"How despicable?"

Upon hearing the name, Lin Mo nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, the name reflects the person!"

Standing behind, An Youyu pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling with a smile.

The man swallowed hard. "I didn't expect Teacher Yan to still remember her student. But I have something to do today. I'll definitely come to the school to see you another day."

Yan Shiming remained unmoved and coldly reprimanded, "You didn't even get into university, yet you dare to come to No. 2 High School and flirt with girls?"

"It seems that your teacher didn't care enough for you back then. Today is the perfect opportunity, and I'll definitely make up for all the care I missed back then!"

After saying that, she pulled the man into the school, and the man's pleas for mercy could still be faintly heard.

"Teacher Yan, I promise I will never come to No. 2 Middle School to chat up female students again. Please let me go."

"late."

After the two had walked away, Lin Mo turned to look at An Youyu and asked, "Were you waiting for me?"

An Youyu hugged the ancient book tightly, her gaze drifting to the side, "N-no, it's not..."

Chapter 43 It's Not That I Won't Wait for You

"It's, it's not..."

The hesitant, halting tone made Lin Mo chuckle inwardly.

This girl probably hasn't realized her little habit of lying.

fair enough.

"Why don't you go home?"

"I...I...my legs hurt, yes, my legs hurt!"

"Are your feet sore?"

Under Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu felt guilty all over. "Can't I rest my legs when they're sore?"

"can."

Lin Mo shrugged. "Then you can rest for a while. I'm leaving now."

"Ugh?"

An Youyu parted her lips slightly, "I...I'm rested."

As she spoke, she walked forward with light steps, showing no sign of her legs aching.

After walking a few steps, she noticed that Lin Mo was standing still, so she stopped.

"Why don't you leave?"

Lin Mo stood where An Youyu had just been, leaned against the tree, and said, "I was going to walk away, but for some reason, my legs are a little sore. You go first, I'll rest for a while."

An Youyu was stunned, unsure whether to leave or stay, "Um..."

Lin Mo crossed his arms. "Anyway, they weren't waiting for me."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually speaking to An Youyu.

An Youyu paced back and forth, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

She had already made it clear that she wasn't waiting for Lin Mo, so it would be embarrassing for her to change her mind now.

Are you really not leaving?

"I'm not leaving, and no one is waiting for me."

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, An Youyu pouted.

She moved forward little by little, but the steps she took were ridiculously small.

Silent action speaks louder than words.

It's not that I'm not waiting for you!

One step, one centimeter at a time!

Seeing this, Lin Mo could no longer hold back, his eyes filled with laughter. He quickly caught up with An Youyu and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

An Youyu blinked, a hint of joy flashing across her eyes. "Your legs aren't sore anymore?"

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, "What good would it do to admit it and wait for me?"

An Youyu lowered her head and dared not utter a sound.

Lin Mo walked forward, his two fingers gripping An Youyu's sleeve. The way he swung his arms as he walked caused him to occasionally touch An Youyu's wrist.

An Youyu's face flushed, and she walked passively for a while before whispering a reminder: "Lin Mo, this is easy for people to misunderstand..."

Lin Mo stopped and asked the same question as before, "Were you waiting for me?"

"Yes."

Hearing An Youyu finally admit it, Lin Mo released her sleeve, bent down and leaned close to her earlobe, a sweet fragrance wafting into his nose, "Don't be stubborn anymore, understand?"

An Youyu lowered her head and said, "I... have something to ask you."

"Change the subject? Not bad, that's progress."

After giving a thumbs-up, Lin Mo walked forward slowly. "Are you wondering why I told Professor Yan about your university studies?"

An Youyu stepped on a bluestone brick, maintaining the same speed as Lin Mo.

Silence means consent.

Lin Mo was well aware of this, and his voice continued, "Little Fish, do you still remember when I asked you to tutor me?"

"remember."

Lin Mo was quite satisfied with An Youyu's answer.

He recounted his conversation with Yan Shiming in the corridor to An Youyu in its entirety, and explained why he wanted her to give it her all in the unified exam.

By the time they finished speaking, the two had already arrived outside the Baiyu residential area.

Lin Mo sighed, his mouth dry as he pursed his lips. "That's roughly the situation. Do you understand now?"

I didn't tell An Youyu these things before because I was afraid she would overthink it.

And now, the time is ripe.

An Youyu's eyes widened in surprise, her tone filled with uncertainty, "We...will be sitting together from now on?"

When she asked this question, her expression was extremely complicated.

Surprise, delight, unexpectedness, nervousness, and so on—it's a veritable melting pot.

"Sitting together, isn't that what sitting next to someone means?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "This matter was personally approved by Teacher Yan, so you have no choice but to accept it."

An Youyu remained silent, but paused in her steps.

Lin Mo handed her the backpack on his shoulder. "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock... never mind, nine o'clock then, I'll pick you up."

An Youyu tilted her head and tentatively asked, "Can I tutor you... for free?"

"No."

Lin Mo refused without hesitation.

She didn't want his money, but she gave him her entire fortune...

An Youyu frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, her expression cautious, "Then the tutoring... can we postpone it?"

"Slow down?"

Lin Mo frowned quickly. "You're not thinking of backing out, are you?"

"I have no intention of going back on my word."

An Youyu waved her hand and shook her head along with it.

The red ribbon binding her black hair came undone, strands of hair fluttering in the breeze, her cloud-like hair and misty tresses making everything around her a mere backdrop.

"If you don't want to back out, why wait?"

Lin Mo looked into the girl's eyes, trying to find the reason.

An Youyu clutched her schoolbag. "I want to work at the library this week. I can earn 100 yuan in two days. I... I want to make money as soon as possible."

Are you that short of money?

"No, no, once I've saved enough money, even if your stocks lose money, you won't have to... sell yourself..."

The gentle voice touched Lin Mo's soul, and his voice unconsciously softened, "Why do you still remember this? It was just a joke."

An Youyu raised her head, "No..."

His words were soft, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Lin Mo laughed, "Don't worry, not just anyone will let me sell myself. Of course, it depends on the person."

An Youyu panicked, especially when she saw Lin Mo's swirling eyes, which gave her an overwhelming shock. "I...I'm going back."

"and many more."

Lin Mo called out to An Youyu, "Tutor me tomorrow."

"Can……"

"No bargaining allowed."

Before An Youyu could finish speaking, Lin Mo interrupted, "That's it. Oh, by the way, you have two thousand yuan in your bag; the money you gave me was used to buy stocks; this two thousand yuan is the profit."

"Liar."

An Youyu doesn't understand stocks, but she's not stupid.

The money in the tin can is only a little over a thousand yuan. How could you possibly earn so much money in just one day?

Seeing An Youyu squat down and open her schoolbag, Lin Mo took off running. By the time An Youyu noticed, Lin Mo had already run dozens of meters away.

"you come back!"
