LOT -Chapter 255 Your Heads Are a Bit Bald

Bai Xiao, now in child form with his protective mechanism activated, squeezed out through the opening of the net.

After jumping to the ground, he immediately started thinking about how to get Lin Mo down.

The tree was quite tall, and there were no usable tools nearby.

Even after returning to his adult form and jumping several times, he still couldn’t reach the net.

“You need to use more strength! Jump higher! Why is your jumping ability so terrible?!”

Lin Mo, hanging above, was more anxious than he was. Even though one person had gotten out, making the remaining space slightly roomier, staying curled up for too long made her blood stop circulating.

Being fully bound like this was extremely uncomfortable. For someone who valued freedom as much as she did, being restrained all over was simply torture.

Bai Xiao jumped until sweat drenched his forehead. Finally, helpless, he said, “How about you hang there for a bit while I go get help?”

He really had no choice—neither of them had a knife or anything else that could cut the net.

“I remember you used to carry all sorts of random things around. Don’t you have a knife or something?”

Lin Mo always carried a ridiculous number of miscellaneous items on her, and she often pulled them out at random moments. Surely she didn’t come empty-handed this time?

Lin Mo: “I woke up super early today. How would I have time to prepare anything? If you’re going to get help, hurry up. And bring me something to eat on the way back.”

She was starving. They left so early that they didn’t dare stop by the small kitchen for food, so they came out on empty stomachs.

They thought they’d be able to find a place to eat once they got down the mountain… but instead they got stuck halfway.

Bai Xiao glanced up at the sky, then at Lin Mo hanging from the tree. Worried, he warned, “I’m going now, okay? Be careful. Don’t yell for help randomly—if a bad person hears you, that’d be trouble.”

Lin Mo waved impatiently. “I know, I know! Just go already. Why did you suddenly become so naggy?”

Bai Xiao: …You’re actually嫌我啰嗦 now?! I’m literally worried about you!!

Lin Shangshu and his wife were resting in the study when Bai Xiao rushed in.

“Uncle, Auntie—bad news! Something happened!”

The Lin couple: ???

What could possibly happen? What trouble can anyone get into at a summer resort?

“Where’s Mo’er? Why are you alone? Is she outside?”

Bai Xiao said anxiously, “That’s exactly the problem! We were out on the mountainside and accidentally stepped into someone’s trap. Mo Mo is currently hanging from a tree, wrapped in a net!”

“That tree is too tall. I can’t get her down alone, and we don’t have any tools. So I came back to get help.”

The Lin couple: …

Seriously, what were the two of you trying to do so early in the morning?!

You stepped into someone’s trap on the mountainside—normal people hide valuables in such remote places that no one goes near. Why were you two wandering into places nobody walks?

Lin Shangshu sighed, his expression full of helplessness and disbelief.

“Come on, come on—I want to see what she looks like now.”

Skipping breakfast, skipping lunch, and then getting caught in someone’s trap… At this point he was becoming numb to her antics.

Lin Mo was still hanging from the tree, dozing off. To be fair, with the breeze blowing, it was actually quite comfortable. If only the net were bigger, her posture would be more comfortable too.

“Why aren’t they here yet? Did he get caught in another net on his way back? …Probably not?”

They were too far apart now for her to sense his exact condition, but at least she could feel he wasn’t in danger.

A quarter of an hour later, she saw a whole crowd gathered beneath her. Lin Mo flashed a big grin.

“Hehehe, hello everyone~ Why did you all come? Really, just one or two people would’ve been enough!”

How embarrassing! Why did everyone come?!

Lin Mo’s face reddened a little. Sure, she had done plenty of embarrassing things before, but this wasn’t even her fault.

The Grand Tutor was delighted. “Little Lin-daren truly is different from ordinary folk. How’s the view up there?”

Lin Mo answered earnestly, “Quite nice. I can see the tops of your heads from here. Some of you haven’t been taking good care of yourselves—your heads are almost bald.”

Several officials currently worried about hair loss: …

This girl is as annoying as ever!! Maybe just leave her hanging a little longer.

Lin Shangshu coughed. “What kind of talk is that? I thought you went out to play, but no—you fell into someone’s trap.”

“Do you dare walk on proper roads? Why must you insist on wandering through weird little corners no one else uses? Are you naturally incapable of being normal?”

Lin Mo replied seriously, “Yes. I am one of a kind in this world!”

She was very confident. Big roads had nothing fun. Only small trails had exciting surprises—wild fruits, small animals, little discoveries everywhere. It felt like winning a prize every time, something big roads could never offer.

Bai Xiao: Alright alright, stop bragging. Didn’t you say your legs were numb? Hurry up and let them rescue you.

Lin Mo looked pitifully at her father. “Dad, hurry and get me down. My legs are numb. Numb legs are dangerous!”

Lin Shangshu stared at his daughter dangling in that bizarre posture, unsure how to describe the feeling in his heart.

Ever since she got that little system, the brat had become even more reckless every day. She couldn’t get hurt, and she kept making him take the blame—although she actually always ended up taking responsibility herself.

Before, she was mischievous but at least limited it to their own home.

In the capital, she rarely interacted with others because, according to her, talking to people always caused conflicts, so she preferred not to talk at all.

But now she was suddenly interacting with people again—and having normal conversations?

(Lin Mo: Before, saying things people didn’t like—or saying blunt truths—got me beaten. Beating people can kill or hurt and it hurts! But now it doesn’t hurt!)

“You be careful. I’ll get people to bring you down right away.”

After much effort, Lin Mo was finally rescued. Watching her swinging dangerously as she descended made Lin Shangshu’s heart nearly stop.
