Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 187

Perhaps the heavens heard Lin Mengting’s “complaints,” and without hesitation, sent her a “big surprise.”

That afternoon, as Lin Mengting sat on the sofa, bored, flipping through TV channels with the remote, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Lin Mengting asked as she lowered the TV volume, got up, and walked to the door to open it.

Standing outside was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. She wore a cream-colored hooded short down jacket, a red and white plaid wool skirt, and knee-high black boots. With her head slightly tilted, she smiled sweetly, giving off a particularly “cute and innocent” vibe.

Especially with her light brown curly hair, long and curled eyelashes, cherry-like pink lips, and fair, rosy complexion, she looked like a living doll, making people subconsciously want to get closer.

Even Lin Mengting wasn’t immune.

Despite her rich life experience from two lifetimes, seeing such a girl who perfectly matched her fantasy, she couldn’t help but feel a moment of disorientation.

But she quickly regained her composure and looked at the girl with a curious and slightly probing gaze, “Excuse me, who are you looking for?”

“Tingting, don’t you recognize me?” The young girl blinked her eyes, looking hurt, “No wonder the elders always say ‘important people have short memories’!”

【Look at this, my elementary and middle school classmate and so-called friend for nine years! Four years of not seeing each other and she completely forgets about me!】

【No wonder she treated me like that in our past lives!】

【But so what? In the end, Lin Mengting owed me in our past lives, so in this life, blessed by the heavens, I should avenge myself against her!】

Lin Mengting “…”

Unexpectedly, another “reborn” person!

Should she say that heaven truly “favors” her? Even returning to her hometown, she can’t have a moment of peace!

“You are…” Upon closer inspection, the girl did look somewhat familiar!

Several names flashed through Lin Mengting’s mind, finally settling on one that surprised her, “Fang Min?”

“Oh!” The young girl, Fang Min, finally dropped her aggrieved expression and smiled through her tears, “I thought you’d need me to introduce myself before you recognized me!”

“Seeing you, I truly understand the saying ‘girls change a lot during their teenage years and become more beautiful’.” Lin Mengting complimented her appropriately, though inwardly amused.

In her previous life, Fang Min transferred from a rural elementary school to the town school in fifth grade and became her classmate. Although they interacted through middle school, they never became close friends!

Did Fang Min’s rebirth mess up her memories? Or were they from different timelines?

With this thought, Lin Mengting slightly stepped aside, inviting her in with a smile, “Fang Min, where are you teaching now?”

This was Lin Mengting’s way of testing her theory.

In her memory, Fang Min taught at a rural elementary school after finishing her teaching degree.

“You!” Fang Min shook her head, casually glancing around the house. A flash of something dark crossed her eyes, but she maintained her nostalgic expression.

“Despite being classmates for so many years, I wrote my home address in your yearbook when you graduated, yet you never contacted any of us after starting vocational school! Even during summer and winter breaks, it was impossible to find you! Sometimes, I wondered if you ever considered us friends? Otherwise, why wouldn’t you reach out to any of us?”

“Well…” Lin Mengting smiled awkwardly, “It wasn’t intentional. You know, I studied rehabilitation medicine, a field with a good future but new and lacking suitable textbooks. In such a ‘no help available’ situation, the school gave us university-level textbooks, and our exams were only slightly easier than university exams.”

As she spoke, Lin Mengting seemed to reminisce about those tough days, smiling nostalgically, “Back then, I felt like it was harder than the final year of middle school! I just wanted to finish the four years quickly and live a free and easy life. Unfortunately, after four years of hard study, we didn’t even have time to go home before the school packed us off to hospitals for internships! Finally, when the internship ended, it was another hectic time…” Lin Mengting shook her head, “Even during holidays, we were ‘requisitioned’!”

“Looks like your school really put a lot of effort into you.” Fang Min’s words carried a fleeting hint of envy.

Nowadays, few schools offered internships during holidays, allowing students to gain practical experience quickly.

To become a competent doctor, practical skills were crucial.

“That’s because we were free labor!” Lin Mengting half-joked, but didn’t plan to discuss this further. Instead, she steered the conversation back to Fang Min’s situation, “What about you? How are you now? You must be doing well, right? Back then, you were the best in our class, with excellent grades and a family of teachers. You had a strong academic background!”

“Sigh…” Fang Min sighed, “If only it were that simple.”

She paused, giving Lin Mengting a meaningful look, “You know, I loved math and chemistry and excelled in both. But after being assigned to that rural elementary school, they had me teaching moral education.”

Everyone knew that moral education classes were often taught by less educated substitute teachers who just read from the textbook!

For someone as proud as Fang Min, this was unacceptable.
