LOT -Chapter 315 Childhood Arc: Everyone’s a Baby

The three of them each had a bright future ahead, but Lin Mo’s future was a little different from the rest.

“Lin Mo’er! Where did you hide my boots this time?”

By now, Lin Shangshu had lost count of how many times this had happened. Lately, the first thing he did every morning was look for his shoes; his official boots had to be found anew every day.

Lin Mo was hiding under the table, hugging her knees. She had already tested it: this table was big enough that if she hid at the back, her father’s hands couldn’t reach her.

Lin Furen took a new pair of shoes from the cabinet. “Alright, alright, don’t waste time. I’ll help you look later. You go ahead first, or you’ll be late again.”

Every morning was utter chaos. Life these days was so hectic that it was hard to even describe. She was almost beginning to forget what life used to be like.

It seemed that in the past, every morning would start with the couple being affectionate, in love and tender toward each other.

Lin Shangshu never had to rush around in a hurry. No matter what, there was always enough time. After getting up, Lin Furen could drink tea and do some embroidery, play with the children, and even visit neighbors.

Such a peaceful and harmonious life—yet, sadly, those memories could only exist in her mind now.

Lin Shangshu glanced at the little shadow under the table and snorted, hugging Lin Furen and giving her a kiss. “Wife, when we get back, I’ll have to properly punish her. This child is far too naughty—I’ve never seen anyone this mischievous.”

Lin Furen gave him a playful scolding glance. “Don’t get handsy—there’s still a child here.”

At that moment, Lin Mo under the table: !!! Daddy and mommy are getting handsy! I need to go see!

She quickly climbed out from under the table and, with wide curious eyes, was about to see exactly what her parents were doing… only to be immediately scooped up the moment she poked her head out.

Lin Shangshu patted her little bottom. “Got you, didn’t I? Tonight you better behave. Don’t bother your mother, or I’ll deal with you when I get back.”

Lin Mo smeared her little blackened hands across her father’s face.

Lin Furen: …

You little stingy thing—threatened once and you attack right away.

Lin Shangshu didn’t even notice the little black handprint on his face. It was getting late, so he quickly put on his shoes and left.

Lin Furen: “Hey! Wait!”

Lin Shangshu thought his wife was reluctant to let him go. He looked back while walking, “Wife, don’t worry—I’ll be back by evening.”

Watching her husband rush off, Lin Furen: … I’m not worried about you—I’m worried your face is dirty!

Lin Mo laughed, showing off her little milk teeth. “Hehehe.”

Lin Furen swatted her little bottom in exasperation. “Wait until your father comes home tonight to deal with you. So mischievous at such a young age! Your brother and sister weren’t this naughty.”

The older two children were well-behaved, requiring no extra attention from their parents.

They had hoped their youngest daughter would be lively—but they hadn’t expected this level of liveliness.

Lin Mo: “Tonight I’ll sleep with my brother and sister, not with Daddy.”

Oh? Clever little thing. But you forgot—your brother and sister still listen to Daddy.

That night, Lin Mo indeed crawled into her sister’s room. Lin Ran looked at her sister rolling around on the bed with utter helplessness.

“Mo’er, no getting on the bed without a bath. Look at you, dirty and messing up the bed.”

Lin Mo took a deep sniff of her sister’s fragrant blanket, utterly blissful.

Luckily, she was cute and very young, otherwise this expression would’ve looked… rather lecherous.

“Sister, tonight I’m sleeping with you.”

Lin Ran nodded absentmindedly while reading, “Alright.”

After all, their little sister came over frequently. She used to try to snatch the bed from her brother, but after he pinned her down for reading practice, she never went there again.

Lin Mo truly adored her siblings. Both were still children, chubby with baby fat, irresistibly cute.

Cuddling them was also extremely comfortable. Her brother was like a little heater, and her sister smelled soft and nice—simply adorable.

She wished her brother wouldn’t force her to study. But in winter, she still had to compete with him for the bed.

Their parents liked to hug the children while sleeping in winter. If she wasn’t in the middle, she’d end up sleeping alone. Several times she woke up in a corner, even though she had fallen asleep in the middle.

“Go take a bath quickly. I still need to have the bedding changed. You’ve dirtied the bed.”

Lin Ran was very clean and didn’t understand why her little sister was always so dirty.

The friends Lin Mo played with were all clean too. They might sweat a little but never get truly dirty—boys included.

Lin Mo grinned and skillfully opened her sister’s wardrobe, taking out her favorite clothes.

What’s hers is hers—if she wants to wear it, she wears it!

Lin Ran: … Could you at least have a little self-awareness about your height and body? You look like a stage performer—sleeping like that, is it really comfortable?

Lin Ran was also only five or six, but tall. Lin Mo, just over three, was a chubby little bundle. Even though they were biological sisters, the height difference was quite noticeable.

Just as she thought the day would pass peacefully, after dark Lin Mo was carried off by her father.

“Sis! Help me!”

Lin Ran sat on the bed and sighed. “Can’t help you. You have to take responsibility for your own mischief.”

That night, Lin Mo got spanked again.

After living here for several years, perhaps influenced by her body and age, Lin Mo’s actions and thoughts were increasingly childlike.

There was a shadow of her past life, but this life was more unrestrained, more audacious.

Whenever she caused trouble, she first went to her siblings, and if that didn’t work, she went to her parents—nothing like the Lin Mo of her past life.

The Lin Mo of her past life, though carefree in appearance, worried about many things and cared about much. She never dared to cause trouble outside.

This life, she was fearless, living happily as long as she didn’t cross any boundaries.

For three consecutive days, Lin Mo was locked in the study to read.

At her age, she should have been starting her education, but Lin Mo really didn’t want to study, especially classical texts.

For other children, daily studying was normal, but for her, it became a punishment: misbehave, get locked in the study. The method was strict but effective, and Lin Mo did learn quite a bit.

“Brother, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Lin Qi: “No, you’re a girl and I’m a boy—boys and girls should not touch.”

Lin Mo: “I’m just a little baby. I haven’t grown up yet. You’re a big baby too—you haven’t grown up yet either.”
