Chapter 103 Can we wait a while before leaving?
Meng Tang shook off Wei Chuan's hand: "What do you want me to tell you?"
Wei Chuan pulled her back: "You can say anything——"
"Hey, what are you doing?
A vulgar and joking voice was heard. Meng Tang looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Qin Yuan, who pushed Wei Chuan away and left.
"Meng Tang!"
"Don't chase me," Qin Yuan said with a click of his tongue. "It's obvious that she doesn't like you. The more you come closer when she's angry, the more annoying she becomes."
Wei Chuan turned around and said, "Why did you come at this moment, not earlier or later? Is that intentional?"
"Damn." Qin Yuan saw that he was irritable and handed him a cigarette. "Why didn't you let me come?"
Wei Chuan pushed his arm away: "No."
"Then I'll smoke it myself." Qin Yuan lit a cigarette. "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Wei Chuan did have a lot to say in his mind, but he just couldn't tell it to his roommates.
He took Qin Yuan inside to sit down and told him everything about himself and Meng Tang without reservation.
Qin Yuan complained: "I told you that you liked her, but you refused to admit it at first."
Wei Chuan said nothing.
Qin Yuan laughed: "Brother, you just think that Meng Tang broke up with you because you found out her father was in prison, right?"
Wei Chuan nodded.
"Then did you notice that when she broke up with you, she said one important point." Qin Yuan spread his hands towards him.
Wei Chuan frowned: "Which is the point?"
Qin Yuan said: "Her words have their key points. Let me analyze them for you."
"You asked her at the time if she broke up with you because of her father's matter. What did she answer?"
"She said that was only part of the reason," Wei Chuan replied, "and the other part was that she didn't want to pretend to be a couple with me anymore."
"Oh, that's right." Qin Yuan said like a worried old mother, "There are only two reasons why I don't want to pretend to be a couple. Either I don't like you, or I want to become a real couple."
Wei Chuan's face was full of confusion: "But I told her that I wanted to make our fake play real, but she still didn't agree."
"Then think about how she answered." Qin Yuan was convinced. "You asked if it was possible, and she said 'now'. Do you understand the meaning of the word 'now'?"
Wei Chuan was stunned: "Maybe in the future?"
"Yes." Qin Yuan said as if it was a matter of course, "What else?"
"Fuck." Wei Chuan was stunned. "Are you interpreting this blindly?"
Qin Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "No matter what she thinks, just interpret it according to what I tell you."
Wei Chuan sighed: "But you just said that you don't want to pretend to be a couple. There are only two reasons. It's also possible that she just doesn't like me."
Qin Yuan chuckled: "This is even simpler. Just try to see if her body movements indicate she's repelled by you and you'll know."
Wei Chuan shook his head: "I won't reject it, but I will hide from it."
Qin Yuan patted Wei Chuan with the back of his hand and said with a smile, "You're just shy."
Wei Chuan looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously, wanting to believe it but not daring to.
"If she really has feelings for you or already likes you, you have to find out why."
Wei Chuan: "What's the reason?"
"She likes you, so why did she break up with you?"
Wei Chuan: "You mean... her father?"
Qin Yuan nodded: "Everyone's family background is different. You are brave because your family has the confidence to support you in everything. She may have retreated just to protect herself."
"Besides, the moment she broke up with you was very crucial."
"She broke up with you after she found out you'd secretly gone to Yanqing. She subconsciously cared about your opinion of her father and her."
"When you're unsure, protect yourself first. Without any emotional entanglements, she can pretend not to care about your opinion of her family."
Wei Chuan had an epiphany.
Qin Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "I took some time off to come here tonight. Think about it yourself. We can talk again when we have time."
Wei Chuan sat alone in the cold wind, his heart ticking like a clock, difficult to stop.
Taking out his cell phone, he called Xu Heqing: "Where did you buy the potted plant?"
Since it's broken, you have to pay for it.
Meng Tang's aggrieved conversation just now didn't sound like a complaint, but more like a collapse of tense emotions.
But with less than a month until the regional competition, he didn't have much time to dwell on romance.
Wei Chuan let out a "fuck" and could only advise himself that good things come to those who wait.
For several days, the two had no contact.
It was not until Thursday that a phone call summoned Meng Tang to the large conference room on the third floor of the administrative building.
She was accompanied by Tan Xi and two boys.
After entering the conference room, Meng Tang was startled by the people in the room and subconsciously hid behind Tan Xi.
The teacher from the Propaganda Department waved at them and said, "Come in quickly. I have something to tell you."
Meng Tang followed Tan Xi in. When he saw Coach He and Wei Chuan, he was stunned. Then he looked again and saw Xie Lingyin and Xu Heqing were there.
Xie Lingyin waved at her and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
But Wei Chuan was on the other side, and Meng Tang didn't move.
Tan Xi turned around and pulled her back: "What are you standing there for? Come over and sit down."
Only the people in their two dormitories knew about their breakup, and it had not spread throughout the school.
The teacher urged again, and Meng Tang didn't want to attract more attention, so he had to sit next to Wei Chuan.
The teacher from the Propaganda Department said:
"This year, our school's promotional work for the CUBAL Southeast Division is a joint effort between the School of Fine Arts and the School of Physical Education."
"We've just had a meeting for over an hour and decided to do something creative this year."
"I see that the sculpture department hides away every year, but this year they've finally come out and shown off."
Tan Xi asked doubtfully, "Didn't it always consist of banners, posters, and short film clips in previous years? It seems we wouldn't be needed. The art design department can handle it completely."
The teacher pointed to his computer and said, "The data from the promotion in recent years shows that the click-through rate is getting lower and lower. Some people suggest combining it with the school's advantageous subjects."
"I chose the four of you from the Sculpture Department because you have the best grades, especially Meng Tang, who is very famous."
Being suddenly called out, Meng Tang pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.
"This project will count towards your practical credits. There are only two specific tasks to be done: one is the installation design of the theme sculpture, and the other is the filming of the dynamic poster."
"We need to use sculptural language to present the moment of movement. All the players on the school basketball team will be on camera, but that would easily distract, so we focus on one person."
"Wei Chuan is the most suitable candidate. Not to mention his handsomeness, he is also very capable, beyond doubt."
"Meng Tang will be in charge of the dynamic poster creation. After all, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend, so cooperation will be smoother, and it will also save Wei Chuan some time for training."
The others laughed, "Oh..."
Meng Tang felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing that no one else had any objections, the teacher made a decisive decision:
"If there are no more questions, we'll adjourn the meeting. We'll discuss the specific details in the group. The group leader will invite four students from the sculpture department to follow up on the progress."
Everyone closed their notebooks and stood up, causing chairs to clatter.
Just as Meng Tang was about to leave, someone next to him grabbed his wrist.
"What are you doing?" Meng Tang struggled but couldn't get free.
"Wait a moment before leaving." Wei Chuan looked at her, "Okay?"
Meng Tang raised his eyes and glanced at him, his fingertips moved slightly, and gradually loosened the strength.
