The room was completely silent.

An Youyu slowly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Lin Shu who was still sleeping, her eyes filled with tenderness, and stared at him for a while before lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

Throughout the process, she was quite careful, afraid that making any noise would wake Lin Shu.

After getting dressed, she walked around the foot of the bed to Lin Shu's side, pulled the blanket up, and recalled Lin Shu kissing her in front of Lin Mo yesterday. The corners of her mouth involuntarily suppressed a smile.

Bending over and lowering one's head.

An Youyu kissed Lin Shu on the forehead, and like a child who had done something wrong, fled the scene of the crime immediately.

The moment the door closed, Lin Shu, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes and smiled, "Let this girl kiss me, what's there to be afraid of..."

The living room was dimly lit.

An Youyu wanted to drink some water, but as soon as she got closer to the coffee table, she saw a dark figure sitting on the sofa. Startled, she couldn't help but gasp. The next second, she realized that Lin Shu was still sleeping and quickly covered her mouth.

"Who, who?"

The dark figure slowly rose and walked towards them.

Upon getting closer, An Youyu finally saw the figure's face clearly, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her fist and gestured, "Lin Mo, are you trying to scare me to death? Sitting in the living room so early without turning on the lights, I thought..."

Lin Mo grabbed the girl's small hand and teased her with a half-smile, "What did I think? Did a thief break into the house?"

"if not?"

Feeling the warmth of Lin Mo's large hand, An Youyu recoiled as if she had been electrocuted, quickly pulling her hand back. "Why are you up so early?"

Lin Mo didn't answer. He turned around, turned on the light, sat back down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, and waved to the girl, "Come here, have some water."

"Oh."

An Youyu walked to the opposite side of Lin Mo and was about to sit down when she noticed Lin Mo's teasing eyes. She seemed to be frozen in place, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"nothing."

Lin Mo pushed the water glass towards the girl, crossed his legs, and said, "I just feel like you're pretty afraid of me."

"Who said that?"

An Youyu retorted defiantly, "I'm not afraid of you at all. Besides, I have no reason to be afraid of you. Why should I be afraid of you?"

Lin Mo shrugged. "Since you're not afraid of me, why are you sitting across from me? Can't I sit here?"

"This one……"

"Don't deny it, you're just afraid of me."

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid? Okay, then do you want to prove it?"

"Prove it then, I'm not afraid of you!"

With that, An Youyu picked up her water glass and drank it all in one gulp. She then walked around the coffee table and sat down to Lin Mo's left. "Does this count as proof?"

Lin Mo glanced at the nearly half-meter distance between the two of them, shook his head, and chuckled.

The meaning behind that smile was quite clear.

An Youyu was very unconvinced. After taking a deep breath, she moved a little closer to Lin Mo again. "Does this prove that I'm not afraid of you?"

Lin Mo subtly moved closer to the girl, so close that their arms touched.

An Youyu instinctively wanted to dodge, but before she could make any move, Lin Mo's voice rang in her ears.

"Not hiding is proof enough."

"Who...who's trying to hide?"

An Youyu's words carried a clear lack of confidence as she forced herself to reassure herself.

What are you afraid of?

So what if we're sitting a little closer? Lin Mo isn't going to eat us!

Despite the girl's fearlessness, her heart rate started racing uncontrollably, and her face flushed rapidly.

Seeing An Youyu blush, Lin Mo smiled and said, "It seems you're really not afraid of me. Fine, I misunderstood you. I apologize, An Xiaoyong."

"If you're brave, why add 'small' before it?"

An Youyu tilted her head, her hair partially obscuring her face, and muttered softly, "Youyu isn't little anymore, I'm an adult."

"Yes, you're eighteen now, you're an adult."

Lin Mo gave a perfunctory reply, then changed the subject, "It's just past six o'clock, why are you up so early?"

"I got up as soon as I woke up."

"Are you not used to sleeping here? Or is it my mom's snoring that's keeping you awake?"

Hearing this, An Youyu looked strange, glanced towards the bedroom, and whispered, "Auntie doesn't snore, and you're talking about her like that. Aren't you afraid Youyu will tell on her?"

"Do you know?"

"I……"

An Youyu looked up and met Lin Mo's deep gaze. She stammered, "I... I don't know how."

Lin Mo chuckled softly, gently stroking the girl's hair with his large hand. "That's more like it. A fish that doesn't tattle is a good fish."

Such an intimate gesture made An Youyu feel a little uncomfortable. She gently slapped Lin Mo's hand away and said, "I told you not to touch me. Also, don't always talk to me in this tone."

Lin Mo poked the girl's shoulder with his finger. "Explain yourself. What do you mean by 'that tone'? Was there something wrong with my tone?"

"Have!"

"what is the problem?"

An Youyu's eyes flashed with reproach as she softly accused, "You're only a few months older than me, yet you always act like an elder. Is that right?"

Lin Mo's smile deepened, and he denied it without batting an eye, saying, "When did I act like an elder? No, right?"

"cut--"

An Youyu scoffed, knowing she couldn't win an argument with Lin Mo over this, so she simply didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, she noticed Lin Mo's bloodshot eyes, frowned, and tentatively asked, "Didn't you sleep last night?"

"you guess."

"Lin Mo!"

"I said I said."

Seeing that the girl was a little angry, Lin Mo immediately backed down and admitted truthfully, "That's right, I really didn't sleep last night."

"why?"

"nothing."

Lin Mo answered casually, but An Youyu's concern did not diminish at all, "Staying up so late all the time will ruin your health..."

"Little fish."

"Ok?"

An Youyu blinked in confusion.

Lin Mo yawned. "There's something I need your help with, is that alright?"

"what's up?"

"Promise me first."

"When asking someone for help, who asks for the first answer?"

An Youyu pursed her lips. "Tell me what it is first, then I can decide whether to agree or not. If you ask me to pick stars for you, I can't agree to that."

The girl's serious joke successfully made Lin Mo laugh. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that outrageous. Hurry up and agree, I can't hold on much longer."

"You speak first……"

An Youyu stopped mid-sentence, staring dumbfounded at Lin Mo, who was resting his head on her lap. "What...what are you doing?"

Lin Mo closed his eyes. "I'm so sleepy, let me take a nap."

"I'll get you a cushion..."

"The cushion is too hard."

"..."

An Youyu was still thinking about how to refuse Lin Mo when she heard Lin Mo's soft snoring. Her little face was filled with tears, and she muttered in a barely audible voice, "How can this be? I clearly didn't agree..."

But she could feel Lin Mo's steady breathing and couldn't bear to wake him, so she had no choice but to accept it all.

Watching Lin Mo sleep up close, An Youyu secretly observed him for a long time, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Not as cute as before..."

Lin Mo's eyelashes fluttered; he wasn't asleep, it was all an act.

Hearing the girl's evaluation of him, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He didn't remember anything that happened when he was eight years old. He only knew some general details from his mother, but he knew nothing about his interactions with the girl.

We met when we were eight, and met again when we were eighteen.

Fate is truly wondrous. A fleeting glance in the vast sea of ​​people is called being destined to meet but not to be together, but he and An Youyu are clearly not like that. Their destiny has only just begun...

As it approached seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Shu prepared breakfast as usual. When she arrived in the living room, she froze on the spot.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and after confirming that what she was seeing was not a hallucination, she couldn't help but swear.

"Fuck——"

An Youyu, who was in a daze, quickly snapped back to reality, her face flushing red. She hurriedly explained, "Auntie, it's not what you think, Lin Mo, he... I..."

Lin Shu noticed the slight twitch at the corner of her son's mouth and had already guessed everything.

She looked away and walked toward the kitchen, muttering to herself, "I've been staying up too late lately, my eyesight isn't what it used to be; I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..."

Chapter 147 You Really Can't Beat Me

As Lin Mo heard his mother's footsteps fading into the distance, the corners of his mouth turned up wider and wider.
