My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Around noon, Lin Shu returned home carrying large and small bags. As soon as she changed her shoes, she saw An Youyu coming out of her room and waving with a smile.

"Fish, has Xiao Mo been studying hard?"

"Have."

An Youyu skipped over to Lin Shu, her expression full of joy, and took the things from her hands. "Lin Mo is studying very hard."

"Oh?"

The girl's current appearance surprised Lin Shu, who tentatively asked, "Yu'er, why do you seem so happy? If you have anything happy to share, remember to tell me."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu quickly suppressed her smile and shook her head in denial, "No, nothing happy happened."

In one morning, she gambled with Lin Mo more than ten times, each time for 100 yuan, and won a total of more than 1,000 yuan. She dared not tell Lin Shu about this.

Lin Shu keenly noticed the fleeting panic on the girl's face, and a smile rose in her eyes. "Really not?"

"No, no."

An Youyu lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet Lin Shu's gaze.

Seeing this, Lin Shu's smile deepened, but she didn't ask any further questions. She changed the subject and said, "Auntie bought a lot of groceries today. I'll cook a big meal for you and Xiao Mo at noon."

"Feast?"

An Youyu then realized that the plastic bag in her hand contained various kinds of meat and seafood. She used to cook for herself and often went to the market, so she knew the prices of these vegetables very well.

She reached into her pocket with her left hand, took out two hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to Lin Shu, saying, "Auntie, I can't eat for free."

Lin Shu's smile vanished instantly. "What are you doing? Why are you being so formal with your aunt? Yu'er, this isn't a good habit of yours. Put the money away."

Seeing that Lin Shu was a little angry, An Youyu finally realized what was going on, her face flushed with anxiety. "Don't be angry, Youyu didn't mean anything by it, I just feel it's not right to keep eating and drinking here for free..."

What does "eating and drinking for free" mean?

Lin Shu, with a stern face, tapped the girl's delicate nose with annoyance, "You've been tutoring Xiao Mo so hard, can't Auntie make you something nice to treat you?"

“You know how bad Xiao Mo’s grades were before. If it weren’t for your help, with his talent, he definitely wouldn’t have achieved what he has now.”

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Mo had arrived unnoticed. After hearing his mother's assessment of him, he couldn't help but protest, "Mom, am I even your biological son? How can you be so harsh on your own son?"

Lin Shu looked embarrassed. "The truth is hard to hear, but it's the truth."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes: "Fine, you're right."

An Youyu glanced at Lin Shu, then looked back at Lin Mo, and whispered, "Auntie, Lin Mo's achievements today have little to do with me. It's mainly because he works hard enough. I didn't help him much."

"No, no, no, who said you didn't help me at all?"

Before Lin Shu could speak, Lin Mo interrupted to correct her, saying, "What my mother said just now may not have been pleasant to hear, but it was the truth."

"If you hadn't tutored me, I would never have achieved my current grades. So, don't feel bad about eating and drinking at my house for free. In fact, we're the ones who benefited."

At this point, he came up behind An Youyu, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently shook her while whispering a joke: "With Teacher An's teaching level, even the top gold medal teachers would be ashamed of themselves. With the current market price of tutors, my family has saved a lot of money."

The heat from Lin Mo's palm seeped through the girl's thin clothing and landed on her skin, instantly making her blush. She quickly moved aside.

"Nonsense, nonsense. I'm no match for a top-notch teacher. Don't flatter me to death."

"The results speak for themselves."

Lin Mo shrugged and smiled, “The result is that under Teacher An’s guidance, my grades have been soaring. I was second in the whole school in the last mock exam. Such great progress is nothing short of a miracle.”

"I……"

An Youyu and Lin Mo stared at each other for less than three seconds before shyly looking away, muttering softly, "It's clearly your own hard work, it really has nothing to do with me..."

"When I say there's a connection, then there's a connection."

"You... are being unreasonable."

"Yeah, I'm just being unreasonable, so what?"

"..."

Lin Shu leaned against the wall, watching everything with great interest. After the two finished bickering, she clicked her tongue, took two deep breaths, and muttered to herself, "Strange, why does it smell sour?"

Although she was talking to herself, her voice was by no means quiet.

An Youyu blinked, looking bewildered. "Sour?"

As she spoke, she sniffed a few times and asked in confusion, "Auntie, where's the sour smell? The baby fish didn't smell anything."

Compared to the girl, Lin Mo instantly understood the teasing in her mother's words, and changed the subject expressionlessly, "Mom, Xiaoyuer and I are hungry, so please stop chatting here and go cook."

Lin Shu smiled, humming a little tune as she walked towards the kitchen. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped, turned back, and winked at An Youyu. "Yu'er, you really listen to Xiao Mo."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen.

An Youyu stood there blankly, her whole body radiating helplessness.

Just then, Lin Mo leaned close to her ear and whispered comfortingly, "Don't pay attention to my mom, that's just how she is; just pretend you didn't hear her."

The hot breath near her ear startled An Youyu, who jumped aside as if she had been electrocuted.

Lin Mo quickly grabbed her left arm and teased her gently, "Why are you hiding? Am I that scary?"

"No, it's not."

An Youyu shook her head, "You're too close..."

Her soft-spoken explanation, coupled with her captivating beauty, brought a flood of smiles to Lin Mo's eyes as she once again uttered that classic deceptive phrase.

"Little Fish, aren't we good friends?"

"Yes."

Is it too much for good friends to live close to each other?

"But……"

An Youyu stammered, completely unable to think of a response.

Lin Mo sighed, feigning disappointment, and turned to sit on the sofa. "You weren't embarrassed when you won my money this morning, but now that we're a little closer, you act like this? Fine, you little ingrate!"

"I...this..."

At this moment, An Youyu had a different understanding of the phrase "he who takes a man's money is bound to be short-sighted".

If she had known this would happen, she would never have done it...

Forget it.

It's over a thousand yuan, so I guess I'll have to accept it!

Thinking of this, An Youyu timidly sat down opposite Lin Mo. Just as she was about to sit down, she seemed to remember something, walked around the coffee table and sat to Lin Mo's left. She tilted her head and stole a glance at Lin Mo before quickly straightening her body.

"Angry?"

"you guess."

"You... Young Fish isn't a child anymore. You expect me to guess about this? Tell me, are you angry?"

"Yes, I'm angry."

Lin Mo moved to the right and said in a sanctimonious tone, "Don't you think I'm too close to you? Fine, then let's keep our distance as much as possible from now on."

"me……"

Faced with the situation, An Youyu was at a loss for what to do. After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and moved closer to Lin Mo. "I was wrong just now. I suddenly realized... the distance between us wasn't that close."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo almost broke down on the spot, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably. However, he remained calm on the surface, his tone extremely indifferent, carrying a sense of unfamiliarity that kept people at a distance.

"No, that's not what you just said; and don't change your mind just because I'm angry. If my mom finds out about this, she'll probably think I'm threatening you, and I won't take the blame for that."

"I was wrong."

Lin Mo's coldness made An Youyu increasingly flustered. Feeling helpless, she grabbed Lin Mo's hand and said, "Youyu really didn't mean anything by it. Don't be angry, okay? I won't hide anymore."

When Lin Mo heard the answer he wanted to hear, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

With the goal achieved, the next step is to find a way to save face.

Steps...

"cough--"

"Little Fish, what have I taught you before?"

"what?"

The sudden question startled An Youyu for a few seconds as she desperately tried to recall what she had been asked.

Soon, a brilliant light shone in her eyes.

Right, why did you forget that move?

So stupid!

After suppressing her thoughts, she grabbed Lin Mo's sleeves with both hands and shook them gently. Her signature soft voice rang out, "Please, don't be angry anymore. Youyu knows she was wrong."

The smile on Lin Mo's lips widened rapidly. "Not sincere enough. Let's try again."

An Youyu was completely bewildered. "Not sincere enough? No..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mo's voice rang out again, his tone carrying an extremely subtle smile, "You can try softening your tone a bit more."

"Softer?"

An Youyu nodded as if she understood, her soft voice now carrying a touch of sweetness, "Please, don't be angry anymore."

Naturally delicate and alluring, yet captivating and seductive!

Chapter 143 Lin Da is cunning!

"hiss--"

Lin Mo gasped and closed his eyes, not daring to look.

This girl is so silly, doesn't she even try to fight back?

I can’t stand it!

An Youyu's eyes sparkled like two obsidian stones, her long eyelashes fluttering. "Isn't my attitude sincere enough? Then I'll try again..."
