My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Wait!"

Chapter 162 No need to warm up before hitting you

The sound of footsteps rang out.

Lin Mo and An Youyu, who were reviewing their studies, both looked up towards the door and saw Zhao Tiantian dragging a reluctant Gu Fan into the classroom. They couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"What is this for?"

"do not know."

As soon as Lin Mo finished answering, he noticed Zhao Tiantian pulling Gu Fan toward the back of the classroom. He narrowed his eyes and guessed a possibility.

Before the two could speak, he put down his pen and asked, "Did you lose the bet?"

Zhao Tiantian looked surprised upon hearing this.

Gu Fan turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, "My luck... wasn't good, I lost."

Lin Mo wasn't surprised by the result. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he continued, "Did you crawl across the playground?"

Gu Fan blushed, "N-no."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo feigned surprise and asked, "Are you going to renege on your debt?"

"I……"

Gu Fan's face flushed, unsure how to explain.

Zhao Tiantian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up and explain what had happened on the playground.

After saying that, she stared helplessly at Lin Mo, "You and Gu Fan have such a good relationship, you definitely wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"

"wrong."

Lin Mo glanced at Zhao Tiantian indifferently and shook his head calmly, "What I like most is to stand by and watch someone die."

This unconventional way of chatting really surprised Zhao Tiantian. Her eyes widened, and it took her a while to finally manage to utter a sentence: "Disloyal!"

After venting her frustration, she turned to Gu Fan and gave him a helpless look. "Even Lin Mo doesn't care about you, so I don't have any good ideas. You can go back to the playground and crawl around."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan looked at Lin Mo pitifully.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, he sat down directly at Lin Mo's feet, grabbed Lin Mo's leg, and pleaded with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Brother Mo, you can't abandon me!"

"If I really do crawl around the track today, it won't even take until tomorrow. After school today, the whole school will be talking about it. How am I supposed to face everyone here after that?"

"Yo?"

Lin Mo slapped Gu Fan's hand impatiently, "Don't pull this on me. Where were you before? Did I try to persuade you before you made that bet with Jiang Xiao? Did you listen?"

"Who knew that kid was such a good basketball player? I thought..."

"You still think you can bully him, right?"

Before Gu Fan could finish speaking, Lin Mo blurted it out. Gu Fan scratched his head sheepishly, "Brother Mo, how did you know?"

Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him. "Can you stop treating people like idiots? If Jiang Xiaoruo wasn't confident, do you think he would take this bet with you?"

Gu Fan coughed lightly, "The bet's already been made, it's too late to talk about it now. Brother Mo, you should help your brother out."

At the same time, An Youyu tapped lightly on the table.

Hearing the noise, Lin Mo looked inside. "What's wrong?"

An Youyu glanced at Gu Fan on the ground, her face showing a hint of unspoken words.

Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled softly, "Say what you want to say, it's okay."

An Youyu nodded slightly, "I think... it's better if you don't help."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan was completely dumbfounded. "An Youyu, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I? Why can't I help you? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."

"Watch your words."

Lin Mo glared at Gu Fan, who gave an embarrassed smile and immediately became obedient.

An Youyu recalled Lin Mo's words from not long ago, and a hint of worry appeared deep in her eyes, "Since Jiang Xiao's basketball skills are so good, what if Lin Mo loses? Wouldn't he also have to face the corresponding punishment?"

Gu Fan denied it, saying, "Brother Mo's skills are better than mine, he shouldn't lose."

Nothing in this world is absolute.

An Youyu's voice was soft, yet irresistible.

Gu Fan opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly, his words carrying a deeper meaning, "Brother Mo, your relationship with An Youyu is really growing stronger every day, isn't it?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

An Youyu's cheeks flushed. "Let's just talk about the matter at hand. You lost the bet with Jiang Xiao, and Lin Mo stood up for you, but have you thought about what would have happened if he had lost?"

Gu Fan pondered for a moment, "That's true. Oh well, so be it if I lose face!"

After saying that, he stood up and gave Zhao Tiantian an apologetic smile, "Class Monitor Zhao, let's call it a day. I'll try my best not to provoke Jiang Xiao in the future."

Zhao Tiantian glanced at An Youyu, then at Lin Mo, feeling a pang of jealousy.

She could clearly sense that their relationship was growing closer, and a sense of crisis welled up inside her.

"Lin Mo, are you really not going to get away with this?"

"Tube."

Lin Mo put down his pen, stood up unhurriedly, and said, "Since Jiang Xiao wants to have a match with me, then I will grant his wish."

After saying that, he nodded to An Youyu, "We can't ignore this. Gu Fan is my brother. We can't just stand by and watch him lose face in front of so many people."

An Youyu paused for a moment, but didn't say anything more and continued reading her book.

Gu Fan smiled gratefully.

Lin Mo patted Gu Fan on the shoulder and walked outside.

Zhao Tiantian glanced at An Youyu, who was still sitting in her seat, and then left the classroom with the two of them.

As they went downstairs, Gu Fan looked back in confusion and nudged Lin Mo's shoulder. "Strange, why didn't An Youyu come with us? Brother Mo, do you think she's angry because you helped me?"

"will not."

Lin Mo smiled confidently and said in a low voice, "Just wait, she will definitely come."

Just as Gu Fan was about to speak, Zhao Tiantian's urging voice came from behind, "Can you two hurry up? Jiang Xiao only gave us ten minutes. Once that time is up, there won't be any time left to help."

"No need to rush."

Lin Mo continued walking slowly.

Gu Fan shrugged helplessly, not daring to urge Lin Mo like Zhao Tiantian had, and kept walking side by side with him.

When the three arrived at the playground, they saw Jiang Xiaozheng having a one-on-one match with Gao Hang, the captain of the basketball team from Class 1.

Reaching the edge of the crowd, Zhao Tiantian asked a girl from Class Two, "What happened? How did Jiang Xiao compare to Gao Hang?"

The girl explained in a low voice, "It seems that the students from Class 1 wanted to play the whole game, and Gao Hang wanted Jiang Xiao to give up the court. Jiang Xiao refused, and then the two of them started competing."

Lin Mo smiled enigmatically. "What's the score now?"

"9:2!"

"Who's 9?"

When Gu Fan asked this question, three pairs of eyes immediately turned to him.

Gu Fan looked embarrassed. "Why are you all looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"He didn't say anything wrong, but the question he asked was a bit silly."

Zhao Tiantian rolled her eyes at Gu Fan, annoyed. "Jiang Xiao's basketball skills are so good, do you think Gao Hang can take a big lead?"

"It seems to make sense."

"..."

Lin Mo found it amusing and looked towards the center of the arena.

It was Jiang Xiao's turn to attack, and his dazzling dribbling skills were quite a sight to behold.

He easily shook off Gao Hang with a fake move and quickly scored a layup.

Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at Gao Hang with disdain, "With this kind of skill, you're not even as good as that chubby guy in our class."

Gao Hang's face turned ashen. "You're just lucky!"

"lucky?"

Jiang Xiao noticed Lin Mo on the sidelines and refused to look at Gao Hang again.

Ignored, Gao Hang's face flushed red and then turned away sheepishly.

Jiang Xiao waved in the direction Lin Mo was, and Lin Mo didn't hesitate, walking through the crowd to stand in front of Jiang Xiao. "I heard you want to play basketball with me?"

Jiang Xiao took a step forward, leaned close to Lin Mo's ear, and whispered, "If we don't compete in basketball, what are we competing in? Fighting?"

Lin Mo laughed, "I can't beat you in a fight right now, but who knows what the future holds? Let's wait and see. How about a basketball game today? How do you want to play?"

Seeing that Lin Mo was not angry at all, Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. "Simple, one-on-one, five-on-one; as for the punishment, it's still the same, crawl around the playground once."

Lin Mo crossed his arms and asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing?"

"lose?"

Jiang Xiao smiled confidently, "There is indeed such a probability, but it is very small, almost non-existent. In the face of absolute strength, luck accounts for very little."

"That makes a lot of sense."

Lin Mo bowed, then changed the subject: "I'll say the same thing to you."

"agreed?"

"of course."

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't say I'm bullying you. I'll give you a few minutes to get a feel for the game."

Lin Mo didn't say anything. He took a few steps forward, bent down to pick up the basketball on the ground, and stood outside the three-point line. He casually dribbled the basketball a couple of times and then noticed An Youyu, who was late to the sidelines.
