LOT – Chapter 235 You Look Exactly Like an Indian Monk Now

The moment Lin Mo saw her parents, she broke into a radiant smile.

“Father, mother, I’m back!”

[Father, mother, I’m back from eating some juicy gossip.]

Lin Mo was truly satisfied now—she hadn’t expected that a simple outing would turn into such a juicy piece of gossip.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin: …Where did you run off to this time to “eat gossip”? Can’t you behave for once? You don’t even know this place well and yet you keep wandering around—it’s like you don’t care about your own safety at all.

Lin Mo chuckled, washed her hands nearby, and began munching on some pastries.

[I didn’t expect my brother to be so impressive. Indeed, when men use schemes, they’re far more cunning than women. My future sister-in-law is really something!]

Just now, she had gone to “eat her brother’s gossip.” Lin Qi and County Lord Hua Yao had found a quiet corner to meet, but, as usual, Lin Mo managed to find them.

Hua Yao was very considerate toward Lin Qi, which forced him to act weak and gentle. Their usual roles were completely reversed.

Lin Mo, hiding in the shadows, was almost laughing herself silly watching her brother appear so delicate.

Bai Xiao was beside her explaining why Lin Qi had to act so gentle, and the two of them speaking in whispers nearly caused the couple to lose their composure.

Bai Xiao happily munched on some pastries and remarked: [Previously, County Lord Hua Yao was seeking a husband, but none of the high-ranking families wanted to marry her. Now, it’s the other way around—she’s marrying in. This is going to be lively.]

Lin Mo nodded in agreement. Of course! She would be pestering her stylish sister-in-law every day!

Mr. and Mrs. Lin calmly listened to all of this. They knew about their son’s affairs, but left it to him to handle—children’s matters were children’s own business.

County Lord Hua Yao was a bit older and more mature; she would be considerate and thoughtful. If she wanted to marry, she would naturally announce it herself.

Once the two little troublemakers left, Lin Qi and Hua Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I swear, those two run around all day doing nothing. The Emperor should just assign them some chores,” Lin Qi muttered.

Every day, he was either cleaning up Lin Mo’s messes, on the way to clean up a mess, or being “gossiped about” himself.

Hua Yao laughed: “But hasn’t the Emperor already assigned tasks to Little Lin? It’s just that Little Lin isn’t really suited for work. She’s a lucky child—this life is probably meant for enjoying herself.”

Indeed, there was no one in the capital lazier or more carefree than her. She had no worries and could do whatever she pleased every day, truly protected from above.

Whatever she did, the Emperor would cover for her—as long as she didn’t commit murder or arson, nothing was a problem.

Speaking of arson, that night, Lin Mo lay in bed, her mind racing with chaotic thoughts.

She had placed the little white snake on another couch. Originally, she wanted to sleep holding it, but Bai Xiao firmly refused.

“Why does it get to sleep on the bed so quickly? If it’s on the bed, what about me? The pillow space will all be taken up!”

Between the little white snake and Xiao Bai, Lin Mo favored Xiao Bai, so she put the snake on the couch.

According to her current train of thought, Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement.

“Xiao Bai, what if we curl my hair tomorrow?”

Her hair had a slight natural wave. Suddenly, she thought of modern big waves and exotic curls.

She couldn’t pull off the mature waves, but she could try an exotic style!

The last time with that ebony hair, it looked nice, but it was her first time styling it—not the curls she imagined.

If she could create an exotic look, she would be the most dazzling person in the capital! Maybe she could even start a trend.

Bai Xiao, half-asleep, groaned: “Do whatever you want. Just don’t break your hair.”

Although respect for one’s parents regarding hair wasn’t as strict now, no one casually cut their hair without reason. Plus, her long hair was beautiful—if it broke, even a simple bun couldn’t be made.

“Be careful with the curl, don’t overdo it—many people mess it up,” Bai Xiao warned.

In the capital, girls liked curling their hair a little with tongs, but fully curling hair into waves was still unheard of.

Lin Mo nodded casually, already buzzing with excitement. She could already picture herself as an exotic beauty.

Early the next morning, she found a stove and started heating the curling tongs.

Looking at the red-hot tongs, Lin Mo took a deep breath, let her hair down, and started curling it strand by strand.

The tongs weren’t burning hot, just enough to curl the hair.

Bai Xiao watched. At first, he was excited when the first curl came out.

But fifteen minutes later, looking at the black “lion’s mane” in front of him, he was utterly silent.

Lin Mo happily tossed the tongs aside and ran to the mirror.

“Do I look gorgeous and exotic now?”

She touched her little curls and was extremely pleased.

Bai Xiao closed his eyes and turned away. Exotic beauty? More like a monster!

Her head was twice the size of a normal person’s. The curls were extreme—hair that was already thick now seemed even thicker.

“Hahaha, I did it! I actually succeeded!”

Lin Mo thought her styling was perfect. The curls looked good now; a quick comb and a little water would make it even better. Yes! Definitely!

When her maid came in, she nearly froze at the massive head, but having served Lin Mo all her life, she could handle it better than most.

Listening to Lin Mo describe her “exotic” hairstyle, the maid had styled it accordingly, but because the curls were hard to manage, the bun looked lumpy.

Looking at Lin Mo with a snake around her neck and her peculiar curls, Bai Xiao seriously commented in his heart: [You look exactly like an Indian monk now. If you darken your face a little, it’ll be even closer.]

Lin Mo snorted—he was just jealous. Today, her curls were a total success, and he was definitely jealous!

However, when she went outside, a little kid she had scared earlier began to cry—and Lin Mo also burst into tears.

“Waaaa~ Why is it so ugly! It’s nothing like what I imagined!”

After hinting to herself for so long, seeing it in real life made her collapse instantly.
