My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

An Youyu was carrying a very small shoulder bag, which Lin Shu had bought for her before. After hearing Lin Mo's question, she unzipped the shoulder bag, took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed the phone to Lin Mo.

On the screen is the chat page between Lin Mo and Jiao Ke, with a message retraction notification at the bottom.

Lin Mo was stunned. "You saw the message?"

From the moment he sent the message to the moment he deleted it, the whole process only took two or three seconds. Logically, the girl shouldn't have been able to see it.

Thinking of this, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

Replying to messages instantly doesn't mean she likes you that much; it just means she likes playing on her phone.

But the girl's next words made Lin Mo immediately reject that statement.

An Youyu put her phone away and looked up at Lin Mo. "Yeah, I saw it. It's so boring in the dorm, so I was waiting for you to message me. I came out as soon as I saw the message."

Lin Mo asked in surprise, "You've been waiting for me to send you a message?"

"Ah."

An Youyu blinked. "Is it not allowed?"

Lin Mo ruffled the girl's hair with a complicated expression. "Are you silly?"

"You can also have your own social circle. Isn't there a girl named Qi Yue in your dorm? Spend more time interacting with others and learn to make the most of your time."

An Youyu looked down at the ground with a troubled expression. "I can't understand a lot of what Qi Yue is saying. You know I'm not good with words. There are no books to read in the dormitory. It's really boring."

Lin Mo's heart softened; sometimes, it really felt like she was raising a daughter.

She's still that kind of extremely obedient daughter, that feeling...

It's hard to describe in words, but I really enjoyed it.

Lin Mo joked with a smile, "Then I'll come to you often from now on. You can't find me annoying then."

"will not."

An Youyu's eyes sparkled with surprise. The next second, she hooked her left pinky finger with hers and extended it in front of Lin Mo, "Pinky promise."

Lin Mo's eyes shone with even more doting affection. He reached out his hand and made a promise with An Youyu: "Pinky promise."

An Youyu immediately replied, "One hundred years, no changes allowed."

This scene reminded Lin Mo of the first time he made a pinky promise with An Youyu, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I remember someone saying that pinky promises are childish."

"No, no, pinky promises are a very serious thing."

An Youyu blushed and looked to the side, her voice growing softer and softer, "Anyway... it definitely wasn't me who said it..."

"Liars are petty..."

"Wang!"

Seeing that there was no one around, An Youyu boldly raised her chin and said, "It wasn't me who said it, it wasn't."

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. "Little Fish, at least let me finish what I have to say, okay?"

"No, you're just saying that liars are dogs, right? I... I've already barked, what more do you want?"

"wrong."

Lin Mo waved his right index finger in front of An Youyu. "What I want to say is that the liar is the kitten."

"Ugh?"

Lin Mo's sudden change of heart left An Youyu stunned. After a few seconds of silence, she tentatively imitated a kitten's meow, "Meow~?"

"Hahahaha!"

The girl's adorable actions made Lin Mo burst into laughter. He grabbed her little hand and said, "You win."

An Youyu pouted her jade lips, looking both innocent and proud.

Regardless, it wasn't her who said it.

What's so childish about making a pinky promise?

……

Lin Mo and An Youyu walked into the office and saw Ke Renyi and Cao Lian sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing. They smiled and nodded, "Teacher Cao, you're even more handsome than yesterday."

Cao Lian: "..."

Seriously, even if you're going to flatter someone, can't you at least do it properly?

Only a fool would believe such nonsense!

Ke Renyi's white beard twitched. "Lin Mo, why didn't you say this when you came to see me earlier? Are you treating me differently?"

"cough--"

Lin Mo strode forward and grasped Ke Renyi's hand. "Principal, I grew up listening to stories about you."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu, standing behind Lin Mo, and Cao Lian, sitting opposite Ke Renyi, both smiled.

Ke Renyi's face stiffened. "I'm not saying this to be mean, but can't you say something different? You said this three times yesterday, and you're saying it again now?"

Lin Mo's eyes were sincere. "Principal, these are the students' heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no falsehood in them."

"Okay, this is what you said."

Ke Renyi withdrew his hand, slowly crossed his legs, and said, "Tell me about my deeds. I want to see what you can come up with."

Lin Mo cleared his throat, "Ke Renyi, Principal Xia Bei..."

"Under your leadership, Xia Bei University has risen from outside the top 100 to second place in just a few years. Many media people have commented that you are the most successful president of the Xia Li era, without exception."

Lin Mo spoke for four or five minutes straight before finally stopping.

The atmosphere in the office became quiet.

Ke Renyi's lips twitched.

You really know?

Cao Lian was also surprised.

Wasn't that flattery Lin Mo just spouting off without thinking?

A smile flickered deep in Lin Mo's eyes.

Just kidding, he specifically looked up Ke Renyi's personal information online before going to bed last night.

The first time, I was good at talking nonsense.

The second time, it is important to have everything in place.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now..."

"Lin Mo, why don't you tell me about my deeds?"

Before Ke Renyi could finish speaking, Cao Lian chimed in with great interest, "Didn't you say yesterday that you grew up listening to my stories?"

Lin Mo frowned, his face full of doubt. "Teacher Cao must be mistaken. I didn't say that."

Cao Lian: "?"

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that... there really wasn't one.

"I might be remembering it wrong."

"You must have remembered it wrong. Just because you might have remembered it wrong doesn't mean it's wrong. You have to be sure that you remembered it wrong to prove that you're wrong."

"..."

Is this conversation really that convoluted?

Actually, the main reason Lin Mo didn't use this tactic on Cao Lian was because Cao Lian wasn't the principal.

In the adult world, you always have to be flexible and adaptable to different people.

If Cao Lian knew what Lin Mo was thinking, he would be extremely depressed.

So, it's just because he's not good enough?

"Hello, Principal. Hello, Teacher Cao."

As soon as An Youyu spoke, Ke Renyi and Cao Lian's expressions softened at a visible speed.

Ke Renyi stood up. “Student An, you’ve come at the perfect time. The school’s promotional video has been completed. I called you here mainly to let you take a look. If you feel there’s anything that’s not good enough, we can make changes based on your feedback later.”

As he spoke, he walked to his desk, pulled out a chair, and gave An Youyu a look, signaling her to sit down.

An Youyu looked up at Lin Mo.

This little trick couldn't escape the eyes of Ke Renyi and Cao Lian, who were both amazed.

An Youyu said yesterday that Lin Mo is her spokesperson.

At the time, the two thought it was just a joke.

Who would have thought…

It turned out to be true!

No, what makes this kid so special?

"As expected of the principal, he truly cares about the students."

Lin Mo sighed, pushed An Youyu by the shoulder to the desk, and then swaggered down to sit down.

This action made Ke Renyi's eyebrows twitch, and he kicked Lin Mo's leg in annoyance, "Did I ask you to sit down?"

"I asked An Youyu to sit. In all my years, this is truly the first time I've encountered someone as presumptuous as you. Get out of the way."

Cao Lian, who had come along, also looked indignant and chimed in, "That's right, who told you to sit down?"

Lin Mo looked completely innocent. "The principal and Teacher Cao are really joking. In your hearts, you must treat all students equally. Such differential treatment would never happen to you, right?"

Ke Renyi: "..."

Cao Lian: "..."

Noticing their expressions, Lin Mo smiled and made some space, raising an eyebrow at An Youyu, "Come on, sit down and watch the promotional video."

An Youyu's cheeks flushed, and she gently rubbed Lin Mo's arm, her voice barely audible, "Don't, don't make a fuss, the principal and teachers are all here, you... I can just stand."
