My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Xiao Mo, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Lin Mo looked bewildered. "Explain what?"

Lin Shu sat down next to her son and asked, "Why have you been coming home later and later lately?"

Lin Mo didn't hide anything and told him about the tutoring.

She even mentioned that she scored 18 points on the test that morning.

After listening, Lin Shu glared at her angrily, "What's wrong with you? You got 94 points in math on the last standardized test, why did you only get 18 points this time? Were the questions too difficult?"

"Not really, the test questions are even simpler than the standardized test."

Lin Mo scratched his head and told a white lie, "Mom, I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been forgetting things lately."

"Forgot something?"

"Yes, I can't remember a lot of the basic knowledge I learned before. I feel very confused during the exam and can't remember anything."

Lin Mo had no other choice but to explain it this way.

You can't exactly let him tell his mother, "Your son has been reborn, and he's forgotten everything he learned before."

If he said that, his mother would definitely think he was crazy, and might even drag him to the psychiatric ward of the hospital.

"what?"

Lin Shu quickly took her son's hand, her voice filled with worry, "Have you been under too much academic pressure lately?"

Lin Mo lowered his head guiltily, "I don't know, maybe."

"Son, please don't feel pressured."

Lin Shu said worriedly, "Whether you succeed in the future or not, in my eyes you are excellent. As for university, if you don't get in, you don't have to go; but..."

You absolutely mustn't get Alzheimer's!

Lin Mo was initially quite moved.

But upon hearing my mother's last words, all the emotion I felt vanished instantly!

Alzheimer's disease?

I've seen the look in her eyes, she's definitely my mom!

"cough--"

Lin Mo forced a smile, "Mom, why did you associate this with Alzheimer's disease?"

“It’s not that I made the connection, but the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease are exactly what you look like.”

Lin Shu sighed and said, "Sister Zhang next door's father has Alzheimer's. I've heard her mention it a few times when we chatted before. Your situation is exactly the same as what she said."

"Don't take this lightly. It's too late today. Come with me to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. "Mom, it's not as serious as you think."

Lin Shuteng stood up abruptly. "It went from 94 points to 18 points. Isn't that serious?"

Lin Mo wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I have something to do tomorrow, I don't have time."

Lin Shu said sternly, "What could be more important than treating Alzheimer's disease?"

Lin Mo: "..."

This sounds like he has Alzheimer's disease.

"Mom, I don't have Alzheimer's."

"Mental patients don't admit they're mentally ill."

"..."

Lin Mo became completely withdrawn.

My mother really killed the conversation!

"I don't care, you have to come to the hospital with me tomorrow."

"I really don't have time."

Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and said, "I have a tutoring appointment with a classmate tomorrow, so I can't break my promise."

Lin Shu sensed something was off. "Classmate? Male or female?"

Lin Mo opened his eyes. "A girl."

"girl?"

Lin Shu's expression changed, and she remained silent for a while before suddenly laughing.

That smile sent chills down Lin Mo's spine.

He swallowed hard. "Mom, could you please not laugh so scary?"

Lin Shu glared at her son. "Tell me the truth, is your dropping in grades because you're dating?"

"No."

Lin Mo answered quite seriously, "And I haven't been in a relationship either."

"Ah--"

Lin Shu pointed her finger at her nose, "Xiao Mo, do you think your mother is so easily fooled?"

These are my heartfelt words; believe them or not.

Seeing that her son's expression didn't seem to be lying, Lin Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and reluctantly asked again, "You really didn't talk about it?"

"No."

Lin Mo answered with certainty, "That girl and I are just classmates, at most good friends; watch less campus idol dramas in the future, they'll lower your IQ, and don't talk about dating all the time."

"Shut up if you can't speak!"

Lin Shu's face darkened. "As a mother, can't I even care about my own son?"

"Of course we can care."

Lin Mo poured his mother a glass of water. "Mom, it's the second semester of senior year now. There's not enough time to study, who has time to date? Besides, the school itself forbids high school students from dating. You should know that."

"Does the school's ban work?"

Lin Shu argued logically, "If that's the case, why are there still so many students dating early?"

"Others are others, and I am me."

Lin Mo leaned back lazily on the sofa. "Your son is a man of principle. He knows what to do at the right time and what not to do. I know exactly what he should and shouldn't do."

"Yo?"

Lin Shu looked at her son in surprise and joked with a smile, "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that it came from your mouth."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lin Mo patted his stomach and raised an eyebrow, indicating, "Mom, shouldn't we start eating?"

Lin Shu chuckled, "Aren't you going to wash your hands and wait for Mom to feed you?"

After meal.

Lin Mo sat in front of the computer, flipping through her class notes while searching online for key knowledge points for each stage of high school.

I sat there for seven or eight hours.

Around 3 a.m., Lin Mo finally couldn't stay awake any longer and drifted off to sleep on the table...

The summer breeze in the early morning brings coolness.

Lin Mo rubbed his sore eyes and immediately looked at the clock on the wall.

8:03.

Lin Mo jumped up from the stool instantly.

Oops!

Based on his understanding of An Youyu, he knew that the girl was very likely waiting outside the residential area early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo didn't even bother to wash his face, grabbed his schoolbag from the foot of the bed and went out.

Outside the residential area, under the willow trees on the sidewalk.

An Youyu leaned against the tree trunk, holding a book in her hands and turning the pages from time to time.

Neither passersby nor speeding vehicles could disturb her; she seemed to have a sense of undisturbed freedom, like a whirlwind of noise.

Lin Mo spotted An Youyu from a great distance.

He didn't go forward immediately, but stood there watching the girl reading under the tree.

She was still wearing her school uniform, just like in her previous life.

In my memory, An Youyu only seemed to wear school uniforms; I had never seen her wear anything else.

Recalling the girl's lunch yesterday, Lin Mo seemed to understand something.

"Sorry, I studied too late last night and overslept."

Upon hearing the sound, An Youyu closed her book, and as she raised her chin, her eyes flickered. "It's okay, I just came out too."

She looked at the sweat on Lin Mo's forehead and subconsciously took out a tissue from her pocket. "Here you go."

"Thank you."

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony, and their fingers briefly touched as they took the tissues.

An Youyu recoiled as if she had been electrocuted.

She turned her head away, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. "Where...will the tutoring take place?"

Without hesitation, Lin Mo answered, "Your home."

"No, no, let's go somewhere else."

Lin Mo was not surprised by the girl's rejection.
