Chapter 77 The Wine is Strong
As soon as Yuan Dabao finished speaking, he was hit on the head.
It was none other than Xin Tianyi.
Xin Tianyi rewarded him with a slap, then frowned and said, "Can you please speak properly? What do you mean by getting together?"
Yuan Dabao didn't get angry. He knew he had said something wrong and quickly apologized to everyone with a smile: "I was wrong. I used the wrong words. I should have said, 'When did you two get together?' Right?"
Since Yuan Dabao apologized quickly and sincerely, everyone quickly turned their attention back to Wei Ran.
Wei Ran sat on the sofa, unable to move because Yuan Dabao was holding him. He could only tell the truth: "No, we are not together. Please don't make trouble."
"So what's going on?" Xin Tianyi looked at him. "Did Tianlan bypass me and contact you directly? And I sensed something was amiss last time. Dabao was organizing a get-together to celebrate the return. I called you then, and you immediately mentioned Tianlan. I wasn't paying attention at the time and said I'd contact her later, but you stopped me, saying you'd tell her."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dabao immediately looked at Xin Tianyi and asked in disbelief, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes. But I didn't think much of it at the time. Now that I think about it, it's not right. Wei Ran, hurry up and confess."
Bai Xue watched from the side and also encouraged: "Yeah, hurry up."
Wei Ran was honest and wouldn't lie. He either kept silent or said what he really thought.
At this moment, being forced by three people, his face turned red, and he could only say: "Dabao, let me go, you are strangling me to death. I will tell you!"
Yuan Dabao let go of Wei Ran, "Hurry up, wait a minute until Tianlan comes, and you won't talk anymore!"
Wei Ran and Cheng Tianlan weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, they had just been in touch more frequently recently, all because of Cheng Tianlan's nephew.
Cheng Tianlan's elder brother, Cheng Tianye's son was admitted to the first grade of junior high school last year and was assigned to Wei Ran's class.
Cheng Tianlan went home for the winter vacation and attended his nephew's parent-teacher meeting in place of his busy elder brother. Only then did he know that Wei Ran was actually the class teacher.
The two gradually started to contact each other because of Cheng Tianlan's nephew. When Cheng Tianlan just started his summer vacation, he even invited Wei Ran to his home for dinner.
After this confession, the other three people in the room exploded.
Yuan Dabao shook Wei Ran vigorously: "Alright, you've already made it to the stage of meeting the parents without telling us! Have you met Cheng Tianlan's two brothers? What do you say? What do they say?"
"I met a brother." Wei Ran said, "Her second brother went out to develop his career. Only her eldest brother and his family are at home."
"Doesn't Tianlan have only two brothers? And it was the eldest brother who raised her. Meeting the eldest brother is like meeting her parents." As Yuan Dabao was speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
He immediately jumped off the sofa and shouted, "It must be Tianlan. I'll go open the door. You two can interrogate her later to see if Wei Ran has not confessed anything!"
Cheng Tianlan looked the same as always, except she wasn't wearing glasses anymore. She was wearing a lake green dress, and when Yuan Dabao invited her in, she saw Wei Ran's face flushed red.
"Are you drinking already?" Cheng Tianlan asked in surprise as he put the dumplings on the coffee table.
"No, the dishes haven't been served yet." Xin Tianyi said.
"Why is Wei Ran's face so red? It's like he's been drinking!" Cheng Tianlan asked.
"Really?" Yuan Dabao immediately said sarcastically, "Wei Ran blushes when he drinks? I didn't even know that. How did you know, Tianlan?"
Cheng Tianlan immediately turned to look at Yuan Dabao, her sharp eyes piercing his face. Then, looking at everyone else's expressions, she instantly guessed what had happened. Smiling, Cheng Tianlan pulled out a steamed dumpling from the bag, fresh from the pot, still emitting steam. She blew on it while saying to everyone, "Tell me, who bullied our teacher, Teacher Wei? As the parent of one of Teacher Wei's students, I'm the first to disagree!"
Cheng Tianlan and Xin Tianyi were admitted to university in the same year.
In 1997, Xin Tianyi had already graduated, but Cheng Tianlan still had one year to study.
Cheng Tianlan studied medical imaging, which takes one year longer than the average undergraduate program, and takes five years.
Cheng Tianlan was picked up as soon as summer vacation started. Cheng Tianye watched her very closely and didn't let her stay in school for a minute. He drove to pick up Cheng Tianlan the day before the vacation started.
Cheng Tianlan looked at Xin Tianyi with great envy and murmured, "You're so lucky. You stay in your own university to teach. You have winter and summer vacations. Besides, we're all college students, so it's not tiring. As for me, I still have a year of internship. I've had a miserable four years. It's all my brother's fault. He said that the family needed a doctor and that we were short of one, so he asked me to go to medical school. After four years of study, I have to go for internship again..."
Cheng Tianlan wanted to cry but had no tears. "Really, I don't want to go. I'm scared after hearing what my brothers and sisters said."
"Keep going! Angels in white, saving lives and healing the wounded!" Yuan Dabao said from the side. "Really, Tianlan, I'm telling you, you chose a fantastic major. You don't know how often emergencies happen on our trains. I've encountered one before. At that critical moment, luckily there was a doctor in another carriage who heard our emergency broadcast and came over..."
Yuan Dabao became more and more moved as he spoke. He looked at Cheng Tianlan and said, "Your profession is truly great."
But he didn't forget to boast, "Of course, mine too."
When everyone was immersed in that great story, Yuan Dabao's last words ruined it.
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. The live broadcast on TV had already begun.
Everyone was paying attention to the live broadcast process while chatting about the future and the past.
When the wine was strong, the phone at home rang.
Xin Tianyi walked over and picked up the phone. It was a bit noisy and chaotic on the other end.
But when the voice came through, it was longing and joy.
"I heard you guys got together tonight?" Zhang Yang's voice came from across the ocean. "Did you watch the live broadcast? I was watching too. It was so exciting."
