Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 292

Sun Weiqi “…”

What could he do?

He could only listen quietly, letting the warmth engulf him completely. Meanwhile, to calm Lin Mengting’s resentment as soon as possible, he had to pretend to be in pain, even though it didn’t suit his character.

“Ouch… It hurts… Tingting… Be gentle…”

Unfortunately, Lin Mengting didn’t fall for it.

“Be gentle? If I’m gentle, it won’t work! Don’t you know ‘if there’s pain, it’s blocked; if it’s clear, there’s no pain’? The more it hurts, the more it means that your muscles and bones have been tired for years and have never had a proper rest. You’re just relying on your youth and strong foundation to keep going! When you get older, you’ll regret it! Unfortunately, by then, it will be too late to fix it! In this world, you can buy almost anything with money, but there’s one thing you can’t buy, no matter how much money you have! You know what that is, right? Yes, it’s regret medicine!”

…

Just when Lin Mengting paused halfway through her lecture, Sun Weiqi, sensing the moment, quickly admitted his mistake, “Tingting, I was wrong. From now on, I won’t do it again.”

“Hmph!” Lin Mengting almost rolled her eyes. Even though Sun Weiqi sounded sincere and his eyes didn’t show any guilt, she knew it was unlikely he’d change anytime soon.

To put it simply, it was a kind of “occupational disease.”

And the only way to completely get rid of this disease was to eliminate it at the root!

But was that possible?

Just like how people who sit in the office for long periods are prone to cervical and lumbar spine diseases, those who stay at home as househusbands or housewives are also likely to get these diseases.

In the end, people eat grains; how can they not get sick?

Only by taking preventive measures can one live a healthy life into old age.

Even if it’s not possible, one should minimize the potential for illness.

“I’m telling you, if I see you next time and you still look like a tired panda, don’t even think about entering my house!”

Sensing Lin Mengting’s change in mood, Sun Weiqi couldn’t help but joke, “Pandas are national treasures. Is it okay for you to dislike them?”

“What do you think?!” Lin Mengting gave Sun Weiqi a sideways glance, her eyes full of warning.

“Alright, whatever you say!” Sun Weiqi quickly surrendered, as if he were not the usual decisive person who never wavered in his decisions.

“After these few months of training, I’ll have a half-month vacation. Then, we’ll visit your parents, and after that, we’ll find time to visit my family and see my grandpa, my parents, and the others.”

And then?

Of course, the elders would set a date for their engagement!

If he couldn’t marry Lin Mengting immediately, he had to use an engagement to declare his claim to the world!

“Isn’t this a bit too fast?” Lin Mengting blinked in confusion, not expecting Sun Weiqi to think so far ahead, barely a year into their relationship.

“I think it’s too slow. If it weren’t for the fact that the team was busy recently and my grandpa and parents were also very busy and rarely at home, I would have taken you home during the National Day holiday.”

Sun Weiqi shook his head, his eyes lingering on Lin Mengting’s slender, fair fingers that had lightly brushed his eyelids. He couldn’t resist holding her hand and estimating her ring size with the sharp eyes and hands honed during his time as a scout.

“Before I met you, I never believed in ‘love at first sight’ or ‘eternal love at first glance.’ After meeting you, I finally understood that the love discussed in TV dramas and novels is indeed mysterious and unavoidable! No wonder the ancients said ‘heroes fall for beauties.’ It’s true!”

“Let go!” Lin Mengting’s mouth twitched, giving Sun Weiqi a sideways glance.

Did he think a few sweet words would make her drop the subject?!

“Don’t you feel much more relaxed after my skillful massage?”

As expected, Sun Weiqi’s expression stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately gave her a thumbs up, praising, “Tingting, your skills are the best!”

“Of course!” Lin Mengting lifted her chin proudly. She had interned for a whole month in the massage department of a top hospital!

The chief physician who mentored her had even developed a set of techniques specifically for treating and preventing various chronic diseases!

Look at her proud, or rather smug, little expression!

To Sun Weiqi, she only looked more adorable and lovable, making him feel like he had found a real gem.

Girls like Lin Mengting, who were both talented and beautiful, even though she came from an ordinary family, her cultivated demeanor was not inferior to those from prestigious families. In fact, her ability to handle people and situations far surpassed other girls her age from noble families. She was an excellent future mistress of the household!

Most importantly, a girl like her, without a powerful family background, was actually more desirable for top aristocratic families. Because her family wouldn’t cause trouble or drag their in-laws into trouble if they ever got into a mess!

As for “family alliances,” where families help each other?

Ha!

For families where each member had their own strengths and none were “freeloaders,” they didn’t care about such alliances.

After all, not every family was as harmonious as his own, with no internal strife!

Especially in a military family like Sun Weiqi’s!

In a flash of thought, Sun Weiqi decided he couldn’t let this gem be taken by someone else. Otherwise, he’d be so filled with regret and frustration that even running into a wall a hundred times wouldn’t help!

“Tingting, it’s settled then!”

“What?!” Lin Mengting didn’t expect Sun Weiqi to bring back the previous topic, so she pretended not to understand.

Sun Weiqi firmly shattered her illusion, saying, “This New Year, I’ll go home with you.”
