My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Xia Lingrou's expression revealed regret, "What a pity..."

……

The school bell rings.

An Youyu slung her backpack over her shoulder and gently patted Lin Mo, who was still doing practice problems, on her way home. "I'm going home now, bye-bye."

"stop!"

She had just taken a step when she heard Lin Mo's voice in her ear.

"Do, do what?"

"Do nothing."

Lin Mo stood up, snatched her schoolbag, and said meaningfully, "I wonder how fast the river is now. I want to do an experiment."

"What experiment?"

"An experiment on how long it takes for a backpack to disappear after being thrown in."

"you……"

Even though An Youyu was slow to react, she could still hear the threat in Lin Mo's words, and her little face was full of grievance.

"I want to compete for first place on the Phoenix Ranking, so I need to work hard during this time. Is it okay if I don't come to your house for meals during this period?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes to slits. "Do you think that's okay?"

An Youyu nodded repeatedly, "I think it's okay."

Lin Mo slung his backpack over his shoulder and smiled, bathed in the glow of the setting sun outside the window. "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

"So... what do you think?"

What do you think I would think?

"..."

An Youyu was a little dizzy from all the confusion, her cheeks puffing out slightly. "Is it going to work or not?"

"No."

"I protest!"

"Protests are futile."

Lin Mo admired the girl's sullen expression and smiled faintly. "I'll give you two choices: either come home with me for dinner, or I'll use your backpack to do an experiment."

One fresh trick, eaten all over the world!

An Youyu stared at the backpack on Lin Mo's shoulder. After about seven or eight seconds, she sighed resignedly, "Fine, I'll go, okay? You're so unreasonable..."

Lin Mo laughed loudly, slung two schoolbags over his shoulder and walked outside, saying as he went, "Little Fish, you probably don't know the rules of my family. We never follow the rules in my family."

"If you can't accept reason, what are you arguing about?"

"I acknowledge you."

Lin Mo stood at the classroom door and looked back. Seeing the girl standing there, he slowly spoke in a deep voice, three parts gentle and seven parts serious.

"A day without fish is a day without joy."

Chapter 97 Beware of fire, theft, and your mother!

Open the door and enter the house.

Lin Mo noticed the two suitcases next to the sofa, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Hearing the noise coming from his mother's room, he turned around, winked at An Youyu behind him, and gestured for her to be quiet.

"Let's go see what my mom is doing?"

"…it is good."

This sneaky behavior gave An Youyu a thrill, and she tiptoed after Lin Mo to the door of the room.

"We need to bring this, and we need to bring this too..."

Lin Shu stood at the foot of the bed, looking at the various items on it, and making a rather conflicted selection.

Lin Mo had intended to sneak up behind his mother and scare her, but just as he was about to turn around and say something, the girl was too close. When he turned his head, their heads bumped together.

"it hurts……"

An Youyu covered her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.

Such a commotion naturally did not escape Lin Shu's ears. When she saw the two people acting suspiciously at the door, she strode over.

"What are you doing?"

"No, I didn't do anything."

Lin Mo felt guilty and secretly gave An Youyu a look.

An Youyu rubbed her forehead pitifully, completely unaware of Lin Mo's hint.

"Auntie, Lin Mo and I saw two suitcases and wanted to see what you were doing, but we accidentally bumped into each other."

Lin Shu cupped An Youyu's face in her hands, looked at her flushed forehead, and glared at her son, "Look what you've done!"

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, "It was an accident, it was just an accident."

"I don't care, you're the one who bumped into the fish."

Lin Shu didn't bother with all that logic. She pointed to the kitchen and said, "Perfect timing. Dinner hasn't been made yet. As punishment for hitting the fish, you're in charge of making dinner tonight."

"As ordered."

Lin Mo wasn't averse to cooking and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Lin Shu pulled An Youyu into the room and blew on her forehead. "Does it still hurt? Should I put some cooling balm on it?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

An Youyu looked at the various items on the bed, her eyes filled with doubt, "Auntie, are you going on a long trip?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to Liangshan to sweep the tombs tomorrow? I happen to have some time, so I'd like to go with you. Liangshan is more than 100 kilometers away from here, so of course we need to bring more things."

"what?"

An Youyu stared blankly with her mouth agape, "Auntie, we can go and come back on the same day, do we need to prepare so much stuff?"

"Go and return on the same day?"

Hearing this, Lin Shu was quite surprised, "Aren't you going to stay in Liangshan for a few days?"

"Can't stop."

An Youyu's eyes were filled with memories. "There is no place to live in Liangshan anymore. There was a flash flood there. The survivors have all moved away. There are no houses to live in there anymore."

"It's okay, I brought a tent."

"But……"

An Youyu weakly held up one finger, "I only asked the teacher for a day off."

"It's alright, I'll ask for the leave."

As she spoke, Lin Shu took out her phone, found Yan Shiming's number, and dialed it.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Ms. Lin?"

"Yes, it's me; Teacher Yan, Yu'er... that is, An Youyu. I'm accompanying her to sweep the tombs. One day off might not be enough, so I'm asking you for two more days, making it a total of three days off. Is that okay?"

"can."

Faced with Lin Shu, Yan Shiming readily agreed without hesitation, then changed the subject: "What about Lin Mo?"

"Him? Just give him a day off."

Lin Shu's eyes gleamed with a malicious smile. "Yu'er has a solid foundation, so missing a few days won't be a problem. But Xiao Mo is different. His foundation is much weaker. If he doesn't study hard, how will he get into a good university?"

"cough--"

Yan Shiming cautiously reminded her, "Ms. Lin, Lin Mo's current grades are already very good. Although he can't compare to An Youyu, he's not 'bad' at all."

"Oh?"

Lin Shu asked with a smile, "Can Professor Yan guarantee that he can get into Tsinghua University?"

"Well... I can't guarantee that."

"That's still not good enough."

"..."

Lin Shu put down the phone and gave an OK sign. "Done."

An Youyu glanced towards the kitchen and asked, "Why didn't Auntie give Lin Mo a couple more days off as well?"

Why should we ask him for two more days off?

Lin Shu scoffed, "If this kid were here, he definitely wouldn't let me take you out to have fun... cough cough, go out to play; if I could, I wouldn't want this kid to come along."

"Go crazy?"

An Youyu felt a little worried and said timidly, "Auntie, I also have study assignments. I'll just ask for a day off and come back on the same day."

"No, I've already taken the leave, I can't go back on my word."

"Can……"

Lin Shu noticed the girl's frightened look and chuckled, "Alright, do as I say. After we go to Liangshan to sweep the tombs, Auntie will definitely give you a unique experience."

"Can't I not go?"

"No, you have to go!"

"No, I'm not going..."

An Youyu caught a fleeting smirk on Lin Shu's face, and her heart pounded.

"Don't go?"
