Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 193
“I heard that Yu Xiaodong has a girlfriend at the teacher’s college. She’s now teaching music at the town’s elementary school. I heard she wants to stay and teach at the town’s middle school just like Yu Xiaodong. However, since they haven’t gotten their marriage certificate yet, the Yu family doesn’t agree to this to avoid a ‘chicken flies away, eggs break’ situation. Because of this, Yu Xiaodong is now having a ‘cold war’ with his family! This young girl is quite a formidable character!”
Fang Min said with a face full of emotion. If the schadenfreude in her eyes weren’t so obvious, Lin Mengting might have believed her.
Lin Mengting thoughtfully observed Fang Min. Throughout the hours-long chat, Fang Min had been very careful with her words. Yet, when it came to talking about Yu Xiaodong’s family, her emotions were so clear…
“You like Yu Xiaodong?”
“…Cough!” Fang Min choked on her own saliva, glaring at Lin Mengting in anger and embarrassment, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I like someone like him? He can’t carry a load on his shoulder, nor can he lift with his hands. A gust of wind could blow him away!”
“Oh.” Lin Mengting nodded, seemingly indifferent as she said, “It’s true. Men usually like to find a ‘delicate and charming’ girlfriend. A boy like Yu Xiaodong would surely look for a ‘petite and cute’ girl.”
【Lin Mengting did it on purpose, didn’t she? She must have!】
【Clearly, back then, Fang Min had secretly told Lin Mengting that she liked Yu Xiaodong. Now, after over a year of experience outside, Lin Mengting had become much smarter and more alert. Who would believe she made such an ‘accidental jab’ at Fang Min’s sore spot?】
Fang Min pinched her palm lightly to remind herself not to lose her temper because of Lin Mengting and end up doing something she would regret.
“I always thought you would be the last one in our class to figure things out.” Fang Min never felt her brain work so quickly before. She slowly said, “I never expected you to hide it so well! Tell me, how many boyfriends have you had in these years? And who are you planning to marry? Are you going to have a banquet? Don’t forget to invite us classmates!”
【She planned to spread this gossip and ruin Lin Mengting’s reputation!】
【How foolish she was not to think of such an easy, swift plan that didn’t require her to lift a finger. She could simply use ‘rumors’ to destroy Lin Mengting!】
【Distinguished person? Ha! With such a reputation, no matter how much Lin Mengting tried, in the eyes of those high-up people, she would just be a joke over tea and meals!】
“Huh?!” Lin Mengting looked at Fang Min in a daze, as if stunned by her ‘nonsensical’ words. After a while, she reacted, gave a bitter smile, and said, “Boyfriend? I don’t have the time or mood to date! Our school strictly forbids dating. If caught, you get expelled immediately, no second chances.”
Lin Mengting wasn’t lying.
Back then, a bold student openly dated a pretty girl, showing off their love in front of teachers and classmates. Despite the parents’ pleas and gifts, the school didn’t change its decision to expel him.
In the end, the family had to take their son home in disgrace.
“I don’t believe it!” Fang Min said with a smile. “Our school also forbids dating, but everyone secretly does it. Even the teachers know but just don’t say anything.”
Expect teenagers in their blooming youth to live like monks? Impossible!
“Early love” is something that could never be completely banned!
Moreover, for those attending vocational schools, who would enter society and work after four years, their dating couldn’t be considered “early love”!
Just like college students who also graduate and work after four years can’t be said to be in “early love.”
“You probably don’t know, but in middle school, more than half the boys in our class liked you. Some even openly or secretly confessed to you. Now, in the more relaxed environment of the vocational school, how could they hold back their full hearts and not approach you?”
Since ancient times, “a persistent suitor wins a lady’s heart.” Lin Mengting couldn’t be an exception!
“Well, that didn’t happen.” Lin Mengting didn’t feel much about the boys liking her in middle school.
It’s just that young boys tend to notice girls who are good in studies, fair-skinned, and speak softly.
“You’ve always been a ‘good girl’ who listens to parents and teachers.” Fang Min squinted her eyes. With her people-reading skills, she could tell Lin Mengting wasn’t lying.
— During her school years, Lin Mengting indeed didn’t date!
What a fool!
Only student love is the most precious, purest, and most worth remembering and sacrificing for!!
Especially the vocational school Lin Mengting attended, which seemed ordinary but actually not everyone could apply for and get admitted to!
“But now, you work in S City. Truly ‘far away from home and emperor’s reach.’ No one can control you anymore. Haven’t you relaxed and found a nice boy for a passionate love affair?”
【Take a closer look, Lin Mengting isn’t even that pretty! How do men think these days? One after another falling for Lin Mengting’s ‘charms,’ and each one is better in status, appearance, talent, ability, and power than the last!】
【Such moves, flirting among numerous excellent men like a butterfly among flowers, yet being praised as ‘virtuous and gentle,’ truly laughable!!】
“Sigh…” Lin Mengting sighed deeply, her face full of grievance and bitterness. “I have to work during the day, attend classes in the evening and weekends, and also take part in activities organized by the youth center and associations. I wish I had ‘three heads and six arms’ like Nezha. Do you think I have the time or mood to date?”
