Occasionally, Lin Mo would tease An Youyu as a way to relax.

Basically, An Youyu would blush every time Lin Mo made her laugh, and she would keep warning Lin Mo not to make her laugh.

Unfortunately, her warning was to no avail; Lin Mo continued to do as he pleased.

In the evening, Lin Shu returned looking exhausted. After dinner, she informed her son and An Youyu before going to her room to rest alone.

After the meal, Lin Mo took the initiative to wash the dishes, and An Youyu silently helped with the cleanup.

The orange-red sunset shone as the two walked side by side.

An Youyu skipped lightly across the bluestone pavement of the sidewalk. When she was halfway there, she tilted her head and looked at Lin Mo on the outside. "Auntie seems very tired today. What does she do for a living?"

"do not know."

Lin Mo stopped and looked toward the distant horizon.

An Youyu stopped as well, and bathed in the soft light of the setting sun, her gentle demeanor seemed even more pronounced. "Are you kidding me? How could you not know what Auntie does for a living?"

Lin Mo suppressed his thoughts and looked at the girl. "Why would I lie to you about something like this? I really don't know what my mother does for a living."

An Youyu asked in confusion, "Then why don't you ask?"

Lin Mo looked up and gently tapped her on the head, saying in a low voice, "Little Fish, you're really naive!"

An Youyu protested softly at Lin Mo's actions, "How many times have I told you not to hit my head? Why can't you remember? What if I stop growing taller?"

Lin Mo slowly walked to a bench not far away and sat down, patting the seat next to him. "Come here."

An Youyu twitched her nose slightly and hummed in dissatisfaction.

After standing there for a few seconds, she slowly walked to the bench, sat down, and muttered an explanation, "It's not because I was listening to you, I'm just... tired, yes, tired!"

The explanation of "protesting too much" almost made Lin Mo burst out laughing.

Is it legal to sell cute things?

This little thing...

The evening breeze carried a cool feeling, and the treetops along the roadside swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Lin Mo rested his left hand on the back of the bench and secretly poked the girl's arm.

This action made An Youyu feel as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly distanced herself from Lin Mo, asking, "What... what are you doing?"

Lin Mo looked completely innocent. "What did I do? I just poked you!"

"With my consent?"

"Does this require your permission?"

"of course yes!"

An Youyu nodded heavily. "Men and women should not touch each other."

"Men and women should not touch each other?"

Lin Mo spread his hands and gestured, "Little Fish, if that's how you put it, then we'll have to have a serious talk."

"say what?"

"Did you poke me less before? Did you ask for my permission before you poked me?"

"I……"

An Youyu was speechless, hanging her head without any confidence.

Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry and didn't press the matter further. While waiting for the girl's answer, he also enjoyed the beauty of the sunset.

After a long while, An Youyu slowly raised her chin and weakly explained, "Um... I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."

"What should I pay attention to?"

"I won't poke you anymore."

"It's too late. You've poked me so many times, and now you think you can just wipe it all away with a single sentence? Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Lin Mo stood up and walked in front of the girl, his legs pressed against her calves. A teasing glint appeared in his deep eyes, and a wicked smile played on his lips. "Unless..."

As the deep voice drew out, his arms slowly opened.

The soft glow of the setting sun, the cool evening breeze, and her blushing face; silently outlining the contours of youth...

Chapter 137 The tug-of-war between mother and son!

"no!"

An Youyu knew exactly what Lin Mo meant, and her already flushed face grew even hotter.

Her rejection was entirely within Lin Mo's expectations. It was precisely because he knew the girl would refuse that he said those words.

If she refuses, then she is in the wrong!

A triumphant smile played on Lin Mo's eyes as he sat back down on the bench, patting the empty seat beside him. "Why are you sitting so far away? Come a little closer."

"I……"

"Ok?"

Seeing Lin Mo's stern face, An Youyu, who was about to refuse, stopped abruptly.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally moved a little closer to Lin Mo, but the two still maintained a distance of about half a meter between them.

Lin Mo's lips twitched, his eyes revealing helplessness.

The next second, he raised his hand and poked her arm under the girl's gaze, and then... poked it again.

He poked at it more than a dozen times before finally stopping, satisfied.

An Youyu felt rather helpless, and since she was in the wrong, she couldn't say anything.

Is it really that bad for friends to poke each other's arms?

"It's not..."

Lin Mo's question reached her ears, and An Youyu wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

Lin Mo leaned slightly towards the girl, raising an eyebrow. "Or are you saying you never considered me a friend at all?"

"No, it's not."

An Youyu shook her head in denial, and hurriedly explained, "I do consider you a friend, really!"

"That's pretty much it."

Seeing the girl's flustered state, Lin Mo couldn't bear to tease her any longer, and changed the subject: "Do you remember Jiang Xiao, the transfer student from the day before yesterday?"

"remember."

An Youyu looked surprised. "Why are you suddenly talking about him?"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of probing, "Little Fish, what's your impression of Jiang Xiao?"

"This one……"

"Just tell the truth."

"not too good."

An Youyu frowned as she recalled the scene when she saw Jiang Xiao in the teacher's office the day before yesterday. "I don't like the way he looks at me, and I don't like... his attitude towards you either."

After saying that, she quickly glanced around, stuck out her tongue slightly, and her guilty conscience was especially obvious.

Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled inwardly, "There's no one else here, is it really necessary to be so cautious?"

"The dean said that it is not the behavior of a gentleman to speak ill of others behind their backs."

"You're a girl, not a gentleman."

Faced with Lin Mo's unconventional way of understanding, An Youyu was somewhat speechless.

As the girl remained silent, Lin Mo's relaxed mood gradually tightened. This Jiang Xiao was clearly up to no good, and he had to be on guard in the coming days.

In his previous life, he had worked in the business world for many years and was well aware of the wickedness of human nature.

Better safe than sorry!

The two sat on a bench by the roadside for a while, and then Lin Mo took An Youyu back to her apartment complex. After he got home, he went straight to his mother's bedroom door.

"Knock Knock-"

"Knock Knock-"

I knocked on the door several times before there was any response from inside.

About half a minute later, the door opened.

Lin Shu leaned listlessly against the doorframe, glancing irritably at her son outside the door. "You know I'm asleep, yet you still insist on knocking and waking me up. So, what is it?"

Lin Mo pulled his mother into the room and gently massaged her shoulders.

Lin Shu teased with a half-smile, "Is this still my dear eldest son? Why is he suddenly so considerate of his mother?"

"Look at what you're saying! You're my mother. If your son doesn't care about you, who will?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "How's that strength?"

"good."

Lin Shu squinted. "Xiao Mo, stop being so helpful. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"More real than a needle!"

Hearing her son's certain tone, Lin Shu's smile deepened. "In that case, stop pressing it. Go back to your room and study. I'm going to continue sleeping."

"cough--"

Lin Mo's expression stiffened. "Um... my son suddenly remembered something, the day before yesterday..."

"Isn't everything alright?"
