An Youyu was wearing a loose pink tracksuit, even her shoes were pink, which, combined with her pretty pink face and low ponytail, made her look even better.
It exudes youthfulness and girlish charm.
Approaching Lin Mo, An Youyu twirled around and asked, "Is this outfit alright? Isn't it a bit too casual?"
"pretty good."
Lin Mo stood up and hugged her, unable to resist kissing her cheek. "My girlfriend is naturally beautiful, she looks good in anything..."
Finally, he chuckled softly, "Of course, you look good even without wearing anything."
"you……"
An Youyu pinched Lin Mo's waist, glaring at him with shame and indignation, "You clearly promised not to talk nonsense anymore, but you didn't keep your word."
Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Little Fish, that's just my personality, it's hard to change. Besides, you know me, I only tease you verbally, I've never done anything real."
Her explanation, full of grievance, made An Youyu chuckle. "Isn't verbal teasing enough? What else are you planning to do?"
Lin Mo lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his deep voice filled with an indescribable ambiguity, "What else can I do? Of course, I'll... take advantage of you completely."
An Youyu leaned against Lin Mo's chest, her head tilted back.
At that moment, even her ears turned red.
"Alright, let's get going."
Hearing the girl's words, Lin Mo's expression turned serious, and he lost his joking mood. He took her delicate hand and said, "Okay, let's go."
More than ten minutes later, the two got into a taxi outside the residential area.
As soon as he got into the car, Lin Mo secretly handed the driver a piece of paper.
The driver glanced back in surprise, and after receiving a nod of approval from Lin Mo, he didn't say anything and started the car.
Looking at the familiar buildings around her, An Youyu was especially happy. After a while, she looked away, leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder, and whispered, "Do you think the dean would be shocked if he knew that Grandma was still alive?"
Lin Mo's eyes flickered with a mixture of light and shadow. After a two-second silence, he gave his answer, "No."
An Youyu blinked, puzzled. "Why?"
"because……"
Lin Mo took a deep breath. "The dean already knew that Grandma was still alive."
An Youyu's mouth dropped open, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Huh?"
Chapter 836 Oh, poor girl!
"I'm not lying to you, the hospital director really knows that Grandma is still alive."
Meeting the girl's astonished gaze, Lin Mo repeated what he had just said.
The first time he heard about Lan Ying was from Zhou Yuqin. Although her description of Lan Ying was somewhat vague, it was clear that she knew Lan Ying was alive.
When An Youyu saw the serious look in Lin Mo's eyes, her brain seemed to freeze.
Did the hospital director know that the mother-in-law was still alive?
This……
impossible!
If that's the case, then why has the dean never mentioned this to me?
Lin Mo observed An Youyu's slightly changing expression and knew what she was thinking. His deep and gentle voice slowly rang out, "Don't doubt anything, I didn't lie to you."
"I do not believe……"
An Youyu pouted, "If the director knew that Grandma was still alive, he would definitely have told me."
"She can't tell you."
"why?"
"Because it's my mother-in-law's request."
A flash of memory crossed Lin Mo's eyes. "Dean Zhou said that my mother-in-law would transfer money to the orphanage's account every now and then, and asked her not to reveal anything about herself."
"Really?"
After Lin Mo's explanation, An Youyu could accept it.
After all, since her mother-in-law could bear to be separated from her for ten years, it makes much more sense to keep the news from her.
"hateful!"
An Youyu waved her hand angrily, "The dean actually kept this from me for so long. When I see her, I'll pretend to be angry and make her anxious. Yes, that's it."
Lin Mo's expression darkened, "Little Fish..."
"Ok?"
Noticing the unusual tone in Lin Mo's voice, An Youyu looked up at him in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Lin Mo placed his hands on her shoulders, hesitated for a while, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the truth. "No, it's nothing. We'll talk about it after we get off the bus."
Seeing Lin Mo acting so strangely, An Youyu's eyes showed even more confusion. She glanced at the driver in front of her and leaned closer to Lin Mo.
"It's okay, you can tell me secretly what's wrong. Why are you unhappy?"
"because……"
"Ugh?"
Lin Mo had just opened his mouth when An Youyu interrupted him, staring at the scenery outside the car window with a look of confusion on her face.
This isn't the way to the orphanage!
"Lin Mo, didn't you tell Master where we're going?"
Lin Mo's voice remained completely unchanged. "I told you."
An Youyu asked the driver who was driving ahead, "Sir, have we taken the wrong road?"
The driver shook his head. "No, I went exactly to the address this young man gave me. There's no mistake."
As a taxi driver, I've carried countless passengers and seen all sorts of people.
Some things don't need to be said explicitly; he understands them without them needing to be explicitly stated.
He had overheard the conversation between the two young men and had a general idea of what was going on.
"Just sit tight, little girl, I'll make sure you get to your destination safely."
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, the driver knows the way well, he probably took a shortcut."
Upon hearing this, An Youyu frowned slightly. "Really?"
There's clearly only one road to the orphanage!
However, since Lin Mo had already said that, she couldn't say anything more.
A few minutes later, An Youyu suddenly saw the road sign and frowned again.
Qingyun Road?
You must have gone the wrong way!
She tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve and said very seriously, "We've taken the wrong road. This is Qingyun Road, which is in the opposite direction from the orphanage."
"Yes."
Lin Mo did not meet An Youyu's gaze, but lowered his head, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. "Little Yu'er, we are not going to the orphanage now. Before we go to the orphanage, I want to take you somewhere."
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought I had taken the wrong turn."
An Youyu's eyes showed a hint of reproach, and then she asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"It will be kept secret for now."
Hearing Lin Mo say that, An Youyu pursed her lips slightly, "Always so mysterious, whatever, I'll know when we get there anyway."
8:43 a.m.
The car was parked outside the western suburbs cemetery.
An Youyu's eyes widened as soon as she got out of the car. She turned to look at Lin Mo, who was paying the bill, her face showing a look of unspoken words.
After paying the fare, Lin Mo turned around and noticed the girl's strange expression. He took two steps forward, held her small hand, and said, "Little Fish, I'm taking you to meet an elder."
"elder?"
An Youyu cautiously guessed, "Could it be... Grandpa and Grandma?"
Lin Mo had told her before that his grandparents had passed away a long time ago when he was just over a year old. Considering the cemetery in front of her, that's why she made this guess.
Lin Mo pursed his thin lips and did not answer, leading her into the cemetery.
As he passed by rows of tombstones, he gently comforted them, saying, "Don't be afraid."
An Youyu shook her head slightly, "I'm not afraid. Everyone dies eventually, and we will all become one of them sooner or later."
Lin Mo's eyes held a complex mix of emotions as he led An Youyu deep into the cemetery, finally stopping in front of a grave. "We're here."
An Youyu looked up, her rosy face instantly turning deathly pale, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably as if struck by lightning.
Noticing the girl's pale face, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
The tombstone in front of the two people clearly reads "Tomb of Zhou Yuqin".
"This...this isn't real..."
"Lin Mo, you're joking with me, right?"
Lin Mo's strange behavior along the way, coupled with his promise to take her to meet an elder at the cemetery entrance, all these things combined to make An Youyu's tears fall uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Lin Mo looked at the glimmer of hope in the girl's eyes, his voice a little hoarse, "Little Fish, how can you joke about matters of life and death?"
Upon hearing this, An Youyu's tears flowed like a burst dam, soaking her clothes. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the stone slab on the ground. "It's fake, it must be fake. We even went to see the Dean before going to the capital. She was perfectly fine then, how could she... how could she..."
Seeing her so heartbroken, Lin Mo felt extremely distressed and wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.
Although Zhou Yuqin and An Youyu are not related by blood, she raised An Youyu for ten years. An Youyu is eighteen years old this year. If we exclude the ignorant years before the age of five, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Yuqin's shadow has almost permeated most of An Youyu's life.
In An Youyu's heart, she had long regarded Zhou Yuqin as an elder.
