My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course, this is a top-level archaeological site after all. The people involved in this project are all prominent figures, and they are all working for free. The Elders' Council can't be unable to even guarantee their basic living conditions, otherwise it would look too shabby."

"The Elders' Council may be stingy, but they're not shameless."

"Shh..."

An Youyu made a shushing gesture, "Auntie, be careful, the walls may have ears."

This action made both the mother and son burst into laughter.

An Youyu blinked, puzzled. "Did I say something wrong? What are you all laughing at?"

Lin Shu chuckled and placed a piece of braised pork on her plate. “Yu’er, it’s not as serious as you think when you occasionally make fun of the Elders’ Council. I’ve said even harsher things to the Elders’ faces. You don’t need to be so careful.”

An Youyu: "..."

Lin Mo patted her shoulder. "My mom has always been like this, very straightforward, she says what she thinks."

An Youyu nodded gently, "Yes, you guys... just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lin Shu laughed, shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, and then winked at her son, "Xiao Mo, are you sure you want to take Yu'er to the ruins tomorrow?"

Hearing this, An Youyu lost her appetite and stared longingly at Lin Mo.

Under their gazes, Lin Mo swallowed the food in his mouth and slowly nodded, "I'm sure. Since we're already here, if we don't let Yu'er see it, she'll be very disappointed."

"That's what I said, but..."

Lin Shu looked worried. "I'm just worried about Yu'er. We only talked about the pre-Xia calendar era in front of her for a few minutes, and she was already very uncomfortable. Let alone being in close contact with the pre-Xia calendar era ruins. If something happens to her, this is a desert with very basic medical conditions. I think it's best to be careful."

"Xiao Mo, what do you think?"

Chapter 819 The word "like" has no logic.

"I think……"

"I think you're right."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Lin Shu smiled knowingly, while An Youyu looked dejected and somewhat unhappy.

The next second, Lin Mo's voice continued, "Although, I still want to take Yu'er to see the ruins."

Lin Shu's smile froze. "Xiao Mo, since you think I'm right, then why did you..."

Before his mother could finish speaking, Lin Mo interrupted, "Mom, although I think you're right, what law says that people are obligated to do the right thing?"

"you……"

Lin Shu was speechless after being choked.

After a moment of silence, she turned to An Youyu and asked, "Yu'er, can I beat this kid up?"

An Youyu hurriedly shook her head. Lin Mo had only gone against Lin Shu to fulfill her wish. If she didn't speak up for Lin Mo now, she would truly be an ingrate. "Auntie, you can't. Hitting people is wrong."

Lin Shu was not surprised by this answer.

Just then, Lin Mo said with a forced smile, "Mom, hitting people is against the law."

Lin Shu put down her bowl and chopsticks and responded with a laugh, "Hitting someone is illegal, but disciplining your own son isn't, is it? What law says that a mother can't discipline her own son?"

"cough!"

Lin Mo gave an awkward smile. "Alright, didn't we already reach a conclusion on this matter this afternoon? Why do you want to go back on your word?"

Lin Shu also put away her joking mood and explained seriously, "Xiao Mo, it's not that Mom wants to go back on her word, but this matter itself is wrong. I only have this one daughter-in-law. If something bad happens to her, how can I live?"

"Aunt……"

An Youyu's face turned bright red.

Lin Mo laughed, "Daughter-in-law? Mom, when did Xiaoyuer become your daughter-in-law? Does she acknowledge it?"

Lin Shu immediately looked at An Youyu, "Yu'er, don't you agree?"

"I……"

An Youyu stammered for a while before finally saying in a barely audible voice, "I...didn't say I disagreed."

Although the sound was soft, the Lin mother and son heard it clearly.

Lin Shu gave her son a smug look. "See? Even the fish agrees to me calling it that. What else can you say?"

Lin Mo looked surprised, then smiled and waved his hand, "Since Xiaoyuer agrees, I have nothing to say. But there's no need to talk about going down to the ruins. We'll definitely go down, but I'll keep a close eye on her. If Xiaoyuer has any abnormal reactions, I'll take her back immediately."

Seeing his son say this, Lin Shu could no longer persuade him and reluctantly agreed.

After the meal, Lin Shu packed up the lunchbox and got up to leave.

I had only taken two steps when my son called me back.

Lin Mo looked puzzled. "Mom, you haven't arranged a place for me to stay yet. Where am I going to sleep tonight?"

Lin Shu was incredibly disappointed in him. Had this brat been kicked in the head by a donkey? Why would he ask such a stupid question?

"There are no extra tents here, you and the fish can share one tent."

Lin Mo scratched his head. "Huh? Is that so?"

Hearing their conversation, An Youyu, who was wiping the table, suddenly spoke up: "Auntie, I remember there's an empty tent on the very edge of the south..."

"Fish, you've got it wrong."

"is it?"

"Yes."

After saying those two words, Lin Shu walked out of the tent without turning her head, muttering to herself, "Xiao Mo, this is all the help I can give you. If you still can't handle this, you deserve to never eat four dishes in your life!"

After wiping the table, An Youyu picked up her coat from the bed and put it on. "I'm going out to take a look. I clearly remember there was an empty tent at the southernmost point."

"Cough...cough!!!"

Lin Mo coughed for a moment, "Little Fish, how about we forget it? I'll stay here tonight and go see you tomorrow."

An Youyu's face flushed, and she pointed to the small bed in the corner, "How can two people sleep in such a small bed?"

Lin Mo chuckled and said, "You can sleep here. You're so small, you don't take up much space at all."

As he spoke, he went to the tent entrance, took off the outer lock, closed the door, and hung the lock back on.

Then, he walked to the bedside on his own, lay down leisurely, squinted at An Youyu who looked troubled, and patted the empty space on the inside, "What are you still standing there for? Go to bed and sleep."

"I……"

An Youyu was quite helpless. She slowly came to the bedside, hesitated for a long time, and finally accepted the fact. She took off her shoes and climbed into the bed from the foot of the bed.

"Um...you're not allowed to touch me."

The moment she uttered those words, Lin Mo pulled her into his arms. This position inevitably caused some sensitive areas to touch, making her already flushed face turn even redder. "You..."

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Mo's hot breath in her ear, and her body went slightly weak.

Lin Mo kissed her earlobe, a mischievous smirk in his voice, "I promise I won't touch you, but I can at least use my mouth, right?"

An Youyu: "..."

She knew it...

"Lin Mo, can I go sleep with Auntie?"

"What do you think?"

"can."

"Can't!"

"..."

Lin Mo held the soft, fragrant body in his arms, surprisingly calm, his mind free of any distractions, and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

An Youyu was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Yes!

Last time she was so proactive, and Lin Mo didn't do anything to her.

He respects me so much, what do I have to be afraid of?

Having figured all this out, An Youyu's panicked mood instantly calmed down. She slowly turned around, nestled into Lin Mo's arms, and awkwardly hugged his waist with both hands, burying her head in his chest. "Thank you."

Lin Mo was surprised by the thank you and asked, puzzled, "Thank me for what?"

An Youyu tilted her head back, her pure eyes filled with sincerity, "You respect me a lot, you take care of my thoughts, and you're very good to me, very good; so I want to thank you."

Lin Mo gently stroked her face with his large hand. "Silly girl, the reason I treat you this way is because I like you, but precisely because I like you, I don't need your thanks."

"I also……"

An Youyu stammered for a while but couldn't get the words "I like it too" out.

Such sweet nothings are not her forte.

Lin Mo didn't make things difficult for her, saying, "The word 'like' has no logic."

An Youyu breathed a sigh of relief and quietly changed the subject, "So what do you like about me?"

Hearing this question, Lin Mo's smile deepened. "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

An Youyu blinked eagerly, "What's a lie?"

"A lie is..."

Lin Mo paused, "My little fish is stunningly beautiful."

A sly glint flashed in An Youyu's eyes. "Since it's a lie, does that mean you think my appearance doesn't deserve the title of 'a beauty that could topple kingdoms'?"

Lin Mo: "..."

How did this little gadget manage to outwit me?

Noticing the speechless look on Lin Mo's face, An Youyu chuckled softly, "Alright, then let me ask you, do you like me just because I'm pretty?"

"If I say no, it would seem too hypocritical."

Lin Mo's expression turned serious. "Beauty is a part of you. My liking for you means I like all of you, which naturally includes your beauty."

An Youyu chuckled, "You're making it so convoluted, it's almost making me dizzy."
