Going to Yanqing on New Year’s Eve is just a temporary idea.
It was not yet confirmed, so Wei Chuan did not tell Meng Tang, so as not to give her hope and disappoint her.
Wei Chuan continued: "I guess I won't have time to see you until the holidays. Today's training is a mess in the team. We used to work together with each other. I don't know if we can achieve the same effect this time."
In addition to training tasks, they also have to cope with all final exams.
Why didn't Meng Tang understand? He said, "Then you train well and eat well. I will send you a message. Just reply when you have time."
"You still send me messages." Wei Chuan teased her, "Every time it's good morning and good night, without saying anything else."
"I'm a little free in the morning and evening." Meng Tang coaxed him with a chuckle, "We're both busy, so don't worry about it."
"Don't worry about it." Wei Chuan followed Meng Tang's words and said "Good night."
Meng Tang stopped engraving large pieces because he had to prepare for the final assignment.
Professional coursework is carried out in the form of physical work submission and on-site defense.
There is no limit to the material, metal, clay sculpture or wood carving...
Meng Tang did not do anything innovative and still chose wood carving.
Every year, her homework was criticized for not being innovative enough, but the teaching and research office that collectively graded her work was full of praise for her work.
Following the traditional path does not mean that you cannot innovate, but Meng Tang learned pure traditional techniques and aesthetic systems.
Traditional art can also use its subject matter as a metaphor for current social topics, and it is not appropriate to cater too much.
Her woodcarving class teacher once said that Meng Tang has extraordinary persistence and deep-seated nobility in woodcarving.
Of course, this sentence is not derogatory, but a mockery of modern art’s excessive pursuit of innovation.
Every year at the Academy of Fine Arts Graduation Exhibition, laymen can’t understand it, but a bunch of knowledgeable people say “What do you know?”
Meng Tang believes that art based on the public's aesthetics is the foundation of art.
Meng Tang sneered at those works that he thought he had graduated from a top art academy and made wild and unrestrained works that separated art from life.
Art comes from life and is never an empty talk. She will always walk and practice on this path.
In addition to Meng Tang, Tan Xi also chose wood carving.
The two have different schools of thought, but they work together every day and develop a bit of affection.
After leaving the studio, Tan Xi dusted off his hair and asked Meng Tang: "When are you going back?"
"He will go back after the exam." Meng Tang turned his face, "What's the matter?"
"Don't you know that there will be a wood carving exhibition at the end of the year in Dongjuan?"
"I know, I've been doing this all these years." Meng Tang said, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"
"I want to ask you to go together." Tan Xi said, "No one is going with me. It's boring to be alone, and Yan Qing and Dong Jian are so close."
It took more than an hour to drive there.
The end of the year is a period of intensive cultural consumption and business cooperation. Places like Dongjie, where the wood carving industry is developed, have related exhibitions every year.
Meng Tang has not been there for two years. When Tan Xi said this, his heart suddenly moved.
"Are you going?" Tan Xi bumped into Meng Tang with his shoulder, "It's very close to the film and television city, maybe you can meet a star by chance."
Meng Tang: "...I don't know anyone, why would I want to meet a star by chance?"
Tan Xi was immediately laughed at: "Are you going or not?"
Mengtang: "Go ahead, I'll tell my family."
"Okay." Tan Xi finally made an appointment and happily agreed.
Meng Yuchun strongly supports Meng Tang's activities in hiding outside. There is no point in staying at home all day long.
Meng Tang and Tan Xi decided to go to Dongjiang in this way.
Half a month later, each major completed its final exams one after another, and the school was mostly empty.
Wei Chuan ran from the training hall to the women's dormitory, and Meng Tang happened to push the box out.
"Why are you bringing a suitcase?" Wei Chuan stepped forward to take it. "Is there anything you must bring back? Can you get it by yourself at the high-speed rail station?"
Mengtang: "...I can't even lift a box?"
Wei Chuan carried her suitcase to the trunk and said, "I still have to go through the security check, troublesome."
I'm not going back, I'm going east with Tan Xi. "Jiang." Meng Tang said, "Wait a moment, she hasn't come down yet." br/> Meng Tang replied to him: "There is an exhibition of wood sculptures, go and see it."
Wei Chuan laughed: "You people at the Academy of Art are really either at the exhibition, or on the way to see it."
Meng Tang chuckled: "We are still picking up garbage."
"Haha..." Wei Chuan rubbed her head, "Have you ever picked it up?"
"Of course." Meng Tang glanced at him, "Did you forget to pick up leaves before? That's still considered picking up garbage."
Tan Xi walked over pushing the box, Meng Tang's words were stuck in her throat, she pushed Wei Chuan: "Help her get the box to the trunk."
Wei Chuan nodded slightly to Tan Xi: "Give it to me."
"Thank you." Tan Xi gave the box to Wei Chuan and turned to Meng Tang, "Is he going too?" Meng Tang opened the back seat door and said, "He won't go, he will take us to the high-speed rail station."
Wei Chuan took two hours of leave.
Meng Tang had already said that he didn’t need to send her off, and he had to come.
Tan Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "It almost became a light bulb."
Meng Tang followed her into the back seat. Wei Chuan finished putting his luggage and was startled when he saw her behind him.
Meng Tang chatted with Tan Xi and didn't notice Wei Chuan's expression.
Wei Chuan got into the car and coughed dryly: "Leaving?"
Meng Tang responded "Okay" and continued chatting with Tan Xi.
Weichuan put on his seat belt and started the vehicle without saying a word.
From school to the high-speed rail station, whenever he encountered a red light, he would stare at Meng Tang in the rearview mirror.
But it didn't attract Meng Tang's attention at all.
She was chatting with Tan Xi about the wood carving exhibition, but he couldn't understand a word.
Wei Chuan was thirsty for a while and drank some water, and then coughed because his throat was itchy.
This did not turn Meng Tang's thoughts to him. With five seconds left on the red light, Wei Chuan gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
Sure enough, people always do not cherish the things they have already obtained.
My thoughts were all on him before, but now I don’t know where they are.
Wei Chuan felt very sad, but he couldn't be jealous of a girl.
"Was there a floor-to-ceiling screen last year? It was multi-layered and carved, and the light and shadow effects were so amazing that it spread on the Internet?"
Tan Xi said "hmm", took out his mobile phone to show Meng Tang his photo album, and said:
“A master-class work that improves the layering processing of traditional deep carvings. I saw it at the time and it was indeed very impressive. However, I like the boxwood carvings of Feitian in Dunhuang. The carved ribbons are so awesome. I remember that this kind of wood is easily brittle. How to deal with it?”
Meng Tang laughed: "This is a fine ingredient, sensitive to moisture content, and has strict environmental requirements for humidity and temperature..."
Weichuan could not interrupt what he heard, but the two of them suddenly mentioned the high-speed rail station.
After taking the luggage from the trunk, Wei Chuan asked Meng Tang, "What time does the bus arrive?"
Meng Tang said, "Four o'clock."
Meng Tang wanted to say no, but Tan Xi was standing aside, so he said, "Okay, we'll wait for you here."
Wei Chuan grinded his teeth and pushed the box in his hand to Tan Xi: "Please help me take a look. I'll take Meng Tang to buy something. "What do you want to eat?"
Tan Xi said: "Bring a bottle of water."
"Okay."
It seemed reasonable, Wei Chuan snorted in his heart and pulled Meng Tang away.
"Slow down." Meng Tang followed behind and couldn't keep up with him.
Wei Chuan slowed down and took her into a nearby supermarket.
"It's up to you what you want to eat." Wei Chuan said in a muffled voice and obediently took the shopping basket.
Meng Tang finally heard a trace of displeasure in his tone. He held the edge of the shopping basket and tilted his head to look at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Chuan snorted: "Why don't you take the passenger seat?"
Meng Tang was stunned and lost his temper over this?
She let go of the basket, walked to the other side, took Wei Chuan's arm, and coaxed in a low voice: "Then I can't let Tan Xi sit alone in the back, how embarrassing." I was drinking water and coughing, trying to attract your attention like a clown. You were good, chatting with people all the way. I said I would buy you food, but you still want me to come here alone. Do you have any conscience? "
Meng Tang: "...Are you angry?"
Wei Chuan laughed: "I don't dare."
"Stingy guy." Meng Tang muttered, moved his palm down and interlocked with his fingers, "Is this okay?"
Wei Chuan groaned: "Am I so easy to coax? Why don't you even kiss me?"
"There are so many people." Meng Tang's eyes widened, "You want me to kiss you here? What does it have to do with a public execution? What's the difference?"
"Find a place where no one is around later." Wei Chuan squeezed her hand, "Now go buy you something to eat."
Meng Tang pulled his hand back. : "We'll be there soon when we go to Dongjuan. Don't buy a bunch of things. It won't be easy to grab when you get off the bus."
Weichuan said, "I know, pick two of your favorite foods and two bottles of water. What do you want to drink?"
"Just mineral water."
Wei Chuan took two bottles of water, bought duck necks, potato chips, and a box of candy.
The lemon flavor that Meng Tang liked was gone, so he got the strawberry one.
After settling the bill, the two of them met with Tan Xi.
The next step was to go through the security check. Wei Chuan couldn't get in, so he had to follow him to the last step.
Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, Tan Xi said to Meng Tang, “I’ll help you put the box through the security check first, and you two can wait for another five minutes.”
There were people everywhere, so why are you so tired? Meng Tang shook his head: “ I'll go with you."
Wei Chuan grabbed her wrist and smiled at Tan Xi: "Thank you, please wait a few minutes."
"Wei Chuan, where are you taking me?" Meng Tang was pulled back by him.
There were huge columns every few meters in the corridor outside the hall. Wei Chuan pulled Meng Tang over, pressed her against the column and kissed her.
Meng Tang was shocked. There were people everywhere. Do you still want your face?
Fortunately, he just kissed me.
When he let go, Meng Tang stared at Wei Chuan without any deterrence.
He smiled and wiped the moisture from the corners of her lips: "Remember to miss me."
