Oh no! My yandere school beauty is so clingy!

Lin Anran felt completely limp, as if she had no bones, and her mind was buzzing...

She could even taste a tiny bit of sweetness, a trace of it from Shen Yu's lips after eating the candied hawthorn.

This was the first time Shen Yu had ever kissed her lips on his own initiative, and... it was so forceful... she felt all her strength drain away in an instant.

She originally intended to tease Shen Yu, but now it seems... no matter how she tries, she can't outwit him; he always manages to outmaneuver her...

Her legs were so weak that her body swayed, and she simply leaned forward, resting her forehead against his chest.

She was too weak to speak, and didn't want to speak.

She leaned against him, surrendering her entire weight to him.

Shen Yu's arm naturally wrapped around her waist, supporting her and preventing her from slipping down.

At this moment, Lin Anran's heart was fragile, a kind of fragility that was so sweet it made her dizzy.

A sense of satisfaction from being conquered surged up...

She could even feel the corners of her mouth uncontrollably curving upwards little by little.

At this moment, Shen Yu looked down at Lin Anran in his arms, and he already had his own answer in his heart.

His proactive actions towards Lin Anran these past two days were actually premeditated, not just impulsive.

Because he genuinely wanted to understand Lin Anran's preferences and see how she would like him to treat her.

Shen Yu had known for a long time that Lin Anran possessed an extreme possessiveness and exclusivity stemming from her extreme infatuation.

So from the beginning, he wanted to play a slightly weaker role in the relationship.

Yes, he had planned this from the very beginning, positioning himself in this way within the relationship.

We can't let Lin Anran have complete control, but we also can't let her have none at all. Finding the right balance might make Lin Anran like us more and more, making her unable to resist...

This can be considered Shen Yu's way of maintaining the relationship...

It's not that he's too rational; you have to be careful when you're in a relationship. The main thing is that he's just that kind of person. Trying to make him completely lose his rationality... that's probably impossible for now.

Although he had his own ulterior motives, his feelings for Lin Anran were genuine and not fake. He did all this in order to treat her well in a rational way.

If you have low emotional intelligence, then make up for it with high IQ, otherwise there's nothing else you can do...

However, ever since Shen Yu bit Lin Anran, he had sensed something was wrong...

He discovered that Lin Anran's personality wasn't as simple as it seemed...

Deep down, she lacks a sense of security and craves love...

She craved that kind of love that was given "all out"—hugs, kisses, even bites, all so forceful they caused pain...

For her, that pain was perhaps proof of "love".

This is isomorphic to her possessiveness.

She would think that "being forcefully possessed by the other party" is equivalent to "the other party proving through their actions their absolute need and obsession with me."

In her somewhat distorted mind, his domineering, uncontrollable, and even harmful behavior could all be interpreted as proof of the depth of his love...

Shen Yu has begun to understand Lin Anran a little better.

He initially thought... Lin Anran was a masochist...

It seems that it's not that simple now. M obtains sexual pleasure or psychological satisfaction by enduring pain or humiliation, with the aim of pleasure and release.

Lin Anran, on the other hand, has a pathological mentality of extreme longing for love... to the point of using pain to prove love... with the aim of filling the emptiness and unease in her heart.

To Shen Yu, Lin Anran was still a bit too profound.

It feels like you could study her your whole life...

Shen Yu lowered his head, glanced at Lin Anran who was resting against him, and asked softly:

"Have you rested well?"

Lin Anran lingered in his arms for a few more seconds before reluctantly raising her head, her face still flushed.

She straightened up, gave Shen Yu a smile, her eyes crinkling:

"Okay! All done!"

Shen Yu reached out and tidied her hair that had been messed up, then took her hand:

"Okay, let's go then."

"Mmm!" Lin Anran squeezed his hand back tightly, her fingers gripping his firmly.

The two held hands and rejoined the crowd, slowly walking along the old street.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of a street with the appearance of an ancient town.

The cobblestone streets, white walls and black tiles, upturned eaves, red lanterns and shop signs hanging at the entrances, and throngs of tourists create a lively atmosphere.

This seems to be a well-known tourist attraction, with many visitors stopping to take photos.

The two walked side by side into the ancient town's streets. On both sides were all sorts of small shops selling handicrafts, local snacks, and clothing, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods and the laughter of tourists.

Lin Anran looked around with great interest, pulling Shen Yu to look at anything new and interesting. Shen Yu let her have her way, accompanying her as they strolled around.

He would occasionally respond to her with a few words, but his gaze was mostly fixed on her vivid profile.

Walking to a waterside corridor, the scenery is beautiful, with small bridges, flowing water, and swaying willows. Many tourists are taking pictures here.

A middle-aged man carrying a camera and a backpack walked towards them, his gaze sweeping over Shen Yu and Lin Anran before he broke into a warm smile.

"Would you two like to take a photo? It's very cheap."

As he spoke, the man showed his tablet, which displayed his photographs: couples and families. The photos were indeed quite good, with excellent lighting and composition.

Lin Anran looked at the sample photos on the photographer's tablet, her eyes lit up, and then she quickly glanced at Shen Yu, her eyes hiding a hint of cautious anticipation.

She and Shen Yu don't even have a proper photo together yet...

She... still really wanted a photo that could capture a beautiful moment.

Shen Yu easily caught the glimmer of light in her eyes.

He glanced at the photographer, nodded, and asked calmly:

"Okay, is it a digital version or a printed photo?"

"We have them all! The prices are different; the digital version is a bit cheaper. If you want it printed out and made into a small frame or album, the effect will be even better, but it will take a few minutes. It depends on what kind you prefer."

Shen Yu answered almost without hesitation: "I want them both."

The photographer immediately beamed: "Okay!"

Lin Anran pursed her lips, her heart overflowing with joy.

Shen Yu paid the money readily, and then the photographer enthusiastically led them to a wooden platform by the water, with babbling water and weeping willows behind it.

"Please come this way, both of you. The lighting is better here, and the background is beautiful."

Shen Yu readily agreed, but when the photographer raised his camera and gestured for them to stand still, he froze.

He rarely takes photos; aside from ID photos and group photos he has to attend, he almost never faces the camera willingly...

Standing in front of the camera right now, I feel incredibly awkward. I don't know what to do with my hands and feet, and my expression is a bit tense...
