Lin Mo shook his head. "Mom, starting this month, you don't need to give me any pocket money."

"why?"

Lin Shu looked curious.

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, "Tutoring costs money, and I don't want you to work too hard."

Upon hearing the word "hard work," a strange look flashed across Lin Shu's face, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's alright, take the money. How can a boy be without money?"

"When you go out with your classmates in the future, it's fine if it's male classmates, but what if it's female classmates? You can't expect the girls to pay, can you?"

"Mom, I've told you so many times, that girl and I are just normal classmates. Can you please stop overthinking it?"

"Who's overthinking it?"

Lin Shu smiled, "Did I say anything just now? Aren't you just feeling guilty?"

"I……"

Lin Mo sighed, "Mom, this girl classmate of mine is timid. When she comes to our house for tutoring, please don't say anything out of line."

Lin Shu clicked her tongue, "It's not even a hint yet, and they're already protecting each other?"

Official criticism is the most lethal.

Lin Mo had a headache and didn't dare to continue the conversation. "Mom, keep this money. There's still some pocket money left over from the allowance I used to receive."

"Here you go, just take it."

Lin Shu blurted out, "Your mother isn't short of money..."

As soon as she said it, she seemed to realize she had misspoke and added without changing her expression, "Mom is short of big money, not this kind of small amount."

Lin Mo's gaze held a profound meaning. "Mom, what exactly do you do for a living?"

He didn't figure this out until he was forty years old in his previous life.

Whenever the topic of her mother's work comes up, she either falls silent or changes the subject.

"Why are you asking this? It's not like Mom can't afford to raise you."

Lin Mo's mother's answer was exactly the same as he remembered.

He silently put away the two hundred yuan on the coffee table and gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

"Going to study."

"go Go."

Seemingly afraid that Lin Mo would ask about work again, Lin Shu quickly waved her hand.

Until the sound of the door closing came, Lin Shu sat alone on the sofa, her expression extremely complicated, and a rare look of guilt appeared in her eyes.

A sigh slowly rose in the air.

……

Before we knew it, it was late at night.

After finishing his review, Lin Mo intended to go straight to sleep.

He had just lain down in bed when he inadvertently glanced at the mini calendar on the bedside table.

The next second, his eyes widened instantly, and he jumped out of bed.

In his haste, he didn't even bother to put on his slippers and sat back down in front of the computer barefoot.

His pupils contracted violently when he saw the date in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

April 1st?

Chapter 18 We Must Not Let Our Youth Go to Waste

Jingchuan is located in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom, and has a warm climate.

Under normal circumstances, summer will fully begin from the end of March, and the scorching weather will continue until the end of October.

There was even a joke.

The summer season in Jingchuan is exceptionally long.

The weather is normal, though.

The remaining two things, however, seem rather unusual.

April 1st?

There are still more than three months until the college entrance examination?

With that in mind, Lin Mo quickly searched online for the start date of this year's college entrance examination.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is scheduled to begin on July 8th.

But in my previous life it was June 8th!

Why was it delayed by a month?

Lin Mo sat blankly in front of the computer, thinking for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"Forget it, never mind it."

Lin Mo doesn't like to get stuck on things; if she can't figure it out, she's too lazy to dwell on it.

At least, apart from the college entrance examination being postponed by a month, nothing else seems out of the ordinary.

The sun rises in the east, and sunlight streams through the window onto the bed.

Lin Mo woke up, got dressed, and washed up.

Because he went to school much earlier these past few days, Lin Shu also got up much earlier than before.

Lin Mo came out of the bathroom and noticed the steaming breakfast on the living room dining table.

Hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, he called out, "Mom, stop fussing, come and eat."

After a while, Lin Shu brought two poached eggs to the table and made a smug gesture, "Try your mother's cooking."

Lin Mo looked at the dark fried egg, then lowered his head imperceptibly. "Can I not eat it?"

Actually, Lin Shu was a very good cook, but for some reason, she always burned her fried eggs, making them look like a culinary disaster.

In his previous life, Lin Mo suffered a lot.

This time, Lin Mo told herself that she had to learn to say no.

Lin Shu's smile vanished. "No, I made this one much better than last time. Can't you give me some encouragement?"

Upon hearing the word 'encouragement,' Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Mom, some things don't necessarily have to be done well. If we can't do them well, we can choose to give up."

He said that, picked up the bag of milk in front of him, and strode away.

As Lin Mo reached the door, he turned around and waved the milk in his hand. "Mom, I think the milk can be strawberry flavored from now on."

"Click——"

The moment the door closed, Lin Shu finally realized what was happening and gritted her teeth, saying, "You brat, if you don't eat these two fried eggs now, you'll have to eat them tonight!"

As she spoke, she remembered her son mentioning changing the flavor of milk, and a smile appeared on her face.

How did this guy know she likes strawberries?

Not bad!

Because he got up later than the previous two days, Lin Mo jogged all the way after leaving the residential area.

outside the community.

An Youyu, dressed in her school uniform, stood under the willow tree, her waist-length hair tied in a low ponytail, holding a thick, tattered ancient book, her bright eyes filled with seriousness.

Suddenly, a fist landed on her head, startling her so much that her hand trembled and she almost dropped the book.

Only after discovering it was Lin Mo did the fear in her eyes dissipate, replaced by a hint of inexplicable annoyance.

Lin Mo coughed dryly, "Be careful next time."

An Youyu didn't say anything, put away her book and walked towards the school.

Lin Mo walked on the outside of the sidewalk with a smile on his lips. "Little Fish, I thought you would go to school alone. I didn't expect you to wait for me."

An Youyu stopped, glanced at Lin Mo, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

"Ding--"

"Courage is the measure of the size of the soul. Please participate in the class basketball game this afternoon, and have An Youyu bring you water during the game."

Lin Mo felt a headache coming on when he heard the task prompt in his mind.

Given An Youyu's shy nature, getting her to bring him water in front of everyone would be an impossible task.

Moreover, there will definitely be a lot of people at the class competition.

An Youyu is the goddess in the hearts of all the boys at No. 2 Middle School. Why would she bring him water?

That scene is simply unimaginable!

As Lin Mo followed behind An Youyu, he mentally complained, "System, you can't be this rip-off."

The system was arrogant and did not respond.

Lin Mo could only accept this fact, his thoughts racing.

Enter the classroom.

When Zhou Wenhao saw Lin Mo acting as if nothing had happened, he was completely taken aback.

Shouldn't it?

While Zhou Wenhao was looking at Lin Mo, Lin Mo was also looking at Zhou Wenhao.

He had already suspected Zhou Wenhao was the mastermind behind what happened after school yesterday, and now, seeing Zhou Wenhao's expression, he had his final answer.

Lin Mo stopped in front of Zhou Wenhao's desk, placed his hands on the table, and chuckled softly, "Are you disappointed to see that I'm alright?"

Startled by being exposed, Zhou Wenhao panicked. "W-what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You don't understand, do you?"
