Oh no, my deskmate is a yandere!

"Is...that so?"

From the moment she entered the room, her every action seemed perfectly natural.

But the calmer it is, the more normal it is.

Yang An felt increasingly awkward.

He pointed to the empty bed and asked cautiously, "Um, did you tidy up my bedroom?"

"Mmm." Jiang Nianxi said without changing her expression, moved the small stool next to her to sit down, picked up a slice of watermelon, and began to savor it in small bites.

She took a moment to organize her thoughts.

"You were sleeping on the floor, so I had to help you into the bedroom. But your bed was piled with stuff, so I tidied it up for you."

"Originally... I was going to go back after I finished, but I was worried that you would be sleeping too soundly and no one would take care of you."

Perfectly clothed.

Yang An was completely taken aback by those few words.

"Is that so? Thank you..."

"Um."

"..."

Jiang Nianxi wasn't shy at all; she felt right at home here.

After finishing eating the watermelon rind, I waved it in front of me and then threw it into the small trash can next to me.

Following the direction of his gaze, Yang An discovered that the trash can, which had been nearly overflowing, was now completely clean.

The garbage bags inside had already been replaced with new ones.

The only piece of trash was the long, narrow watermelon rind that had just been thrown in.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I would be so sleepy after eating... It's strange, I've been sleepy before, but never this bad."

He sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes darting around.

"You came to my house, cooked for me, and took care of me, which is why you haven't come home yet... By the way, what time is it?"

Jiang Nianxi didn't take out her phone, but as if she already knew the time, she said calmly, "Seven o'clock in the evening."

"What!?"

Before he could even warm his backside, Yang An almost jumped up from the bedside.

7 PM.

Seven o'clock!

If he remembered correctly, it was only around midnight when Jiang Nianxi entered his house!

How did I end up sleeping until 7 PM?!

In other words, Jiang Nianxi stayed for six or seven hours without going home in order to take care of him.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he twisted his stiff neck, just in time to meet Jiang Nianxi's interested gaze.

"Excuse me, just a moment."

He forced a smile and reached for his phone in his pocket.

However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the pocket.

He looked down.

"..."

Yang An forgot that his coat had been taken off, leaving him only in a thin shirt with no pockets in sight.

So he turned his attention to the clothes that were already folded on the bedside table.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard he searched through the pile of clothes, he couldn't find his phone.

The coat was neatly laid out, and the other valuables in the pockets were also intact.

The phone seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"...Are you looking for your phone?"

Seeing the helpless scene before her, Jiang Nianxi took a bite of watermelon and suddenly said.

The boy nodded awkwardly.

She seemed completely unsurprised, and instead reached for her dress.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the top of this long dress has a pocket that is almost invisible.

As you pull your finger out, the familiar phone case follows.

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find your phone when you woke up, so I kept it for you."

She handed him the phone, and Yang An took it and turned on the screen.

It was 7:45 PM.

Jiang Nianxi is right.

It really is seven o'clock now.

He looked surprised and suspicious, then suddenly stared directly at the girl sitting on the small stool: "Did you...look at my phone?"

"...Ha, how could you think like that?"

Recalling what she had done before, Jiang Nianxi naturally couldn't admit it.

Her expression showed a perfectly measured hint of disappointment.

"I didn't touch anything, I just kept it safe for you..."

No, big sister.

It seems like you shouldn't just leave your phone with someone else, right?

Looking at Jiang Nianxi's aggrieved expression, Yang An felt a pang of discomfort, as if he had swallowed raw ginger.

He was very grateful for the help Jiang Nianxi had given him today.

But one thing at a time.

You can't just touch someone's privacy.

Moreover, regardless of whether there was any spying or not, if it were an ordinary person, wouldn't they be suspicious if their phone was in someone else's hands for several hours?

There will definitely be a problem.

"Well, it's getting late, why don't you... go home first?"

Of course, Yang An certainly couldn't let this small matter overshadow the important matters.

The biggest problem right now is that Jiang Nianxi has been staying at his house for too long.

It's not a good situation for a man and a woman to be alone together.

If the neighbors see this, it might affect their reputation.

Some elderly people have limited understanding.

Especially girls.

Before he moved, his neighbor was an older woman who was six years older than him and was in middle school.

It was because during summer vacation, she often liked to go to her relative's house upstairs, and coincidentally, her relative was her cousin, who was also quite young.

As time went on, some of the elderly people started spreading rumors.

They said the two of them were having an affair in private, and that they were immoral at such a young age.

They even made it sound convincing.

Although, given Jiang Nianxi's situation, she probably doesn't care at all.

But Yang An has his own moral code.

Most importantly, his and Jiang Nianxi's situation is very special.

They had been entangled for various reasons before, and now that they were going to cut off contact, they couldn't let Jiang Nianxi stay in their home for too long.

"...It's so late."

Hearing this advice, Jiang Nianxi looked at the window, which was half-covered by the curtains.

Outside the window, the sky was completely dark, with no stars, only the occasional sound of car horns in the distance.

Her voice was forlorn: "My home is also in this old neighborhood, but it's on the other side, and it takes a while to walk there."

"Those alleyways don't have streetlights..."

The subtext in her words was quite clear.

In short, it's fear.

I'm afraid of walking in the dark at night, afraid of encountering danger.

After all... this area is over twenty years old, the buildings are built in an extremely irregular pattern, and the roads are winding and meandering.

However, given Jiang Nianxi's strength, which surpasses even his own, most people would be more afraid of her than of the other side...

As Yang An pondered this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He pointed to the hem of Jiang Nianxi's skirt where she had just taken out her phone: "Don't you have a phone? If you're afraid of the dark, you can turn on the flashlight."

"...My phone died and shut down."

Jiang Nianxi took out her own phone, looking somewhat innocent.

It's a rather simple and older model.

The outer shell is just a layer of transparent plastic.

It was very clean, and surprisingly, it didn't turn yellow. The phone screen was also shiny and clear.

Compared to Yang An's phone, it was a heavily damaged version.

She pressed the power button a few times, but the phone did not respond at all.

Seemingly to convince Yang An, Jiang Nianxi pressed and held the power button for another ten seconds.
