Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 176

“Sun Weiqi, did you know, if I put on children’s clothes and pretended to be a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, no one would question it?”

Sun Weiqi “…”

So, no matter how young he dressed, standing next to Lin Mengting would immediately reveal his true age?

So frustrating!

So maddening!

So depressing!!

“Hahaha…”

Sensing Sun Weiqi’s “stunned” and “speechless” look, Lin Mengting finally burst out laughing, saying, “I’m just teasing you. But, you’re really fun to tease, haha…”

Teasing?

Yes, teasing!

Sun Weiqi silently reached out to smooth the veins popping on his forehead, feeling inexplicably relieved. Maybe because Lin Mengting didn’t mind their age difference, which was good!

As for the rest?

Does it matter?

Of course not!

To Lin Mengting, no matter how old Sun Weiqi was, it didn’t matter. After all, she had been reborn with memories and experiences from her previous life!

For Lin Mengting, having a boyfriend around twenty years old was less appealing than having the chance to be reborn.

Lin Mengting swallowed the usual questions like “Sun Weiqi, where are you now? Are you busy? What do you do every day?” and instead asked, “Sun Weiqi, are you going home for the New Year?”

For someone who had spent more than ten years in the army, accustomed to its ways, Sun Weiqi’s eyes suddenly lit up at Lin Mengting’s question. He couldn’t help but imagine

—Tingting was inviting him to meet her parents back home?!

Of course, he had to be available!

“No,” Sun Weiqi replied without hesitation. “I rarely take family leave. Over the years, I’ve accumulated almost three months of leave.”

He added, “If I want to take leave, I just need to report it.”

“Uh?” Lin Mengting blinked her watery eyes. She suddenly had a strange premonition.

Replaying her words in her mind, Lin Mengting couldn’t pinpoint the source of this feeling, so she pushed it aside.

“I’m considering whether to go home.”

“Gah—” Sun Weiqi stroked his throat, suppressing the overly excited voice, but still sounded surprised and hurt, “You haven’t decided yet?”

If Lin Mengting didn’t go home, his plan to “escort” her and earn points with her parents would be ruined!

So disappointing!

“With only five days left before the New Year, if you don’t decide soon, you won’t be able to get a ticket.”

Despite his words, Sun Weiqi was puzzled.

A girl like Lin Mengting, who had left her family to work in a different city, should be eager to go home for the holidays.

“My hometown is too cold. I’m afraid I can’t adapt to the climate.”

Lin Mengting wasn’t lying.

She hadn’t been home in almost twenty years, living in the subtropical climate of S City. Even though she was in the best physical condition, returning home might still cause discomfort.

“When I was little, every winter, I’d get chilblains on my hands and feet,” Lin Mengting pouted. Remembering the itchiness and swelling of chilblains made her shudder, not wanting to experience it again!

“One particularly cold winter, even my cheeks, nose, and ears got frostbite.”

Chilblains, though not a disease, would return every year once they appeared, causing continuous suffering.

Sun Weiqi, who had seen people suffering from chilblains during missions, felt his heart tighten, “You don’t have heating?”

“No,” Lin Mengting sighed. “We don’t have heating. The winters are damp and cold, with heavy frost and fog in the mornings. Sometimes we see the sun at noon. Most of the time, it’s rainy for weeks.”

“How about this…” Sun Weiqi had a series of thoughts, quickly forming an irresistible idea, “Why don’t you come to the army base for the New Year? Our winters are also cold, but indoors we have heating. Healthy people only need to wear a thin shirt, and those who feel the cold a bit more just need a light jacket. Have you ever seen snow? Made a snowman? Had a snowball fight or ridden a sled?”

Despite his plain words, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but imagine

—A vast expanse of snow, dotted with green plants, the sunlight casting beautiful colors through ice crystals…

Children and adults in colorful down jackets, throwing snowballs at each other.

Nearby, snowmen guarded with “broom” guns in a “threatening” stance.

Then, the sound of barking dogs pulling sleds excitedly…

The scene was so enchanting!

Lin Mengting bit her lip, her hesitation and uncertainty clear, even though Sun Weiqi couldn’t see her face. Her long silence made him keenly aware of her thoughts.

—He had hit Lin Mengting’s soft spot again!

Fantastic!!
