Chapter 144 The Heartless Man Who Disappeared for Ten Days
Wei Chuan had just finished training and called Meng Tang during the break of physical therapy.
He held up his tired body and asked Meng Tang in a dull tone, "What are you doing?"
Meng Tang huddled his legs together, slumped back in his chair, and replied, "I just took a shower and was looking at Cubal's official website."
Wei Chuan asked, "What's so good about this?"
Meng Tang said, "Just check the schedule. How come you have time to call me?"
"Why do you sound so sad?" Wei Chuan regained some of his vivacity. "Did you miss me?"
"No." Meng Tang said, but his heart was not in agreement. "You sound very tired."
"Yeah." Wei Chuan replied with a look of despair. "They really pushed us to death today. It was mainly because the players made mistakes and we were all punished."
Meng Tang: "Are you guys done yet?"
Wei Chuan: "It's over. I'll go take a shower and go to bed later."
Meng Tang glanced at the time and said, "It's not too late, you should go to bed."
"Wait a minute." Wei Chuan stopped her from hanging up. "Aren't we going to Hong Kong in July? That's the peak season. Send me your relevant documents now. I'll have someone buy the tickets, including some good hotels. We have to reserve rooms in advance."
"Uh..." Meng Tang paused, "What type of room do you want to book?"
Wei Chuan didn't think twice: "Suite."
Meng Tang breathed a sigh of relief. The suite was great, with more than one bedroom.
"Okay, I'll send it to you now."
"Okay, don't sleep too late, good night."
"Well, good night."
Meng Tang hung up the phone and sent all his ID information.
Shi Lan and Yang Ke entered the dormitory from outside, noisily knocking on the door.
Meng Tang subconsciously glanced over and saw that their expressions were not right. He asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
Shi Lan threw her bag on the table and asked Meng Tang, "Have you ever ridden in a red sports car before?"
"Yeah." Meng Tang looked confused. "Qin Yuan. On the day my grandpa was discharged from the hospital, Wei Chuan was busy, so I asked him to send my grandpa off. Later, he took the opportunity to send me back."
"Fuck." Shi Lan cursed. "The little green tea girl from the Oil Painting Class 3 upstairs said you were doing nothing behind Wei Chuan's back, and Yang Ke and I caught you and gave you a good scolding."
"Who is it?" Xie Lingyin frowned. "Shu Siwen?"
Yang Ke: "Yes, she was also Wei Chuan's fan girl."
Meng Tang had no expression on his face, he just asked Shi Lan: "Where does she live?"
Shi Lan: "501."
Meng Tang nodded and walked out.
Xie Lingyin was stunned and chased after him. Shi Lan and Yang Ke looked at each other and saw disbelief in their eyes.
Is this still Mu Tou Tang? Why does he look like he's ready for a fight?
"What are you standing there for? Chase after him."
"Let's go, let's go."
Meng Tang climbed up to the fifth floor and knocked on the door of 501.
Someone inside responded, "Come in."
Meng Tang pushed open the door and the four girls inside were stunned.
Meng Tang glanced at their faces and asked, "Who is Shu Siwen?"
The three girls subconsciously looked towards the innermost table.
Shu Siwen stood up and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
His expression was calm and his tone was natural, obviously he knew Meng Tang.
Without any greetings, Meng Tang asked her directly: "Where did you hear that I was not doing anything serious behind Wei Chuan's back?"
The expressions of Shu Siwen's roommates all changed, and they became in a state of watching melons.
Shu Siwen didn't say anything, feeling a little uneasy.
"I'm not here to pick a fight with you. Just tell me who told you this, or did you see it with your own eyes?"
Meng Tang's tone was very calm, and he didn't look like he was here to argue.
Shu Siwen still had a wary look in his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Meng Tang looked at her and said, "Because I want to clarify everything one by one."
Xie Lingyin frowned. "How can you prove it yourself? And why are you going to clarify everything one by one?"
"Because if Wei Chuan saw it, he would definitely be angry." Meng Tang said, "The game is about to start, and I don't want anything to affect him."
Shu Siwen immediately said, "I also heard it from other people in the class. This matter has been circulating for a while."
She didn't dare delay Wei Chuan's game. After the investigation, she would also be punished.
Meng Tang: “…”
She should be thankful that the news didn't reach the sports school.
She glanced at Shu Siwen coldly and said, "The person who sent me back was Wei Chuan's friend. Wei Chuan asked him to send me back to school."
"Seeing it with your own eyes doesn't make it true. Be careful what you say next time."
"If you continue to slander and spread rumors indiscriminately, I will never let it go."
Shu Siwen was stunned by her. They were all from the Academy of Fine Arts, but she had not forgotten that this girl had taken away two boys who bullied her.
What's more, she has some relationship with the dean Chen Xunli.
Shu Siwen was just talking big tonight. Meng Tang had come to her door, so how could she dare to go against him?
"I know. I'm sorry."
"Well, now go find the person in your class who said this and clarify the matter, then work your way up one level at a time."
"You can handle this matter yourself. Anyway, if there are any more rumors, I will blame you."
Shu Siwen smiled awkwardly: "I'll go?"
Still want to trace the origin?
"Do you think I should go?" Meng Tang looked at her. "It's not me who is making up stories."
Shu Siwen gritted his teeth, but had to endure it: "Okay, I'll go."
He's so unlucky! Looking at Meng Tang's expression, those rumors are probably false.
Seeing that her attitude was acceptable, Meng Tang turned around and left 501.
Shi Lan quickly followed and praised: "You are awesome, you just come to the door and kiss my face."
Meng Tang was helpless: "I'm really afraid that Wei Chuan will see it."
He usually seems to have a good temper, but when he really gets angry, Meng Tang can't guarantee that he can hold him back.
Xie Lingyin pulled Shi Lan away and said, "It's okay. It was a long time ago that Qin Yuan sent you back. Judging from Shu Siwen's behavior, not many people would believe this. Wei Chuan is busy training all day and doesn't even have time to send a message. What could he know?"
Meng Tang responded: "That's the only way to think about it."
After two days, there was no trace of the rumors about her, and Meng Tang was completely relieved.
She fiddled with her phone boredly, and from time to time she would click into the chat box with Wei Chuan.
Suddenly, a new update popped up on the official Cubal short video account.
I clicked in and saw the schedule for the 32 to 16 rounds.
The schedule for the 20th CUBAL League Division I Men's Round of 32 has been officially announced! The action kicks off on June 22nd!
"The schedule is out." Meng Tang turned to Xie Lingyin and said, "Starting on the 22nd, there are four competition zones: Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Xiamen. I wonder which city Wei Chuan will be assigned to."
Xie Lingyin said, "I heard from Xu Heqing that the top eight teams from the previous tournament will be seeded and spread across four divisions. The remaining 24 teams will be drawn in tiers based on their divisional results, and teams from the same division will be avoided as much as possible."
Meng Tang took a pen and drew circles on the white paper.
The principle of the draw is to disperse the seeded teams and avoid teams in the same zone. There are eight teams in each city, and the top four advance to the round of 16.
This avoids the risk of a strong confrontation in advance.
If the organizing committee directly assigns him, Wei Chuan will most likely go to Seoul.
There is no need to think about the two strong teams in the capital, one is in Beijing and the other is in Shanghai, and the vast majority in the south will naturally be Xiamen.
If the allocation method is not a lottery, the Z University men's basketball team will definitely go to Seoul.
Meng Tang really guessed it right. A week later, the seed teams would be directly assigned.
After all, we also have to consider the impact of regional differences on players' bodies.
After the schedule was announced, Wei Chuan completely lost contact.
Meng Tang has been a little absent-minded these two days, wondering if Wei Chuan has already gone to Seoul?
But this is too early, usually three to five days in advance.
Xie Lingyin and the other two pushed open the dormitory door and slowly exhaled, "It's scorching hot outside. It's cooler in the dormitory."
Meng Tang said "hmm" absentmindedly.
Xie Lingyin placed the desserts she had bought on her desk and said with a smile, "I feel bitter, so I'll have something sweet."
Meng Tang sighed: "I feel like being in a relationship isn't like me anymore."
I started to become anxious and worried, and occasionally I would even show some melancholy in a literary way.
I no longer have the calm and composed attitude I used to have.
Wei Chuan was simply sent by God to torture her.
Meng Tang opened the red velvet cake, took a big bite and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xie Lingyin found it amusing: "I'm just so depressed."
"Ten days." Meng Tang folded his fingers together. "What the hell was I trying to be cool about? I told Wei Chuan that you don't have to worry about me. The competition is more important."
Xie Lingyin was thoroughly amused: "But if I give you another chance, you'll still say that."
"Even if he was standing in front of me now, I would still say the same thing." Meng Tang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She didn't blame Wei Chuan, but just lamented that no one in love could be purely rational.
I could only grunt and eat the cake, turning my depression into appetite.
After eating, Meng Tang wiped his hands with a wet tissue.
The cell phone buzzed, Meng Tang glanced down and was stunned.
"Hey." Xie Lingyin saw the caller ID and jokingly said, "Isn't this your heartless lover who disappeared for ten days?"
Meng Tang hushed her and said, "I need to take a call."
As soon as the call was connected, an anxious gasp came from the other end: "Come down, I'm downstairs."
Meng Tang was stunned for two seconds, then ran out holding his phone.
Xie Lingyin waved to Shi Lan and Yang Ke, "Wei Chuan must be downstairs. Let's go to the balcony and take a look."
Then she pushed open the balcony door and waited quietly while holding onto the railing.
After a while, Meng Tang ran out: "Wei Chuan."
Wei Chuan simply opened his arms, hugged her tightly, picked her up with all his strength and swung her around twice.
Shi Lan and Yang Ke grabbed each other and cried, "So sweet..."
Wei Chuan held Meng Tang tightly and laughed foolishly several times: "I miss you so much, this is such a damn torture."
Meng Tang laughed and said, "Put me down."
Wei Chuan let go of her and asked, "Do you miss me?"
Meng Tang nodded: "I do."
The word "soft" made Wei Chuan unable to bear it anymore. He put one hand around the back of her neck and the other hand on Meng Tang's chin, and took advantage of the night to kiss her.
Xie Lingyin covered Shi Lan's mouth with her hand and said, "Don't make any noise. Let's go."
I don’t know how long they kissed, but when Meng Tang was released, he felt like he was drunk.
Wei Chuan chuckled: "After so many kisses, why are you still short of breath?"
Meng Tang clenched his fist and punched him in the stomach: "Why are you here?"
Wei Chuan rubbed her head and said, "Let's go to Seoul tomorrow."
Meng Tang was stunned: "So fast?"
Wei Chuan explained: "We will acclimate to the climate and familiarize ourselves with the venue in advance, and then we will go there for a week of training and tactical planning."
Meng Tang stepped forward and hugged his waist: "I understand."
Wei Chuan kissed her forehead and said, "You must watch the live broadcast."
"knew."
Wei Chuan squeezed Meng Tang's waist tightly and said reluctantly, "I'm leaving."
Meng Tang was surprised: "So fast?"
Wei Chuan: "No way."
Meng Tang snorted but didn't let go.
