Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Upon hearing this, Lin Anran couldn't help but purse her lips, trying to suppress the uncontrollable upward curve of her smile.

But her eyes curved into crescent moons, brimming with undisguised joy...

"hey-hey..."

Although her back was to him and he couldn't see her expression, Shen Yu could clearly sense it.

The smooth skin beneath his palm seemed to subtly warm up slightly at his words.

My whole body seemed to relax a little...

Shen Yu didn't say anything more, but continued what he was doing until he had evenly applied foam to the area on her back that she couldn't reach by herself.

"Alright..." He withdrew his hand, rinsed it with the sink, and cleared his throat.

"Clean it yourself. Be careful, the floor is slippery."

"Yes! Thank you..." Lin Anran nodded vigorously, her voice clear and crisp.

"It's okay."

Shen Yu didn't linger, turned and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him...

Only after stepping out of the bathroom did Shen Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief, because he had been holding his breath the whole time, trying his best to concentrate...

This is the first time I've ever seen a girl with so much... such a large expanse of skin...

Shen Yu sat back on the sofa and continued reading, but she wasn't really absorbed in it; instead, she was thinking...

Lin Anran's actions were all because she liked him... and he did indeed... feel quite pleased with what Lin Anran did.

I probably never imagined these scenarios before, but now that I've actually experienced them, it's really quite interesting, and I can't stop feeling them.

That ambiguous atmosphere, every perfectly timed contact, would gradually deepen his feelings for Lin Anran...

So this is a great way to deepen feelings...

I learned something.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried, unsure how to cultivate a relationship, how to make it thrive, and concerned that if she didn't do something, the relationship would slowly decline...

After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom started again, splashing for a while before gradually stopping.

Then came the rustling sounds of wiping one's body and getting dressed, followed by the sound of blow-drying hair.

After a while, the bathroom door clicked open.

Lin Anran, dressed in clean and soft pajamas, immediately looked at Shen Yu, who was sitting on the sofa.

Then, almost without hesitation, she walked over in a few quick steps and sat down right next to him.

The sofa sank slightly under her weight, and the two bodies pressed closely together through the thin fabric of their pajamas.

Lin Anran turned to the side, crossed her legs, and faced Shen Yu. She didn't say anything, just tilted her head and stared at him without blinking.

His lips couldn't help but curve upwards, revealing a slightly silly smile.

Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he closed the book he had barely read and put it aside.

He turned his head and met her eyes, which were full of laughter.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?" he asked, his voice softening unconsciously as he reached out and gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips.

Lin Anran then rubbed her cheek against his fingers, like a kitten trying to please him.

She shook her head, her voice soft and sweet:

"have no idea..."

"It's just... seeing you makes me happy..."

This sentence is simple, straightforward, and without any embellishment.

Shen Yu looked at her smiling face so close to his own, a smile so pure and without a trace of impurity.

Just seeing him made me happy and I couldn't help but laugh.

So this is what it feels like to be loved so purely.

No reason is needed; simply because it is "you" is enough to be a source of happiness.

Shen Yu's lips finally curved into a smile. He raised his hand and, with a touch of affection, gently ruffled her freshly dried hair...

"Silly."

"Hehe..." Lin Anran chuckled again, not denying Shen Yu's words at all.

She simply pulled her legs up as well, curling up into a ball on the sofa, snuggling even closer to him, and resting her head on his shoulder, letting out a satisfied sigh...

"Shen Yu..."

"Um?"

"It's so kind of you."

"well..."

"I like you the most."

"Okay, okay... I like you too."

Shen Yu paused for a moment after saying that.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word struck Lin Anran's heart clearly.

Lin Anran moved her head slightly, which was resting on his shoulder.

She seemed surprised that these simple words would come from his mouth at this moment, in such a calm and resolute manner...

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately, Lin Anran abruptly raised her head, lifted herself off his shoulder, turned to the side, and stared intently at his profile.

Shen Yu felt his ears burning under her gaze, but he didn't look away. He simply turned his head slightly to meet her intense eyes...

Several seconds passed before Lin Anran seemed to finally process this fact.

Her cheeks flushed rapidly, and her eyes sparkled.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up higher and higher, finally revealing a silly yet sweet smile that made your heart flutter.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly took a deep breath, leaned forward, and got even closer to Shen Yu...

"Um... Shen Yu..."

Her voice was even softer than before, with a hint of probing...

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lin Anran's face turned even redder, her small earlobes becoming almost transparently red.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Shen Yu's eyes anymore. Her gaze drifted to the collarbone area near his collarbone, and her voice was very low:

"I...I want to...take a bite out of you."

After saying those words, she immediately raised her eyes, glanced quickly at Shen Yu, and then quickly lowered her eyes again...

"Um??"

Shen Yu was stunned by this completely unexpected request and didn't react for a moment, only subconsciously repeating:

"Bite...bite me?"

"Hmm..." Lin Anran's voice was almost a hum from her nose...

"Just...just a light...bite..."

"Uh...why..." Shen Yu really didn't understand why Lin Anran would make such a request.

"I just... like you, and then I thought... could it be just for a moment, just for a moment, I couldn't hold back anymore..."

Lin Anran looked up at Shen Yu, held up a finger, blinked, and pursed her lips, looking pitiful.

"Well..."

Shen Yu seemed to have read in a book before that, in a healthy intimate relationship, a light bite could be a symbolic mark or a sign of possession.

Just like an animal gently holding its mate, this represents an intimate declaration of "you are mine," an externalization of emotional possessiveness.

I never expected Lin Anran to have such an emotional impulse...

It's probably similar to... growing strawberries.

"Where should I bite?"
