My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"of course……"

Halfway through his sentence, Lin Mo realized something was amiss, his voice trailing off as he coughed awkwardly. "Mom, I'm still young and haven't thought about that much yet. Let's ask about this later."

Seeing that his son hadn't fallen for the trick, Lin Shu looked regretful.

We were so close to succeeding!

"Xiao Mo, you're an adult now. In the past, kids your age would have been married."

"Didn't you say that was in the past?"

"..."

Faced with her son's stubbornness, Lin Shu had no choice but to get up and walk towards the kitchen. "I'll go heat up the food again. You watch over the fish."

After his mother left, Lin Mo's gaze fell on An Youyu's little face again, and he murmured to himself, "There's no choice between two."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Youyu's eyelashes fluttered as she fell asleep. The next second, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a hint of lingering fear in her clear, bright eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, she quickly got up from the sofa, took his arm, and looked around warily.

Seeing this, Lin Mo guessed what was going on and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Ah."

For some reason, when An Youyu heard Lin Mo's voice, the panic in her heart quickly subsided as if she had encountered her nemesis.

Lin Mo's eyes showed heartache, and her voice became gentler, "Can you tell me about it?"

"This nightmare is a bit fantastical..."

"Ok?"

Lin Mo, who was already curious, was successfully piqued after hearing the girl's words. "Tell me about it."

An Youyu gathered her thoughts and said softly, "In my dream... so many people wanted to kill me. I kept running and running, but no matter where I ran, I couldn't escape them..."

"Don't think too much about it, dreams are all fake."

Lin Mo didn't think much of it and helped her slowly stand up. "Go wash your face first, it's time to eat soon."

"Have a meal?"

An Youyu belatedly looked out the window and realized it was pitch black outside. She quickly glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's past eight o'clock? Oh my god, how did I sleep for so long..."

"Um... have you eaten with your aunt?"

"Not yet, we're not very hungry."

An Youyu wasn't stupid, so she naturally didn't believe Lin Mo's excuse. She looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry for taking up your and Auntie's time."

"Silly girl."

Lin Mo looked displeased, raised his hand and pinched the girl's soft cheek. The smooth, delicate feel of her skin made him reluctant to let go, but he reminded her, "Don't be so formal in the future. My mom and I don't have anything to do, what time are we wasting?"

"Thank you."

After noticing Lin Mo's expression, An Youyu didn't say anything more. Touched, she obediently went to the bathroom to wash her face, and instantly became much more awake.

After stepping out of the bathroom, she saw Lin Shu busy at the dining table. She walked up behind her quietly and naturally hugged her waist. "Auntie must be starving, right?"

"Not hungry."

Lin Shu froze for a moment, then relaxed and turned to support An Youyu's shoulders. "Have you washed your hands?"

"Ah."

"Sit down and eat."

The atmosphere during dinner was quite warm, which made Lin Mo, who usually eats with gusto, slow down her eating, afraid that her wolfing down her food would spoil the pleasant atmosphere.

After the meal, Lin Shu took the initiative to say, "Yu'er, Auntie has already asked for leave for you and Xiao Mo for tomorrow."

"what?"

An Youyu blinked in surprise, "Taking leave? Why are you taking leave again?"

Lin Shu gave her son a look, wanting him to explain.

But Lin Mo pretended not to see it and continued to devour the leftovers on the table.

Lin Shu was quite angry about this, but faced with An Youyu's doubts, she had no choice but to tell a white lie, "Well... Auntie hasn't been feeling well lately, so I want to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. Xiao Mo hasn't had a check-up in a long time either, so I thought I'd take you with me."

"Physical examination?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu quickly realized what was happening and immediately looked at Lin Mo, "You told Auntie about what happened today?"

"whats the matter?"

"Playing dumb again!"

An Youyu pouted, her eyes filled with resentment, and her tone carried a hint of accusation, "Youyu isn't stupid. What a coincidence! You must have leaked the secret."

"Okay, it really is me."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Lin Mo simply nodded and admitted, "Little Fish, the way you looked today was really worrying. It's okay to go to the hospital for a checkup."

"correct."

Lin Shu smiled gently and took An Youyu's small hand. "Xiao Mo is right. Auntie is also very worried about your health. Let's go to the hospital for a full check-up tomorrow so that Xiao Mo and I can rest assured."

"Besides, there's no harm in doing this. It's best if there are no problems, but if there are, we can treat them in advance. So you can't refuse. Be a good girl and listen to me, okay?"

"Aunt……"

As soon as An Youyu spoke, Lin Mo interrupted, "The examination fee has already been paid, and there's no way to get a refund if you don't go."

An Youyu parted her lips slightly, and after a long while, she reluctantly nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go."

Seeing that the girl agreed, the Lin family mother and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mo got up and cleared away the dishes. "Mom, you take Xiaoyuer back to her room to rest. I can handle things here."

Before Lin Shu could agree, An Youyu spoke up first: "Really, it's not necessary. I'm fine now."

Afraid that the two wouldn't believe her, she deliberately pulled out a chair and jumped around in place under their gaze while she was talking.

Their adorable appearance made both mother and child burst into laughter.

An Youyu lowered her head shyly and explained weakly, "Youyu really didn't lie. I don't feel uncomfortable at all right now and I don't need to rest."

As she spoke, she walked up to Lin Shu, took her left hand, and looked at her index finger wrapped in a bandage. Her eyes filled with heartache. "It's Auntie who not only has her own things to do, but also has to prepare three meals a day for me and Lin Mo. She even injured her finger. You are the one who needs to rest."

"Oh? Fish, Auntie isn't tired..."

An Youyu ignored Lin Shu's words and pushed her towards the bedroom, saying as they walked, "Auntie, Youyu will be good and go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. You should also be good and go to rest."

"Can Auntie refuse?"

"No."

Lin Shu found the soft voice amusing and glanced at her son who was clearing the table. "Alright, alright, Auntie will go and rest, but Auntie has a request."

"The baby fish aren't leaving today."

"Ha ha--"

Lin Shu laughed and gave An Youyu a loving kiss on the cheek. "Congratulations, Yu'er, you've learned to answer questions quickly. Not bad, not bad."

When Lin Shu suddenly kissed her, An Youyu blinked blankly. When she came to her senses, Lin Shu was nowhere to be seen. As she turned around, she noticed Lin Mo, who looked utterly dejected.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing much, just a little depressed."

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh softly, "My mom is really going too far. She's always trying to take advantage of you. I have to talk to her about this sometime. She's such a grown woman, she doesn't act like an elder at all!"

An Youyu tilted her head. "Why do you say that? I think Auntie is very nice."

"I didn't say anything bad about her."

"then you……"

But she kissed you!

"Let's kiss then."

Seeing Lin Mo's indignant expression, An Youyu's doubts deepened. "Auntie is an elder, there's nothing wrong with her kissing me..."

"Of course not!"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Mo's face stiffened. "I haven't even..."

Chapter 167 I never expected you to be like this, Little Fish!

An Youyu looked puzzled. Seeing that Lin Mo had only said half of what he wanted to say, she asked curiously, "You haven't said anything yet?"

"cough--"

Lin Mo shook his head, "It's nothing. You go to my room and read first. I'll come over after I've finished tidying up."

The girl's intelligence is undeniably high.

However, her reaction time to certain things is truly worrying!

His intention was almost perfectly clear, but the girl just couldn't understand it...

"let me help you."

Afraid that Lin Mo would refuse, An Youyu quickly rolled up her sleeves, picked up a stack of plates, and went into the kitchen.

Lin Mo watched her retreating figure, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He wasn't actually against this kind of thing.

It's okay to feel sorry for someone, but excessive pity isn't necessarily a good thing. In fact, these kinds of details in life are often the most precious.

At least for Lin Mo, who has experienced loss, everything she has now is precious.

An Youyu washed, Lin Mo wiped.

The two worked together seamlessly, chatting as they washed.

It's more accurate to call it a question-and-answer session than a chat.
