Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 53

Wait…

There was a faint sense of pressure in that gaze!

And why would such a person be watching this farce?!

Lin Mengting paused mid-step, her eyes casually shifting to her right.

That person!

It was him!

The hero she had once met, who would sacrifice himself in the future!

…

Lin Mengting’s pupils slightly contracted. No wonder his gaze felt so unique.

But, should she be surprised that someone from the military would get caught? He was still calmly meeting her gaze.

Slowly, his mouth moved, pulling into a faint smile.

Unfortunately, maybe he was used to keeping a straight face. That so-called friendly smile looked like a fox greeting a chicken, completely insincere!

Without a second thought, Lin Mengting averted her eyes and inwardly groaned Why was she so unlucky? To be caught in such a disgraceful situation again!

Who knew how much he had overheard…

They say “two is enough, no need for three or four.” She hoped this annoying situation wouldn’t happen again. Otherwise, she might really believe she was jinxed with him! Why did bad things always happen when she met him?

…

As Lin Mengting’s figure slowly disappeared, she didn’t notice another man appearing beside the one called Lao Sun.

“Lao Sun, what are you looking at?”

“An interesting young lady.” Lao Sun, with his dark complexion, stood around 180cm tall with a perfectly fit body, the epitome of “all legs below the neck.”

Wearing his military uniform, he exuded an aura of authority. Even standing casually, he gave off the impression of a sturdy pine tree standing tall against the wind and snow, inspiring respect.

“My god, I can’t believe it! Hearing something from you other than military training, and it’s about a young lady!”

“Come on, when are you going to introduce us to her?” The young man who kept talking was Lao Sun’s comrade, Old Li. Similar in build and with a face as dark as coal, Old Li had a noticeable “rascal” vibe. If not for his uniform, one might mistake him for a street thug.

“You think too much.” Lao Sun said calmly, ignoring Old Li’s expression that seemed to say, “Go on, tell your tall tale. I’ll watch you make a fool of yourself.” He didn’t bother explaining further.

After all, “the wise see wisdom in everything.” The truth would come out eventually, no need to waste words.

…

“Tingting.”

The familiar voice made Lin Mengting curl her lips into a mocking smile.

She thought after today, Qin Mei and Qin Dong, those sticky siblings, would finally leave her alone. Clearly, she was wrong.

Indeed, her imagination wasn’t big enough to guess the shamelessness of these people!

“What do you want?” She no longer addressed Qin Mei as “Sister Mei.”

“Sigh…” Qin Mei sighed, her gaze briefly resting on the scattered flyers in the phone booth before closing her eyes as if she couldn’t bear to look, “Today, Qin Dong was indeed wrong. But, you know, Qin Dong is not as meticulous as us girls. He’s clumsy and sometimes messes up despite his good intentions. But his heart is in the right place. He just doesn’t know how to explain himself. As his sister, I had to call you. No one else has the same feelings for you as Qin Dong. I’m sure of that.”

Lin Mengting “…”

“Look at me!” Not hearing a response, Qin Mei’s face briefly showed anger, but her words remained gentle, “Knowing you don’t like Qin Dong, why am I saying this? Tingting, how about this…” Qin Mei pondered, exchanging a glance with Qin Dong beside the phone booth, “We can have a big meal to vent your anger. What do you think?”

Implying an apology over dinner, but Lin Mengting had no intention of accepting.

“No need.”

With that, Lin Mengting decisively hung up.

“Beep… beep…” The busy signal in the receiver made Qin Mei’s face darken as she cursed, “Damn!”

Why put on airs? If not for Qin Dong begging, did she think Qin Mei would humiliate herself repeatedly to “plead” with Lin Mengting?!

Like a cornered rabbit, Qin Mei, spoiled all her life, couldn’t help but feel frustrated and angry after repeatedly failing with Lin Mengting.

“Qin Dong, you saw it yourself. Lin Mengting doesn’t care about us! Stop groveling like a dog. You might not mind losing face, but I do!”

“Sis, I know it’s hard on you.” Qin Dong lowered his head, looking dejected but feeling nothing inside, “But I’ve made up my mind about Lin Mengting. If I can’t marry her, I’ll stay single.”

In his past life, he faced countless such criticisms.

Who made him work so hard all his life only to end up with nothing?

In this life…

Since his rebirth, everything had gone smoothly. He almost believed he was favored by fate.

But his hopes were dashed against Lin Mengting!

“You…” Qin Mei felt dizzy with rage, pointing at Qin Dong with a trembling hand, “What spell has she cast on you to make you so obsessed? She’s a seductress, only good at ensnaring people!”
