Chapter 139: Searching for Love in the Dark Playground
Wei Chuan was looking for Meng Tang in the playground when he was spotted by everyone in the playground, who took photos and posted them on their Moments.
Originally, everyone was just having fun and adding some gossip and jokes to the peaceful campus, but someone connected the dots and made a video.
Then it circulated wildly in various groups and friend circles of Z University.
Meng Tang really admired the editing technique, which completely reproduced Wei Chuan's trajectory of searching for her in the playground like a headless fly.
What makes people laugh even more is the title copy, which is full of all kinds of drama -
"Looking for love on the playground at night: See the love life of the sports school idol Wei Chuan after training."
"Looking for a wife in the dark."
"Even the male lead in an idol drama can't match his looks, but he ended up being the most misleading actor on the playground."
"Baby, where are you? It's going to be a great show tonight at 10 o'clock!"
A lovestruck man desperately searches for his girlfriend and asks Z-san: "WTF! Where's the light?"
"The cute girl from the art school and the handsome guy from the sports school are playing hide-and-seek."
"If anyone sees my girlfriend, squeak! Squeak, squeak!"
“Meng Tang!!!”
"Who has seen Meng Tang?"
"Where is my wife, who is so old?"
Meng Tang was numb, numb from brain stem loss.
She hugged the railing of the bed, covered her face with shame, and let out a wail of despair.
Who is this talented person?
"Hahaha……"
Xie Lingyin was laughing so hard that she was falling over, and Shi Lan and Yang Ke were no exception.
"Fuck, I'm dying of laughter." Shi Lan slapped his face, "My mouth is sore and I can't close it."
Yang Ke asked Meng Tang with a smile: "The lights in the playground are broken today?"
Meng Tang hummed, "Who did this?"
"Why do you care who did it?" Xie Lingyin said, "Everyone is quite happy. They are all thankful for this boring night and thankful for Wei Chuan."
Shi Lan: "Why is he so stupid?"
Meng Tang: "...My phone is out of battery. I didn't do that on purpose."
"It's really funny," Yang Ke said. "I watched the video several times."
Meng Tang: “…”
Will she get kicked in the face while walking tomorrow?
I have to say, her intuition was right.
When I went to class the next day, everyone who saw her would give her a meaningful smile.
When she entered the classroom, the whole class stood close together and said in unison: "If anyone has seen my girlfriend, please give me a shout..."
Meng Tang: “…”
Thank you, she is dead.
She clasped her hands together and begged for mercy: "Please let me go..."
She looked so rare that everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, the teacher entered the classroom, saw Meng Tang at the door, and said:
"Did your boyfriend find you last night?"
The whole class laughed again. Meng Tang gave the teacher a dry laugh and said, "I found it."
Teacher: "That's fine. I was halfway through watching the video when my child suddenly felt unwell and went to the hospital. I was busy all night, and seeing you reminded me of you. But didn't he bring his phone?"
Meng Tang said: "My phone is out of battery."
"Is that so? Okay, go back to your seat first. Class is about to start."
Meng Tang's side was over, and Wei Chuan faced another wave of social failure.
When Tian Yu played the video publicly in the team, Wei Chuan grabbed his neck from behind.
Tian Yu threw away his phone, grabbed Wei Chuan's arm and begged for mercy: "Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan, please show mercy."
"If you hadn't charged me up last night, would I have such a funny story today?"
Tian Yu: "If you think about it this way, it's a very special memory. You and Meng Tang will smile knowingly when you think about it in the future."
"I even smiled knowingly." Wei Chuan patted his head, "They were all right on his face and wide open."
I don’t know if Meng Tang has seen this video.
But actually the editing is quite interesting, what a talented person.
Wei Chuan took advantage of the break to send a message to Meng Tang.
Meng Tang saw it after class.
She replied to Wei Chuan: [I saw it last night. It was actually quite interesting. I just got teased by my classmates when I came to class this morning.]
Wei Chuan didn't reply, and Meng Tang didn't wait stubbornly.
There were no classes in the afternoon, but they worked on their professional course assignments in groups of four, so she and her group members stayed in the sculpture studio.
At this moment, an uninvited guest came outside the school gate.
Li Hanjin came to find Meng Tang. Just as he parked the car, he received a call.
He immediately returned to the car and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'll go to the hospital right away."
When Li Hanjin rushed to the hospital, Meng Huaizhang was running around in confusion.
Meng Huaizhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Hanjin.
"Uncle Zhang, what happened to Master?"
Meng Huaizhang wiped his face and said, "I suddenly fainted this morning. I was sent to the hospital but nothing was found. I was transferred here directly. I wanted to inform Meng Tang, but I was afraid she would worry, so I wanted to tell her after the test results came out."
"But I left in a hurry and didn't bring enough money, so I had to trouble you to come over."
He did not link any mobile payment methods, and always carried cash with him when he went out in Yanqing.
Li Hanjin immediately said, "Uncle Zhang, it's okay. I'm here. Come on, I'll go with you."
Soon, the examination results came out, and the chief physician of neurosurgery pointed to the MRI film and told Meng Huaizhang:
"Chronic subdural hematoma. Has the old man suffered a head injury in the past few months?"
Meng Huaizhang was a little confused: "I haven't heard of it."
Li Hanjin quickly responded, "Doctor, my master is a woodcarver. He might have bumped into something like a wooden frame. He didn't feel anything at the time, so he probably didn't say anything."
"Okay, now it's a ruptured blood vessel. Blood has slowly seeped out and formed a hematoma."
"If the old man has symptoms such as dizziness and weakness recently, it is caused by this reason."
Meng Huaizhang asked: "Do we need surgery now?"
The doctor nodded and said, "If left untreated, the hematoma will continue to compress the brain, potentially leading to more severe limb weakness or even coma."
Meng Huaizhang: "Surgery... is it risky? After all, he's so old."
Doctor: "Any surgery has risks, but this one is minimally invasive. We drill a small hole in the skull under local anesthesia to drain the blood."
"The operation is also very quick, taking about half an hour, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital after three to five days of observation."
Li Hanjin asked, "Why didn't you find out about it when you were in Yanqing?"
Doctor: "Regular CT scans are prone to miss diagnoses."
"Okay, we got it."
Meng Huaizhang and Li Hanjin retreated to the corridor and took out their cell phones to call Meng Tang.
Li Hanjin stopped him and said, "Uncle Zhang, notifying Meng Tang won't solve any problems, and it will only make her worry."
Meng Huaizhang said: "Her grandfather has surgery, so she must be informed, otherwise she will be angry."
Li Hanjin soothed her, "I know, but you can wait until after the operation to notify her to come to the hospital."
Meng Huaizhang was persuaded: "That's fine, then let the doctor prepare for the operation?"
Li Hanjin said with a slightly heavy expression, "Master is old. Although the operation is minor, it is risky. I still need to find a reliable doctor. However, I have just arrived in Z City and don't have any connections in this area."
Meng Huaizhang looked at Li Hanjin and asked, "Are you saying that doctors nowadays are unreliable?"
Li Hanjin: "That's not my intention. I just think it's better to get to know people. After all, there are many cases of hospitals cheating people. There are several news reports every year."
Meng Huaizhang was easily persuaded, but then became embarrassed: "Where can I find connections?"
"There's something I'm not sure whether I should say." Li Hanjin's eyes turned away.
Meng Huaizhang: "Just what you said."
Li Hanjin: "Junior sister has a boyfriend. His family is very influential in the local area. Finding a good doctor is a piece of cake."
Meng Huaizhang frowned, obviously thinking.

In the middle of the night, Wei Lifeng returned home, untied his tie and sat at the end of the bed for a long time without moving.
Chu Yin woke up slowly and scolded him for sitting there and scaring people.
Wei Lifeng glanced at her and said, "Meng Tang's grandfather has a minor operation tomorrow. Do you want to go and see him?"
Chu Yin suddenly woke up: "How did you know?"
Wei Lifeng said: "Her father came to the company to find me, hoping to find a doctor to perform the surgery. It was not a small matter, so I agreed."
Chu Yin was a little confused: "I went to the company to find you?"
Wei Lifeng was also a little embarrassed: "It's okay, after all, it's surgery, and it's not intentional offense."
"Her father is in his forties, but he still acts so rashly." Chu Yin felt a little uncomfortable.
We just started dating and he came over.
Wei Lifeng tutted, "Don't say that. It'll make things awkward. Just say whether you're going or not."
"How can we go there?" Chu Yin rolled her eyes at him. "They've only been dating for a few days. It's inappropriate pressure for us to go and see them. If Meng Tang and Xiao Chuan had been dating for half a year, we would definitely go and see them."
Wei Lifeng also meant the same thing, the timing was not right.
"But now that we know, it wouldn't be good not to go."
"This is just putting people on a pedestal." Chu Yin waved her hand. "Go take a shower first. I'll take care of this. By the way, what's wrong with Meng Tang's grandfather?"
Wei Lifeng told his wife what he had learned. Chu Yin was stunned for a long time and said:
"For such a minor operation, he rashly went to your company and even asked Chen Fei, a master in the industry, to do it. What's the difference between this and calling a Michelin chef and asking him to cook instant noodles? And he even owed Chen Fei a favor for nothing."
Wei Lifeng stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You can handle this matter."
Chu Yin rubbed her brows helplessly and called Wei Sijia in the middle of the night.
It was already late when Meng Tang returned to the dormitory, but his roommates were still awake.
When Xie Lingyin saw her, she said, "Come back earlier next time. Have you forgotten what happened at the artificial lake?"
Meng Tang explained, "I was doing a group project for my major class. I was halfway through welding and couldn't leave. I didn't even have dinner. I've been working on it for several hours."
"You haven't had dinner yet?" Xie Lingyin pulled out a box of snacks. "Take whatever you want."
Meng Tang shook his head: "I don't want to eat. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
I'm so tired, my shoulders are sore.
After taking a shower and climbing into bed, Meng Tang picked up his cell phone, but there was no message from Wei Chuan.
She smiled and sent him a message: [Good night.]
Wei Chuan relies on these two words to fall asleep every day.
The next morning, there was another half-day class.
As Meng Tang just left the classroom, he received a call from Meng Huaizhang.
After being stunned for several seconds, she suddenly picked up her bag and ran towards the north gate.
A black Bentley slowly drove up from the side of the road and honked its horn.
The rear window rolled down, revealing Wei Sijia's beautiful face.
Meng Tang was stunned. Wei Sijia smiled at her and said, "I was passing by and saw you in a hurry. Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Meng Tang didn't know what to call him for a moment, so he said, "I'm going to the hospital. I won't delay your business."
"It's okay, I'm going home, come up."
The driver opened the car door, and Meng Tang hurriedly said, "I can do it myself."
After getting in the car, Meng Tang said, "Excuse me, let's go to the First People's Hospital."
Wei Sijia laughed and said, "Follow Wei Chuan and call me Big Sister. If you feel embarrassed, you can call me Sister Jiajia."
"Sister Jiajia." Meng Tang breathed a sigh of relief at her friendly attitude.
Arriving at the hospital, Wei Sijia and Meng Tang got out of the car together. Meng Tang hurriedly stopped them:
"Sister Jiajia, I can go up by myself. My grandpa has already left the operating room."
Wei Sijia said, "Since we're here, it wouldn't be nice not to go up."
"Please stay." Meng Tang said, "I heard from my family that it's just a minor operation. Thank you Sister Jiajia for sending me here today."
Wei Sijia nodded: "Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."
Meng Tang said goodbye to her and turned to go into the inpatient department.
