An Youyu's jade lips parted slightly, "You..."
"What's wrong with me?"
"I told you, you're not allowed to be angry."
"Don't be angry, go ahead and tell me."
"Just now, your skin... is so thick."
"..."
When An Youyu noticed Lin Mo's speechless expression, she chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand.
Her laughter was like the sound of bells, extremely pleasant to hear.
Her clear eyes flickered slightly, her delicate nose twitched, and the sweet smile on her lips made everything around her fade into the background.
Even the sun in the sky seemed somewhat dimmed at this moment.
"Anyway, I don't care. Now that I know about the tomb sweeping, be sure to remember to call me when the time comes."
Lin Mo lowered his head to hide the strangeness deep in his eyes, and gently reminded him, "Don't forget, you not only took my water, but you also signed a contract of servitude."
"That's because you cheated."
An Youyu pouted, "Come in with me now, I'll give you back the money, and you give me the indenture."
"What a beautiful thought!"
Lin Mo took out the slip of paper from his pocket and waved it triumphantly, "Although this is not an unfair contract, it is not something that can be redeemed just like that."
An Youyu realized she had been tricked by Lin Mo and angrily questioned, "Then how can I redeem it?"
"Well, it depends on my mood."
Lin Mo put away the note. "We can't redeem it now. We'll talk about it later. Remember to get yourself something to eat when you get back. I'm leaving."
Fearing the girl would persist in pursuing the matter, he quickly said something and turned to leave.
An Youyu watched Lin Mo's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes first curving downwards, then subtly lifting upwards.
She herself was unaware of this.
"You always lie to me..."
…………
Lin Mo hummed a little tune as she walked into the house. After changing her shoes, she went to the living room and called out towards her mother's bedroom, "Mom?"
No one responded.
He was already used to it.
Since her mother divorced Su Wenyang, this has been a frequent occurrence, and sometimes she even stays out all night.
Lin Mo had no prior knowledge of his mother's work, but from what his mother said yesterday about the changes to the college entrance examination, he managed to glean some clues.
Not urgent.
One day, the truth will come out.
Lin Mo went to the kitchen, brewed a pot of tea, and sat alone on the sofa, lost in thought.
He had just brought the teacup to his lips when the system's voice rang in his mind.
"Host, there's something I need to remind you of."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Lin Mo took a sip of tea, quite surprised.
This was the first time the system had spoken to him since he activated it.
System: "The host has accumulated 1000 cultivation points, which can be exchanged in the cultivation shop. Since these 1000 cultivation points are a reward for a special mission, they are time-limited. If these 1000 cultivation points are not used after midnight tonight, they will automatically expire."
Lin Mo nodded calmly, "I understand."
System: "It is recommended that the host use the nurturing value now."
Lin Mo shook his head. "The suggestion is not to be adopted."
"..."
Chapter 88 Special Recruitment Notice
"Click——"
Around 7 p.m., the sound of a door opening rang out.
Lin Mo, who was studying in his room, heard the noise, got up and went to the door. He noticed his mother changing her shoes by the shoe rack. "Mom, did you just get off work?"
"Correct."
Lin Shu changed her shoes and walked towards her son. "Are you starving?"
"Fortunately."
"Huh? Where are the fish?"
"She's a little tired, so I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable."
Lin Mo did not hide anything from today's events and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
"So that's it."
Lin Shu nodded, a hint of reproach on her face. "Why did you only tell me now? If you had told me earlier, I could have gone with you."
Lin Mo asked with a strange expression, "You're going too?"
"What do you mean? Can't I go?"
"Yes, but it's not suitable."
Lin Mo gave a serious explanation, "I went as Xiaoyuer, what was your identity?"
"of course……"
Seeing his mother abruptly stop speaking, a smile flashed deep in Lin Mo's eyes. "What is it?"
"I want you to take care of it?"
Lin Shu said with a smug look, "Anyway, remember to let me know if something like this happens again."
"It really does."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "At the beginning of next month, Xiaoyuer is going to Liangshan to sweep the tombs of one of her relatives."
"Liangshan?"
Upon hearing this place, Lin Shu frowned and muttered to himself, "Wasn't that place flooded by a flash flood?"
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with surprise, "Mom, how did you know there was a flash flood in Liangshan?"
"nonsense."
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son, "When you were eight years old, I took you to Liangshan for summer vacation. Have you forgotten?"
"forget."
"..."
Lin Mo was not lying. He had memories of when he was eight years old, but he had no memories related to Liangshan.
Lin Shu's words had a double meaning: "It's a good thing you forgot. Alright, I'll go cook and call you later."
"Forgetting is a good thing?"
Lin Mo muttered to himself, his eyes filled with increasing doubt.
It seems I need to find some time to have a good talk with my mother...
…………
On Wednesday morning, Lin Mo delivered breakfast as usual.
The moment the iron gate opened, An Youyu poked her little head out, "Could you wait outside for a while? I, I..."
"What are you going to do?"
As Lin Mo spoke, he squeezed in.
"Ugh?"
An Youyu stomped her foot and quickly ran to the bedside to hide a stack of clothes under the blanket.
She looked at Lin Mo, who was busy at work, and complained weakly, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside? You never listen to what others are saying."
Lin Mo set out the breakfast, then turned around and asked, "Why are we waiting outside? You have to give me a reason, right?"
"I...I'm getting ready to take a shower."
An Youyu tilted her head and explained softly, "I was a little tired yesterday, so I slacked off."
"bath?"
Lin Mo walked to the bathroom door and looked around. "Isn't there a door? Just close it when you take a shower."
"No, no."
An Youyu's face flushed, but she insisted, "You have to go out..."
"stay home."
Lin Mo returned to the dining table, sat down on a stool, and said, "Go wash up quickly if you're going to."
"you……"
Seeing Lin Mo's shameless attitude, An Youyu bit her lip and said, "Then you can only sit here and not move."
"You don't trust my character at all?"
"no……"
Lin Mo looked up at the clock on the wall and reminded him, "It's already 7:10. If we don't go now, we really won't have time."
An Youyu turned her back, picked up the clothes hidden under the blanket, and quickly went to the bathroom.
