Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 289

Lin Mengting always knew when to quit while she was ahead. After applying a thick layer of lip balm to Sun Weiqi’s lips, she pushed away his body, which had been inching closer, and gave him a sharp look before heading to the bathroom to fill the tub with hot water.

When she returned, she found that Sun Weiqi had already devoured more than half of the fruit and snacks she had prepared and drank an entire pot of tea!

As Sun Weiqi reached for another piece of dessert, Lin Mengting stopped him, “Go take a bath first.”

His fingers paused, and he slowly looked up at her, his lips moving slightly, a look of longing and hope on his face.

He was eager to taste more of the new snacks his little girlfriend had painstakingly prepared. If he didn’t stuff himself while he still had room, wouldn’t he regret it when he went back to the base and could only dream about them?

But Lin Mengting wasn’t buying it.

Left with no choice, Sun Weiqi dejectedly withdrew his hand and, under Lin Mengting’s stern gaze, moved slowly towards the bathroom like a pitiful little animal, hoping she’d change her mind.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengting ignored him.

Extremely fatigued and daring to binge eat?

Was he trying to kill himself?!

…

Whether it was the soothing lavender essential oil in the bath, the knowledge that his beloved girl was outside preparing things for him, or the cozy and serene atmosphere of the home…

Soon, Sun Weiqi felt his heart completely calm down. Staring at the simple yet distinctive bathroom decor, the deep-seated fatigue and weariness, usually overlooked, surged forth like waves crashing against the rocks.

As he soaked, Sun Weiqi fell asleep in the warm bath.

When Lin Mengting finished cooking and waited in the living room for a while, she became worried and went to check on him, only to find him sound asleep in the tub, snoring softly from his deep fatigue.

This was the first time Lin Mengting had seen Sun Weiqi’s sleeping face.

In his sleep, his sharp features softened, and he looked as innocent as a newborn baby.

This side of Sun Weiqi was completely different from his usual cold and intimidating demeanor.

The “cute contrast” made Lin Mengting gasp, stopping her from taking another step forward.

There was just one problem he wasn’t wearing anything!

Did this mean she was about to get an unexpected, real-life experience of something she’d only seen in posters and TV dramas in her past lives?

This seemed a bit too lustful, didn’t it?

It turns out that every woman has a beast inside, locked up until the right moment unleashes it?!

…

For a moment, Lin Mengting’s thoughts ran wild, and she couldn’t pull them back.

Meanwhile, this highlighted the difference between a trained special forces soldier and an ordinary person.

The moment Lin Mengting opened the bathroom door, Sun Weiqi was alerted.

He was about to jump up instinctively when his rational mind kicked in, realizing the situation and stopping his movement.

In fact, he couldn’t deny that a part of him wanted to see what Lin Mengting would do in this scenario.

Unfortunately, whether she sensed his unspoken, indecent thoughts or not, Lin Mengting stopped in the doorway without making a sound, just standing there in a daze.

—It seemed she found the scene too awkward, or she was contemplating how to wake him, or debating whether to run out.

With these thoughts swirling, Sun Weiqi blinked as if just waking up and said to Lin Mengting, “Tingting, I’m coming out now. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Ah, okay!” Lin Mengting responded instinctively, quickly realizing the situation and retreating outside. The rare feelings of embarrassment and shyness surged, making her cheeks flush and her eyes dart nervously, her voice slightly trembling.

“Hurry up and come out. Don’t stay in too long, or you’ll catch a cold!”

The loud “bang” of the door closing confirmed to Sun Weiqi her current state. His eyes sparkled, and a smile spread across his face, revealing his bright white teeth against his tan skin.

How could his little girl be so cute?!

…

When Sun Weiqi came out in a bathrobe, the dining table was laden with a sumptuous meal.

Smelling the aroma of the food and seeing Lin Mengting bustling in the living room, for a moment, Sun Weiqi felt his eyes sting with emotion.

At that moment, Lin Mengting turned and saw him leaning against the bathroom door, gazing at her with a complex expression.

What kind of look was that?

Like the warm sun shining on her, but with a breeze taking away the heat, making her feel warm inside, she couldn’t help but want to indulge in the beauty of the moment.

Of course, this also brought a sense of heavy responsibility.

At that moment, Lin Mengting finally understood what “one look, a thousand years” meant and better comprehended the seriousness with which soldiers approached love and marriage.

In such a love and marriage, even if they were in different places, the sacrifices they made couldn’t simply be measured by “who gave more and who gave less.”

Certainly, it couldn’t be judged by the superficial rule of “the one who falls in love first loses”!
