Chapter 119 He Can't Wait to Sleep on the Same Bed
"Come in."
Seeing him staring blankly, Meng Tang pointed inside.
Wei Chuan still didn't react and asked, "Do I live here?"
"What else?" Meng Tang looked up at him, "This is the best room."
"I mean, the two of us." Wei Chuan's fingers moved back and forth between the two of them. "Living in the same room?"
"Who wants to share a room with you?" Meng Tang rolled his eyes at him. "This is a suite with two bedrooms. Mine is smaller, and yours is bigger."
Wei Chuan frowned: "Why do you live in a small room?"
"It's enough for me to sleep on." Meng Tang said, "The bed in the big room is 1.8 meters long, which is barely enough for you. The bed in the small room is a little smaller, so you can't sleep on it."
It's just right for her to sleep alone.
Wei Chuan couldn't find the words to say, so he just nodded.
Meng Tang pointed to his room and said, "Put your bag in there. I bought some food and I'm going to finish it."
Wei Chuan was very obedient. After throwing his bag into the room, he took his cell phone and went to the living room.
Meng Tang handed him the chopsticks: "I've eaten, you eat by yourself, I have something else to look at."
As she spoke, she sat down opposite Wei Chuan holding the tablet.
Wei Chuan was extremely hungry, but he ate in a very good manner.
He would look at Meng Tang from time to time, and he still couldn't recover from the fact that Meng Tang spent a lot of money to rent a suite.
Why did she ask for a suite?
Given their current relationship, can they live under the same roof?
Wasn't she afraid of what he might do to her? Or did she trust him so much?
But this is too unsafe.
Wei Chuan ate half full and slowed down his movements. He glanced at Meng Tang and said, "Why are you—"
"Wait a minute." Meng Tang interrupted him, "Can you wait until I finish looking at the things?"
"Oh, what are you looking at?" Wei Chuan couldn't help but ask.
"Comparison table of wood moisture content during the Grain Rain season." Meng Tang looked up from his tablet. "You can go take a shower after you finish eating."
Wei Chuan choked.
"I've already showered," Meng Tang said. "After reading this, I'm almost ready for bed."
Wei Chuan muttered, "What's the difference between me coming here and not coming here?"
"What did you say?" Meng Tang put down the tablet.
"No." Wei Chuan stood up and cleaned up the leftovers. "I'll go take out the trash."
It smells when placed in the room.
As soon as he went out, he ran into Li Hanjin. Wei Chuan stopped at the door with the garbage in his hand and took the initiative to ask, "What's going on?"
"You really came?" Li Hanjin sneered, "Come to claim your sovereignty?"
Wei Chuan said with a forced smile: "I'm here to warn you to stay away from other people's girlfriends."
Li Hanjin shrugged. "What should we do? We have to go into the mountains together tomorrow. When we were young, our master always took us into the mountains. At the end of the day, Meng Tang couldn't hold on any longer, so I carried him on my back."
Wei Chuan silently clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction. Several veins stretched from his jawline to his neck.
His skin was pale and looked as if it was about to burst.
Meng Tang heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing that he looked tense, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Chuan restrained his cold expression, transferred the garbage to his other hand, turned to Meng Tang and smiled: "It's okay."
Meng Tang saw Li Hanjin and was surprised that he came so late. He asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Hanjin said, "I'll be heading into the mountains tomorrow to see if you've slept. I also wanted to tell you that Old Chen from the Forestry Bureau just called and said he's leading the team. We'll first take a car to the checkpoint and then hike."
Meng Tang nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'm going to bed soon. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Li Hanjin nodded slightly but didn't move.
Meng Tang looked at Wei Chuan: "I'll go with you?"
"Ah?" Wei Chuan didn't react for a moment and didn't understand what he should accompany him to do.
Meng Tang smiled helplessly: "I'll help you take out the trash, idiot."
"Okay." Wei Chuan regained his smile, his eyes bent to the extreme.
The two walked through a long corridor and threw the garbage into the trash can in front of the elevator.
Wei Chuan followed Meng Tang and turned to walk into the room. When she was about to enter the room, he suddenly took a step forward and raised his hand to block her way.
Meng Tang looked up, his face full of confusion: "What?"
"Let me ask you a question." Wei Chuan stared at her.
Meng Tang: "Well, you ask."
"Why not get two rooms?"
"Aren't there two rooms?" Meng Tang said, "One room for each person to sleep in."
"I mean two rooms, not connected." Wei Chuan explained to her, "The kind I have a room card for."
Meng Tang's face suddenly turned cold. She pushed Wei Chuan's chest and said, "You can stay here if you want."
Wei Chuan was stunned. Is he angry?
"Meng Tang."
"I'm going to sleep, don't call me."
Meng Tang didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he went back to his room and locked the door.
Wei Chuan knocked on the door: "At least tell me why you are angry?"
"Wei Chuan, if you don't want to stay, just go get a room yourself." Meng Tang replied, "It's getting late, I really need to go to bed."
She had to get up early the next morning, so Wei Chuan had no choice but to say "good night" to her.
Meng Tang couldn't sleep, but she managed to restrain herself from reaching for her phone.
I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but when I opened them again, the alarm clock rang.
Meng Tang quickly got up, changed his clothes, tied up his long hair, brushed his teeth and washed his face.
Wei Chuan came out in a daze, rubbing his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you leaving now?"
Meng Tang shuddered, startled by him.
She hung the face towel by the sink, left the bathroom, and asked, "Why are you awake?"
Wei Chuan said, "I'll go out with you for breakfast and take you to the foot of the mountain."
"No need." Meng Tang said, "We always have breakfast together, and the car should be here soon. It's not convenient for you to go."
"Oh." Wei Chuan responded, "Then why were you angry last night?"
After a night, the anger had long since faded. Meng Tang said, "Last night I thought you didn't want to live with me."
Wei Chuan: “…”
He was really wronged and died, he just wanted to sleep in a bed.
But can it? No.
"Then why did you book such a room?" Wei Chuan asked in a different way.
"This is the best suite." Meng Tang took his bag and put his phone in it. "Since you're coming here, can I let you, the young master, stay in another room?"
Wei Chuan was stunned. It turned out that it was just to make him live comfortably.
Meng Tang picked up his coat and put it on, then glanced back at Wei Chuan: "Why are you still standing there? Go back to sleep."
Wei Chuan pulled out the room card: "I'll take you down."
"At least put on a coat." Meng Tang pushed him, "It's cold in the morning."
Wei Chuan had no choice but to go back to his room and get a white windbreaker to put on.
With broad shoulders and long legs, he looked like a clothes hanger. Meng Tang was stunned by his appearance.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Wei Chuan smiled, pinched the back of her neck, and helped her turn around.
"No." Meng Tang retorted softly, "I was just thinking about something."
My boyfriend is so handsome, I was stunned by him. This is too crazy.
When I arrived downstairs of the hotel, I glanced over and saw that Li Hanjin had not arrived yet.
The museum staff who were taking photos saw Meng Tang and greeted him with a smile.
Meng Tang also smiled and greeted everyone, then turned to Wei Chuan and said:
"The car has arrived. You can get on first. I'll be leaving in five minutes at most."
Wei Chuan glanced at Li Hanjin coming out of the hotel, helped Meng Tang straighten his collar, and said:
"I'll pick you up this afternoon, okay?"
"If I don't let you pick it up, then you've come all the way here for nothing." Meng Tang said with a smile, "If you want to pick it up, then pick it up."
Wei Chuan was happy.
When the guide from the Forestry Bureau saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Let's have a meal together first, and then we'll go up the mountain."
Meng Tang waved to Wei Chuan, motioning him to go upstairs.
Half an hour later, Meng Tang arrived at the registration station. After checking the procedures with the Forestry Bureau, several people were released.
The fog in the mountains was like flowing clouds. Meng Tang tightened the collar of his jacket and slowly exhaled a breath of white air.
The guide checked everyone's equipment and said, "Go into the mountains."
The photographer adjusted the camera parameters and walked to the last position.
He wanted to record the collection process as evidence for the restoration archives.
The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and Meng Tang accidentally slipped. Li Hanjin grabbed her arm and asked, "Are you okay?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "It's okay, let's go."
The guide led the way, and the waving of his machete startled the birds in the forest, causing their wings to flutter.
Half an hour later, the Geological Bureau consultant took out a soil sampler and said, "The soil here is very suitable for boxwood growth. The pH value is 6.2 and the water content is 38%, which is ideal."
Meng Tang and the old craftsman looked at each other, took out a chisel from his bag, and gently scraped the bark on the tree trunk.
She invited the old craftsman to look at the color and texture of the wood together and asked, "What do you think?"
The old craftsman narrowed his eyes and said, "The dense growth rings are good, but..."
"But it's still a little short of what we're looking for," Meng Tang added. "Going further in, we need to find wood that's close to the original material of the Guanyin statue in terms of appearance, density, and hardness."
The few of them continued to move forward and rested by the stream at noon.
Meng Tang opened the bag and took out dried tofu and beef jerky. Everyone brought different things, so they shared them and chatted, and time passed quickly.
They only rested for half an hour and then continued on their way.
It was almost two o'clock and Meng Tang was a little tired of walking, so she sat down in a valley sheltered from the wind.
Before she could even catch her breath, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Look over there."
A few people looked back and saw some particularly thick boxwood trees.
The old craftsman stepped forward, stroked the tree with his rough palm, and said, "The cracks in this bark are exactly the same as the old material of the base of the Guanyin statue."
The consultant from the Geological Bureau immediately tested the surrounding soil conditions. Meng Tang took out a magnifying glass and carefully compared it with the sample.
She tapped the trunk, and the dull sound echoed. "The growth rings are evenly spaced, and the wood is dense."
Li Hanjin took the marking tape and handed it to Meng Tang, saying, "This forest has been untouched for at least fifty years."
Meng Tang put the mark on the tree trunk and nodded.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they finally found it.
On the way back, I felt much more relaxed.
Seeing Meng Tang's pale face from exhaustion, Li Hanjin said, "How about I carry you on my back?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "I can, let's go."
It took them another two hours to walk, until the afterglow of the setting sun penetrated every crack, and they finally arrived at the registration station halfway up the mountain.
Meng Tang's phone rang, and he knew it was Wei Chuan without answering it.
She took out her cell phone from her bag as she walked down the mountain.
As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end asked, "Are you back?"
Meng Tang said, "We'll be at the foot of the mountain in half an hour."
"Go slowly." Wei Chuan could tell she was very tired. "I'll go up and pick you up now."
"Stop running back and forth." Meng Tang said, "Just stay down there."
"It's only a half-hour mountain walk. I run very fast."
Having said that, Wei Chuan hung up the phone without giving her a chance to refuse.
