Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran grabbed her change of clothes and practically fled into the bathroom.

The door clicked shut, and soon the sound of water could be heard from inside.

Shen Yu sat down on the sofa and picked up the book he had been reading for a while.

But after flipping through a few pages, I heard my phone vibrate on the coffee table.

He picked it up; the screen lit up—it was a WeChat message...

Zhou Xiaowen: [Class monitor, are you asleep?]

Shen Yu glanced at the closed bathroom door; the sound of water continued.

He tapped his finger on the screen.

Shen Yu: [Not yet, is something wrong?]

The screen displayed "Typing...", which lasted for quite a while, as if the user was carefully considering their words.

Zhou Xiaowen: [I just... have something I wanted to ask you about, about Lin Anran.]

Shen Yu looked at the line of text but didn't reply immediately. He put down his book and leaned back on the sofa in a more relaxed position.

He wasn't surprised by Zhou Xiaowen's sudden message; in fact, he had expected her to ask him about Lin Anran.

Shen Yu: [You asked.]

Zhou Xiaowen: [Today... I just felt... she seemed a little different than before. Class monitor, did you notice it too?]

Shen Yu: [Something's not right?]

Zhou Xiaowen: [It's just... the way she looks at you, and her attitude towards me... is completely different from before. I'm not saying she's bad, it's just... I'm a little worried...]

Shen Yu: [I don't know.]

Shen Yu replied to Zhou Xiaowen with just one short sentence, mainly because he didn't want to talk to her too much.

He had already guessed that more and more people would notice that Lin Anran was acting strangely, and he couldn't possibly have to explain himself to everyone who came to question him...

The best way is to say nothing and let people guess what they want. After graduation, no one will care anymore.

Zhou Xiaowen: [Okay... then you should be careful too.]

The chat ended there. Shen Yu didn't reply to Zhou Xiaowen anymore, turned off her phone, and continued reading.

About half an hour later, Lin Anran finished showering, dried her hair, and came out. She glanced at Shen Yu sitting on the sofa, her face still flushed, the rosy glow of someone who had just come out of the shower.

Shen Yu looked at her and said, "If there's nothing else, go back to your room and rest."

"Hmm... okay."

Lin Anran nodded and responded softly before reluctantly walking to the bedroom door.

"Good night..."

"Okay, goodnight."

Before closing the door, I glanced at the school uniform on the sofa...

I guess I haven't been discovered yet...

Lin Anran was somewhat apprehensive while taking a shower, worried that Shen Yu would discover her actions and question her...

However, Shen Yu didn't seem to notice and didn't ask her anything.

Or perhaps...

He had already discovered it, but he was pretending not to know.

This is also in line with Shen Yu's style.

Because Shen Yu is the only boy she can't understand.

Every move she makes seems to have its own logic, but she can't quite understand it. She appears harmless on the outside, but her mind is filled with countless thoughts...

Having witnessed her mother being killed by her father and then personally sending him to prison, the fact that she can now act as if nothing happened truly astounds Lin Anran...

Lin Anran lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and stared at the ceiling.

After a long time, she finally closed her eyes, relaxed her tense nerves, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

Shen Yu, who was outside, read for a while before lying down on the sofa and going to sleep.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

When Lin Anran woke up, there were already subtle movements in the living room.

She quietly opened the door and saw that Shen Yu had already finished washing up and was heating milk in the kitchen, with the aroma of fried eggs wafting out.

"Good morning." Shen Yu heard the voice and turned around to look at her.

"Okay, good morning..." Lin Anran replied and went into the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out, a simple breakfast was already laid out on the table: two cups of warm milk, two golden-brown fried eggs, and a few slices of toast.

The two sat down facing each other and ate quietly.

The morning light streamed in through the window, casting a bright patch of light on the table.

Halfway through her meal, Shen Yu put down her toast, took a sip of her milk, and then casually said:

"Lin Anran".

"Hmm?" Lin Anran looked up, with a small piece of egg still in her mouth.

Shen Yu looked at her, his tone flat: "If you could behave better at school today..."

He paused, looked at Lin Anran's slightly widened eyes, and continued:

"When I get back tonight, I can let you make one request. Anything is fine, as long as it's within my power, I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Lin Anran's hand holding the spoon froze in mid-air.

She looked at Shen Yu, blinked, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of those words, or rather, not daring to believe it.

"Requirements?" she repeated, her voice a little uncertain, "Anything... is fine?"

"Yes, anything is fine." Shen Yu nodded, then added:

"The premise is that it must be reasonable; you should understand what I mean, right?"

Although Shen Yu said he could do anything, it didn't mean he had no bottom line. How could he possibly do something like murder or arson?

Lin Anran unconsciously held her breath.

My heart started beating faster and faster uncontrollably.

One request...anything is acceptable...

"Yes, I know, it won't be too excessive... it's reasonable."

Lin Anran nodded, understanding Shen Yu's meaning.

Shen Yu looked at her with a satisfied expression and said, "You know what to do, right? Perform well and show me your determination."

"Of course! I'm fine with it!"

Lin Anran nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he continued eating his breakfast.

Lin Anran was silent for a moment, staring at Shen Yu's face, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she said softly:

"You...you're actually a little scary..."

"Hmm?" Shen Yu looked up, met Lin Anran's eyes, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You're quite adept at manipulating people. Although I don't know what you're thinking or what your purpose is, are you using me for a compliance test?"

"Whoa—"

Shen Yu seemed surprised by Lin Anran's response. He smiled, tilted his head, looked at Lin Anran, and asked:

So, will you accept it or not?

"I accept..." Lin Anran answered without hesitation, then a knowing smile appeared on her lips.

"And it's something I've been longing for."

Shen Yu sighed, finished the last bite, stood up, and said as if talking to himself:

"Compared to you, I'm nowhere near as good. You're much scarier than me."

"Same to me."
