LOT -Chapter 304 Childhood Arc: Want Me to Study? No Way!

At night, when it was time to sleep, Lin Mo was wide awake—because she had slept too much during the day.

Feeling the constant movement inside her belly, Madam Lin yawned tiredly and said, “Hurry up and take care of your child.”

Minister Lin: …She’s not even born yet—how am I supposed to take care of her?!

After hesitating for a moment, he placed his palm gently on his wife’s belly and began to slowly stroke it from time to time.

Sensing the large warm hand from the outside, Lin Mo suddenly felt a peculiar emotion inside. This feeling… should be called a sense of security.

It was something she had never felt in her past life.

Gradually, Lin Mo really did quiet down. Feeling the stillness under his hand, Minister Lin withdrew his hand.

But the next second, the little one started kicking again.

Madam Lin: “…Maybe just leave your hand there. This child seems really attached to you.”

Minister Lin: …

And so, his hand remained there all the way until childbirth. Every night, if Minister Lin didn’t place his hand on the belly, Lin Mo behaved like the Monkey King himself.

Sometimes, if Minister Lin came home late, she would even hold a grudge. Not wanting to torment her pregnant mother, she saved all her resentment for her father.

When he tried to play with her later, she would completely ignore him!

Over time, the couple realized their baby was a little genius. Sometimes, Minister Lin seriously suspected his youngest was an extraordinary prodigy and even started planning how to raise her.

“When she’s born, I’ll personally guide her! She’s so smart before she’s even born—she’s definitely no ordinary child!”

Minister Lin was already envisioning her bright future.

Madam Lin lazily supported her head and watched her husband dream. For some reason, she felt his expectations… probably wouldn’t come true.

Lin Mo: You want me to study? No way! I’ve had enough studying in my last life!

I’m definitely no ordinary child. After all—I’m someone who transmigrated! A legendary transmigrated heroine!

During the next two months of prenatal education, Minister Lin read to her every day. And Lin Mo slept wonderfully to the sound of his voice.

Honestly, even though she didn’t know what her parents looked like yet, their voices were really pleasant.

Both had beautiful voices—her mother’s was soft and gentle, her father’s warm and jade-like. When he spoke without emotion, it sounded cool and clear like jade striking jade. When he did show emotion, his voice was unbelievably warm and pleasant.

Way better than those overhyped voices in modern times!
If her dad was handsome on top of this voice, then he’d be perfect!

Though, weren’t all ancient officials supposed to be good-looking anyway? And someone with such a beautiful voice surely couldn’t look too bad.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the birth. When labor started, Lin Mo was completely stunned.

She had no experience with this. In her last life, she was an actual baby, and she had no memories before age three.

By the time Minister Lin rushed home in a panic, the baby had already been born.

“Oh heavens! I’ve never seen a birth happen this fast in all my years! This is the first time!”

The midwife was shocked. Madam Lin had just started pushing, and the baby practically zoomed out on her own—full of energy and actively wriggling her way out.

“This family is blessed! This child was born to repay kindness—she didn’t even let her mother suffer.”

Madam Lin herself was a bit stunned. She had just started pushing when she clearly felt the child climbing outward on her own, and then—whoosh—she was out.

Lin Mo: Hahaha! Amazing, right?

She was extremely proud. While other newborns screamed, she came out with the corners of her mouth lifted in a smile.

The midwife found it strange. “Why isn’t she crying? Quick, check her nose and mouth. We must make sure nothing’s wrong!”

Hearing that, Madam Lin panicked. Minister Lin, holding Lin Mo, was also completely at a loss.

Only heaven knew how scared he had been. As soon as he heard his wife was in labor, he rushed home, only to be told she had already given birth. And the moment he stepped inside, the baby was shoved into his arms—eyes still closed, mouth curved in a smile.

And she was born fair and soft. Though tiny—barely the size of his palm—she wasn’t wrinkly like other newborns at all.

Just when Lin Mo was feeling proud of herself, someone suddenly slapped her bottom twice. Feeling a sting, she burst out in a loud wail.

Why hit her?! She was a freshly born baby!

Hearing the strong cries, everyone finally relaxed.

Crying was good. Recently, a family in the capital had a newborn who didn’t cry—and later they found the child couldn’t speak or make any sound at all.

Lin Qi and Lin Ran were brought in as well. In the middle of crying, Lin Mo also peed—thoroughly soaking her father.

Minister Lin: …

When choosing her name, the couple thought of many options—especially Minister Lin. But after two months of interacting with the baby in the womb, one character felt particularly fitting for the little girl.

“Let’s call her Mo’er. With the way she acted in your belly, I really hope she grows a bit calmer.”

Minister Lin held the baby, his eyelids heavy with exhaustion.

This child wanted nobody but him. The moment he put her down, she would scream. Calling her Mo’er was just too fitting.

Madam Lin almost burst into laughter. It really was a good name—and sounded lovely too.

“Huan-ge, looks like she’s chosen you. You’ll have to work harder.”

Minister Lin gave a bitter smile: “It’s not hard work… it’s fate.”

At the same time, the two silly boys—now almost two years old—had been sent to the wrong timeline, so they were born earlier than Lin Mo.

As for Xiao Bai, it was still undergoing training. The main system was trying to explain the proper duties of a system.

Main System: “Stop going off-track. Look at No. 78’s host—terribly flawed! But they still complete their missions beautifully every time. A system should guide its host, not be influenced by them!”

Xiao Bai: “But if I pick a host who can carry me to success, wouldn’t that be easier? I’m just a melon-eating system—I’ll pick someone who loves drama too.”

Main System: …That actually made sense.
But could it please master its job first?! Study properly!

Xiao Bai: “Main System, how long until I become the Main System? Can I replace you? And if I do replace you… will you disappear?”

Main System: …You haven’t even started working yet and you’re already plotting a coup? Your ambition is a bit too big.

The future West Capital Squad had not yet met, but the signs of their destined gathering had already begun.
