Chapter 72 Let’s Be Together For Now

Xie Lingyin had an auntie's smile on her face, looking even happier than Meng Tang.

"Congratulations." She looked at Wei Chuan, "When are you going to treat everyone in our dormitory to a meal?"

Wei Chuan laughed dryly: "When you have time."

Xie Lingyin: "Then I'll be waiting."

Xu Heqing tugged at Xie Lingyin and said, "Let's go first."

"OK."

Xu Heqing wanted to go back and share the good news with his roommates, but just as the idea came to his mind, Liang Heng called.

He asked on the phone: "Why haven't you two shown up yet?"

Xu Heqing said: "Your brother Chuan is confessing his love, I'm here to watch."

"Don't--" Meng Tang and Wei Chuan's outstretched hands froze in mid-air at the same time.

Xu Heqing mouthed suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Wei Chuan felt hopeless and shook his head.

The next second, Liang Heng yelled into his phone, "Fuck! You're confessing without us? I'm not even worthy of being part of the atmosphere group?"

The devilish sound pierced their ears, and Wei Chuan and Meng Tang looked at each other awkwardly.

Xu Heqing smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you?"

"Turn on the loudspeaker." Li Zhuo came over and shouted.

Xu Heqing turned on the loudspeaker.

"Wei Chuan, you're really good. You confessed your feelings to your brother without telling him." Li Zhuo was a little angry. "Will you not call me when we get married?"

"I didn't mean that." Wei Chuan felt short of breath in front of his brother for the first time.

Li Zhuo said angrily, "You'd better be."

"Did it succeed?" Liang Heng asked the key question.

"What do you think?" Xu Heqing chuckled. "Brother Chuan is here, and he's worth two."

Liang Heng was happy for his brother, but he also worried about himself and Xu Heqing: "We both have to work hard. I don't want to be single after graduation."

"Uh..." Xu Heqing paused, "You're the only one who needs to cheer up. I don't need to."

Liang Heng had an ominous premonition: "What do you mean?"

"I'm in love too." Xu Heqing dropped a bombshell.

Liang Heng was petrified: "With whom?"

Xu Heqing replied: "Thank you Lingyin."

Liang Heng exclaimed, "Did someone in their dorm drug you two? It's okay with Chuan Ge and Meng Tang, but when did you and Xie Lingyin start?"

"It happened last semester."

"Fuck." Liang Heng hung up the phone.

Meng Tang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked Xu Heqing: "Why did Liang Heng say that about me and Wei Chuan?"

Xu Heqing said calmly, "Everyone in our dormitory and the basketball team knows about you two. It's not surprising."

Meng Tang looked at Wei Chuan: "What do you mean?"

Wei Chuan was also confused and asked Xu Heqing: "Do you know everything about us?"

Xu Heqing nodded: "Yes, the news of you two being affectionate in this abandoned basketball court was spread by Shao Yiming and Tian Yu."

"Sweethearted?" Wei Chuan was shocked. "Which eye of theirs saw it?"

Xu Heqing said, "I don't remember it very clearly. I just came to the dormitory one night and talked about it. The description was very vivid."

Wei Chuan: “…”

Damn it, he would make sure Tian Yu and Shao Yiming perform it for him vividly when he got back.

Meng Tang was confused. This meant that Wei Chuan’s friends had always thought that the person he liked was her?

It's the biggest misunderstanding ever.

Xie Lingyin had no idea of ​​Meng Tang's complicated feelings. She took Xu Heqing's arm and waved to Meng Tang, thinking she was being very considerate.

"Let's leave the time to you two. We'll also go on a date."

Meng Tang mechanically said "goodbye" to her.

After the two left, the only sound left in the quiet basketball court was the sound of the wind.

Meng Tang didn't know what to say. He stared at the colorful lights on the distant wall and asked, "When did you put it up?"

Wei Chuan said: "This is simple. I made it during the lunch break."

The atmosphere fell silent again. Wei Chuan looked at Meng Tang and asked quietly, "Have you not eaten yet?"

Meng Tang shook his head: "I'm not hungry."

She is very confused now and has no mind to eat.

Wei Chuan responded softly: "I know."

It was obvious that she liked Xu Heqing, but she was forced to "officially announce" it to herself, and it became known to everyone.

"I'm sorry, I—"

"It's not your fault." Meng Tang was tired of standing, so he turned around and sat down on the steps. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Wei Chuan sat down next to her and said, "Xu Heqing is very smart. I had no choice but to give you the flowers."

"If I deny it and say it wasn't you who confessed, it won't explain the fact that I made an appointment with Xie Lingyin. He'll figure it out after thinking about it."

"Maybe in the end, you won't even be able to hide the fact that you like him."

"I can only accept the matter."

Hearing the caution in his words, Meng Tang smiled and said, "I understand. I don't blame you."

Instead, I felt a little sympathy for him, and my enthusiasm was met with a bucket of cold water.

"Then we..." Wei Chuan felt a little awkward, "I, I'll give it to you."

Meng Tang slowly exhaled, turned his head and said to Wei Chuan: "How about this, since everyone has misunderstood us, and we have a secret that cannot be told, let's be together for the time being."

"Ah?" Wei Chuan was stunned. "You are willing?"

Meng Tang nodded: "I know you don't want to, but it's all fake. Winter vacation is coming soon. When school starts, tell your friends that we broke up because of personality differences."

This is the best solution.

Wei Chuan said "Oh", and a trace of inexplicable loss flashed across his eyes.

"Don't be like this. Who would have thought that Lingyin had been hiding her relationship?" Meng Tang comforted him. "She and Xu Heqing have been dating for half a year. No matter how much you like her, you can only keep it to yourself."

"I'm not—"

"I know."

Wei Chuan: “…”

What do you know.

Anyway, he couldn't explain it clearly. He lowered his head to check the time and said, "I'll take you to dinner."

"I'd better go back to the dormitory."

"Let's go eat. It's still early. From Xie Lingyin's perspective, I've successfully confessed my love to you, so I can't let my girlfriend go hungry, right?"

"We're not real."

"In the eyes of others, we are real. Before the winter break even, you're already thinking about parting ways with me?"

Unable to convince him, Meng Tang stood up holding the flowers and said, "Let's go and have dinner."

The bouquet was too big, so Wei Chuan took it and said, "I'll hold it for you first."

Wei Chuan flipped through his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hello, do you have any private rooms?"

Meng Tang turned sideways and wanted to say just take a bite, but Wei Chuan ignored her hint.

"My girlfriend is timid and not used to sitting in the lobby. It doesn't matter if the private room is small, as long as it has a window."

Meng Tang paused. How could this person get into the role so quickly?

"Okay, thank you."

Wei Chuan hung up the phone and saw that she was still standing there, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you teasing me for fun?" Meng Tang rolled his eyes at him.

Wei Chuan felt a little guilty: "I moved you out so that we can talk. Look, I was given a private room with a window."

If it weren't for time issues, he wouldn't be bargaining here.

Is this a date? He had to choose a good restaurant. He remembered the best restaurant nearby was the one he called.

Turning onto the main road, the street lights became much brighter. Meng Tang was struck by a spreading flower and subconsciously looked over.

The scenery is full of green, special and eye-catching.

His sight stretched out like a branch of flower, and Meng Tang was startled.

There was a sentence handwritten on the simple white card, a confession that was very ambiguous and beautiful, but had nothing to do with Xie Lingyin.
