An Youyu glanced silently to the side, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably, her voice barely audible, "So convoluted..."

Duan Ya's expression was extremely interesting. He patted Lin Shu on the shoulder and said, "Little Shu, I think I've figured it out. This kid's shamelessness is self-taught. It's really... utterly shameless!"

Lin Shu opened her mouth as if to speak, but after a long while, she nodded heavily, "Indeed shameless!"

Lin Mo: "..."

How is he shameless?

defamation!

This is absolutely blatant slander!!!

Chapter 213 I'm determined to hold this hand!

Noticing the change in Lin Mo's expression, Duan Ya gave him a disdainful look. "Kid, don't be so unconvinced. Even your mother admitted it. Do you still think you're innocent?"

"Of course they're innocent."

Lin Mo's self-righteous attitude made Duan Ya shake his head repeatedly, "Xiao Shu, your son's shamelessness far surpasses yours!"

Lin Shu's face stiffened instantly, and she glared at Duan Ya with annoyance. "Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then shut your mouth. This kid is shameless, why are you dragging me into this?"

Lin Mo raised his hand and patiently corrected, "Mom, Master, you can say whatever you want, but please don't frame me, okay? How have I been shameless?"

Lin Shu and Duan Ya exchanged a knowing glance and said in unison, "You're shameless in every way!"

"Cuckoo..."

Just then, a soft, sweet laugh rang out.

Lin Mo turned around and saw An Youyu squatting on the ground, snickering. He looked up and walked over to her. "Little Yu'er, you be the judge. Don't I have any shame?"

An Youyu bit her lip tightly and shook her head with difficulty, "At most... a little bit."

Lin Mo: "..."

A few meters away, Lin Shu and Duan Ya laughed when they saw this scene.

Lin Shu took the initiative to speak, "Xiao Mo, you and Yu'er can relax outside. Your master and I have some things to take care of. We must be home before dark. Be careful."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo's reply, she pulled Duan Ya into the car and drove away.

After the car drove out of the building, Duan Ya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously, "Xiao Shu, it's almost lunchtime, what's the rush?"

Lin Shu, who was driving, glanced at the cliff with a look of utter disdain.

Duan Ya felt annoyed. "What kind of look is that? Can't I just ask?"

As the car stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light, Lin Shu sighed, "Brother Duan, can't you be a little more perceptive?"

Duan Ya was dumbfounded. "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Duan Ya couldn't understand on his own, Lin Shu explained, "Brother Duan, there's really nothing wrong; I just said that to find an excuse to leave."

"Excuse?"

Duan Ya was even more puzzled. "I still don't quite understand. What is your purpose in doing this?"

Lin Shu sighed, "Xiao Mo and Yu'er finally get to go out and have some fun, what's the point of us following them around like this?"

"Giving the two little ones some alone time is good for their relationship; do you understand now?"

"Oh, oh! Oh~~~"

Duan Ya belatedly uttered three "ohs" in a row, then gave Lin Shu a strange look and said meaningfully, "It seems that An'er is doomed to meet you and your son!"

Lin Shu smiled but offered no explanation.

Doomed?

She likes this word!

...

In the underground parking garage, after the car disappeared from sight, An Youyu raised her small face, her eyes sparkling.

"Lin Mo."

"Ok?"

"I'm hungry."

As soon as she spoke, An Youyu's stomach rumbled, and a faint pink blush appeared on her fair skin. Embarrassed, she squatted down on the ground again.

Lin Mo laughed non-stop, leaned down and stretched out his hand in front of her, "Come on, let's go eat something delicious."

An Youyu looked at the large hand in front of her, her expression showing some hesitation, and weakly whispered a reminder: "This, this is outside, holding hands... is not good."

"What's wrong?"

"I……"

For a moment, An Youyu really couldn't find any reason. She turned her head away shyly, "I can't explain it, it's just not good."

"What's wrong?"

"..."

An Youyu took a deep breath, stood up, looked up at Lin Mo, and waved her little fist in the air, "Can't you ask a different question?"

"Change the question? Sure!"

A mischievous glint appeared in Lin Mo's eyes. He stepped forward, took the girl's soft, boneless hand, and raised it up. "We're good friends. Is it too much for good friends to hold hands?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this classic question, An Youyu pouted, her eyes shimmering with a hint of reproach, "Try...try another one."

She couldn't answer that question either.

Lin Mo took another half step forward. The two were now so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing. He leaned close to An Youyu's left ear and said, "Change one more time, little fish. You should understand the principle of 'don't do it three times.'"

"I'm determined to hold this hand!"

The heat of Lin Mo's breath on her neck made An Youyu tense up. She gently pushed him away and stammered, "Hand, hand... I'll hold yours, but don't get so close."

A triumphant smile rose deep in Lin Mo's eyes. "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

After saying that, he pulled An Youyu toward the elevator.

A little behind, An Youyu stared blankly at Lin Mo's delicate facial features, and couldn't help but recall what Lin Shu had whispered to her in the mobile phone store. She became more and more nervous, and in the end, even her palms became sweaty.

Lin Mo keenly noticed this, turned around, and was immediately startled.

The mask covered most of the girl's face, but even so, the exposed skin on her face was red, especially the watery look in her eyes, as if she might cry at any moment.

Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly let go of An Youyu's hand and apologized gently, "Little Yu'er, I was wrong; can't we stop holding hands? Don't cry."

Who said I was going to cry?

An Youyu blinked and pointed to her face. "I'm not going to cry, I'm just... just... a little nervous. It's okay, you hold my hand and let me get used to it."

After explaining, she lowered her voice a little, "Although Youyu felt that holding hands was a bit awkward, Auntie said the same thing as you. I guess I'm being too sensitive. I'll learn to overcome it."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo went from being cautious to being dumbfounded.

She was holding his hand?

This……

As expected of a mother, she's far more persuasive than him!

Lin Mo suppressed his excitement and grabbed the small hand that had just let go. The familiar soft touch came from his palm, and a smile returned to his face.

At the same time, he didn't forget to comfort her, saying, "Don't be nervous. You might not be used to it at first. Everything takes time to get used to."

An Youyu took a deep breath. "Yes, I know."

Their extremely obedient appearance made Lin Mo feel inexplicably guilty.

This behavior seems to be deceiving and exploiting young girls...

The idea had barely formed in his mind when Lin Mo quickly rejected it.

What nonsense about deceiving and exploiting young girls!

This is clearly a necessary process for advancing human civilization, that's right!

What is a master conman?

He's the kind of person who, when he gets ruthless, can even fool himself, and Lin Mo is that kind of person!

After taking the elevator to the first floor, the two walked straight out of the department store.

As soon as they arrived on the street, Lin Mo noticed the row of small restaurants across the street and pointed to one, "Little Fish, do you like eating at these hole-in-the-wall restaurants?"

After this brief respite, An Youyu's tension lessened slightly, and she replied without looking up, "I'm fine with anything."

Lin Mo immediately made a decision, "Then let's go eat at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant today. Although these places are not as high-end as fancy restaurants, they are hidden in plain sight, and many delicious foods are hidden in these small roadside eateries."

A gentle tone and a conversational style that constantly seeks out topics—no girl wouldn't like that.

Anyouyu is no exception.

She mustered her courage and slightly raised her chin, her eyes glazed over, "Lin Mo, you... talk too much."

After a few seconds of pause, the thousand words in her heart turned into the three words "talks too much." As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her words were ambiguous. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly.

Lin Mo understood An Youyu, and upon seeing her like this, he guessed her current thoughts and the meaning of the phrase "talks a lot".

He gently tapped her head with his left fist and said, "There can't be any awkward silences between two people, otherwise it'll be too embarrassing. One of them always has to talk more, and you can't count on that, so it's up to me..."

An Youyu lowered her eyes. "I...I didn't mean that. Being talkative...is a good thing..."

Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say.

Actually, there was something else he didn't say aloud.

She liked that Lin Mo was talkative...

He had so much to say to her...
