Chapter 143 We Can Only Have Happy Endings
Meng Tang herself didn't expect that she and Wei Chuan would start such a profound topic right after they started dating.
The two found an outdoor seat on the path beside the artificial lake and sat down next to each other.
Meng Tang glanced at Wei Chuan and said, "Do you know why I must go back to Yanqing?"
"Inheritance?" Wei Chuan turned his head and met her gaze.
Meng Tang shook his head. "Inheritance can be done anywhere. Look at Li Hanjin. I won't judge him as a person, but he has indeed been promoting boxwood carving over the years."
"The first reason I went back was because of my grandfather. He's old, and I definitely want to be by his side and fulfill my filial duty."
"Do you know that in the past, when a craftsman took in an apprentice, he had to take care of everything himself, including food, clothing, and daily life?"
Meng Yuchun is both her grandfather and her master, so she must shoulder this responsibility. If she leaves Yanqing, Meng Tang will not be able to fulfill her responsibilities as a granddaughter and a disciple, and Meng Yuchun will not leave Yanqing either.
Wei Chuan had a bad feeling and subconsciously grabbed her hand and put it on his leg.
"What's the second reason?" he probed cautiously.
"The second reason is the identity binding of intangible cultural heritage inheritors. The policy stipulates that inheritors must live in the place where they apply, otherwise their subsidies and qualifications will be cancelled."
"Plus, wood is very specific to the area. Yanqing is the birthplace of boxwood carving, and it has regional characteristics for the inheritance of skills. The average annual humidity is also ideal for storing wood. Every time I bring wood from home to school, it is treated. Otherwise, it will crack in three days."
This is why she can't leave Yan Qing.
She had never thought of finding someone from another place before. She had a good impression of Xu Heqing at the beginning, but it was just a little bit of good impression.
But Wei Chuan was a completely different person to her.
Wei Chuan asked, "So you're saying this just to tell me that you stayed in Yanqing after graduation?"
"Yeah." Meng Tang nodded. "You just mentioned getting married after graduation, and I suddenly don't know how to reply to you."
"You still have two years until graduation." Wei Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. "You're thinking so far ahead. It scared me."
Meng Tang: "But time flies. If we talk about this topic later, it might end in tragedy."
"We can only have a happy ending." Wei Chuan said, "We will never have a happy ending."
Meng Tang was amused by him: "What if we get married after graduation and live in two different places? It's not good to keep doing this."
She knew it was a bit early to think about these things now, but deliberately avoiding them usually had no good results.
Wei Chuan: "It's only a two-hour high-speed rail ride, what's so far? At worst, I can marry into your family."
"Ah?" Meng Tang hadn't expected the situation to go so wrong. "You're marrying into the family?"
Wei Chuan snorted and laughed: "Not welcome? I really like your yard, and..."
"Anything else?" Meng Tang took over his words but hesitated.
Wei Chuan leaned over, slightly passing Meng Tang, and whispered in her ear:
"I haven't been to your boudoir yet. I want to press you down and kiss you under the window with the crabapple tree."
After saying that, he immediately sat up straight, raised one hand and made a defensive posture.
With a "slap", Meng Tang slapped his hard arm.
The other person's arm didn't hurt at all, but she hissed and hurt her wrist.
Wei Chuan regretted hiding and held her wrist and rubbed it.
Meng Tang pointed his other hand at him: "Is this all you think about?"
Wei Chuan stared at her for a while and said, "More than that."
Meng Tang pondered it for a while, then realized it. He pulled his hand away, turned around and ignored him.
In fact, the tip of my ear was almost bleeding.
Wei Chuan moved the chair towards her, put his long arm around the back of the chair behind her and gently supported it.
"I won't hide next time." Wei Chuan tentatively touched Meng Tang's arm again, "Does it still hurt?"
Meng Tang shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Wei Chuan held Meng Tang's shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed his chin against her head.
"Even if I get married in the future, I won't be able to live with my parents. I have my own house and some assets. They can't interfere with me."
"As for you, you can live anywhere in the country, no, all over the world. We just need to go back to see them on time."
There are no messy rules in their family. His eldest sister has not married yet, and his parents have never said a word.
Wei Silin is a soldier, Wei Siyuan is an actor, and he plays basketball. Everyone is doing what they love.
Meng Tang looked up and asked him, "Do you still have assets?"
Wei Chuan hummed, "I used my own money, but it wasn't earned by me. It came from two deceased people, my grandfather and my maternal grandfather."
Meng Tang gently bumped his shoulder and said, "No wonder you can always do whatever you want."
"So don't be afraid of anything, just do your thing, I'm behind you." Wei Chuan hooked Meng Tang's chin and lowered his eyes to meet hers.
After a moment, Meng Tang nudged him with his head, then snuggled into his arms and didn't move for a long time.
Wei Chuan lowered his head and touched Meng Tang's forehead with his lips: "It's getting late, I'll take you back to the dormitory."
Meng Tang didn't move, and stretched out his voice infinitely: "I don't want to move."
"Are you tired?" Wei Chuan asked.
Meng Tang nodded: "I'm tired."
Wei Chuan laughed, put his arm around her back and sat her down, saying, "Then I'll carry you."
"Isn't it bad?" Meng Tang was a little hesitant.
Wei Chuan squatted beside the chair and patted his shoulder: "Hurry up."
Meng Tang lay on his back and asked, "Is it heavy?"
"It's not heavy." Wei Chuan weighed her. "Carrying you like this reminds me of the time I accompanied you to Minzhou. It makes me regretful every time I think about it!"
"What's there to regret?" Meng Tang was amused by his mischievous tone. "Didn't you go in the end?"
"If I had known that you kissed me because you thought of me as your boyfriend, would I have endured so much pain and lost so much happiness?"
Meng Tang pounded his shoulder and said, "Stop joking and leave."
Wei Chuan smiled and quickened his pace.
Meng Tang leaned on his shoulder and hummed softly, blaming herself for being so stupid and thinking that a kiss meant they were together.
Now it seems that Wei Chuan was just being a hooligan.
When they were still about a hundred meters away from the dormitory building, Meng Tang patted Wei Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Put me down. There are people ahead."
Wei Chuan put her down and asked as they walked: "When the old man is discharged from the hospital, let me know and I will drive them to the high-speed rail station."
"Why do you always call me old man?" Meng Tang was simply curious.
Wei Chuan immediately admitted his mistake: "Then I'll call you grandpa next time."
Meng Tang: “…”
When they got downstairs, he pinched Meng Tang's chin and said, "Go ahead. I'll leave after you go in."
Meng Tang waved to him and said goodbye.
After all, Meng Yuchun was old, so he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital after staying there for five days.
The high-speed rail was crowded and they had to go through security, so Meng Tang planned to call a car to take them back.
As soon as I took out my cell phone, a black business car stopped in front of me.
Meng Tang was stunned: "Qin Yuan? Why are you here?"
"I'm asked to do this." Qin Yuan smiled. "Wei Chuan can't come, so I asked the driver to take him there. I specially called a business car so he can sit more comfortably."
Meng Tang curled his lips: "Thank you."
Qin Yuan: "Why are you being polite? Wei Chuan and I are brothers. It's just a matter of a word."
Meng Tang introduced Qin Yuan to Meng Yuchun and Meng Huaizhang. The two greeted each other and Meng Yuchun was helped into the car by the driver.
Meng Yuchun waved to Meng Tang and left.
After standing there for half a minute, Qin Yuan said, "Let's go. I'll take you back to school."
Meng Tang: "No, thank you, I'll go back myself."
Qin Yuan raised his chin behind her and said, "I drove here too. Chuanzi asked me to take you home."
Meng Tang was stunned when he saw the bright red sports car, but it was quite consistent with Qin Yuan's temperament.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."
Meng Tang chuckled: "I'd better take the subway."
"That won't do." Qin Yuan opened the car door for her. "I promised my brother, let's go."
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Meng Tang had no choice but to get in the car.
There were a lot of cars along the way, and Qin Yuan drove very well, but he talked too much. However, this also has its advantages, as it avoids awkwardness.
When Meng Tang returned to school, he attracted 120% of the attention because of Qin Yuan's flashy car.
Qin Yuan took a photo of her back and sent it to Wei Chuan: [Your wife has sent you back.]
Wei Chuan was taking a break and replied: [Delete her photo from your album and take a screenshot for me.]
Qin Yuan: [Fuck, I really admire you.]
He also had a backup camera, which he used to directly shoot dynamic videos and even recorded the "recently deleted" part.
Wei Chuan was satisfied: [Please leave. I'm going to train.]
Qin Yuan wished he had never been there, and stepped on the accelerator and left Z University.
In the next ten days, Meng Tang only received a few brief messages from Wei Chuan at noon.
Meng Tang hung the towel on the balcony, turned on the computer, and entered Cubal's official website.
According to the time calculation, the schedule is almost out. There has been no information about Wei Chuan in recent days, so he must have increased his training.
Xie Lingyin returned to the dormitory and saw her typing away on the keyboard. She walked over curiously and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Meng Tang said, "I'll see if the Cubal schedule is out."
"It should be soon," Xie Lingyin said. "I heard Xu Heqing mention it today. It should be in the next two days. What's going on? Did Wei Chuan have extra training?"
Meng Tang nodded: "It should be. It's been more than ten days, and there are only one or two messages."
Xie Lingyin thought she was disappointed and consoled her, "The competition is important. You still have to persevere for a while."
Meng Tang sighed: "The competition will probably start in mid to late June, so we might not even be able to see him during summer vacation."
Xie Lingyin patted her on the shoulder and said, "A little separation in July is like a new marriage. Take it easy."
Meng Tang subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by take it easy?"
"What else can you say? Take it easy." Xie Lingyin smiled ambiguously. "Aren't you two going to Hong Kong after the competition? You won't be staying in the same room. Since you're staying in the same room, what do you think will happen?"
Meng Tang choked: "No way?"
"Why not? You two had been dating for two months at that time."
Meng Tang hooked her finger at Xie Lingyin. Xie Lingyin leaned over, and she whispered, "What's that?"
"You and Xu Heqing... ahem, just two or two months... that thing?"
Xie Lingyin sneered, "I broke up with him two months ago."
Meng Tang: "...then you say this here."
"I'm not just imagining things," Xie Lingyin said with a meaningful smile. "Think about it. Victoria Harbour is a dazzling, flowing painting. You lie down on the big bed in the hotel and take in the beautiful scenery. It's come to this. How could he not have some thoughts?"
Meng Tang blinked and was stunned.
The phone on the table rang. Meng Tang finally came to his senses and was startled to see that the caller ID was Wei Chuan.
Xie Lingyin laughed and said, "Just answer it."
I was a little hesitant to answer it.
Meng Tang hesitated for a long time, cleared his throat, and picked up the phone before he hung up: "Hello."
