My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo laughed and replied, "Sister, you still don't understand Xiaoyuer's personality. This isn't about how much money you have."

"what is that?"

"money!"

Lin Mo looked helpless. "Once the money gets into Xiaoyuer's hands, it's all precious. That girl is usually very stingy with it."

Lin Xue suddenly realized, "That's true, I had overlooked the fact that Yu'er is a little money-grubber."

An Youyu acted as if she hadn't heard their teasing. She carefully arranged the money she had won and held it in front of her. Only after doing all this did she remember to retort.

"I'm not a money-grubber, this is called... this is called a gentleman who loves money but earns it in a proper way."

After saying that, she seemed to think it wasn't enough, and once again brought up that classic quote, "I regard money as dirt!"

Lin Xue chuckled and shook her head, gesturing for Lin Mo to continue their previous conversation.

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Xiaoyuer is very sensitive to numbers, and her memory is amazing. It's no exaggeration at all. Her memory is comparable to the legendary photographic memory."

"No matter how you shuffle the cards, she can tell the order of the cards at a glance, and she remembers what cards you each have in your hands. And if I'm not mistaken, when you were playing cards just now, didn't Xiaoyuer often take the initiative to cut the cards?"

Lin Xue looked surprised. "How did you know?"

Listening to their conversation, An Youyu lowered her head guiltily.

Lin Mo glanced at the girl and said with a smile, "By cutting the cards, she has already determined what cards everyone will have. Even the God of Gamblers would have a hard time playing against her unless she cheats."

As he spoke, he put his arm around An Youyu's shoulder and tapped her forehead. "This little thing's brain is comparable to a computer. If you play poker against a computer, who would lose if you didn't?"

Lin Xue's mouth dropped open; she found it hard to accept what she had just heard.

Is it really possible for someone to do this?

This is too exaggerated!

"Fish, is it really as Lin Mo said?"

Hearing Lin Xue's question, An Youyu smiled shyly, "I guess... right."

Upon seeing An Youyu's admission, Lin Xue couldn't help but gasp and gave her a thumbs up. "Alright, I admit defeat. But I won't play cards with you again."

An Youyu's eyes flickered, "Sister, what about this money..."

Lin Xue chuckled, "Just take it, you little money-grubber."

After saying that, she placed the few remaining banknotes in front of An Youyu, "Here, these are all yours, consider them pocket money from your older sister."

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. I'm sleepy, time for bed."

After Lin Xue left, Lin Shu was filled with emotion. She glanced at her son, then at An Youyu, and asked, "Yu'er, where will you stay tonight?"

An Youyu smiled sweetly, "I'm fine with anything. Wherever Auntie wants me to stay, Youyu will stay."

Lin Shu smiled and asked, "Would you be willing if I let you stay in Xiao Mo's room tonight?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu blushed instantly, quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, grabbed the money, and ran towards the door. When she reached the door, she paused, turned back, and gave Lin Shu an apologetic smile, "Auntie, Youyu is sleepy, I'll go back to my room to sleep now, goodnight."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

After the door was closed again, only the mother and son remained in the room.

Lin Mo leaned lazily against the headboard. "Mom, why did you send Xiaoyuer away?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son, "Xiao Mo, can you not be so smart? At least Yu'er is only smart, but a bit dull in dealing with people. On the other hand, you are smart and emotionally intelligent. People like you are very annoying."

Listening to his mother's complaints, Lin Mo half-jokingly said, "Mom, if you want to praise your son, just do it openly. There's no need to hide it."

"Praise me my foot! I'm just complaining, complaining!"

After the joke, Lin Mo's expression quickly turned serious. He sat up straight and took the initiative to ask, "Mom, what do you want to ask?"

Lin Shu cut to the chase: "Where have you been this past week?"

If others don't know their son, how could she not know?

Going out to discuss business?

She, as a mother, would never believe such a ridiculous reason. Based on her understanding of her son, she knew that it was impossible for him, as the boss, to handle business matters.

That kid is incredibly lazy; he'll never lift a finger if he can avoid it!

"I managed to fool everyone else, but I couldn't fool you."

Lin Mo first gave a wry smile, then a rare hint of sadness appeared between his brows. "Since you asked, then I won't hide it from you. I went back to Jingchuan during this time."

"Back to Jingchuan?"

Lin Shu nodded slightly. This answer was unexpected, yet reasonable. She tentatively asked, "Did you go to pay your respects to Dean Zhou?"

"Correct."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement, "I also took the opportunity to check on the current situation at the orphanage. It's not bad; the living conditions of the orphans are much, much better than when I last visited."

Lin Shu suddenly asked, "Your school will be on holiday soon, right?"

Lin Mo glanced at the date. "It'll be soon. There's only a little over a week left before winter break. That's why I went back to Jingchuan early."

"Ah."

Lin Shu responded with a sigh, "People are all subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death; no one is an exception."

Hearing his mother's words, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of Lan Ying, the old woman with countless secrets, and said almost unconsciously, "Not necessarily."

Lin Shu asked in surprise, "Not necessarily? Xiao Mo, what are you talking about?"

"nothing."

Lin Mo brushed it off and subtly changed the subject.

That night, the mother and son talked until after 3 a.m., discussing so many things...

As winter vacation approached, Xia Bei also began her final exams.

Both teachers and students are very busy.

Only Lin Mo and An Youyu... no, to be precise, only Lin Mo.

An Youyu still has at least two professional exams to take: mathematics and antiquities restoration.

In contrast, Lin Mo was too lazy to even take the exams. Since there were no credit restrictions, as long as he didn't do anything outrageous, he could get his diploma in four years.

Of course, this doesn't mean Lin Mo is just wasting his time.

The reason he doesn't usually go to class, and isn't taking the final exam now, is simply because these things are useless to him.

The knowledge taught in class was to Lin Mo what a university PhD student was learning first-grade elementary school material and taking a first-grade exam.

This kind of boring thing is a complete waste of time.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Mo escorted An Youyu to the math classroom.

An Youyu turned around and waved, "I've arrived. You go to the Cuttlefish Library first, and I'll come find you after my exam."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, but after An Youyu entered the classroom, he did not leave. Instead, he leaned against the handrail in the corridor, watching the students hurrying into the classroom, and felt a deep sense of emotion.

Well, his college life is quite different from that of ordinary people.

It's less like going to school and more like a vacation.

No classes, no exams, and a breathtakingly beautiful girl by your side all day long—this kind of life is simply... heavenly.

Four words...

It's really great!

Chapter 800 Final Exam (Part Two)

"Lin Mo?"

Li Qingyun, the math teacher and also a member of the Q group, looked at Lin Mo with surprise as she held a stack of test papers. "What are you doing here?"

Lin Mo spread his hands. "Teacher Li, what are you saying? Can't I be here?"

"It's possible, but it's a bit unusual."

"What's wrong?"

Li Qingyun raised an eyebrow. "All majors are taking final exams right now. It's not normal for a science and mathematics student to be outside a math department classroom."

"It's just outside the math classroom, not inside it, everything's normal."

Lin Mo smiled knowingly and lowered his voice, "Teacher Li, the reason I'm here is simply to see someone off, nothing more."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun's expression instantly changed. "Give it away? Give it to whom?"

Lin Mo was secretly delighted by Li Qingyun's reaction. "Teacher Li, you should already know who I can give it to."

Li Qingyun's face tightened, and he strode into the math classroom. His eyes swept around the classroom, and when he saw An Youyu in the second-to-last row, he forced a smile.

He took a deep breath, trying to appear normal. "An Youyu, could you please come out for a moment? I need to talk to you about something."

In an instant, all the students in the classroom focused their attention on An Youyu.

An Youyu blinked blankly, pointed to the clock on the wall, and said in a very soft voice, "Teacher, the exam is about to start. Can't we talk about this after the exam?"

Li Qingyun's breath hitched, and he forced a stiff smile. "There are still a few minutes left. Come out for a moment."

After saying that, he didn't give An Youyu a chance to refuse and turned to leave the classroom.

An Youyu looked down at the exam tools that had been prepared on the table, her pretty face a little dejected. She wasn't stupid; she knew very well why Li Qingyun had called her out.

High probability...

I don't want her to participate in this final exam.

But she really wanted to participate. Life itself is a journey of various experiences, and she didn't like her many privileges. She just wanted to be like an ordinary college student, attending classes, taking exams, and graduating.

An Youyu sighed helplessly, packed up her exam tools, and reluctantly left the classroom.

As soon as she came out, she noticed Lin Mo, who had a strange look on his face.

Li Qingyun coughed lightly, noticing that many students were watching them. He lowered his voice and said, "Little darling, you shouldn't have come to take the exam. Your math skills are better than mine. You're just here to cause trouble."

An Youyu lowered her eyebrows and complained softly, "Teacher, does having a high level of skill disqualify someone from taking the exam? That's not fair!"

Hearing this conversation, Lin Mo couldn't hold back any longer. He silently turned around, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
