Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 52

“Tingting!” Qin Dong looked at Lin Mengting with a face full of pain, pleading, “I beg you, let this matter go, okay?!”

“Just for my sister’s sake, who fell and temporarily lost her memory, okay?”

Seeing Lin Mengting still indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger on the street, Qin Dong’s heart tightened. He lowered his gaze, not daring to meet her clear eyes, and added in a low voice, “You also studied medicine, so you should understand that my sister absolutely cannot handle a second shock. Even if you are really angry, take it out on me! I’ll let you do whatever you want, no complaints!”

[Lin Mengting, I’ve humbled myself this much. If you still don’t get it, don’t blame me!]

Lin Mengting “…” I’ve seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless!

The people around, always sympathetic to the weak, saw Qin Dong’s willingness to take the blame for Qin Mei, thinking he only wanted to appease Lin Mengting’s anger. His fat body and fierce face didn’t seem so scary anymore.

So, everyone started persuading Lin Mengting.

“Yeah, young lady, even if you have disagreements, why not take a step back and make peace?”

“Young people often quarrel, there’s no need to make it a big deal.”

“If we really investigate, young lady, you’d also bear half the responsibility.”

“Right, that older girl fainted because of the younger one!”

…

During this time, Qin Mei occasionally sipped glucose water from Qin Dong’s hand, her disheveled hair making her small face look even more pitiful.

Qin Dong stopped speaking, holding Qin Mei’s shoulder, feeding her water, occasionally glancing at the crowd surrounding Lin Mengting. His face was full of helplessness and worry, and deep affection that couldn’t be ignored.

[Lin Mengting, today, I’ll teach you a lesson on how terrifying public opinion can be!]

“Got it,” Lin Mengting said seriously. “I hope everyone can be as ‘generous’ when they encounter a situation like mine.”

Immediately, someone was unhappy “Hey! Young lady, what do you mean by that?!”

“Right, we’re being kind, why twist our words?”

“No wonder they say ‘no good deed goes unpunished.'”

“Young people today, really not as good as the older generation!”

…

This time, Lin Mengting didn’t bother responding. She grabbed her bag and walked away.

After all, what was the point of talking to these brainless fools who only parroted what others said? It was a waste of time and energy!

Huh?

Really?

Even Qin Mei, who was planning to make Lin Mengting buy a thousand-yuan outfit as an apology, and Qin Dong, who thought Lin Mengting would be forever tied to him, were stunned!

How could she just walk away?

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go!

“Tingting, wait!” Qin Dong instinctively got up and chased after her.

“Bang!”

“Ah!” Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Qin Mei’s sharp, painful scream echoed.

“Sis!” Qin Dong froze, turning to see Qin Mei trying to get up like a flipped turtle. Her tearful, distorted face looked scary with her messy hair spread out on the floor.

“What are you doing, Qin Dong?!” Qin Mei quickly checked herself for injuries. Finding only a bump on the back of her head, she sighed in relief, then glared at Qin Dong with intense dissatisfaction.

“I’ve told you so many times…”

With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Qin Dong, Qin Mei, with her disheveled hair, looked like a complete mess, making the onlookers even more interested.

“Didn’t they say the older girl fainted from anger and lost her memory? Doesn’t seem like it!”

“She’s so energetic and clear-minded. If she really lost her memory, what about all those TV shows?!”

“I told you they were lying! You just wouldn’t believe it, getting led by the nose by these two, tsk tsk!”

“I remember the young lady mentioned something about ‘video’?”

…

Qin Mei, like a duck being choked, instantly shut her mouth, slowly turning her head to silently observe the audience excitedly discussing and reenacting the scene.

If looks could kill, these people would have died a thousand times over.

Qin Dong hadn’t expected such a small oversight to cause such a big problem!

Forget about scheming against Lin Mengting, now it seemed impossible for the siblings to leave without damaging their reputation!

In a flash, Qin Dong hugged Qin Mei excitedly, shouting, “Sis, you’re better? You remember everything?!”

“Turns out the theory that memory loss from a fall can be restored by another fall is true! No wonder the brain is so mysterious, even with generations of research, we can’t fully understand it!”

“Amazing brain, amazing life!”

“Thank heavens, as long as you’re okay, nothing else matters.”

Being siblings by blood, Qin Mei quickly understood Qin Dong’s intention, gently patting his hand, and said emotionally, “Qin Dong, thank you.”

“If it weren’t for you today, I can’t imagine what I’d become!”

…

How many people were moved by this heartfelt act was hard to say.

After all, the world is never short of “smart people”!
