Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 105

Even if Lin Mengting had achieved great success, she was, after all, just a “blue-collar worker.”

The pressures, fatigue, and burnout from life and work usually grow stronger with age.

Truly successful people can indeed live worry-free in their old age.

But more often, it is the ordinary people who spend their lives in mediocrity.

For such workers, they contribute their best youth, but once they are in their forties, they must face the crisis of being “replaced” by younger people.

At this point, they are truly “burdened by the elderly above and the young below.” Being laid off means they are completely unemployed, and the entire family’s income will be affected.

—Of course, for them, the most terrifying thing is the physical and mental pressure and torment of transitioning from “mental labor” to “physical labor.”

For example, from a regular office clerk to a cleaning lady.

…

Even for a smart, calm, rational, and wise girl like Lin Mengting, such things were simply impossible!

However, Old Yu and Old Gu, these two big shots who always plan three steps ahead, after recognizing Lin Mengting and including her in their protective circle, began to consider her growth and future.

Letting Lin Mengting work as a part-time teacher at the youth center was just the first step in introducing her to a higher circle!

…

If Lin Mengting were really an 18-year-old girl, she would definitely be annoyed at Old Yu’s decision to send her to the youth center without consulting her first.

But, as a girl who had lived through two lifetimes and truly seen the changes in the world, Lin Mengting immediately understood Old Yu’s intention as soon as she hung up the phone.

Then, she felt a deep sense of gratitude.

Only those who truly care about and love you would think this much for you.

Just like “parental love for their children,” it is always so profound.

—So, how lucky was she to receive such care and protection from these two elders after her rebirth!

It was probably because she had been so badly tricked by other reborn people in her previous life, and the heavens could not stand it anymore, so they gave her this compensation!

…

Under the care and instructions of her parents and elders, Lin Mengting, with prepared materials, arrived at the youth center smoothly.

Then, as she pushed the door open and walked into the classroom, she was sadly reduced to being treated like a “panda.”

Of course, pandas are national treasures, adorable creatures, truly “loved by everyone, flowers bloom, and cars stop.” Lin Mengting, on the other hand, was just a “visitor from another planet,” being stared at with “burning” eyes by many little kids, looking shocked and incredulous.

No wonder, Lin Mengting had a “baby face,” always showing a bright and cheerful smile to everyone, and liked to wear beautiful dresses, making her a “big sister” that was irresistible to these five or six-year-olds, especially the girls!

“Big sister, are you our new teacher?”

“Big sister, sit next to me and teach me to draw this picture, okay?”

“Big sister, look at my egg drawing, does it look like?”

…

Alright, this time, she was directly surrounded by the little kids!

Lin Mengting laughed wryly, gently reminding the little ones to return to their seats while comforting herself with a sense of humor in her previous life, she was quite popular with “little kids,” but now, since her rebirth, why had this trait become even stranger!

Who knows, in the future, when not working in logistics, she might even open a kindergarten and enjoy the bittersweet experience of being a “kindergarten teacher!”

“Today, we are going to draw ‘A Warm Family.'” Lin Mengting walked to the front of the class, reciting the prepared words one by one, looking at each child with such warmth…

The class quickly passed.

When the last child was picked up by their parents, Lin Mengting finally let out a long breath, and her floating heart finally settled down.

After scanning the not-so-spacious classroom, Lin Mengting suddenly smiled.

Actually, some things seem very difficult until you start doing them, but once you begin, you realize they are not that hard.

Or, you could say, for Lin Mengting, teaching the little kids to paint was actually quite easy and comfortable, bringing a “long-lost happiness” and surprising “sparks of inspiration.”

Perhaps, this feeling came from the kids’ “imaginative” thoughts, maybe from their amusing “childish words,” and also from their trusting and dependent gazes when looking at her!

“Yo!” A familiar voice rang at the classroom door, “You look good today, right?”

“Feeling very good. But, Xiao Qiang, why are you only coming now?” Lin Mengting tilted her head slightly, smiling mischievously, “I waited for you so long, the flowers are almost withered.”

“Don’t call me ‘Xiao Qiang’!” Zhang Qiang was annoyed. Ever since the movie “Flirting Scholar” starring Stephen Chow was released, she wished time could go back to refuse her parents giving her the nickname “Xiao Qiang”!

Being named after that creature really felt depressing!

“This name represents my heartfelt intention for you!” Lin Mengting laughed, her eyes squinting into a line. Who could have thought that the Zhang family would call Zhang Qiang this way!

Zhang Qiang ground her molars, threatening, “Want to eat for free?”

“Want!” Lin Mengting packed the materials on the table into her backpack, stood up, hooked Zhang Qiang’s arm, and decisively changed her tune, “My dearest rose, let’s go have tea!”

“No!” Zhang Qiang shook her finger, saying, “There’s a Su-Hang cuisine restaurant nearby, let’s go eat there.”

“Really…” Lin Mengting blinked her watery eyes, looking pitiful and helpless, “Can’t we change it again?”

Although she was a “foodie,” there was no dish in this world that she wouldn’t try, but a foodie still had likes and dislikes! For Lin Mengting, the sweet and salty Su-Hang cuisine was something she could never really like!

Who asked her to be used to the strong flavors of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine!

“Can’t!” Zhang Qiang was particularly ruthless and merciless, rejecting Lin Mengting, “Go? Or not go? You only have two choices.”

Lin Mengting immediately nodded, “Go!” With a chance to eat for free, why give it up! Just Su-Hang cuisine, having it once or twice is fine!

Zhang Qiang…

What does “June sky, child’s face—changing in a blink” mean? Now, she had finally witnessed it!
