Big brother, it's time to take your medicine...

Shen Yu picked up the bowl of medicine, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, trying to bolster her courage. It really took a lot of courage to drink it...

Lin Anran, watching from the side, reminded him, "Blow on it, be careful it's hot...drink it all in one gulp..."

Under Lin Anran's tense gaze, Shen Yu held her breath, picked up the bowl, brought it to her lips, and closed her eyes...

"Gulp, gulp..."

The brown medicine slid down his throat, and an indescribable, extreme bitterness exploded in his mouth and esophagus, rushing straight to the top of his head.

Shen Yu's face scrunched up almost instantly...

He forced down the entire bowl of medicine, then immediately put the empty bowl back on the coffee table and covered his mouth...

"Yu Yu, you're awesome! Are you alright? Are you in a lot of pain?" Lin Anran clapped for Shen Yu while looking at him with concern.

Shen Yu stared at Lin Anran, then suddenly remembered something and beckoned to her with his finger...
