Chapter 137 Kissing Exploding Beads

Meng Tang handed the milk tea to Shi Lan and Yang Ke, while he and Xie Lingyin took the fruit tea.

Xie Lingyin glanced at Yang Ke and said, "Ke, turn off the lights for a moment. Let's light some candles and sing birthday songs."

"Okay." Yang Ke got up and turned off the lights. Shi Lan put the candles on and took the matches that came with the birthday cake.

With a "swish", a flash of light flashed in Meng Tang's vision, warming his eyes.

Xie Lingyin tilted her head and took the lead in singing the birthday song to Meng Tang. There was no shyness or restraint, only sincerity.

Meng Tang looked at the three of them, with silent emotion in his eyes.

"Happy birthday! Meng Tang."

Meng Tang pursed his lips and nodded: "Thank you."

Shi Lan urged her: "Hurry up and make a wish, let's blow out the candles."

Meng Tang clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, then put them down again after five seconds. Just as he was about to blow out the candles, his cell phone rang.

"It must be Wei Chuan," Xie Lingyin said, "You go first."

Yang Ke: "Yes, turn on the hands-free mode and let us listen to it."

Meng Tang turned on the hands-free mode and put the phone on the table.

The receiver contained the rhythmic sound of a basketball hitting the ground. Wei Chuan himself was also breathing slightly, probably having just finished training.

Sure enough, he said on the phone:

"I just finished training and will be eating soon. Are you done with get out of class?"

Meng Tang hummed, "The get out of class ended early, and I've already returned to the dormitory."

Wei Chuan: "Have you eaten? Why are you back to the dormitory?"

Meng Tang said: "I celebrated my birthday in the dormitory tonight. I bought some food and didn't go to the cafeteria."

"Have you eaten the cake yet?" Wei Chuan chuckled. "And the presents, have you opened them yet?"

Meng Tang said, "I hadn't taken it down yet. I was about to blow out the candles when you called."

"If I interrupted you, will it stop working?" Wei Chuan thought subconsciously. "How about you make another wish?"

"Okay, then don't hang up."

Meng Tang made a wish again and blew out the candles.

The other three clapped and shouted, "Happy birthday..."

Wei Chuan listened to the whole process and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to eat first. I finished training early tonight, which I specifically tried to do. Wait for my call?"

"Okay." Meng Tang responded.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ke sighed twice: "Why don't you even say happy birthday?"

Shi Lan pushed her back: "Didn't you hear me? Come find our Meng Tang after training. We'll definitely talk face to face then. Hurry up and turn on the light."

Yang Ke stood up and turned on the light.

Meng Tang shielded his eyes and said, "I'll cut the cake for you first."

She picked up the knife and fork, set out the disposable plates, and gave each person a piece.

The cake is not big, just right for eating.

As they ate and chatted, they talked about the Cubal national competition.

It was postponed to summer vacation so that everyone would have time, and the final question would be whether to go to the event in person.

Xie Lingyin said, "Xu Heqing said everyone in their dorm must go and support them. Since it's the finals, I've decided to go and watch it live too. What about you guys?"

Shi Lan swallowed the last bite of cake and said, "When I go back to my hometown during the summer vacation, I will definitely watch the live broadcast. Maybe I can see you on TV then."

"I can't go either." Yang Ke complained, "My brother and sister-in-law are busy. When they have a holiday, I automatically transform into Dehua."

Meng Tang was amused: "Do I have to take care of the child for the entire summer vacation?"

Yang Ke nodded: "It's a bit tiring, but I'm willing to do it if I have money."

Shi Lan couldn't imagine how much trouble the child would cause, and laughed at her: "How much do you give me? Is that how much you're willing to give me?"

Yang Ke stretched out his index and middle fingers: "Twenty thousand."

Xie Lingyin: "It's not a small amount, and I remember your nephew and niece are grown up, so just keep an eye on them."

Yang Ke: "That's right, tutoring is a separate price."

She didn't want to be mad to death.

Xie Lingyin turned to Meng Tang and asked, "You're definitely going to the finals, right?"

Meng Tang nodded and said, "Yes, I was going to the previous match, but Wei Chuan wouldn't let me, saying it was too tiring."

Xie Lingyin said, "It's tiring to compete, so just come with us."

Meng Tang: "Okay, I'll contact you then."

Shi Lan opened the pizza box, handed out two gloves to each person, and asked, "So what are your plans for summer vacation?"

"I'm planning to go collect folk songs," Xie Lingyin said. "I'll leave after the Cubal competition is over."

Meng Tang turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Lingyin said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but I've already told Xu Heqing that we're going together."

Shi Lan: "Fuck, I'm really envious."

She could only do sketching in the countryside.

Yang Ke looked at Meng Tang: "You haven't told me what you plan to do during the summer vacation."

"What's there for her to say?" Xie Lingyin laughed. "She's just going back to keep her pile of wood company. I'm still waiting for school to start so she can bring us a couple of little wood carvings."

Yang Ke: "You know what, my niece really likes the little duck Meng Tang gave me last year, but I like it too, so she cheated and I didn't give it to her either."

It was mainly given by Meng Tang, so it would be difficult for her to give it to someone else.

Meng Tang said, "It's okay. I'll carve two more for you in August."

Yang Ke bowed to her and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Xie Lingyin grasped the key point: "August? Judging from your tone, you have something going on in July? The competition can't last for a month, right?"

Meng Tang cleared his throat, a little embarrassed: "Maybe I have to go out and play with Wei Chuan."

"Where are you going? How about going with me and Xu Heqing to collect folk songs?"

It would be much more interesting if there were four of us together.

Meng Tang wanted to, but she had already made an agreement with Wei Chuan, so she declined: "We're going to Hong Kong, so we shouldn't take the same route."

Xie Lingyin grabbed her arm and asked, "Are you guys going to Hong Kong for fun?"

Meng Tang nodded: "Actually, it's because I've never been there, so he wanted to take me there."

Shi Lan was almost envious and stretched out her hand to Meng Tang: "My dear, help me play."

Yang Ke: "Add 1."

Xie Lingyin had been there before and said, "It's quite fun. Wei Chuan has been there, so he should know everything. How many days did you two go?"

"About a week." Meng Tang said, "I have something to do during the summer vacation, so I'll be staying in Yanqing in August."

Her work is equivalent to a practice for beginners, and she will show it to the old man for his review in the end.

The winter vacation was delayed due to the restoration of the Guanyin statue, so the work on "Years of Abundance" was moved to the summer vacation.

During this period, you need to be quiet and it is impossible to go anywhere else.

After chatting for more than an hour, Meng Tang was urged to open the gifts.

Xie Lingyin pointed behind her and said, "The three on top were given by the three of us, and the largest box was given by Wei Chuan."

Meng Tang took the three above and took them apart in front of his roommates.

Shi Lan gave her a mug and Yang Ke gave her a power bank.

Because Meng Tang lost his power bank when he went to Luozhou Island before.

The one Yang Ke gave her was exactly the same as the one she used before.

Xie Lingyin's is also practical, it's a nightgown.

"Thank you." Meng Tang put away the things one by one and turned around to thank them.

"Look at what Wei Chuan gave you." Xie Lingyin laughed, "I'm more curious about this."

Shi Lan came over and said, "It looks like a shoe box."

Meng Tang opened the outermost package and turned to Shi Lan and said, "You guessed right, it's shoes."

When I opened it, I found it was a pair of North Carolina blue Dunk Low. The shoes looked very familiar. Wei Chuan seemed to have a pair too.

Obviously they are couple shoes. Wei Chuan doesn’t have cheap shoes.

The minimum number would have to be four digits, she had overheard others discussing this.

The day he gave the gift was really clever. If Meng Tang asked about the price at this moment, it would be simply unsociable.

But how does he know his shoe size?

Xie Lingyin said, "The gifts we gave you today are all very down-to-earth. You can use them all."

Meng Tang responded, put his shoes away, and opened his phone to take a look.

Wei Chuan estimated that it would take another hour before she could finish training. She said, "I'm going downstairs to walk around the playground and wait for Wei Chuan. You guys go take a shower. I'll clean up and take away the trash."

"I'll do it." Shi Lan took the trash can. "It's your birthday today, so why should I ask you to do anything? Just go downstairs and take the trash with you."

Xie Lingyin touched Meng Tang's arm and said, "I'll give you something."

Meng Tang leaned over curiously: "What?"

"Kissing makes the balls pop." Xie Lingyin whispered.

Meng Tang blushed and pushed her hand away: "I don't want it."

Xie Lingyin laughed at her: "I don't believe you won't kiss tonight."

"I……"

Meng Tang was speechless.

She cleared her throat uncomfortably: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Xie Lingyin knew she was going to brush her teeth and kept laughing.

After coming out of the bathroom, Meng Tang changed his clothes and went downstairs carrying the garbage.

Arriving at the door of the girls' dormitory, she took out her phone and typed a message to Wei Chuan: [I'm going to the playground to walk around and digest my food. Come find me there after training.]

At this time, Meng Tang did not realize that an embarrassing drama was waiting for her tonight.

It all started when Wei Chuan received this message.

He saw the message after training, but because he still had to take a shower, he asked Tian Yu to help him charge his phone.

His phone hadn't been charged for two days and its battery had dropped to 1.

Wei Chuan came out of the shower room and changed into the casual clothes he brought with him.

After fiddling with my hair in front of the mirror for a long time, I finally managed to get a hairstyle that I was quite satisfied with.

"Stop it, brother, you look cool enough." Cao Yan teased him, "If this senior saw this, she would be fascinated to death."

"You don't understand this." Tian Yu smiled and patted Cao Yan, "Your brother Chuan can't act arrogantly in front of Meng Tang."

Shao Yiming: "Yes, Meng Tang is a calm person who doesn't care about anything. Your brother Chuan is the one who is trying so hard, for fear of falling out of favor."

"Get lost." Wei Chuan pointed at them. "I finally have some free time tonight, don't waste it here with me."

Shao Yiming: "Come on, let's go back to the dormitory."

After a while, a man came in and asked, "Brother Chuan, do you want to take your cake out of the refrigerator?"

"Help me get it, thank you."

Wei Chuan put on his shoes and walked out.

The lounge was mostly empty, and his cake was placed on a table nearby.

Wei Chuan unplugged his phone and wanted to call Meng Tang, but found that it was not charged.

After being stunned for a while, he yelled, "Tian Yu! Can you be more reliable in your work?"

The clock on the wall was almost ten o'clock. Wei Chuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up the cake and ran out of the lounge.
