Chapter 22 Do you like her?
Meng Yuchun leisurely brewed a pot of tea, which was the Pu'er tea given by Wei Chuan.
From 9 to 11 in the morning, the spleen meridian is in season, and raw tea can refresh the mind.
He asked casually, "Boy, you really care about my Xiaotang."
"We are friends. Who would get married right after graduation? Especially since she is a girl. Marriage is so important. Why did you let her be so careless?"
The old man nodded and said "hmm" seriously: "So you think she shouldn't get married and have children?"
"There's no such thing as a should or not to get married and have children, only a desire or not." Wei Chuan said in a slightly harsh tone, "When she told me about it, her tone was as casual as what she was going to eat today. It's obvious that you, old man, have instilled in her the idea of 'going home to have children'."
Meng Yuchun raised his head and laughed out loud, "Marriage and having children are not important. Why did your family give birth to you?"
Wei Chuan frowned and said earnestly, "My birth was indeed my mother's request. I don't dispute that. But you raised your granddaughter so well, just to let her get married and have children?"
Meng Yuchun pondered: "What do your three sisters do?"
"I'm not going to mention it just now. My eldest sister works in a company and will take over my father's job in the future. My second sister is in the army and I haven't seen her for a year. Let alone my third sister, she changed her name and became an artist."
"And you?"
"I play basketball, and I will probably work in a related career in the future." Wei Chuan was caught off guard and confessed everything.
The old man nodded: "Very good."
Wei Chuan quickly interrupted: "No, why are you talking about me again? Aren't we talking about Meng Tang?"
Meng Yuchun said, "She has learned the art, so serving and inheriting it is her duty. This is her fate, and she has accepted it very well. Why are you so anxious?"
"I—" Wei Chuan choked, "I, I'm afraid she'll jump into the fire pit."
Meng Yuchun took a sip of tea and said, "How do you know she committed suicide? My old friend's grandson really likes her and even said that the first child will be named Meng."
Wei Chuan raised his voice: "... Is this what confuses you? After all, you've lived for over seventy years and have seen many ups and downs. How come you can't resist temptation?"
Meng Yuchun glanced at him nonchalantly again: "She also said that you can marry into her family."
Wei Chuan: "...I, I..."
Meng Yuchun looked at him and asked, "Why? You can marry into the family as well?"
"I can do anything." Wei Chuan felt a sense of suffocation in his chest. "Do you know that Meng Tang has someone he likes at school?"
"Well, this tea is good." Meng Yuchun nodded. "You are quite willing to spend money."
Wei Chuan: "...Old man, do you know?"
"I've noticed that it's you who's anxious, the emperor, but not the eunuch," Meng Yuchun said, mocking him. "To put it another way, whether she gets married or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Wei Chuan was completely choked. Yes, what does Meng Tang’s marriage have to do with him?
But Meng Tang likes Xu Heqing, so it has something to do with him, right?
"You sit here, I have to work." The old man drank a cup of tea, put on his long gown and cloth shoes and went to the backyard.
Wei Chuan scratched his head, thinking that he couldn't let Meng Tang be brainwashed. How could he watch his friend enter the grave of marriage?
Which girl gets married at the age of 22?
The only way is to tie her up with Xu Heqing and make her confess.
The power of love is great. Maybe Xu Heqing is willing to marry into the family, or Meng Tang may stay in City Z.
I was worried and had no appetite for lunch. I only ate two bowls of food.
After dinner, he followed Meng Tang to rest under the shade of a tree.
"I've changed my ticket. I'll go straight to the station later."
Meng Tang said "Oh": "Then I won't see you off. Have a safe journey."
"I really wanted to match you and Xu Heqing this time, but I didn't know..." Wei Chuan smiled awkwardly.
Meng Tang shook his head: "It means that he and I are not destined to be together."
"Don't." Wei Chuan said, "You haven't even confessed, how do you know there's no fate?"
"He doesn't know you like him. I think you should take the initiative. To be honest, the three of us were shocked when you blindly identified the wood that day."
"I just don't believe he has nothing in his eyes."
"You are excellent, a level of excellence that even the second-place finisher can never catch up to. There are some things you will never know the outcome of if you don't try."
"Would you please be bolder?"
Meng Tang suspected that Wei Chuan was looking for someone to confess his love to.
She nodded perfunctorily: "I understand."
The phone rang, Wei Chuan glanced at it and said, "The alarm is ringing, I have to go, let's meet at school."
Meng Tang stood up and said, "I'll take you out. Have you called a taxi yet?"
Wei Chuan: “Yes.”
The taxi came quickly. Wei Chuan turned around and waved to Meng Tang in a cool manner: "Go back."
Meng Tang waited for the taxi to turn the corner before turning into the alley.
Her hand was still injured, so she couldn't do any work and went to the study to read.
I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the study door.
Meng Tang looked up at the clock. Two hours had passed. She looked towards the door and said, "Come in."
Sister Fang came into the room and handed her something in her hand: "Xiaotang, Xiaowei's campus card was left behind."
"Hmm?" Meng Tang turned it over, "It really is his."
He must be home by now, right?
Meng Tang put the campus card on the table, took a photo and sent it over.
As Wei Chuan was leaving the station, a black G-Class blocked his way.
Wei Chuan got on the passenger seat and said with a smile, "Quite punctual."
"Where the hell were you? You didn't answer the phone. I asked your third sister, but she didn't know either. Finally, I went to your house and told her you were out playing with your classmates. Do you remember that yesterday was my birthday?"
The person who spoke was Qin Yuan, Wei Chuan's childhood friend.
Wei Chuan: "I passed it to you on time, I gave you the sneakers a long time ago."
"Who cares? Tell me, where have you been? Did you secretly get out of being single without telling your friends?"
Wei Chuan said, "Yan Qing."
"Yanqing? What place is that?" Qin Yuan looked confused.
"I told you to read more books." Wei Chuan said venomously, "This is the hometown of woodcarving, and there are only illiterates."
"Wood carving?"
The phone rang suddenly. Wei Chuan didn't answer Qin Yuan's words, but answered Meng Tang's call: "Hello."
"Wei Chuan, you left your campus card behind. I sent you a message but you didn't reply."
He said he would return to school for training tomorrow, and Meng Tang made the call because he was afraid he would need to use his card.
Wei Chuan rummaged through his bag and found his campus card missing. He said, "I really lost it. Please keep it for me."
Meng Tang: "I'll keep it? Don't you need it tomorrow?"
Wei Chuan: "It's okay, I'll clean other people's food first, and then I'll go home and sleep at night."
Meng Tang: "Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back."
Wei Chuan laughed: "I thought you called to ask if I had arrived home."
Meng Tang asked casually, "Have you arrived yet?"
"Just got out of the station," Wei Chuan said, "My friend came to pick me up."
Meng Tang said "Oh".
Wei Chuan knew that she had nothing to say, so he took the initiative to say "see you at school" and hung up the phone.
Qin Yuan gossiped: "Who is it?"
Wei Chuan: "Classmate."
"From your school?"
"Yes, from the Academy of Fine Arts."
Wei Chuan held his phone sideways and started playing games, chatting with Qin Yuan intermittently.
"Which department are you from?"
"Department of Sculpture."
"What's your name?"
"Meng Tang."
"Do you like her?"
“…”
The car was silent for a full ten seconds, and Wei Chuan was killed in the game.
He turned his head and asked Qin Yuan: "What did you say just now?"
