Chapter 38 Why are you here?
The museum's youth wood carving experience program is all day, from 9:30 to 11:00 in the morning and from 2:00 to 3:30 in the afternoon.
At nine o'clock on Tuesday, Meng Tang arrived at the museum and met with the event planner.
After understanding the specific process, Meng Tang had a clear idea in mind.
The first 20 minutes were an explanation of wood carving culture, which she had prepared. The next hour was a practical experience, and a group photo of the works was taken before the end.
In the afternoon she gave a demonstration and at the end she awarded certificates to the children who performed well.
Around 9:20, the children arrived one after another and parents were no longer allowed to enter.
Meng Tang looked at the pairs of bright eyes and felt a little nervous.
"Wow, you're so beautiful, sis."
A little boy in the front row suddenly praised.
"Thank you." Meng Tang smiled, and after calming down, he introduced himself.
She made the PPT on wood carving culture herself. There are many pictures on the pages so that the children don’t find it difficult and boring to read the words.
Meng Tang is not humorous, but he speaks seriously.
The children who came today were very considerate and listened attentively for 20 minutes.
The practical class was much more interesting. Meng Tang gave them aprons and taught them the carving tools and their uses.
The children used a safety carving knife and a basswood board with the pattern already transferred onto it. They only needed to make a rubbing and then carve grooves along the lines.
Meng Tang patiently taught them one by one, and time passed unknowingly, and their levels were basically the same.
The museum customized a batch of identical bases on which children can place their works.
Meng Tang took photos of them all.
At half past eleven, the children were picked up one by one by their parents.
Meng Tang will be coming over in the afternoon and plans to have a bite nearby.
As soon as I put on my bag, the planning specialist said, "We have provided you with a standard meal."
Meng Tang smiled and shook his head: "No, I haven't been here for a long time. I plan to go shopping nearby. I'll come back at 1:30 in the afternoon."
"All right."
Meng Tang left the interactive room and his cell phone rang.
Wei Chuan?
Meng Tang picked up the phone: "Hello."
"I want to ask, the other kids are all taken away by their parents to eat, is anyone taking care of your meals?"
Meng Tang was stunned: "...You are in the museum?"
"Yes." Wei Chuan's voice was filled with a faint smile, "Why don't you come out?"
"Why are you here?" Meng Tang strode out of the museum along the road.
The children participated in the activities on the east side of the first floor, very close to the main gate.
As soon as he went out, Meng Tang saw Wei Chuan at the bottom of the stairs. After a day of rest, he had fully recovered his energy.
He held his cell phone, smiled, and waved at her.
The wind and the sun are particularly fond of him, making his every frown and smile eye-catching.
Meng Tang hung up the phone, walked down the stairs and approached him: "Why are you here?"
"My home is nearby." Wei Chuan said, "I went home to sleep last night, and on the way back to school I remembered you were here, so I stopped by to see you."
There were two days of rest after the game. Yesterday, his family watched the live broadcast, so he naturally had to go back.
"Have you eaten yet?" Meng Tang asked, "I'm going to eat now and go shopping on the way. Do you want to join me?"
Wei Chuan stepped next to her and said, "I'm just here to eat."
Meng Tang pointed across the street: "There's a shopping mall over there. There should be food there."
Wei Chuan: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Meng Tang had never been to this mall before. Looking at the floor introduction outside the elevator, she turned to Wei Chuan and asked, "Do you want to go to the food court on the underground first floor, or the restaurant on the rooftop?"
It was Tuesday and there were not many people in the mall. The two of them were waiting in front of the elevator.
Wei Chuan is tall, and he leans forward unconsciously when talking to her: "I'll listen to you."
Looking from the side, Meng Tang's entire figure was blocked by him.
Meng Tang said, "Let's go to the basement floor. I want to go shopping later."
I'm afraid there isn't enough time to go to the restaurant.
"Do you want to buy something?" Wei Chuan asked.
"Yeah." Meng Tang responded, "I lost my thermos, so I bought a new one."
The elevator reached the first floor, and Wei Chuan stepped in and said, "Let's go to the basement. The mall here is big, and there should be a lot of food on the basement floor."
Meng Tang went down to the basement with him.
There were a few people sitting in the food area. Meng Tang walked around and ordered duck blood vermicelli.
Wei Chuan also ordered one and two drinks.
Because there weren’t many people, the duck blood vermicelli was sold out very quickly.
Wei Chuan reminded Meng Tang: "Be careful of the heat."
Meng Tang nodded and asked, "Are you going back to school this afternoon?"
Wei Chuan said, "The coach has asked for two days off for us. I've booked a private room at Hexiyuan tonight and invited everyone from your dormitory and ours. You can come too."
Meng Tang was stunned: "Did they agree?"
"I agreed." Wei Chuan looked at her. "I asked Xu Heqing to ask. He has Xie Lingyin's contact information. I won the competition. Thank you for your hard work these past few days. This is a small celebration."
Meng Tang laughed at him: "You're really celebrating, and you really want to see Lingyin, right? I even have Xu Heqing's WeChat, why haven't you added her contact information yet?"
Wei Chuan muttered, "I've been very busy with the competition. After the regional competition, the competition will be even greater, and the training intensity will be the same. The coach doesn't want us to be distracted."
Meng Tang: "...So you haven't even confessed yet and everyone knows about it?"
It really can't be hidden at all.
Wei Chuan choked. He didn't want to make it known to everyone, and... he felt that his feelings towards Meng Tang were a bit complicated.
He didn't have much time to think about anything else during the competition days, but Meng Tang's absence from the semi-finals really made him dazed for a while, and he was even scolded by the coach.
Fortunately, he didn't lose the game, otherwise the coach would have eaten him alive.
He also discovered that compared to Xie Lingyin, he seemed to be more willing to see Meng Tang.
Wei Chuan was shocked by his own thoughts and ate with his head down, feeling guilty.
After dinner, the two took the escalator to the first floor. There was a department store boutique on the first floor, close to the entrance, so they could leave just in time after shopping.
The yellow door is not very big, but once you go in you will find out what’s inside.
Opposite the stationery area, there is a super large claw machine area with a promotional price of 69 yuan for 300 coins. Wei Chuan was eager to try it.
Meng Tang pulled him and asked, "Are you sure you want to catch him?"
Wei Chuan raised his chin and said, "Go buy the thermos first. I'll go take a look. Maybe I can catch a lot and give them to the children participating in the wood carving activity this afternoon."
This is such a good idea, Meng Tang couldn't refuse it.
She looked at Wei Chuan eagerly and said, "There are 22 children participating in the event. Can you catch them?"
Wei Chuan was also unsure: "Should it be possible?"
Meng Tang: "Then I'll go shopping first?"
"Go ahead."
It didn’t take long to buy a thermos cup. Meng Tang paid the money and went to find Wei Chuan.
Seeing that there were already two baskets at his feet, she happily came over and said, "Can I help you hold the game coins?"
Wei Chuan found it funny: "There's a special place here. You can just pull the basket. It's easy. Or I'll give you half the coins and you can go and have some fun."
"Forget it, I'll follow you."
She thought Wei Chuan was quite capable. With 300 coins, he should be able to catch 22, right?
But it is very dangerous to grab two coins at a time.
As it turned out, she was absolutely right, because Wei Chuan only caught 17 out of 300 coins.
In fact, it was a lot, only 5 short. Meng Tang scanned the code again and bought 300 coins.
The second time he caught 15, a total of 32, and Meng Tang was satisfied.
Wei Chuan gave out ten and wanted to exchange six for medium-sized dolls. He said to Meng Tang:
"Six of them can be exchanged for a medium-sized one. You can choose which one you like. As for the remaining four small ones, you and your roommate can each get one."
Meng Tang was stunned: "Give it to me? Aren't you going to give this big one to Lingyin?"
Wei Chuan cleared his throat and said, "The money you paid the second time is of course yours. I won't take advantage of others."
"It's okay with me. Give it to Lingyin." Meng Tang said.
"No need." Wei Chuan interrupted her, "Here you go, choose. I'll ask the clerk to get a big bag to pack the remaining dolls."
Meng Tang felt that Wei Chuan's expression was not right. Before she could think about it, the clerk came over and asked her which one she wanted to change.
Meng Tang changed into a cute panda.
