Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

In an instant, Lin Anran and Zhou Xiaowen were stunned, frozen in place, staring blankly at Shen Yu standing backlit at the door.

How could he... be here?!

Lin Anran's heart sank to the bottom, and her hands and feet turned ice cold.

How did he find this secluded passage?

There's only one possibility: he saw them come in, but since he saw them, he didn't immediately come in...

Perhaps... he was outside the door just now! Listening to what was happening inside?

How much did he hear? Did he hear everything he said?

The thought was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head, making her blood seem to freeze.

The domineering and intimidating aura he had just displayed when facing Zhou Xiaowen vanished instantly.

"Shen, Shen Yu...you, you're done? I...I...that..."

Lin Anran's voice trembled uncontrollably, and her hands unconsciously clasped together in front of her.

She didn't even dare to look Shen Yu in the eye, her gaze drifting erratically to the ground.

When Zhou Xiaowen, who was lying on the ground, saw Shen Yu, she was like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood.

Zhou Xiaowen scrambled to her feet from the cold ground, not caring about her disheveled state, and quickly shrank behind Shen Yu.

She lifted her tear-streaked face, a hint of lingering shock mixed with a faint sense of relief, and looked at Lin Anran, who stood frozen in place.

The class monitor is here...

He heard it! He must have heard it all!

Now, he should finally see Lin Anran's true colors!

That horrible madman!

Zhou Xiaowen even felt a strange sense of pleasure welling up inside her.

In his gaze toward Lin Anran, besides the lingering fear, there was also a hint of barely perceptible smugness.

Now look what's happened! Lin Anran can't be arrogant anymore! The class monitor has finally seen through her!

Lin Anran kept her head down, her nails digging deep into her palms, causing a sharp pain.

She could feel Zhou Xiaowen's malicious gaze, which felt like needles pricking her.

She wanted to tear that face apart, to gouge out those expectant and smug eyes!

But... Shen Yu is here.

She can't.

She didn't even dare to look up at him.

In the midst of this suffocating silence and standoff, Shen Yu made a move.

He didn't look at Zhou Xiaowen behind him, who was full of anticipation, as if he hadn't even noticed her presence.

His gaze swept calmly across the dimly lit passageway before settling on Lin Anran.

"Yes, I'm done."

Then, under Zhou Xiaowen's astonished gaze, and in Lin Anran's incredulous daze—

Shen Yu reached out and naturally grasped Lin Anran's wrist, which was still trembling slightly.

"Let's go have some fun."

The moment Lin Anran's wrist was grasped by him, her body trembled slightly.

This feeling...is a little off. Although Shen Yu has held my wrist before...

But this time, it felt different from before; it seemed... much gentler than usual.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Yu, her eyes wide with shock and lingering fear.

Shen Yu didn't look at her; his gaze had already turned to the light shining through the passageway.

"Mmm, mmm...okay." She nodded quickly, her voice still a little unsteady, but no longer trembling as it had been before.

Almost instinctively, she obediently followed the force of Shen Yu's turn and took a step.

Shen Yu led her by the hand, heading straight for the open door. His gaze never wavered the entire time.

They didn't even glance at Zhou Xiaowen, whose face was still streaked with tears and filled with disbelief.

It was as if she were just a wisp of air that didn't exist.

Zhou Xiaowen stared at them blankly.

Watching Shen Yu so naturally grasp Lin Anran's wrist, watching him speak to her calmly,

Looking at him... from beginning to end, he didn't even spare her a glance.

The anticipation and secret pleasure I felt just moments ago have now been replaced by a deeper sense of bewilderment.

Didn't he hear me?

No...impossible!

He must have heard it!

He's right outside the door!

Then why...why is he still holding that madman's hand like that?

Can I still speak to her in such a normal tone?

Just as Shen Yu was about to lead Lin Anran out the door,

Lin Anran even turned her head slightly and gave her an undisguised, smug, and sweet smile the instant she turned around.

That smile was incredibly piercing, sending a chill and filling Zhou Xiaowen with more despair than any of the threats she had faced in the darkness...

"Class monitor! She...she..." Zhou Xiaowen finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried out, her voice echoing in the empty corridor, sounding somewhat mournful.

Shen Yu stopped at the door.

But he didn't turn around.

Lin Anran also stopped and looked nervously at Shen Yu's profile.

Shen Yu remained silent for a few seconds,

Then he spoke, his voice not loud.

"Zhou Xiaowen..."

"What's between Lin Anran and me is our business. We don't need to, and we don't welcome, any outsiders interfering or speculating."

"I apologize on her behalf for her offense..."

"Regardless of your opinions or thoughts about us, please stop here and do not let it affect our daily lives. At the same time, we will no longer cause you any trouble. We are drawing a line. Thank you."

"Although I am the class monitor, I only need to do my job well at school and in the class. In private, I am just an ordinary person and I don't have to take care of every classmate. I have no such obligation."

After saying that, he didn't linger and gently tugged at Lin Anran's wrist, who was still in a daze.

"I'm gone."

Lin Anran stumbled a step as he pulled her along before catching up.

In the passageway, only Zhou Xiaowen remained, standing there blankly.

Looking at the now empty doorway, and the cold, piercing light streaming in from outside...

Shen Yu's last words were neither threatening nor accusatory, and could not even be considered harsh.

But that complete, uncompromising severance and indifference left her with a chilling sense of despair.

Lin Anran followed Shen Yu out and was led back into the sunlight by him!

She stared at Shen Yu's retreating figure, her heart pounding wildly! Her cheeks were flushed red, as if they were burning up!

A torrent of emotions welled up inside me, emotions I couldn't suppress...

【What to do, what to do! He was so handsome just now! I can't take it... I can't take it! I like him so much, so much, so much, so much...】

He completely disregards my temper and personality! He's protecting me! He's standing up for me!

[OMG... how can there be such a perfect guy as Shen Yu! I can't take it... I can't take it... I can't take it...]

I'm dying, I'm suffocating, I want to hug him, I want to...hide him...I want...

At this moment, Shen Yu turned her head, glanced at Lin Anran who seemed to be in a daze, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Without saying anything, he turned his head back...
