Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 94

One day, Lin Mengting arrived at Professor Yu’s home, carrying two large bags and wearing a backpack.

One bag was filled with books, and the other had fruits she bought from the supermarket.

Ever since she became a “good student” in the professor’s eyes, Lin Mengting had revived a childhood habit of borrowing books. The books from the professor often had their notes, which helped her see the differences between herself and the experts, gradually broadening her perspective.

As Lin Mengting was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened from the inside.

A tall, burly man with heavy camouflage paint on his face walked out. When he saw Lin Mengting, a flash of confusion crossed his eyes so quickly that she didn’t notice it.

In the past six months, he had “accidentally” run into Lin Mengting more than once.

Could this be fate? How else could he always run into her whenever he came to S City?

As he thought about this, he stepped forward, trying not to scare the girl in front of him, even softening his voice a bit. “Who are you looking for?”

Despite his efforts to appear gentle, the man had just finished a mission and carried a strong scent of blood and danger. As he approached Lin Mengting, she felt as if she had been transported to a terrifying battlefield filled with dead bodies, leaving her feeling panicked and uneasy.

Lin Mengting frowned and quickly stepped back, escaping the frightening feeling. She looked at the man with a mix of displeasure and anger.

Did this person not know that scaring people could actually be dangerous?

Luckily, having lived through two lifetimes, Lin Mengting was much stronger than most girls her age. Otherwise, she might have embarrassed herself today.

The man narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

As expected, this girl was very sharp!

Lin Mengting blinked, hiding her thoughts, and smiled politely despite the pressure from his height. “Is Professor Yu here?”

“Professor Yu?” The man nodded knowingly. “So, you’re the smart and diligent student he often talks about.”

Was that a compliment?

Why did it feel a bit off?

Lin Mengting’s lips twitched. She didn’t want to deal with this strange man, but she sensed a connection between him and Professor Yu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act so familiarly.

Trying not to make enemies, Lin Mengting shook the bags in her hands, signaling that she couldn’t chat any longer. “Professor Yu praises me too much…”

“Xiao Qi, who are you talking to?” a familiar voice called from behind the man, whose name was Sun Weiqi. A woman in her forties appeared.

Her hair was tied in a bun, and she wore a white blouse with floral embroidery and light green wide-legged pants. She exuded an air of elegance that made one appreciate inner beauty over outward appearance.

This was Mrs. Yu, once a professor in the Chinese department at B University.

“Grandma Guo!” Lin Mengting greeted happily, quickly moving past Sun Weiqi to stand before Mrs. Yu with an excited look, like a fan meeting their idol.

Lin Mengting had always admired women like Mrs. Yu, who were full of grace and knowledge. She had vowed to develop her own qualities and become an inspiring figure for younger girls, just like Mrs. Yu.

“Oh, Tingting, it’s you!” Mrs. Yu smiled warmly, patting Lin Mengting’s head and noticing the heavy bags in her hands. She shot a look at Sun Weiqi, who was leaning against the wall.

“Xiao Qi, are you really going to let this young girl carry such heavy bags without helping?”

Sun Weiqi walked over, took the bags from Lin Mengting without a word, and carried them inside.

As for the girl clinging to his grandmother’s arm like a cat, chatting non-stop, and the way his grandmother looked at her with pure joy, Sun Weiqi could only sigh.

He thought it would be good if his cousins, who complained about their hard lives, could see this. Then they’d understand his frustration.

Even though his family had no daughters, was it fair to dote on someone else’s granddaughter like this?

Feeling a bit jealous, he wondered why he had smelled milk on Lin Mengting as he walked by. Didn’t she have a job now? Why did she still like drinking milk?

With many thoughts running through his mind, Sun Weiqi placed the bags in the living room, nodded to Professor Yu, and quietly left.

He ignored the mixed emotions on the faces of Professor Yu and Mrs. Yu, as if he hadn’t noticed their frustration, making Lin Mengting feel a bit amused by his abrupt departure.
