Chapter 16 What I said turned out to be true

Meng Tang explained in a low voice, leaning against the armrest with a bit of embarrassment.

Wei Chuan said "Oh": "Please sit down, but this seat is really uncomfortable."

Meng Tang glanced at the empty space in the middle and slid down uncontrollably.

Like a stiff log, Wei Chuan turned his head away and smiled silently, his sleepiness suddenly subsiding.

"This..." Meng Tang grabbed the handrail, "Why is it sinking in the middle?"

"The middle has collapsed because of the weight," Wei Chuan slid down himself. "It's made of leather, so of course it's slippery."

Meng Tang grunted and struggled to hold himself together. The person in the business class in front of him said impatiently, "Can you be quiet?"

Wei Chuan was already angry because of the unreasonable seat design, and he retorted:

"Brother, our voices are not as loud as the sound of you scrolling through videos."

The man said disdainfully: "If you don't have money, just sit second class next time."

"A crappy seat and you're still trying to tell me who's high and who's low?" Wei Chuan lost his temper. "If you have money, why are you still putting up with us in business class? Gulfstream's current main models aren't expensive. They're just a few small targets. You don't have any, do you?"

The man in front stood up in anger. Wei Chuan never tolerated these people, so he stood up as well.

The man's gaze changed from looking down to looking straight, and then to looking up, and his expression changed from arrogant to timid.

"Look, you're a student, so I won't bother with you."

The man made an excuse for himself, and after sitting down, the sound of his short videos dropped by two times.

Wei Chuan snorted coldly and sat down, then turned his head and met a pair of bright eyes.

"You are so awesome!" Meng Tang praised generously.

Wei Chuan laughed and said, "Learn from this and don't be so stupid. Next time you meet someone like this, you'll have to shut him up with words."

"It's not that I don't care." Meng Tang said with a faint smile, "I just don't care. Besides, as a girl, it would increase the risk of me getting into arguments with boys."

"You're right," Wei Chuan said, smiling his first genuine smile since getting on the bus. "One step back, and the world will be wider."

Meng Tang hummed, "My grandfather said that taking a step back opens up a new world, but it's true, but you can only take a step back, and you have to convince others with both skills and reason."

As they chatted, the two of them got closer because of the slippery material of the seat.

Wei Chuan curiously asked, "What if the other party doesn't know what's good for them and continues to push their luck?"

Meng Tang looked him in the eye and said, "When carving, if the carving knife hits the wood head-on, neither of them will have a good outcome. If you turn the knife to gain leverage, wood chips will fall off."

"You have a rift in your heart." Wei Chuan laughed, "I thought you really wouldn't fight back."

Meng Tang's lips curved into a faint smile.

People with different ideas cannot work together. For some people, you can see the other person's true nature at once.

She has her own way, and all she needs to do is stick to herself.

The two of them were completely stuck together. Shi Yue's clothes were thin, and Meng Tang awkwardly pushed himself to sit on the side.

Wei Chuan stuffed his coat between the two of them and said, "Don't move, just sit like this."

The coat is thin, but better than nothing.

In the well-air-conditioned carriage, the temperature beside my legs was like a wet tissue with a water droplet that kept expanding.

Meng Tang was stiff and dared not move. The scenery outside the window flew by, and she smelled a hint of cold mint again.

The car body shook, and the moment her arm touched it, she pulled it back.

"Are you cold?" Wei Chuan asked in a low voice with his head down.

There was no movement in the carriage. The person in the front had fallen asleep. Meng Tang also said in a low voice, "It's not cold."

Her coat was stuffed into her bag, which was on the luggage rack of the first-class carriage. She forgot to bring it with her when she switched seats with Xu Heqing, and thought she would get it when they were about to arrive at the station.

Wei Chuan bent down, unzipped his bag, took out a white casual jacket and handed it over.

"This is new. I just got it when I got home. You can make do with it."

"No, thanks." Meng Tang didn't feel comfortable wearing his clothes, so he quickly refused.

Wei Chuan thought she was disgusted and explained, "I really haven't worn it. I just unboxed it."

"I'm not... I'm not cold."

"Really not cold?"

Meng Tang shook his head. It was cold, of course, but Wei Chuan liked Xie Lingyin, so he had to maintain the appropriate distance.

Jackets are private items and are not suitable for people who are not boyfriends or girlfriends.

Wei Chuan was rejected and felt a little embarrassed. He stuffed his clothes into a ball and zipped up his bag.

The two fell into silence, and Wei Chuan realized belatedly that his clothes were indeed inappropriate for Meng Tang.

He took out his phone and typed: [Have you agreed?]

Xu Heqing: [What's wrong? Are you two unhappy chatting? ]

Wei Chuan: [No, the seat is uncomfortable, I want to switch with you.]

Xu Heqing: [We haven't finished talking yet. Xie Lingyin is so difficult to deal with. It's less than forty minutes. Please bear with it.]

Wei Chuan: [……]

He is tall and has long legs, so no matter how he sits, he feels uncomfortable.

Meng Tang is small in stature, so try to give him as much space as possible.

After finally reaching the station, Wei Chuan's legs and feet were numb.

Xie Lingyin brought Meng Tang's bag over, Meng Tang took it, and they left the station and took a taxi.

Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing booked the best hotel in Yanqing City, which was a bit far from Meng Tang's home.

Arriving at their own territory, Meng Tang felt it was not appropriate to leave without Xie Lingyin. He paused outside the exit and said politely:

"It's still early. I told Grandpa that you guys should come over. Why don't we have dinner together at my house?"

Wei Chuan shook his head: "It's dark now, it's not convenient to go to your house, let's take you back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"That's fine." Meng Tang agreed, "But you don't have to send us off. Lingyin and I can take a taxi."

Seeing Xu Heqing frown, Xie Lingyin immediately decided, "That's it. We're leaving now. You guys can go back to the hotel."

Meng Tang glanced at his phone and saw that the taxi had arrived. He turned around and waved to Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing.

After getting in the car, Meng Tang asked, "Why do you look unhappy? Didn't your conversation with Xu Heqing go well?"

Xie Lingyin: "No, the car was quiet. I didn't answer the call from home. They were criticizing me in the family group."

"In the group?" Meng Tang frowned.

Is it necessary to make a fuss about such a small matter in front of so many relatives and friends?

Xie Lingyin leaned against Meng Tang and said sarcastically, "I always doubt if I'm their biological child. They treat their nephews better than me, just because I'm a girl."

Meng Tang patted her shoulder and said, "Look at yourself, are you a boy or a girl?"

Xie Lingyin stood up and looked at Meng Tang. "I can't change my gender, and I can't change my personality. They see me as a girl, but I see myself as myself."

Meng Tang smiled and said, "That's it."

Xie Lingyin let out a sigh of relief, and her mood became much better. She even had the mind to gossip.

Thinking of what Xu Heqing had said to her, she asked Meng Tang: "I want to ask you something."

Mysterious, Meng Tang was a little curious: "Ask."

"Did you and Wei Chuan know each other before?"

Meng Tang was puzzled: "No."

Xie Lingyin: "But I heard that you knew him during your freshman year?"

"When did I admit it—" Meng Tang choked in the middle of his words. Could Xie Lingyin be asking about the box incident?

Has this matter reached her ears?

On the night she went to see Wei Chuan, only his roommate heard some snippets of what she said. How did it get out?

"Why are you blushing?" Xie Lingyin was surprised. "Did you really know Wei Chuan before?"

Meng Tang: "...It's not what you think. We only met once."

Xie Lingyin: “…”

What Xu Heqing said turned out to be true. The person Wei Chuan likes is Meng Tang?
