Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Shen Yu nodded and said, "Yes, she is very well-behaved."

He reached out, his movements more practiced than before, and gently lifted the soft little body from the bed, holding it steadily in his arms.

The little one seemed quite comfortable in his arms, nuzzling his head against his chest and making contented whimpering sounds...

Shen Yu looked up at Lin Anran and said softly, "Want a hug?"

"Huh?" Lin Anran was clearly taken aback by his sudden question, and instinctively took a small step back, her face showing a hint of helplessness and nervousness.

"Me? Can I do it? I... I've never held such a small baby before. What if... what if I hold her uncomfortably and she cries?"

"It's okay, she's a good girl, just give it a try."

As he spoke, he adjusted his posture and carefully handed the baby to Lin Anran.

Lin Anran took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.

She stretched out her arms and, mimicking Shen Yu's earlier gesture, stiffly accepted it.

The little one's body was softer and lighter than I had imagined, carrying a faint milky scent and warmth.

Lin Anran's muscles were tense, her arms were stiff, and she dared not move, for fear of accidentally hurting this fragile little life.

She held her breath and looked down at the baby in her arms.

The baby seemed to sense the change in the arms; its tiny brow furrowed slightly, and its dark eyes blinked as it looked at Lin Anran...

Lin Anran's heart jumped into her throat.

However, the expected crying did not occur.

The little guy stared at Lin Anran for a few seconds, and suddenly, the corners of his little mouth stretched to both sides, revealing an unconscious smile. Although it was fleeting, it was like a ray of sunshine, instantly dispelling all of Lin Anran's tension.

Her little arms and legs began to move merrily and haphazardly again, one of her little hands even waving wildly, almost touching Lin Anran's chin...

She smiled!

Lin Anran exclaimed in surprise, her stiff posture unconsciously relaxing, and her arms finding a more natural position to hold the baby more steadily in her arms.

"She's so cute..." Lin Anran's voice unconsciously softened as she said:

"Look at her hands, they're so small... She seems... seems to really like me?"

Lin Anran lowered her head slightly, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips.

The little one seemed to enjoy the embrace, waving his little hands and occasionally making cooing sounds.

After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Shen Yu strode over, opened the door, and retrieved the items: a can of baby formula, a pack of diapers, a brand-new, sterilized baby bottle, and even a small box of baby wipes and diaper rash cream...

Shen Yu didn't know what to buy, so he went online to look it up and found out what he needed to buy.

After closing the door, the two looked at the small pile of things on the bed, then at each other, and were somewhat at a loss for words.

There is theoretical knowledge, but it is still very difficult to actually put it into practice.

Lin Anran held the child and leaned closer to look. The two of them, heads close together, looked like two students facing an important exam in the dim light of the hotel.

Shen Yu simply took it to the hotel front desk and asked the hotel staff for help.

With the help of the staff, the prepared milk was warm and emitted a faint milky aroma.

Shen Yu put a drop on the back of her hand to test the temperature, and only after confirming that it was suitable did she return to her hotel room.

Shen Yu stiffly adjusted her posture and gently brought the pacifier to the baby's mouth.

The little one almost instinctively opened his mouth and took the pacifier into his mouth.

The next moment, she began to suck hard, her little cheeks puffing out and making a soft "gurgling" sound.

Shen Yu remained in that slightly stiff posture, not daring to move, for fear that she would choke or feel uncomfortable.

Lin Anran also stood by, watching intently, both of them inexplicably nervous.

The milk in the bottle was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

He drank it very quickly and forcefully.

Before long, the small bottle of milk was empty.

She loosened her grip on the nipple, and then her little body twitched and she started hiccuping.

"Uh...uh..."

A series of hiccups echoed in the quiet room.

Shen Yu and Lin Anran exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

"It seems like... I need to burp him? Is that right..." Lin Anran recalled the parenting knowledge she had read with some uncertainty.

Shen Yu nodded, tried to hold the baby upright, let her little head rest on her shoulder, and then, imitating the action she remembered, cupped her hands and gently patted her.

After a few pats, a loud burp came out of the baby's mouth.

She seemed to feel a little better, nuzzling her head against Shen Yu's shoulder and making satisfied humming sounds, her eyelids slowly drooping.

Shen Yu patiently patted her for a while longer until she was sure she had stopped hiccuping, then carefully handed her back to Lin Anran.

Lin Anran took the baby, who was already drowsy, and gently patted her back, just like he had done earlier, as she slowly paced around the room.

The baby found a more comfortable position in her arms, its little face pressed against her chest, and its breathing gradually became even and long.

From preparing the formula, feeding, burping, to falling asleep again, the whole process took only a little over half an hour. She didn't cry at all, and there were very few even symbolic whimpers.

She simply looked at the two of them curiously with her big, dark eyes, then obediently drank her milk, burped comfortably, and fell asleep peacefully.

Lin Anran, holding the baby who had fallen asleep again, gently sat back down on the edge of the bed. She exchanged a glance with Shen Yu, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes...

"She... just like that, fell asleep?"

"Uh... is taking care of children really that simple? I remember it being a very difficult job?"

Both of them were prepared for a tough time, but they didn't expect it to be so simple; they didn't have to do anything at all.

Lin Anran carefully carried the sleeping baby to another bed.

Shen Yu had already spread out the blankets on the bed in advance, creating a soft little nest.

She bent down and gently placed the baby in her arms in the center of the bed.

Lin Anran straightened up, looked down at that peaceful little face, and gently pulled a corner of the blanket over her to make sure she wouldn't catch a cold or have her mouth and nose covered by the blanket...

After doing all this, she straightened up and let out a long, silent sigh of relief.

Only then did she realize that her arms were a little sore and her back was a little stiff.

As soon as she turned around, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

Shen Yu had somehow walked up behind her, reached out his arm, and gently pulled her into his embrace.

He didn't say anything, but simply put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to his chest.

Lin Anran obediently leaned into his arms, surrendering her weight slightly to him.

The two embraced silently until Shen Yu slowly spoke, whispering in Lin Anran's ear:

"Let's go to sleep for a bit. You've worked hard. We'll go home tomorrow, and then...we'll slowly look for her mother."
