Chapter 15 It’s All About You

surprise?

Meng Tang was still pondering when Wei Chuan's message came again: [I told Xu Heqing that we're going to Yanqing during National Day.]

What?

Meng Tang quickly picked up his phone and replied: [Aren’t you going home? ]

Wei Chuan: [If I don’t reply, I’ll just go out and play for two days during my three-day vacation.]

Meng Tang: [Why go to Yanqing? ]

Wei Chuan: [Why are you playing dumb? I helped you trick Xu Heqing, and you still don't understand? It was all for you.]

Meng Tang: [……]

You didn’t take it home right away, did you?

Wei Chuan: [?]

Meng Tang: [Are you staying in a hotel?]

Wei Chuan: [How about staying at your house?]

Meng Tang: [That’s not what I meant.]

Wei Chuan: [Just kidding, Xu Heqing and I are staying at the hotel, just be a good host.]

Meng Tang: [Then I'll tell Lingyin.]

Wei Chuan: [Okay, don’t thank me too much. Good night.]

…

Meng Tang shook his head and laughed. What do you mean by "for her"? It's for Xie Lingyin, right?

However, Yanqing is a small place, but the scenery is still good.

The four people had their own plans, and the itinerary was decided.

The two places are not far away, and the high-speed rail only takes one and a half hours to get there. Yanqing is also a city under Province Z.

Two days before returning home, Meng Tang told this to his grandfather.

"It's rare for you to bring friends back. How many people are there?" the old man said happily.

"It's just one person, my roommate," Meng Tang said, "but there are two other boys who went to Yanqing to play, and I know them, so I thought of inviting them home for dinner. They have helped me before."

Meng Yuchun scoffed: "I even raised you. Do these two little bastards like you?"

"Grandpa!" Meng Tang was shocked.

"Or maybe you like one of them."

"Grandpa." Meng Tang was embarrassed and his voice was much weaker.

The old man snorted, "I'd like to see which one it is. Do they have any dietary restrictions? I'll ask Sister Fang to prepare some more dishes."

"Make some spicy food. My roommate likes it."

The old man responded, and the call ended there.

The journey was only an hour and a half, and Meng Tang felt that business class was unnecessary, so he discussed it with Xie Lingyin and bought a first-class ticket.

It’s just that the space is slightly bigger and there are fewer people.

If Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing are going too, I have to ask them no matter what.

Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing were traveling on the high-speed rail, and most people were seated in business class, but they followed the two girls and chose first-class seats.

It wasn't until they got on the train that they realized they were not in the same carriage.

Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing were seated in the business class carriage.

Meng Tang had just found a seat and sat down when Wei Chuan sent him a picture.

She clicked on it and saw a red double leather seat with no armrest in the middle.

Xie Lingyin glanced at it and said with a smile, "This is the legendary 'lower class seat'."

Meng Tang had never encountered such a situation before, so he glanced sideways and asked Xie Lingyin what she meant.

Xie Lingyin said, "They're in first-class seats in the business car, but they don't get any meals, the chairs can't be adjusted, there's no footrest, and they always slide down. And they're located behind the business car. It's a mismatch. Netizens jokingly call them 'lower-class seats.' But today, the two young masters got to sit there first."

Wei Chuan couldn't stand this disgusting position anymore. Just when he was about to find a flight attendant, Xu Heqing stopped him and said, "Forget it. It's only ninety minutes."

Wei Chuan suppressed his temper, and sat down there, looking a little aggrieved as he leaned inward.

The middle of the seat is sunken, and the two of them always slide towards the middle, making it awkward for strangers to be together.

Both Xu Heqing and Wei Chuan are not short, and Wei Chuan is 190cm tall.

Two big guys sticking together looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Xu Heqing laughed and said, "Sit down first. I'll go out for a while."

Wei Chuan had a rare rest yesterday. He played games with Li Zhuo and Liang Heng for half the night. Now he just wanted to catch up on some sleep and had no desire to speak.

Meng Tang took out his headphones and was about to put them on when he looked up and saw Xu Heqing.

She squeezed her earphones tightly.

"Meng Tang." Xu Heqing smiled gently. "Can I trade places with you? The school sports meet after National Day is being jointly planned by all the colleges, and Xie Lingyin is in charge of the key visual design. Because I have the right to review it, I rejected her first version, and she seemed a little angry. I'm taking this opportunity to talk to her."

Having said that, Meng Tang naturally agreed, but he also had to ask Xie Lingyin's wishes.

It is always awkward to sit together with strangers.

Xu Heqing coughed lightly, and Xie Lingyin nodded to Meng Tang.

After she left, Xie Lingyin turned around and asked Xu Heqing, "Why did you change seats?"

Xu Heqing held her hand: "Don't be angry, can't I miss you?"

Xie Lingyin pulled her hand back, her eyes cold. "Who's messing with you? Bring Meng Tang back."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?" Xu Heqing pinched the back of her hand.

Xie Lingyin pulled her hand back: "What do you mean?"

"Can't you tell that the person Wei Chuan wants to confess to is Meng Tang?" Xu Heqing had an expression that said, "You're a fool, you can't even tell that."

"What?" Xie Lingyin thought he was crazy. "They had never met before, so how could Wei Chuan like Meng Tang?"

"Who said they didn't have any intersection?" Xu Heqing grabbed her hand again, "They had an intersection since their freshman year. I don't know the details, but it's true. If you don't believe me, go ask Meng Tang."

"Then he also asked Meng Tang to carve something for him?"

"Isn't this more romantic? It's also a surprise."

"…Are you sure?"

These two people have nothing in common, so Xie Lingyin's suspicion is reasonable, but Meng Tang and Wei Chuan have indeed had some interactions during this period.

"He went to the Academy of Fine Arts to be a model, he was an assistant teacher in basketball classes, and when Meng Tang was injured he happened to be at the North Gate..." Xu Heqing listed them one by one. "Also, he took time out to teach Meng Tang how to play basketball at night, and he always mentioned her in the dormitory. This time when he went to Yanqing, I asked him if he was going alone, and he directly admitted it."

"He also taught Meng Tang how to play basketball?" Xie Lingyin was genuinely surprised.

Wei Chuan takes training very seriously and will not waste such meaningless time.

"It was at night, at the abandoned basketball court at the end of Building 5. I heard a few people from the school team mumbling."

"Then..." Xie Lingyin thought of the feast they had before. "During the meal, Wei Chuan asked Meng Tang if she wanted to confess her feelings. Was he hinting at her?"

Xu Heqing laughed: "Is this considered a hint? Is it an explicit statement?"

"Did he really say in person that he came here for Meng Tang?" Xie Lingyin asked again.

Xu Heqing: "Use your smart head to think about it. Whose hometown are we going to? How can he go alone? He can only take me with him and use his sister as a shield."

"Fuck." Xie Lingyin found herself unable to refute.

"Baby, don't say dirty words." Xu Heqing stopped her, "You always ruin the beauty of my beautiful face."

"Get lost. We're almost breaking up. Who is your baby?" Xie Lingyin rolled her eyes to the sky. She was totally inconsistent with the legendary image of the beautiful, delicate, gentle and lovely school beauty.

"Tell me again what Wei Chuan said about Meng Tang in the dormitory."

Xie Lingyin called Xu Heqing over without any hesitation.

Xu Heqing said, "They said Meng Tang prefers light, sweet food. I knew she started learning wood carving at the age of five. They also mentioned her award-winning works and said I'd have the chance to visit the Provincial Museum to admire them. My admiration for her was overwhelming. Oh, and I even went to your Academy of Fine Arts' official website and searched for Meng Tang's name..."

Xie Lingyin: “…”

There is a feeling of powerlessness, like a pig trying to dig up the cabbages in your own garden.

"Baicai" found the 2c seat very cleverly and just sat down when he woke up the restless "Pig" beside him.

"Why are you here?" Wei "Pig" asked in surprise.
