Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Both were satisfied with the exchange, ate some fruit, and it was getting late.

The two went to take a shower one after the other, with Lin Anran going first.

After showering, she changed into clean pajamas, carefully dried her hair with a towel, and then used a hairdryer to make it dry and fluffy.

Shen Yu quickly finished washing up and came out, having also changed into her pajamas and dried her hair, which fell softly across her forehead.

He sat down next to Lin Anran.

The living room was quiet. Shen Yu turned his head and looked at Lin Anran.

She had just taken a shower, her cheeks were slightly pink, and her skin looked exceptionally fair and delicate.

She leaned back on the sofa, looking very relaxed.

"Let's talk a little longer," Shen Yu said, her voice sounding exceptionally clear and gentle in the quiet night.

Lin Anran nodded immediately, naturally moved closer to him, and then gently rested her head on Shen Yu's shoulder.

Her movements were light, a little tentative, but more of a natural intimacy.

"Okay!

She responded, and Shen Yu's shoulder felt very comfortable to lean on, making her close her eyes contentedly.

The two sat quietly together for a while, then Lin Anran suddenly spoke, her voice lower than before:

"Shen Yu..."

"Um?"

"Won't you find it annoying when I treat you like this?"

She asked questions slowly, and each word was spoken clearly.

"You... must be someone who really enjoys peace and quiet, reading alone, living alone..."

Hearing her sudden change in tone and the cautious probing in her words, Shen Yu felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He could tell that Lin Anran was genuinely trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

I want to ascertain the boundaries of their relationship dynamic and how he feels.

He remained silent for a few seconds before slowly answering:

"Yes."

"I used to be used to being alone and I liked quiet."

He paused, then felt Lin Anran, who was leaning on his shoulder, seem to tense up a bit.

"but..."

"After meeting you, I started thinking, maybe I could try living a different kind of life..."

"Hmm?" Lin Anran raised her head, looked at Shen Yu's profile as he stared straight ahead, and blinked.

"When you've been alone for a long time, you start to wonder... what it would be like to live with another person... what it would feel like to be in a relationship..."

He turned his head, his gaze falling on her eyes, his voice calmer than before:

"So, you don't need to be too reserved, just be yourself."

Treat me the way you are, no matter what, I will accept it all.

"And... I will try to adapt to you, to... cater to you."

Even if... sometimes, some of your actions may not be in line with my previous habits or personality.

"But I will try my best to get used to it."

Shen Yu's voice was not loud, and his tone remained steady, even calm.

But it was precisely this calm statement that made Lin Anran's heart race and her cheeks burn more than any sweet words of love...

He didn't say "I like you the way you are," nor did he give a perfunctory reply like "It's not annoying at all."

He simply told her honestly what he used to be like, and what changes he wanted to make because of her.

And... he was willing to work hard and cater to her.

So sincere... it brought tears to Lin Anran's eyes.

She leaned on his shoulder, her eyes subtly reddening.

After several seconds, she retorted in a muffled, low voice:

"You don't need to... deliberately try to please me..."

Her voice was slightly nasal, but she tried to make her tone sound more relaxed:

"I still hope... that you can tell me anything, whatever's on your mind..."

"Like you said, mutual understanding... mutual help..."

"I know we both...have some flaws, but we can discuss it together and...find a way that we're both comfortable with..."

"After all... only you can accept me... so I will only listen to you."

Lin Anran knew very well that she was never someone who could be controlled by others. On the contrary, she was very independent, very cold, and opposed to everyone.

He has a dark and extreme personality, and can even be quite crazy and violent at times.

She couldn't control herself; the thought of her own experiences made her feel an equal loathing for everyone.

But Shen Yu's appearance completely "subdued" her... She was truly convinced, both mentally and physically...

No one has ever understood her so well, cared about her so much, been completely unafraid of her being a radical or dark person, and even accepted her as she was.

He was like a tranquilizer to her; no matter how out of control she became, Shen Yu could always bring her back down to earth...

Hearing her nasal voice, Shen Yu reached out and gently stroked her soft hair.

"Okay, let's discuss it together. It's the right thing to do if we agree with each other..."

Lin Anran nodded vigorously on his shoulder and said nothing more.

Just leaning against him, feeling the warmth emanating from his body and those gentle caresses...

The living room fell silent again, with only the sound of their even breathing.

Time flowed quietly as the night deepened.

After sitting for a while, Lin Anran felt her eyelids getting heavy and couldn't help but let out a small yawn.

Shen Yu shifted slightly and whispered, "It seems a bit late, let's go to sleep."

Lin Anran hummed in response, her voice tinged with drowsiness.

Lin Anran reluctantly lifted her head from his shoulder, rubbed her eyes, and looked at him.

Then, remembering something, she leaned slightly closer to Shen Yu.

The movements were subtle, somewhat tentative, but the goal was clear...

She quickly planted a kiss on his cheek.

Very light, very fast, and separated at the touch.

"Goodnight..." she whispered as she pulled away slightly after the kiss.

Shen Yu felt a soft, warm touch on his cheek and paused for a moment.

He looked at Lin Anran's flushed ears and wandering eyes, a faint smile flashing across his eyes.

He nodded, his tone ordinary, but upon closer listening, it seemed gentler than before:

"Okay, goodnight."

Upon receiving a response, Lin Anran's initial shyness was instantly replaced by overwhelming sweetness.

She pursed her lips, suppressing the urge to curl her smile, stood up from the sofa, and waved to him.

"Well... I'm going back to sleep now."

"it is good."

Lin Anran didn't linger and almost simultaneously strode towards her room.

Before closing the door, I couldn't help but glance back at the living room one last time.

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat. She quickly said, "See you tomorrow!" and then swiftly closed the door.

After closing the door, Lin Anran couldn't suppress a smile, and she laughed heartily...

Goodnight kiss...

Achieved...
