Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 152

C Squad of D Province

“Old Sun, my luck is truly unbeatable!”

Old Li, a childhood friend and now comrade of Sun Weiqi, always knew how to casually hit Sun Weiqi’s weak spot, making him feel deeply pained.

“Who would’ve thought that our ‘cold-blooded training demon’, who wants to train us to death every day, would suddenly show some kindness!”

He actually approved his family leave!

Family leave!!

And it’s a ten-day family leave!!!

…

Old Li’s astonishment was understandable. Their “chief” was a man in his forties, living like a man in his sixties or seventies, extremely strict and lacking any vitality.

No, to be precise, this chief only saw people as “alive” or “dead”!

Feeling unwell? Family issues? Want to take leave?

Not a chance, not even a window, let alone a door!

As for the significant event of getting married?

Ha, you think a man who has no interest in women and stubbornly lives a single life at over forty would care about the young ones’ desire to “cuddle with their wives”?

Dream on!

— That’s why the C Squad was mockingly called the “virgin squad” by others!

Luckily, the squad members were all highly skilled special forces with an average age under thirty, handling high-risk tasks. Amidst the “unwanted” old soldiers in the military, they didn’t stand out!

Otherwise, their “old” chief would be called in for a “talk” in no time!

“I haven’t approved the leave yet.” Sun Weiqi, busy cleaning his handgun, nonchalantly replied, stopping Old Li’s gloating mid-sentence. Old Li’s eyes widened in disbelief and despair.

“You… you…” Old Li clutched his chest, hardly believing his brother would do this to him!

Sun Weiqi gave Old Li a dismissive glance, successfully angering him.

“You can’t do this!!” Old Li, suddenly energized, stood up straight and glared at Sun Weiqi. “I need to go home for matchmaking! To solve personal issues!! This is allowed by the military, you can’t overstep!”

“I disagree,” Sun Weiqi replied calmly, unfazed by Old Li’s anger. “The girl from the Yan family isn’t suitable for you.”

“You haven’t even met her, how do you know she’s not suitable?” Old Li scoffed, suddenly eyeing Sun Weiqi with suspicion. “Come to think of it, I’ve never seen you give any girl special attention in all these years. Could it be you prefer men over women?!”

As he said this, Old Li’s face changed dramatically. He stepped back, hugging himself in a defensive posture. “No way, did I guess right? Regardless, you can’t set your sights on me! Otherwise, we’re through! Understood?!”

This time, Sun Weiqi didn’t even spare Old Li a glance.

Prefer men over women?

What nonsense!

Even if he had such inclinations, he wouldn’t choose an idiot like Old Li! He wasn’t so bored as to entertain himself with such a fool!

Over the years, he had cleaned up countless messes for Old Li!

Anyone else would have gotten a good beating for slandering him like this!

“Heh heh…” Sensing the murderous intent from Sun Weiqi, Old Li forced a laugh. “I was just joking! A capable and handsome man like you would have countless girls flocking to you with just one stand!”

Pausing, Old Li’s expression turned pitiful as he added, “So, Old Sun, have mercy on your brother! Over the years, I’ve been rejected by so many pretty girls. Now that I’ve finally met one who doesn’t mind me and even likes me, I must rush home and do everything to win her over!”

This statement was somewhat exaggerated.

To be a close friend of Sun Weiqi, Old Li’s family background couldn’t be too low. If he announced his intention to marry, many families would rush to send their daughters!

“Do you really want to raise someone else’s child?” Over the years, Sun Weiqi had heard such complaints countless times and was used to it. But now…

Thinking of his painstaking efforts to confess to Lin Mengting, only to be called back to the military by a “confidential” order before he could even say goodbye, filled Sun Weiqi with frustration and irritation!

The worst part was their current remote location, where communication with the outside world required layers of approval.

— This place required strict confidentiality!

Trying to contact Lin Mengting without the “cold-blooded demon” noticing?

It wasn’t impossible, but Sun Weiqi wouldn’t risk his future or put Lin Mengting in danger for this.

Not only because his military rank required his wife to pass strict political screening, but also because his background and family obliged him to bear certain responsibilities!

“What?!” Old Li blinked, hardly believing what he heard. “Aren’t those just rumors?”

Everyone knew the Yan family was strict, and many praised the only daughter of this generation as “elegant and talented”. In such a case, rumors of her wild lifestyle abroad seemed baseless.
