As he entered the living room, he noticed his mother sitting on the sofa in a daze. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and walked over to sit down next to her.
According to the previous agreement, her mother was supposed to tell her about her trip to Liangshan when she was eight years old.
"Mom, are you waiting to keep your promise?"
Lin Shu glanced at her son, then looked up at the time, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Taking someone away took more than an hour? You're something else!"
Lin Mo smiled. "It's normal, it hasn't been that long."
"You didn't take advantage of the situation to bully the fish, did you?"
"Mom, why did I bully Xiaoyuer?"
"That's hard to say. After all, that girl Yu'er is like a deadly poison to a young boy like you."
"I don't deny that, Xiaoyuer is indeed very beautiful."
Lin Mo chimed in, "Even so, you should have faith in your son. No one knows better than you what kind of person he is, the son you raised."
"Besides, even if I had the will, I wouldn't have the guts; right now, Xiaoyuer and I are just ordinary classmates, at most good friends; nothing more."
Lin Shu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the deeper meaning in his son's words.
The huge weight on her heart finally lifted, and she asked with great curiosity, "What about after that?"
"after?"
Lin Mo smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Can't you be a little more direct?
Lin Shu complained, "At such a young age, you always speak so maturely and beat around the bush. Has your mother not been giving you any love or care lately?"
"Cough-cough-"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, "I've always felt my mother's love and care, so please don't give it to me anymore."
"Then let's speak properly."
Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but one thing is certain."
Lin Shura became intrigued. "Which point?"
Lin Mo suppressed his smile. "My relationship with Xiaoyuer will never change before the college entrance examination."
"Even if the King of Heaven himself came, we would still be classmates!"
Chapter 114 Past Events and Weekly Journal
"Even if the King of Heaven himself came, we would still be classmates!"
Lin Shu wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the deeper meaning in her son's words and teased him in a low voice, "Is it interesting to deceive yourself?"
"Who's deceiving themselves?"
Lin Mo's face was full of innocence, and he said calmly, "Mom, what I just said came from the bottom of my heart."
"A man's mouth is a liar!"
The brief exchange had allowed Lin Shu to guess her son's true thoughts, and her previous worries were gone.
Lin Mo chuckled softly and changed the subject, "Mom, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that I'm curious."
Lin Mo frowned. "I remember everything that happened when I was eight years old, but why do I have no recollection of the trip to Liangshan? Anyone would be curious about that."
Memories welled up in Lin Shu's eyes. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "Xiao Mo, I've already told you about this."
"When did you tell me?"
Meeting his son's questioning gaze, Lin Shu said seriously, "When we were in Liangshan."
Lin Mo tried hard to recall her conversation with her mother in Liangshan, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember her mother saying anything. "Mom, stop keeping me in suspense."
"The reason you don't remember your trip to Liangshan many years ago is because you're foolish."
The familiar words left Lin Mo speechless for a moment.
So that's what it meant after all...
"mom!"
Lin Mo sighed with great dissatisfaction, "If you don't want to tell me, just say so. Why keep calling me stupid?"
"Who doesn't want to tell you?"
Lin Shu pursed her lips. "Mom's words just now were unpleasant, but they were the truth."
"How is that a fact?"
Lin Mo was quite unconvinced. "Fine, since you say your son is stupid, please give a reasonable reason."
"You have no memory of your trip to Liangshan, most likely because you hit your head on a rock when you encountered a flash flood back then."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing his mother's explanation, Lin Mo was stunned, and then a look of deep surprise appeared in his eyes. "I bumped into a rock in Liangshan?"
"Yes, there was a lot of blood."
Lin Shu recalled the events of many years ago with lingering fear, saying, "Back then, you really scared your mother. Fortunately, you were taken to the hospital in time, so you didn't suffer any lasting effects."
Seeing that her mother didn't seem to be lying, Lin Mo tried hard to recall her memories from when she was eight years old, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't find any impression of Liangshan, and in the end she could only give up helplessly.
"Mom, please tell me what happened during your trip to Liangshan, and when you first met Xiaoyuer."
Lin Shu sorted through her memories, "Jingchuan was exceptionally hot that year, so Mom took you to Liangshan to escape the heat during the summer vacation. At that time, Liangshan was like a tourist attraction, and every family in the nearby villages would rent out their spare rooms."
"And the house I rented was Xiaoyuer's house."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed. "What a coincidence?"
"It's just such a coincidence; perhaps it's all part of God's plan."
Lin Shu's voice continued, "It's strange, I clearly saw Xiaoyuer and her mother-in-law, but after the flash flood ended, I couldn't remember what her mother-in-law looked like."
"It shouldn't be."
Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned. "You can't remember what Granny Xiaoyuer looks like? That shouldn't be the case. You should at least have a vague impression, right?"
"No."
Lin Shu shook her head, "I have no impression at all. I can't even remember the style of her clothes. I was curious about this for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out in the end, so I gave up."
Lin Mo found this result hard to accept.
He had originally planned to find some clues about Granny An Youyu from his mother, but he came up empty-handed.
But the established facts are before us, and we must accept them no matter how difficult they are to accept.
Lin Mo took a deep breath. "Mom, since we lived at Xiaoyuer's house back then, how did Xiaoyuer and I get along?"
"you?"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Shu smiled and winked mysteriously, "Want to guess?"
"A child? Still guessing?"
"What attitude?"
Seeing her son dare to roll his eyes at her, Lin Shu was instantly displeased and warned, "Xiao Mo, if you continue to be so unrestrained, Mom won't say anything more. Please correct your attitude!"
"cough--"
Lin Mo smiled sheepishly, his tone instantly changing 180 degrees, his expression full of flattery, "Mom, I was wrong."
There's no way around it; human strength is inevitable.
If you want to know what happened back then, you have to back down now.
"That's a more like it."
Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction, a look of admiration in her eyes, "During our trip to Liangshan, we stayed at Xiaoyuer's house for three days; during those three days, you and Xiaoyuer got along very well, and you often went to Liangshan to play together. As for what you played, Mom doesn't know."
"do not know?"
Lin Mo asked in confusion, "Why wouldn't you know?"
"nonsense!"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son. "I went to Liangshan to escape the summer heat, not to take care of the kids. In this sweltering weather, would I follow two little kids running around like this?"
Lin Mo's expression was strange. "Liangshan is so big, are you really that careless? What if something happens to your son or he encounters any danger? You'll lose your only good son."
"cut--"
Lin Shu responded nonchalantly, "So what if I lose it? My main account is banned, I can just create a new one, right?"
This answer is quite ruthless!
Lin Mosheng looked up and sighed helplessly. From childhood to adulthood, he had never really won an argument with his mother.
"Never mind what I said, you can continue."
"What else is there to say? That's all."
"..."
Lin Mo, unwilling to give up, suggested, "Mom, think about it again. Maybe you've missed something."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shu suddenly laughed, "Now that you've reminded me, I do remember something."
"Oh?"
Lin Mo's expression brightened. "What is it?"
"When I first saw Xiaoyuer that year, I thought about adopting her as my goddaughter. I didn't realize it back then, but I never thought it would come true many years later. Looking back now, it really is a twist of fate!"
Lin Mo's lips twitched. "That's it?"
"if not?"
"..."
