Mengtang changed his clothes and told his roommates to go downstairs first.
Wei Chuan leaned against the Land Rover Defender, playing games with his head lowered. The girls passing by deliberately slowed down their steps, wondering who he was waiting for.
Meng Tang trotted over: "Wei Chuan."
Wei Chuan subconsciously raised his eyes, and his whole body suddenly paused.
Meng Tang's long hair is loose, half falling on her right shoulder and chest. She is wearing a white dress like an epiphyllum, quietly blooming with beauty, unobtrusive, but making people stop.
It was the first time Wei Chuan saw Meng Tang with her long hair flying. Because of that polite smile, her coldness was reduced by three points, and her gentleness was increased.
"Sorry." Meng Tang said as he put on a loose shirt. "Lingyin wanted to take a shower first, so she didn't come down."
Wei Chuan came back to his senses and his eyes flashed slightly: "Why are you apologizing?"
Meng Tang said: "I thought you would want to spend more time with her."
Wei Chuan opened the passenger door for her and said, "What are you thinking about? Am I someone who only cares about a moment?"
Meng Tang couldn't let someone be his driver, so he could only climb into the passenger seat.
"Be careful." Wei Chuan held her wrist, his movements were gentle, and he looked a little nervous if he looked closely.
Ever since Shi Lan told Meng Tang about the precious gold in his hands, when he looked at them again, he always felt that they were made of gold, and he had to protect them unconsciously.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Meng Tang saw a classmate passing by with deliberate eyes and reminded Wei Chuan: "Let's go quickly, there are many people watching."
这些天和魏川渐渐熟稔，孟棠在他面前的语调不似当初的拘谨。
Wei Chuan walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat and asked: "Which restaurant did you book?"
Meng Tang said the name: "I don't know much about it. I searched it online and the reviews were pretty good."
After searching online for a long time, I finally chose a local dish not far from the school, with an average price of about 500 per person.
Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "How is your roommate's family background?"
He knew that the average person in this restaurant was five to six hundred, and six people would cost two to three thousand.
Meng Tang said: "They are all good."
Wei Chuan nodded: "Okay, this is the restaurant."
After arriving at the restaurant, the two were ushered into the private room, and Meng Tang directly asked Wei Chuan to order.
Wei Chuan was not polite, and ordered two cold dishes: crystal meat and rice bowl, as well as crab meat and tofu, fried pork liver in soy sauce and pickled fresh pork.
"You do the rest."
Mengtang hesitated for a long time and asked the waiter to recommend it.
The waiter gave her three or four choices, and she asked Wei Chuan: "What do you think?"
Wei Chuan said, "Okay, Xu Heqing doesn't want to pick."
But a lot of people did come. Meng Tang later realized that he had done something wrong and hurriedly added: "I will invite you alone next time."
Shi Lan helped her this afternoon. She didn't want to leave her to face Wang Jue alone, so she asked casually.
Since he brought Shi Lan, other people in the dormitory must not forget him, but he neglected the person he really wanted to invite.
"No need." Wei Chuan said with a smile, "Am I missing your meal?"
Meng Tang smiled, and the private room fell into silence for a moment.
She took out her mobile phone and asked herself: "Let me see if they are here."
Wei Chuan said "hmm" and his eyes fell on the bright red cherry clip on her left side.
This is the only bright color on Meng Tang's body, like a red mole on her fair skin, dazzling people's eyes.
When he came back to his senses again, three minutes had passed. Wei Chuan coughed dryly and broke the silence:
“After hearing what Shi Lan said this afternoon, I was embarrassed to ask you to carve something for me. It’s overkill and wasteful.”
Meng Tang raised his eyes: "Shi Lan is too exaggerated."
"No." Wei Chuan said, "I went to the official website of your Academy of Fine Arts to look at the admissions brochure on the homepage."
He really didn't expect Meng Tang to be so powerful, beyond imagination.
Meng Tang is really not suitable for being praised. He scratched his face at a loss and said modestly: "It's just that he learned early."
"How old did you learn it?" Wei Chuan was really curious, "Is it very hard?"
"I started whittling wood when I was five years old," Meng Tang said. "I have never been to kindergarten, so it was a little difficult at first, but then I got used to it."
In fact, basic skills are the most difficult and boring.
The wooden strips should be evenly thin and thick, and the error should not exceed 0.5 mm.
The old man took one look and asked her to do it all over again. She didn’t know how many times she had to do it all over again. Her fingers were scabbed and scabbed, and they were scabbed and scabbed again... The cycle was repeated for four seasons.
Even if I later practiced lines, learned to sharpen knives, and chiseled geometric shapes, I still had to cut wood strips.
Fortunately, she has good strength and some talent, so she was allowed to have her face opened by the old man one year early, at the age of 15.
In the woodcarving industry, there has always been a saying that "it takes ten years to sharpen the knife, ten years to chisel the blank, ten years to open the face, and thirty years to dare to move a Bodhisattva's eyebrows."
So Meng Tang doesn’t feel it’s hard, he just feels it’s necessary.
She spoke lightly, but Wei Chuan listened with a heavy heart.
He has only regarded basketball as a sport since he was in elementary school.
No matter how hard or tired I am, I just need to take a nap, and my coach and family are there to coax me.
It is different from those who learn crafts like Meng Tang.
Handcraftsmen have demanding requirements. Meng Tang works with carving wood all day long, and has to endure not only mental fatigue, but also physical pain.
The perseverance of this little girl is truly admirable.
Provincial Museum...
Wei Chuan muttered in his heart that he should pay his respects when he has time.
The phone rang. When Wei Chuan saw it was Wei Mingzhu, he picked it up: "Auntie."
Wei Mingzhu said on the other end: "Don't forget to remove the stitches tomorrow."
"Huh?" Wei Chuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked at Meng Tang, "Are you talking about Meng Tang?"
"Otherwise?" Wei Mingzhu asked.
"No," Wei Chuan didn't understand, "She removed the stitches, why did you call me?"
Wei Mingzhu clicked her tongue gossiping: "Aren't you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"...Aunt, My biological aunt." Wei Chuan quickly lowered his voice, "Don't make up your mind. I have a serious classmate relationship with Miaohong."
"Classmate relationship?" Wei Mingzhu didn't believe it. "The way you shouted for help that day made me think you were the one who fainted."
“This is the first time I’ve seen so much blood, and I’m a little anxious.” Wei Chuan almost swore.
ˆ “We really didn’t talk about it?”
ˆ “No.”
Wei Chuan laughed awkwardly: "My aunt, remind you to remove the stitches tomorrow."
Mengtang heard what Wei Mingzhu meant from Wei Chuan's words, and his face turned red.
"Sorry for causing you to be misunderstood."
"It's okay." Wei Chuan was also a little uncomfortable, racking his brains to find something to say, "By the way, did Xu Heqing add you?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "No."
Wei Chuan comforted her: "It's okay, he doesn't add people easily, I'll give you a chance today."
"Forget it, forget it."
This is too blatant and no one is a fool.
Meng Tang once saw a post on the Internet from the perspective of a secret admirer, and she did not want to cause any trouble to Xu Heqing.
Wei Chuan could not understand her state of mind and asked: "Mengtang, are you really not going to confess?"
"To whom are you confessing?"
As soon as Wei Chuan finished speaking, a faint smile came from behind the screen between the compartment door and the dining table.
Meng Tang's body tensed up. Why was there no sound when Xu Heqing entered the door?
