Chapter 87 The Rebellious Spirit Continues

"Little Fish!"

"what?"

Seeing that Lin Mo's expression was not good, An Youyu was completely confused and couldn't help but stutter when she spoke.

"W-What's wrong? Why are you suddenly being so fierce?"

"I……"

Lin Mo sighed softly, "There are some things you don't understand yet, and I don't blame you; but you must remember in the future that there are two things you can't say to me."

"What?"

"One sentence is what you just said, and the other is: You're not good enough."

An Youyu blurted out, "Why?"

Despite her poverty, she spent her free time either reading or making money.

Apart from attending two computer classes at school, he had never been exposed to the internet and had no idea of ​​the deeper meaning behind Lin Mo's words.

Meeting the girl's curious gaze, Lin Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

Even he felt it wasn't appropriate to explain these things to An Youyu.

How should I put it? It makes me feel inexplicably guilty...

"nothing."

In the end, Lin Mo chose to skip the topic and said, "Come here."

Stepping forward, An Youyu volunteered, "Let me do it."

"I'll do it, you pick the vegetables and cook the rice."

"…oh."

After working for nearly an hour, Lin Mo looked at the generous portions of four dishes and a soup in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. "Done, that's a call for a day."

An Youyu handed over a towel, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I should have done these things."

What do you mean by "it should be your job"?

Lin Mo flicked An Youyu's forehead with displeasure, "I'm a boy, after all. Do you expect a girl like me to do this kind of dirty and tiring work?"

"pain……"

An Youyu covered her forehead, "Cooking isn't dirty or tiring, it's such a happy thing."

"happy?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, truly unable to fathom the girl's thought process.

How can you be happy about something that's full of cooking fumes?

However, he soon understood what the girl meant.

Looking at the smiles on those innocent and tender little faces, Lin Mo felt a surge of emotion and understood the meaning of An Youyu's "happiness." The pity in his eyes deepened.

Zhou Yuqin approached the two of them with a kind smile on her face, "Thank you for your hard work, these children are very happy."

"Dean, the young fish is also very happy."

An Youyu helped Zhou Yuqin sit down at a small table nearby, her eyes filled with concern. "Youyu hasn't been here lately. How is the Dean's health?"

"Do not worry about me."

Zhou Yuqin held An Youyu's hand and said, "You're a good girl in every way, but you're too stubborn. Why do you have to work so hard, going to school and earning money at the same time? I have money."

An Youyu smiled brightly, "Don't worry, Dean, Youyu is doing very well."

As she spoke, she turned to the dozen or so children around the table and asked, "Was today's feast delicious?"

"It's delicious, thank you, sister."

"The food was cooked by my brother, so you can't just thank your sister, you have to thank your brother too."

"Thank you uncle."

Lin Mo: "?"

The process is wrong!

An Youyu is the older sister, so how come she's become the uncle to him?

An Youyu's smile was more radiant than ever before, and her bright, clear eyes drifted toward Lin Mo.

Her smile was like a panacea for all troubles.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and she etched this scene into her heart.

After the meal, An Youyu played with a group of children on the playground.

Upon arriving here, she seemed to have let down all her defenses and revealed her most authentic self.

Lin Mo and Zhou Yuqin stood by the playground, chatting idly.

"Xiao Lin, if possible, I'd appreciate it if you could take better care of Youyu in the future."

Looking at An Youyu in the arena, Zhou Yuqin sighed with heartache, "This girl is too sensible, so sensible that it breaks my heart."

Lin Mo nodded solemnly, "Dean Zhou, don't worry."

Zhou Yuqin's cloudy eyes flickered, and she slowly said, "At the beginning of next month, Youyu will go back to Liangshan to sweep her mother-in-law's grave. If you have time, try to accompany her. My old bones are really too weak to accompany her anymore."

"Tomb sweeping in Liangshan?"

Lin Mo narrowed his dark eyes into slits, recalling everything An Youyu had told him before, and understood.

"Okay, I'll go with her."

Zhou Yuqin patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Youyu is a good girl. If the right time and opportunity come, you must seize it. Of course, you should focus on your studies for now."

Lin Mo bowed slightly. "Dean Zhou, before the college entrance examination, we were just ordinary classmates."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yuqin looked at the boy in front of her with great interest. "And what about after the college entrance examination?"

"We'll only know what will happen in the future; right now... it's hard to say, and we can't be sure."

Hearing Lin Mo's ambiguous answer, Zhou Yuqin couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I personally am quite looking forward to what will happen in the future."

"I'm really looking forward to it too..."

…………

Around 4 PM, outside Baiyu Residential Area.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing An Youyu's black hair and skirt to flutter.

Bathed in sunlight, she bowed gracefully to Lin Mo, saying, "Thank you for today."

From Lin Mo's perspective, the girl was enveloped in a faint golden light, and the undisguised joy in her expression made him laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

"I rarely see you so happy."

"is it?"

An Youyu put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and kicked her jade feet.

Lin Mo suddenly stepped forward, their faces only about a foot apart.

Such a move made An Youyu instinctively want to dodge, but before she could do anything, she heard Lin Mo's questioning voice in her ear.

"Little Fish, I heard from Dean Zhou that you're going to Liangshan to sweep the tombs at the beginning of next month?"

An Youyu looked bewildered. "Why would the dean tell you this? She promised me she wouldn't tell anyone..."

"other people?"

Lin Mo raised his hand and lifted her chin, teasingly saying, "You really have no conscience!"

"what?"

An Youyu was stunned. "I...I...how could I be heartless?"

Lin Mo punched her on the head with his right fist. "We're classmates, classmates, and deskmates, and we even have a teacher-student relationship. Plus, I accompanied you to the orphanage today. In the end, it seems like I'm just an outsider, right?"

An Youyu shook her head in a panic, "No, you misunderstood; I... I didn't treat you as an outsider, I was just a little surprised that the dean would tell you this."

Lin Mo lowered his head and moved closer again, his eyes filled with accusation: "You really don't consider me an outsider?"

"real."

An Youyu stepped back slightly. "If I treated you as an outsider, why would I have told you about my mother-in-law before?"

"That's true."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, a hint of curiosity rising in the depths of his eyes. "Little Fish, since you don't treat me like an outsider, then tell me, what kind of person do you consider me?"

"This one……"

An Youyu frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then cautiously uttered two words, "Classmate?"

"Ok?"

"My deskmate?"

"Ok?"

"good friend?"

After hearing this answer, Lin Mo clicked his tongue and said, "You barely pass."

An Youyu pouted and muttered aggrievedly, "You're the one who always says we're classmates, and now you're blaming Youyu. That's so unreasonable..."

"Unreasonable? That's to be expected."

Lin Mo, without batting an eye, began to shift the blame, "These are all things my mother taught me; you know her personality."
