Chapter 44 Exposed
Xie Lingyin was placed on a chair by Shi Lan and Yang Ke. Seeing Meng Tang, Shi Lan pointed upwards helplessly:
“I can’t get it up there, what should I do?”
Meng Tang said, "Wake her up and give her a sip of the brown sugar ginger tea while it's still hot to relieve the pain."
Yang Ke patted Xie Lingyin, and Xie Lingyin dazedly opened her eyes: "I'm back."
"Yes, yes, you're back." Shi Lan helped her up, "Da Lang, take your medicine."
Yang Ke couldn't help but pat Shi Lan's shoulder while laughing.
Meng Tang also smiled and scooped a spoonful to feed Xie Lingyin.
After feeding her, the three of them took great pains to get Xie Lingyin onto the bed.
Meng Tang was already tired, so he fell asleep after washing up. While he was half asleep, he heard a slight noise at the head of the bed.
She opened her eyes and groped in the dark to get her cell phone. It was already half past twelve.
She opened the bed curtain: "Lingyin, are you awake?"
Xie Lingyin replied, "Yeah, my head hurts a bit. I'll go downstairs and get some water."
"Don't move, I'll pour it for you."
"Where's my phone?"
"I'm charging you, wait a moment."
Meng Tang got out of bed and handed her the cell phone and warm water.
Xie Lingyin paused for a moment before asking, "You were the one who brought me back?"
Meng Tang: "Answer me first, why did you go to the bar alone?"
"I had a fight with my family." Xie Lingyin didn't bother to tell Meng Tang about it and upset him. "I was feeling down, so I went out to drink."
"Don't do this next time. It's too dangerous."
"Got it." Xie Lingyin said, "You go to sleep first. I'm going to the bathroom."
Meng Tang responded and closed his eyes.
The next day, Meng Tang returned in the evening again, and the base of the wooden sculpture for Wei Chuan had already been carved.
I thought Xie Lingyin's drunken incident was over, but unexpectedly, Xu Heqing sent her an apology message during the class on Monday.
It’s a very long article, about three hundred words.
After reading it carefully, Meng Tang replied "It's okay" and went to the wood carving studio to install the ornaments and the base.
After checking everything over, she put the things into the box.
There's nothing special about the box; she bought it online.
I don’t know if Wei Chuan has a telepathic connection with his ornaments. Meng Tang had just finished his work when his phone rang.
Meng Tang picked up the phone: "Your phone—"
Wei Chuan interrupted her: "Did Xu Heqing send you a message to apologize this morning?"
"Yeah." Meng Tang leaned his phone against the cabinet, took his coat and put it on. "Can you tell him not to apologize anymore?"
Wei Chuan: "He called me and said you didn't reply to him."
Meng Tang wrapped the scarf around his neck and said, "I replied. I said it's okay."
Wei Chuan: "He said he wanted to treat you to a meal, but you didn't respond."
Meng Tang opened WeChat and indeed found Xu Heqing's follow-up message. She sniffed and said:
"I didn't see it. My phone was in my bag. Tell him I'm not angry and ask him to stop."
"Okay." Wei Chuan also left the training hall. "From the sound of your voice, you seem to have a cold."
After being exposed to the cold wind for a long time on the street where the bar was located on Saturday night, she started to have a runny nose the next morning.
Meng Tang straightened his scarf and said, "It's okay. Your ornament is ready. I'll send it to you."
"I'll come find you," Wei Chuan quickened his pace, "Which cafeteria are you going to?"
"I'm going to the cafeteria in the south."
After dinner, she went back to the dormitory to take medicine.
The South Canteen was next to the training hall. Wei Chuan said, "Then I'll wait for you at the canteen door."
"good."
The north and south canteens of Z University are at both ends of the main road. The trees on both sides of the road are withered and colorless.
Wei Chuan didn't even play with his cell phone. He put his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance, looking careless and bored.
Girls passing by can't help but look at him, and the rate of turning heads is very high.
Meng Tang slowly came into Wei Chuan's sight, her fair face half hidden by the blue plaid scarf.
She saw Wei Chuan and handed the wood carving to him: "Take it, it's cold."
Wei Chuan glanced at her: "You are wearing too little."
"Quite a few." Meng Tang walked past him and entered the cafeteria.
The food got cold after a while, so Meng Tang bought some noodles and ate some hot ones.
Wei Chuan held the box tightly, fearing that it would be bumped into by some ignorant person.
He sat down opposite Meng Tang, put his bag and box aside, and turned around to buy a bowl of noodles with two eggs.
After sitting down again, he took out his phone and said, "How much is the wood carving? I'll transfer it to you."
Meng Tang said: "This is second-level material, just give me 600."
After working for so long, and having been delayed for a month due to injury, Wei Chuan paused and asked, "Really only 600?"
Meng Tang nodded.
Wei Chuan transferred six hundred yuan to Meng Tang, who took it directly.
"Don't tell anyone after reading this. I'm really afraid someone will ask me to do work again. I really don't have time."
Wei Chuan chuckled: "I know, I won't show off."
Meng Tang paused his chopsticks and whispered, "You are quite self-aware."
Wei Chuan argued: "I have a clear understanding of myself."
Meng Tang couldn't argue with him, so he left after eating.
Many of the scenery at Z University are unique. Wei Chuan kept Meng Tang's instructions in mind, found an empty spot by the lake, and carefully opened the wooden box.
The sun shines down, and the gentle light soaks into the wood carvings in the wooden box, and the honey-colored luster flows gently.
Wei Chuan almost forgot to breathe, it was so beautiful!
The knife marks have smooth transitions and the lines are lively.
Wei Chuan touched the basketball and was surprised by the rough feeling of the grain on his fingertips. He stroked it with his fingertips again, and the basketball actually spun a circle.
"Fuck." He blurted out subconsciously, "Can you still move?"
He was like a child who had got a toy and couldn't let it go, fiddling with it.
Looking at the young man again, his clothes have natural folds and his expression is content, which perfectly captures his demeanor.
Wei Chuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Am I that arrogant?"
After admiring it for half an hour, Wei Chuan asked his coach for two hours' leave and personally delivered the wood carving back home.
The whole family was busy, and only the aunt who had taken care of him since he was a child came up to greet him: "Why are you back?"
Wei Chuan pointed to the things on the bedside table and said, "Auntie, don't let anyone touch it. You have to clean the room yourself and take pictures for me to check every day."
"……knew."
Maltese pushed the door open enthusiastically. Although Wei Chuan was disgusted, he still picked him up and rubbed him.
He took out his phone, took a selfie while holding the dog, and sent it to Meng Tang: [Look, the Maltese I told you about.]
Wearing a purple hairpin and a small skirt, with a pearl necklace hanging around her neck, Meng Tang replied: [Very cute.]
Wei Chuan: [Very spoiled.]
Meng Tang was about to reply, but suddenly clicked on the photo to enlarge it.
Only a corner of it was exposed, but Meng Tang would never make a mistake. The wooden sculpture placed on Wei Chuan's bedside was the one she gave him at noon.
Wasn't he going to confess his feelings? Why bring him home?
Meng Tang typed on his phone: [There's still more than a month left before winter break. You said you'd confess once you got the wood carving, so why did you bring it home?]
Wei Chuan looked back and was shocked. He was exposed!
