Mei Bing looked up and said, "The sun is still up, and you're already dreaming."
Tengteng smiled. "Do you know why your sister-in-law framed you?"
Mei Bing froze for a moment.
Tengteng felt a pang of sympathy for Mei Bing when he saw her mood suddenly sour. "Because you're too outstanding."
Mei Bing couldn't understand. "Is being excellent a mistake?"
“Of course you’re excellent. But you’ve overshadowed your brother. When people talk about your family, you’re the first person they mention. Your father is also very proud of you. Compared to you, your brother seems quite ordinary. Of course, I’m not saying your brother isn’t capable, but compared to you, he seems a bit ordinary. Besides, you’re a girl, which makes your brother seem even less capable.”
Mei Bing closed her eyes briefly. "Is it really because of this?"
“Hmm. I’ve never met you before, but I’ve heard a lot about you. And your brother…” Tengteng paused. “If it weren’t for the fact that my mission this time is somewhat related to your family, I wouldn’t have known that your brother was also in the army. Actually, your brother is quite promising at a young age. But compared to you, his achievements are… negligible.”
Mei Bing refused to believe it. "Just because of this? My sister-in-law... she deliberately slandered me?"
Tengteng nodded. "Didn't I just say that my mission this time is somewhat related to your family? Because of that, I investigated your family members. Although your sister-in-law seems very kind, she is actually very petty. Does your father often compare you and your brother when he is at home?"
Mei Bing nodded. "My father often used me to urge my brother on."
"You and your brother are siblings. So, your brother probably doesn't take what your dad said to heart. But it's different for your sister-in-law. Also, has your mother been busy arranging dates for you these past few days?"
"Um."
"You're already so outstanding. If you find a good partner, then..."
Mei Bing was heartbroken. "Just because I overshadowed my brother, she doesn't want me to have a good life. I've always been so good to her."
Tengteng knew Mei Bing didn't want to believe it. "Besides this, I can't think of any other reason she could have to frame you."
Mei Bing lowered her head. "That's true. In her heart, my brother is her everything, her entire world. Before, I thought it was nice to have someone love my brother like that. Now..."
Tengteng pressed his face against Meibing's. "Don't be sad. I'll protect you from now on."
Mei Bing has always been very strong. "I don't need your protection."
Tengteng smiled. "Then let's fight side by side from now on, okay?"
Mei Bing didn't say anything.
Tengteng turned Mei Bin around and looked him in the eyes, saying, "You're not young anymore. Because you're even more capable than most male soldiers, most people wouldn't dare to pursue you. The older you get, the more worried your mother becomes. Before, only your mother worried about you not being able to get married, but now, even your father is starting to worry, right?"
Mei Bing glared at Tengteng. "How do you know everything? Did you search every nook and cranny of my house?"
Tengteng touched his nose. "It's not something I wanted to investigate. It's...it's for work."
Mei Bing snorted: "So what did you find out?"
"The investigation revealed that your father had nothing to do with this matter."
"snort!"
Tengteng smiled. "Although your sister-in-law is petty, she gave birth to two children for your brother and is completely obedient to him. Your brother is quite satisfied with her. Besides, only the two of you were there when your sister-in-law fell down the stairs. So, it's unlikely that your brother would divorce your sister-in-law over this unclear matter."
Tengteng stopped and looked at Mei Bing. "If I'm not mistaken, your sister-in-law will apologize to you as soon as you get back."
"Apologize?"
"Yes. She'll say she was scared at the time, which is why she said you pushed her down."
Mei Bing was taken aback. "She'll admit she lied?"
"She's not admitting she lied by saying that. She's trying to make people think she's covering for you. If she had said it right after the fall, people would have believed her. But now that so much time has passed, people might start to overthink it."
"Overthinking?"
"Um."
Mei Bing angrily splashed water. "She's trying to make everyone think she's compromising for my reputation."
Tengteng nodded. "Then she can tell your brother that she doesn't know whether she fell down on her own or you pushed her. That way, your brother might feel even more sorry for her."
Mei Bing was both shocked and saddened after being wrongly accused by her sister-in-law, so she didn't think about it carefully. After Tengteng finished speaking, Mei Bing went through everything. After she finished, Mei Bing looked at Tengteng. "How do you know so much about my sister-in-law... her thoughts?"
Tengteng touched his nose. "Didn't I say I made a mistake a few days ago?"
Mei Bing thought for a moment: "Is the mistake you made related to a woman?"
Tengteng nodded. "Before, I focused all my energy on work. After making a mistake, I studied women's minds. I discovered that women's minds are sometimes very simple, so simple you wouldn't believe it. And sometimes they are very complex, so complex you might never understand them in your entire life."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"Of course I know." Tengteng kissed Meibing on the lips with lightning speed. "You think this man is so handsome, I want to marry him right now."
Snap!
Mei Bing slapped Tengteng across the face.
Tengteng wasn't angry at all. Not only had he seen Meibing completely naked today, but he'd also hugged and kissed her. Although it wasn't intentional, he had definitely taken advantage of her. Plus, Tengteng had fallen for Meibing at first sight. So, even if Meibing slapped Tengteng again, he wouldn't be angry.
Mei Bing was stunned for a moment. Mei Bing felt that with Tengteng's skills, even if she slapped him faster, Tengteng could still dodge it.
While Mei Bing was distracted, Tengteng kissed her on the lips again.
Snap!
Mei Bing instinctively slapped Tengteng again. Afterward, Mei Bing came to her senses: "Did you do that on purpose?" Both slaps Mei Bing delivered were with her right hand. Logically, they should have landed on Tengteng's left cheek. However, when Mei Bing delivered the second slap, Tengteng somehow moved, and Mei Bing's slap landed on his right cheek. Now, Tengteng has a handprint on both his left and right cheeks.
Tengteng nodded with a smile. "That's right. Didn't I just say? I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of being hit. Honey, do you still want to hit me? If you hit me once, I can kiss you openly."
“You…” Mei Bing looked at the slap mark on Tengteng’s face. “Aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you?”
"If anyone dares to laugh at me, I'll slap them twice on the face. Hehe... Honey, are you going to hit me again? If you don't, I won't be able to take advantage of you."
Mei Bing kicked Teng Teng in anger: "You scoundrel!"
"Hehe... Honey, weren't you going to get dressed? I'll turn around, you can go upstairs and put your clothes on." Tengteng winked at Mei Bing as he turned around. "Honey, I welcome your sneak attacks."
Mei Bing felt a pang of pain in her eyes when she saw the two slap marks on Tengteng's face. Later, Mei Bing learned that Tengteng hadn't just been slapped to make her happy.
