This action immediately drew a protest from An Youyu, who said, "Can you please stop hitting my head? It will stunt my growth."

"No."

"…oh."

As Lin Mo went downstairs, she glanced back and said, "They didn't say the dress looked good."

"Ok?"

An Youyu stood frozen for several seconds before she understood the meaning behind Lin Mo's words, and her fair cheeks flushed crimson in an instant.

Since it didn't mention a skirt, it means it's referring to...

Downstairs, Lin Mo waited for two or three minutes before An Youyu finally arrived.

"Little Fish, it's only three floors, and you walked for three minutes; even if we're slow, we shouldn't walk this slowly, right?"

"I...I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

At this moment, the blush on An Youyu's face was still quite noticeable, and she frantically kicked her white shoes.

"gone."

"it is good."

Around eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Shu stood at the entrance of the residential area, looking around, but she couldn't see her son and An Youyu, which puzzled her. "I hope this rascal doesn't lose Yu'er again."

"When he comes back, I will definitely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo and An Youyu appeared at the corner more than a hundred meters away.

Lin Shu stopped abruptly, looking at the young man and woman walking towards her, and couldn't help but laugh, "Looking at it this way, it seems that Xiao Mo is a bit out of his league?"

As Lin Mo got closer, he also noticed his mother at the entrance of the residential complex and asked in confusion, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Lin Shu ignored her son completely, walked up to the two of them, took An Youyu's little hand and walked towards the house. As they walked, she said enthusiastically, "Yu'er, you look so beautiful in a dress. Don't wear your school uniform on your days off anymore. If you don't have any clothes to change into, Auntie will buy you some. Don't make yourself suffer anymore."

"Thank you, aunt..."

Lin Mo watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, feeling a sense of unease.

Can't you see a living person?

So disrespectful!

But when she thought that this was her own mother, no matter how upset Lin Mo felt, she could only swallow her grievances.

no way!

Because he's the son, he's inherently suppressed...

Chapter 68 I'm Not Stupid

An Youyu was occupied by Lin Shu for the entire morning.

Lin Mo didn't say anything about it, and obediently stayed in his room to study, circling down any questions he didn't understand.

It's a good thing for him to get along with the two of them beforehand.

The time soon came to noon.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

When Lin Mo heard his mother's voice outside the door, he could no longer contain his curiosity and got up to leave the room.

At the dining table, Lin Shu held a plate of sweet and sour pork, tasting it while praising, "Yu'er, I never expected your cooking skills to be so good. Whoever marries you in the future will be so happy!"

"Auntie, Youyu is still in school, getting married... is still a long, long way off."

When the word "marriage" came up, An Youyu's expression became hesitant. After leaving the orphanage, she only had one plan for the future.

I want to go to a good university and earn lots of money so that the younger students in my college can have a better life.

As for getting married?

She had never thought about such a thing, nor did she want to think about it...

Lin Mo silently approached the two of them, his gaze lingering on the plate of sweet and sour pork for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Mom, Xiaoyuer is a guest, how can you let her cook?"

His words carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Lin Shu turned around. "What guest? Yu'er is clearly family. From now on, this is Yu'er's home, and she is your sister. Xiao Mo, let me make this clear: if you dare to bully Yu'er, I'll break your legs!"

Lin Mo: "..."

Was the speed at which the mother succumbed to temptation a little too fast?

It hasn't been that long...

An Youyu tugged at Lin Shu's sleeve and said timidly, "Auntie, it's very offensive for Youyu to come to your house so often. Once Lin Mo's grades stabilize, I'll..."

"Xiao Mo!"

"What?"

"How about letting Mom beat me up?"

"..."

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh; he could easily see that his mother's intention was to interrupt the spell.

As it turns out, this trick works quite well.

An Youyu understood Lin Shu's intention, and while feeling helpless, a warm feeling welled up uncontrollably in her heart.

She gave Lin Mo an apologetic look and took the initiative to divert Lin Shu's attention, "Auntie, the little fish is hungry, can we eat first?"

"of course can."

Lin Shu's attitude instantly changed 180 degrees, her face full of smiles, "Go wash your hands first, dinner will be served soon."

"it is good."

After An Youyu entered the kitchen, Lin Shu finally turned her attention to her son, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Just now..."

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, "No need to explain, it's fine."

Lin Shu laughed and said, "Go wash your hands."

After her son entered the kitchen, she couldn't help but sigh softly, "Xiao Mo, Mom did all this for you..."

During the meal, Lin Shu noticed the atmosphere was a bit quiet, so she asked, "Yu'er, tomorrow is Monday. After your mock exam results come out, are you planning to participate in the Olympiad?"

"I……"

An Youyu hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Auntie, you seem to be very interested in the Olympic Games."

"Little Fish, Auntie will tell you a secret."

Lin Shu lowered her voice, "The top three in each subject of this Olympiad will receive special admission quotas from Tsinghua University. In other words, we don't need to take the college entrance examination anymore; we can go directly to Tsinghua University."

Lin Mo, who was eating, couldn't stand it anymore and put down her chopsticks: "Mom, is this a secret? Everyone obviously knows this. Besides, what's so good about participating in the competition?"

"Even if I successfully obtain a special admission quota from Tsinghua University, I won't be able to choose my major after entering university. Everything will be arranged by the school. In that case, I might as well not have the special admission quota!"

The system's task was simply to help An Youyu obtain a spot in the competition; it didn't require her to participate. After learning that An Youyu didn't want to participate, he gave up on that idea.

However, her mother brought up the competition several times, seemingly trying to encourage An Youyu to participate.

Lin Shu glared at her with displeasure. "Do you think I'm worried about Yu'er? With her grades, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get into Tsinghua University. Isn't it you who's holding her back?"

"Holding someone back?"

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks. "There are still almost three months until the college entrance exam. How do you know I won't get into Tsinghua University until the very last moment?"

"Auntie, Lin Mo is working very hard. With his current rate of improvement, getting into Tsinghua University is not just wishful thinking."

An Youyu said something for Lin Mo, but as soon as she finished speaking, both mother and son turned to look at her. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Youyu was eating and didn't say anything; it was all...it was all a hallucination..."

The girl's adorable reaction instantly broke Lin Shu's guard, and her voice softened, "Why are you being so careful?"

"My aunt said to treat this place as your own home, do whatever you want, say whatever you want; just be yourself and don't be reserved."

"Ah."

An Youyu agreed, behaving as obediently as a kitten.

Lin Mo laughed, "Mom, you don't have to believe your son, but you should at least believe Xiaoyuer, right? Even she thinks I can get into Tsinghua University, can't you give your son a little more trust?"

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

Lin Shu smiled meaningfully and subtly reminded him, "Don't forget our agreement. If you don't get into Tsinghua University, Mom won't tell you anything."

"Okay, then if I pass the exam..."

"There's one more condition; we'll discuss it after you've completed everything."

"..."

When this additional condition was mentioned, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Who knew what kind of conditions his mother would propose?

But he also knew that if he didn't accept this agreement, he would probably never know his mother's secret in his lifetime.

"What agreement?"

"nothing."

Lin Shu kept putting food on An Youyu's plate, saying, "Yu'er, you must eat more in the future. Although it is said that girls look better when they are thin, you are too thin. With such thin arms and legs, you would fall over if the wind blew you down."

"Thank you auntie."

After expressing her gratitude, An Youyu's gaze drifted to Lin Mo, her hesitant expression clearly indicating that she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Lin Mo pretended not to see it and kept his head down while eating.

After dinner, Lin Mo went to the restroom. When he returned to the room, he found An Youyu already waiting for him. Knowing the girl's little thoughts, he closed the door and sat down in front of her.

"What do you want to ask?"

An Youyu's eyes showed surprise, and her fluttering eyelashes made her eyes even more lively. "W-how did you know I wanted to ask you something?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Your thoughts are written all over your face. I'm not blind, of course I know."

An Youyu raised her hand and touched her face. "N-no, I was just curious about what agreement you made with Auntie."

“I want to know some things, and she said she would tell me after I get into Tsinghua University. That's the agreement. Are there any other things you're curious about that you want to ask me?”
