The moment he heard the knock on the door, Meng Tang's heart skipped a beat.
Sister Fang pushed her: "Hurry up and open the door, I heard Xiao Wei calling outside."
Meng Tang ran away and greeted Wei Chuan as he said "Sister Fang, open the door".
Wei Chuan saw Meng Tang, smiled widely, and then spread his arms towards her.
Meng Tang rushed up and hugged his neck, rubbing his red eyes against the cold skin on the side of his neck.
Wei Chuan stayed still, held her head, rubbed it gently, and placed a gentle kiss on the tip of her ear: "Miss me?"
"Yes." Meng Tang was unwilling to let go of his hand.
Wei Chuan knew that Sister Fang in the courtyard did not come out to greet her. He pinched the back of Meng Tang's neck with his big palm and motioned for her to raise her head.
Before their eyes met, he had already kissed her.
The separation of less than half a year was tortured to death, love and longing were entangled, melting into the moist and warm kiss.
A child passed by and laughed, which scared Meng Tang and quickly retracted into the turtle shell.
Wei Chuan patted her comfortingly: "It's okay, the child knows nothing."
"The child knows a lot now." Meng Tang pushed him, "Go in, Sister Fang left some food for you."
It was okay not to mention it, but Wei Chuan started to get greedy as soon as he mentioned it.
The two entered the courtyard, and Wei Chuan greeted Sister Fang and the old man.
“Let’s sit down and eat.” Meng Yuchun said.
Wei Chuan rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment: "Well... I had time, but I forgot to bring the New Year's gift."
Sister Fang cheered: "It's okay, sit down and eat quickly, I haven't seen you for a while. I feel like I've lost weight."
Meng Yuchun: "Hurry up and sit down to eat, I need some New Year gifts from you."
"Okay." Wei Chuan chuckled, took the chopsticks given to him by Sister Fang, and immersed himself in the meal.
"Slow down." Meng Tang reminded.
People also saw it. The old man and Sister Fang looked at each other and left the restaurant in tacit agreement.
Wei Chuan raised his head and said to Meng Tang, "Give me a bowl of soup."
Sister Fang made old duck soup. The soup was clear but not light, nourishing but not dry. Wei Chuan couldn't forget it after eating it once.
Meng Tang filled a bowl for him and handed it over: "Sister Fang knew you liked it, so she made it specially."
"She really treats me as her own son."
Meng Tang didn't answer, just smiled, allowing him to fill his stomach quietly.
等他吃完，方姐进来收拾，顺道忙晚餐，孟棠要帮忙，被她阻止了：「你俩就这两天的时间，还不赶紧去互诉衷肠。」
孟棠赧然一笑：「您真的是……」
「方姐英名。」魏川拍了句马屁，搂着孟棠的肩膀出了餐厅。
He was about to deliver the bag to the room where he usually slept, when Meng Tang grabbed him: "Don't go, Sister Fang didn't pack it."
Wei Chuan was stunned: "Then where should I sleep?"
"...Sleep on the street." Meng Tang turned back to the room.
Wei Chuan came to his senses, took a few steps to catch up and asked, "You mean I sleep with you tonight?"
"Can you please keep your voice down?" Meng Tang turned around to cover his mouth, but Wei Chuan grabbed her wrist and asked her to hold her waist.
Meng Tang snorted and deliberately strangled him hard.
This little strength was neither painful nor itchy. Wei Chuan held the bag in one hand and hugged Meng Tang with the other, and slipped him into the bedroom.
Meng Tang patted him on the shoulder: "Hang up your bags, take out your clothes and put them in the cabinet. Don't throw them on the bed."
He took out the clothes and threw them into the cabinet. He was afraid that Meng Tang would dislike them, so he folded them again, although they were still a mess.
Wei Chuan turned around and asked for credit: "How is it?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "Young Master."
Wei Chuan laughed: "The eldest young master is the eldest young master. Anyway, I have a nanny after I get married."
Meng Tang: "..."
Wei Chuan snorted, walked up to Meng Tang, hugged her and shook her: "Did you scold me in your heart on Christmas Day?"
Meng Tang laughed: "Why am I scolding you? My uncles and aunts came that day, as did the old lady. Sister Linlin and Sister Yuanyuan also spent the night here. Although I feel a little disappointed, I can understand."
Wei Chuan put his thumb under her ear and rubbed it: "You can't be too sensible sometimes, right? I heard my mother said that you don't plan to hold a wedding banquet. What do you think?"
Meng Tang pushed him away, pulled him to sit down in the living room outside, and said, "As a rookie on the team, the games are from October to April and May next year, and then there are all kinds of training and competitions. You have two days off during the New Year. Do you have time to hold an engagement party? Do you still want me to be alone at the engagement party?"
"Okay, okay." Wei Chuan hugged her, "No, you have the final say."
It rhymed quite well, and Meng Tang snorted: "If you have time, of course I can do it."
Wei Chuan knew that she was not angry, so he took her into his arms and patted her: "Then just get married."
"Okay, wait until you are free."
"Don't think I don't know, you only took three days off during the New Year." Wei Chuan's hand touched her waist and scratched her twice deliberately.
Meng Tang held his hand down to prevent him from moving.
"I can ask for leave here. We also have other masters in our studio. Can you let someone else do it for you when you play basketball?"
"I can't tell you."
"Because it's the truth."
"I haven't seen you in half a year. I'm good at quarreling with people."
Meng Tang turned around, almost lying on his chest, and arched his eyebrows: "Only for you."
Wei Chuan lowered his head and gently nudged the tip of her nose with the tip of his nose, gentle and charming.
Meng Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, nuzzled into his neck, and enjoyed the peace of the embrace for a moment.
After a while, both of their cell phones rang.
Meng Tang raised his head from his arms: "It must be news from the group. Who do you think it will be?"
Wei Chuan said: "Probably Xu Heqing and Xie Lingyin. They did not return to China this year."< br/>
Meng Tang had an idea with him and nodded: "Take a look."
Wei Chuan unlocked his phone and guessed right. It was Xu Heqing and Xie Lingyin who had uploaded two photos of the two of them in the group.
"Lingyin looks so happy." Meng Tang laughed, "Have they changed a bit?"
Weichuan looked at it for a while and said, "There is indeed a change. Xu Heqing used to be in school. To be honest, he was a pretty cool person. This person is also strange. He can only be venomous in front of the people he likes. Now that he has gone abroad, his temperament has not diminished but increased, and I am convinced!"
Meng Tang couldn't hold back his laughter and nodded in agreement as he remembered the original incident.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Chuan grabbed her pigtails.
Meng Tang dodged his hand: "Lingyin is usually very polite, and he won't show any kindness to people he doesn't like, but his bad temper is given to Xu Heqing. I just think there is a big contrast between them."
Wei Chuan said: "They are a natural match and I don't want to explain it."
Meng Tang leaned against him: "Hurry back."
Wei Chuan was unwilling to let go of Meng Tang. He pressed her on his chest with one hand, and edited the message with the other hand: [Happy New Year, are you celebrating? ]
Xu Heqing: [I will celebrate the New Year with the local Chinese. How do you feel? 】
Wei Chuan: [I was busy, so I wasn’t even there on the day of the marriage proposal. 】
With one sentence, all the people in the group were blown away, and they lined up and said "f*ck".
Liang Heng: [Proposing marriage? Brother Chuan, you don't mean enough to say anything about such a big thing. ]
Li Zhuo: [Brother Chuan himself is not here. ]
Liang Heng: [...Isn’t Meng Tang angry? ]
Shi Lan: [Mengtang, are you two really engaged? 】
Wei Chuan: [Really, I am Meng Tang. ]
Xie Lingyin: [I really admire the speed of you two. You won’t wait for the child to come out. Liang Heng is still single, right? ]
Liang Heng: [Why are you suddenly attacking me? If your words come true, I will not let Xu Heqing go when you two return to China. 】
Yang Ke: [OMG! Why didn't you two post on Moments? ]
Li Zhuo: [Brother Chuan must be shameless. After all, he has never heard of any engagement where the groom was not present. 】
Yang Ke: [...that makes sense. ]
Meng Tang always felt weird looking at the word "groom".
Wei Chuan, on the contrary to her, laughed outright. He smacked it in his mouth several times and praised him for being beautiful.
Shi Lan: [When do you two plan to get married? Wei Chuan should be there when you get married, right? ]
Meng Tang chuckled: "This will become a meme."
Wei Chuan was speechless: "What are you asking? Who will you marry if I'm not around?"
Liang Heng: [I feel like we have to wait a little longer. Brother Chuan has just entered Huaxi and hasn't played a game yet. Am I right, Brother Chuan? Just let it go for two days during the Chinese New Year. 】
Wei Chuan sadly sent a helpless emoticon.
Xie Lingyin: [Where are the wedding candies? 】
Wei Chuan: 【You won’t be able to eat it even if I give it to you. ]
Xu Heqing: [Take advantage and give me a red envelope. 】
Wei Chuan is so good at handing out red envelopes. Still no one has sent out 199. Just to hear the sentence "Chuantang 99", he also asked them to send it by voice.
After a commotion for a while, the group became quiet.
Meng Tang patted Wei Chuan: "Let's go and hang up all the lanterns in the yard."
The Spring Festival couplets had been put up in the morning. The yard was too big, so only half of the lanterns were hung.
With Wei Chuan here, the efficiency is much higher.
"I'll hang the two big ones outside the door, and you hang the smaller ones inside." Wei Chuan scratched Meng Tang's face with the tassels of the small lantern, "I'll come find you after hanging the big ones."
"Okay, you go."
Last year's lantern was hung up by Meng Tang on the bench. Meng Yuchun was an old man, but Meng Tang wouldn't let him go up.
After an hour of busy work, the entire house was wrapped in warm happiness from front to back.
Wei Chuan said: "There should be people selling fireworks on the street now. I'll buy some. If we buy less powerful ones, we can set them off in the yard."
"Okay." Meng Tang said, "I'll go with you."
/>
Sister Fang cheerfully said: "Buy something more beautiful."
"I know."
There are many fireworks stalls, and Wei Chuan will try each one before buying one, and after confirming it, he will pay the price together.
Two big bags are so full that I can’t put them all in, but I can put them in on the first, fifth day of the lunar month and the Lantern Festival.
Back in the courtyard, it was getting dark. Meng Tang and Wei Chuan got up and went to the kitchen to help Sister Fang with their work.
Although they don't know anything, it's better to make some noise than to let Sister Fang work alone.
Wei Chuan set the bowls and chopsticks, and Meng Tang went to serve the dishes. He quickly stopped him: "You sit down, this is too hot, I'll serve it."
Meng Tang called the old man to have New Year's Eve dinner, and his tone was a little anxious.
Meng Yuchun snorted arrogantly: "I won't delay you two from setting off the fireworks."
"What do you mean we two?" Wei Chuan retorted, "After dinner, while we are setting off, you and Sister Fang will sit and watch."
"Okay, let's watch together." Sister Fang laughed.
The deserted house in the past became lively and practical because of the addition of one person.
