At this level, even the slightest improvement becomes incredibly difficult.
Before gaining +50 intelligence, Lin Mo did indeed feel that the rate of improvement was rapidly decreasing, but after gaining +50 intelligence, this constraint became virtually non-existent.
Yan Shiming assigned far too much homework, a full twenty sets of past exam papers for mathematics.
Even though Lin Mo was very fast at solving problems, it took him until after 5 a.m. to finish.
The moment he put down his pen, he felt dizzy and his hand felt like it was about to break.
He flopped onto the bed, and within half a minute, a soft snore filled the room.
I had only been asleep for about an hour when the quiet atmosphere was broken by a knock on the door.
Lin Mo arrived at the door in a daze, opened it weakly, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. "Mom, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer."
An Youyu's eyes were dazed, and the oversized pajamas made her look even smaller. "Lin, Lin Mo, Auntie asked me to wake you up, saying that if we leave too late, there will be traffic jams."
Lin Mo forced his eyes open, not surprised to see the girl so early in the morning.
Last night, he guessed that his mother wanted An Youyu to stay at home overnight.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have dragged her to my room to chat after dinner, let alone chatted for so long.
"I'm not eating breakfast. I went to bed too late last night. I'm going to take a nap. Just wake me up before we leave."
After saying that, he raised his hand and rubbed An Youyu's head, then turned around and lay down on the bed.
An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo on the bed and gently closed the door.
Just now, she saw Lin Mo's bloodshot eyes, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably heavy-hearted.
"Why work so hard? It's so stupid..."
An Youyu composed herself and went to the kitchen to help.
Lin Shu did not refuse, "Is Xiao Mo awake?"
"Not yet. He went to bed very late last night and said he wasn't going to eat breakfast."
An Youyu put down the vegetables she had just picked, mustered her courage, and pleaded, "Auntie, can Youyu ask you for a favor?"
"Ok?"
Lin Shu turned his head in confusion, then smiled and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why use the word 'ask'?"
An Youyu bit her lip lightly, "Lin Mo has been working really hard lately, could you... not put too much pressure on him?"
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"
“When I went to wake Lin Mo up just now, his eyes were frighteningly red, so he probably had just fallen asleep not long ago.”
An Youyu's eyes were filled with worry. "He's working too hard, but working like this isn't necessarily a good thing. Health is the foundation of everything."
Diligence can make up for lack of talent.
After hearing the girl's explanation, a hint of heartache flashed in Lin Shu's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. "Yu'er is so outstanding. If Xiao Mo wants to catch up with you, how can she not work hard?"
"Can……"
After hesitating for a long time, An Youyu finally voiced her question, "Why do you have to catch up with me? If you can't catch up, you don't have to."
"Not pursuing them? That's definitely not an option!"
An Youyu frowned. "Auntie, why can't it work?"
"Want to know?"
"miss you!"
"Fish, what Auntie is about to say is very serious, it's definitely not a joke."
An Youyu didn't understand why Lin Shu suddenly said that, and the doubt in her eyes grew even stronger.
Lin Shu put down the spatula, looked directly at An Youyu, and said with a meaningful look in her eyes, "If Xiao Mo can't catch up with you, Auntie will definitely break his legs!"
Chapter 99 The Same Recipe
"Why?"
An Youyu racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. She grabbed Lin Shu's arm with both hands and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me why?"
"because……"
Lin Shu paused, then affectionately pinched the girl's delicate nose, "Auntie likes to eat fish."
"Eat fish?"
An Youyu was stunned.
Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh at his blank stare. "Alright, I was just kidding. Go wipe the table, we'll eat right away."
"it is good."
An Youyu turned and walked out, muttering to herself, "What does eating fish have to do with chasing me?"
"Catch me?"
As she reached the kitchen doorway, she suddenly stopped, quickly turned around to look at Lin Shu, and her face flushed.
She must be overthinking it!
Lin Shu shook his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "How come this little girl has such a high IQ but such a low EQ?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh again, "That's good, they're so naive and easy to fool..."
After breakfast, Lin Shu checked her luggage to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Then she went to her son's room and saw his tired face even in his sleep. Her eyes filled with heartache.
She sat down by the bedside, gently stroking her son's face, and murmured to herself, "Xiao Mo, don't blame Mom for forcing you. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want something, you have to give something in return."
Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep, grabbed his mother's hand, and smiled through his bloodshot eyes, "Mom, your son has never blamed you."
Lin Shu was startled, and flicked her son's forehead in an annoyed tone, gently complaining, "Are you trying to scare me to death, you child?"
Lin Mo propped himself up and looked out the window at the rising sun in the east, a few strands of memories lingering in his deep eyes.
"Our current life is what our son has always dreamed of; there's no need to worry."
Lin Shu's eyes held a complex expression. "Long-cherished dream?"
For some reason, she has been feeling a faint sense of mystery about her son lately.
Maybe... I've really grown up!
Lin Mo looked away. "Mom, is everything ready?"
"All right."
Lin Shu stood up. "Go wash your face, then we'll get ready to leave."
"As ordered."
A dozen minutes later, Lin Mo stood side by side with An Youyu, pulling two suitcases, waiting for his mother to drive. While waiting, he also complained to the girl about his mother's previous behavior of raising her son in poverty.
An Youyu's eyebrows unconsciously arched upwards. "Alright, stop complaining."
"Not complaining? That won't do!"
Lin Mo said with a bitter face, "Little Fish, do you know how I've survived the past few decades?"
An Youyu tilted her head in confusion, "Decades?"
"cough!"
Lin Mo realized his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself, "More than ten years."
An Youyu didn't think much of it and comforted her with a smile, "Auntie is right. She's also a first-time mother and has no experience."
"..."
Lin Mo rolled his eyes and ruffled her hair in an annoyed manner.
An Youyu slapped away Lin Mo's mischievous hand, and while tidying her long hair, she asked with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes, "What are you doing?"
"You heartless little brat!"
"How am I heartless?"
"How could you be so heartless?"
"I have no idea……"
Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly. "At this time, shouldn't you be on my side condemning my mother's behavior?"
"Where should it be?"
An Youyu's eyes were filled with confusion. "Youyu should definitely speak up for Auntie. What's wrong with that?"
"I……"
Faced with the girl's self-righteous answer, Lin Mo felt helpless but also somewhat amused.
He quickly calmed himself down and teased in a low voice, "Little Fish, haven't I treated you well?"
"Ok?"
Meeting Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu's face flushed slightly, and she stammered, "You...you've been very good to me..."
"If that's the case, then why are you taking my mother's side and not mine?"
Lin Mo placed his hands on An Youyu's shoulders and gently shook her. "Tell me! What benefits did my mother give you?"
The thin fabric could not stop the warmth of Lin Mo's palms from spreading. Her heart raced instantly, and her fair face began to turn red at a visible speed.
Just then, the roar of a car engine sounded.
“chi…”
With a sudden stop, a stylish red sports car pulled up beside them.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Lin Shu glared at her son. "Let go of Yu'er. Don't touch her unless it's absolutely necessary, or you'll scare her."
Lin Mo reluctantly let go of her hand. "Mom, Xiaoyuer and I are classmates and deskmates, and she's even my tutor. It's normal for us to play around a little, right?"
Lin Shu unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked up to her son. "Xiao Mo, I'm still your mother, so it's normal for me to give you a beating, right?"
"..."
