My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Shu quickly gathered her thoughts and instead of answering, asked, "Fish, can Auntie ask you a question?"

An Youyu nodded, "Of course, Auntie, please ask."

Lin Shu's eyes held a deeper meaning. "What is your relationship with Xiao Mo?"

This question clearly surprised An Youyu. After considering it for a moment, she replied, "I should say... good friends."

A triumphant smile flickered deep in Lin Shu's eyes as he followed the girl's words and posed a classic question.

Is it too much for good friends to hold hands?

Chapter 209 Even Mom knows this trick!

Is it too much for good friends to hold hands?

When An Youyu heard this familiar question, her jade lips parted slightly, and she stared blankly at Lin Shu beside her, her small face filled with disbelief.

Lin Shu blinked innocently, "Fish, why are you looking at Auntie like that? Is there something wrong with your question?"

An Youyu forced a smile, "N-no."

Lin Shu chuckled softly, "Then do you think it's excessive for good friends to hold hands?"

"Auntie, the baby fish thinks..."

"Not too much."

"..."

The same question, the same self-answered question.

For a moment, An Youyu had a strange feeling, as if the person in front of her was not Lin Shu, but Lin Mo.

Lin Shu took the girl's delicate hand and said earnestly, "Yu'er, holding hands is fine; compared to Western friends who hug or even kiss on the cheek when they meet, holding hands is a very normal behavior. As for you and Xiao Mo, it's perfectly normal, don't you think?"

"I, I think..."

An Youyu bit her lip, on the verge of tears, and after stammering for a few seconds, she murmured, "Maybe I'm being too sensitive."

The purpose is achieved.

Lin Shu's face was full of smiles. "It's okay, you'll get used to it. Remember to come to Auntie if you need anything in the future, and Auntie will definitely help you."

"Ah."

An Youyu bowed slightly, "I won't bother you any longer, Auntie. Youyu is going back now."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Lin Shu stood at the door, and after An Youyu returned to her room, the smile that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time burst out instantly, "Naive little fish! You're unlucky to have met us, mother and son."

As she spoke, her laughter grew even more unrestrained. She went to her son's room and knocked on the door.

"squeak--"

When Lin Mo, who had come to open the door, noticed the malicious smile on his mother's face, he immediately felt uneasy. "Mom, it's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Shu glanced at her son and said, "Why sleep so much while alive? You'll sleep forever after you die."

After saying that, he stepped into the room.

Lin Mo forced a smile, closed the door, and walked up to his mother with a stiff upper lip. "Mom, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lin Shu looked down at her recently done manicure and said, "Not really."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed her mother's manicure and asked, puzzled, "Mom, you seem to get manicures all the time, but you take them off so quickly."

"Getting my nails done is affecting my work."

"Then why are you still doing it?"

Seeing her son's puzzled look, Lin Shu pursed her lips and said, "Why else? It's because she's beautiful, of course!"

Lin Mo was speechless. "Don't you find it troublesome to keep going back and forth like this?"

Lin Shu twirled her fingers, “On the road to pursuing beauty, a woman’s determination exceeds your imagination; even if she can only be beautiful for a few hours, it is worth it.”

Lin Mo smiled wryly, "You came to see your son so late, not just to show off your new manicure, right?"

"No."

Lin Shu looked up at her son, a meaningful smile appearing on her face. "Xiao Mo, Yu'er went to my room just now."

One sentence sent a chill down Lin Mo's spine: "This little thing actually went to tattle?"

"What little thing?"

Lin Shu glared at him, annoyed. "You're only a few months older than Yu'er, what right do you have to call her 'little thing'?"

Without thinking, Lin Mo said, "She's short."

Lin Shu didn't want to argue too much about this issue, so she changed the subject: "Xiao Mo, do you know what the fish told me?"

"what?"

Although Lin Mo already had a guess in his mind, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Lin Shu was already used to her son's feigned ignorance. "Yu'er said that someone kept trying to hold her hand today."

For a moment, Lin Mo coughed incessantly, looking extremely embarrassed.

To be honest, he initially thought An Youyu was just saying it for the sake of saying it.

After all, An Youyu had said many times that she would complain to her mother, but it was just talk; she had never actually complained.

Who would have thought this girl was serious this time...

Lin Shu observed the changes in her son's expression, her smile growing wider, her tone full of teasing, "I remember someone saying before that he and Yu'er were just ordinary, normal, and simple classmates. What's going on now?"

"that……"

Lin Mo's face flushed red, a rare occurrence, and he tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Mom, it's not what you think. Xiaoyuer and I are good friends. Is it too much for good friends to hold hands?"

"Little Mo."

"Ok?"

"Mom knows this trick too."

"..."

Lin Mo was completely bewildered.

Lin Shu smiled knowingly and said, "Yu'er is timid, so take it slow and don't scare her."

He said this, then got up and left.

The sound of the door closing brought Lin Mo back to his senses, his expression extremely interesting.

Mother, this is...

Are you on his side now?

Can’t be wrong!

Judging from her mother's usual attitude towards An Youyu, she clearly considers her as...

Thinking of this, a familiar faint smile returned to Lin Mo's face. He went to the window and looked at the star-studded night sky.

Little Fish...

You have nowhere to run!

…………

Night slowly recedes, and daylight arrives.

A little after six in the morning, the sound of air being whistled through the air could be heard from the training ground behind the villa, which had been converted from a garden.

A dozen minutes later, when Duan Ya saw Lin Mo, who was drenched in sweat, he smiled with satisfaction.

The saying "diligence can make up for lack of talent" is especially apt when applied to martial arts.

At this moment, Lin Mo's eyes were focused, and the thin bamboo pole in his hand slid strangely in the air. His movements were crisp and clean, without any hesitation. He executed a set of sword techniques that Duan Ya called beginner level very smoothly.

After practicing over and over again, more than a dozen times, Lin Mo, exhausted, stopped, panting heavily. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked as if he had just climbed out of the water.

"Clap clap clap..."

Hearing the noise, Lin Mo noticed the cliff in front of the stone table in the corner, stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Master."

"Sit down and rest for a while."

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony. As soon as he sat down, Duan Ya's voice rang in his ears, "Put your martial arts training on hold for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned deeply. "Why?"

"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, so take some time to get into the right mindset."

Duan Ya tossed Lin Mo a towel and said, "Three days of hard work, all for this exam; of course, we must be cautious."

"it does not matter."

After learning about the cliff's considerations, Lin Mo explained with a smile, "Master, in the face of absolute strength, physical condition and such are all irrelevant."

Hearing Lin Mo's confident words, Duan Ya couldn't help but become interested. "Judging from your tone, your academic performance seems to be quite good?"

"is acceptable."

Lin Mo nodded calmly and without arrogance.

Duan Ya nodded secretly at his composure. "I vaguely heard your mother mention that you and An Ya are going to apply to Tsinghua University, right?"

"Correct."

"Are you confident?"

Lin Mo did not answer, but slowly raised his right hand and gestured.

This action left Duan Ya somewhat bewildered. "What does this mean?"

Lin Mo calmly replied, "Anyone with hands can do it."
