However, Yan Shiming had no intention of explaining, and after making the arrangements, he turned and left.
With her head down and carrying her schoolbag, An Youyu took almost a minute to walk a distance of only about ten meters under the watchful eyes of dozens of people.
Once she reached Gu Fan's seat, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Mo smiled enigmatically, "So nervous?"
"I'm... nervous."
An Youyu lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Mo's gaze.
At this moment, many classmates were still paying attention to this side, and she didn't want anyone to misunderstand.
The smile in Lin Mo's eyes deepened. He pushed the workbook in front of An Youyu, circled a math problem on it with his pen, and teased in a low voice, "Teacher An, could you please explain this problem to me?"
"You...don't call me Teacher An."
If Lin Mo hadn't had better hearing, he really wouldn't have been able to hear what An Youyu was saying; her voice was so soft that it was negligible.
Lin Mo lost interest in teasing her anymore. "Take a break first, we'll talk about the problem later."
"…Um."
At this moment, two pairs of eyes were fixed on the corner where Lin Mo and An Youyu were.
Zhao Tiantian bit her lip hard, scribbling haphazardly on the test paper with her pen, her feelings a mix of emotions.
The other person was Zhou Wenhao, whose eyes were filled with both resentment and despair.
Ever since Lin Mo caught him red-handed, he knew he had no way to deal with Lin Mo anymore.
Now, seeing An Youyu and Lin Mo become deskmates, he felt nothing but helplessness.
Time passed quietly.
Near the end of the third period in the afternoon, a man and a woman appeared at the classroom door.
The head of the Olympic training program!
Upon learning that the two were taking An Youyu to special training, Lin Mo handed her the two hundred-plus yuan in cash from his pocket without hesitation.
An Youyu looked down at the banknotes in her hand, lost in thought: "Why...why are you giving me money?"
"Take this money. After you leave the school, have them take you home. Bring a couple more sets of clothes. If you don't like the food there, just bear with it for now. When you come back from the competition, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"you……"
This extremely thoughtful care reminded An Youyu of her deceased mother-in-law, and her eyes welled up with tears. Afraid that Lin Mo would notice, she quickly lowered her head. "Thank you. I promised to take you to see the dean, but I'm afraid I have to break my promise. I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?"
Lin Mo chuckled, "We can visit you when you get back. Don't overthink it. Just stay calm and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Rankings aren't important."
"Ah."
An Youyu slung her backpack over her shoulder, pointed to the classroom door, and asked, "Shall I go?"
"come on."
"I will."
Lin Mo only looked away after An Youyu's figure disappeared at the classroom door, a hint of melancholy in his expression.
It's a pity I didn't get a spot in this competition, otherwise...
Oh well, what's done is done.
There's no use thinking about this anymore; we still need to keep working hard!
The school bell rang, and after the teacher left, Lin Mo called out to Zhou Wenhao.
Zhou Wenhao nervously approached the back of the classroom, his voice trembling with tension. "Lin...Lin Mo, you were looking for me?"
Lin Mo put away his study materials. "I lost the bet last time, the bet..."
"No need to comply."
Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, Zhou Wenhao interrupted.
Lin Mo was surprised and glanced at Zhou Wenhao. "I didn't mean to renege on the debt. A loss is a loss. You'd better think about it again. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be your only chance to embarrass me. You might as well miss this opportunity."
"Don't think about it."
Zhou Wenhao smiled apologetically, "The bet is null and void. Let's pretend this never happened."
Lin Mo did not insist on this.
He wouldn't stoop to renege on his debt, but he wouldn't go so far as to embarrass himself in front of the whole class.
Since Zhou Wenhao took the initiative to request that the bet be nullified, he was happy to accept it.
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
As Lin Mo passed by Zhou Wenhao, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't have any ulterior motives towards your classmates in the future. Healthy competition is fine, but it's best not to use underhanded methods. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely remember it."
Zhou Wenhao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, straightened his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will never make the same mistake again."
"gone."
Only after Lin Mo left the classroom did Zhou Wenhao breathe a sigh of relief, wipe the sweat from his forehead, and look extremely bitter.
Lin Mo has something on him, and if he tries to embarrass Lin Mo, isn't that just asking for trouble?
Now, he no longer wants to compete with Lin Mo for anything, nor does he dare to offend Lin Mo. He just wants the college entrance examination to come quickly, and once he gets to university, he will be free from this sea of suffering.
……
That evening, after learning that An Youyu had gone to participate in the competition alone, Lin Shu's first reaction was to ask his son a pointed question: "Are you stupid?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"As far as I know, most of the students in the special training class are boys. How can you let Yu'er go alone?"
"I……"
"Can't you go with her?"
Seeing his mother's fierce expression, Lin Mo smiled wryly, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go."
"Didn't you get almost 700 points this time?"
"You can't go, you're not qualified."
After a brief silence, Lin Shu sighed softly, got up, and went back to her room.
Lin Mo sat alone on the sofa for a long time before finally letting out a deep sigh.
There are many times in life when we feel powerless, but we can reduce the occurrence of such situations through hard work.
and so……
Only by becoming stronger can you relieve your worries!
Chapter 75 Born with a Rebellious Spirit
For the rest of the time, Lin Mo's mind was filled with nothing but reviewing, reviewing, and more reviewing.
School and home, a life of just two points!
Lin Mo even considered taking leave from school to save time on the road, but considering the occasional difficulties he might encounter, he ultimately decided against it.
On Friday afternoon, as the school bell rang, Lin Mo looked up blankly at the empty seat on his left, and his heart skipped a beat.
Time is magical; it can be both fast and slow...
"Mom, I'm back."
No one answered.
Lin Mo was already used to this situation. He went to the kitchen, took out some food from the refrigerator, heated it up, ate a few bites, and went back to his room to continue studying.
Around 10 p.m., the sound of a door closing interrupted Lin Mo's thoughts. He got up and went to the door, where he saw his mother changing her shoes. "Mom, did you just get off work?"
Compared to before, Lin Shu now feels no pressure at all when her son asks her about work. "Am I disturbing your studies?" she'd reply.
"No."
Lin Mo stretched and said, "I'm tired, let's take a rest."
As he spoke, he went to the coffee table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to his mother, his words carrying a hint of probing, "What kind of company lets us go home so late? Are all companies these days exploiting their employees like this?"
Lin Shu was well aware of her son's little scheme, and a hint of teasing appeared on her gentle face. "Want to know what kind of work Mom does?"
"think."
"What a beautiful thought!"
"..."
Lin Mo complained, somewhat speechless, "Mom, your son is all grown up now, can't you be a little more mature?"
"Alright, you should be content."
Lin Shu took the water and sat down. "You haven't seen your mother when she was young. Back then... In short, your mother's edges have been smoothed out by reality."
Lin Mo tugged at it with difficulty, "Is this what you call smoothing out the rough edges?"
"Correct."
Lin Shu put down her water glass. "If I were younger, I would have punched you just now."
林默哭笑不得,“别动不动就揍儿子,从小到大,我也算听话吧?咱就是说,能不能给儿子一点正常的母爱?”
“揍,也算母爱。”
Lin Shu smiled and rolled up her sleeves. "Spare the rod and spoil the child. Come here, let your mother love you properly. I promise you'll never forget it."
Lin Mo raised his hands in surrender, "Mom, I was wrong, okay?"
Lin Shu glanced at her son and suddenly sighed, "Silly boy, Mom knows you've been working hard and diligently lately; but this is just the beginning. You need to get used to this rhythm of life."
"why?"
"You're such a talented girl, if you don't work hard, do you expect to live off your husband?"
