LOT -Chapter 336 Modern Arc: At the Parent-Teacher Meeting, Lin Mo Gets Confessed To

In order to attend the parent-teacher meeting, the Lin family even held a small meeting the night before.

Lin Huan said, “I have a company meeting tomorrow, I really can’t make time. Whoever is free should go.”

Su Weiqin added, “I promised to take my students out tomorrow. I can’t back out now either. Your brother, sister-in-law, sister, or brother-in-law… whoever has time should go.”

Lin Mo stared resentfully at the two of them. As if she didn’t know they were just making excuses.

Just as Lin Qi was about to speak, Lin Mo rolled over and slapped a hand over his mouth. “Brother, don’t say anything. You’re going tomorrow. We’re real siblings, you can’t refuse to go to my parent-teacher meeting!”

Lin Qi struggled hard, but the harder he struggled, the tighter Lin Mo pressed down. Hua Yao, watching from the side, twitched her lips and said helplessly, “Let go. Your brother’s about to suffocate.”

Lin Mo hurriedly let go. Lin Qi’s face was already red from holding his breath.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t break free—he had trained in martial arts since childhood. He wasn’t as strong as the great generals, but he was far from weak.

But if he used strength to break free, he was afraid he’d hurt the little menace.

“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll go tomorrow. You’d better pray the teacher doesn’t complain about you, or just wait and see how I deal with you afterward,” Lin Qi grumbled, already itching to teach her a lesson.

Ever since they arrived in this world, disciplining these two little troublemakers had fallen onto him.

Their father had to adapt to work in this world, their mother had her own career, and his little sister spent her days wandering around with Ji Qianhua, even going on trips. So he was the one left to manage the kids at home.

A grown man being forced to stay home to raise children… he didn’t even know what to say.

Thankfully, these two brats had decent grades. Otherwise he’d lock them up at home and make them study.

Bai Xiao raised both hands. “Hey, what about me? Don’t forget I also need a parent to attend.”

Everyone looked toward Lin Ran and his wife. Lin Ran looked up at the sky, and Ji Qianhua pointed at himself in confusion. “So… you mean I’m going?”

He had never attended a parent-teacher meeting before. But his father had been summoned many times—whenever he caused trouble as a kid, his father was dragged there.

A parent-teacher meeting should be the same thing, right? A child misbehaves and the school calls the parent?

Once the matter was settled, Lin Qi sighed in relief. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s rest early. Tomorrow, remember to wake the kids. Breakfast we’ll buy on the way.”

When they first transmigrated, the house actually had a nanny. Somehow, their identities and life records in this world were complete—everything could be checked.

Must’ve been the main system’s doing. You can’t have people appear out of thin air.

But because having a nanny around would be inconvenient, they dismissed her.

Whoever had time cooked. Most of the time, they ordered takeout.

Since they finally came to this world, they had to experience its technology. Besides, they were rich—no need to cook themselves.

When they first arrived, they ate five meals a day. Eventually, they got better and later even learned to cook.

Whoever had time cooked. No strict assignments. And honestly, the girls in the house all cooked terribly, so it was usually the three men—no wait, four men—who discussed what to eat each day.

The Next Morning

Lin Mo was dragged out of bed and shoved into the car.

“Still sleepy? Were you secretly playing on your phone last night? Back home you kept sneaking off to read storybooks, and now in this world you’re glued to the phone. Can’t you do something serious?”

“If your grades slip this time, just wait and see what I do with you.”

Lin Qi sounded exactly like Lin Shanshu back in the ancient world. They didn’t look alike, but their temperaments were increasingly similar.

Half awake, Lin Mo sat in her seat brushing her teeth, nodding vaguely. She didn’t hear a thing.

The car was now equipped with a full set of washing supplies. Wake up, put on clothes, and wash up on the way to school. They’d grab breakfast along the route, and everything would be done by the time they arrived.

Ji Qianhua sighed nervously.

Watching calm-faced Lin Qi driving beside him, he asked, “Are parent-teacher meetings usually important? Do I need to prepare anything?”

He wasn’t even this nervous when going into battle—he simply didn’t understand this world enough yet.

Lin Qi shook his head, disgusted. “What are you nervous for? If you don’t dare go, I’ll go alone. They’re in the same class anyway. I can attend both meetings myself.”

“The teachers here are good. Schools here are much better than the academies of our world. They teach more too… except they don’t have riding or archery, so the kids’ physical strength is terrible.”

That was what worried Lin Qi most. Sitting ten-plus hours a day—how could anyone stand that?

Even during imperial exam years, they weren’t forced this much. They’d read outdoors, go on walks, read while traveling, even ride horses with other students.

But after coming here, this little brat had gotten lazier and lazier.

In the capital she couldn’t sit still for a moment. But here? She barely wanted to move.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiao and Lin Mo were happily eating breakfast with their heads together.

【Xiao Bai… if we leave this world later, will our bodies here still exist?】

Bai Xiao: 【Probably. Just without your consciousness. They’ll continue living along the set trajectory.】

【The bodies were created by the main system, but appearing and disappearing suddenly would mess with world stability. So after we leave, the main system will keep these bodies going along the intended life path.】

【It’s like saving a file. Once we leave, the save file continues on its own.】

Lin Mo pondered. So… it was like a parallel world.

Them in ancient times, and the “them” in modern times. Same names, same family structure, same personalities—just in different eras.

The main system really had a tough job. It created bodies and had to program their life route afterwards.

(Main system: Exactly, I have never done this kind of job before!)

Lin Qi and Ji Qianhua listened in on their mental conversation and exchanged reassuring looks.

They’d wondered about this question too. Now there was an answer, and it felt meaningful knowing they had a life footprint in this world.

The Parent-Teacher Meeting

The meeting went extremely smoothly. Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were the most outstanding kids in the class.

Good-looking, smart, lively—every parent loved them.

Some parents felt their own kids were too introverted and admired such confident children.

“Oh my, your daughter is beautiful. How did you raise her to be so lively? My kid barely talks.”

“Your whole family is so good-looking! And the grades—amazing. My child just plays all day and scores terribly…”

Once the meeting ended, Lin Qi and Ji Qianhua were immediately surrounded by parents.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao snuck out.

They were caught in a parent ambush, unable to move, so all they could do was watch the kids run off.

Honestly, they never expected the two infamous chaos-bringers of the capital to become class models here.

Back home, anyone who saw them ran for their lives—especially criminals. But here? Complete opposites.

Lin Mo and Bai Xiao snuck out for fried chicken and only returned after stuffing themselves.

The Confession

On the way back, they encountered a big situation.

A shy girl stood in front of them, holding a pink envelope.

Lin Mo froze.

“Um… do you want me to pass that letter to someone?”

Her first thought was that she was being asked to deliver a love letter. She got along with everyone in class, after all.

Helping deliver a confession wasn’t a big deal.

But the girl shook her head, blushing. “This is for you.”

Lin Mo’s eyes widened: !!!

Bai Xiao nearly choked on his burger. “Cough—Cough! WHAT?! You’re giving that to Lin Mo?!”

He even cracked on the last word from shock.

The girl glanced at both of them and took a deep breath. “Lin Mo, I’ve liked you for a long time. And it’s not just me, a lot of girls at school like you.”

“You’re cheerful, handsome, excel in your studies, have a good temper, and respect girls. If we ignore the gender part, you’re absolutely perfect.”

“And even gender… doesn’t really matter. Feelings don’t depend on gender. I’m not asking you to answer right away—just please think about it.”

Lin Mo swallowed nervously and took the letter with trembling hands.

Bai Xiao’s eyes practically caught fire.

【You actually ACCEPTED the letter?! You’re cheating on me right in front of me! I’m going to complain to Dad and Mom!】

【Reject her! Give it back! If you reject her now, I’ll forgive you!】

Lin Mo panicked too.

【If I reject her right here, wouldn’t that be humiliating? She likes me sincerely.】

【Let me think of a gentle way to turn her down. I’ll keep the letter for now—it’s a kind of comfort for her.】

Lin Mo really respected girls. In their original world, girls had it harder, so she was always very patient with them.

This world was the same. Girls matured earlier and were more sensitive.

Lin Mo knew she herself was an exception. Not everyone could be like her. So she tried to protect their dignity.

Facing the girl, Lin Mo took a breath and said apologetically:

“I’ll keep the letter, but I’m really sorry—I can’t give you an answer.”

“I’m very happy that you like me. But you’re still young. You’ll meet someone better in the future. There’s no need to hang yourself on a crooked tree like me.”

It was probably the most tactful she had ever spoken.

The girl’s eyes turned red. She glanced at Bai Xiao—who was looking smug—and forced a small smile.

“I understand. You’re exactly the person I thought you were. I didn’t like you in vain.”

After this, the two had no mood to play. Their minds were full of the confession.

Lin Mo had short, tousled boyish hair. Even though she wasn’t tall, she had a youthful, handsome look.

Bai Xiao, meanwhile, was delicate and pretty. Their looks were opposites.

People rarely realized they were a pair. They thought Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were brothers.

Even at parent-teacher meetings, parents were swapped around so often that everyone assumed one followed the father’s surname and one the mother’s.

When Lin Qi and Ji Qianhua finally reached the gate, they saw the two squatting by the roadside in deep thought.

“What are you doing? Thinking about life in a pile of dust?” Lin Qi flicked the dirt off their heads.

Lin Mo sighed and pulled out the pink envelope.

Both adults: !!! WHAT?!

Lin Qi: “This is a love letter, isn’t it! Which boy confessed to you?! I’m going to chop him!”

Ji Qianhua turned to Bai Xiao. “How useless are you? You let someone steal your person right under your nose?”

Lin Mo & Bai Xiao: “…”

Bai Xiao explained everything.

Lin Qi and Ji Qianhua were stunned.

Too surreal—but looking at the girl…
