Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 135

Lin Mengting walked quickly to the guardhouse and asked casually, “Grandpa Xu, does that person live here too?”

“Who?” Grandpa Xu, being older and hard of hearing, looked at Lin Mengting with confusion.

It wasn’t until Lin Mengting repeated her question several times that Grandpa Xu nodded and smiled, “You mean Xiao Sun?”

Lin Mengting nodded, her pretty almond-shaped eyes and light smile giving her the sweet look of a “girl next door.”

Grandpa Xu, like most old people, loved well-behaved and sensible girls like Lin Mengting. Her attentiveness and “eager to listen” attitude made him open up and talk freely.

“Xiao Sun is a great guy!”

At this point, Grandpa Xu even gave a thumbs-up, looking regretful that Sun Weiqi wasn’t his grandson.

“Old people” applies to everyone, including Grandpa Xu.

Once Grandpa Xu started talking, he didn’t stop, praising Sun Weiqi endlessly.

What made Lin Mengting speechless was Grandpa Xu’s hints that if he had a granddaughter around Sun Weiqi’s age, he would definitely marry her off to him.

Especially when he said this, Grandpa Xu gave Lin Mengting a kind, approving look, almost telling her to “pursue him,” and that a good man like Sun Weiqi should be snagged quickly.

In the end, Grandpa Xu sighed again, “Xiao Sun is a good kid. Whoever marries him will be very lucky!”

…

After listening for a quarter of an hour without being able to speak and hearing all about how “great” Sun Weiqi was, and how she should “marry him,” Lin Mengting took the chance to leave when Grandpa Xu went to drink tea.

Watching the elevator numbers go up, Lin Mengting finally let out a breath.

Who knew old people could nag as well as the character Tang Seng!

Of course, what surprised her most was Sun Weiqi’s “disguising” skills!

Truly, “people aren’t what they seem, and the sea can’t be measured”!

Tsk tsk…

“What are you doing here?”

As soon as she said it, Lin Mengting regretted her words and wished she could take them back.

Given her experience and composure developed over two lifetimes, she shouldn’t have lost her cool like this.

This was evident from how calm she remained around Qin Mei and Qin Dong.

But around Sun Weiqi, her composure kept breaking!

Maybe it was because Lin Chunying and Xu Jiahe had been flaunting their love too much lately;

Maybe it was because Qian Zhiyuan, the “reborn man,” had suddenly become kind and gave her a feeling he was “up to something”;

Maybe it was because Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, the “reborn duo,” had suddenly become low-key and didn’t bother her, giving her a sense of impending trouble;

Or maybe it was Sun Weiqi’s shameless behavior in the bookstore, combined with Grandpa Xu’s endless praises, that made her lose her composure.

After some self-consolation, Lin Mengting regained her usual calm and looked at Sun Weiqi.

Seeing this calm, Sun Weiqi felt a rare curiosity.

—What kind of environment raised a girl like Lin Mengting?!

It is said that when a man feels “curiosity” towards a woman, it means he has noticed her.

Many love stories start with a spark of “curiosity.”

Sun Weiqi didn’t know the true meaning of “curiosity killed the cat,” nor did he think much about it. He just followed his heart and asked, “Why can’t I be here?”

While speaking, Sun Weiqi took the key from the door and played with it.

“Even in a lawful society, a young and pretty girl should protect herself.”

Otherwise, if something bad happens, wouldn’t she regret it for life?!

Although Sun Weiqi didn’t say this out loud, Lin Mengting still understood his meaning.

Was he implying she was “out playing around”?

A “good girl” in both her past and present lives, praised by many, Lin Mengting was amused by Sun Weiqi’s ridiculous comment.

“People say ‘the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom,’ but I think how a person sees the world depends on their own mindset.”

At that moment, the door behind Lin Mengting opened.

Sun Weiqi’s eyes flickered as he shook his head, sighing, “Ah, these young girls nowadays…”

He looked like a “well-meaning person advising Lin Mengting, only to be misunderstood and mistreated.”

What was he up to now?!

Lin Mengting watched Sun Weiqi warily, noticing the quick smile in his eyes.

“Tingting, since you’re back, why are you standing outside?”

Oh no!

Lin Mengting, who usually prided herself on being civilized, almost cursed.

Because of the disapproving look Wang Qin gave her, prompted by Sun Weiqi’s “understanding” gaze.

Sun Weiqi, as if unaware of Lin Mengting’s anger, greeted Wang Qin, “Auntie Wang, I ran into Tingting at the bookstore earlier.”

Tingting, is that for you to call?!

Lin Mengting, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bristled immediately, glaring at Sun Weiqi with a mix of intimidation and warning.

Unfortunately, such a look meant nothing to Sun Weiqi.
