Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 143

“Tingting.”

Her skin, smooth like a baby’s and glowing like fine jade, hinted at a blush that made you want to pinch it, imagining it would be as juicy as a ripe apple.

Her lips, shiny and moist like cherries, made you want to taste them, wondering if they were as sweet as they looked, and to savor them, never wanting to wake from the experience.

Her fluttering eyelashes, like butterflies taking flight, made one itch to cover them with a hand, to feel the soft sensation like a kitten’s paw gently scratching your palm, leaving you wanting more.

…

A gentle sigh, accompanied by a heated gaze and the sound of Sun Weiqi swallowing, brought Lin Mengting back to reality.

The next moment, Lin Mengting instinctively pushed Sun Weiqi away with all her strength.

“Sun Weiqi, what are you doing?!”

With a thud, Sun Weiqi fell to the ground, rolling three times before ending up sprawled in a comically awkward position, groaning in pain.

Lin Mengting looked at Sun Weiqi on the ground, then at her own hands, unable to believe that she, a weak woman, could push a sturdy soldier like Sun Weiqi to the floor.

He was definitely faking it! Did he think acting hurt would make her feel guilty and give him the advantage?

No way!

Thinking this, Lin Mengting crossed her arms and looked at Sun Weiqi with a mocking expression.

Her demeanor clearly said Don’t try to fool me with your little tricks; I’m too experienced for that!

Sun Weiqi, still groaning on the floor, noticed her reaction out of the corner of his eye and paused.

Quickly, a mix of admiration and happiness filled his eyes, along with pride.

—This was the girl he had chosen. She was not only smart and calm but also had sharp insight.

His “acting” skills, though not perfect, were good enough to fool many, even those trained in special skills.

But Lin Mengting, who had only met him a few times, saw through him the first time he tried this trick!

Was this the fabled “sixth sense” women had?

…

If Lin Mengting knew what Sun Weiqi was thinking, she would be shocked.

Could someone who believed in “science above all” take such mystical ideas seriously?

That kind of thinking was for “reborn” people like her!

“Tingting.” Sun Weiqi slowly stretched, occasionally grimacing, pretending to have minor injuries, and said, “Why should there be such distance between us?”

He wasn’t giving up yet?!

Lin Mengting squinted, ready to speak, but then the microwave beeped.

Sun Weiqi immediately darted into the kitchen.

Soon, a delicious aroma filled the air, making Lin Mengting’s mouth water.

For food lovers, what’s irresistible? Delicious food, of course!

In front of Lin Mengting was a plate full of a variety of snacks

Hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios…

Green bean cakes, red date cakes, osmanthus cakes, green tea cookies…

Pudding, jelly, tiramisu…

And a big cup of steaming milk!

Lin Mengting’s eyebrow twitched, and she couldn’t believe that a grown man like Sun Weiqi had such a stash of snacks!

But she still remembered what happened earlier.

Shaking her head, Lin Mengting looked at Sun Weiqi with a meaningful glance and said, “I didn’t expect this… didn’t expect this at all.”

Before Sun Weiqi could explain, Lin Mengting concluded, “Don’t worry, what I see stays with me. I won’t tell anyone.”

This meant she wouldn’t spread rumors about Sun Weiqi liking snacks, and in return, he shouldn’t use his “injury” to press her on the previous topic.

“You’re overthinking it.” Having gotten a better sense of Lin Mengting’s personality, Sun Weiqi didn’t want to shoulder this “blame.”

“A friend of mine dropped these off on his way through S City, from a trip abroad.”

Who was he kidding?

Nuts and cakes could come from abroad, but traditional Chinese pastries like green bean cakes? No way!

Still, Lin Mengting, who usually didn’t interrupt others, simply glanced at the pastries. Though silent, her expression spoke volumes, mocking Sun Weiqi.

However, having decided to be honest with her from the start, Sun Weiqi chose not to hide things, intending to let her get to know him better.

Even though they had only met briefly, today’s interactions had shown Sun Weiqi something about Lin Mengting’s character.

—She repaid kindness with even greater kindness.
