Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 226

Even without thinking too hard, it was obvious that Lin Mengting dressed extravagantly every day. Although a girl her age should indeed dress beautifully, it was a bit too attention-grabbing! Sun Weiqi hesitated between the risk of attracting envious and jealous gazes while taking her out, or being seen with her and getting sympathetic looks from people. In the end, he still chose the first option without hesitation.

Though he felt a bit of regret, Sun Weiqi knew that if he made Lin Mengting dress “ugly,” she would kick him away before anyone else tried to win her over.

Most importantly, he was confident that no one else in the world could treat Lin Mengting as well as he did. So why would Lin Mengting leave him?

In both her past and present lives, Lin Mengting had always loved beauty.

To her, the phrase “a woman dresses up for those who appreciate her” meant dressing up for herself, not for others.

Even in the most difficult times in her past life, she tried to dress up to make herself feel better and more confident, which made everything she did feel smoother.

The only regret was that in her previous life, due to various reasons, by the time she developed an excellent sense of fashion, she was already too old to wear many of the clothes she liked.

Moreover, because of work pressure, long hours, and frequent late nights, she couldn’t maintain a good lifestyle. Over time, her skin and body shape deteriorated, and she had to choose clothes that “highlighted her strengths and hid her weaknesses,” giving up many of her favorite outfits.

Now, having returned to this youthful age with both natural and acquired advantages, how could she treat herself poorly again?

Especially over the past year, she had built connections with many small managers at clothing and accessories factories. With their help, she bought many high-quality, simple, and elegant items at the lowest discount prices that even internal staff couldn’t get!

Since Lin Mengting lived alone, her bedroom door was not closed.

So, after quickly scanning the living room, Sun Weiqi looked towards the bedroom.

If the forest-themed wall stickers in the living room made one feel relaxed and light, then the ocean-themed wall stickers in the bedroom made one feel like a fish swimming in the sea, enjoying the waves.

Fortunately, the fish in the wall stickers were all beautiful and cute, making people happy. Otherwise…

Imagine opening and closing your eyes to see several sharks with their mouths wide open, showing sharp teeth right in front of you?

Yikes! Training your courage shouldn’t be done this way!

The large wardrobe lined up against the wall had equally wonderful and exquisite patterns, while the dressing table with its many bottles and jars, and two huge jewelry and hair accessories holders, created a unique beauty.

Clearly, Lin Mengting still had a bit of “childishness” in her.

And that was great.

The adult world is complicated with too many compromises and helplessness. To avoid being tempted and misled, one must always remember their “original intention.” Only by doing so can one “retain a childlike heart and stay young forever.”

These thoughts flashed through Sun Weiqi’s mind quickly, but then something new caught his attention.

It was the bookshelf covering an entire wall in the living room!

If not for the open window and the wind blowing through the decorative layers of sheer fabric, he might not have noticed this “surprise”!

The densely packed books gave him a feeling of shock.

The books included fashion magazines and movie reviews, industry knowledge, and literature and art books that Lin Mengting loved.

With a swift movement, Sun Weiqi was up from the carpet and in front of the bookshelf, casually opening a book.

Coincidentally, the book he picked was the one he and Lin Mengting had fought over during their “official meeting” at the bookstore—”Appreciation of Calligraphy and Painting through the Ages”!

He could vividly recall Lin Mengting’s every smile and action from that day!

The saying “love comes without knowing where it started and deepens without end” couldn’t be more fitting!

As his thoughts shifted, Sun Weiqi slowly opened the book in his hand.

What was this?

He raised his eyebrows and quickly flipped through a few more books before finally looking at the “brand new” books on the bookshelf, which seemed to be there just for decoration.

Indeed, this girl he liked was different!

Every book had highlighted sentences in different colors and tiny notes in the margins, unlike those “must borrow to read” scholars!

Unaware that Sun Weiqi had thoroughly inspected every corner of her room and glimpsed her true nature, Lin Mengting was pouring essential oils into a bathtub filled with water.

She had mixed these oils according to her past life’s memory, which could quickly relax a tired and tense body, allowing for a good sleep and a return to peak condition.

Sun Weiqi, leaning against the door frame, watched Lin Mengting busying herself. His heart warmed, feeling as though he could fall asleep even without a bath.

Lin Mengting took out a new towel, toothbrush, and pajamas, smiling, “They say ‘when luck comes, you can’t stop it.’ I didn’t believe it before, but now… If you had come a few days earlier or a few days later, you’d have to sleep in dirty clothes after your bath. I bought these things during the end-of-season sale at the mall a few days ago! The pajamas are sized for my dad, but sleeping clothes can be a bit larger. As long as they’re comfortable and of good quality, it’s fine. If you don’t mind, you can take these pajamas back to the base and wear them to sleep.”

“No complaints here!” Although Sun Weiqi felt a bit sour inside, under Lin Mengting’s sharp gaze, he dared not say a word of protest. Unless he wanted to be kicked out and end up staying alone in a hotel!

That feeling couldn’t even be described as “heartache.”

“I’ll take good care of what you bought.”

Lin Mengting gave Sun Weiqi a “good for you” look and said with satisfaction, “Just put your clothes in the washing machine.”
