Chapter 33 Didn’t you return the bracelet to Meng Tang?
The light of late autumn is warm and pleasant, and mottled halos shine through the gaps between the leaves of the Pistacia chinensis.
The wind blew, and the leaves rustled. Meng Tang looked up at Wei Chuan, and his heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Meng Tang's frightened eyes, Wei Chuan was also stunned, and then he realized the ambiguity of this action.
The silence was quieter than the falling leaves, and Meng Tang didn't know how to take the leaf in his hand.
Wei Chuan moved his lower lip. If he couldn't give a suitable reason, Meng Tang was afraid that he would misunderstand that he was teasing her.
He cleared his throat and explained with difficulty: "Don't get me wrong, my mother has a Maltese, and I always tease him with toys. Of course, I didn't mean to scold you, it was just a subconscious reaction."
After saying that, he stared at Meng Tang, his breathing tense, his fingertips rubbing back and forth uncontrollably.
The poor excuse made Meng Tangjing relax. She raised her hand, took the leaves he was holding, stood up and said, "I'm going to find Tan Xi."
"Wait a minute." Wei Chuan strode over and stood in front of her.
The moment their eyes met, they looked away tacitly.
Meng Tang lowered his eyes quietly and waited for his next words.
Wei Chuan remembered the bracelet that was still in his bag and he didn't know what to do with it, so he asked, "How was your conversation with Xu Heqing?"
It was no big deal that he had been keeping other people's things, but he didn't say it at the time, and Wei Chuan couldn't say it now.
"We didn't talk much." Meng Tang replied.
She might never learn to take the initiative in her life.
Wei Chuan said "Oh": "After the school sports meeting, he was not very busy."
"I'm busy." Meng Tang twirled the leaves in his hand and whispered, "I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know how to take the initiative. You like Lingyin and have been preparing to confess your feelings. Can I ask you how to confess your feelings to someone you don't have much interaction with in life or study?"
Wei Chuan actually didn't understand either. To be honest, his interactions with Xie Lingyin were far less than his interactions with Meng Tang.
But Meng Tang had already asked, so he mustered up the courage. He paused and said:
"Just start with the other person's preferences."
"Hobbies?" Meng Tang pondered. "Then... besides electronic products, what else does Xu Heqing like?"
Wei Chuan: "Because of his profession, he naturally pays more attention to the operation of sports events, but in his daily life he likes to grow plants and has a lot of them on his dormitory balcony."
Meng Tang chuckled: "What a coincidence, Lingyin likes it too. The jade dew on my desk was given to me by her."
"Yu Lu?" Wei Chuan thought for a moment, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Meng Tang said: "It is a succulent plant. The leaves are crystal clear, like jade. It is very beautiful."
I remembered that Xu Heqing sent him to college when he was a freshman, and he raised him to death.
Wei Chuan: “…”
He should have taken good care of him in the first place.
Meng Tang showed a distressed expression and said slowly, "Can I confess my love and give you a potted plant? Okay?"
"It's really not that good." Wei Chuan said, "Aren't you good at wood carving? Why don't you give me this?"
"No time." Meng Tang said embarrassedly.
Wei Chuan suddenly laughed and joked with her: "You are not sincere either."
"Giving a wooden sculpture is sincere?" Meng Tang countered softly, "If you're sincere, why don't you make it yourself?"
Wei Chuan begged for mercy: "You are making things difficult for me."
Tan Xi called out to Meng Tang from a distance, "Are you done? I picked up a lot, enough for the two of us."
Meng Tang's unfinished words were interrupted. She smiled, walked past Wei Chuan and went towards Tan Xi.
After leaving the botanical garden, Meng Tang went to the studio and Wei Chuan went to the training hall, and the four of them said goodbye.
After returning to the studio and sorting the leaves with Tan Xi, Meng Tang suddenly casually put a piece of orange into a book.
Tan Xi caught a glimpse of it and asked, "Why did you put the leaves in the book?"
Meng Tang said: "I use it as a bookmark. This leaf is very beautiful and I can't bear to use glue on it."
Tan Xi laughed: "It's quite poetic."
After a busy afternoon, Meng Tang returned to the dormitory after dinner after he and Tan Xi each set the tone for their homework.
No one was there. Meng Tang took a shower and charged his phone.
During her rare free time, she flicked the succulents and opened the chat history with Xu Heqing.
The content is still stuck on the day when the friend was added.
Or, ask him how he uses the bracelet?
Meng Tang typed slowly, hesitated for a long time, and clicked send. Then he lay on the table like a quail, finishing his manuscript.
She didn't know that Xu Heqing was right downstairs in the girls' dormitory, asking Xie Lingyin when she would make their relationship public.
Xie Lingyin sneered, "We've broken up three times in six months. You're embarrassed to talk about it, but I'm too embarrassed to even mention it. One foot public, and then we break up again. What's that?"
Xu Heqing: "...it's always you who breaks up with me."
Although Xie Lingyin was in the wrong, she remained firm in her words: "Don't you have a reason?"
Xu Heqing was defeated: "Yes, I admit it, can I get over it?"
Xie Lingyin sneered.
Xu Heqing put his arm around her shoulders, half threatening and half commanding:
"I'm telling you, before the end of this semester, I have to treat your roommate to a meal as your boyfriend."
Xie Lingyin glanced at him sideways: "What are you so anxious about?"
Xu Heqing chuckled, "I'm afraid Wei Chuan will get ahead of me."
Xie Lingyin became interested: "What? Has there been any progress between him and Meng Tang?"
Xu Heqing laughed: "I went to the Botanical Garden at noon today. I was late for training and got scolded by the coach. His childhood friend happened to be there too. We chatted while playing basketball and found out that he and Meng Tang went there together."
"He's really into it. The competition's almost here." Xie Lingyin said with pride, "Our Meng Tang is truly charming."
Xu Heqing said: "This is what it's like to like someone, but can you please stop caring about others? Did you hear me clearly?"
"Got it. Are you annoying?" Xie Lingyin pushed him away. "I'm going upstairs."
Xu Heqing stood there for a while, until Xie Lingyin disappeared in the corridor, then he took out his cell phone and turned to leave.
The phone vibrated just now. He unlocked it and saw Meng Tang's message, and stopped in his tracks.
Bracelet? Didn't you give it to her?
Xu Heqing immediately replied: [Is this the bracelet you wanted to give me as a thank you? The one you asked Wei Chuan to bring to me?]
Meng Tang was delighted to see his reply, and unconsciously explained the reason for giving him the bracelet:
[Yes, when I was confronting Zhang Yifan, I noticed that the carving knife had scratched your bracelet, so I thought of compensating you with one.]
Xu Heqing: [I asked Wei Chuan to return it to you at that time. Didn’t you receive it?]
What? Meng Tang was stunned. Xu Heqing didn't want it, so where was the bracelet?
Wei Chuan would not be greedy for such a small thing from her. There must be a misunderstanding.
But it would be too embarrassing if she asked Xu Heqing rashly because he hadn't confiscated it yet.
Meng Tang was so busy that he could almost dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
After a long while, she replied to Xu Heqing: [Sorry, I remembered it wrongly.]
Xu Heqing replied "It's okay" and called Wei Chuan immediately after ending the chat.
It rang twice before he picked up.
Wei Chuan wiped his sweat and just as he said "Hello" Xu Heqing asked on the other end of the phone, "Didn't you return the bracelet to Meng Tang?"
Wei Chuan froze.
"Wei Chuan? Why don't you speak? It's been so many days. You've delayed her seven days to return the product without giving any reason. You should explain this to her yourself."
Wei Chuan licked his lower lip and said, "I won't tell you now. I'll call her now."
