My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

It's... weird!

After thinking it over and over, Lin Mo didn't think it was his fault. He had clearly tried so hard, but he was still far behind An Youyu. It was a difference in talent.

wrong……

This is a system problem!

That's right, a useless system!

Not long after Lin Mo had this thought, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, saying only one word.

"six!"

Chapter 144 That depends on the amount of money.

"Little Fish, don't get too cocky."

Lin Mo ignored the system and looked at the girl with a jubilant expression, and couldn't help but laugh along. "You can beat me now, but that doesn't mean you can beat me in the future. I will take my revenge one day."

"welcome."

An Youyu clapped her hands happily and encouraged him confidently, "I believe you can beat me. Remember to try more often in the future. I'm always ready to play with you."

"..."

Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Lin Mo was helpless.

The gap is stark; there's no denying it!

During dinner, while serving the dishes, Lin Mo whispered to his mother, "Mom, why don't you let Xiaoyuer stay at home tonight?"

"Ok?"

Lin Shu's brows furrowed instantly as he looked his son up and down, his eyes filled with vigilance. "What are you trying to do, kid?"

Seeing her mother's guarded expression, Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. "What are you worried about? I let Xiaoyuer stay overnight just so it would be more convenient for them to go to school together tomorrow. She'll sleep with you tonight, it's not like..."

He coughed lightly at this point and didn't continue.

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow. "Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

"say what?"

On this issue, Lin Mo consciously pretended to be ignorant.

otherwise……

You could easily lose your life!

After silently wiping the kitchen counter clean, Lin Shu turned around and asked, "Xiao Mo, I've noticed you seem quite worried about Xiao Yu'er lately. Tell Mom the truth, is it because of that Jiang Xiao transfer student?"

"No."

Lin Mo shook his head in denial.

Lin Shu's eyes brimmed with curiosity. "Why is that? Can you tell Mom?"

Lin Mo scratched his head, collected his thoughts, and then joked in a rather relaxed tone, "Speaking of which, there's no specific reason. Lately, my son has been having the same dream a lot, and this dream... isn't a good one."

From the moment her son spoke, Lin Shu saw seriousness in his eyes and frowned: "Is it related to the fish?"

"Correct."

Lin Mo rarely showed a serious expression. "To be honest, I have been quite worried about Xiaoyuer lately. Although dreams are illusions, having the same dream repeatedly makes me uneasy. I can only try my best to avoid the situation in the dream."

Could you elaborate?

"Car accident."

Those two words silenced Lin Shu. She stared at her son for a long time, as if trying to see something.

Lin Mo met his gaze, his eyes filled with nothing but openness.

Suddenly, An Youyu's voice came from the doorway. She looked at the two people in the kitchen with a puzzled expression, "Auntie, Lin Mo; what's wrong with you two?"

"nothing."

The seriousness on Lin Mo's face vanished instantly, replaced by a familiar faint smile. He calmly carried the dishes out, saying, "What are you doing here? Time to eat."

An Youyu looked at Lin Shu, "Auntie, are you really alright?"

"fine."

In terms of acting skills, Lin Shu was even better than her son. The moment she heard the girl's question, her expression returned to normal. "What could this kid have to do with me? I was just a little annoyed with him and said something to him. But he actually dared to talk back to me. I was just thinking about whether to beat him up."

Lin Mo: "..."

Admittedly, he is still lacking in acting skills.

Even he, as the son, couldn't detect the slightest clue from his mother's expression.

An Youyu was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and gently slapped Lin Mo. "Auntie, you don't need to do it yourself, Youyu will do it for you."

This gesture made Lin Shu laugh. She went to the girl's side and took her hand, saying, "Okay, next time Auntie wants to beat up Xiao Mo, I'll let you do it."

An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo and weakly suggested, "It would be better to... hit him less..."

Hearing this, Lin Shu felt a teasing urge and leaned close to An Youyu's earlobe, "Yu'er, are you feeling sorry for her?"

"Feeling sorry for you? No, not at all!"

In an instant, An Youyu's fair cheeks seemed to be painted with a layer of red paint, staining her eyebrows and skin, especially her clear eyes, which seemed to be about to drip water.

Such a beautiful sight stunned not only Lin Mo, who was a boy, but even Lin Shu. After regaining her senses, the first thing she did was take out her phone and start snapping photos of the girl.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

An Youyu covered her face, feeling the burning heat on her skin, and her heart started racing again.

Lin Shu flipped through a few photos in the album, then set them as her wallpaper with satisfaction. "Let's eat, let's eat."

Lin Mo watched her mother's actions and snorted with great resentment.

He doesn't have a photo of An Youyu yet...

During the meal, Lin Shu kept picking up food for An Youyu, just like always.

Lin Mo, on the contrary, remained unmoved and ate his meal with his head down, deep in thought.

"Fish, if Auntie remembers correctly, you brought your schoolbag when you came this morning, right?"

"Yes, I brought it with me."

"Perfect, don't leave tonight."

Upon hearing Lin Shu's words, An Youyu instinctively wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to speak, Lin Shu's voice rang in her ears again.

"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I've been having trouble sleeping."

"Then... the juvenile fish won't leave."

Seeing that the girl agreed, Lin Shu smiled and said, "Come on, eat more. Auntie is going to raise the fish until it's plump and healthy."

"Gaining weight will make you less attractive."

"It's okay, my fish is so good-looking, it looks good even if it's a little chubby."

While speaking, Lin Shu continued to serve food to the girl, and only stopped when the girl's bowl was piled high with food.

An Youyu felt both helpless and touched, and said in a barely audible voice, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Mo looked up and saw that his mother had persuaded An Youyu with just a few words. The worry deep in his eyes was replaced by a smile.

The girl's every smile, every gesture, possesses a unique healing quality.

After the meal, Lin Mo took the initiative to clean up.

After finishing everything, he returned to his room to continue studying. Although he had lost to An Youyu more than thirty times today, he was not discouraged.

There's no way around it; An Youyu is a born prodigy. Even with a system as a cheat code, it's not something that can be done in a short time if he wants to catch up with such a genius with ordinary aptitude.

For him now, the most important thing is not how to surpass An Youyu, but to accumulate knowledge and skills day by day. When he reaches a critical point, he will naturally unleash his full potential and achieve success.

Although Lin Mo hadn't figured out how big the gap was between him and An Youyu, he had confirmed one thing through today's series of failures.

The gap between him and her is narrowing!

"Knock Knock-"

The sudden knocking on the door disturbed Lin Mo's thoughts, and he got up to open it.

Outside the door, An Youyu was wearing a feather-style nightgown. She was about the same size as Lin Shu, but a little thinner. The nightgown was a bit too big, making her look even more petite. Her hair was damp, and her face was slightly flushed.

In this scene, one is truly serene, as if adorned in a feathered robe, untouched by the peach and plum blossoms of the mortal world.

"Just finished showering?"

Lin Mo only dared to glance at her before lowering his head. His self-control, which he was so proud of, never worked in front of girls. To avoid losing his composure, not looking was the best option.

"Ah."

Seeing that Lin Mo kept his head down, An Youyu nudged his arm, puzzled. "Why aren't you looking at me? I just won some money from you during the day. You can't be angry with me for that. At worst... I'll just give the money back to you."

His last words were filled with reluctance.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she still said it.

Lin Mo looked up incredulously, her voice tinged with uncertainty, "What did you just say?"

An Youyu parted her lips slightly, "I said I'd just give you the money back. You were the one who wanted to gamble, and now you're unhappy about losing."

After saying that, she turned around to go back and get the money, but as soon as she turned around, her left hand was grabbed by a large hand. "What are you doing? I'm going to get the money..."

"Need not."

A genuine smile spread across Lin Mo's face. Regardless of whether the girl wanted it or not, he pulled her into the room and sat her down at the table. Meeting her questioning gaze, he asked gently, "Little Fish, that's over three thousand yuan. You little money-grubber, how could you be willing to return it to me?"

"To be honest, I really... am reluctant to part with it."

An Youyu slumped onto the table, her expression filled with helplessness, "But I don't want you to be unhappy, so compared to that, I still..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Even though she was rather slow to react in this regard, she still felt that the latter part of her statement was easy to misunderstand.

In the dim yellow light, Lin Mo's eyes were even more profound, and his hands, which had been hanging down, unconsciously clenched. "It seems that in Xiaoyuer's heart, I am more important than money."
