Chapter 34 That’s…Meng Tang
Xu Heqing stared at the hung up phone for a long time. What on earth was Wei Chuan doing?
He didn't lack these things, so why did he take Meng Tang's bracelet without permission?
"Coach, I need to go out and make a phone call. It's urgent."
Wei Chuan's voice echoed in the hall. After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran out the side door.
While Meng Tang was in a daze, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Xie Lingyin walked in, changed her shoes, and chatted, "You're up pretty early tonight. Have you showered yet?"
The phone on the table rang frantically. Meng Tang hummed, put on his coat, and said to Xie Lingyin, "I'm going to the balcony to answer the phone."
Meng Tang closed the balcony door and pressed the answer button.
There was silence for five seconds before the other end spoke: "I'm sorry, the bracelet you gave to Xu Heqing is with me."
Meng Tang chuckled, laughing at his own excitement and embarrassment at that time.
She asked, "Why?"
Can Wei Chuan say that he just couldn't bear it at the time and it was just some strange coincidence?
No, Meng Tang would feel embarrassed and would have to blame himself.
"I've taken a fancy to your bracelet." Wei Chuan sneered. "It was a hassle to return it, but I forgot about it because of training. I'll transfer the money to you now."
After thinking for a long time, I decided to wait until the small wood carving was finished and then use it as an excuse to exchange it for cash for her.
But she knew it in advance.
"No need, I'll give it to you."
Meng Tang is not a fool. She had a preconceived notion. Wei Chuan did not say that Xu Heqing had taken the bracelet.
"Wait a minute." Wei Chuan heard that she was about to hang up and quickly stopped her. "I'll finish training at 9:30. Can you come down then?"
"I--"
"When I beg you."
"…What are you going to do?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes, okay? Coach called me."
"All right."
The coach didn't call him. After Wei Chuan hung up the phone, he made another call.
Wei Siyuan opened a membership-based high-end dessert shop, where the highest-level members can enjoy 24-hour door-to-door service.
But he is at school, so you just need to deliver the cake he specifies to school.
Classic black truffle chocolate cake, I don’t know if Meng Tang likes it.
Wei Siyuan always says that if you are in a bad mood, you can sweeten it up a bit, and it should be helpful.
He took the other person's bracelet for no apparent reason and didn't pay for it, for fear that Meng Tang would misunderstand him.
The coach came out to call people, and Wei Chuan finally calmed down.
As soon as the training was over, he put on his coat and ran out without even taking a shower.
At night, outside vehicles could not enter Z University, so Wei Chuan ran all the way to the south gate closest to the women's dormitory.
After getting the cake, he didn't dare to run away for fear of breaking it.
Meng Tang received his message, said something to his roommate, and went downstairs.
There were still quite a few people outside at this time, and there were couples hanging out downstairs.
Meng Tang walked outside and turned to the path south of the dormitory building.
After standing there for a while, a man came from a distance. It was not until Wei Chuan stopped in front of her that she could see his face clearly.
"for you."
Meng Tang looked at the cake that was blocking his way, his face full of confusion.
"This is my fault. I'm giving you the money now."
"Wait." Meng Tang pointed at the cake, "This is..."
Wei Chuan said, "This is for you, as an apology. Don't misunderstand me. I really didn't mean to withhold the money from you."
Meng Tang: "...I didn't misunderstand you, because I know you are not interested in the bracelet I bought."
Wei Chuan was stunned.
"You didn't tell me that Xu Heqing accepted it that day. I misunderstood first." Meng Tang said, "I don't need the bracelet, and I don't have any brothers or sisters at home, so I'll give it to you."
Wei Chuan knew that it was just her excuse. She could use the bracelet herself. Was she afraid that seeing the bracelet would remind her of someone?
"Okay, I'll take it." Wei Chuan handed her the cake, "But you still have to pay."
"Really?" Meng Tang refused. "How about this, I'll use this cake as a payment. It looks quite expensive."
"That won't work."
"When did you become so indecisive?"
Wei Chuan said helplessly: "Well, let's put it this way. This bracelet will be your birthday gift to me. I will buy you another gift on your birthday."
"It's still early for my birthday." Meng Tang smiled, "When is your birthday?"
"Christmas."
Meng Tang looked at the cake and smiled: "You treated me to cake, and I gave you a bracelet. This is to celebrate your birthday in advance."
Wei Chuan finally felt relieved when he saw her smile.
He said, "It's getting late. Take it up and share it with your roommates. I have to go back to the dorm too."
"Okay." Meng Tang took the cake and said goodbye to him.
After returning to the dormitory, Shi Lan came up to him and said, "Meng Tang, what crime have you committed so late at night?"
Meng Tang smiled and said, "Let's share it."
Xie Lingyin raised an eyebrow. "You took this when you came downstairs? Who gave it to you?"
Meng Tang said: "Wei Chuan, there was a misunderstanding with him, and he was sent here to apologize."
Yang Ke: "Black truffle chocolate lava cake, looks delicious."
Meng Tang divided the cake, giving each person a piece.
She scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The cake was smooth and rich, and the chocolate gushed out like magma, filling her mouth.
The bracelet was also swallowed along with the mouth full of mellow fragrance.
For many days afterwards, Meng Tang never saw Wei Chuan again.
On November 23, after the morning classes ended, she was pushed out of the north gate by her roommates.
"Aren't you guys going to eat?" Meng Tang asked as he entered the subway entrance. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Shi Lan said, "Everyone is out now, let's go try the cafeteria at G University."
"Still eating in the cafeteria?" Yang Ke was not happy. "There are a lot of delicious places near G University."
When the four people arrived underground, they saw Xu Heqing and others waiting for the subway.
Liang Heng and Li Zhuo knew Meng Tang and greeted him with a smile.
After getting on the subway, Liang Heng asked Meng Tang curiously, "Aren't you not coming?"
Meng Tang looked confused: "What?"
Liang Heng: "Brother Chuan asked you to watch the game, but you refused."
"Oh, I was busy at the time and wasn't sure if I had time." Meng Tang said, "My roommates were all here, so I just joined in the fun."
Liang Heng and Li Zhuo looked at each other. Brother Chuan must be so happy.
Since they met, the two dormitories had lunch together, but they just ate casually because they really couldn't make it in time.
The show started at 2 p.m., and some people had reserved seats two hours in advance, and they were delayed a bit by taking the subway.
The game was held in the gymnasium of G University. When Meng Tang and his group arrived, the gym was already crowded with people.
Each school had a cheering formation, and Xu Heqing reserved a spot in advance.
After sitting down, Meng Tang looked at the time and saw that the show would not start for more than an hour.
But time passed quickly as she put on headphones and studied the rules of basketball.
She didn't take off her headphones until Xie Lingyin pushed her against her.
About two minutes later, the announcement came on, saying that the game was about to begin and asking everyone to take their seats quietly.
The referees, photographers and other staff were all in place. Meng Tang saw the scene for the first time and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The referees were then introduced on the broadcast, followed by the players and coaches.
There are four games a day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, with cross-matches. The promotion rule is a single-game elimination system.
That is to say, the four winning teams today will compete in the semi-finals on the 24th.
Z University is in the third game, playing against the University of Science and Technology.
The broadcast introduced the players and coaches of Polytechnic University, and the audience cheered.
"Now—" the radio vibrated again, "Let us welcome the players of Z University's men's basketball team! No. 1 Shao Yiming... No. 11 Tian Yu... No. 27 Wei Chuan, a key player in the last CUBAL national semi-finals..."
“Ahhhhhhhhh Wei Chuan Wei Chuan…”
Meng Tang's eardrums were shocked. In addition to the parade team from his own school, there were also "enemy troops" dancing and screaming.
Wei Chuan waved towards the audience. After finding his own formation, he was stunned. That was... Meng Tang?
