Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 270

Unfortunately, no matter what others said, Lin Mengting didn’t take it seriously.

In her view, Sun Weiqi was a truly strong-willed person with a resilient mind. His rare moments of gloom and frustration weren’t due to any typical battle or betrayal trauma.

Long ago, Sun Weiqi had sensed something off about that friend, and with Lin Mengting’s hints about the future, he had deliberately excluded that friend from this mission.

So, strictly speaking, this mission didn’t suffer much from that friend’s betrayal. There was no terrible failure in this important and challenging task.

Everything was under Sun Weiqi’s control.

Now, the reason Sun Weiqi looked so down was more about feeling powerless and sad.

After all, while he wasn’t close enough to trust that friend with his life, they had still been quite close.

The most heartbreaking thing is the betrayal of someone close to you, especially when the reason is something as ridiculous as jealousy, one of the seven deadly sins.

…

Lin Mengting didn’t know all the details but could guess some of it.

In her view, the mental pressure and emotional stress were temporary. With some time, Sun Weiqi would adjust on his own.

Lin Mengting thought that instead of staying in a quiet sanatorium, where he would constantly be reminded of his patient status, it would be better for Sun Weiqi to travel. Seeing beautiful nature and experiencing the genuine smiles and laughter of the people he protected would help him heal.

Natural healing is always better than artificial methods. This was a conclusion Lin Mengting had reached after facing many difficulties and dangers in her past life.

With this experience, she had avoided many emotional breakdowns.

Now, Sun Weiqi was mentally stronger than she had been, so he would surely overcome this obstacle easily.

But this was something that outsiders couldn’t help with directly. They could only influence him subtly to help him get through it quickly.

So, Lin Mengting planned to give him a peaceful and relaxing environment, letting him truly have the freedom to adjust his mood.

…

At the market, usually frequented by older women, there was an unusual sight.

A young, pretty girl walked in front.

Behind her, a man with a ruggedly handsome look, though dark-skinned, followed her.

He was carrying many bags, hanging from his hands, neck, and shoulders, making him look like a human shopping cart.

This drew many admiring and envious looks. The crowd looked at Sun Weiqi with approval and at Lin Mengting with envy.

It was clear they were a couple with a slight age difference but very close and in love.

The older women sighed because their own husbands had never gone shopping with them, let alone carried bags so willingly like this young man.

“Do you think after today, some of these ladies will wait here just to see you?” Lin Mengting asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “You’ve become the perfect son-in-law in their eyes. Do you like it? Are you touched? Excited? Happy?”

With each question, Sun Weiqi nodded, making the bags around his neck bob up and down.

The weight and effort were obvious.

Finally, Lin Mengting felt a bit guilty for “bullying” him and pointed to a large supermarket nearby. “Let’s go there next.”

“Okay,” Sun Weiqi agreed without hesitation, secretly thinking that what he had read in books was really useful!

See, now Lin Mengting was no longer sulking about his earlier lack of honesty.

But soon, Sun Weiqi realized that surprises never end and often come when least expected.

“This… is for me?” he asked.

When Lin Mengting walked straight to the men’s section in the store, he thought she was buying clothes for her family again. He felt a bit disappointed, wondering when she would consider him part of her family.

But now, it was like a huge pie had fallen from the sky, perfectly suited to his taste!

It was all for him!

Lin Mengting glanced at Sun Weiqi. Although she had a few failed relationships in her past life due to constant troubles, her experience made her sensitive to his feelings of “hope” and “expectation.”

“If you don’t like it, I’ll just send it back,” she said.

“No! No!!” Sun Weiqi quickly shook his head, showing his excitement. “I love it! I love it so much I can’t even speak!”

Seeing his eagerness, Lin Mengting smiled. “You’re my boyfriend. If I don’t buy clothes for you, who should I buy them for?”

For her, choosing the perfect gift wasn’t difficult, especially for someone she saw as a lifelong partner.

Receiving clothes as a gift, especially personal items like underwear and socks, made Sun Weiqi feel like he was soaking in a hot spring, with every pore in his body relaxing and screaming “comfortable!”
