Lin Mo replied without batting an eye, "I didn't do anything. I just thought the weather was really nice today, really nice, really nice."

Lin Shu: "..."

Could it be any more fake?

Having no other choice, she took a deep breath, gave An Youyu an apologetic smile, and casually told her what she had been thinking at the beginning.

Since it's impossible to hide it anymore, there's no need to hide it any longer.

After hearing Lin Shu's explanation, An Youyu's expression turned strange. "Pre-Lunar Calendar ruins?"

Lin Shu nodded hurriedly, "That's right, Yu'er. So it's not that Auntie deliberately doesn't let you go to the archaeological site. Auntie also has to consider your health. I remember once, Xiao Mo and I just talked about the pre-Xia calendar era in front of you, and you showed obvious discomfort."

"Given this precedent, I really don't dare let you go to the archaeological site. If something were to happen to you, not only would Xiao Mo not forgive me, but I myself would not forgive myself either. I hope you can understand."

An Youyu's clear eyes shone with light as her thoughts raced.

At this point, Lin Mo could no longer pretend to be dead, so he chuckled and said, "Little Fish, I can assure you that what she said is true. The reason I didn't let you go to the archaeological site was because I was worried about your safety."

An Youyu slowly raised her slightly lowered head and looked at Lin Mo.

At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly had a bad feeling, but before he could ask, An Youyu's voice rang out.

“Lin Mo, Auntie; even if this project is a pre-Lunar calendar era site, I still want to go and see it in person.”

Without a second thought, Lin Shu refused, saying, "No, Yu'er, Auntie can agree to anything you want, but when it comes to your safety, you can't do anything reckless."

Normally, if Lin Shu refused, An Youyu would not say anything more.

But this time, contrary to her usual behavior, she persisted. As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, she immediately said, "Auntie, Youyu is not being reckless. I really want to see the archaeological site. I really, really want to."

After saying that, she slowly walked behind Lin Mo, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, please, can you say something for Youyu?"

The soft, coquettish voice made Lin Mo's back stiffen, his expression turning bitter. "Little Fish, it's not a matter of whether I speak up for you or not, it's more like..."

"If I go to the archaeological site together and I experience even the slightest physical discomfort, I'll immediately back out, okay?"

An Youyu understood what Lin Mo was worried about and quickly made a guarantee.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then looked up at his mother across from him. "Mom, let Xiaoyuer go to the scene and take a look. If it doesn't work out, I'll take her out immediately."

Lin Shu covered her ears with both hands, pretending that she hadn't heard anything. "You young people can decide your own affairs. Anyway, I can't control you, and you won't listen even if I try.

An Youyu's eyes sparkled with surprise, "So... Auntie agreed?"

Does it matter whether I agree or not?

Lin Shu looked helpless and pointed at her son, "The power of speech is in this kid's hands. You can persuade him. My words have no effect."

His tone carried a hint of complaint.

An Youyu naturally understood, and her pretty face flushed slightly. "Auntie, please don't be angry. Youyu promises to be willful this once, and will definitely listen to you from now on, okay?"

Hearing the soft, sweet voice, Lin Shu's heart fluttered with joy. "Little Fish, you said it, don't you mean it?"

An Youyu nodded vigorously, "Of course it counts."

Lin Shu smiled contentedly, "Alright, it's settled then."

She changed the subject: "Let's leave it at that for today. Xiao Mo has come all this way, so you two should have a good chat first. We'll have dinner together as a family tonight, and then discuss the details of going to the archaeological site tomorrow."

An Youyu nodded repeatedly, "I'll do whatever Auntie says."

Lin Shu chuckled inwardly at Xiao Mo's obedient appearance and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, I won't be a third wheel anymore. Yu'er, take Xiao Mo to your tent."

"it is good."

An Youyu didn't think much of it. She took Lin Mo's hand and pulled him out of the tent. They walked half a circle around her mother's tent and came to a small tent directly behind it.

Compared to other tents, this tent is noticeably smaller, and its entrance is also different from that of ordinary tents. While other tents have large zippered entrances, this tent has been modified with an alloy frame and fitted with a narrow door, which is also locked.

An Youyu's little hands rummaged in her pockets and pulled out a key. With a click, the door lock opened.

Lin Mo clicked his tongue and said half-jokingly, "Little Fish, your protection level is pretty high, isn't it?"

An Youyu smiled shyly and said weakly, "Auntie arranged all of this specially. She said...it's mostly men here..."

"As expected of my mom, she's so thoughtful."

Lin Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with what her mother did; on the contrary, she thought it was quite good.

Always be wary of others.

It's always better to be careful.

That's great!

Chapter 818 I know a lot, do you want to give it a try?

"come in."

When Lin Mo entered the tent where An Youyu was staying, he was taken aback.

Everywhere you look is pink, even the sand is covered with pink carpets.

Compared to the previous tent's rudimentary style, the two are worlds apart.

Seeing Lin Mo's surprised expression, An Youyu smiled apologetically and explained weakly, "This is not what I asked for. It was Auntie who insisted on decorating it this way. When she came, she brought two huge suitcases, and these decorations were basically all brought by her."

Lin Mo laughed, "That's great, the maternal love I lacked before is now being made up for in you."

An Youyu pursed her lips, boiled water, and seeing that Lin Mo was still standing, she took the initiative to pull him to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Lin Mo, is this really a site from before the Xia Dynasty?"

"Correct."

Lin Mo held her in his arms and said half-jokingly, "If it weren't for that, why would I have gone to such lengths to come here?"

"But if I had known earlier that my mom didn't plan to let you go to the archaeological site, I probably wouldn't have come."

An Youyu quickly shook her head, "No, you came just in time. If you hadn't come, Auntie probably wouldn't have told me the truth. I've been so bored these past two days. Auntie and the two teachers went to the underground ruins, but they wouldn't let me go down. I've been alone in the tent all day. There's no signal here, and I can't chat with you..."

Listening to the girl's complaints, Lin Mo laughed and joked, "Who told you not to listen to me? I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming anyway."

An Youyu's eyes darted around, "It turns out I didn't make a mistake coming here."

"If I hadn't come, I definitely would have missed this pre-Lunar calendar site."

Lin Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Big sister, are you really that interested in things from before the Xia calendar era?"

"Can't you have some self-awareness? You're clearly allergic to this, but you still insist on going for it. Sometimes, I really want to pin you down on my lap and spank your bottom!"

An Youyu's cheeks flushed, and she said in a soft voice, "I don't know why I'm like this, but I'm just very interested in things from before the Lunar New Year."

She stuck out her tongue. "If things don't look right when we go to the underground ruins tomorrow, you can lead me out."

"I promise you, I'll be willful just this once, okay?"

She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

This tactic was extremely effective against Lin Mo.

He gave a helpless, bitter laugh. "I've already agreed. Do you think I can go back on my word?"

An Youyu smiled sweetly, "Hey... thank you."

"Do I owe you a thank you?"

"you……"

Meeting Lin Mo's mischievous eyes, An Youyu's face flushed uncontrollably. After hesitating for two seconds, she consciously closed her eyes and raised her head slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't hold back and lowered his head to kiss the girl's delicate red lips.

After a period of brutality, he released her, satisfied.

An Youyu wiped her lips, sat up, and snorted, "All you think about is bullying people right away. What else can you do besides that?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "I know a lot of things. Do you want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu hurriedly shook her head, "No, I won't try."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh. He lay down on the bed, squinted his eyes, and said, "I haven't slept much these past two days on the road. I'll catch up on some sleep. Wake me up for dinner tonight."

"it is good."

An Youyu stayed by the bedside, and after Lin Mo fell asleep, she used a hot towel to wet it and carefully wiped the sand and dust off his face.

She squatted by the bed, staring blankly at the sleeping Lin Mo, seemingly lost in thought, with a slight upturn at the corners of her lips from time to time.

Time flew by, and it was past seven in the evening.

At this time of day, the northwestern desert was still brightly lit, showing no signs of darkness.

Lin Shu walked into the tent and saw An Youyu asleep by the bed, while her son was sleeping on the bed. She laughed in annoyance.

That brat knows how to enjoy himself!

"cough--"

An Youyu was a light sleeper and woke up at the sound of coughing. Turning around and seeing Lin Shu, she quickly got up. "Auntie, Lin Mo didn't rest much on the way, so..."

Lin Shu interrupted, "Yu'er, why are you so nervous?"

"No, no."

"Wake Xiao Mo up."

After saying that, Lin Shu turned and walked out of the tent.

When she returned, she was carrying several lunchboxes.

At this moment, Lin Mo was also woken up by An Youyu and was sitting on the bed in a daze. An Youyu helped him wipe his face.

Lin Shu opened the lunchboxes one by one and placed them on the table. Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Xiao Mo, you really know how to enjoy yourself. This little life you're living... tsk, it's comparable to that of an emperor!"

Before Lin Mo could say anything, An Youyu spoke up first to explain, "Auntie, this was my own choice. He must have had a very hard time coming here all by himself."

Lin Mo chuckled, his face full of innocence. "Mom, Xiaoyuer feels sorry for me, aren't you happy?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son, "Don't act innocent after getting the benefit. How long do you expect Yu'er to serve you? Get out of bed and eat!"

"Got it."

Lin Mo pulled An Youyu to the table and sat down. Looking at the fragrant braised pork, steamed fish, and two vegetable dishes, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The living conditions here are much better than I imagined."
