LOT -Chapter 339 Modern Arc: Lin Daddy Becomes Famous Across the Whole School

Lin Daddy truly mesmerized everyone in the audience—so much so that even all the school’s teachers and staff were completely won over.

Even the principal was a little surprised. He still remembered Lin Mo very clearly.

The girl was handsome-looking, straightforward in temperament, had excellent grades, and treated teachers with great respect—just a bit mischievous.

But he really couldn’t imagine that a student like her could play an instrument such as the guqin—and play it so well at that.

At that very moment, a backstage teacher was thinking: “…This has to be cheating. This is definitely cheating!”

No wonder the program had been arranged like this—it turned out they’d found an external helper.

But these two looked way too alike. Could makeup technology really be this advanced now, advanced enough to disguise someone as another person entirely?

When the performance ended, the screams nearly lifted the roof off the auditorium.

Lin Huan felt rather pleased inside. Mm, looks like my guqin skills haven’t deteriorated.

It was only when Lin Mo heard the screaming that she realized she might be doomed.

According to her original plan, she was supposed to sneak offstage while her dad was playing. But just now, she’d been too busy stifling her laughter—and had missed the best chance to escape.

“It’s over, it’s over, Dad! How am I supposed to get off the stage now?!”

Lin Mo grabbed her father’s sleeve anxiously. If the two of them went down together, everything would be exposed.

Lin Huan was equally helpless. “How would I know how you’re getting off? Didn’t you say you had a plan? Just follow it.”

Lin Mo collapsed. “But my original plan was to sneak off while you were playing—and I forgot!”

Lin Huan: …

You can forget this kind of thing? Then what can you remember?

The two of them were stuck in a stalemate onstage, while the audience below grew curious about why they weren’t leaving.

“Is there another performance coming up? Why aren’t they getting off the stage yet?”

Another student said happily, “Isn’t it better if they don’t leave? Can’t we admire the eye candy a little longer?”

Sure, sure—and just like that, everyone happily continued admiring them.

Meanwhile, the Lin family sitting in the back: …

These boys and girls may be young, but they sure know how to appreciate beauty.

Still, they were also curious—what were that father and daughter doing, standing there without moving? Were their butts glued to the stage?

Hua Yao said worriedly, “Could something have gone wrong?”

But even if something had gone wrong, there was nothing they could do. They were just audience members—any problem onstage had to be solved by the father and daughter themselves.

And indeed, the two of them were desperately thinking of a solution.

Lin Mo came up with a terrible idea. “Dad, how about we do a clone technique? Buy one, get one free—this performance can count as a bonus.”

Lin Huan didn’t understand. “What clone technique? Explain clearly.”

Lin Mo organized her thoughts. “Basically, we both appear together later, then swap identities. I’ll be you, and you’ll be me.”

Before she even finished speaking, Lin Huan pinched her hard. “What nonsense are you thinking, you unfilial daughter!”

Trying to turn the world upside down, huh? Wanting to be his dad? His real father was still roaming the four seas in another world!

Lin Mo quickly rephrased. “Ah! I didn’t explain it well. I mean—you pretend to be me, I pretend to be you. Then you introduce me as your dad. The two of us appear together and give everyone a surprise.”

Lin Huan: “…Why does it still feel like you’re taking advantage of me? Why can’t we just appear as ourselves? Why do I have to pretend to be you, and you pretend to be me?”

Lin Mo said earnestly, “This is for my dignity! You just performed under my identity, right? So you have to stay as me. Otherwise how am I supposed to explain it to everyone?”

Lin Huan’s hand started itching. This wretched girl really needed a beating every three days, or she’d climb onto the roof.

And this idea was completely unworkable anyway—their heights and auras were way too different. Did she think this was playing house?

“Enough. Just come out already. None of your stupid ideas will work.”

Lin Huan stood up directly, and Lin Mo—who had been squatting behind him—was instantly exposed to everyone.

The father and daughter’s identical faces caused a wave of shocked gasps.

“My god, what kind of program is this?! A live reproduction show?!”

“She produced an identical offspring—Lin Mo is amazing!”

The Lin family in the back: Pfft.

These people really have rich imaginations.

Lin Mo stood up stiffly, then grabbed her dad’s sleeve and hid behind him.

“Dad… what do we do now?”

Lin Huan suppressed the urge to hit someone and began introducing himself to the audience.

Once everyone learned that they were father and daughter—and that the program had been specially arranged this way—the audience found it incredibly novel.

The teachers had never seen anything like it either.

“This program is so creative! We thought Lin Mo was the one performing—who knew it was her dad?”

“If Lin Mo hadn’t come out at the end, I really would’ve believed it was her. When she appeared, I was completely stunned—like a live magic trick!”

“Her dad is really handsome. It doesn’t even feel like there’s much of an age gap between them.”

Judging by the audience’s reactions, no one treated this as an accident at all—they thought the final joint appearance was deliberately designed.

Lin Mo immediately got smug, full of spirit, grabbing the microphone and starting to brag.

Mainly about how amazing her dad was. Lin Huan was praised so much he wanted to leave the stage.

The next program was Bai Xiao’s—singing. He sang very well and was good-looking too, so the effect was excellent.

Other classes also had performances, but the most explosive thing that night was still this father-daughter duo.

Lin Huan became famous in one go. On the way out, many students even wanted to take photos with him.

“Uncle Lin, you look so much like Lin Mo! If she hadn’t come out at the end, I really would’ve thought you were her!”

Lin Huan forced a smile. Why didn’t this sound like a compliment at all?

Yes, they looked alike—but their auras were completely different, okay?

Lin Mo patted her chest smugly. “Of course! Everyone says my dad and I were carved from the same mold.”

Lin Qi said, “You’ve got it backward. It should be you were carved from Dad’s mold.”

Lin Huan: …

Destroy it all. Having a daughter like this is truly karmic retribution.

All in all, the school anniversary gala was a huge success. Lin Mo technically did nothing—but still became famous.

Only after they got home did everyone learn that their joint appearance had been a total accident.

“This little bastard was supposed to sneak offstage, but instead she hid behind me like a mouse, giggling and bragging, even leaning on my back. She bragged so much she forgot the time. I tried my best to drag out the performance—but she still didn’t go down.”

Just talking about it gave Lin Huan a headache. Someone who did nothing at all, hiding behind him and bragging—only this little menace could pull that off.

Lin Mo protested, “I wasn’t bragging! I was cheering you on!”

Lin Huan snorted and ignored her.

After the gala, Lin Mo became a minor celebrity at school, while Lin Huan became the school’s ultimate male god.

Even teachers wanted Lin Huan to attend parent-teacher meetings.

“You and your dad look so alike. If your dad comes to the meeting, everyone will be shocked. And with your grades, your dad must be very proud of you.”

The homeroom teacher launched into full brainwashing mode. After all, who didn’t like looking at a handsome man—especially a big and a small one with identical handsome faces?

Looking at her monthly exam results, Lin Mo genuinely started to doubt whether the teacher was right.

Her grades were good, yes—but her handwriting was ugly. Would her dad really feel proud seeing that?

Reality proved her worries justified.

As soon as Lin Huan arrived, he gave her a thorough scolding.

“Fine, your brush calligraphy is ugly—but how is it that even with a gel pen your writing is this ugly?! With grades this good and handwriting this bad, don’t you feel ashamed?!”

“There isn’t a single person in the Lin family with handwriting this ugly. Bai Xiao learned later than you, and his writing is still better!”

As he spoke, Lin Huan poked Lin Mo’s forehead with his finger, looking utterly disappointed.

Lin Mo was completely unfazed—dead pig not afraid of boiling water. It didn’t even hurt.

This father-daughter pair became the most eye-catching sight at the meeting, especially with two nearly identical faces side by side—the impact was enormous.

One student’s mom said dreamily, “See, you really should marry a handsome man. Just look—so pleasing to the eye. Even the kids turn out good-looking. With such a handsome husband and child, I’d accept it even if the kid’s grades were bad!”

That student: …

You’re not only my dad, you’re me too?!

The parent-teacher meeting turned into a celebrity fan meeting. Lin Huan was popular not only among the moms, but also among the dads.

The dads were especially curious about how he maintained his looks—what beauty treatments he used, which clinics he went to.

Lin Huan couldn’t answer any of that. His methods were all ancient—and largely genetic.

His grandfather and father hardly aged either. When his grandfather passed away in his nineties, he still looked young—barely any white hair, not a single tooth missing.

His father, after traveling the world with a relaxed mindset, looked even younger. Before Lin Huan transmigrated, he’d even heard that his father went hunting in the mountains with hunters.

He did do some maintenance himself, but he believed genetics played a big role.

Besides, his methods weren’t very realistic in modern times. The raw materials were hard to find, and many things nowadays were fake.

You could pay for them, sure—but you never knew what chemicals had been added.

So he only spent large sums to ensure authenticity before making ointments and creams himself.

After finally leaving the school gates, Lin Huan suddenly noticed someone was missing.

Turning around, he saw that person acting like a qualified leader, shaking hands with everyone, grinning blissfully.

“No rush, no rush—one by one! Want an autograph? I can sign for you too!”

“Enter the entertainment industry? No plans for now. But if I ever do, these autographs will be worth a lot!”

“You support me? Hahaha, thank you so much! If I really decide to enter the industry, I’ll definitely let you know!”

Bai Xiao stood nearby, utterly helpless. He truly felt Lin Mo was getting more and more full of herself.

【Mo Mo, you should give up on the entertainment industry. We’ll only be here for a few more months. Even if you enter, it’ll be this body—not us. We’re leaving anyway.】

【It’ll depend on whether this ‘enter the industry’ idea even gets saved in the archive.】

He didn’t even dare imagine what the entertainment industry would become with her in it. This social maniac—she’d probably dominate the entire scene.

Lin Mo replied: 【Oh, I’m just saying it casually. I don’t actually want to enter the industry. Having every word and move watched would be miserable.】

【I’m very low-key, you know. I don’t want to fart and have everyone watch and push it onto trending topics—that’d be so embarrassing.】

Bai Xiao and Lin Huan: …

Low-key? Does that word have anything to do with you?

You’re so low-key that the entire capital knows you. If you were high-key, wouldn’t the whole world know you?

“Get over here already—why are you dawdling? We’re going home for dinner,” Lin Huan said, grabbing Lin Mo by the collar and lifting her away.

Same familiar move, same familiar atmosphere.

Even while being carried, Lin Mo waved enthusiastically at her classmates.

“Bye-bye! See you at school tomorrow!”

Classmates: …

Lin Mo really is cheerful.

Lin Huan was also glad that this body had the same physical quality as his ancient one.

Back then, he trained daily by lifting stone locks. When he almost couldn’t carry this little menace anymore, he increased his training—finally building his strength back up.

“I really don’t want to attend another parent-teacher meeting for you. It’s too awkward. I feel like you could host your own meeting.”

With communication skills like that, why not just do it herself? What a waste of manpower.

Bai Xiao and Lin Mo exchanged glances and snickered.

Bai Xiao: 【I know you. You dragged Dad along on purpose to show him off, didn’t you? Don’t think I don’t know your thoughts.】

Lin Mo: 【As expected, you understand me best. With such a handsome dad, why wouldn’t I show him off? Out of all those parents, my dad was the best-looking—he didn’t even feel like the same generation. Do you know how proud I felt? So proud~】

Lin Huan sighed, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes. This little menace—always coming up with one idea after another.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye. When it was almost time to leave, Lin Mo felt a little reluctant.

After all, modern society was incredibly convenient. Although she preferred her ancient world, modern life was undeniably easier.

And she missed her friends.

She wondered how the Peacock and the Silly Beauty were doing now.
