An Youyu bit her lip. "What are you laughing at? I'm very serious."

From childhood to adulthood, apart from the dean, she had never experienced this feeling of being cared for.

But ever since she met Lin Shu, Lin Shu has been giving her clothes and cooking delicious food for her. Now, she even has Lin Mo bring her breakfast every day.

The phrase "overwhelmed with gratitude" perfectly describes her current feelings.

"Ah."

Hearing Lin Mo's indifferent response, An Youyu felt a slight sense of disappointment, but she dared not show it at all. "You agree?"

"No."

"what?"

Meeting An Youyu's puzzled gaze, Lin Mo replied expressionlessly, "It's no use telling me this. If you don't want my mom to make you breakfast, go talk to her yourself."

"I...I dare not..."

"Do I dare?"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes, adding a slightly exaggerated tone to his voice, "It seems you still don't quite understand my mom. If I were to complain about her sending me breakfast, she'd beat me to death!"

He paused slightly, his gaze questioning, "Little Fish, we have no grudge against each other, why did you try to harm me?"

"I……"

An Youyu was speechless.

After a long while, she hung her head dejectedly, saying, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Lin Mo's eyes were filled with a smile. "Since you didn't say anything, then come and eat obediently."

"Oh."

Under Lin Mo's watchful eye, An Youyu was forced to become a feeding machine.

Unfortunately, her combat strength was so poor that it was beyond redemption, and in the end, Lin Mo had no choice but to finish off the remaining food.

After Lin Mo finished eating, An Youyu quickly grabbed the lunchbox and ran to the kitchen to wash it clean.

Outside the residential area, on the sidewalk.

"Lin Mo, slow down, I can't keep up."

Lin Mo stopped, a hint of surprise in his expression. "Little Fish, am I walking slowly?"

An Youyu lowered her head shyly, "I...I ate too much."

Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly as he slowed his pace and walked alongside An Youyu, looking her up and down.

An Youyu noticed Lin Mo's gaze, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Where's the dress my mom gave you?" Lin Mo asked bluntly. "Why aren't you wearing it?"

"too expensive."

An Youyu replied weakly, "It wouldn't be good to get it dirty."

Lin Mo's eyes showed heartache. "Clothes are for people to wear. If they get dirty, just wash them, right?"

An Youyu remained silent, lowering her head and stepping on the bluestone slabs beneath her feet.

Lin Mo felt quite helpless about this.

Changing this girl's personality will be a long and arduous task!

……

"Fish, come quickly."

Seeing her son bring An Youyu home, Lin Shu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, smiled and waved to An Youyu, "Auntie saw a really pretty dress that would suit you perfectly."

"Auntie, you don't need to..."

"Xiao Mo!"

Before An Youyu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Shu's cold shout.

Lin Mo, the person involved, was completely bewildered, shrugging in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Standing there like a golden cudgel, don't you know to go make some tea?"

"..."

After scolding her son, Lin Shu pulled An Youyu to sit down, her expression instantly changing 180 degrees. "Yu'er, what were you trying to say just now?"

"I...I wanted to say that Auntie doesn't need to buy any more baby fish in the future..."

"Xiao Mo!"

Lin Mo, who had just reached the kitchen doorway, turned around and looked at her with a rather aggrieved expression. "Mom, what's wrong now?"

Lin Shu said with a stern face, "I don't like the look of you, so let me beat you up later!"

Lin Mo: "..."

Doing a paternity test is not out of the question.

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and make some tea!"

After her son went into the kitchen, Lin Shu's smile returned. "Yu'er, what did you want to say to Auntie just now?"

An Youyu didn't answer, but cautiously asked, "Auntie, Lin Mo didn't do anything wrong, why did you hit him?"

Hearing this question, Lin Shu's smile deepened. "There's no specific reason. That's just how I am. If I can't do something I want to do, I get angry, and when I get angry, I want to punch someone."

"Xiao Mo is the perfect target for a beating!"

Chapter 62 I... am a coward

Even if An Youyu was naive, she understood the meaning behind Lin Shu's words.

He simply wanted to tell her that if she didn't let him buy her clothes, Lin Mo would get beaten up; the words he had been preparing all the way to say, however, just wouldn't come out.

Seeing that the girl remained silent, Lin Shu added worriedly, "Don't overthink it. Auntie doesn't have violent tendencies. Sons need to be disciplined to grow up properly, but daughters need to be protected."

"But Lin Mo is clearly not wrong..."

"Just because it's true doesn't mean we can't fight."

"..."

An Youyu's continued silence drew a smile from Lin Shu, who asked knowingly, "Yu'er, what did you want to say to Auntie just now?"

"No, I didn't mean to say anything."

No matter how you look at it, An Youyu's smile seems somewhat forced.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Lin Shu's face. "By the way, Auntie hasn't asked you how your mock exam went yet. How do you think you did?"

"It's alright, the questions are relatively easy."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Youyu realized that her words were inappropriate and quickly corrected herself: "The questions were quite difficult, but I had done a lot of similar questions before, so... it was relatively easy."

Lin Shu was well aware of the girl's little thoughts, and her eyes showed even more pity than before. She unconsciously cupped the girl's face in her hands and said, "You don't need to be careful here with Auntie. Just say whatever you want and don't worry about saying the wrong thing."

Lin Shu's gaze was filled with sincerity and doting. An Youyu was stunned for a few seconds, her eyes slightly stinging. "Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Mo carried the teapot into the living room and happened to see this scene. Her tone was slightly displeased as she said, "Mom, what are you doing? Let go of my hand!"

"Xiao Mo, say it again if you dare."

"cough!"

Lin Mo shrank his neck and forced a dry laugh, "The tea is ready. Come on, have some tea first."

Lin Shu glanced at her son and said calmly, "Go and review first. Write down anything you don't understand. I'll chat with Yu'er for a while, and then she can tutor you later."

"This……"

"Ok?"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lin Mo looked sullen and inwardly cursed the problem. Reluctantly, he returned to his room and started doing practice problems.

About half an hour later, the sound of a door opening brought him back to reality. He turned his head and saw An Youyu walking into the room.

He put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief. "Teacher An, you've finally arrived."

An Youyu pouted and muttered under her breath, "How many times have I told you, don't call me Teacher An?"

Although she said that, she still obediently moved a stool from the foot of the bed and sat down next to Lin Mo. "Is there anything you don't understand?"

The refreshing fragrance that wafted towards him made Lin Mo's eyes narrow slightly. "I've encountered two math problems that are way beyond the curriculum."

"Too advanced?"

An Youyu took the test paper from Lin Mo and looked it over carefully. "It's not beyond the syllabus. You probably didn't read the questions carefully. Look here..."

In just a few words, she solved the problem that Lin Mo had mentioned, using high school math theory. The whole process was seamless, without even a pause.

Lin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, and his face flushed.

"Little fish."

"Ok?"

What exactly is your head made of?

"Why are you asking this?"

"You are amazing!"

Lin Mo sincerely exclaimed in admiration, "To be honest, before I met you, I looked down on the word 'genius.' In my opinion, there are no geniuses in the world. Those so-called geniuses are just more self-disciplined."

"After meeting you, I began to believe that geniuses truly exist in the world."

"genius?"

After a brief moment of surprise, An Youyu shook her head and denied it: "I'm not."

Lin Mo scoffed, "If you're not a genius, then it just means there are no geniuses in the world."

"I just have a slightly better learning ability than the average person."
