Chapter 146 Secretly Watching the Game
Meng Tang had just laid down on the bed when his cell phone rang.
It was Wei Chuan's exclusive ringtone. Meng Tang's eyes lit up and he pressed the call button: "Hello."
"You picked up so quickly?" Wei Chuan laughed. "Did you miss me?"
Meng Tang snorted: "Why do I miss you? Do I miss you to attract bees and butterflies?"
Wei Chuan calmly begged for mercy, implying something: "I'm so wronged. I just found out about what happened online. Are you angry?"
"You just love to show off. You act cool even when you're just throwing away trash. Who are you showing off to?"
Having never heard Meng Tang speak so enthusiastically before, Wei Chuan suppressed his laughter and coaxed:
"Yes, yes, I like to show off. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please forgive me, okay?"
Meng Tang snorted.
"Haven't you already declared your sovereignty? I'm yours, and no one can take me away. I'm wearing such an obvious scrunchie, and you're just treating me like I'm mentally ill."
Speaking of hair circles, Meng Tang suddenly got a point. She sat up from the bed and asked:
"Why did you take my circle of friends when you left?"
Wei Chuan said, "I saw that when Tian Yu and his friends were dating, they would always wear their girlfriend's hairband, but it was black. Tian Yu's wrists were covered with red marks from the tightness, but he didn't take it off."
Meng Tang thought of Tian Yu's body shape. Wearing the small rubber band was like a big bear wearing a head flower, which was unexpectedly cute.
She laughed and said, "I guess there's another reason."
Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason?"
"To block the peach blossoms." Meng Tang laughed, "Am I right?"
Wei Chuan smiled: "You guessed it right."
The venue for an ordinary match can accommodate nearly three thousand people, most of whom are students.
Many girls come just to see the handsome guys. Every time Wei Chuan has a competition, a bunch of girls ask for his contact information.
He wore Meng Tang's rubber band in order to make those people give up.
Although he can't bring it during the game, he can bring it after the game. When the live camera is on, he will wave and no one will see it.
Meng Tang laughed triumphantly: "I just figured it out as well."
"Smart kid." Wei Chuan said in a low and gentle tone, "What are you doing now?"
"You called me just as I was lying in bed." Meng Tang said, "I thought there would be no news from you for a few days."
Wei Chuan said "hmm": "I only have some time today, and I don't know when we'll contact each other next time."
Meng Tang pursed his lips. The competition on the 22nd officially began and was divided into five stages.
From 32 to 16, then from 16 to 8, then from 8 to 4, then Final Four, and finally the Finals.
Each stage is more difficult than the last, and the entire competition will not be completed until mid-to-late July.
In other words, they only met in person in the finals.
Meng Tang silently calculated the time and found that the Final Four would not be until mid-July at the latest.
"It's okay," Meng Tang said. "Just play your game. I'll be watching the live broadcast. Besides, it's almost finals week, so I don't have much time to think about other things."
Wei Chuan hummed, "What about the museum work? Is it finished?"
Meng Tang said: "It will be over tomorrow."
Wei Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over."
Meng Tang laughed: "Even if it doesn't end, what else can I do with Li Hanjin?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Chuan frowned. "I don't even like you mentioning his name, you mean guy."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore." Meng Tang said, "How much time do you have to make a phone call?"
Wei Chuan said: "Half an hour."
"Then why don't you call your family?" Meng Tang asked.
Wei Chuan: "No, I won't fight anymore. You'll have to come and watch my game later anyway."
Meng Tang was stunned: "When?"
It won't be the finals, right?
Wei Chuan cleared his throat: "Finals."
Meng Tang: “…”
What should I do? I'm sure I'll see him then, right?
Seeing that she was silent, Wei Chuan explained, "I forgot to tell you about this at first. I called you tonight to tell you about this. My parents and my sister are coming over. Are you still coming?"
"Then..." Meng Tang stuttered, "I've already promised you, can I not go?"
Wei Chuan was relieved. "It's okay. Just come with Xie Lingyin. I don't force you to sit together, but we'll definitely see each other after the game. Don't worry, I'm here."
Meng Tang hummed weakly.
Wei Chuan felt a little distressed: "How about I let them watch the live broadcast at home?"
"No, no." Meng Tang quickly stopped him, "What a bad idea."
Wei Chuan smiled and said, "I've already greeted them. I'm just here to watch the game, not to meet their parents."
Meng Tang: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Chuan lowered his voice: "Kiss?"
Meng Tang's ears felt hot: "I'm in the dormitory."
"Then I'll kiss you." Wei Chuan said "bo" into the receiver, "Okay, hang up first."
Meng Tang responded, hung up the phone, and then sat on the bed in a daze.
She hadn't gone to bed yet, and her bed curtains were not drawn. Xie Lingyin noticed this and asked, "What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Meng Tang leaned over the bed, blinked, and said to Xie Lingyin:
"On the day of the final, Wei Chuan's family also went to the scene."
"It's quite normal," Xie Lingyin said. "After all, it's the national finals. It's normal to watch it, right? It's being broadcast live on CCTV."
"What should I do?" Meng Tang said faintly, "Although Wei Chuan said he was only going to watch his game, I will definitely see him. What should I do if I see him?"
Xie Lingyin laughed: "Just greet them normally when you see them. It's not like you're meeting their parents, what are you afraid of?"
Meng Tang sighed: "I'm nervous."
How long has she been dating Wei Chuan?
"It's okay." Xie Lingyin patted her, "I'll be with you then."
Meng Tang was just complaining. Wei Chuan said that his sister would also be there. Thinking of Wei Sijia, Meng Tang felt a little relieved.
After figuring it out, she drew the curtains and went to sleep.
The next day was Saturday, and at ten o'clock in the morning, she went to the museum.
On the last day, the only step left was calendering and waxing, which took less than an hour.
This step was taken by Li Hanjin. Meng Tang did not do anything during the whole process, she just watched.
Afterwards, Meng Tang asked Li Hanjin, "Your skills are still very much alive, so why are you pursuing a commercial approach now?"
Li Hanjin laughed: "Making money."
Meng Tang opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
"Do you think I'm obsessed with money?" Li Hanjin said, "When Master kicked me out, wasn't the most important reason because he was afraid I couldn't give you a good life?"
Meng Tang: "...You are beyond help."
Grandpa might have this intention, but more importantly, she and Li Hanjin are simply not suitable.
The old man has a keen eye and has lived his whole life without misjudging anyone.
Looking back now, it was a foresight to expel him from the sect so early on.
Li Hanjin is too dishonest and a mean person.
Meng Tang said nothing and walked out of the museum with his bag on his back.
Three days later, the national competition kicked off.
Meng Tang rushed into the dormitory with a bunch of food in his hands.
Xie Lingyin quickly took it and asked, "Where are Shi Lan and Yang Ke?"
Meng Tang said, "They went to buy some braised food. How's it going? Have they started yet?"
Xie Lingyin said, "It's almost time. Please sit down first."
They set up a projector in the dormitory, which was obtained by Xu Heqing.
The first game started at 2 pm, with Z University facing Wenlan University of Technology, which was the grassroots championship brought from the north.
As soon as the game started, Shi Lan and the others couldn't stop eating chicken feet, but Meng Tang had no appetite.
Xu Heqing likes to watch the game, and Xie Lingyin has been following him to watch, so she knows more than Meng Tang.
Although Meng Tang understood the rules, he still wanted to find someone to confirm it.
She approached Xie Lingyin and said, "Do you feel that Wenlan University of Technology is very strong?"
Xie Lingyin nodded. "At least she's a grassroots champion, but don't worry. This is just the beginning. The competitions ahead will only get harder."
Meng Tang nodded, picked up his phone, turned around, and took a selfie of himself and the projector.
The game continued to progress, and the two sides fought hard, neither giving in.
However, the overall level of Wenlan University of Technology could not be improved, and Wei Chuan and his teammates had a good understanding of each other. In the second quarter, the score gradually widened.
Meng Tang could only see one person in his eyes. When Wei Chuan dribbled the ball forward, the rhythm of the entire court was in his hands.
Even when moving at high speeds, it maintains incredible balance.
When attacking, it is like a gust of wind; when defending, it is like a net.
His aggressiveness was evident on the court.
"Tsk tsk, he's really handsome." Shi Lan couldn't help but praise him. "I used to shout online, who on earth is dating a man like this? At this moment, I have to proudly admit that it's my sister who is dating."
“…”
Meng Tang smiled and looked at Wei Chuan on the screen again.
He seemed to be on fire when he ran, and the girls at the scene were dazzled and shouted his name frantically.
He also won the game amid such cheers.
Meng Tang laughed, turned around and clinked his milk tea with Xie Lingyin.
This promotion went to No. 26, and Z University made great progress and won all the places.
After that, he advanced smoothly all the way. Meng Tang took photos of himself watching the live broadcast every time, intending to show them to Wei Chuan later.
Half of the time has passed unknowingly, and fewer people in school are paying attention to Cubal because the final exams are coming.
This year, the Z University holiday started early, and all students were on vacation before July.
On the 12th, Z University successfully entered the semi-finals.
As soon as the top four teams were announced, all major media outlets reported on it.
The Final Four will be held in Huacheng, and Meng Tang wants to go there.
She went there secretly alone, not because she didn't trust Wei Chuan to make it to the finals, but because she wanted to see the same scene as last year.
She searched online for the video of Wei Chuan reaching the semi-finals last year, and he was full of energy.
This year, she wanted to stand by his side, even if it was just to watch from the side.
Meng Tang immediately took out his cell phone. This trip to Huacheng was a bit far, so he might have to take a plane.
Tickets will go on sale through official channels tomorrow. Meng Tang was afraid that Wei Chuan would know she was there, so she chose the cheapest ticket to the top of the mountain.
After checking the tickets, she booked a hotel near the stadium where the competition would take place.
Z University lives in the apartment hotel next door, which is specially rented by the school for the players to stay in. During the game, non-professional players and related staff are not allowed to enter.
There is no airport in Yanqing. On the morning of the 15th, Meng Tang took a bus to the airport in another city.
We didn't land in Huacheng until nine o'clock in the evening.
