Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 291

After finishing their meal, Lin Mengting lounged lazily on the sofa like a cat that had just eaten its fill. She alternated between admiring the view outside the window and watching the images on the television screen.

Of course, most of the time, she was contentedly watching Sun Weiqi busy in the kitchen.

Having a boyfriend and not having one are indeed two different things!

Not to mention other things, just the fact that now, two years after her rebirth, she could no longer remember the solitary life of “enjoying freedom” from her previous life!

The feeling of having one more person in the empty house, rather than one less, truly made her involuntarily indulge in it. Such daily interactions became a warm part of her very being, something she could no longer live without.

…

Soon, Sun Weiqi had finished tidying up the kitchen and brewed a pot of digestive honey hawthorn tea.

The familiar aroma of the tea, due to the different person brewing it, made Lin Mengting smile.

It felt as if a little sun was residing inside her, and the shadows and gloom from both her past and present lives silently dissipated like rainwater under the sun, leaving no trace behind.

Without hesitation, she used Sun Weiqi’s chest as a pillow and found a comfortable position. After taking a sip from the teacup he brought to her lips, Lin Mengting asked, “How long will you stay this time?”

Sun Weiqi paused and then a look of difficulty and apology appeared on his face, “There is a meeting I must attend the day after tomorrow afternoon, so at most, I can stay until tomorrow night.”

“You!” Lin Mengting glared at Sun Weiqi, her heart a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite name—whether touched, sour, guilty, or uneasy.

In the end, why had Sun Weiqi rushed over to see her so hurriedly? Wasn’t it all for her and their love?

“As long as you are willing and don’t give up first, I will always be here waiting for you.”

“I know.” Sun Weiqi nodded, his arms tightening around Lin Mengting’s waist as he rested his chin on her head without speaking further.

It seemed as if he used this gesture to calm the hidden unease and anxiety within him, and also to convey the intense love and deep longing that burned within him.

“We haven’t seen each other for 33 days. I missed you a lot. If I didn’t come to see you today, who knows when we’d see each other again.”

Lin Mengting, however, didn’t agree, “Even so, you shouldn’t have rushed over like this! When you rarely get time off, you should stay in the barracks, relax your body and mind, and get a thorough rest! Didn’t I tell you ‘health is the foundation of revolution’? Without good health, you can’t achieve anything in the future!”

As she spoke, Lin Mengting gently moved and looked at the dark circles under Sun Weiqi’s eyes and the red blood vessels in them, unable to resist reaching out to touch them, filled with concern.

It seemed Sun Weiqi had been dealing with particularly troublesome tasks recently.

While she couldn’t help him with those tasks, she could offer him mental and emotional support.

Sun Weiqi listened quietly to Lin Mengting’s nagging, his expression softening.

Actually, his elders and family had said these things to him countless times.

But he had never taken those words to heart before. To him, the world was cold, unfeeling, and cruel. He didn’t care how long he would live.

That’s why he kept taking on difficult and troublesome missions.

Because in those missions, he felt alive and connected to society.

Now, hearing Lin Mengting’s caring words, he felt as if a spring had suddenly bubbled up in his long-dried heart, gradually nourishing his barren land.

…

“Lie down!” Sun Weiqi, immersed in this rare sentiment, was bewildered and instinctively looked up at Lin Mengting, “Huh?”

“Huh what? Lie down when I tell you to!” Lin Mengting, as agile as an eel, slipped out of Sun Weiqi’s embrace, one hand on her hip and the other poking his forehead.

Sun Weiqi, still bewildered, obediently lay down.

Anyone who knew Lin Mengting or Sun Weiqi would be shocked to see this scene and think that the sun must have risen in the west. Otherwise, how could they witness such a startling sight?!

Wasn’t Lin Mengting supposed to be a gentle, soft, cute, understanding, and well-mannered girl?

And Sun Weiqi? Wasn’t he supposed to be an aloof, reserved soldier with a stern face, rarely uttering more than a few words?

Now, he was obedient and dazed, like a “Husband Under Control.”

Just imagine when he actually marries Lin Mengting!

Wouldn’t he completely turn into a “Devoted Husband?”

But the warm and intimate atmosphere between the two made it hard to decide whether to envy or be jealous. It could only make one howl to the sky this is really blinding to their titanium-alloy dog eyes!

Of course, all this was beside the point.

At this moment, due to Lin Mengting’s unexpected behavior, Sun Weiqi finally snapped out of his bewilderment.

“Tingting…”

A simple and ordinary call, yet filled with complex emotions.

No wonder, as Lin Mengting was now giving Sun Weiqi a massage!

“What?!” Lin Mengting glared at Sun Weiqi, decisively pressing his lifted head back down, not forgetting to scold him, “Relax! If you don’t relax, how can I give you a massage?”

“Look at your body! Tsk tsk… You’re not even thirty yet, but your muscles and bones are as tense as those of a seventy or eighty-year-old who has worked hard all their life! Aren’t you the one who always tells me ‘health is the foundation of revolution’? So, have you followed that yourself? Or are you one of those who ‘talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk’? Or do you plan to end your intense and exhausting military career early and start a relaxed retirement life, holding a cup of tea and a newspaper from morning to night?”
