My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

His intuition told him that the two things must be inextricably linked.

"Fish, what's wrong?"

Hearing his mother's voice, Lin Mo looked up at An Youyu beside him in confusion.

The girl clutched her chest, her expression pained. "Auntie, I don't know either. Every time I learn about the history before the Lunar New Year, my heart races uncontrollably..."

"what?"

The mother and son looked at each other, bewildered.

Does learning about the history before the Chinese lunar calendar make your heart race?

What's the situation?

"Is it hard?"

Lin Mo's eyes were full of concern. "How about we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

An Youyu shook her head in refusal and gently poked Lin Mo's arm, "Don't worry, I'll be fine in a bit."

Seeing the girl's furrowed brows slowly relax, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, don't talk about pre-Lunar New Year history in front of Yu'er anymore."

"it is good."

Lin Shu gently stroked the girl's back. "Yu'er, Auntie will definitely be more careful in the future."

"It's not Auntie's fault, it's my problem."

To avoid making Lin Shu feel guilty, An Youyu took the initiative to change the subject, "Auntie, didn't you just say that there would be some changes to this year's college entrance examination? What exactly are the changes?"

Chapter 85 Dragon and Phoenix Ranking

"Yes, what changes?"

Lin Mo was also curious about this question, his eyes filled with doubt.

Lin Shu met their gazes and, unusually, revealed a serious expression. "After researching the history before the Lunar New Year, the Ministry of Education is preparing to emulate the ancient genius list and establish the Dragon and Phoenix List."

"The Dragon and Phoenix Ranking?"

Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even greater confusion.

Lin Shu continued to explain, "The Dragon and Phoenix List is a list that is divided into the Dragon List and the Phoenix List, which are for male and female students respectively, and each list includes the top twenty students in the college entrance examination."

"The top ten are the official members of the list, and the bottom ten are the reserve members; there will be three rounds of selection, and the top ten students in terms of overall performance will be the final members."

Lin Mo frowned again. "Mom, what are the benefits of becoming a member of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking?"

"do not know."

Lin Shu shook his head, "But since the higher authorities have set up this Dragon and Phoenix List, there must be a reason for it."

At this point, her eyes were full of teasing. "Xiao Mo, why are you so concerned? Although your grades are very good now, you are not qualified to enter the Dragon and Phoenix List. This is mainly for Yu'er to hear."

Lin Mo: "..."

It's heartbreaking as always!

An Youyu's eyes remained calm, showing no interest in what Lin Shu was saying.

She was rather timid and only wanted to go to school quietly and then earn money to support the orphanage.

She didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter.

Lin Shu was unaware of this, but Lin Mo knew it perfectly well. He kept observing An Youyu's expression, and when the girl's expression froze, the corners of his mouth subtly curled up.

No matter what changes occur in this life, this girl remains as serene as she was in her previous life.

"Gululu..."

Lin Mo's stomach growled in protest, successfully ending the chat session.

after dinner.

Lin Mo escorted An Youyu home.

Under the starry sky, the two walked side by side on the sidewalk.

An Youyu didn't say a word the whole way, keeping her head down and seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Mo did not break the tranquility and continued walking forward at the same pace as the girl.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, but there was no feeling of cold.

Outside the residential area, An Youyu stopped and looked up at Lin Mo, winking at him.

Lin Mo looked down into the girl's two jewel-like eyes, knowing she had something to say. He crossed his arms and leaned against the camphor tree trunk behind him. "Go ahead and say it."

"Huh? How did you know me..."

An Youyu was quite surprised, her blank expression carrying a hint of cuteness.

Lin Mo teased in a low voice, "When you're troubled, it's written all over your face. I'm not blind, of course I know."

An Youyu touched her face. "Really? I hid it very well..."

Lin Mo chuckled, "Whatever you choose, I will support you; follow your heart."

An Youyu's words, which she had been preparing all the way, were stuck in her throat.

After a long silence, she whispered, "Thank you."

"Silly girl."

"Don't call me silly girl, Youyu isn't silly."

Faced with An Youyu's protest, Lin Mo's smile gradually widened, and he raised his hands in surrender, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't call you that anymore, alright?"

"That's pretty much it..."

An Youyu twitched her nose and warned without any force, "You're not allowed to call me 'silly girl,' nor 'fish,' nor 'Teacher An,' nor... well, I haven't thought of the rest yet. I'll tell you when I do."

It was clearly a warning, but when she spoke it in her soft voice, it was as if a honey pot had been overturned, and even the air was filled with a faint sweetness.

"As ordered."

Faced with Lin Mo's antics, An Youyu's tightly taut face instantly broke down, and her eyes showed a hint of reproach, "Don't laugh it off, Youyu is very serious."

"I'm serious too."

Lin Mo pointed to his face, "But the law doesn't say you can't laugh when you're serious, right?"

"It seems to be the same..."

Halfway through her sentence, An Youyu realized what she meant, "You're just trying to fool me again. Anyway, you have to remember what I just said and don't do it again, or else I'll..."

Lin Mo stepped forward. "And what will you do?"

Bathed in the bright moonlight and the yellowish glow of the streetlights, his deep eyes, like black holes, forcefully tugged at An Youyu's heart.

Her cheeks began to heat up uncontrollably, her heart raced, and she turned her head away involuntarily. "I...I'm angry."

Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle at the soft voice. "Little Fish, can you be a little more forceful when you threaten someone?"

"Where...am I lacking in presence?"

The increasingly weak words made An Youyu feel a little ashamed of herself.

What are you afraid of?

So useless...

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Little Fish speaks with great force, I misspoke."

Sensing the teasing in Lin Mo's words, An Youyu angrily raised her fist, "Believe it or not, I'll hit you?"

"Fight if you want."

Lin Mo neither dodged nor avoided the question, and the teasing in his eyes gradually intensified.

"you……"

An Youyu lowered her fist. "I don't want to talk to you. I'm leaving."

Lin Mo watched the girl's departing figure and called out, "I've already asked for leave. We'll visit the dean tomorrow."

An Youyu paused, turned around, and asked, "Really?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

Lin Mo waved his hand, "Go to sleep early, I'll be waiting for you here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then be careful on your way back, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

…………

The next morning.

Lin Mo returned home drenched in sweat and immediately rushed into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I went out with the breakfast my mother had packed.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Mo arrived at An Youyu's door with practiced ease. Just as he was about to knock, the door opposite opened.

The woman, whom I had met once before, came out carrying a trash bag. When she saw Lin Mo, she reminded him with a half-smile, "Remember that there's a peephole on the door. Don't scold An-mei-mei without even knowing the facts, or I won't let you get away with it."

Lin Mo gave an awkward smile, "No."

After the woman came downstairs, his smile gradually turned bitter. He looked at the ridiculously small peephole on the iron gate and couldn't help but mutter a complaint: "Why install such a small peephole?"

"Knock Knock-"

The knocking sounded, and the iron gate opened just over ten seconds later.

An Youyu ran towards the bathroom, mumbling incoherently, "I'm brushing my teeth... wait..."

Lin Mo didn't mind. He went to the table, took out the breakfast items one by one, arranged them, and then sat down to wait patiently.

About four or five minutes later, An Youyu came out of the bathroom. Water droplets were still dripping from her hair on both sides of her face. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was full of charm. She was still wearing her school uniform.

Noticing this, Lin Mo asked, "Little Fish, why are you still wearing your school uniform today?"

"Can't I wear my school uniform today?"
