Chapter 41 I Want
The blazing white light in the box pressed the figures of a group of people to the ground. The atmosphere was stagnant and silent.
After a while, Liang Heng trembled his lower lip: "Brother Chuan, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry."
Wei Chuan lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the bookmark, his expression difficult to discern.
He did not respond to Liang Heng, and the temperature around him gradually dropped.
Xie Lingyin gave Xu Heqing a look without any expression, and Xu Heqing shook his head.
Wei Chuan is usually very easy to talk to and can play with anyone.
But what's the use of comforting him if his important things have been destroyed?
With so many people around, Wei Chuan wouldn't do anything to Liang Heng, but he certainly couldn't put on a good face, which made everyone present very embarrassed.
Meng Tang also felt embarrassed. If Wei Chuan couldn't help but get angry at Liang Heng, it would also destroy their roommate relationship.
She took a deep breath, gently pushed away Li Zhuo who was blocking her way, and whispered, "Let me see."
Wei Chuan suddenly came to his senses and mechanically gave the wooden bookmark to Meng Tang.
Meng Tang took a look and smiled at Wei Chuan: "It's okay, it can be repaired."
"Really?" Liang Heng was delighted.
Meng Tang nodded: "Yes, I can fix it."
Wei Chuan doubtfully confirmed: "Can it really be repaired?"
"Yes." Meng Tang laughed. "I can even repair my finished wood carving, so this little piece of wood is no problem."
After she finished speaking, she pointed at the crack and said, "Look, the crack is very fine, and there is no cross-grain. Just use the same piece of wood to file out fine powder, and mix it with the prepared three-in-one glue to repair it. It will be no different from the original."
Liang Heng was completely relieved when he saw that she was talking so clearly. He said with lingering fear:
"As long as you can fix it, you will be my savior from now on. Brother Chuan almost swallowed me just now."
Xu Heqing patted Liang Heng on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations on getting a resurrection card."
Liang Heng chuckled.
Wei Chuan was not happy, he raised a key question:
"But this is the wood prepared by the museum. You also said that it needs to be the same piece to be repaired. Where can we find it?"
Liang Heng's heart was in turmoil again. Oh God, please don't play tricks on him.
Meng Tang didn't expect Wei Chuan to be so perceptive.
She originally just wanted to calm him down and take him back to repair it herself. If she didn't explain it clearly now, she was afraid that Wei Chuan would be worried.
Meng Tang pinched the wood and said, "This piece of wood is just a scrap. I guess it's hard to find the original material. But don't worry, different materials have different ways of repairing them."
Wei Chuan looked at her and asked in a low voice: "Can it really be the same?"
Meng Tang smiled and shook the bookmark: "You don't believe me?"
"I believe it." Wei Chuan said anxiously.
This was originally carved by Meng Tang. Who else can repair it except her?
Meng Tang said, "Don't stand there, let's go, I'll give it to you in a few days."
Wei Chuan nodded, and Liang Heng apologized to him sincerely again.
Wei Chuan knew that it was not Liang Heng's fault, but his own fault for not keeping it properly.
He clenched his fist and pressed Liang Heng's shoulder: "It's okay, I don't have a good attitude either."
A small crisis was resolved by Meng Tang.
When they returned to the dormitory, it was still early. While Shi Lan and Yang Ke were playing games with headphones on, Xie Lingyin poked Meng Tang.
Meng Tang glanced sideways from the computer screen: "What's wrong?"
"Did you carve this bookmark?" Xie Lingyin asked.
Meng Tang hummed, "It's teaching material provided by the museum. It's aimed at children. The wood is soft, but the texture is even, making it suitable for children to get started."
"Who asked you that?" Xie Lingyin chuckled. "I'm talking about Wei Chuan's bookmark. Did you give it to him?"
"...I can't just give this one and not that one." Meng Tang explained the situation at that time.
Aunt Xie Lingyin laughed: "So he stole your bookmark?"
Meng Tang nodded: "He is too tall, I can't get him back."
Xie Lingyin chuckled and said, "Meng Tang, you're really stupid."
This wasn't the first time Meng Tang heard her roommate call her wooden. She laughed and said, "Isn't it good to be wooden? Simplicity is the foundation."
What a simple and honest foundation! Xie Lingyin felt emotional and was about to say something when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She lowered her head and said, "Huh?" "Why did Wei Chuan add me?"
Meng Tang paused typing on the keyboard and said, "Maybe I have something to talk to you about."
"What could he want from me?" Xie Lingyin muttered to herself.
Meng Tang felt that tonight's group was great. Didn't Wei Chuan include Xie Lingyin?
From time to time, I could hear the vibrations of news. It seemed that the two of them were having a good chat.
Less than three minutes later, Xie Lingyin, speechless, asked Meng Tang, "He came up and asked me if I like reading."
Meng Tang: "...and then?"
Xie Lingyin: "I said I didn't like it. He then asked me if I liked reading The Little Prince, and I said no, too."
Meng Tang was embarrassed for a moment. How could Wei Chuan be so direct?
She coughed dryly and said, "Maybe he saw the keychain on your backpack and wanted to buy it as a gift for someone."
Xie Lingyin's backpack was hanging on a hook on the escalator nearby. Hearing this, she moved it and said, "You gave it to me, so I really like it."
Meng Tang was flattered. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Lingyin, were you in a bad mood when you accepted this keychain from me last year?"
Many things had become the past, and Xie Lingyin wasn't afraid to mention them, admitting, "Actually, that was my birthday."
Meng Tang remembered that it was already New Year's Eve. She was shocked and asked, "Isn't your birthday in January?"
Xie Lingyin said bitterly, "My family has always followed the Gregorian calendar since I was little. My younger brother was born on New Year's Day, and I was born on December 31st, but we never really celebrated my birthday. We basically just celebrated it on New Year's Day. I had a fight with my family about this, and they said I was ungrateful and ignorant, so I changed my birthday to the lunar calendar, which is the first day of December."
"It's nice to celebrate with you guys at school."
"I knew the keychain you gave me was a bit expensive, but I still accepted it as my birthday present."
Meng Tang said: "I could see that you were unhappy at the time. I think it's worth it if a keychain can make you happy."
Later, on her birthday, Xie Lingyin often gave her gifts.
As a result, Wei Chuan saw her by accident.
Life is full of misunderstandings. Meng Tang shook his head, logged into WeChat on his computer, and typed a few words to Wei Chuan: [Do you still want to give me that ornament?]
At first, she was a little reluctant to agree to carve an ornament for Wei Chuan, but later when she learned that the person he liked was Xie Lingyin, she worked hard on the rose.
Wei Chuan has not seen the finished product yet.
But Meng Tang did not hesitate to boast that the petals were layered and thin, and the veins were as slender as gossamer.
What Xie Lingyin liked was not the rose, the Little Prince, or the keychain, but the gift she received at that time. No matter what the gift was, she would cherish it well.
There is no point in Wei Chuan sending the ball again because it is not hitting the target.
But he was not in a hurry and said that it was just like that. Instead, he asked when the bookmark could be repaired.
Meng Tang said three days, and Wei Chuan got anxious: [So it takes three days to repair a crack? ]
Meng Tang: [It will take three days to fully repair it.]
Wei Chuan: [That's still perfect, I want it exactly the same as the original.]
Meng Tang wanted to laugh. She could make it even more beautiful than before. After all, time was tight at the museum, so it was just a rough job.
She asked Wei Chuan: [Do you want to get some drilled accessories?]
Wei Chuan: [Is it okay? Can I add tassels?]
Meng Tang: [Is the tassel nice? If you want it, I'll give it to you in a couple of days. You can see for yourself.]
Wei Chuan: [I want it.]
Meng Tang: [The ornament still needs a base. I'm busy with schoolwork, so I'll give you the finished product next week.]
Wei Chuan replied absentmindedly, but was looking forward to the new bookmark.
