Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 299

Night fell.

The sky was dotted with stars, complementing the city’s neon lights.

Distant mountains shrouded in smog became barely visible.

A light breeze occasionally brushed past, bringing the unique coolness of early autumn. Yet, the streets were still filled with young girls in shorts and T-shirts.

Some walked briskly, others leisurely, and some with faces full of anticipation…

From time to time, a group of lively children ran past, laughing and playing.

Such is the variety of life.

Having not finished work at seven in the evening for a long time, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but marvel at the change, feeling as if the heavy weight on her shoulders had been lifted, leaving her relaxed and at ease.

Unbeknownst to her, the deep-seated frustration and restlessness within her had quietly dissipated, as if they had never existed.

“Power outage?”

Stepping out of the elevator, Lin Mengting was greeted by pitch darkness.

A mischievous child had apparently opened the stairway windows.

The cold wind howled in, sending shivers through Lin Mengting, who suddenly felt a rare sense of fear in the eerie silence, despite her usual fondness for midnight horror films.

Ghosts? No ghosts?

What am I thinking?

There are no ghosts in this world!

Wait, if there are no ghosts, then how do I explain my rebirth and the rebirth of Qin Dong, Qian Zhiyuan, Zheng Gang, and Xu Meili?

Not to mention my mind-reading ability!

So, who’s to say that seeing and communicating with ghosts isn’t possible?

…

Creak!

Bang!

Thud!

In the silence, even the sound of a pin dropping would be startling, let alone these noises. It was enough to make anyone jump!

Even the self-proclaimed “fearless” Lin Mengting couldn’t bear it anymore!

So scary…

That sound behind me, isn’t it human footsteps?

Should I turn around?

The sound is getting closer?

What should I do?

Should I scream for help?

But what if it’s just a false alarm? That would be so embarrassing!

But the sound is really getting scarier and stranger!

Obviously, there was no one else in the elevator. And it hasn’t reopened since. There’s no place to hide nearby…

Could it be that my random thoughts just now were true?

Are there really ghosts?

Wait!

What is this?

Warm breath?

This must be a living person!

So, who is this person? Where were they hiding? Why are they so close to me all of a sudden?

Robbery? Murder?

Crap!

This is classic “messing with the wrong person”!

Summoning an unexpected courage and strength, Lin Mengting elbowed backward hard, bent forward slightly, quickly stepped aside, and swung her bag at the “thief.”

While hitting, she shouted, “I’ll beat you, thief! You have hands and feet, you’re old enough, why don’t you get a real job…”

“Tingting, it’s me!”

With Sun Weiqi’s skills, he could have easily dodged Lin Mengting’s “weak” attack.

However, his eyesight was so good that he clearly saw Lin Mengting’s red-rimmed eyes and the tear at the corner of her eye through the light coming from a nearby door.

Had he really scared Lin Mengting?

With this thought, Sun Weiqi felt a bit regretful.

It seemed that the “romantic surprise” idea from that playboy friend was indeed flawed!

He must teach that guy a lesson later, make sure he’s unrecognizable!

From now on, every time they meet, he’ll get a beating!

…

While these thoughts ran through his mind, Sun Weiqi didn’t avoid Lin Mengting’s “attacks” and even subtly moved his exposed skin under her fists.

Not only did it let Lin Mengting vent her anger, but his “battered and bruised” appearance could also earn her sympathy.

Fortunately, Sun Weiqi wasn’t a “reborn” individual. Otherwise, with Lin Mengting’s mind-reading ability, she would have beaten him even harder upon recognizing his voice, making him understand “why the flowers are so red”!

“Sun Weiqi, I told you, scaring people can be deadly! Tonight, you’re sleeping on the street!”

I won’t host you!

Even the nearby house is off-limits!

After saying this, Lin Mengting didn’t forget to kick Sun Weiqi hard. As she withdrew her foot, her sharp heel ground into his foot with all her weight.

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

Although it was a normal cry of pain, coming from Sun Weiqi, it suddenly sounded ambiguous, even suggestive.

This instantly made Lin Mengting’s cheeks flush, unsure whether to increase the pressure or let go, or just abandon Sun Weiqi…

Normally rational and composed, Lin Mengting was so enraged by Sun Weiqi that she was at a loss for words.

This showed that Sun Weiqi was truly her destined “nemesis”!

…

Seeing this, a gleam flashed in Sun Weiqi’s eyes. Half hugging, half holding Lin Mengting, he slipped into the house like a fish.

“SURPRISE!”

Soft, melodious music filled the room.

Flickering candlelight illuminated the dining table in the living room.

It was adorned with exquisite dishes and a beautiful cake.

Holding a bouquet of roses, Sun Weiqi knelt on one knee, took out a small box from his suit, and opened it to reveal a sparkling diamond ring.

“Tingting, marry me.”

Lin Mengting “…”

For the first time in both lives, she experienced a candlelit dinner and a heartfelt proposal.

But why was this scene so amusing?

No matter how serious Sun Weiqi looked, there was still an air of majesty and uprightness about him, making people respect and trust him.

But now, after the chase outside, Sun Weiqi looked especially disheveled and pitiful!

Yet, this comical state somehow softened his cold and aloof aura.

It was as if he had fallen from the heavens, touched by the mundane world.

Thinking this, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but laugh.

Sun Weiqi looked at her helplessly, but repeated, “Tingting, marry me.”

Lin Mengting blinked her watery eyes in confusion, as if questioning the world’s philosophy with, “Who are you? Who am I? Who is who?”

Would Sun Weiqi let her off?

Of course not!

He knee-walked to her, grabbed her hand, and before she could react, slipped the ring onto her finger.

“Tingting, I’m so lucky to have met you in this life.”

Lin Mengting’s heart trembled as she gazed at him.

Despite his emotionless expression, having spent over a year with Sun Weiqi, Lin Mengting keenly sensed his hidden unease, hope, and expectation.

“So am I.”

In her past life, surrounded and tormented by “reborn” individuals, she never gave up. Now, reborn with mind-reading abilities, she met the one person who truly moved her heart and made her yearn for a lifelong companionship.

Instead of saying it was Sun Weiqi’s luck, it was more her own combined luck from both lifetimes!

How could she squander this “luck” in this life?!
