But Lin Mo acted as if he hadn't heard a word of it, explaining as if no one else was there: "I kissed Xiaoyuer, and she said she felt like she'd been chewed up by a dog. You be the judge, who wouldn't be angry after hearing that?"

An Youyu covered her face, feeling utterly ashamed.

Discussing such shameful things in front of her elders, she didn't want to live anymore!

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu seemed to have discovered a new continent, "Oh? You kissed? Um... let me ask you, is kissing all you can do? Didn't you do anything else naughty?"

Lin Mo: "..."

Ginger is still spicy!

That's absolutely true!

One sentence silenced him.

At this moment, An Youyu had a pained look on her face. She gently poked Lin Shu's waist with her little hand and pleaded in a low voice, "Auntie, I beg you, please say less, okay?"

Knowing that the girl was shy, Lin Shu laughed heartily and didn't press the matter further. With her left hand, she lifted the girl's chin and said with a half-smile, "Fish, Auntie can't help you this time. This is clearly a private matter between you and Xiao Mo. Even as your mother, it's not convenient for me to interfere. You should resolve it yourselves."

"Ugh?"

An Youyu was dumbfounded.

The aunt has abandoned her?

This is terrible!

She instinctively hugged Lin Shu tightly, "Auntie, you can't just ignore this! If you don't, the baby fish will die."

Lin Shu smiled and shook her head, gently stroking her soft, black hair. "Don't worry, you definitely won't die. Auntie guarantees you that."

An Youyu: "..."

She glanced at Lin Shu, then looked back at Lin Mo opposite the sand table model. A few seconds later, a flattering smile appeared on her flawless face.

"Brother, I was wrong."

The five words, brimming with affection, startled not only Lin Mo but even Lin Shu, a woman herself, causing her to secretly grin.

Be nice!

With that voice alone, what man in the world could resist it?

Lin Mo leaned against the wooden structure at the edge of the sand table with one hand. "Wrong? No problem, come over and give me a good whack, and I'll forgive you."

An Youyu: "..."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Lin Mo was not in a hurry. "It's okay, it's fine if you don't want to. I'll settle this score with you properly tonight. Anyway, I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it, so you can't blame me."

At this moment, An Youyu's face was as red as a ripe apple.

Torn between conflicting emotions, she finally got up, walked around the sand table model, and came to Lin Mo. She turned back to look at Lin Shu with shy eyes and said, "Auntie, please close your eyes."

"Can I cover my eyes?"

Lin Shu compromised slightly on the girl's request, covering her eyes with her hands, but leaving unusually large gaps between her fingers, and impatiently urged, "Okay, okay, I've covered my eyes, you two hurry up and kiss."

An Youyu looked at Lin Shu's open hand covering her mouth with her fingers spread out, her expression extremely resentful, but she didn't know what to say.

never mind!

Die or die!

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's neck.

She went from being unfamiliar with this process to becoming familiar with it.

Lin Mo looked down at the delicate red lips so close to his face, then wrapped his arms around her slender waist and kissed her tenderly.

This time, he didn't go too far; he just took a small bite.

As their lips parted, An Youyu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

She thought Lin Mo would bully her severely, but she never expected...

Lin Mo gently rubbed her head, leaned down and breathed warm air into her ear, "The remaining interest will be settled tonight."

Lin Shu watched the two separate so quickly, her eyes filled with disappointment. She couldn't help but complain, "Xiao Mo, are you sure you can handle this? Just one kiss? Kiss a little longer!"

Lin Mo: "..."

He finally understood that his mother could never be serious for even a day.

"Mom, that's enough for you."

He put his arm around the girl's shoulder and said, "Little Fish is shy, so please don't say anything unnecessary. Can you at least consider her feelings?"

Surprisingly, Lin Shu didn't refute, but looked annoyed. "Fine, fine, this will do."

Lin Mo chuckled, looking at An Youyu who was covering her face with her hands beside him, and teased with a laugh: "Little darling, you've already kissed her, and besides, she's not just anyone, she's your future mother-in-law, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

An Youyu tilted her head, giving Lin Mo a look of embarrassment and annoyance, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

Lin Mo shrugged. "We're going down to the ruins today. Before we go down, we definitely need to understand the situation inside the ruins. How can we talk about serious matters with your face covered like that?"

"you……"

Knowing she was in the wrong, An Youyu slowly lowered her hand.

At this moment, her flushed face was the truest reflection of her inner feelings.

Lin Shu lowered her head and chuckled to herself. She contacted Li Zhao and Ye Liu via satellite phone, and soon the two arrived at the tent.

Lin Shu, Li Zhao, and Ye Liu; Lin Shu was the main person in charge, while Li Zhao and Ye Liu were the deputy persons in charge. The three of them were the main people in charge at the archaeological site and the three people who knew the underground site best.

With the three of them taking turns explaining, Lin Mo and An Youyu quickly grasped the general outline of the underground ruins.

The site is roughly the size of four football fields, and is divided into four sections. The three outer sections form a regular shape around the central section. Currently, the archaeological team has only completed the excavation of the three outer sections, leaving only the central section.

After understanding the general situation, Lin Mo was a little puzzled. Pointing to the center of the sand table, he said, "Mom, teachers, this site doesn't cover a large area. Logically speaking, the archaeological work should have ended long ago."

Li Zhao and Ye Liu exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

Lin Shu rolled her eyes in annoyance and waved her hand, "Don't call me Mom anymore, I'll call you Brother, Big Brother. Archaeology isn't as simple as you think, and the middle section of the site is sealed off. We haven't found any way to get in yet, unless we use force to demolish it."

"But violent demolition has too many drawbacks; it can easily cause irreversible damage to the contents inside, understand?"

Li Zhao and Ye Liu looked at each other strangely, unsure of what to say.

A mother calling her son "elder brother"?

This……

As for Lin Mo and An Youyu, they were already used to Lin Shu's unconventional personality and were not too surprised.

"Closed off?"

Lin Mo asked curiously, "What's so enclosed about it?"

"An unknown metal with an absurdly high hardness; even a blasting machine can only leave a faint mark on it."

"Can't we dig a tunnel from below to get in?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's suggestion, Li Zhao replied, "We've tried that method, but the space in the middle area is circular with no blind spots and is completely sealed off. The only way to get in is to break through the unknown metal layer on the outside by force."

Ye Liu nodded in agreement, "This is also the main reason why the work has been suspended. We and your mother do not agree, so we can only report to the Senate and let the Senate make the final decision."

Lin Mo suddenly realized, "Okay, we have a pretty good understanding of the general situation. When can we go down to the ruins?"

Lin Shu chuckled softly, "Anytime is fine."

Lin Mo turned his head and winked at An Youyu, whose eyes were shining, "Ready?"

An Youyu nodded vigorously. "Ready."

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Chapter 822 Go to the Ruins!

Outside the tent, nearly a hundred members of the archaeological team stood around.

The moment the tent flap was lifted, everyone turned to look. They had heard that someone was going down to the ruins today and knew who that person was.

Most members of the archaeological team had heard of Lin Mo and An Youyu. Even those who didn't know them personally had heard a lot about them from other members they did know.

Li Zhao and Ye Liu explained why the two were able to go down to the ruins.

The reason is also very simple.

Lin Mo independently developed a major technological patent and submitted it to the Elders' Council, obtaining the highest level of access.

His purpose was simply because his partner, An Youyu, liked archaeology.

Thanks to the two of them promoting him, in everyone's eyes, Lin Mo is a hopeless romantic, a pure romantic.

Of course, Lin Mo was unaware of these things. When he and An Youyu walked out of the tent side by side, they were surprised to see the crowd around them.

"So many people?"

At the same time, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Mo'an and Youyu at the very back.

Although An Youyu arrived at the archaeological site a few days earlier than Lin Mo, due to Lin Shu's special protection of her, she only went back and forth between her own tent and Lin Shu's tent every day and never showed her face.

After seeing the sunny and handsome Lin Mo, and the stunningly beautiful An Youyu.

The members of the archaeological team present stared wide-eyed, and at the same time, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Be good!"

"Is she really that good-looking?"

"Is this a celebrity? And not just any celebrity, she's so good-looking, like a painting."

"Wow, are all young people this good-looking these days?"

...

Lin Shu was already used to these whispers. She stopped and said, "It seems everyone is very curious. In that case, let me introduce you. This is my son, and this is my future daughter-in-law."

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

"cough…"

Just then, an elderly man nearing sixty stepped out from the crowd. He adjusted his reading glasses and said with a smile, "Captain Lin, they say that like begets like, but your son is much more handsome than you."

Laughter erupted throughout the scene.
