Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 136

Especially when Sun Weiqi casually glanced at the large plastic bag in Lin Mengting’s hand, Wang Qin immediately “understood.”

It seemed that these books were brought back by Sun Weiqi for Lin Mengting. To help her keep it a secret, he handed the bag back to her after they got upstairs.

Such young people, who do good deeds without seeking recognition, are really rare nowadays!

With this in mind, Lin Mengting’s effort to hide her irritation, though still visible, made Wang Qin chuckle and remember the “intimate familiarity” between Lin Mengting and Sun Weiqi earlier.

—Young people, it’s normal for them to “bicker” and “quarrel”!

But how did these two meet? Why had Lin Mengting never mentioned it before?

Could it be…

As various thoughts flashed through Wang Qin’s mind, she couldn’t help but smile as she looked at Lin Mengting’s puffed-up cheeks. Holding back laughter, she said, “Xiao Sun, we got some wild game from my hometown recently. I cooked some today. Come over later and have a drink with your uncle.”

As she said this, Wang Qin paused, glanced at the large plastic bag in Lin Mengting’s hand, and added with a smile, “Consider it a thank you from Tingting.”

This… this… this is too much!

Seeing this unfold, Lin Mengting felt her brain wasn’t keeping up, and a sense of helplessness filled her heart.

—What was going on?!

How did the situation change so drastically in such a short time?!

“Okay.” Sun Weiqi nodded, looking at Lin Mengting, who seemed ready to pounce and scratch him. He felt his heart soften.

Regardless, this “lively and adorable” girl had piqued his interest!

Moreover, they seemed to have a special connection!

—Every time he took leave and visited S City, he would “coincidentally” meet Lin Mengting and see her various expressions.

If this isn’t fate, then what is?

Since fate had brought her to him, he should follow the principle of “seize the moment” and take action! Otherwise, he’d be wasting this opportunity and the favor of fate!

Thinking of his teammates, who returned from home visits looking pleased and fulfilled, Sun Weiqi felt he couldn’t lag behind as their captain.

Especially now, he needed to “lead by example”!

With this thought, Sun Weiqi smiled at the “angry” Lin Mengting, his eyes gentle, which moved Wang Qin. His respectful demeanor and words made her imagine even more.

“Just recently, I got a good bottle of wine from the old man.”

Ha ha!

Lin Mengting finally understood what it meant to “be unable to clear your name” and “injustice as great as snow in June.”

But even so, explanations were necessary.

“Aunt Wang, it’s not what you think.”

“Oh?” Wang Qin raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Mengting with a teasing expression, “If it’s not what I think, then what is it?”

“Let me explain…”

Normally, Lin Mengting’s wit and intelligence would alert her to Wang Qin’s probing, making her careful with her words to subtly guide Wang Qin’s thoughts.

But today, filled with anger and resentment, she missed this entirely and inadvertently fell into a trap, even helping to dig her own grave!

As she did now, detailing the bookstore incident with Sun Weiqi in full.

Of course, she didn’t forget to add her own opinions and the comments from onlookers, hoping to show Wang Qin how deceitful and mischievous Sun Weiqi was.

However, compared to the “silent, honest, helpful” image of Sun Weiqi, Lin Mengting’s explanations didn’t hold much weight.

This was clear from Wang Qin’s “disappointed” expression.

“Tingting, Xiao Sun is a very good young man. Don’t say things like this about him again. People who know you will understand, but those who don’t might use it to drive a wedge between you two!”

This was another test from Wang Qin.

But Lin Mengting didn’t notice, as her mind was racing.

A good guy?

Feelings?

… What a joke!

Lin Mengting’s mouth twitched, hardly believing such praise came from Wang Qin, who usually had a keen sense of judgment.

Thinking this, Lin Mengting immediately reported, “Aunt Wang, he fought with me over a book today!”

“Tingting, if he really wanted that book, you wouldn’t have brought it home!” Wang Qin gave Lin Mengting a “you silly girl” look, surprised at how Lin Mengting’s ability to “lie convincingly” had diminished.

Of course, Wang Qin was also puzzled, as such behavior seemed unlike the “strict and principled” Sun Weiqi.

—Even though Wang Qin hadn’t interacted much with Sun Weiqi, her keen eye could sense his “fair and unbiased” nature.

In Sun Weiqi’s eyes, there was no difference between men and women! Nor was there any “chivalry” towards women!

In this context, expecting Sun Weiqi to yield to a girl made Wang Qin, who didn’t know him well, think of “even heroes can’t resist beauty.”

But those familiar with Sun Weiqi, like his close friends, would likely joke about “the sun rising from the west today” or “we must’ve gotten up on the wrong side of the bed”!
