Chapter 145: Claiming Sovereignty

The evening breeze is gentle and people are lovely.

Wei Chuan was reluctant to leave. He held the back of Meng Tang's neck and squeezed it soothingly: "Wait five more minutes."

Meng Tang's eyes and eyebrows blossomed like flowers in March, bright and sweet. She smiled and hugged Wei Chuan's waist, rubbing against his chest.

A few minutes is also good, every second of hugging is precious.

It seems that she really missed him. Wei Chuan curled his lips, not with pride, but with heartache.

He sighed and silently hugged the person tighter.

He and Meng Tang had just started dating, and it was unfair for her to be alone all the time.

Other people's boyfriends accompany them to and from school, to eat and go shopping all day long, but Meng Tang acts as if they are not in a relationship at all.

"You always go to the wood carving studio alone, remember to eat on time." Wei Chuan moved his palm up and patted her head gently, "I have to put someone in your dormitory to supervise you, and you are not allowed to pretend to obey."

He had long discovered that Meng Tang was sometimes quite lazy and would be too lazy to eat once he missed mealtime.

It's okay occasionally, but it's not good for your health in the long run.

"There's also an informant?" Meng Tang raised his head from his arms, "Who is it?"

"I don't even know who it is myself." Wei Chuan laughed, "I haven't told your roommates yet. Anyway, I have their WeChat accounts, so we'll tell you later."

Meng Tang: "I guess you're looking for Yang Ke."

Wei Chuan flicked her forehead and deliberately kept her in suspense: "I won't tell you."

Meng Tang bit his lower lip lightly, his eyes darting around.

Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows. What was he going to do?

There was no one around, which was a good time to do something bad. Meng Tang put his hands on the back of Wei Chuan's neck and pulled him down.

Wei Chuan could only cooperate by lowering his head and bending over.

A gentle "boo" and a sweet and soft kiss made Wei Chuan dizzy.

"Can you tell me now?"

A healthy love makes a person ten thousand times more beautiful. There was a cunning and spiritual aura in Meng Tang's eyes that she had never had before.

"Fuck." Wei Chuan gritted his teeth and squeezed her waist hard. "Who did you learn this from?"

Meng Tang snorted and laughed: "You are the only one who can do that?"

"I can't." Wei Chuan's cheeks tightened, his palms supporting her neck, his thumbs pressing against her chin, forcing Meng Tang to tilt her head back as much as possible, "Kiss me, open your mouth."

The voice was full of tenderness. Meng Tang was stunned, and his lips and tongue were instantly conquered.

As separation was imminent, Wei Chuan's emotions reached their peak at this moment. Before he left, his longing for his lover was already surging like waves.

Wei Chuan kissed him so urgently and deeply that Meng Tang couldn't breathe for a moment and subconsciously pushed back against his collarbone.

Wei Chuan's hands were very big, so big that he could easily clamp Meng Tang's two wrists.

He grabbed her and locked her up and put her down. Meng Tang let out a "hmm" sound and was pulled forward by him.

The two bodies were like magnets attracted to each other, and Meng Tang completely lost the strength to resist.

The entangled breaths have long been indistinguishable from each other.

It was not until he heard the sound of playfulness in the distance that Wei Chuan turned slightly and let go of Meng Tang.

He knew she was shy, so he used himself to shield her from the prying eyes of others.

"Okay." Wei Chuan smiled and smoothed her long hair, saying gently, "The person is gone."

Meng Tang pushed him, his heart pounding: "You should leave quickly too."

"No way, I was reluctant to let go just now." Wei Chuan pretended to be sad, "You don't recognize me after you kissed me?"

The hot breath still lingered between his lips and teeth, and Meng Tang felt as if his head was deprived of oxygen after being kissed so hard.

She pulled Wei Chuan's arm, turned him around, and pushed him toward the road: "You go ahead, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Wei Chuan turned around, touched the hair tie that tied her hair with his fingers, and pulled it off with a little force.

Her hair hung down loosely, and Meng Tang looked up at him: "What are you doing with my hairband?"

"It's useful." Wei Chuan took her head and kissed her between the eyebrows. "We really have to go now. Let's go up."

"Yeah." Meng Tang waved at him.

When Meng Tang returned to the dormitory, he met three smiling faces.

"Why are you looking at me?" She subconsciously turned back to look at the full-length mirror, "Is there anything wrong with my face?"

Xie Lingyin pouted at her: "Bobo."

Meng Tang opened his lips and said, "...Xie Lingyin!"

Xie Lingyin leaned against the back of her chair, smiling, and said, "Wei Chuan really likes you. His eyes are gone when he smiles."

Meng Tang pointed at them and asked, "Did you peek?"

Shi Lan pinched her fingers and said, "We watched for a little while. When you two kissed, we retreated to the fortress."

"I'm really impressed."

Meng Tang blushed and went to his seat.

Xie Lingyin followed him and said, "I just video chatted with Xu Heqing, and he told me that Wei Chuan is leaving for Seoul tomorrow. No wonder he came to see you tonight."

"He's going tomorrow," Meng Tang said. "He'll get used to the environment in advance. My work at the museum is also nearing completion during the week he's gone."

This week, she happened to go clean up and then concentrate on watching his live game.

After class the next day, Meng Tang went to the museum.

I was busy until eight o'clock in the evening and had a quick dinner at the east gate before returning to the dormitory.

Xie Lingyin was relieved to see her back and asked, "Did you check your phone today?"

Meng Tang shook his head: "No time to play."

Xie Lingyin laughed: "Your Wei Chuan is trending."

"Huh?" Meng Tang was stunned. "He's not a celebrity, why would he be on the trending search?"

"Isn't he a star?" Shi Lan interjected, "Basketball stars are stars too, not to mention he's so handsome."

Yang Ke put his arm around Meng Tang's shoulders and said, "Do you know what netizens think of him?"

Meng Tang took out his phone from his bag and asked, "What's the review?"

"Four-word motto." Yang Ke counted them off on her fingers, "Extraordinarily handsome, broad shoulders and narrow waist, accurate shooting, brother, come on... me."

Meng Tang was speechless for a moment, and after a while he turned to look at Yang Ke: "Are you sure you can say the last four words?"

"That's not what I said." Yang Ke shook his head. "You should just look at your phone."

Meng Tang put down his bag, didn't take a shower, and didn't feel tired anymore.

She unlocked her phone and entered the relevant software, only then did she realize that Wei Chuan and his team had been photographed while riding the high-speed rail and uploaded to the Internet.

This is a Cubal event, and both mainstream media and entertainment media have reported on it, but the former focuses on positive energy and sports, while the latter seems to be more gossipy.

The mainstream media reviewed Wei Chuan's journey to winning the Southeast Division MVP, while the entertainment media focused on topics such as "players' sleeping positions," "what snacks they eat," and "average height."

One of the most popular videos is the one where Wei Chuan threw the milk carton into the trash can, with the same expression as when Meng Tang took him to be a model.

Meng Tang flipped through the comments and saw a lot of people calling him "husband" and "brother".

She took a screenshot and spat, "Showing off."

There were also some girls in the comments who didn’t follow this circle but just thought he was handsome, and they kept asking what kind of competition it was.

After someone explained the situation to her, she started following Wei Chuan and posted a screenshot of the private message under the relevant article, saying proudly: "Let's see how long it will take me to win over this handsome guy. Please bear witness."

Meng Tang clicked on the screenshot and found a very sincere message. It was probably about having a crush and hesitating for a long time before sending you a message, saying that Wei Chuan was very cute when he smiled and asked if he could have his contact information or something like that.

Meng Tang glanced at her nickname - Marshmallow.

Meng Tang snorted and replied directly to the girl's screenshot comment: [He has a girlfriend.]

Marshmallow: [How do you know? ]

Meng Tang, nicknamed "Wooden Piece," continued to reply: [Look at the red silk hair tie on his wrist. It belongs to his girlfriend.]

In fact, when Meng Tang saw this just now, he was also stunned.

I thought he was going to do something with the hairband, but it turns out he was just wearing it on his wrist.

But this person is really something. She has plenty of things to post on social media, so why does she wear something so bright?

The person on the other end hasn't replied for a long time, he must have gone to look at photos and videos.

Meng Tang thought she had gotten rid of a love rival, but ten minutes later, Marshmallow replied to her again:

Don't basketball players wear wrist guards or something? The pictures and videos from the high-speed rail station aren't very clear, so it doesn't mean it's a hairband, right? Even if there's a hairband, it doesn't mean it's from your girlfriend, right?

Meng Tang was speechless for a moment, took a photo of his other identical hairband, and replied.

Marshmallow: [You can fool me by just picking one? ]

Meng Tang: [I'm not kidding you, he really has a girlfriend, and that's me.]

Marshmallow: [I checked your homepage and it was just a pile of wood, not a single trace of love. Are you addicted to your imagination?]

Meng Tang endured it and went to the album to find the photos with Wei Chuan, all of which were taken on Luozhou Island.

She posted nine photos in a row with the caption: My boyfriend is away at the competition, I miss him!

After impulsively doing all this, Meng Tang replied to Marshmallow: [Please visit my homepage again.]

And then... nothing happened, the marshmallow melted.

Many netizens watched this "battle", and no one knew how it was spread. Then the news that "Cubal player Wei Chuan's girlfriend declared sovereignty" spread throughout the Cubal circle.

The number of comments under Meng Tang's latest update surged. She flipped through them and found that most of them were blessings.

Meng Tang put down his phone and whispered, "Attract bees and butterflies."

Shi Lan watched the whole process and almost threw the keyboard in excitement.

"Fuck, Meng Tang, you're awesome! You're directly declaring your sovereignty."

Meng Tang was stunned: "Did you see it?"

"Hehe." Shi Lan laughed teasingly, "I watched the whole thing and was still wondering how you would explain it, when you put up the nine-square grid."

Meng Tang said: "I explained it several times, but people didn't believe me."

Shi Lan: "Yes, yes, you were forced."

"I won't talk to you anymore." Meng Tang stood up and took a towel, "I'm going to take a shower."

"I'm shy." Shi Lan nudged Yang Ke, "I wonder if Wei Chuan can see it, oh?"

Yang Ke also laughed: "The competition hasn't started yet, so the control of mobile phones shouldn't be that strict. Maybe they'll see it."

Shi Lan: "If Wei Chuan saw this, he would be so happy that he would die."

I have to say, Shi Lan predicted it again.

Wei Chuan saw it on the third night after arriving in Seoul. After the cell phone was distributed, the first thing he wanted to do was call Meng Tang.

But he was pulled over by Shao Yiming and Tian Yu and saw the whole process of Meng Tang declaring his sovereignty.

Tian Yu patted Wei Chuan's chest with his backhand: "Brother, let me interview you. What do you think now?"

"Don't waste my fucking time." Wei Chuan pushed Tian Yu away, "I want to call Meng Tang."

"Hurry up."

Wei Chuan stood up and left, not wanting to waste this half hour of free time at all.
