The lobby on the first floor of Hexi Courtyard is elegant and fresh. Meng Tang and Li Hanjin are half hidden and half visible behind the partition.
Li Hanjin served Meng Tang a small bowl of soup and pushed it over: "These are all your favorite dishes, try them?"
Meng Tang lowered his eyes, the table was indeed full of dishes she liked, but she had already eaten them once.
Thinking of this, Meng Tang's thoughts wandered away——
When Wei Chuan asked the waiter to serve the food, he asked if there was any meat marinated with kiwi fruit.
The waiter said that one dish had marinated beef tenderloin. Wei Chuan glanced at her and withdrew the dish.
Li Hanjin knew that she was allergic to kiwi fruit, but did not know that the beef had been marinated in kiwi fruit. Seeing that she did not move, he asked her why she did not eat it.
Since he is here, Meng Tang won’t show off to him, so he raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of spareribs, and put it into the bowl.
Li Hanjin also moved his chopsticks, but he didn't take two bites, and asked again:
"What's your relationship with that boy named Wei Chuan?"
He was wearing a peaked cap, and he didn't take it off when eating. When he spoke, the corner of his lip touched the wound, which hurt a little, but it didn't stop him from falling in love with Meng Tang.
“Friend.” Meng Tang didn’t even raise his head.
Classmates and friends are not the same. Li Hanjin was silent for a moment, pretending to be a joke: "You didn't even have a few female friends before, but it's really different after you entered college."
"What does this have to do with me going to college?" Meng Tang didn't quite understand, "Are friends still divided into men and women? If we get along with each other, we can all be considered friends. "
Li Hanjin chuckled: "I heard a saying that there is no pure friendship between men and women."
Meng Tang put down his chopsticks: "Do you think Wei Chuan and I have anything to do with each other?"
"Don't blame me for thinking too much." Li Hanjin said, "You protected him."
Meng Tang asked, "Shouldn't I protect you? He hit you because of me. If it were anyone else, I would have done it." I beg you not to pursue it."
Li Hanjin: "I asked the leader of your school last night. He is an athletic student and plays basketball."
Meng Tang took a breath: " What else did you say? "
Li Hanjin shrugged: "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about him beating me."
Meng Tang moved his lips, lowered his eyes and continued to eat.
Li Hanjin asked again: "How did you meet him?"
"..."
Meng Tang said concisely and to the point: "I met him when he was a model."
Li Hanjin said "Oh" and looked at Meng Tang calmly, with restrained tenderness in the depths of his pupils.
After that, he asked no more questions and promised Meng Tang not to embarrass Wei Chuan again.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Hanjin offered to take her back to school.
"If you send me back and be seen by others, I will become the focus of discussion." Meng Tang refused.
"Okay." Li Hanjin smiled, "Then you go back and pay attention to safety."
Meng Tang raised his hand and waved slightly.
Li Hanjin then turned and left Hexiyuan.
Standing there for a long time, Meng Tang pursed his lips and let out a breath, which was considered a solution.
If Li Hanjin insists on pursuing the case, Wei Chuan will never get any benefit.
Whether it is right or wrong, it is a fact that he hit people.
Meng Tang walked down the steps, her steps suddenly stopped, and she caught sight of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye, and she turned around sharply.
Under the wall on the right side of the gate of Hexiyuan, Wei Chuan stood there with an expressionless face, like a human being standing on a sign.
Meng Tang was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wei Chuan went down the steps: "I asked the leader of the hospital to get Li Hanjin's hotel address, and planned to come over to apologize."
Meng Tang said, "There's no need to go, he has promised not to pursue the case."
Wei Chuan frowned: "Didn't I say, I will handle this matter myself."
Meng Tang noticed the tension and displeasure in his tone and didn't understand what he was blaming.
But she was not good at arguing with people, so she said matter-of-factly: "You don't know him, he is this person..."
"Yes, I don't know him, he is your senior brother." A fire lingered in Wei Chuan's chest.
Meng Tang: "..."
Wei Chuan took out his cell phone and showed it to Meng Tang: "You lied to me, do you think I was impulsive and knew you were not happy to solve the problem for me, so you went to beat him up?"
"I didn't think so." Meng Tang also frowned, "The matter has been resolved, why are you holding on to something inexplicable?"
"If you really want to apologize, go to the hotel where Li Hanjin is staying now and see if he will see you."
h You weren't following me? You saw me when you sent me the message, right? "
"I saw you, but I didn't follow you."
He just entered the restaurant and then stepped back. It's not appropriate to eavesdrop on others.
He has been waiting by the outer wall of the restaurant for an hour.
"Then why are you here? You look like you've caught me lying and want to question me?"
"I didn't question you, I just felt that I should bear the responsibility for whatever I did wrong."
Meng Tang sighed: "I'm serious, if you go, he won't see you."
"So he did it on purpose, didn't he just want you to go there?" Wei Chuan raised his voice, "What did you talk about in there? Reminiscing about childhood memories?"
Meng Tang was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
She has been questioned enough tonight.
Wei Chuan followed him subconsciously, and Meng Tang suddenly turned around.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the two of them bumped into each other.
Wei Chuan is big. If he were a tree, Meng Tang would be a leaf. Wei Chuan was as motionless as a mountain, and she leaned back.
"Hey!" Wei Chuan hugged the person back, "Are you okay?"
The waist under his palm was a little bigger, and Wei Chuan was stunned.
Meng Tang pushed him away and looked up at him with difficulty: "I'm not looking for Li Hanjin because of you, but because your beating him has something to do with me. I don't want you to be penalized by the school, and I don't want you to be suspended from training or suspended. It's that simple."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Wei Chuan followed her, keeping a close distance behind her.
Did they quarrel? Wei Chuan frowned and asked himself.
A quarrel doesn’t count, does it?
He glanced at Meng Tang in front of him, took long strides, and tentatively called out, "Meng Tang?"
Meng Tang ignored him.
Okay, we had a quarrel.
It turns out that she can get angry too. He thought her temper was like soft dough.
Where is the Meng Tang who was so cowardly at the beginning that he didn’t even dare to speak loudly?
But this also proves from the side that they are indeed friends.
He had long discovered that Meng Tang was more lively in the presence of acquaintances.
As soon as he saw the person entering the gate, Wei Chuan hurriedly caught up with him.
He rolled his eyes and said, "The two pots of succulents raised by Xu Heqing are dead. Didn't you say that I would go with you to buy them based on his preferences?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "No."
"Xu Heqing, you don't want it either?" Wei Chuan almost doubted his ears.
Mengtang ignored him, but Wei Chuan took the trouble to whisper in her ear.
Meng Tang stopped, turned around and said, "I retreated."
Wei Chuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What happened that day when Lingyin got drunk left a small piece of it in my heart. Shadow."
"I don't blame him, it's true, it's just that this matter has an impact on me."
After a moment of confusion, Wei Chuan changed his question: "You mean... you're not going to confess?"
