Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 277

Soft, gentle music flowed out from the slightly open door.

“Back to back, sitting on the carpet, listening to music and chatting about wishes…”

Huh?

Lin Mengting’s footsteps paused for a moment, then quickened. Even her usually calm face was replaced by joy and excitement.

Indeed, the music was coming from her own room.

“Ah Qi?!”

Sun Weiqi, who was busy in the kitchen, poked his head out upon hearing her voice, “Tingting, take a rest first. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Lin Mengting changed into her slippers, hung up her bag, and walked to the kitchen door. She smiled at Sun Weiqi, who looked extra gentle in a Mickey Mouse apron, “When did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? I could have picked you up!”

Sun Weiqi “…”

How could a man let his little girlfriend come to pick him up?

If word got out, he’d be ridiculed by his comrades for a lifetime, even in the afterlife. Of course, he couldn’t say that.

Otherwise, Lin Mengting might “flip out” and he’d end up “losing both the wife and the soldiers.”

So, Sun Weiqi softly said, “I wanted to surprise you.”

“Really?!” Lin Mengting tilted her head slightly. For some reason, she sensed Sun Weiqi’s “concealment.”

In a flash, she understood his concerns and almost laughed out loud. Luckily, she controlled herself; otherwise, it would have been really awkward!

However, the next moment, the deep meaning behind Sun Weiqi’s actions made her feel warm and fuzzy, as if soaking in a hot spring.

“I like it a lot.” Lin Mengting’s eyes curved, her long lashes hiding a mischievous glint.

What could be more satisfying than finding someone who loves you more than themselves?

“Surprises like this can happen often.”

Life shouldn’t be too bland. If it is, over time, people might grow bored. So, lovers should create “surprises” for each other to make life colorful.

Unaware of the many “naughty ideas” swirling in Lin Mengting’s mind, and how colorful his life would become, Sun Weiqi finished washing and chopping the vegetables, then prepared to “shoo” her away.

“I’m about to start cooking. Go watch TV in the living room. The kitchen smoke is bad for your skin.”

“Okay.” Lin Mengting cheerfully agreed and watched the kitchen door close in front of her.

After staying in place for a while, she happily returned to the living room.

Fifteen minutes later, the kitchen door opened, and Sun Weiqi came out carrying a large tray.

Braised pork ribs, steamed osmanthus fish, hand-pulled chicken, stuffed bitter melon tofu, cold mixed three shreds, soup with pea shoots, and seaweed egg drop soup.

“Smells so good! And such a feast! This is what ‘perfect in color, aroma, and taste’ means!”

After sincerely praising the dishes, Lin Mengting looked at Sun Weiqi with concern, “Can we finish all this? Just to be clear, I don’t want to overeat and then have to go downstairs for a walk to digest.”

“Don’t worry, I can finish it.” Sun Weiqi’s “barefaced lie” was so convincing that he even fooled Lin Mengting, a girl who made a living with her eloquence.

Or rather, they were like “one willing to hit, the other willing to endure.”

After nearly a year of dating, they knew each other well—maybe not entirely, but quite a bit!

Both were straightforward and didn’t hide their true selves from each other. So, Sun Weiqi had already estimated Lin Mengting’s appetite during their time together!

But no girl wants to be called a “glutton,” preferring to be a “foodie” instead!

This is just human nature and must be understood.

…

Lin Mengting lay on the sofa, satisfied with her full belly, like a lazy cat ready to nap. She asked, “How long will you stay this time?”

“About a week.”

Even in the cozy, relaxing living room, after a hearty meal, at a time when most people would be sleepy, Sun Weiqi sat upright, full of energy.

Lin Mengting didn’t mind. After all, habits form in twenty-eight days.

So far, Sun Weiqi had spent most of his time in the army, forming a habit of self-discipline, which was perfectly normal.

However, this didn’t mean Lin Mengting wouldn’t playfully tease him.

Right now, she turned around, rested her head on Sun Weiqi’s chest, found a comfortable position, grabbed his fingers, and playfully asked, “Really a week?”

Before he could answer, she added with a smile, “Judging from past experiences, the actual time you get for yourself is usually half of that.”

“Cough…” Sun Weiqi felt a bit embarrassed. He was used to being on the front line, accustomed to “365 days a year, no rest.” Changing this habit suddenly wasn’t easy.

“Maybe just for these few years. Once we’re married, it won’t be like this.”

“Oh.” Lin Mengting responded casually, not taking it seriously.

After all, Sun Weiqi was a soldier, destined to prioritize the country over everything, sacrificing the small family for the greater good.

This was something she had considered before getting together with him and could bear the responsibilities and duties of being a “military spouse.”

“If I quit and started my own business, what do you think?”

“What happened?” Sun Weiqi’s brow furrowed, and his gentle demeanor disappeared, replaced by a serious tone.

“Is someone bullying you at work? Or those four people we met at the hot spring last time came to harass you again?”

Sun Weiqi never underestimated anyone, knowing that some could be “barefoot and fearless” scoundrels.

So, the night they encountered those four, he had already called his comrades in S City to investigate and had taken some measures against them in the following months.
