Meng Tang walked forward and finally stopped at a stall selling fried thumbs.
"Are you eating?"
She asked again but no one responded. When she looked back, Wei Chuan was still a few steps away.
"What are you doing?" Meng Tang called him, "I'm asking you if you want to eat."
Weichuan came to his senses and said, "I don't want to eat."
Meng Tang bought a portion.
Seeing that she was about to arrive at the school gate, she asked Wei Chuan: "Are you going back to school?"
Wei Chuan looked at the time: "Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
He called Xu Heqing and hung up without saying a few words.
The phone vibrated. Meng Tang took it out of his bag and saw that it was Xu Heqing who had joined a group.
After a while, Wei Chuan pulled her in, and Xie Lingyin also pulled Shi Lan and Yang Ke in.
Meng Tang looked at the group members and saw that there were quite a few people in the two dormitories.
Wei Chuan took the lead in saying hello to the group and asked Xie Lingyin what time they could come over.
In the group, Shi Lan, Aite Mengtang, asked her if she had finished her work.
Hence Meng Tang was holding a fried thumb in his hand and typing slowly with one hand, Wei Chuan had already answered for her:
【She is with me. I passed by the museum today when I returned to school and took a stroll and met her. 】
…
Meng Tang deleted the reply.
Xie Lingyin replied in the group: [We are almost ready, let’s gather at six o’clock. 】
Xu Heqing took the lead in replying "Okay".
Meng Tang and Wei Chuan turned to Hexi Courtyard.
Wei Chuan had a reservation, and the two of them were ushered into the box. Meng Tang silently finished a box of fried thumbs.
She drank half a glass of warm water, and when she raised her head, Wei Chuan stared at her blankly.
Meng Tang lowered her head and looked at herself. Her clothes were neat and tidy. She took a picture of her face with her mobile phone camera again. She found it was smooth and fair.
Then what is he looking at?
Wei Chuan asked her: "Is the keychain of Little Prince Rose really yours?"
Why do you still remember this? Meng Tang nodded: "Yes."
"So it's you who likes it?" Wei Chuan's eyes slowed, "Isn't it Xie Lingyin who likes it?"
Meng Tang said: "She should also like it. She keeps hanging it on her backpack and never takes it off, and the usage rate is quite high."
Wei Chuan was in a trance for a while.
"Why are you asking this? This is all——" Meng Tang paused mid-sentence.
She thought of the wooden sculpture in her hand that still lacked a base.
After being stunned for a long time, Meng Tang licked his lower lip and confirmed with Wei Chuan: "You asked me to carve a rose and a little prince for you in the first place because of the keychain on Lingyin's backpack?"
Wei Chuan nodded stiffly: "I thought she liked it."
Meng Tang felt guilty inexplicably and the person he liked was her.
She saw that Wei Chuan's expression was a little strange, and she laughed and said, "How about I design another one for you?"
"No need." Wei Chuan glanced at her hands and said in a low tone, "She should like your craftsmanship and carvings."
As for whether Xie Lingyin likes it or not, he will ask her for confirmation tonight.
Wei Chuan checked it online and found that it was an affordable luxury co-branded model, priced at 1,499 at the time.
It was the end of the first semester of his freshman year when he saw him. He felt that no matter how good the relationship between the people in the dormitory was, they would not give and receive things like this.
Wei Chuan took a tactical sip of water and continued to ask: "The small accessories were sold for 1,500 at that time. Many college students only have this much living expenses for a month. How could you be willing to give them away?"
Meng Tang had no expression of reluctance on his face and said, "Lingyin didn't look too happy at the time."
She clearly felt that Xie Lingyin was forcing a smile, so she asked. Xie Lingyin didn't want to say anything, so he praised her keychain to change the subject.
With no way to comfort her, Meng Tang could only give her the keychain.
Wei Chuan feels that her explanation is unconvincing. You can't just give away your things when someone is unhappy, right?
But he was afraid of annoying people by saying too much.
Liang Heng sent a picture in the group, saying that they went downstairs.
Wei Chuan asked the waiter to start serving the dishes, but he didn't order. When he made the reservation, he asked the restaurant to take care of the number of people.
The restaurant is right opposite the school. Just after six o'clock, a group of people pushed the door open and came in.
Li Zhuo noticed the doll on the side table and pointed at it: "What do you mean? It was given to us?"
"That's Meng Tang's." Wei Chuan said, "How dare you snatch something from a girl."
Wei Chuan exchanged it for six small ones." Wei Chuan subconsciously said "Hey", and Xie Lingyin smiled and said: "You better take it, I can't put it on my bed. And if you give it to me, you won't be afraid of Shi Lan. Jealous with Yang Ke."
Meng Tang realized that she had overlooked this. She looked up, and Shi Lan and Yang Ke pinched their waists in a serious manner, with expressions of "I'm going to be jealous, come and comfort me."
Mengtang couldn’t bring himself to give the doll to Xie Lingyin again.
The cough just now was so obvious that Wei Chuan subconsciously made up for it: "The money paid by Meng Tang."
The implication should be hers.
Xie Lingyin and Xu Heqing looked at each other, thinking that she had no intention of asking for it, so how could she make it difficult for Wei Chuan to look so guilty.
Fortunately, the waiter was considerate and knocked on the door to serve the last two dishes.
Several people chatted while eating, and the most talked about was the grassroots competition.
Li Zhuo said: "Brother Chuan, have you read the comments on the Internet? Polytechnic University has been scolded badly."
Wei Chuan said: "The players are lost and there are not enough successors, but we cannot forget the glory of the past."
Even he, who won the fight, was scolded. It was normal for the Polytechnic University to be scolded.
However, bad comments are not worth mentioning, and the coach does not allow them to post them online.
After winning the competition, apart from the official team, Z was as low-key as if it had never participated.
Regardless of whether they were friendly or not, they were all begging you to take photos. There were a group of big yellow girls in the comment area. The one I remember most clearly was Aite who suggested taking off his clothes and playing ball, just like diving. "
Wei Chuan choked on the chili pepper and drank a glass of warm water.
He looked at Liang Heng speechlessly: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Liang Heng smiled and felt aggrieved: "That's not what I said."
Xu Heqing coughed dryly and motioned for Liang Heng to look at the other side.
Liang Heng looked up and saw the four girls opposite him as if they had applied red rouge.
"Sorry, sorry." He slapped his mouth, "I didn't hold the door."
Meng Tang thought about the people playing in swimming trunks on the basketball court, and his head hung lower.
It’s a shame these netizens can think of it.
She remembered the comment about gray sweatpants again.
Liang Heng, who was glared at, finished his meal honestly. When Wei Chuan came back after paying the bill, he saw Liang Heng grabbing his bag and quickly stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
Liang Heng said flatteringly. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Chuan, for the treat. I'll carry it for you."
"I don't want you to carry it."
Liang Heng didn't give it to him, he held it to his chest and rubbed it.
"Holy shit, don't rub it." Wei Chuan slapped his hand away, "There's something very fragile inside me."
Liang Heng was stunned for a moment, feeling a faint feeling of breaking under his palm.
Wei Chuan frowned, his intuition was not good.
Liang Heng swallowed and turned to Xu Heqing for help: "Let him keep my whole body."
Wei Chuan's face suddenly changed, like dark clouds that suddenly gathered and became dark and heavy.
He suddenly took back his bag, opened the zipper, and took out the koi bookmark that Meng Tang gave him.
This sight made Wei Chuan's eyes wide open.
The bookmark cracked along the lines of the fish tail.
