My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"That brat... Li Wenhao, I will never let him get away with this!"

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh, thinking to himself, "This Sun Zhouyu is quite cunning... no, quite clever."

Regardless of what he was thinking, he didn't show it on the surface and said seriously, "Gu Fan, have you forgotten what I just told you?"

"what?"

“You are in danger of bloodshed recently; it is all the will of Heaven. If you take revenge on Sun…Li Wenhao just now, you will be going against the will of Heaven. Be careful of retribution.”

"what?"

Gu Fan didn't believe in these things, but after what had just happened, coupled with Lin Mo's realistic acting, he suddenly felt a little uncertain. "Brother Mo, we can't just let ourselves get beaten up for nothing, can we?"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing."

Lin Mo continued to deceive, "Who told you to be so pretentious just now, comparing yourself to Pan An; this is karma. Okay, wipe your nosebleed first, let's pretend this never happened."

"But...it's so frustrating!"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing."

"..."

After being repeatedly swayed by Lin Mo, Gu Fan said with a hint of skepticism, "This is too effective! I just showed off and got beaten up? Damn!"

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh and patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "So, try to be less pretentious in the future."

Gu Fan sighed with a troubled expression, recalling the purpose of finding Lin Mo, and continued the previous topic, "Brother Mo, since you're not interested in An Youyu, then don't stop me from pursuing her; okay?"

"Dating is prohibited at school."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes. "If you dare to pursue An Youyu, I'll report you to Teacher Yan."

"..."

Meeting Gu Fan's resentful gaze, Lin Mo left without a word.

"Young man, read more books and newspapers, eat fewer snacks and sleep more."

Chapter 84 Before the Lunar Calendar

At the school gate, Lin Mo turned his head and glanced around. After confirming that Gu Fan hadn't followed, he burst into unrestrained laughter.

Everything was such a coincidence; indeed, stories don't happen without coincidences!

Lin Mo hummed a little tune as he returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother and An Youyu chatting and laughing on the sofa.

"what's the topic?"

An Youyu blinked. "Auntie is talking about things from when you were little. It's really interesting. Do you want to listen?"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked at her mother, "Mom, did you say something you shouldn't have?"

"Shouldn't have said that? What do you mean? Mom doesn't understand."

Although Lin Shu said that, she couldn't stop smiling.

Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he sat down next to An Youyu, his tone carrying a hint of probing.

"What did my mother tell you?"

Because the two were standing too close, An Youyu blushed slightly and moved closer to Lin Shu. "No, I didn't say anything. Auntie took me shopping today, and she gave me another set of clothes."

While they were talking, she kept stealing glances at Lin Mo's expression, as if she was afraid that Lin Mo would get angry.

Both mother and son noticed this little gesture.

Lin Shu hugged the girl tightly. "Don't be so cautious. If Auntie gives you something, just accept it. If this boy dares to say anything, Auntie will break his legs."

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, do we really have to be so harsh? Don't I even have the right to speak?"

After saying that, he smiled slightly at An Youyu, "Little Yu'er, my mom gave you something, just accept it; don't overthink it."

"But……"

An Youyu hesitated, her soft voice tinged with fear, "Youyu did nothing wrong, she shouldn't accept something for nothing."

"Who said you didn't do anything?"

Lin Mo smiled and looked up at his mother. "Mom, the results of the Olympic competitions have been released. Have you seen the news?"

"It's already been announced?"

Lin Shu looked surprised. "I was so busy playing with Yu'er today that I forgot about this. How are Yu'er's grades?"

"Gold Medal in Mathematics"

"..."

As Lin Mo expected, her mother fell silent after hearing An Youyu's competition results.

Faced with this impressive achievement, An Youyu remained calm, saying, "Gold medal? Just as I guessed."

After hearing the girl's mutterings, Lin Mo asked, "Little Fish, can you even guess this?"

"of course can."

An Youyu answered matter-of-factly, "After finishing the test, I checked it several times, and there were no mistakes."

Lin Shu took two deep breaths and took An Youyu's hand. "You got a perfect score on the mock exam, won the gold medal in the annual literary magazine for your essay, and now you've won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad. You're much better than those academic superstars on TV."

Faced with Lin Shu's praise, An Youyu shook her head shyly, "Auntie, please don't say that. Youyu just learns things quickly, but she's not that amazing."

"How can it not be impressive?"

Lin Shu naturally didn't take the girl's modesty seriously and exclaimed, "Winning a gold medal in the competition is equivalent to getting a special admission spot at Tsinghua University. What are you going to do?"

"I……"

An Youyu looked a little lost. After a moment of silence, she shook her head honestly. "Auntie, I haven't thought about it either. Actually... I want to take the college entrance exam normally."

Lin Shu's eyes held a deeper meaning. "Then give up the special admission spot."

Upon hearing this, both An Youyu and Lin Mo were stunned.

As the premier university in Xia Kingdom, Tsinghua University's special admission quotas are treasured by countless students, with many fighting tooth and nail for them every year.

give up?

This……

An Youyu spoke weakly, "Auntie, is giving up... not a good idea..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just one spot."

Lin Shu said casually, "Since Yu'er wants to take the college entrance examination, then let her take it; anyway, it wouldn't be difficult for you to get into Tsinghua University with your grades. So why can't you be a little willful?"

Even so, giving up the special admission quota at Tsinghua University is not a good decision.

Lin Mo's eyes held a deeper meaning. "Mom, there were other people who gave up special admission spots at Tsinghua University before, and they performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination afterward, but Tsinghua University still rejected them; you should know about this, right?"

"know."

Lin Shu smiled calmly, "So what?"

Lin Mo forced a smile. "Tsinghua University is the top university in the country, with a very high standard. If Xiaoyuer gives up this special admission spot, I'm afraid she will repeat the same mistake that person made a few years ago."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Lin Shu was quite confident: "Unless the people in Tsinghua University's admissions office have lost their minds, they would never give up on Yu'er."

"why?"

Lin Mo sensed something unusual in her mother's answer.

No one knows a mother better than her child.

Although my mother has a rather unconventional personality, she would never have said those words without absolute certainty.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, because even if I don't, you'll find out soon enough."

Lin Shu had a faint smile on her lips, then changed the subject: "Do you two know anything about the Xia Li Qian period?"

Before the lunar calendar?

Lin Mo shook his head. There are very few records of the Xia calendar in the present world, only a few words.

An Youyu looked on with a look of reminiscence. When she worked at the library, she had read many ancient books, which occasionally mentioned things about the time before the lunar calendar.

Of course, even when it is mentioned, it is very limited!

The history before the Xia calendar is like a fog, shrouded by a mysterious force.

Lin Shu brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke slowly, “I am very interested in the history before the Xia calendar. Over the years, I have found a lot of things from before the Xia calendar and have learned some things about it.”

Lin Mo's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "What is it?"

"In the period before the Xia calendar, the Xia Kingdom was very powerful and its level of technological civilization was outstanding. As for the specific level it reached, I don't know."

Lin Shu said solemnly, "However, I am certain of one thing."

"what's up?"

Before the Chinese calendar, the level of technology mastered by humankind far exceeded that of today.

"what?"

Lin Mo and An Youyu were completely confused.

Can technology regress?

Lin Shu naturally understood their thoughts, and his tone was filled with helplessness, "According to some clues I've found, a major change must have occurred before the implementation of the Xia calendar. Since the Xia calendar was implemented, human exploration of technology has stagnated, and has even been slowly declining..."

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Mo's eyes were filled with speechlessness. "Mom, weren't we discussing the special admission quota for Tsinghua University? Why did we end up talking about history?"

"It seems we've gone a bit off-topic."

Lin Shu coughed lightly, bringing the topic back on track, "Not long ago, someone discovered some records about the time before the lunar calendar. After repeated discussions, there should be some changes to this year's college entrance examination."

At this point, she winked at her son, "This is also the main reason why I made Yu'er give up the special admission spot."

Will there be any changes to the college entrance examination?

After hearing his mother's explanation, Lin Mo immediately realized that the college entrance examination date in this life was a month later than in the previous life, and his brows gradually furrowed.
