LOT – Chapter 165 Just Fell Between a Married Couple

The married couple was so embarrassed they practically wanted to vanish into the floor, while the two above continued their mental chatter nonstop.

Bai Xiao: “The couple was just about to have some intimate time together, and your shout just scared them half to death.”

Lin Mo: “My bad, my bad… I didn’t mean to delay the birth of their little one. Terribly sorry!”

Bai Xiao: “So just don’t speak now. Let’s communicate in our minds—that’s enough.”

The young madam’s face had already turned bright red. How could Lord Lin and Young Master Bai speak so freely without any scruples!

Wait… they weren’t even speaking out loud—they were communicating mentally. Apparently, thoughts in the mind didn’t need such restraint.

The eldest young master rubbed his nose, unsure whether he should get up or stay put.

He should have just left when Lord Lin shouted earlier, and perhaps rescued them both while he was at it.

Lin Mo: “This rooftop seems pretty sturdy. We probably won’t fall, right?”

Bai Xiao: “I can shrink and hide in your clothes. I might not fall, but you might—and if you do, you’ll land perfectly between that couple.”

Lin Mo: “…That awkward?”

Bai Xiao immediately shrank and hid inside Lin Mo’s clothes. Lin Mo looked at this skill with deep envy.

Luckily, the young lady brought her father along with a ladder.

“Miss! Grab this ladder and climb down slowly, and be careful!”

The father seemed quite kind. Lin Mo first tossed down the kite in her hands, then carefully moved along the roof.

The young lady noticed only Lin Mo on the rooftop and asked curiously, “Sister, where’s that brother? Wasn’t he with you up there?”

Lin Mo glanced at Bai Xiao inside her sleeve and replied, “He climbed down on his own to call someone to rescue me.”

The couple lying in bed inside the house finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hurry and get down! This is way too awkward!”

Lin Mo carefully crawled toward the edge of the roof. Sometimes, you’re scared for a reason. Suddenly, she felt the remaining tiles loosen, and a sensation of weightlessness hit her.

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the bed.

Bai Xiao: “Oh my gosh! Luckily my protective mechanism was on—this is terrifying!”

Lin Mo, lying between the couple: “…I don’t even feel scared right now. Can you make me disappear immediately?”

So embarrassing! She had actually fallen between a married couple. How was this rooftop so unreliable!

The couple on the bed: …

Lin Mo carefully got up, knelt on the bed, and seriously said, “Do you believe me if I say I fell down by accident?”

The young madam forced a stiff smile: “Of course we believe you. We heard noises from above, but didn’t expect it to be Lord Lin up there.”

Even if they knew, they could only claim ignorance.

The eldest young master had already stood by the bed. The situation was unbearably awkward.

Bai Xiao: “Ah, so embarrassing!”

Lin Mo: “This moment makes me think of a very popular song, sung by the famous singer Xi Lang. In this scenario, it couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Lin Mo got up and bowed deeply. “Sorry! I won’t disturb you anymore. Please continue—I’ll leave now.”

Bai Xiao (mental): “Quick! Tell me the route out! Preferably a hidden one with no people!”

Bai Xiao: “Leave it to me! Turn left—there’s a small path. At the end, there’s a tiny door just big enough for one person. But someone’s guarding the door. Walk to the end and there’s a blind spot with a low wall—hurry, go go!”

Lin Mo: “Understood, Commander!”

Lin Mo dashed off swiftly, leaving the couple looking at each other in surprise.

The couple couldn’t help laughing simultaneously. No wonder people said Lord Lin was fun—she really was.

A few minutes later, Lin Mo was standing in a stinky sewer, almost ready to collapse.

“This is the ‘safe escape route’ you talked about? And you didn’t even tell me it led straight into a sewer!”

Bai Xiao, hiding in her sleeve, whispered: “You didn’t ask me either. That wall is low and not many people guard it, so clearly no one comes here. Who’d bother visiting a stinky sewer?”

Lin Mo was about to explode. “Get out of my sleeve right now!”

Bai Xiao held tight, refusing to budge no matter how much she shook her sleeve.

Are you kidding? Now was not the time to come out! Otherwise, she’d be thrown into the sewer.

Finally, Lin Mo stormed home, grumbling and stinking.

Seeing her stinky little daughter, Lady Lin sighed and went back to her room, leaving the matter to Lin Shangshu.

Lin Shangshu felt like his entire body had been scraped raw—he was furious.

“Don’t tell me you rolled around in a sewer?”

Lin Mo lowered her head, whispering: “Not exactly. I did it to do a good deed.”

“Good deed?” Lin Shangshu said expressionlessly. “Tell me, what ‘good deed’ made you end up like this? Bai Xiao’s clean as a whistle—how did you get so filthy?”

Bai Xiao shrank back, avoiding Lin Mo’s murderous glare.

Bai Xiao (mental): “That’s because I shrank and hid in her sleeve!” Lin Mo mentally fumed.

“Father, on my way home I saw a kid’s kite stuck on a rooftop. I climbed up to retrieve it, but the roof broke and I fell in.”

Lin Shangshu: “Wait… you fell in… into someone’s house?”

Lin Mo nodded. “Yes, and not only did I fall into their house, I also interrupted a married couple and landed right between them! So embarrassing!”

Lin Mo’s mental comment nearly made Lin Shangshu collapse.

“Interrupted a couple and fell between them?!”

“Don’t worry, Father, I wasn’t hurt. There were people in the house—the eldest young master and his wife of the Taichang Temple family. They didn’t blame me.”

Bai Xiao: “How could they blame you in that situation?”

Lin Mo: “Shut up!”

Lin Shangshu clutched his chest in frustration. Luckily, he was healthy, or this girl would have driven him mad.

“You didn’t disturb them, or see anything, right?”

Lin Mo: “No, they were fully clothed.” “Besides, they were already disturbed initially, so nothing else happened.”

Lin Shangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to disturb them at the start than midway. His standards were getting lower and lower.
