Chapter 31: Going to watch the game
Although Meng Tang planned to confess to Xu Heqing, he didn't know how to do it.
After thinking about it, she felt that Wei Chuan had experience.
However, she has been busy with wood carvings and restorations for the past half month and has not seen Wei Chuan for a long time.
On the day she passed the physical test, he sent her a message to congratulate her.
Last night, Xie Lingyin and the others were in the dormitory talking about the schedule for the grassroots competition being announced.
The competition lasts for six days, starting on November 20th. I believe Wei Chuan is also busy with training.
Meng Tang looked at the wooden carved rose that had taken shape, and his desire to seek advice from Wei Chuan faded.
Let's wait until after his game.
By then the ornaments may have been carved.
Meng Tang lowered his head and smiled, then slashed the wood with the knife smoothly and neatly.
The sawdust rustled, and the outer petals of the rose were the largest, making it look more flamboyant.
Meng Tang was immersed in it, changing tools in between and slowly carving out shadow gaps between the two layers of petals. The wood chips fell off between the distinct layers.
The sun was setting and the back of his neck was aching. Meng Tang withdrew his hand and checked the time.
It’s still early, let’s go to the cafeteria to have a meal and then come back to continue.
After buying a set meal, Meng Tang sat down nearby.
"On the 23rd of next month, Cubal's quarterfinals, are you going to watch?"
Meng Tang paused with his chopsticks, his eyes shifted slightly back, and he quietly pricked up his ears to listen to the chat of the two girls behind him.
"It's still at G University, a bit far away."
"What's so far? Line 3 goes directly to the school gate."
“It’s the same with watching live broadcasts.”
"What's the same? G University is at home, and the audience's cheering will also affect the players' performance. Let's go cheer for Z University."
"Humph, go cheer for Wei Chuan."
"Are you going? It starts at 2pm, so let's go in the morning."
"Okay."
Meng Tang unlocked his phone, opened the calendar and took a look. November 23rd was a Thursday.
She has classes all day.
But she doesn't understand basketball and won't cheer excitedly, so it's better for her to wait for the result.
Based on other people's more or less descriptions of Wei Chuan, she knew that he was very powerful.
Meng Tang's phone vibrated, and he paused for a moment. It was a message from Wei Chuan: [The schedule is out.]
Meng Tang put down his chopsticks and replied: [I know, and I also know that you will be competing on the 23rd.]
Wei Chuan: [(Big smiley face) Are you following me? ]
Meng Tang: [I heard from others that everyone has been discussing this recently, and Lingyin has also been paying attention.]
Wei Chuan: [Are you going to watch the game? It's at G University, not far away.]
Meng Tang: [Sorry, I'm busy. I have classes all day, but I can ask Lingyin for you. She should be free.]
Wei Chuan ended the conversation with "Okay".
After being stunned for a while, he felt that something was wrong with him. If Meng Tang hadn't mentioned Xie Lingyin, he would have forgotten her existence.
But wasn't he going to confess his love to Xie Lingyin?
There are two people in their team who are in love. Just now, when the team was talking about watching the game, the first people they invited were their girlfriends.
Those who didn't have girlfriends also shyly invited the girls they liked.
The first person he thought of was Meng Tang. He felt a little uncomfortable being rejected.
His teammates were calling him not far away. Wei Chuan grabbed his hair and turned his attention to basketball.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Meng Tang returned to the dormitory.
Xie Lingyin looked at her curiously: "You came back quite early tonight."
My wrists and back were stiff and painful all day. Meng Tang smiled and said, "I'm a little tired."
"How's your woodcarving going?" Xie Lingyin asked. "You fell asleep on the stool while soaking your feet last night. Take care of yourself."
Meng Tang said, "It's okay. I won't force myself to feel uncomfortable. By the way, where are Shi Lan and Yang Ke?"
Xie Lingyin: "They went shopping this afternoon, so it probably will take a while for them to come back."
Meng Tang untied her loose long hair and put it up again.
He glanced at her from the corner of his eye from time to time, thinking about how to ask Xie Lingyin to watch the game.
Before she could figure out the reason, Xie Lingyin suddenly turned her head and said, "By the way, Wei Chuan's game is coming up soon, did you know?"
Meng Tang was delighted: "I know. Are you planning to go and see it?"
Xie Lingyin said, "Shi Lan and Yang Ke asked me to go with them, and I agreed, but you're on Thursday..."
"Shi Lan is going too?" Meng Tang was stunned. "She's not going to basketball class this afternoon?"
Xie Lingyin laughed: "The physical education teacher has gone to watch the game, and you still expect to attend class?"
"But I—"
"Go ahead," Xie Lingyin said. "It won't count as skipping class. The game starts at 2 p.m., so we can go there at noon."
Meng Tang subconsciously asked, "So early?"
Xie Lingyin said: "Cubal's grassroots competitions are free and open to the public, but seats are limited, so you must go early."
"Forget it, I don't understand it either." Meng Tang didn't want to make this trip, "You guys go and see."
"If you don't understand, just watch the goals," Xie Lingyin advised her. "We're all roommates together, and after the game, it's a good time to have dinner together."
Having said everything, Meng Tang couldn't refuse anymore.
After taking a shower, she quietly climbed into bed and looked up the rules of basketball.
Meng Tang accidentally saw a game highlight of a Cubal player and for some reason typed "Wei Chuan" into the search bar.
The first video is a list of handsome guys from Cubal, with Wei Chuan on the cover.
He leaned against the railing, with the night view of Victoria Harbour behind him.
No pose, no smile, the camera language turned his deep facial features into a rich and colorful oil painting.
He tilted his head slightly back, his eyes slightly downcast, and there was a sense of calm oppression.
Meng Tang opened the comments and found that more than half of them were teasing and a little wild.
As the videos flashed by one after another, Meng Tang seemed to have forgotten his original intention.
Wei Chuan didn't know any of the rules of basketball and had been dreaming for half the night.
He even woke up late the next day, and Xie Lingyin brought him breakfast.
The three of them looked at her with auntie smiles on their faces.
Meng Tang touched his face and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lingyin nudged her ambiguously: "Did you have a dream last night?"
Meng Tang vaguely recalled the scene in his dream and nodded: "I think I did."
"You kept calling Wei Chuan's name." Shi Lan muttered while stuffing her bun with the food.
“…”
Meng Tang stammered, "I, I was looking up Cubal's basketball rules last night and saw him."
Yang Ke also came over: "Do you understand the rules?"
Meng Tang was stunned.
"Stop teasing her," Xie Lingyin patted Yang Ke and said to Meng Tang, "Hurry up and go wash up and eat."
Meng Tang slipped away and vowed never to watch Wei Chuan's videos again.
After the morning class, the teacher left some special training on the materials according to the season.
It is autumn now, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves and fruits, which are ready-made materials.
Meng Tang took off her apron and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Tan Xi chased after him and said, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
Meng Tang turned his head away and took a tissue to wipe his hands: "I'll go pick up some leaves first."
Tan Xi: "Then I'll go with you, okay?"
She didn't open the school and she didn't plant the trees, so it's natural.
Meng Tang nodded.
The two of them went downstairs together. Just as they turned into the main road that led north and south, a boy suddenly came over and blocked their way.
"Classmate, how do I get to the training hall of the Sports Institute?"
Meng Tang raised his hand and pointed the way to him.
The man looked confused: "Classmate, how about you help me lead the way?"
Meng Tang and Tan Xi looked at each other and nodded.
The boy was talkative and kept asking Meng Tang questions all the way. Meng Tang was polite and answered all his questions.
She didn't interrupt him until the training hall was within reach, pointing to a building not far away and saying, "That's it."
"Thank you, classmate. I'll treat you to a meal."
Tan Xi watched from the side and suspected that this man had taken a fancy to Meng Tang.
"No," Meng Tang refused, "My classmates and I have things to do."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, and the cafeteria isn't far away."
Meng Tang was running out of patience with him and was about to refuse when there was a "bang" and the boy in front of him was hit on the back by the basketball.
He yelled and turned around: "Who the hell is so blind?"
