My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

He said that and strode forward.

Lin Mo followed slowly behind. An Youyu's speed visibly slowed down, and soon Lin Mo was side by side with her.

Neither of them spoke, as if nothing had just happened.

As the evening breeze swept in, darkness fell completely, and the bright moon and countless stars gradually appeared, reflecting the pale yellow streetlights on both sides of the road, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.

As they walked, An Youyu took Lin Mo's hand, looked straight ahead with a serious expression, and coughed lightly, "Who told you to hold my hand? I haven't forgiven you for what happened earlier."

Lin Mo couldn't hold back anymore, and with a wry smile, she raised their clasped hands, "Little Fish, you can't just twist the truth like that, it was clearly you just now..."

"So what if I pulled him on my own initiative?"

An Youyu stopped and looked up at Lin Mo's profile. "If you don't take the initiative, of course I will; otherwise, we'll have to give each other the silent treatment, which I don't want. It's so boring."

"Makes sense."

Such a novel reason made Lin Mo nod in deep agreement, and he pulled her to sit down by the fish pond not far away. "So, no matter what happens in the future, we should not have a cold war. I hope you will always stay the way you are now and tell me the truth about what you are thinking."

An Youyu blinked. "Then can you tease me less in the future?"

"No."

Lin Mo refused decisively, his expression particularly serious. "Little Fish, teasing you is my source of happiness. If you don't let me tease you, I won't be happy. You can't be so cruel."

An Youyu pursed her lips slightly, "What do you mean I'm cruel? You're the one who's twisting the truth!"

Lin Mo stroked the strands of hair on her shoulder. "I often tease you, but I've always kept things within limits and haven't gone too far, have I?"

An Youyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, "No, that's not the case."

"so……"

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

An Youyu decisively gave up arguing with Lin Mo. She had a clear understanding of her own eloquence level, which was far inferior to Lin Mo's.

If we continue this fight, we will undoubtedly lose!

So, we should just listen to this bad guy's nonsense.

She felt helpless, but she didn't feel any resentment at all.

It's just like the saying goes, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit."

The intoxicating evening breeze brought a refreshing coolness. An Youyu narrowed her clear eyes, leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder, and shared softly, "After waking up this afternoon, I called the dean, but unfortunately he was busy, so someone else answered."

"I really want to take some time to go back and see the dean. She's getting old, and it's inevitable that she'll have all sorts of health problems. Lin Mo, if we have the chance, how about we go back to Jingchuan together to visit the dean?"

Lin Mo's heart tightened. "It's possible, but you already have classes five days a week. Once the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking assessment begins, you'll probably be even busier."

"Too."

An Youyu's eyes showed three parts disappointment and seven parts helplessness, but she quickly composed herself. "It's okay, I'll visit the dean after the winter break."

Lin Mo's eyes were complicated, "Winter break..."

"Yes, winter break."

An Youyu didn't notice the subtle strangeness in Lin Mo's eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm very rich now. When I see the dean next time, I plan to give her all the money. That way, the hospital won't be short of money anymore."

Lin Mo quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "Little Fish, have you ever heard a saying?"

"What?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Lin Mo's expression turned serious. "No matter how much money you give the dean, it will eventually run out."

An Youyu replied without hesitation, "Then I'll earn more money before I run out of money."

Lin Mo smiled wryly, "You're such a stubborn girl, that's not what I meant."

An Youyu nudged Lin Mo's shoulder, looking at the fish swimming in the pool, "So what are you trying to say?"

Chapter 666 Lin Mo, I Like You

"You're so smart, do I need to tell you what it means?"

Lin Mo's question startled An Youyu. After thinking about it seriously for a moment, she tentatively said, "Make the orphanage an officially recognized orphanage. That way, the problem of the orphanage's lack of money can be solved permanently."

Lin Mo laughed, "I knew it, didn't I?"

An Youyu frowned slightly. "But in that case, the director will no longer be able to serve as the director of the orphanage. She's so old. Once the authorities take over management, she will definitely have to step down."

"I don't think this is a good approach."

Lin Mo then asked, "Wouldn't it be better for the dean to step down?"

"Where's the good?"

"You said it yourself, she's so old, she shouldn't have to worry about everything at her age. What she needs now is rest. Besides, after the authorities take over, those younger brothers and sisters can also have a better life, right?"

An Youyu fell silent after hearing Lin Mo's analysis.

After a long pause, she nodded gently. "What you said is indeed true, but getting an orphanage officially recognized is not that simple; many conditions need to be met."

Lin Mo put his arm around her shoulder. "As long as you agree, I'll take care of this."

“But… I don’t want to trouble you. I have the ability and confidence to earn enough money to keep the orphanage running.”

An Youyu is very clever. If Lin Mo wants to resolve this matter, he will definitely need to use the Lin family's resources. Although she and Lin Mo are in a relationship, she doesn't want to trouble Lin Mo with everything.

Relationship partners are supposed to help each other, but in reality, Lin Mo is always helping her, while she can't help Lin Mo.

If you keep taking from her, she'll start to hate herself.

Lin Mo understood the girl's thoughts very well, and gently comforted her, "Don't overthink it. We're a couple, so it's only natural for me to help you. Don't feel guilty. You'll be able to help me a lot in the future. I'm not lying to you."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

An Youyu sat up straight and said softly, "All I know is that I've been receiving gifts and help from you and Auntie all this time. I owe you so many favors, so many that I can hardly count them all."

Finally, she muttered under her breath, "At this rate, we'll never be able to pay it off..."

Lin Mo tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. "Who told you to pay it back?"

An Youyu disagreed with this view, saying, "It has to be repaid."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to return it?"

"Of course!"

An Youyu nodded without hesitation.

Lin Mo took a deep breath. "In that case, could I ask you for a favor?"

"can."

Hearing that Lin Mo needed her help, An Youyu's eyes lit up. She had known Lin Mo for so long, but he had never asked her for anything before. Now was the perfect opportunity to repay the favor.

Having figured this out, she eagerly pressed on, "Tell me, what is it? I'll definitely take care of it for you."

"It's simple in a word."

Illuminated by the light from the fishpond, Lin Mo's eyes appeared exceptionally deep. He leaned close to the girl's earlobe and whispered, "My family's household registration is missing someone. I'll have to trouble you with this."

"Is there someone missing from your household registration?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean? You don't mean you want me to persuade your dad and aunt to reconcile, do you?"

Lin Mo's expression stiffened, and he gave the girl a light flick on the forehead, saying irritably, "Can't you stop having such a bizarre thought process?"

An Youyu clutched her head in pain, "Why did you hit me?"

Before Lin Mo could speak, she continued, "You said yourself that there's one person missing from your family's household registration, isn't that just so I can persuade your father and aunt to reconcile?"

"of course not!"

Upon hearing the name Su Wenyang, a cold glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and he retorted irritably, "My mother was badly injured by Su Wenyang. If murder weren't illegal, I would have killed him without hesitation. Do you think I would let him reappear on my family's household register?"

"I……"

"What on earth is going on in your little head?"

An Youyu grabbed Lin Mo's arm and smiled sheepishly, "So what do you mean? Don't play riddles with me, I'm very stupid."

Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he simply said, "What I mean is that you should be on my family's household registration, understand?"

"Why am I listed on your household registration?"

An Youyu blinked. "Sure, is it like seeking refuge through connections?"

Lin Mo: "..."

The correct answer is right there in front of you, so why does this little thing always manage to perfectly avoid it?

"Refuge with you, my foot!"

Lin Mo barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. "Spouse! Do you understand? It means you have to marry me, so that there will be one more person on my family's household registration, right?"

An Youyu stood there, frozen in place, her jade lips slightly parted, as if she had been frozen in place.

Lin Mo didn't say anything more, just stared straight at her, waiting for her answer.

Ten seconds later, An Youyu swallowed hard, her eyes filled with panic, "We're just boyfriend and girlfriend..."

What's the next step for the object?

"I-I don't know..."

"The next step is to discuss marriage, then get engaged, and then get married."

Since he's chosen to play the straight game, Lin Mo might as well go all the way.

The purpose of this was not to force An Youyu to give an answer now.

Lin Mo just wanted to test where this girl's bottom line was. Only by finding out her bottom line could he know what to do in the days to come.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems also apply to relationships; this strategy is called "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Meeting Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu bit her lip tightly, her voice trembling: "Isn't this...isn't it a bit too fast?"

She wasn't running away from anything; she genuinely felt that her relationship with Lin Mo was progressing too quickly.

Not long after the college entrance examination, Lin Mo confessed his feelings to her. They started dating as soon as they entered university, and now, only half a month later, Lin Mo is already discussing marriage with her.
