My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

An Youyu's face instantly turned red. She tried to pull her hand back, but Lin Mo held it tightly. She tried several times but failed. "You, you... let go of me."

Lin Mo pretended not to hear, "Huh? What?"

An Youyu's lips pursed involuntarily. "You... clearly heard me."

Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of complaint mixed with shyness.

Lin Mo looked at An Youyu's increasingly red cheeks, released her hand, and said to himself, "So you wanted me to let go. Your voice was too soft just now, I didn't hear you clearly."

An Youyu weakly complained, "You're lying again..."

Lin Mo's pupils flashed. "What are you looking for?"

An Youyu's nose twitched. "I'm looking for a four-leaf clover necklace. I used to see it every time I came here, but I don't know where it went this time. I can't find it no matter how hard I look."

A four-leaf clover necklace?

The gears of fate are turning...

Chapter 46 I...I'm a little nervous

Lin Mo's expression was extremely complicated after learning that An Youyu was looking for the four-leaf clover necklace.

In his previous life, on the evening before the car accident, Lin Mo wanted to buy An Youyu a gift.

An Youyu declined many times, but in the end she couldn't persuade Lin Mo, so she brought him to this store and bought the four-leaf clover necklace.

outside the store.

Lin Mo put the necklace on her, and An Youyu blushed but did not refuse.

The moment An Youyu put on the necklace, she revealed a smile that Lin Mo had never seen before.

That smile was forever etched in Lin Mo's mind.

In the more than twenty years of numb life that followed, it was this smile that pulled him back from the brink of hell several times.

Hearing about the four-leaf clover necklace again from An Youyu's mouth, Lin Mo felt a sense of déjà vu, as if his fate was repeating itself. He clenched his hands, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

Fate may come in cycles, but tragedy must not be allowed to occur.

Lin Mo's voice carried a hint of determination, "I'll help you find it."

An Youyu was very perceptive and immediately noticed something. She looked up, her eyes filled with confusion, "What... is wrong?"

"nothing."

Lin Mo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and squatted down to quickly search for something.

An Youyu tilted her head, her eyes flickering, but she didn't ask anything more.

Perhaps Lin Mo made too much noise, because the proprietress's voice came from behind, "Be gentle when handling things, or you'll have to pay the original price if you break anything."

An Youyu stood up in a panic, "I'm sorry, we'll be more careful."

It was at this moment that Lin Mo stopped, and among the messy accessories, he saw the four-leaf clover necklace from his memory. Taking advantage of An Youyu's inattention, he quickly put it into his pocket.

"Little Fish, that necklace you mentioned has probably already been bought. How about we look at some others?"

"what?"

An Youyu turned her head, her eyes filled with disappointment. "I really like that necklace, but it's just too expensive. I've never been willing to buy it before. I was planning to buy it for my aunt today, but what a coincidence!"

A flicker of pity crossed Lin Mo's eyes, but it vanished in an instant before he regained his composure. "No need to bring my mother any gifts, just your presence is enough."

"No."

An Youyu shook her head, "It's very impolite to show up empty-handed; we must prepare a gift."

As she spoke, she opened the pocket of her school uniform jacket, revealing some change, both bills and coins. "I only have thirty-two yuan on me. Could you help me pick out a gift within that price range?"

Lin Mo frowned. "Where's the money I gave you yesterday?"

"It's been saved."

An Youyu blinked her eyes innocently, "Didn't you say I was your... piggy bank? I'll keep the money you give me safe and I definitely won't lose it."

Lin Mo spoke slowly, "Little Fish, you can spend that money..."

"No!"

An Youyu stubbornly shook her head and refused, "I promised to save it for you. If you keep doing this, I won't be your piggy bank anymore!"

The last word was emphasized, which also represented her attitude.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

He knew An Youyu well; she was timid, but once she made up her mind, no one could dissuade her.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't speak, An Youyu peeked out and said, "Are you angry? I'm sorry, but I really can't spend that money. I promised to give it to you as a piggy bank, and now you're doing this, I..."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

"Who told you I'm angry?"

Lin Mo raised his hand and rubbed An Youyu's head, who was looking down. "Apologizing all the time, aren't you stupid?"

Realizing that Lin Mo wasn't angry, An Youyu breathed a sigh of relief, then retorted, waving her hand to express her dissatisfaction, "I... I'm not stupid."

"Silly girl, still won't admit it?"

"I'm not stupid, my grades... are better than yours."

"..."

Lin Mo was speechless; he really didn't know how to refute those words.

An Youyu bit her lip lightly, "Um... I was just kidding, don't take it seriously, okay? Actually, you're very smart too."

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh, "Whether you're stupid or not, I can still call you silly girl. What's the conflict between the two?"

An Youyu pursed her lips, turned her head to the side, and deliberately avoided looking at Lin Mo.

This adorable gesture truly melted Lin Mo's heart. He stepped forward and approached An Youyu, saying, "Don't buy gifts here. There's a fruit shop at the entrance of our community. How about we just buy some fruit?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, An Youyu considered it for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Lin Mo walked around behind An Youyu, put his hands on her shoulders and led her to the store entrance. "Let's wait outside first. I'll check with the owner to make sure nothing is broken."

The lingering warmth on her shoulder made An Youyu feel shy. When she heard Lin Mo tell her to go out first, she ran out with a sigh of relief.

Through the curtain at the shop entrance, Lin Mo saw An Youyu run to the camphor tree by the roadside before taking out the four-leaf clover necklace from his pocket. "Boss, how much is this necklace?"

"thirty."

Lin Mo knew the price clearly, but hearing the number still caused a pang of pain in his heart.

The "very expensive" that An Youyu mentioned is thirty yuan!

"I want it."

……

"is it here?"

An Youyu, carrying a small basket of grapes, timidly pointed to the iron gate in front of her, her eyes glancing at Lin Mo again and again.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Little Fish, do you think I can mistake my own house for someone else's?"

An Youyu knew her question was silly, so she tightened her grip on the fruit basket. "I...I'm a little nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about? My mom isn't a monster, she's very easygoing."

More than an hour had passed since Lin Mo left home. Knowing that his mother was definitely home, he was too lazy to take out his keys and was about to knock on the door when a small hand grabbed his arm.

An Youyu stared at Lin Mo with pleading eyes, her voice tinged with apology, "I'm nervous, can you calm down a bit?"

"it is good."

Lin Mo lowered his raised hand again. "No rush, take your time; I'll knock when you're ready."

An Youyu nodded vigorously, and then began to take deep breaths.

As Lin Mo gazed at An Youyu's stunning profile, the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

Given An Youyu's shy nature, it's not surprising that he reacted this way.

The pause lasted for more than ten minutes.

Seeing that An Youyu was still taking deep breaths, Lin Mo's expression gradually changed.

Is this girl going to wait until dark?

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Lin Mo cough, An Youyu looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Little Fish, how long are you planning to take it easy?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu looked embarrassed and said, "Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."

She didn't want this to happen, but she was really nervous.

Right now, her palms were sweaty, and the thought of seeing Lin Mo's mother soon made her heart race.

Lin Mo slammed his left hand on An Youyu's head and knocked on the iron gate with his right hand.

"Ugh?"

An Youyu panicked, "Why...why are you knocking on the door?"

Lin Mo was amused by An Youyu's reaction. "If you don't knock on the door soon, I'm afraid I'll miss lunch."

"you……"

"squeak--"

Just as An Youyu was about to speak, she heard the sound of the door opening. Startled, she quickly lowered her head.

Lin Shu looked at An Youyu, whose face was mostly obscured by her hair, and gave her son a questioning look.

Lin Mo's lips moved slightly, lip-reading out two words: nervous.

Lin Shu smiled kindly, "You're Xiao Mo's classmate, right?"

"Correct."
