The New Year's Eve dinner is suitable for eating slowly. By the end of the meal, Meng Tang was sweating all over.
She glanced at Wei Chuan and said, "Open the south window a little and get some air."
Wei Chuan looked at Sister Fang and asked, "Will there be a cool breeze blowing in?"
Sister Fang: "It's okay, go ahead, it's really a bit hot."
Wei Chuan stood up and lifted the window halfway, half-covering it, with colorful lights hanging in his eyes.
The sky is full of fireworks outside the house, but due to the obstruction in sight, I can only hear a sound.
"Someone has already set off fireworks." Meng Tang said.
Meng Yuchun said: "Children, you can't sit still."
"I'll also go under the window and light two to commemorate the occasion." Wei Chuan stood up and took three golden trees from the cabinet.
Meng Tang shouted: "Be careful."
"Don't worry, it's not very powerful." Wei Chuan went to the kitchen to get a lighter, arranged the fireworks, and lit them one by one in order.
With a "Zila" sound, a dazzling silver flower broke through the mouth of the tube and illuminated Wei Chuan's entire body.
He poked his head in from the window: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Meng Tang nodded: "It looks good."
"Eat." Wei Chuan said, "Let's set it off after eating."
The fireworks disappeared in an instant, and not long after Wei Chuan sat down, the splendor faded into darkness.
About half an hour later, Meng Yuchun put down his chopsticks, followed immediately by Sister Fang and Meng Tang.
Wei Chuan has a big appetite, and Sister Fang's cooking suits his appetite, so he unexpectedly spends twenty minutes longer eating than others.
After dinner, he carried the fireworks to the open area in the courtyard.
"What to put?" Wei Chuan turned around and smiled at Meng Tang.
Meng Tang casually gave him two, called shining beauties. Wei Chuan asked Sister Fang and the old man to stand far away while he set up the fireworks and lit them.
Two beams of light shot straight into the sky one after the other. Colorful flowers and silver light intertwined and danced, illuminating the four people watching the fireworks.
Wei Chuan laughed, ran over and put his phone into selfie mode, raised his hand and greeted the three people behind him: "Look at my camera."
Sister Fang was still smiling, while Meng Yuchun looked serious.
For taking pictures, any expression will do. Wei Chuan did not force the old man to smile and pressed the shutter button.
He took six photos in a row and posted them all on Moments.
Qin Yuan commented below: [Do you know how long it has been since I saw you? As a result, you went to your wife's house during the Chinese New Year. 】
Wei Chuan: [It will take two days in total. I will train in the morning the day after tomorrow. I have to rush back to City Z tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Do you think I can give you this little time? 】
Qin Yuan: [...No need, I don’t deserve it! ]
Wei Chuan: [It’s good to know. Happy New Year. 】
Qin Yuan: […]
In the past, at least you could send a red envelope, but now there are only four vague words.
There are many more comments, but Wei Chuan doesn’t have time to read them.
He took Meng Tang to the entrance of the courtyard and lined up in a row.
There were children playing in front of the courtyard. Wei Chuan gave a red envelope and asked a few older children to light fireworks for him. He pulled Meng Tang and sat on the steps in front of the door.
There is strength in numbers, and the few guys move quickly. They are obviously experts at setting off fireworks.
Wei Chuan quickly greeted: "Stay away quickly."
A group of children swarmed to the steps, chattering and looking up at the fireworks.
Wei Chuan leaned towards Meng Tang and whispered: "I have never seen so many children in my life."
Meng Tang: "...Who said you haven't seen them?"
Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"The museum in City Z took away my bookmark. There were 22 children at that time."
Weichuan laughed: "I almost forgot."
The fireworks disappeared into darkness again, and the children ran away. Meng Tang took Wei Chuan's arm and pillowed his shoulder.
Wei Chuan asked her: "Do you want to stay up tonight?"
"People don't pay attention to this anymore. They all have entertainment all night long." Meng Tang said, "What did you play when you were at home?"
“You’re really right.” Wei Chuan’s arm passed through Meng Tang’s back and hugged her shoulders, “We entertained all night long, singing, drinking, and playing cards with Qin Yuan, but very little because I’ve been playing basketball since I was very young and my schedule is relatively regular.”
Meng Tang sniffed, his nose turning red.
"Let's go." Wei Chuan helped her up, "It's too cold outside, go wash up and sleep."
Into the yard, Sister Fang and the old man were still chatting around the stove. Wei Chuan held Meng Tang's hand and warmed it by the stove.
"It's getting late and the cold is too strong. Why don't you two take a break?" Wei Chuan said to Sister Fang and Meng Yuchun.
"Let's go, go to bed." Meng Yuchun clapped his hands and dropped peanut skins on the floor.
Sister Fang said: "You two go to sleep first, I will leave in a moment."
"Okay."
Wei Chuan and Meng Tang returned to the room. After they washed up, they snuggled into the warm bed.
Mengtang's bed was fragrant and warm, and the smell was the same as hers. Wei Chuan acted like a pervert, sniffed her pillow, and then hugged Meng Tang full of arms: "This feels so good."
Meng Tang leaned into his arms: "Don't move around, my pillow is uncomfortable."
Wei Chuan immediately did not dare to move, turned his body slightly, and lowered his shoulders for her to lean on.
After the bed curtain was lowered, the space inside the bed fell into darkness, and the only things that could be perceived were two warm bodies and the close breath.
Weichuan's Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and his arms around Meng Tang tightened tighter and tighter.
Meng Tang pursed his lower lip and lay on top of him, motionless.
Wei Chuan kissed Meng Tang’s hair and whispered, “Go to sleep.”
Meng Tang was stunned: "You... don't want it?"
"No." Wei Chuan held her back, "There is no condom, and it's not suitable tonight."
Meng Tang was silent for a moment and closed his eyes.
Wei Chuan patted her back again and again, not lulling Meng Tang to sleep, but fell asleep himself first.
Meng Tang chuckled lightly, got up from his arms in the dark, and covered him with a quilt.
It was actually not comfortable to sleep together. She lay down next to Wei Chuan and fell asleep while touching his arm.
The two of them were woken up in the morning by a series of New Year greeting messages in the group.
Meng Tang opened his phone and replied one by one.
Wei Chuan opened his eyes drowsily, turned around, and wrapped his arms and legs around Meng Tang.
"Are you awake?" Meng Tang tilted his eyes back, "Do you still want to sleep?"
"Not sleeping anymore." Wei Chuan kissed the back of Meng Tang's neck, "Good morning, New Year."
"Good morning. "After Meng Tang replied to the last message, he turned around and touched his face, "Get up, it's eight o'clock, Sister Fang's breakfast must be ready."
"Okay."
Wei Chuan lingered for a while before getting up with Meng Tang.
When they opened the door, they were both stunned. The outside was covered with a thick layer of white.
"Is it snowing?" Meng Tang said in a surprised tone.
Wei Chuan pulled her back: "Wait, I'll get you a thick coat, you can't wear this."
Meng Tang responded and stood inside the door without moving.
Sister Fang saw her and said, "You don't have enough clothes."
"Wei Chuan went to get it." Meng Tang laughed, "When did it snow?"
Sister Fang: "It started snowing in the middle of the night and it just stopped in the morning."
Wei Chuan got Meng Tang's coat and put it on her.
Hands of New Year greetings to Sister Fang, the two of them went to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash themselves.
After breakfast, Wei Chuan and Meng Tang looked at each other and piled up the snow accumulated in the courtyard.
"Have you ever built a snowman?" Meng Tang shook off the snow on his gloves, "When I was a child, my grandfather and Sister Fang would come with me."
"Of course I have." Wei Chuan stacked large and small snowballs together, "Without the technology, how can we make the gender of the snowman obvious?"
Meng Tang laughed: "They don't have hair, let them wear hats and scarves."
Sister Fang brought a basket over: "There are the buttons and carrots you want."
"Thank you, Sister Fang." After Wei Chuan took it, he and Meng Tang decorated it together.
The two played happily until noon, each took a photo with the snowman, and asked Sister Fang to take a photo of them with the snowman.
Time passed by, and when we were having lunch, the atmosphere at the table was obviously not right.
Because after dinner, Wei Chuan had to leave.
Today is not an auspicious day to be sad. Everyone endured the emotions of parting and had a good meal with Wei Chuan in silence.
Meng Tang stood under the tree outside the study window, stirring the white snow on the branches.
Wei Chuan came over, and she was so lost in thought that she didn't hear any movement.
By the time he realized it, it was already too late. Wei Chuan waved the note in a bad way, showering the two of them with snowflakes on their heads.
Wei Chuan looked at the snowflakes melting on the tip of Meng Tang's nose and chuckled: "Is it cool?"
Meng Tang picked up a handful of snow particles on his shoulder, quickly pressed it on his face, and said back: "Is it cold?"
Meng Tang nodded: "Train well and compete well."
Wei Chuan touched the back of her head: "I'm leaving."
Meng Tang did not go to see her off, but turned around to watch him say hello to Sister Fang and Meng Yuchun before leaving.
She was extremely fortunate that she was busy enough to be able to suppress her thoughts on ordinary days and only let them out before going to bed.
In the first year after joining the team, Wei Chuan basically started from the bench. Even so, the statistics are pretty good.
More highlights and support from fans allowed him to quickly rise to become the team's new main force in just one year.
The coach fully supports this result because they originally recruited Wei Chuan because the team lacked freshmen.
But the players had some doubts, but the injuries and transfers of the old players forced them to accept Wei Chuan.
The second year after joining the team was the year when Wei Chuan emerged as the main force. He did not even go home during the Chinese New Year and flew to the American training camp.
There was a huge explosion on the court, with statistics rising across the board. He was selected for the CBA All-Star Game for the first time and won the "Most Improved Player" award.
In the third year, he became the absolute core of the team's outside line, making up for the regret of losing six games in the championship battle the previous year. He won the personal MVP in one fell swoop, was selected to the All-NBA First Team of the season, and was the All-Star Game vote winner and AMVP.
Wei Chuan has gone all the way, from sitting on the bench to a player with a voice and honors, in just three years.
If you want to ask who he was most ashamed of in the past three years, it was undoubtedly Meng Tang, because the two of them met only a handful of times in the past three years.
The phone calls only became frequent in the second year, but Wei Chuan knew everything about what Meng Tang did in Yanqing.
And he is about to have his longest vacation since joining the team, a full seven weeks, just in time to be busy with his wedding to Meng Tang.
