Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 272

Soon, the enticing aroma of food spread through the gap in the door, successfully capturing Lin Mengting, the foodie.

When Sun Weiqi opened the kitchen door and walked out with a large tray, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but stand up. She moved towards him, twitching her cute little nose like a greedy kitten, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Sun Weiqi. “It smells so good!”

“If you like it, eat more.” Sun Weiqi shook his head, refusing Lin Mengting’s attempt to take the tray. He walked to the dining table, placed the dishes from the tray one by one, and when Lin Mengting opened the rice cooker to serve the rice, he pushed her aside.

“Be careful, it’s hot. Let me do it.”

Lin Mengting’s eyes turned into crescents with her smile, looking every bit like a mischievous fox spirit.

…

When they finally sat down at the table, before Lin Mengting could pick up her chopsticks, her bowl was already filled with all sorts of her favorite dishes by Sun Weiqi.

In this situation, Lin Mengting could only enjoy the delicious food while sincerely praising Sun Weiqi.

“It’s so delicious!”

“The flavor is really amazing!”

“Ah Qi, you’re incredible!”

…

These seemingly plain compliments made Sun Weiqi feel as if he had drunk a huge barrel of honey, the sweetness spreading from his tongue to his whole body.

So, at this moment, Sun Weiqi couldn’t help but repeat Lin Mengting’s earlier words, saying, “From now on, the kitchen is mine!”

He had already made up his mind to learn cooking from the skilled chefs in the military kitchen and even seek out some real master chefs privately to learn all their techniques.

In the future, he would cook different dishes for Lin Mengting every day, all year round!

“Alright!” Lin Mengting agreed with a smile. No matter how exaggerated Sun Weiqi’s words were, at this moment, he was sincere and genuinely wanted to share the household chores.

That was enough.

The future could be managed slowly…

After dinner, Lin Mengting took Sun Weiqi for a walk in the square downstairs to aid digestion.

As she introduced the various facilities in the square to Sun Weiqi, she couldn’t help but use a “gossip” tone to speculate on what the people passing by were thinking and what they were busy with every day.

When she saw cats and dogs, she would show an envious expression and quietly wonder if these pets had intelligence. If they did, wouldn’t that mean they were actually the ones raising humans and walking humans?

…

In short, at this moment, Lin Mengting was truly demonstrating how a woman could “gossip” about anything and let her imagination run wild.

Sun Weiqi had encountered women like this before.

But back then, he privately thought these women were just like “five hundred ducks quacking.” Now…

This mischievous, lively, and lovely Lin Mengting made the frustration and helplessness that had been lingering in his chest slowly fade away. Subconsciously, he felt that time was too short and far from enough.

The so-called “one glance and it’s eternity” was no more than this.

…

In the days that followed, Lin Mengting truly “took care” of Sun Weiqi in every aspect of life.

However, this so-called “care” often made it unclear to others who was taking care of whom.

For example, Lin Mengting planned to make some healthy and soothing meals for Sun Weiqi every day, but in the end, it was Sun Weiqi who did the cooking.

Or when Lin Mengting planned to show Sun Weiqi around S City to taste the local specialties, they ended up getting lost, and it was Sun Weiqi who led them back in the area Lin Mengting was most familiar with.

Or when Lin Mengting enthusiastically planned a detailed tour and brought the best camera to document their journey, she ended up monopolizing everything.

…

Yet, even so, Sun Weiqi enjoyed every bit of it.

It could only be said that these two were a classic case of “one enjoys the beat, the other endures the hit.”

Just like now, Sun Weiqi abandoned his usual reluctance to “join the crowd” and dislike for too much physical contact, squeezing through a bustling crowd just to buy a local delicacy for Lin Mengting.

By the time his neatly dressed clothes were wrinkled, his smooth forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked a bit disheveled, he still tightly held onto the food and walked towards the smiling Lin Mengting. The “killing intent” and “bloodthirsty” aura that once made people tremble with fear had long vanished without a trace.

In its place was a serenity that came from seeing through the bustling world.

If someone familiar with Sun Weiqi were present, they probably wouldn’t believe that the gentle-looking man in front of them was the same cold, expressionless ice mountain they knew!

“When I was young, I read the essay ‘The Scenery of Guilin is the Best in the World’ and always fantasized about going to Guilin to experience the unique beauty of a small boat drifting, creating ripples, and the reflections of mountains and water. When I got to junior high school, I read the essay about the sea and the petrel, and from then on, I had a great longing for the sea, always thinking that I would work in a coastal city in the future. On weekends, I would go to the beach to play freely. I’d take off my shoes, feel the soft sand slipping through my toes, and sometimes when the waves hit, I’d either break the waves with my feet or be chased by the surging waves, running desperately back to the shore. When the tide receded, I’d see the seawater flowing away in front of me, suddenly feeling a sense of ‘not knowing where I was.’ All the sadness and frustration would be taken away by the seawater, leaving behind gifts from the sea on the soft beach—a few beautiful shells or a drifting bottle from who knows where. Whenever I felt bad, I’d go for a walk by the sea, experiencing the unique feeling of the sea breeze blowing away all my worries. When I was in a good mood, I’d also go for a walk by the sea, appreciating its unique beauty. If I could see the sunrise or sunset, that would be even better.”
