Chapter 27 The Clothes Belong to Wei Chuan
In Meng Tang's impression, this was the first heavy rain of the year. The rain hit the umbrella and fell in a fast rhythm.
Although the umbrella was small, she inexplicably felt safe under the umbrella of the cloth above her head.
Her feet and trouser legs were soaked, and Wei Chuan's entire body was soaked.
His umbrella was tilted open. Meng Tang raised his hand, grasped the handle, and pushed it toward him: "You're all wet."
"I'm already soaked, what's the use of an umbrella if I get you wet too?" Wei Chuan held the umbrella handle motionless. "Don't push it away. I'm strong and rarely get sick."
"Prophecy," Meng Tang raised his head, "Pooh."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Wei Chuan spat three times, his eyes seeking praise, "Is that so?"
He was a little silly, but it made Meng Tang want to laugh. He seemed to have a magical power that could make people happy.
She tilted her head back and said "hmm", with a smile in her eyes, but she didn't notice that she stepped on a bad, uneven brick.
In his peripheral vision, Meng Tang's figure swayed, and Wei Chuan quickly grabbed her shoulders and prevented her from falling.
"Are you okay?"
Even through a coat, Meng Tang could still feel the impenetrable warmth of the shoulder.
She shook her head and pushed him away awkwardly: "It's okay, let's go."
Girls' Dormitory Building No. 19 is not far from the training hall, but due to the heavy rain, it took about ten minutes longer than usual to get there.
When he arrived at the dormitory door, Wei Chuan was already soaked.
He put the hood of his jacket on her head and said, "I can't go in there. Run over there by yourself. Be careful."
Meng Tang raised his hand: "Thank you for today, bye."
Wei Chuan watched her run into the eaves of the girls' dormitory before turning around and leaving.
After returning to the dormitory, Meng Tang took off his windbreaker at the door.
Xie Lingyin heard the noise and took her slippers from inside.
Meng Tang took off his shoes at the door and thanked him.
"Go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold."
"good."
After she entered the bathroom, Shi Lan and Yang Ke took off their headphones, squeezed next to Xie Lingyin, and asked, "Is she okay?"
Xie Lingyin said, "I think it's okay."
"Such a big thing happened, and she didn't even tell us." Yang Ke sighed, "Do you think she doesn't consider us her friends?"
Xie Lingyin tutted, "That's a bit much. The three of us don't have the same majors as her. Even if I told you, what can you do? I guess Meng Tang doesn't want us to worry too much."
Yang Ke: "Well, I just feel more comfortable speaking it out than keeping it in my heart."
Shi Lan: "It's okay, I asked, and the hospital is already investigating. Meng Tang is now focused on repairing the wood carving and is very busy. If she doesn't say anything, just pretend she doesn't know."
After taking a shower, Shi Lan and Yang Ke had already drawn the bed curtains.
Seeing Xie Lingyin still downstairs, Meng Tang wiped his hair and asked, "Why aren't you getting in bed yet?"
Xie Lingyin's eyes turned: "Wei Chuan sent you back?"
"Well, there's only one umbrella in the training hall."
"Is the jacket hanging at the door also his?"
"No," Meng Tang explained, "It belongs to their coach. He bought it too big and put it over there for the basketball team to try out. Wei Chuan lent it to me first. You go to sleep first. I still have some laundry to do."
Xie Lingyin: "...Let me see your clothes."
Although Meng Tang was confused, he still gave her the clothes.
Seeing Xie Lingyin staring at him for a long time, Meng Tang asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the clothes?"
Xie Lingyin laughed and said, "Are you sure this suit belongs to the coach? Not Wei Chuan?"
Meng Tang: "Why do you ask?"
Xie Lingyin: "A Balenciaga collaboration in the limited edition volcanic gray colorway. Do you think the school team coach would be willing to buy it? Even assuming he's willing and has the money, who would buy such expensive clothing without the right size?"
“…” Meng Tang was speechless.
So, this dress belongs to Wei Chuan?
"I don't blame you. You don't pursue these things." Xie Lingyin handed her the clothes. "But Wei Chuan is a good person."
Hmm? Meng Tang paused while wiping his hair. "You think he's good?"
"Yeah." Xie Lingyin nodded, "It's okay."
"Then..." Meng Tang looked at Xie Lingyin, his eyes probing, "What do you think of him as a boyfriend?"
Xie Lingyin's aunt smiled, as if to say, "I understand." "As for my boyfriend... I think he's okay. I should feel safe with him."
Meng Tang pondered for a moment: "I understand, I'll go blow dry my hair."
Xie Lingyin turned around and climbed onto the bed, gossiping with Xu Heqing.
It was already half past ten when they finished washing the clothes. Meng Tang said something and turned off the lights.
She climbed onto the bed, unlocked her phone, and sent a message to Wei Chuan: [Have you returned to the dormitory?]
Wei Chuan had just finished showering in the training hall's shower room. He put on his clothes and leaned against the wardrobe. "No, I'm still in the training hall."
Meng Tang was never one to get straight to the point, so he was polite to him: "What time do you guys go back to the dorm to sleep?"
Wei Chuan: [Looking at the training, it's early tonight, so I can go back soon.]
Meng Tang: [It’s still raining outside.]
Wei Chuan: [It's okay, Xu Heqing brought a few umbrellas.]
That’s good. Meng Tang typed in the dialog box, wanting to ask about the clothes. He wrote and deleted, struggling for a long time.
"Brother Chuan, are you ready? Let's go back to the dormitory."
Wei Chuan had been staring at his phone, and without turning his head, he said, "You go first."
After waiting for two minutes, there was still no news from Meng Tang. Wei Chuan could no longer stand and asked, "What's the matter?"
After all, Meng Tang never took the initiative to chat with him. She also thanked him for sending her back to the dormitory just now.
Meng Tang was seen through and sent him an emoticon of "hmm" nodding obediently.
Wei Chuan automatically put an emoticon on Meng Tang's face, and a low, light laugh echoed in the locker room.
Lingyin said the clothes don't look like the coach's. Whose are they?
Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows, being exposed so quickly.
His subordinate quickly replied: [What do you think? ]
Meng Tang: […Yours?]
Wei Chuan: [Yes.]
Meng Tang: [Why don’t you say anything?]
Wei Chuan: [Before, on the high-speed train, you refused the coat I offered you, so I made up other excuses, mainly because the rain was too heavy and your thin sweater couldn't block it at all.]
Meng Tang: [But Lingyin will misunderstand.]
Wei Chuan: [What misunderstanding?]
Meng Tang: […How else do you think there could be a misunderstanding? Clothes are personal belongings. What would she think if I wore your clothes?]
Wei Chuan reacted and felt an indescribable feeling.
Seeing that he hadn't replied yet, Meng Tang knew that he understood, so she replied: [Don't worry, I explained it to you. She also said that you are a good person.]
Wei Chuan: […What did she say?]
Meng Tang: [If you were my boyfriend, I'd feel safe. I think you have great potential. Keep going.]
…
The feeling was even harder to describe. Wei Chuan frowned subconsciously, but he felt that he shouldn't behave like this.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his head to type: [Do you want me to speak well of you in front of Xu Heqing?]
Meng Tang really didn't mean that, but she had become familiar with Wei Chuan during this period of time and felt that he was a good person.
Xie Lingyin praised him, so she asked.
"That's not what I meant. Your clothes should be dry by tomorrow morning. What classes do you have this morning?"
Are you here to return the clothes?
Wei Chuan thought for a moment and replied: [Let me find you. What class are you taking?]
Meng Tang: [Four theory classes in the morning, and the wood carving studio in the afternoon.]
Wei Chuan: [I'm busy this morning, I'll come see you this afternoon.]
Meng Tang: [How about tonight? I'll give it to you while I'm jogging.]
Wei Chuan: [I'm not at school at night.]
Meng Tang: [Then let’s do it in the afternoon.]
After saying good night, Meng Tang kept his eyes open without feeling sleepy. He wondered whether the results of the investigation would be available tomorrow.
