Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 177

“Tingting, do you like Chinese cabbage? The kind that’s been snowed on and frosted, making it especially sweet? And those crisp and refreshing radishes… Every winter, we don’t need a refrigerator because the snow outside acts as a natural freezer. We just put the leftover food on the windowsill, and the next morning, we steam it again.”

…

Many years ago, Lin Mengting had heard a song called “I Want to Go to Guilin.”

Even now, she remembered the lyrics “I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin. But when I have the time, I don’t have the money. I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin. But when I have the money, I don’t have the time.”

In both her previous and current lives, Lin Mengting had a dream of traveling the world, enjoying different sceneries, and tasting various delicious foods.

Unfortunately, dreams are called dreams because they remain just that—dreams. They exist only in one’s imagination. Achieving them is not as simple as having the right time, place, and people.

And now, such an opportunity to realize her “dream” was right in front of her.

So, should she accept it without hesitation, or refuse it outright?

This was indeed a difficult question.

“Stop tempting me!” Lin Mengting ground her molars, pretending to be “furious,” “Do you want my parents to scold me? Hmph!”

It was clear that if the Lin family, especially her doting parents Lin Yimin and Yu Fengqing, and her uncles and aunts Lin Yian and Wang Qin in S City, found out that she was leaving her family behind for love, they would be furious!

At that time, even Lin Yian and Wang Qin, who had met Sun Weiqi countless times and thought he was a good kid, would change their minds and decide he was a scheming wolf that needed to be dealt with.

“Or are you trying to leave a bad impression before even meeting my parents?”

Alright, the last sentence hit Sun Weiqi’s weak spot.

So, he could only wipe his face and explain with a sheepish smile, “I just wanted to invite you to see the snow, enjoy some good food, and experience the lively and joyful atmosphere of the army during the New Year.”

So she could get accustomed to it early on.

“Who would believe that?” Lin Mengting almost rolled her eyes, showing her disdain and skepticism toward Sun Weiqi’s words.

Did he think she was some naive girl who could be easily fooled?

“I know exactly what you’re thinking.”

Once Lin Mengting entered the army camp as “Sun Weiqi’s girlfriend” and participated in such “big events,” no matter how things changed, she wouldn’t be able to shake off this label!

Although, when deciding to give Sun Weiqi a try, Lin Mengting didn’t plan to “abandon” him. But was it really appropriate to be so demanding right after confirming their relationship?

Even a man like Sun Weiqi shouldn’t be pampered too much!

With this in mind, Lin Mengting said firmly, “I’m not a naive little girl, hmph! If you think you can fool and trick me, let me tell you directly in the future, don’t lose to me and end up with nothing!”

Sun Weiqi “…”

Oh wow, why did those “serious” and “cold” words make him feel so good, as if he had eaten a superfood that revitalized his entire body?

Especially the sudden heat wave below his abdomen…

At this moment, Sun Weiqi was grateful for his high rank. Even when away for special training, he had his own dormitory. Otherwise, this scene would have been witnessed by his comrades.

Then, his years of carefully cultivated “cold-blooded and strict” image would collapse instantly!

Luckily, Lin Mengting didn’t know about Sun Weiqi’s “imaginings,” or she might have hung up the phone and blacklisted him, giving him the cold shoulder for a while!

“Tingting, I’m serious.” After drinking most of a cup of cold water to extinguish the sudden fire in his chest and belly, Sun Weiqi spoke slowly.

His low, sexy voice, like a grand piano softly playing, made Lin Mengting shrink her neck, suppressing the tingling sensation spreading from her waist.

“My feelings for you are as clear as the heavens and the earth, as bright as the sun and the moon. I never said I didn’t believe you.” Lin Mengting pouted, sounding a bit aggrieved and playful, “I just think your invitation to spend the New Year at the army base isn’t as simple as you say.”

“Okay, my fault.” Sun Weiqi admitted his mistake without hesitation and suggested a punishment, “I’ll go to the mountains tomorrow to buy you a lot of wild delicacies.”

“Wild delicacies?” These simple words rekindled Lin Mengting’s foodie spirit, “Like what?”

“Mushrooms, black fungus, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, ginkgo, venison, rabbit meat…” Each item Sun Weiqi mentioned made Lin Mengting’s eyes light up more, until they shone as brightly as a small sun!

“I want them all.” After blurting this out, Lin Mengting felt a bit embarrassed and covered her face, asking softly, “Is it too much? Too troublesome?”

“No trouble at all.” Sun Weiqi replied without thinking. This was the perfect way to please his girlfriend, no matter how troublesome.

Besides, it wasn’t really that much trouble!

“Tomorrow, I’ll go with some comrades to the locals to buy these things.”

Having helpers was great!

Lin Mengting nodded, reassured, and softly said, “I’ll give you an address. Can you send a package for me?”

“No problem!” Sun Weiqi agreed readily, his excitement and joy evident in his tone.

It was clear that the address Lin Mengting provided was her home address!

This would make it easier to send things to her parents in the future, earning their favor.

Fantastic!
