Ultimately, after An Youyu's repeated insistence, they gave her the money.

On the way back, An Youyu was in high spirits, chattering around Lin Mo, asking him questions like whether he liked braised pork or twice-cooked pork.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

An Youyu stopped in her tracks. "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Mo didn't hide anything, "You look a little different than usual."

"Have it?"

"Have."

"What's the difference?"

"Less reserved, more cheerful; this is a good state, keep it up."

An Youyu lowered her head shyly, then resumed her usual demeanor, "Of course I'm happy when there's something delicious to eat."

Lin Mo leaned forward. "Is that the only reason?"

"if not?"

"..."

Lin Mo sighed inwardly.

This girl is truly a maverick among girls.

"Little fish, it's time to go home."

An Youyu stood still, the words "Little Fish" echoing in her ears again and again. She stared blankly at Lin Mo's back, her eyes shimmering and gradually becoming misty.

Lin Mo had only taken a few steps when he realized An Youyu hadn't followed, so he called out without turning around, "Keep up."

"coming."

An Youyu's cheeks were outlined with dimples, like tea brewed from a clear spring, refreshing and delightful.

After catching up with Lin Mo, the two walked side by side.

Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Back to the rental house.

Lin Mo immediately offered to cook, but An Youyu firmly refused.

"No, you're a guest. How can you expect a guest to cook?"

Lin Mo did not compromise. "You tutor me, you pay for my groceries, and then you cook for me? What do I become? A landlord who exploits people?"

"But……"

"No buts, I'll do it."

Lin Mo pointed to the single sofa next to him, "Sit down and rest, hurry up!"

An Youyu pouted.

If I remember correctly, she was the one who owned this place...

Chapter 10 Genius Girl

Seeing Lin Mo's insistence, An Youyu struggled internally for a moment, but finally obediently sat down.

She stared at Lin Mo, who was busy in the kitchen, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

As time went by, drowsiness gradually crept in.

A few rays of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, falling on An Youyu. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she soon fell asleep on the sofa.

Under the sunlight, her fair skin had a crystal-clear appearance.

This scene is like a masterpiece of ancient painting.

Lin Mo emerged from the kitchen, drenched in sweat, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards where An Youyu was.

He deliberately walked lightly, afraid of disturbing An Youyu.

An Youyu's lips were slightly pursed in her sleep, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Ding--"

"An Youyu's loneliness has decreased. Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Reward: 100 nurturing points."

The system's notification sound did not attract Lin Mo's attention.

At this moment, he only had eyes for An Youyu.

This face, so close to his eyes, had appeared in his dreams countless times.

Even though it wasn't the first day of his rebirth, he still felt like he was in a dream, as if it were all a dream.

"Whether it's real or a dream, this time..."

Lin Mo only said half of what he wanted to say.

Whether by coincidence or not, An Youyu seemed to sense something in her sleep; her long eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her eyes.

She was still half asleep and staring blankly, but when she noticed Lin Mo in front of her, she lowered her head again.

Lin Mo's expression instantly returned to normal. "Why are you always looking down?"

An Youyu fiddled with her little finger, "This way, I can avoid making eye contact with others, which will reduce a lot of trouble."

Lin Mo sighed, her voice gentle, "You don't have to do that again."

Beauty can indeed bring a lot of trouble.

An Youyu looked up at Lin Mo, then quickly looked away.

Lin Mo had no other choice but to accept that time heals all wounds and there was plenty of time ahead.

With that in mind, he stopped worrying about it and said, "The food is ready. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation flashed in An Youyu's eyes.

When she came out of the bathroom, four dishes and a soup were laid out on the table.

Then, something awkward happened.

There was only one stool in the house, which meant that one person had to eat standing up.

An Youyu realized the problem just then, and saw Lin Mo carrying two bowls of rice as he walked over.

"You sit, I'll eat standing up."

Lin Mo handed a bowl of rice to An Youyu, saying, "You squatted for too long during tutoring this morning, so this will help relieve the muscle soreness in your legs."

An Youyu wasn't stupid; she shook her head and refused, "No, you're a guest, please sit down."

"obedient."

Lin Mo said two words indifferently, and carried the rice to the other side.

An Youyu opened her lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

Lin Mo smiled and leaned against the wall with his bowl in hand. "Try my cooking. I know you like spicy food, so I put some chili in every dish, but not much. If you think it's not spicy enough, you can add more."

"Thank you."

An Youyu picked up a piece of bamboo shoot stir-fried with pork with her chopsticks.

As soon as she took a bite of the food, her eyes curved involuntarily. "Delicious."

Lin Mo took a couple of bites as a gesture, then kept piling food onto her plate, saying, "Then eat more."

In his previous life, he had always cooked for himself since graduating from university.

His cooking skills, while not quite on par with a five-star chef, are certainly not bad.

Lin Mo looked at An Youyu's chubby cheeks, turned around and poured a glass of water. "Eat slowly, there's plenty more."

pity……

This girl's combat power is terrible!

I burped as soon as I ate half a small bowl of rice.

An Youyu stared at the dishes on the table, wanting to continue eating, but her stomach wouldn't cooperate, and she sighed reluctantly.

Lin Mo saw through her little scheme and chuckled inwardly, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"How about I tutor you every week from now on, and in return, I'll cook for you?"

"OK."

"why not?"

An Youyu didn't speak, she just shook her head.

In fact, Lin Mo knew perfectly well why An Youyu had refused.

The reason can be summed up in one word.

money!

The ingredients for today's meal cost nearly 90 yuan, which is equivalent to An Youyu's salary for two days at the library.

If she eats like this every week, her savings will show a negative growth trend.

Lin Mo wanted to offer to pay for it himself, but he was worried that saying it would hurt An Youyu's pride.

"Tutor me in physics this afternoon."

"…Um."

An Youyu took a sip of water and said in a slightly weaker tone, "Actually, you have a strong learning ability. There are still more than three months until the college entrance examination. As long as you are willing to work hard, your grades will definitely improve a lot."

"I think so."

Faced with Lin Mo's unconventional way of chatting, An Youyu was clearly a little lost and stammered for a while without being able to say anything coherent.

Lin Mo changed the subject, "Little Fish, there's something I want to ask you."
