Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 232

“No wonder he’s the captain, so impressive!”

“Exactly! Not only did he quickly win over the girl he liked, but she also prepared all this for him. I’m so jealous!”

“Captain is someone to envy. Strong, handsome, from a good family, and now even his girlfriend is so gentle and virtuous. It makes us rough guys look bad!”

“Man, you can’t compare people’s lives. Even I, who just got married this year, envy the captain! When I left home, my wife only prepared some snacks for the train and a few local specialties. Most of the things I brought back were packed by my mom. And I was already very touched by that. Compared to the captain, it’s enough to make me cry!”

“I’m worse off than all of you. I’ve been in the army for years, and my wife has never thought of sending me anything. Even when I go home on leave, I can only bring back a few local specialties. Unlike the captain, who hasn’t even married his girlfriend yet and she’s already taking such good care of him! Imagine how much more she’ll send after they’re married!”

“Why can’t I find a wife as caring and virtuous as Sun’s?”

Hidden in the crowd, Old Li, who had orchestrated this scene, noticed the glowing eyes of everyone eyeing the mountain of packages. Despite Sun Weiqi not opening the boxes or bags, he still glared at Old Li with a look of warning.

“Old Sun, open the packages and let us see! It’ll help us know what standards to set when looking for a wife!”

An older soldier chimed in, “Hey, Deputy, you can’t compare to the captain’s luck! If you can find a wife half as good as his, consider yourself blessed!”

With someone leading, others quickly joined in.

“That’s right! Deputy, you’re always joking around. If you can find a wife willing to marry you, you’re already lucky. Don’t ask for too much!”

“Exactly! Unless the captain’s girlfriend has a sister, then maybe you can beg him to introduce you and get lucky!”

“This makes sense,” Old Li said, rubbing his chin. He knew better than anyone how exceptional the girl Sun Weiqi had found was. If the older sister was so outstanding, the younger one couldn’t be far behind. “Old Sun, next time you see your girl, bring me along?”

He noticed Sun Weiqi’s increasingly dark expression, realizing his friend didn’t want him to play third wheel. Mentally, he grumbled about Sun’s priorities.

Where was the saying “Brothers before others”?

“Tsk!” Old Li continued, “Maybe introduce her sister so we can have dinner together and get to know each other. It’ll be good to have more connections.”

But to Sun Weiqi, this suggestion sounded sleazy.

“No sister,” Sun Weiqi replied flatly, dashing Old Li’s hopes.

Old Li deflated like a popped balloon. Having known Sun Weiqi for years, he knew his friend never lied.

So, his dream of a caring wife vanished.

Feeling the sting of disappointment, Old Li decided to share the burden.

“Don’t you all want to see what the captain’s girlfriend prepared for him?” he called out.

Everyone watching was eager for a closer look and a taste of the food.

“Yes! Absolutely!” they all chorused, especially the older soldiers.

Sun Weiqi’s stern expression didn’t deter them.

After all, they outnumbered him!

“So…” Old Li began, clearly aiming to share the spoils. No one in their team was stingy about sharing what they got from home, including Sun Weiqi. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easily ambushed.

Having successfully cornered Sun Weiqi, Old Li called out, “Start opening the packages!”

Sun Weiqi made a token struggle, but it was futile. He could only watch as everyone eagerly tore into the boxes.

But Old Li wasn’t done.

He signaled a few senior soldiers, who immediately pounced on Sun Weiqi, pinning him down and laughing as they mockingly patted him down.

Sun Weiqi’s face turned darker than charcoal.

“What are you doing? Let go!”

Usually, Sun Weiqi could handle ten men alone, but caught off guard and pinned by his experienced comrades, he could only protest uselessly.

The feeling was truly bitter.
