Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

In the following days, Shen Yu and Lin Anran would make time to visit Zhang Shuyu every day.

Sometimes it's in the morning, sometimes in the evening, and I always bring something... fresh fruit, a few snacks, or baby formula and diapers.

Zhang Shuyu used the money Shen Yu gave her to buy two small plastic stools. Although they were cheap, at least they had a place to sit when they arrived, instead of having to stand all the time...

Every time they come, they sit on a small stool or by the bed and chat for a while.

Zhang Shuyu didn't talk much; she mostly listened to Shen Yu and Lin Anran talk about school matters or interesting things they had seen outside.

Lin Anran sometimes plays with the baby, carrying her around the small room. The little one seems to like her very much, always smiling happily when held by her...

Shen Yu would not stay for long, about half an hour, before getting up and saying, "I won't keep you from resting any longer," and then leaving with Lin Anran.

They struck a good balance, making Zhang Shuyu feel cared for without causing her any burden.

Zhang Shuyu's complexion did indeed improve day by day.

His face regained some color, no longer so pale and frightening, and he seemed more energetic.

The things Shen Yu and the others brought couldn't be stored in the house without a refrigerator. Even though Zhang Shuyu was very frugal, she couldn't bear to waste the good food and meat; the baby couldn't eat it, so she had to eat it herself...

With proper nutrition, the body naturally begins to improve...

That afternoon, Shen Yu and Lin Anran came again.

As usual, we put down our things and chatted for a few minutes.

Shen Yu's gaze fell on Zhang Shuyu... a faded T-shirt, jeans whose original color was no longer recognizable, and a pair of very old canvas shoes.

This outfit was really incongruous with her eighteen years of age and her face that had just begun to regain some vitality...

Shen Yu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "The weather is nice today. Let's not stay cooped up indoors all the time. Take the baby and let's go out for a walk."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over her clothes, his tone as casual as possible:

"You haven't been out for a while either, have you?"

Zhang Shuyu was stunned, and subconsciously let out an "Ah," her expression somewhat bewildered.

"This...I..."

In reality, she has hardly ever "sold out" in the true sense.

Having grown up in an orphanage in a small suburban town, she came to this city and was initially busy working to survive. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth, further isolating herself from the outside world.

She dared not go shopping, afraid that she might accidentally spend money she shouldn't have, and even more afraid that the kind of glitz and excitement that didn't belong to her would make her look even more pathetic.

Now that she has a child, she's even more afraid to take him out. She'd heard the women at the orphanage say that big cities are full of suspicious people, and there are many child thieves and scammers.

She was timid and terrified of anything going wrong...

When Shen Yu suddenly brought it up, her first reaction was fear and resistance.

Lin Anran also spoke softly from the side, her voice gentle:

"Yes, let's go out for a walk. The sun is shining brightly today... The baby should also go out for some fresh air and sunshine. It's good for his health. Staying cooped up at home all the time isn't good either."

Zhang Shuyu looked at her daughter babbling and waving her little hands in the stroller, then at Shen Yu and Lin Anran. After hesitating for a while, she slowly nodded, her voice very soft:

"Indeed... well... okay."

Seeing that she had relented, Shen Yu immediately nodded:

"Alright, let's go then."

And so, the three of them took the baby out the door.

Shen Yu pushed the stroller, Lin Anran walked beside him, and Zhang Shuyu followed closely on the other side of the stroller with her head down.

Three young people, all looking no more than eighteen or nineteen, pushing a stroller with a baby a few months old, certainly attracted a lot of curious and inquisitive glances as they walked down the street...

As soon as she left that dilapidated neighborhood and walked into a relatively bustling street, Zhang Shuyu's deep-seated inferiority and unease were completely exposed.

She kept her head down, her eyes either fixed on the road beneath her feet or glued to the baby in the stroller, barely daring to look up at her surroundings.

Occasionally, a passerby would cast a glance at her, and even if it was just an unintentional look, she would shrink her shoulders, lower her head, and blush slightly like a startled rabbit.

She always felt like people were staring at her. Was there something dirty about her? Were her clothes too old or strange?

Doesn't it seem particularly mismatched to walk next to Shen Yulin and An Ran, who are both well-dressed and have outstanding temperaments?

These thoughts raced through her mind, making her feel uneasy, and her palms even started to sweat...

Shen Yu noticed Zhang Shuyu's unease and timidity, but he said nothing.

She simply slowed her pace so that the distance between herself, pushing the stroller, and Zhang Shuyu, who was walking with her head down, wouldn't be too great.

Lin Anran also walked tacitly on Shen Yu's other side, occasionally whispering a word to him or bending down to look at the baby in the stroller, trying to ease Zhang Shuyu's tension in this natural way...

They entered a shopping mall that wasn't particularly upscale, but looked clean and bright.

The place was bustling with people, and the cool air from the air conditioner mingled with the aromas from various shops.

Zhang Shuyu lowered her head even further, almost burying it in her chest, and walked even lighter, following closely behind Shen Yu and Lin Anran by a step, like a little tail.

She dared not look around, only daring to stare at the heels of the two people in front of her, or quickly glance at the ground.

As I passed by several women's clothing stores, uniformed sales clerks greeted me with professional smiles, "Come in and have a look."

The enthusiastic voice and the gaze directed at her made Zhang Shuyu shudder as if pricked by a needle each time. She would lower her head even further, quicken her pace, and wish she could hide behind Shen Yu immediately.

After browsing for a while, Shen Yu stopped in front of a shop with a simple style and many girly clothes hanging on the shelves.

He glanced around the shop, then said to Zhang Shuyu, "Let's go in and take a look."

Before Zhang Shuyu could react, Shen Yu had already pushed the stroller and walked in first.

Lin Anran gently tugged at her arm and led her inside.

The store was brightly lit, and the racks were full of all kinds of summer clothes, with fresh colors and nice styles.

A young salesperson immediately greeted them with a smile: "Welcome! What would you like to see?"

Shen Yu didn't look at her. His gaze swept across the store, then he naturally pointed to Zhang Shuyu, who seemed a little flustered, and said to the salesperson:

"Pick out a few suitable and comfortable outfits for her."

The salesperson's gaze immediately shifted to Zhang Shuyu, giving her a once-over while maintaining her smile and enthusiastic tone:

"Okay, no problem! Young lady, come over here and take a look, we just received a lot of new styles..."

Zhang Shuyu was completely stunned, and her face turned bright red instantly.

She abruptly looked up at Shen Yu, her eyes filled with panic and rejection. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but the words caught in her throat:

"I...no...no need...I..."

She wanted to refuse, but the salesperson had already turned and walked quickly towards the racks full of clothes, saying as she went:

"Little sister, you have fair skin and you're tall, this color will definitely look good on you..."

Zhang Shuyu stood frozen in place, glancing at the saleswoman who had already begun carefully selecting clothes, then at Shen Yu standing calmly to the side. For a moment, she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet...

Shen Yu patted Lin Anran on the shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Ranran, help her try on the clothes."

Lin Anran nodded obediently and agreed:

"OK!"
