Lin Mo forced a smile, feeling incredibly frustrated.

He stubbornly pulled An Youyu up and led her to the window. After opening the window, the night breeze, carrying a gentle coolness, blew on the two of them.

"Little Fish, today I'll show you properly. The thunder before was just a coincidence. How could I be struck by lightning just because I swore an oath? This is completely unscientific. As outstanding young people of this era, we must believe in science."

"Don't."

An Youyu pouted, looking worriedly at the starry night sky, "I believe in science, don't swear."

"Believe in science, but I can't even swear an oath?"

Lin Mo pinched her cheek in annoyance. "Watch closely, today I'm going to clear up any misunderstandings you have about the oath you made to me."

He raised his right hand, his face serious, and said, "I swear..."

"Click——"

A bolt of lightning illuminated the pitch-black night sky as if it were daytime, and the deafening thunder rattled the windows.

Seeing that things were not going well, An Youyu used both hands at the same time. With one hand, she pulled down Lin Mo's raised right hand, and with the other hand, she covered his mouth. Her eyes were pleading, "I'm begging you, please don't make any more oaths in the future."

Lin Mo: "..."

Why?

Why is that?

Just moments ago, the sky was filled with stars, and the moon shone brightly; why did lightning and thunder suddenly appear?

Is it because he said the words "I swear"?

This……

That’s outrageous! ! !

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't speak, An Youyu tilted her head and stared at him, "You'd better say yes, what if you really get struck by lightning and die? What will I do?"

"..."

Lin Mo closed his eyes, perfectly embodying the phrase "life is meaningless".

The girl's words were both heartwarming and poignant!

"Okay, I'll never make any more oaths."

To be honest, Lin Mo didn't want to make an oath.

But after this happened several times in a row, he started to feel a little scared.

It's not that I'm cowardly, but if I swear an oath and thunder roars, anyone would be scared!

An Youyu's tense expression relaxed, and she changed the subject: "So you can sleep on the sofa tonight, and I'll sleep in the bed, is that okay?"

"I……"

"If that doesn't work, then I'll sleep on the sofa and you can sleep in the bed."

Meeting the girl's gaze, Lin Mo clicked his tongue and sighed helplessly, "Fine, I'll sleep on the sofa, you sleep on the bed."

Ugh!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating, so he slept on the sofa...

An Youyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Thank you."

Lin Mo gave a wry smile.

Watching the girl adjust the room temperature, I saw her crawl into bed.

He could only lie alone on the sofa, and after the lights were turned off, he kept tossing and turning, becoming more and more depressed.

Hearing the sound of turning over, An Youyu's voice rang out in the darkness.

"Lin Mo, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just in a bad mood."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Mo's words and explained softly, "The reason I made you sleep on the sofa is because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to control yourself. We... need to take it slow."

"Little Fish, don't you believe me?"

Hearing the amusement in Lin Mo's tone, An Youyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... I'm afraid you'll act impulsively. Qi Yue and the others often sneak into my bed at night to sleep with me. You're a boy... you'd definitely be more inclined to do bad things."

"Instead of this, wouldn't it be better not to sleep together?"

Chapter 638 No Laughing, Time to Go to Sleep

"Qi Yue and the others took advantage of you?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was furious. "What kind of roommates do you have? You're all girls, are they lesbians?"

"Nonsense!"

An Youyu's voice carried a hint of coquettishness, "They said I smelled nice and felt soft when they hugged me, so..."

"But don't worry, they're perfectly normal, not what you're thinking."

Do you smell nice?

Holding something soft?

Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Mo's mood instantly shifted from sunny to partly cloudy, then to overcast, and she said with a hint of resentment, "So other people can hold you while you sleep, but I can't?"

“It’s different, you’re a boy.”

"What's the difference?"

Lin Mo retorted, "I didn't mean to do anything bad. I was just holding you while we slept, that's all."

Sensing the resentment in Lin Mo's words, An Youyu remained silent for nearly half a minute. Just as Lin Mo was about to ask her why she wasn't speaking, a murmured voice reached her ears.

"If you promise not to touch me, I'll let you hold me while we sleep."

Suddenly, Lin Mo opened his eyes, sprang up from the sofa with a somersault, and asked with delight, "Really?"

"…Um."

The girl responded almost inaudibly.

Hearing the girl's response, Lin Mo's lips twitched wildly. In fact, given his mindset, he shouldn't have acted so childishly, but the longer he spent with An Youyu, perhaps influenced by her, his mindset became more and more youthful.

At least when facing An Youyu, Lin Mo is an eighteen-year-old boy who often does childish things.

"Don't move, I'll turn on the light."

"Need not."

In the darkness, Lin Mo reached the bedside, carefully lifted a corner of the blanket, pretended to lie down on the bed, and reached his left hand under An Youyu's neck to pull her into his arms.

He could feel the girl's body stiffen noticeably, and he chuckled teasingly, "So nervous?"

"Yeah, nervous."

An Youyu murmured, "I'm afraid you'll do something bad."

"rest assured."

Lin Mo gently patted the girl's shoulder with his right hand. "You don't have to trust anyone, but you have to trust me. If you don't want to, I will never force anything between you. Respect is the most basic and important attitude between men and women in a relationship."

"Thank you."

After hearing Lin Mo's words, An Youyu's tension eased considerably. Her stiff body gradually softened, and after a few seconds of silence, she whispered, "Do you know why I asked Sister Lin Xue to let me share a room with you?"

"know."

Lin Mo smiled knowingly, "You don't like unfamiliar environments, and if no one is with you, you'll probably stay up all night, right?"

Seeing that Lin Mo had revealed her thoughts, An Youyu pursed her lips and hummed softly, "I originally wanted to sleep with Auntie, but Auntie and Grandma obviously have a lot to talk about and will definitely chat for a long time, so I can only share a room with you."

Am I... particularly timid?

"timid?"

Lin Mo inhaled the delicate fragrance emanating from the girl's dark hair and said with a smile, "Where are you being timid? Don't talk nonsense, okay? The Little Fish I remember has always been this timid."

An Youyu curled up in Lin Mo's arms like a cat and mumbled, "Being timid is fine, there's nothing shameful about it."

"Hahaha……"

"Don't laugh, go to sleep."

…………

At around 1 a.m., the balcony on the top floor of the main building was still brightly lit.

Xu Yanshu and Lin Shu, mother and daughter, sat facing each other. Lin Yi, who had said he was going to rest earlier, sat to the side, drinking tea as if nothing was wrong, but his eyes kept scanning his wife and daughter's faces.

Perhaps feeling the chill, Xu Yanshu tightened her shawl, her expression revealing a complex mix of emotions.

"Xiao Shu, as far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time you've apologized to me."

Lin Shu's eyes were filled with bitterness. "I was too spoiled before, Mom. I'm sorry."

Lin Yi, who was drinking tea, suddenly said, "No need to apologize, it's good that you're back."

Xu Yanshu glanced at her husband. "You've been drinking tea for hours, haven't you had enough yet? I'm talking to Xiaoshu, can't you just leave for a bit?"

Lin Yi gave an awkward smile, "I'm just worried. You two are both so stubborn, you might end up arguing over something you didn't say."

Xu Yanshu retorted, "So, you think I have a bad temper?"

"Yes."

Lin Shu also spoke up for her mother, saying, "What's wrong with my mother's temper? If anything is bad, it's my temper."

Lin Yi glanced at his daughter and said, "In the years you've been away from home, your mother's temper has become increasingly erratic. Fortunately, Xiaoxue is always there to keep her company; otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go home."

Xu Yanshu gave her husband a warning look, "Who told you to say these things?"

Lin Shu felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles, and her guilt intensified.

In my memory, my mother was very gentle. She rarely said harsh words to me from childhood to adulthood, and she never hit or scolded me.

Twenty years ago, when she confessed to her parents that she was in a relationship with Su Wenyang, her mother not only scolded her severely but also hit her.

She remembers feeling very wronged at the time, feeling that her mother didn't understand her at all.
