An Youyu pulled Lin Mo out of the milk tea shop and tried to stand on tiptoe to get close to Lin Mo's ear.
Lin Mo responded by slightly bending his knees in agreement.
"Let me tell you a secret. My mother-in-law once said that as long as I keep drinking lemon water, I will definitely be able to see my parents before I turn thirty."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression instantly became extremely interesting.
The Secret...
Are you serious?
Reason told Lin Mo that this so-called secret was just a joke to fool children, but An Youyu's serious and solemn expression made him stop himself from exposing the lie.
The little girl grew up alone, without the company of her relatives, and perhaps this secret is her spiritual support.
There's no need to expose it!
Having something to look forward to will fill you with hope for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo's curiosity about An Youyu's parents intensified once again.
Based on the limited clues available, the mother-in-law mentioned by An Youyu should not be related to her by blood; otherwise, she could not have fabricated such a colossal lie.
He was alive, yet he hid in the darkness, concealing it from An Youyu.
The more you know, the more questions arise...
Chapter 240 Conversion!
Lin Mo is not the type of person who likes to dwell on things.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.
Let's take it one step at a time; the truth will come out eventually!
……
After dinner, Lin Shu took the initiative to come to An Youyu's room.
Raise your hand and knock on the door.
Soon, the door opened.
When An Youyu saw Lin Shu outside the door, a smile appeared on her face, and she hugged her affectionately, "Is there something you need from Auntie?"
"Can't I come to Yu'er's room if there's nothing wrong?"
As she spoke, Lin Shu walked into the room and immediately saw her son in front of the computer. Her eyes lit up with a smile. "Oh, you're here too?"
"It would be abnormal if he/she wasn't there, would it?"
Lin Mo chuckled and replied, then continued studying the materials from the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
An Youyu pulled Lin Shu to sit down on the bedside. Thinking about the dungeon crawling during the day, the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up.
Lin Shu was perceptive and could tell at a glance that the girl was in a good mood.
She probably knows the reason for it.
"Fish, Xiao Mo told me you struck it rich today?"
"Hmm...hey, made a little money."
An Youyu wanted to keep a low profile, but when she thought about how she had earned 11,000 yuan today, a smile involuntarily crept onto her face.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh. "She should smile more. Look how beautiful she looks when she smiles."
An Youyu lowered her head shyly and explained in a low voice, "Today's incident was mainly thanks to Lin Mo. If he hadn't told me the information, I wouldn't have known about those two escape room shops at all."
Lin Shu glanced at her son's back and said, "In that case, you should thank him properly."
The deeper meaning behind the words is particularly evident.
Lin Mo, who was studying his major, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he heard this.
An Youyu nodded quickly, "I treated him to lemonade this afternoon."
Lin Shu wasn't worried when he saw that the girl hadn't grasped the deeper meaning of his words.
There are some things that are not suitable for her to get involved in.
Things between young people should be left to them to manage; forcibly interfering is likely to have the opposite effect.
Lin Shu changed the subject, "Yu'er, you've been reading a lot of books on antique restoration lately, haven't you?"
"Yes, I watch it every day."
An Youyu's eyes gleamed with gratitude. Her obtuseness was limited to relationships between men and women. On the second morning after moving into the Lin family's house, she had already realized the value of the antique books on one wall of the room.
Lin Shu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Auntie came today to test your reading results."
"Auntie will ask you three questions. If you can answer them all, starting tomorrow, we'll begin trying the most basic antique restoration. How about it? Are you interested in Auntie's suggestion?"
An Youyu's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
Lin Shu noticed the girl's change and was quite puzzled: "What's wrong? Aren't you interested?"
"No, it's not."
An Youyu's face showed a lot of struggle. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke her mind, "Auntie, antique restoration is very expensive. Maybe we should just give up and try it with the school's resources after Youyu goes to university."
Items that can be called antiquities all come from the pre-Xia calendar era.
Furthermore, due to the limited understanding of the pre-Lunar New Year era, items from that period are generally quite expensive.
Although she had read many books about antiques, she had never actually done any restoration herself, and she was worried about making a mistake.
She couldn't afford to pay the compensation...
Lin Shu was unaware of the girl's thoughts, so after hearing her answer, the look of confusion on her face deepened. "If you're not uninterested, then why do you look so unwilling?"
An Youyu stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer.
At the critical moment, Lin Mo got up and sat down at the foot of the bed. "Mom, Xiaoyuer is probably afraid of breaking things. She's worried that she can't afford to pay for them."
After saying that, he winked at An Youyu, "Is that right?"
"…Um."
An Youyu responded in a barely audible voice.
Lin Shu suddenly realized, took An Youyu's small hand, and smiled broadly. "Don't worry, it's okay if you break it. Everyone makes mistakes the first time they try to repair something, but we can't just not try because we're afraid of making mistakes, right?"
"There has to be a first time for everything. You can never improve if you don't try."
At this point, her voice softened considerably, "Fish, you can rest assured, Auntie will take responsibility for any damage."
"But……"
An Youyu bit her lip, "Auntie, Youyu already owes you so much; if this continues, Youyu may never be able to repay your kindness."
"Nonsense."
Lin Shu feigned displeasure and said, "You don't owe Auntie anything, in fact, Auntie feels she owes you something."
"what?"
An Youyu stared blankly, mouth agape, and looked up in disbelief.
Did Lin Shu owe her?
Where does this even begin...?
Lin Mo turned his head slightly, his expression quite strange.
As expected, the next step is...
Fooling!
Under the girl's gaze, Lin Shu smiled and recounted as if reciting a familiar story: "Ever since Yu'er moved here, I've been incredibly happy every day."
“I used to tell Xiao Mo a lot: ‘You can’t buy happiness with a thousand pieces of gold.’ Compared to the things I provide for you, which have a price, the happiness you bring me is priceless. So, when you put it that way, don’t I owe you something?”
Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he secretly cursed in his heart.
How come she's even better at bluffing than him?
Indeed, experience is the best teacher!
Completely bewildered by Lin Shu's explanation, An Youyu asked, "Auntie, you can't convert it like that, can you?"
"Why not?"
Lin Shu pressed her advantage, saying, "Fish, if you can give a reasonable explanation, then Auntie is wrong. If you can't, then it proves that Auntie's conversion method is correct."
An Youyu: "..."
A suitable reason?
I can't explain it!
But she still believed that Lin Shu's method of conversion was wrong. She was the one who received Lin Shu's help, so how could it be that Lin Shu owed her in the end?
wrong!
Definitely not!
"Auntie, you can't calculate it like that."
Seeing the girl's insistence, Lin Shu gave her son a casual look and said, "Since we have different opinions, let's adopt the fairest method."
"any solution?"
"vote."
"it is good!"
An Youyu's gaze fell on Lin Mo, who was sitting at the foot of the bed. She firmly believed that Lin Mo could distinguish right from wrong and that he would stand on her side.
Lin Mo sighed inwardly.
This girl is still too naive!
Lin Shu casually reminded him, "Xiao Mo, you should think this through carefully. Your vote can be very decisive."
“Auntie, you can’t threaten Lin Mo, that’s not fair.”
