My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

An Youyu gently shook her head, "I'd rather die than give you money."

His penny-pincher nature is on full display once again.

Lin Mo pouted, "Your words sound nice, and the food you cooked tastes good too."

An Youyu chuckled softly, "Alright, stop teasing me. Let's eat. There's no chili in the food, so it should suit your taste."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Do you think I can't handle spicy food? What a joke!"

"Let me tell you, I can't live without spicy food. I've been giving in to you before. I'm not bragging, but if I were to eat spicy food, you'd have to step aside."

He still seemed unsatisfied and added, "Little Fish, let me tell you, it's only because there are no chili peppers right now. If there were, like ghost peppers, I could eat them raw."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a jade-like hand appeared in front of him.

An Youyu opened her palm, revealing a few small red chilies. "We don't have ghost peppers, just small red chilies. If you want some, have these first. I'll go out and buy some ghost peppers right now..."

She put down her chopsticks and got up to leave.

Lin Mo coughed repeatedly, "Stop!"

At that moment, his face was as black as coal...

An Youyu turned around, her eyes sparkling with laughter, "Still dare to brag?"

Lin Mo quickly shook his head, admitting defeat, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please be merciful and spare my life."

He said this, but his eyes were full of laughter.

With his sharp eyesight, how could he not have noticed the millet pepper in An Youyu's hand?

The reason for all this was to make the beauty smile.

As it turns out, he succeeded!

"it is good."

An Youyu moved a stool over, sat down, put a small chili pepper in her mouth, and swallowed it in no time.

This action made Lin Mo swallow hard.

He dares not speak of anything else, but when it comes to eating spicy food, among all the people he has ever met, no one can rival An Youyu, and no one even has the right to compare with her.

After dinner, An Youyu tidied everything up and went to bed, lying obediently in Lin Mo's arms.

The soft, fragrant, and warm jade in his arms stirred a restlessness within Lin Mo, who kept silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

"Get some rest, you're tired."

"You're tired too."

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, An Youyu didn't speak. She turned around in his arms, pressing her face against his chest, "Then let's both get a good rest today, okay?"

"As ordered."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips as he tightened his grip on her. "Little Yu'er, life and death are things everyone has to go through. Take it easy. At least the Dean didn't leave with regrets. She told me herself that you are her pride."

Hearing this, An Youyu's dim eyes regained some light, and she murmured, "It will always be like this, it will always be like this, I... I won't let the Dean down..."

"Of course!"

Lin Mo said with certainty, "You are An Youyu, my girl, Lin Mo's girl, destined to shine!"

An Youyu snuggled against Lin Mo a couple of times, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you... for letting me meet you."

"Little Fish, these are my words too, and you've already said them, so what am I supposed to say?"

Chapter 838 You're dreaming

"Everything you say is true?"

An Youyu's lips curled up slightly. At this moment, she felt so warm in Lin Mo's arms, and she couldn't help but snuggle closer. "Go to sleep. You're already very tired. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

"That's what they say, but how could I not care? It's human instinct."

Lin Mo squinted and gently stroked the girl's soft black hair. "Little Fish, you must be strong and not be too sad."

"I am very strong..."

"Your eyes are swollen from crying, and you call that being strong?"

Faced with Lin Mo's question, An Youyu's eyes dimmed, "The news of the dean's death was so sudden. Even a person made of iron couldn't withstand such a devastating blow."

"Originally, I went back to Jingchuan this time to share the idea that my mother-in-law was not dead with the hospital director, but who knew..."

As she spoke, her emotions, which had just begun to stabilize, began to show signs of breaking down again.

Startled, Lin Mo quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking further. "Alright, alright, you should rest well and calm yourself down. Tomorrow we'll go see the dean in good spirits, okay?"

"…Um."

After receiving An Youyu's reply, Lin Mo's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

As soon as I relaxed, all the fatigue I had suppressed came rushing back.

In less than a minute, Lin Mo's soft snoring filled the room.

An Youyu looked up at Lin Mo, who was already asleep. After a long while, she slowly closed her eyes, her lips slightly moving, "Thank you for your company..."

Lin Mo slept for fifteen hours. Around four in the morning, he opened his eyes and habitually touched his side.

empty?

In an instant, the lingering sleepiness in Lin Mo's mind vanished, and he sprang out of bed with a somersault.

I quickly put on my shoes and jogged downstairs.

As soon as Lin Mo arrived in the living room, he heard a noise coming from the direction of the kitchen. He strode to the kitchen door and saw An Youyu squatting on the floor wiping it.

Compared to before, the entire kitchen is now clean, tidy, and sparkling bright.

"cough!"

Hearing the noise, An Youyu turned around and noticed Lin Mo outside the door. Her eyebrows involuntarily rose slightly. "You're awake?"

Lin Mo nodded, came up behind her, and pulled her up from the ground. "Why aren't you sleeping at this hour? What are you doing?"

"Cleaning up."

An Youyu put down the rag in her hand. "This house has been uninhabited for too long, and it's covered in dust. I woke up around 7 p.m., and since I had nothing else to do, I looked for something to kill time."

Lin Mo keenly noticed the fine droplets of water clinging to the girl's forehead, and a smirk appeared on his lips. "You haven't been cleaning since around 7 p.m. last night, have you?"

"correct."

An Youyu nodded matter-of-factly, "This villa is huge, there are a lot of places to clean, but the rest of the place has already been cleaned. I'll call it a day after I finish cleaning the kitchen floor."

Lin Mo: "..."

Good guy!

From around 7 p.m. last night until now, a full nine hours have passed. Cleaning may seem like a small task, but it's actually very tiring.

Lin Mo knew this all too well. Before he started practicing martial arts, his mother often used various excuses to make him do housework, the most common of which was mopping the floor. He would be out of breath after mopping the floor in their old house.

What's more, this villa is a real gem. The key point is that An Youyu isn't a shill, she's a slayer!

Wiping is cleaner than mopping, but it's also more tiring.

This idiot!

Before An Youyu could squat down, Lin Mo forcibly pulled her up, saying, "Is this the kind of work you're supposed to do? Can't we just call a cleaner when it gets light?"

"No."

An Youyu shook her head and refused without thinking. She started to do the math on her fingers, "Even if you hire two cleaners for such a big villa, it will take at least three hours to finish. A cleaner costs at least 100 yuan per hour. Plus, since this is a villa, the price will be even higher. A whole cleaning will cost about 1,000 yuan."

"A thousand yuan it is."

Lin Mo smiled wryly, "Little darling, you're not short of money now. The interest you receive every day is more than a thousand yuan. Besides, this is my house. It's my money to hire someone to clean. What are you worried about?"

"Of course it hurts, of course it hurts."

An Youyu pouted slightly, "A thousand yuan can do many meaningful things. We are not short of money now, but even if we had money, we wouldn't spend it like this."

"Money should be spent wisely."

Hearing her response, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, "Little Fish, how do you think money should be spent to be worthwhile?"

An Youyu poked her chin with her little finger, thought for several seconds, and then gave her answer, "Anyway, at least someone will clean up. It's not worth it."

"If you ask others to do everything and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, your life will be too unproductive. Whether you are rich or poor, I think you should do as much as you can do yourself and not be too lazy."

Lin Mo had a terrible headache. "No, isn't the purpose of making money to give myself a better life?"

An Youyu asked softly, "But who said a better life means doing nothing?"

"I……"

Lin Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer the question.

An Youyu suppressed a smile, squatted down, picked up a rag and continued wiping the floor. "Perhaps the kind of life you're talking about is indeed a good life for many people, but I'm not one of them. I find doing these things very enjoyable."

"Happy, huh? Okay, then make me happy too."

Lin Mo snatched the rag from her hand and quickly wiped the floor.

Squeezed to the side, An Youyu puffed out her cheeks slightly and said, "What are you doing? You're a boy, you shouldn't be doing these things. Give them to me, I'll wipe them."

Lin Mo ignored her and sped up the wiping process, finishing in just a few minutes.

"OK!"

"It's done, call it quits!"

An Youyu leaned against the kitchen door frame, a smile playing on her lips. "We're not done yet. There's still the light to clean. By the way, do you know where there's a ladder? The living room light is too high for me to reach."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes. "Can you take a break? Besides, the living room light is so high, you can't reach it even with a ladder!"

An Youyu pouted, "But I want to clean it, there's only the lamp left to clean. A person should finish what they start, right? Can you help me think of a way?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Mo's arm and shook it.
