An Youyu stood blankly on Qingyan Street, watching the people coming and going, the shouts of various vendors, and the aroma of various local snacks; she couldn't help but let out a gasp of amazement.

She had heard of Qingyan Street.

But I've never been here before...

She had expected it to be lively, but she hadn't imagined it would be this lively.

At this moment, she felt like someone who had been living in seclusion for many years had suddenly arrived in a bustling city, and a strange feeling was silently assaulting her senses.

"Don't be so surprised."

Lin Mo waved his left hand in front of An Youyu, "Hold on tight to me, or I won't be responsible if you get lost."

"No, no need..."

An Youyu wanted to refuse, but there were too many people around. After hesitating for a while, she grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve and said, "Don't overthink it, it's just because there are too many people."

Lin Mo chuckled inwardly and walked forward without showing any emotion. When he passed a stall where candied hawthorns were being made on the spot, he stopped and turned back to ask, "Want some?"

"I……"

An Youyu originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw those crystal-clear candied hawthorns, she couldn't help but swallow.

"Boss, two strings of candied hawthorns."

"Good."

The same thing happened again and again.

Lin Mo said he was asking, but he was just putting on a show. Every time he asked An Youyu if she wanted to eat, he would go back and buy some.

Before long, his hands were full of all kinds of snacks.

As for An Youyu, it was forced to accept Lin Mo's feeding, and it kept eating and eating from the moment it started eating candied hawthorns, unable to stop at all.

She couldn't stop eating, not because she was greedy, but because Lin Mo kept feeding her.

reject?

She tried, but the result was that Lin Mo threw the snacks she had just bought into the trash can...

Such a wasteful act left An Youyu with no choice but to comply.

"No, I really can't do it anymore."

They hadn't even walked halfway along Qingyan Street, which was over a kilometer long, when An Youyu gave up. She pulled Lin Mo to a corner of the street, looking up at him with a pitiful expression, "Don't make me eat anymore, aren't you afraid I'll stuff myself to death?"

The girl who took off her mask attracted the attention of many passersby.

Her flawless face, delicate temperament, and pure eyes all testified to the girl's unparalleled beauty.

Lin Mo took out a tissue and wiped An Youyu's lips, his eyes filled with doting affection. "Okay, then you won't eat anymore."

After wiping the girl's lips, he reminded her, "Sweetie, put on your mask."

That one word, "good girl," made An Youyu blush instantly, her eyes filled with a hint of shame and indignation. "If you're going to wear a mask, then wear a mask. Can you... please stop calling me that?"

Lin Mo didn't pick up on the topic, but instead chuckled and reminded her, "Little Fish, if you don't put on your mask soon, someone will come up to chat with you in less than a minute."

"Nonsense!"

"Little sister, can we add each other as friends on social networking?"

An Youyu had just finished refuting him a second ago when a voice rang out from behind them.

Two meters behind, a pretty woman stared at An Youyu with a smile, while Lin Mo was completely ignored by her.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's not strange that someone hits on you, what's strange is that the person hitting on you isn't a man...

An Youyu was stunned by how quickly she was proven wrong.

Lin Mo explained to the woman, "I'm sorry, my sister doesn't have a cell phone."

"No phone?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's answer, the woman paused, clearly somewhat surprised.

Just when Lin Mo thought she was going to give up, her voice rang out again, "How about I give my sister a cell phone? She's so pretty, I'd like to get her contact information."

"cough--"

Lin Mo stumbled and hurriedly refused, "No need. My sister doesn't have a phone not because she can't afford one, but because she's afraid a phone will affect her studies. I'm sorry."

They'd even give away a phone just for a contact number?

Most importantly, the other person is a girl...

In this situation, Lin Mo only had one thing to say.

Can you please stop being so outrageous?!

Upon hearing this, the woman looked disappointed, but then she seemed to remember something and asked Lin Mo, "Can I add you on WeChat? I'll add your sister after she buys her phone."

Lin Mo smirked, "I don't have a phone either."

The woman froze again, saying incredulously, "Really? I could believe you if you said my sister doesn't have a phone, since she's still young. But how old are you? How could you not have a phone? Even if you're going to refuse, you should at least come up with a decent reason!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face instantly darkened. "What do you mean, 'how old am I'? I'm the same age as my sister. Can't you speak properly?"

"what?"

The woman looked surprised and muttered under her breath, "You look way too old."

Lin Mo: "..."

If they weren't on the street, he would definitely have cursed at them on the spot!

After noticing Lin Mo's unfriendly gaze, the woman gave a resentful smile and reluctantly turned to leave.

Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively, "What kind of people are these? They're bad luck!"

As he spoke, he looked at An Youyu, who was secretly laughing, and asked her impatiently, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I didn't laugh."

Do I look old?

"It's... alright."

"..."

This answer left Lin Mo feeling quite frustrated. He couldn't help but touch his face, wondering to himself, "Am I really that old?"

Seeing this, An Youyu could no longer suppress her laughter and quickly put on her mask. The mask could cover her smile, but it could not hide her upturned eyebrows and laughter.

Seeing Lin Mo's gaze fall upon her, she quickly stopped smiling and changed the subject, saying, "You said something wrong just now."

"What?"

Meeting Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu awkwardly changed the subject, "A cell phone won't affect my studies. I... I don't have a cell phone because I can't afford one."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes into slits. "And then?"

"Then... could you please stop looking at me? I won't laugh."

Lin Mo glared at the girl, annoyed, and punched her on the head. "In the future, when people say I'm old, can you stand up and say something in my defense?"

An Youyu covered her head with her hands, her aggrieved eyes mixed with a barely perceptible smile.

"But that lady wasn't wrong, you do look a bit..."

Chapter 126 Inspiring Challenge

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

Seeing Lin Mo's increasingly unfriendly gaze, An Youyu lowered her head guiltily and kicked her feet restlessly. "Um...where do we go next?"

"I'm not going anywhere."

Lin Mo's eyes showed frustration. "Little Fish, where exactly am I old? You have to explain this clearly today, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I'll do next."

Faced with Lin Mo's threat, An Youyu, as always, chose to back down, secretly swallowing her saliva, and unconsciously pursing her lips, "I didn't say you look old, but you usually speak and act a little too mature, making people feel that you are not a young man who has just come of age..."

This is not unfounded.

Despite Lin Mo's mischievous behavior when facing Yan Shiming, she never saw the typical behavior of someone his age in him; he gave her the feeling of an older brother.

Even if it's a slick character, it's a composed one!

She's out of place among boys her age.

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Lin Mo asked, "Isn't maturity a good thing? At this age, there are both advantages and disadvantages. We should take the best and discard the worst; there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Yes."

Although these words sounded somewhat nonsensical, An Youyu did not refute them; in comparison, she didn't seem like someone her age.

Lacking any drive, timid and afraid of trouble!

To be honest, she hated this aspect of her personality and tried to change it, but with little success.

After trying a few times, she gave up.

If you're timid, then you're timid; if you're afraid of trouble, then you're afraid of trouble.

Forcing yourself to change your innate nature will only cause you pain!

After all, we are not born to perform perfection. The true meaning lies in doing what we believe to be of infinite value within the limited time we have!

Upon hearing the girl's reply, Lin Mo pursed his lips, and his depressed mood instantly improved.

With just over a month left until the college entrance examination and the restrictions about to be lifted, the most important thing now is to get closer to An Youyu.

For Lin Mo, spending his entire life as a classmate with this girl would be an extremely painful thing.

Although An Youyu's closed heart had opened a crack, it was still far from enough.

How can I bridge the gap between myself and this girl?

The moment this thought crossed Lin Mo's mind, the answer came instantly.

I have to watch a horror movie!

In an instant, Lin Mo rejected the idea in his mind.
