Lin Mo chuckled, "Don't ask so many questions, I just know."

"As for what results you can achieve in the national competition, I can't say for sure, but with your level, it shouldn't be too bad, and you should be able to get into the top three."

"Top three?"

An Youyu shook her head, "My goal is to be number one, I want to win the gold medal."

Lin Mo immediately became withdrawn.

Why do these words sound so natural coming from An Youyu's mouth?

Lin Shu stroked the girl's long hair. "So confident?"

An Youyu bit her lip. "Auntie, it's not that Youyu is confident."

"what is that?"

"Those questions... were too easy."

"..."

Are the problems from the national-level Mathematical Olympiad problems easy?

Lin Shu clicked her tongue. "Fish, Auntie is really growing to like you more and more."

The warm atmosphere was just beginning when Lin Mo broke it up, "Little Fish, I've accumulated a lot of difficult problems while you've been gone. Can you help me explain them?"

"it is good."

Lin Shu stood up and instructed, "Perfect timing, let Yu'er help you with the questions first, and Mom will go out to order some food."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, giving An Youyu a gentlemanly bow.

"Teacher An, please."

"Don't call me that... I've told you so many times..."

An Youyu muttered under her breath as Lin Mo pushed her toward the room.

This scene deeply moved Lin Shu, stirring up memories buried for many years.

Youth cannot be defined, but no one can deny its beauty.

That dazzling light, which has astonished the world, if unattainable, will surely imprison one's entire life...

Chapter 78 Even without a teacher, I'm still better than you.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, complemented by a sky full of stars.

Under the camphor tree outside the residential area, Lin Mo noticed the four-leaf clover necklace around An Youyu's neck, and his deep eyes flickered.

"Fish..."

"Little Fish!"

An Youyu's soft eyebrows curved down. "Auntie can call me Yu'er, but you... you're not allowed to."

Under the soft moonlight, her eyes shone with a halo, like a mountain stream, possessing an indescribable purity.

"why?"

"There's no reason why, it just doesn't work."

An Youyu quickly shifted her gaze to the side, her deep eyes seemingly possessing a captivating power.

Whenever she met those eyes, her heart would race uncontrollably.

"Okay, then I'll continue to call you Little Fish."

"That's pretty much it..."

Unbeknownst to her, the girl had already accepted the nickname "Little Fish," a fact she hadn't even realized.

"It's getting late, go back and get some rest. See you tomorrow morning."

"…Um."

Seeing Lin Mo preparing to leave, An Youyu mustered her courage and spoke up, "Tuesday... how about we ask for leave to visit the dean?"

After saying that, she seemed to realize that it was inappropriate and quickly added, "If you have a study plan, you can wait until next Saturday or Sunday."

Lin Mo put his foot down again. "So eager?"

"No, it's not."

Seeing the surprised look in Lin Mo's eyes, An Youyu hurriedly denied it, "I just... don't want to break my promise for too long. After all, I promised you before, and I want to finish it as soon as possible."

Hearing the girl's explanation, Lin Mo's lips moved slightly, "You decide, I have no objection."

"Thank you, that's all then... Take care, goodbye."

An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo furtively, then turned and ran into the residential area.

Lin Mo's gaze lingered on the girl's swaying long hair for a long time before he looked away.

Under the moonlight, a resolute look emanated from his gradually lengthening shadow...

On Monday morning, when An Youyu appeared in the classroom, everyone couldn't help but look on with curiosity.

Many girls even went to the back of the classroom to ask An Youyu about the competition.

This scene was witnessed by Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the front row. Her face instantly turned cold. "Tch, it's just a competition, why is everyone acting like this?"

Zhao Tiantian, who was doing practice problems, put down her pen and said with a smile, "That's the Olympic Games. The threshold alone is something that people can only dream of."

"Besides, An Youyu's grades are so good, she will most likely enter the national competition, and may even win an award."

"What good is winning an award?"

Xiao Yu retorted defiantly, "No matter what, she's an orphan. She was born but no one raised her!"

The harsh and sarcastic words were particularly grating.

The classroom fell silent instantly, and many people cast surprised glances at Xiao Yu.

Even if you're not on good terms with your classmates, there's no need to say such hurtful things, right?

An Youyu, who was talking to someone, paused for a few seconds, her gaze falling on Xiao Yu. She smiled apologetically at the girls next to her, "Sorry, I need to take care of my own business first."

After she finished speaking, she stood up.

Lin Mo's voice rang out, "Do you need any help?"

"No need, I can handle it."

An Youyu declined softly and walked towards Xiao Yu's seat.

This scene attracted everyone's attention.

"Xiao Yu, could you repeat what you just said?"

An Youyu's thin body exuded a tenacity, and her eyes rarely showed anger.

That’s right, it’s anger!

Zhao Tiantian quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, "An Youyu, Xiao Yu didn't mean that, don't misunderstand..."

"That's what I meant."

Xiao Yu interrupted Zhao Tiantian, her eyes filled with disdain, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You were an orphan to begin with, someone who never raised you; in my opinion, you might be an illegitimate child, and your mother might be..."

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the classroom.

An Youyu looked down at her numb right hand. This was the first time she had ever hit someone, but she didn't regret it at all. Her soft voice slowly rang out.

"Even without anyone teaching me, I'm still better than you."

Xiao Yu covered her left cheek in a daze, and it took her several seconds to come to her senses. She then said angrily, "You dare to hit me?"

As he spoke, he slapped An Youyu across the face.

An Youyu did not dodge, but looked at Xiao Yu calmly.

Just as Xiao Yu's hand was less than a foot away from An Youyu's face, a large hand firmly grasped Xiao Yu's hand.

The owner of the hand was none other than Lin Mo!

"Let go, you simp!"

Faced with Xiao Yu's insults and attacks, Lin Mo remained unmoved. "Why does No. 2 Middle School have a student like you? An Youyu has never provoked you, yet you keep targeting her, spewing one vicious word after another. Can you please stop being so disgusting?"

"you……"

A sharp pain shot through Xiao Yu's wrist, and her face contorted in agony. "It hurts! Let me go!"

Lin Mo released his hand and shook it off with obvious disgust.

"hiss--"

Xiao Yu looked down at the purple finger marks on her wrist, and in a fit of rage, picked up a book and smashed it into Lin Mo's face.

Lin Mo raised his hand to block, and the book flew back the way it came, hitting Xiao Yu squarely on the bridge of her nose. Instantly, bright red blood flowed down Xiao Yu's nose.

"Blood... Lin Mo, I'm reporting you! You... assaulted a girl!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Mo remained calm. "Everyone saw what happened just now. Xiao Yu verbally abused An Youyu first, which is why An Youyu hit her. I was just here to break up the fight; I didn't lay a hand on her."

"Besides, you threw a book at me, and I wasn't allowed to defend myself? The other students can all testify to what happened just now."

Gu Fan chimed in, "Brother Mo, I can testify."

"I can too."

"Count me in! Xiao Yu really went too far this time!"

"This isn't just excessive, it's downright asking for a beating!"

...

Because of Xiao Yu's arrogant personality, she is not well-liked in Class Two and has basically no friends except for Zhao Tiantian.
