My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

At this moment, the evening glow and gentle breeze enveloped Lin Mo. Following his gaze, the orange-red sky gradually formed the blushing face of a young girl.

"Fish..."

Chapter 77 The Fish Returns

"Click——"

Just as Lin Mo was lost in thought, he faintly heard the sound of a door opening.

Turn around and look.

A young girl appeared at the door, wearing a white dress that made her already flawless face even more radiant, and a section of her jade-like leg, white as scallions, was revealed under the hem of the dress.

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes, "Little... Little Fish?"

Lin Shu leaned against the door frame and whispered teasingly in An Youyu's ear, "Yu'er, Auntie guessed right, didn't she? This kid must be incredibly surprised by your sudden return."

An Youyu's cheeks flushed, and she waved timidly, "Lin Mo, I... I'm back."

Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Mo quickly snapped out of his daze and strode to the door. "You're back even faster than I expected. Mom, go get Xiaoyuer something to eat."

"Need not."

An Youyu hurriedly shook her head, "Auntie already took me out to eat, and she bought the clothes for me. I don't want to accept them, but Auntie insists on giving them to me..."

The girl's appearance made Lin Shu lose her desire to tease her son. "Yu'er, if Auntie gives you something, just accept it. Sometimes being too formal is not good. Auntie treats you like family, and you can treat Auntie like family too."

"Auntie, the baby fish...we've already taken them in."

Her soft voice carried a hint of helplessness, with a touch of coquettishness mixed in.

Lin Shu was quite pleased, her eyes full of doting affection. "It's not that Auntie is domineering, it's just that the fish is too adorable. From now on, Auntie will take care of your meals."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu's little face showed embarrassment, "Auntie, this isn't quite right..."

"Don't refuse!"

That's obviously very domineering...

An Youyu's submissive nature kicked in again. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Thank you auntie."

"good."

Lin Shu smiled triumphantly and pulled An Youyu to sit down in the living room.

Lin Mo followed and sat down opposite him, his deep voice carrying a hint of concern.

"How have you been these past few days? Is the food there to your liking? Are you settling into your accommodation?"

"I……"

Faced with Lin Mo's barrage of questions, An Youyu was at a loss for words and stammered for a long time without being able to give a coherent answer.

Seeing this, Lin Shu glared at her irritably, "Xiao Mo, can you not ask so many questions at once? Can't you ask them one by one?"

"cough!"

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, changing his tone, "How have you been lately?"

"Good."

An Youyu's hands rested naturally on the hem of her skirt at her waist, but when she thought that this was a new skirt that Lin Shu had just given her, she couldn't bear to squeeze it too hard.

Lin Mo tapped his fingers on the coffee table. "Don't be nervous, this is home."

Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction.

That brat finally said something sensible!

An Youyu nodded, but the tension in her expression remained.

For some reason, she was already able to get along normally with Lin Mo before.

After not seeing each other for a few days, he suddenly became just like when we first met, getting nervous all the time.

She didn't want it to be like this, but she couldn't control herself...

Lin Mo didn't ask An Youyu anything more, and shifted his gaze to his mother, "Mom, why did you come back with Xiaoyuer?"

"you guess."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. "How could I possibly guess?"

Lin Shu didn't keep her in suspense and took An Youyu's hand. "Around 3 p.m., when I came back from work, I ran into Yu'er at the entrance of the community. At that time, I even wondered if I was hallucinating."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing very obvious red marks on her arms.

Lin Mo was speechless. "So, you pinched your arm like this?"

"Is it your business?"

Lin Shu glanced at it indifferently, "I'm happy to!"

"..."

Lin Mo sighed and remained silent.

no way!

Bloodline suppression!

Lin Shu gently tucked a few strands of hair from An Youyu's side, revealing her delicate earlobe. "Doesn't this dress look good on you, Yu'er?"

Lin Mo didn't speak, but the movement of his jaw was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

Lin Shu didn't mind and continued, "I noticed this dress when I went to Qianding last time, but I was afraid that giving two gifts at once would scare Yu'er, so I kept putting it off until now."

An Youyu lowered her eyes, "Auntie, Youyu owes you so much."

"What do two families say when one family speaks?"

"One, a family?"

An Youyu was taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Lin Shu smiled gently, "Auntie told you before that she wanted a daughter; how about you become Auntie's goddaughter?"

"what?"

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Mo said with a straight face, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. This will affect the relationship between me and Xiaoyuer as classmates."

Lin Shu ignored her son. She noticed An Youyu's helpless reaction and felt a little disappointed, but she did not show it on her face.

"Auntie was just kidding. Okay, let's talk about the competition. How do you feel about your performance?"

An Youyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's alright."

Such a nonchalant answer not only dissatisfied Lin Shu, but even Lin Mo couldn't help but speak up, "Little Fish, what do you mean by 'okay'? Could you explain it in more detail?"

"It's alright...not bad."

"..."

This explanation is essentially meaningless.

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. "Where have we gotten to?"

"Ok?"

An Youyu's eyes were filled with doubt, and she didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Mo's words at all.

She was completely unfamiliar with this kind of competition and didn't even understand the basic rules.

Lin Shu didn't interrupt, but listened quietly to their conversation. As time went on, the smile on her face gradually deepened.

Lin Mo poured two glasses of water and handed one to An Youyu and the other to her mother, patiently explaining, "The Olympic competition is divided into three levels: city, province, and national. You need to go through each level of selection to reach the national level. Do you understand?"

"Is that so?"

An Youyu thought for a moment, her eyes revealing a guilty conscience, "I... am not good at communicating with people, so I don't know much about these things."

"Then what do you know? Tell me."

"The special training teacher spent the whole day explaining the question types. Starting from the second day, we did a test paper every morning at 10 a.m.."

"and then?"

"Gone."

"..."

Noticing her son's speechless expression, Lin Shu couldn't hold back any longer and covered her mouth, laughing non-stop.

That smile made An Youyu, who had just relaxed, tense up again. "Auntie, did I say something wrong?"

"Relax, you didn't say anything wrong."

Seeing Lin Shu say this, An Youyu felt relieved, and her gaze on Lin Mo was quite innocent.

"Really... that's all. So much has happened in the last few days. After finishing the last test paper yesterday, I stayed in the dormitory. The teacher sent someone to bring me back at noon today."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Lin Mo's brow twitched. "Which point?"

An Youyu frowned. "There were many people doing the test on Wednesday, but by Thursday I was the only one left."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo understood everything. "So, you spent the whole day listening to questions and did four practice tests, right?"

"Ah."

"Little Fish, congratulations."

"Congratulations to me?"

"Yes, you have successfully entered the national competition."

"is it?"

An Youyu was stunned. "I didn't know, how did you know?"
