My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"you……"

An Youyu's eyes were filled with grievance. "I really don't know."

Lin Mo changed the subject: "I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

An Youyu's eyes flashed. "What?"

"Let's set a goal. Once I achieve it, you'll honestly answer the question of whether best friends can hold hands, okay?"

A triumphant smile flashed deep in Lin Mo's eyes. "For example, for the upcoming mock exams, you set a score. If I can achieve it, then you'd better answer truthfully."

To get fish to bite, you must not scare them.

An Youyu's gaze swept over Lin Mo, remaining silent for nearly a minute. "This suggestion... it seems you've already thought of it?"

"Yes."

Lin Mo did not hide it and readily admitted it.

An Youyu pouted, "Can I set any score I want?"

"can."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt there was a chance and quickly stated his position, "You can set the score however you want."

An Youyu, with her bright and beautiful eyes, said word by word: "700 points in the first mock exam, 720 points in the second mock exam, 740 points in the third mock exam; and... 745 points in the college entrance exam."

When Lin Mo heard the mock exam score, he was still smiling happily. However, as An Youyu announced the scores one by one, his smile gradually froze. Especially when he heard that he scored 745 points in the college entrance exam, his smile completely froze on his face.

"There's still a college entrance exam?"

Why can't we have a college entrance examination?

A faint smile appeared deep in An Youyu's eyes. "Don't I even have the right to add conditions? If it doesn't work, I won't accept your suggestion."

Lin Mo twitched the corner of his mouth. "Have you gone astray? It's not that I don't want you to add conditions, but this isn't how you add them. 745 points on the college entrance exam, why don't you let me fly to the heavens?"

"Can...you come up?"

"..."

Chapter 50 Hook

The atmosphere in the room was exceptionally quiet.

Lin Mo remained silent for a while, his thoughts racing.

Seeing that Lin Mo wasn't speaking, An Youyu thought he was angry and leaned closer, "Is it...?"

Lin Mo felt the heat near his ear and instinctively turned his head to look.

"Boom-"

Their heads collided.

With inertia, An Youyu leaned back.

But the stool she was sitting on had no backrest, and she instantly lost her balance, about to fall to the ground.

Lin Mo quickly pressed down on her legs to help her regain her balance. After regaining her senses, she felt the amazing softness in her hands, the smooth texture like milk.

To cover his embarrassment, he subtly withdrew his hand, saying, "Be careful, you almost fell."

An Youyu was still a little shaken, "It seems... you hit me..."

"cough!"

Lin Mo subtly changed the subject, "What were you trying to say just now?"

An Youyu's lips pursed unconsciously, and after more than ten seconds she spoke softly, "I want to ask you, did I set the score too high?"

"A little bit, indeed."

Lin Mo gave a wry smile. "Little Fish, you should know that scores are divided into levels. After your score reaches 600, you have to put in more effort to improve by ten points."

An Youyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "700 points in the first mock exam, 710 points in the second mock exam, 720 points in the third mock exam; 730 points in the college entrance exam, is that okay?"

"can."

Upon hearing the conditions offered by An Youyu, Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile.

He rested his chin on his left hand on the table, and placed his right little finger in front of An Youyu.

"Do, do what?"

This action left An Youyu puzzled.

Lin Mo grinned, "Of course it's a pinky promise, a pinky promise that will last a hundred years."

An Youyu pursed her lips. Faced with Lin Mo's childish behavior, she had no intention of refusing and timidly reached out her hand, "Actually, you don't have to do this. I'm not lying to you."

"That won't work."

Lin Mo hooked his little finger around An Youyu's and smiled as they completed the pinky promise ceremony, "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years!"

An Youyu's nose twitched slightly, but there was no further movement.

Lin Mo punched An Youyu on the head with his left fist. "What are you spacing out for? It's your turn to speak."

"what?"

An Youyu was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."

"It feels...so childish."

As soon as she spoke, An Youyu clearly sensed the change in Lin Mo's aura and hurriedly changed her words: "I'll talk, I'll talk."

She turned her head away, "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years."

Having achieved his goal, Lin Mo finally let An Youyu go.

The afternoon passed quickly.

As the tutoring progressed, Lin Mo's psychological journey went from surprise to shock, and finally to numbness.

No matter the subject, An Youyu was ridiculously good at it, an absolute prodigy; it seemed that no problem could stump this girl...

It was a little past five in the afternoon.

Lin Mo put down his pen, his eyes filled with amazement, "Little Fish, how did you learn that? Your skill level is just too high!"

An Youyu shook her head, "It's not that I'm good at it, it's just that these questions are too easy."

Her earnestness pierced Lin Mo's heart.

The questions were too easy?

If it were simple, why would he have found it so difficult?

An Youyu glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's getting late. Can we stop the tutoring here for today? I... I have study plans for tonight, so we can continue tomorrow."

She always habitually asks for other people's opinions.

Lin Mo felt both heartache and helplessness.

An Youyu grew up in an orphanage, and the habits she developed over time could not be changed in a short period of time; the only way to change them was through gradual persuasion.

"Of course, but you have to wait until you finish eating before you leave."

An Youyu shook her head slightly, "No, no."

Lin Mo said nothing, got up, opened the door and called out, "Mom, Xiaoyuer doesn't want to stay for dinner, can you persuade him?"

His words don't carry weight, but his mother's words always do.

An Youyu quickly went to the door and poked his waist with her little hand. "What are you doing? Why are you calling me 'Auntie'? I'm serious, I said I wouldn't stay..."

"Eat your meal before you leave."

Lin Shu appeared, and with a single sentence, An Youyu stopped talking abruptly. She helplessly cast a glance at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo chuckled and winked. "Go on?"

"..."

At Lin Shu's request, An Youyu, though reluctant, could not say anything more and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help with the work.

As soon as they went in, Lin Shu chased them out.

The young fish was also stubborn; it would be chased out and then go back in.

Then, they were kicked out again.

After repeating this several times, Lin Mo sat on the sofa and burst into laughter.

In the end, An Youyu couldn't persuade Lin Shu otherwise. She sat down opposite Lin Mo with her head drooping and muttered under her breath, "How can you eat without doing any work..."

"Yes, I have."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "That's just how it is in our family."

An Youyu pursed her lips, then realized something was off about Lin Mo's words.

Our family?

Her fair cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "You, you... don't talk nonsense."

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

We prepared too much food for lunch and couldn't finish it all. We can just reheat it and eat it.

Within ten minutes, the living room was filled with the aroma of food.

Dinner, unsurprisingly, turned into a feeding contest once again.

An Youyu stared blankly at the mountain of food piled up in her bowl, a long-lost warmth flowing through her heart. "Thank you, Auntie."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Mo quickly and silently said, "Thank you."

The meal was filled with joy and harmony.

After the meal, An Youyu quickly cleared away the dishes and ran to the kitchen to wash them.

Lin Shu tried everything to persuade her, but to no avail; he was almost ready to tie her up with a rope.
