An Youyu's question left Lin Mo speechless, so he awkwardly changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore; I'm going back to my room to study, want to come along?"

"You're so hardworking!"

Hearing that Lin Mo was going to study, An Youyu's eyes gleamed with admiration.

During the time she spent with Lin Mo, Lin Mo felt like a tireless machine. Apart from eating, sleeping, and teasing her, all he did was study, study, and study some more. He never wasted a single moment of his time.

An Youyu admired her perseverance. Because she was too full, she waved her hand weakly, "You go first, let me rest for a while. I'll feel uncomfortable if I sit for too long after eating too much."

Seeing that the girl said that, Lin Mo didn't force her. He gently instructed her, "You can do whatever you want, but you're not allowed to go out. If you really have to go out, remember to call me, okay?"

"Oh dear, the juvenile fish are not children anymore."

The mere mention of this made An Youyu angry. She stood up and went to Lin Mo, looking up at him who was a head taller than her, and deliberately put on a fierce expression as she accused him: "What you said today was very offensive!"

"What?"

"You're not my adult, and I'm not a child either; besides, we're clearly the same age, okay? Stop treating me like a child all the time. If you keep doing this, believe me, I'll tell Auntie on you?"

"Tell them a complaint? Go ahead."

Lin Mo smiled dismissively and turned to walk back to his room.

"Ugh?"

An Youyu was very dissatisfied with Lin Mo's reaction and quickly followed him into the room. "I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"I'm not kidding either."

"..."

After a moment of silence, An Youyu glared at Lin Mo angrily, "Aren't you afraid that if I tell Auntie, you'll get a beating?"

"What a joke, what's so scary about getting beaten up?"

Lin Mo, with a "what's the worst that could happen" attitude, explained nonchalantly, "From childhood to adulthood, I've been beaten more than you can imagine. One more or one less beating doesn't matter. If you want to complain, just tell my mom when she gets home from her busy schedule."

Finally, he added, "I wish you success."

Now, An Youyu was completely out of options.

She thought that complaining would scare Lin Mo, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

How to do?

There's no other way...

An Youyu stared at Lin Mo for a long time before finally collapsing onto Lin Mo's bed and pulling the blanket over her head.

"Go to sleep, and don't wake me up."

The little girl's sulking made Lin Mo laugh. After picking up the air conditioner remote and adjusting the temperature, he began his daily study plan.

Time flies, and by the time Lin Mo finished the second set of practice exams, it was already 5 p.m.

Looking back at the bed, she was tiny, and even though she was asleep, her small face, full of healing charm, was still breathtakingly beautiful. Her jade lips twitched occasionally, as if she were talking in her sleep.

Out of curiosity, Lin Mo quietly walked to the bedside, squatted down, and leaned his ear close to An Youyu's mouth.

"Lin Mo... is a bad guy, a super bad guy..."

When Lin Mo heard the girl calling his name in her dream, he was overjoyed. But before he could rejoice, the girl's next words plunged him into despair.

Bad guy?

Supervillain?

Co-authored…

Is this how he is in this girl's mind?

What a failure!

Feeling annoyed, Lin Mo pinched the girl's cheek and threatened in a barely audible voice, "Little thing, the worst is yet to come. You'd better watch out!"

An Youyu frowned slightly in her sleep, and waved her little hand unconsciously, "Don't pinch my cheeks."

Those five words sent a chill down Lin Mo's spine.

Is this girl pretending to be asleep?

But listening to her steady breathing, she didn't seem to be pretending to be asleep at all, and this girl couldn't possibly have such good acting skills.

By chance?

It should be!

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that the room was very cold. He pulled the blanket up for the girl and was about to go to the bathroom when he turned around and saw his mother leaning against the door frame, which startled him.

Lin Shu stared at her son with a half-smile, then glanced at An Youyu on the bed, made a gesture, and turned to walk towards the living room.

Lin Mo smacked his lips, realizing to himself that things were in trouble.

The little one slept in his room, and given that it had just been the two of them at home before, his mother, with her extremely gossipy nature, was bound to overthink things.

Thinking of this, he quickly left the room and saw his mother sitting calmly on the sofa. He forced himself to sit opposite her and took the initiative to explain, "Mom, it's not what you think. Xiaoyuer and I..."

"What I'm thinking? What do you mean?"

Lin Shu twitched her brow inexplicably, staring intently at her son for a moment, "Xiao Mo, what exactly do you mean?"

"Mom, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know you?"

"Hey, what do you mean by this? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, Mom won't let you get away with it."

As he spoke, Lin Shu also gestured with his fist, his expression full of threat.

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush and explained directly, "The situation is not what you see at all."

"After you left at noon, Xiaoyuer and I went to eat hot pot. She must have been tired from eating, because she was sleepy as soon as she got back, so she slept in my bed. We are absolutely innocent and did nothing. Please don't make wild guesses. I'm begging you, okay?"

After hearing her son's explanation, Lin Shu suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but sneer, "Didn't do anything? Xiao Mo, from what you're saying, it seems like you're planning something."

"Come on, talk to Mom properly, what do you want to do?"

"..."

Chapter 175 Life Ring Examination Report!

"I...I didn't mean to do anything..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mo felt that she had been tricked by her mother, and emphasized with tears in her eyes, "No, the key point is that Xiaoyuer and I really didn't do anything."

Lin Shu smiled knowingly and asked in return, "Did I say what you were doing? Xiao Mo, you look really guilty right now."

Lin Mo: "..."

What about the knife?

He doesn't want to live anymore!

Seeing her son's utterly dejected expression, Lin Shu chuckled to herself, "Alright, I was just teasing you. I raised you, okay? Don't I, as your mother, know my own son well?"

"Besides, even if you have lustful thoughts, knowing you as I do, you don't have the guts to do it."

"..."

Lin Mo blushed and quickly emphasized, "What are you saying? Xiaoyuer and I are just ordinary classmates. How could I have lustful thoughts about her?"

"Oh my, that's a lie...tsk tsk, even a ghost wouldn't believe it!"

Lin Shu looked at her son with considerable disdain, "Given Yu'er's appearance and temperament, any man would dare to say he doesn't like her; if you have no lustful thoughts towards her, then that can only mean one thing."

"what?"

"You're not a man!"

Lin Mo was embarrassed on the spot and complained in a low voice, "Mom, can you watch your words? How can you act like a mother like this?"

"Furthermore, can't there be a purely platonic friendship between men and women?"

Upon hearing her son's question, Lin Shu raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, "Do you think so?"

"Have!"

"Ah--"

"..."

Good heavens, this conversation has died again!

Seeing that his mother didn't seem to have thought much about it, Lin Mo didn't bother to dwell on the matter any further.

After all, the more you explain, the worse it gets!

Not to mention, he already had feelings for An Youyu...

"Are you done with your work?"

"Ah."

Lin Shu leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes wearily, and complained softly, "A bunch of grown men, not a single one of them is any good. Every time something goes wrong, I'm left to clean up the mess. I'm fed up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately perked up. This was a rare instance of his mother bringing up work on her own initiative. He subtly inquired, "That just proves how capable my mom is! By the way, how many people are in your company?"

"Not much, just..."

Lin Shu abruptly stopped mid-sentence, opening her eyes with annoyance. "Xiao Mo, you're getting smarter and smarter, aren't you? You're even setting traps for your mom now, aren't you?"

"Setting a trap? What do you mean? I don't understand."

Lin Mo would never admit to such a crucial question.

As long as he doesn't admit it, his mother has no evidence!

As long as there is no evidence, you won't get beaten up!

Lin Shu shook her head. "Don't try to get information out of me. When you fulfill our agreement, I will tell you everything even if you don't ask me."

Mentioning the agreement, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, "Mom, the agreement you made was really a bit... Getting into Tsinghua University is fine, but you added conditions without any sense of contract. Do you think that's fair to your son?"

"fair."

Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged. "Xiao Mo, please understand one thing: an agreement is a matter between two people. Mom didn't force you to accept this agreement. If you feel it's unfair, you can choose not to accept it."

"I……"
