My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Hearing this affectionate address, An Youyu felt a little uncomfortable, her cheeks flushing slightly. "What is it?"

"You got 68 on yesterday's math test, which doesn't seem like your usual score. Are you hiding something from me?"

"This one……"

After hesitating for a moment, An Youyu said in a barely audible voice, "I have already finished self-studying high school math. The reason I got 68 points is because... I didn't want to stand out."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Then can I interpret this as you controlling the score?"

"…Yes."

Lin Mo pressed on, "What about other subjects?"

An Youyu lowered her eyes and said, "Other subjects... are about the same."

Lin Mo considered for a moment, "So, you've already finished learning all the knowledge from high school?"

"Ah."

"So what do you usually study at school?"

"Some knowledge from the second year of university."

This answer surprised Lin Mo. "Why sophomore? Why freshman?"

"I've finished learning the knowledge points from my first year of university."

"..."

Previously, Lin Mo scoffed at the existence of geniuses.

In his view, everyone is pretty much the same.

Some people may be a little smarter than the average person, but it's only by a very small margin.

But An Youyu's words overturned his understanding.

"Cough-cough-"

To cover his embarrassment, Lin Mo coughed repeatedly.

High school seniors are learning college-level material?

This girl is defying the heavens!

An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo and asked, "Can this be kept a secret?"

"can."

Lin Mo readily agreed, playfully clasping his fists, "Teacher An, please guide me in the future."

An Youyu hurriedly waved her little hand, "I was just helping out as much as I could; I'm far from qualified to be a teacher."

"No, you're amazing."

Lin Mo smiled meaningfully, "Continue with tutoring?"

An Youyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and her gaze met Lin Mo's. His dark eyes shone with a kind of light.

That look in her eyes is hard to describe...

But the tenderness contained within it stirred up long-forgotten memories in her heart.

Her eyes were slightly vacant, and her lips touched, "It really does seem like..."

Lin Mo frowned in confusion.

like?

like what?

This girl seems to have some secret, but he knows in his heart that now is not a good time to get to the bottom of it.

The two stared at each other for nearly a minute before An Youyu quickly looked away after regaining her senses.

Lin Mo noticed the girl's subtle movements, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"I……"

Lin Mo spoke up to ease An Youyu's embarrassment, "Shall we start tutoring now?"

An Youyu didn't respond, but silently got up to find the teaching materials. As the tutoring session began, she quickly got into the zone.

The girl's beautiful voice lingered in Lin Mo's ears, and his long-dormant heart slowly began to beat again.

It seems like the wind is picking up on the lake.

Chapter 11 Negotiation

outside the community.

Lin Mo waved goodbye, "I'm leaving."

An Youyu stood still, glanced up at Lin Mo, and quickly lowered her head. "I'm going to work at the library tomorrow."

"Don't go."

Lin Mo said to himself, "If you go to work at the library, who will tutor me?"

An Youyu parted her red lips slightly and finally managed to utter an "Oh".

Lin Mo stepped forward; at 1.82 meters tall, he was nearly 20 centimeters taller than An Youyu.

In addition, An Youyu's habit of looking down creates the most adorable height difference.

Sensing Lin Mo's scent, An Youyu took a step back in a panic.

Lin Mo clenched his right fist and gently placed it on An Youyu's head. "My mom is planning to hire a tutor for me. It's 30 yuan per hour. As a classmate, how about I get a friendly price of 20 yuan per hour?"

An Youyu wanted to dodge, but she didn't dare. "No, no."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't want money."

"Ten yuan, that's the bottom line."

Lin Mo threw out his final trump card, "If you still don't agree, I'll tell the teacher about your score manipulation."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu shook her head repeatedly, raising her chin with a pitiful expression, "Can't I even ask for no money?"

"No."

Lin Mo did not budge.

An Youyu clutched her school uniform in a conflicted manner, and after a long silence, said, "Five yuan, no more than that."

"You got a great price!"

Lin Mo removed his fist from the girl's head. "That's settled then. See you tomorrow."

Watching Lin Mo leave, An Youyu stood at the entrance of the residential area for a very long time. Today held a special meaning for her.

"See you tomorrow."

……

As Lin Mo walked into the dimly lit living room, he casually tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa. Only when he looked up did he notice someone sitting in the corner of the sofa, and goosebumps instantly rose on his body.

He quickly took a few steps back, rubbed his eyes hard, and then froze on the spot.

Who else could that figure on the sofa be but his mother?

Lin Mo turned on the light, patted his chest with a wry smile, and said, "Mom, please don't scare me like that, okay? I'm your only son!"

"Isn't the eldest son just for scaring?"

"..."

Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he turned to turn on the light.

Lin Shu asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

Lin Mo sat opposite his mother. "It was very fulfilling. Today, I discovered how joyful it is to swim in the ocean of knowledge. If only I had known earlier..."

"Stop!"

Lin Shu's lips twitched slightly. "Xiao Mo, do you think Mom will believe that?"

Believe it or not, that's the truth.

Lin Mo picked up the schoolbag beside him and took out a lot of scratch paper and test papers. "These are some of the things we learned in class today. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."

With just one glance, Lin Shu looked away. "Besides tutoring, what else did you do?"

"I cooked a meal."

Lin Mo told him the truth, and then couldn't help but sigh, "That little girl's living conditions are even more difficult than I imagined. It must be really hard on her."

"hard?"

Lin Shu looked puzzled. "What do her parents do?"

She is an orphan.

Hearing this, Lin Shu's gaze softened slightly. "You don't have adoptive parents either?"

Lin Mo shook her head. "No, she used to go to school with the help of the orphanage. Starting from the first year of high school, after she turned sixteen, she worked temporary jobs on Saturdays and Sundays. Now she supports herself to go to school."

"what?"

Lin Shu was moved, "You support yourself through school?"

In this day and age, such things are rarely seen even in the news.

Lin Mo didn't want to say too much about this issue. "Mom, haven't you been trying to find me a tutor lately?"

Lin Shu countered, "How did you know?"

She never mentioned this matter to her son.

Lin Mo didn't explain. "How I know isn't important. Just tell me, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Lin Shu no longer hid anything, "I talked to your homeroom teacher this morning. With your current grades, you can only get into a junior college at most, so I suggest you find a tutor."
