"I'm not good at socializing, and the more I am, the more I need to overcome this weakness. I'm an adult now, and I have to learn to grow up."

Lin Mo surprisingly did not refute An Youyu's words. "Your thinking is correct. It is good to learn and grow, but if you encounter something that you can't handle or that is very distressing, don't try to bear it alone."

"You need to remember, I'm your partner. You can ask me for help. When things happen, we share the burden together. That's the point of being a partner, understand?"

"Ah."

An Youyu blinked, and as if she had thought of something, the blush on her cheeks suddenly deepened.

She leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder, her voice barely audible, "It seems you lied to me."

Lin Mo: "?"

What the hell?

Isn't the topic jumping around a bit too fast?

"I lied to you? No, when did I lie to you?"

"You said lovers and partners are different, but later I checked online and found that partners and lovers are clearly the same thing. Isn't that lying?"

"Cough-cough-"

For a moment, Lin Mo blushed, a rare occurrence for him.

Can you blame him?

He has lived two lives, that's true, but he's still a complete novice when it comes to relationships. Although he read a lot of theoretical knowledge in his previous life, without practice, theory is just theory.

This is the first time I've ever had the experience of fooling a girl and then having my lies exposed.

An Youyu also noticed the embarrassment on Lin Mo's face, and a hint of surprise flashed deep in her eyes.

Does this rascal ever feel embarrassed?

Thinking about it this way, the shyness surging in her heart eased a little, but she didn't know how to handle the relationship with her boyfriend, and judging from Lin Mo's reaction, he probably didn't know either.

The two sat there, and the atmosphere became awkward.

After a good three or four minutes, Lin Mo broke the silence with a cough, "Little Fish, so what is our relationship now?"

The questions were asked with extreme caution.

After asking the question, Lin Mo held his breath and waited for An Youyu's answer.

An Youyu's jade lips were half open.

This question stumped her.

At that moment, she would rather solve those epic-level math problems than face this seemingly unsolvable one.

Yes!

What is her relationship with Lin Mo now?

classmate?

good friend?

Or perhaps... an object?

The girl's brows furrowed, and her troubled expression made Lin Mo's heart ache. He gently put his arm around her shoulder and softly comforted her, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Let me know when you've figured it out."

"However, until you figure this out, let's remain a couple... okay?"

"Ah."

The heat that had just subsided on An Youyu's face returned.

Actually, she knew she shouldn't have said that, but she didn't know what was wrong with her. It was like she was possessed; she knew she shouldn't have, but she still did it.

She had promised her mother-in-law that she wouldn't find a boyfriend before finding her parents.

But for some reason, upon hearing Lin Mo's words, she didn't even hesitate and nodded as if possessed.

At this moment, her feelings can be best described in two words.

tangled.

However, her struggle did not last long, and she soon convinced herself.

She and Lin Mo were just dating, not in a romantic relationship. Dating and lover... are two different things.

Yes, they are two different things.

In this way, it won't be considered breaking my promise to my mother-in-law.

Hey, she's a genius...

Chapter 450 can't be wasted; it can be fed to the dogs.

The evening breeze, the sunset glow on the horizon, and the girl before me created a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Lin Mo stared at the girl's stunning profile, lost in thought.

Actually, he thought An Youyu would reject his words, since she already knew that a boyfriend and a lover were the same thing, and in this situation, no matter how you looked at it, she shouldn't continue to maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him.

Can……

She agreed.

An Youyu knew that Lin Mo was watching her, and the temperature on her face rose steadily.

At this point, the more she tried to explain, the less clear things became. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to play dead.

"Gululu..."

As the sun set, the two sat on the bench for a long time. Suddenly, the quiet atmosphere was broken by the sound of a stomach protesting.

Lin Mo smiled, "Hungry?"

"Ah."

Seeing that Lin Mo had skipped the topic of his partner, An Youyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.

Previously in the dormitory, Qi Yue gave her a lot of snacks, but because Lin Mo had told her not to eat food from strangers, she had to endure it.

"Eat at the school cafeteria or outside the school?"

"School cafeteria."

When Lin Mo gave her two choices, An Youyu chose the former without hesitation.

The reason is also very simple.

Eating at the school cafeteria is cheaper. Not long ago, she said she would treat Lin Mo to a meal. Although she was going to treat him, she would try to spend as little money as possible.

Anyway, as long as I'm full, that's fine.

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Mo instantly guessed the girl's little scheme and tapped her forehead in annoyance. "You really are a miser. Money is only allowed to come in and not go out with you, right?"

"Only allowed to enter, no allowed to leave?"

An Youyu blinked. "Hey, I like this."

Lin Mo: "..."

What does it mean to be proud of something instead of ashamed?

Here it is.

Lin Mo shook his head, not insisting.

For him, where to eat or what to eat are not important; what matters is whether there is fish around. As he once said, "A day without fish is a day without joy."

"Huh? Do you know where the cafeteria is?"

After walking for a few minutes, An Youyu suddenly asked a question, as she was completely unfamiliar with Xia Bei.

Lin Mo readily explained the route from where the two were to the cafeteria: "Go straight ahead, walk to the building in front of the teachers' office building, turn left, and then walk about 300 meters to reach the cafeteria."

An Youyu exclaimed, "Wow! How do you know so much about Xia Bei?"

Lin Mo nodded as a matter of course, "Before coming to Xiabei, I looked at the architectural plans of Xiabei campus."

An Youyu didn't hold back her praise, clapping her little hands quickly, "Amazing!"

The simple and unadorned praise sounded especially pleasant to Lin Mo. He glanced at the time and said, "It's already past six o'clock. The school cafeteria seems to close its food service windows at seven. If we don't go soon, we'll both go hungry."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu grabbed Lin Mo's hand and walked forward, muttering something as she went.

At first, Lin Mo didn't hear clearly, but after listening carefully, his eyes filled with deep affection.

The girl muttered only thirteen words: "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, you'll feel anxious if you skip a meal."

Lin Mo lagged behind An Youyu by half a step, letting her pull him forward. As he watched her swaying black hair behind her, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

The little fish... is so cute!

At 6:40 p.m., with only 20 minutes left before the food service window closed, Lin Mo and An Youyu successfully found the cafeteria.

Stepping into the cafeteria, there were very few people inside. Only a handful of teachers were eating in a corner, along with some students who had arrived early.

After filming the promotional video, Lin Mo and An Youyu did not change their clothes and were still wearing Xia Bei's school uniforms.

The moment the two appeared in the cafeteria, they were immediately met with a dozen pairs of eyes.

Of the dozen or so gazes, a dozen or so fell on An Youyu, while Lin Mo beside her was decisively ignored.

There's no way around it; her looks and charisma speak for themselves.

Regardless of gender, teacher or student, everyone's eyes flashed with amazement.

No one dislikes beautiful things.

"Wow, Lao Yan, what's this student's major? He's incredibly handsome!"

"You're asking me? I'm asking you too. But to be honest, she's really beautiful. If she just stood on the stage at the welcome party, she wouldn't have to do anything, and all the new boys in the class would go crazy for her."

"If this were my daughter, I guarantee there would be no more blond hair in the world."

"You're dreaming! Go back and look in the mirror. With your genes, how could you possibly have such a beautiful daughter?"

"Hey? Lao Yan, what are you doing with that fork? Why are you holding your hand up so high? Why are you pointing the fork at me...?"
