My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

These words sounded like a joke, but they actually concealed a very subtle and cautious probing.

An Youyu scribbled randomly on the table with her right pinky finger. After hearing Lin Mo's words, a sly glint appeared in the depths of her eyes. "You can't say that."

Lin Mo was taken aback. "But what you just said meant that I'm more important than money, didn't it?"

An Youyu looked up and met Lin Mo's gaze. She pursed her lips, held on for a few seconds, then looked away slightly and muttered something under her breath.

Although the voice was soft, Lin Mo heard it very clearly, and his expression was extremely interesting.

Seven characters...

"That depends on the price."

Chapter 145 Self-humiliation

"That depends on the price."

Lin Mo repeated the sentence, his nose almost crooked with anger. Just a second ago he was so moved, thinking that he was more important than money to this little thing, but the next second he fell into hell.

Slaps in the face often come so suddenly!

An Youyu was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter. Under Lin Mo's gaze, she nodded matter-of-factly, "That's right, if there's a lot of money, money is definitely more important."

"..."

At that moment, Lin Mo felt as if he had suffered a heart attack.

I can bear it, but it's incredibly uncomfortable.

An Youyu keenly sensed Lin Mo's change in mood, her puzzled eyes darting around. "What's wrong? This is the truth, can't I even tell the truth?"

Lin Mo completely shut himself off, closing his eyes helplessly. "Little Fish, sometimes we don't need to say so much."

Am I talkative?

An Youyu thought and thought but still couldn't understand Lin Mo's meaning. She blinked in confusion and asked, "You're acting a little strange. What's wrong?"

Lin Mo forced a smile. "Nothing."

After saying that, he took the initiative to change the subject, not wanting to argue about this sad topic any further. "Why are you looking for me so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"It's still early."

An Youyu pointed to the clock on the wall, "It's not even 8 p.m. yet. I'm usually still awake at this time. Auntie is reading in her room, and I'm a little bored, so I thought I'd come to your room to study for a while longer."

"alright."

Hearing this expected answer, Lin Mo sighed softly. While handing An Youyu her high school review materials, he asked again, unwilling to give up, "Little Yu'er, do you think... how much money is more important than me?"

An Youyu thought about it seriously, "It should be at least over three thousand."

Lin Mo gave a forced, insincere smile.

This is what I asked...

The only way to describe it is as 'bringing shame upon oneself'!

In the quiet night, only the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window could be heard.

Inside the room, An Youyu quietly flipped through the physics analysis book in her hands, a few strands of her hair falling down, obscuring most of her face.

Even so, the small portion that was exposed was absolutely stunning.

Lin Mo continued practicing problems as always. He didn't have An Youyu's accumulated knowledge or talent, so he could only form his mental memory by repeatedly practicing problems.

Little by little, we make progress gradually.

Time passed silently. After An Youyu finished reading the last page of the physics analysis, the stuffy air in the room made her fan herself with her hand. "It's so stuffy. Is it going to rain again?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should rain tonight."

As they were talking, Lin Mo put down his pen, got up and cracked the window open. The cool evening breeze rushed in and blew right onto the girl.

"Air conditioning is too dry; it's better to let in some natural airflow."

"Thank you."

An Youyu picked up the schoolbag hanging on the corner of the table, took out a worn-out textbook, and continued reading.

Lin Mo glanced at the textbook. Perhaps because the cover was too tattered, the girl had covered it with a book cover herself. Seeing that she was reading it with great interest, a completely different feeling from when she was reading the physics analysis earlier, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Little Fish, what are you looking at?"

"Textbook on Ancient Painting Restoration"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's question, An Youyu instinctively looked up, unaware that Lin Mo had already moved closer to her.

"boom--"

An Youyu's head made intimate contact with Lin Mo's chin. She clutched her head with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain. "What are you doing?"

Lin Mo wasn't much better off; his chin was even more vulnerable. "Sorry... Ouch! I didn't know you would suddenly look up. Does it hurt?"

An Youyu's lips pursed unconsciously, her eyes filled with resentment. "What do you think? Did you do it on purpose or intentionally?"

These words were the trap Lin Mo had set for her this morning at her house.

Now, she's using the same method to trap Lin Mo, a tactic known as "an eye for an eye."

Can……

The idea seemed appealing, but little did they know that Lin Mo wasn't fooled at all. He said with an innocent look on his face, "Little Fish, I didn't do it on purpose or intentionally. What happened just now was just an accident."

"Ugh?"

Not hearing the answer she expected, An Youyu puffed out her cheeks slightly, "You did this on purpose."

"Nonsense."

Lin Mo pursed his thin lips. "Why would I bump your head for no reason? Besides, what good would that do me?"

An Youyu curled her lip. "You must be trying to make me dumber because you lost too many times today and think you can't beat me in the future, right?"

Lin Mo chuckled at her words, then tapped her pert nose with his finger. "Everyone says it was just an accident, why are you starting to speculate about a conspiracy? I'm not the kind of person who can't accept defeat, don't think of me as so narrow-minded, okay?"

"I don't care, you hurt me anyway."

An Youyu's voice carried a subtle hint of coquettishness, a fact she herself was unaware of.

Lin Mo keenly noticed the girl's change and was quite moved. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time she had shown this attitude in front of him since he met her in this life, aside from the previous apologies.

Realizing this, a deep smile appeared in his eyes. "I was wrong, I apologize."

"Forgive you."

An Youyu didn't say anything more, and moved the book in front of her a little closer to Lin Mo, "I've basically finished reading the previous books, this is a new one."

As she spoke, she rubbed her still aching head, her brows furrowing slightly from time to time.

Seeing this, Lin Mo stood up and came behind her, placing his left hand on her shoulder and gently rubbing her head with his right hand, his voice tender, "Does it still hurt?"

Such intimate behavior made An Youyu a little flustered. "No, it doesn't hurt anymore, you don't need to rub it anymore."

Lin Mo didn't respond to that, his gaze falling on the tattered book. He chuckled and teased, "Little Fish, you call this new? It's so old it's practically worn out, the cover's gone."

"It's fine as long as it's watchable."

An Youyu answered softly, her cheeks already burning hot.

This stance didn't last long before Lin Mo stopped, as such an action was somewhat excessive given his current relationship with An Youyu.

He knows his limits!

The moment he stopped, he clearly felt the girl's tense body gradually relax. After sitting down again, he flipped through a few pages of the girl's book. "Is this also a university book?"

"Yes, this is a textbook for third-year students in the Department of Antiquities Conservation at Tsinghua University."

Noticing Lin Mo flipping through the book, An Youyu slapped his hand away. "Be careful. There's only one copy of this book and the previous ones. I got these books from the deputy librarian when I was working at the library. It cost me four weeks' wages. Don't break them."

"Payment for four weeks of labor?"

Upon learning of this situation, Lin Mo could only complain that the deputy curator was really good at business; to put it bluntly, he was a shrewd businessman who even cheated little girls out of their money.

A few tattered books would only be worth a few dollars if sold as scrap.

Even if it's a textbook from Tsinghua University, if it's this badly damaged, it still has no value.

Besides, the relevant information can be found online, yet this deputy curator still demanded four weeks' worth of wages from An Youyu, which is really a rip-off.

Seeing Lin Mo's unusual expression, An Youyu poked him with her little finger under the table, "Is something wrong?"

She regretted it as soon as she clicked it.

Her poking Lin Mo meant that Lin Mo could poke her back...

Lin Mo shook his head, not revealing his thoughts. "You just said this is a third-year textbook, but I remember you were looking at a second-year textbook before?"

"you are stupid."

"Ok?"

"After finishing the sophomore textbooks, isn't it time to start reading the junior textbooks?"

"..."

Lin Mosheng slapped his forehead in exasperation and threatened impatiently, "Little Fish, if you keep acting so disrespectfully, believe me, I'll..."

"What do you mean by disrespectful? You're only a few months older than me."

The girl's eyes were so clear that Lin Mo couldn't utter the threatening words to stop her. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he waved his hand resignedly, "I'm going back to doing my practice problems."

He seems to have no way to handle this little thing...

As it approached 10 p.m., An Youyu yawned, glanced at the clock on the wall, slowly got up, waved goodbye, and said, "It's time to sleep. Don't stay up too late, get some rest."

After the door closed, Lin Mo stopped writing, glanced at the date, and stood up by the window.

He stared blankly at the night, his hands behind his back gradually clenching. Even though he had experienced life and death, the thought of the past still made his eyes uncontrollably tense.

tomorrow……

It was the day An Youyu had her car accident in her previous life!
