Chapter 48 Ignore
Meng Tang did have this idea. She didn't think she had to pursue someone just because she had a little affection for him.
Her silence made Wei Chuan feel heavy in his heart.
However, after having a meal with Li Hanjin, even Xu Heqing gave up.
The relationship they had had for more than ten years was like a shadow that Meng Tang couldn't get rid of.
Impulse took over, and Wei Chuan asked sourly, "Is he really just your senior brother?"
Meng Tang's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"
Wei Chuan hesitated and said, "How do you treat him..."
Meng Tang found it ridiculous that Li Hanjin and Wei Chuan actually suspected each other of having an affair.
Meng Tang's expression turned cold and he turned and left.
Wei Chuan strode after him: "Meng Tang."
Meng Tang was really angry this time, and let Wei Chuan chase her to the dormitory door without saying a word to him.
Wei Chuan returned to the dormitory in a daze.
"Brother Chuan." Tian Yu greeted him attentively when he saw him, "Have you finished your business?"
Wei Chuan said "hmm" perfunctorily and didn't care why Tian Yu was here.
He threw his phone on the table and picked up the koi bookmark, flipping through it.
"Why are you still not happy now that you've done it?" Xu Heqing came in from the balcony and walked around behind Wei Chuan.
Seeing that he was still holding his flowers and plants, Wei Chuan was speechless and felt that he was the one who was anxious while the emperor was not.
But Meng Tang's retreat left a hint of hidden joy in his heart, which made him dare not delve into it further.
Wei Chuan glanced at him faintly: "You don't understand."
Xu Heqing: "...If you don't tell me, how can I understand?"
Wei Chuan stared at Xu Heqing and gradually straightened his back. He and Meng Tang had quarreled because of Xu Heqing.
Xu Heqing took a step back: "Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
Wei Chuan suddenly stood up and put his arm around Xu Heqing's neck: "Let's go to the balcony and talk."
Xu Heqing struggled: "The air conditioner is on in the room, why don't you chat? Go out and get some fresh air?"
Wei Chuan relied on his height to forcibly drag the person to the balcony, then turned around and closed the door neatly.
Wei Chuan hid the fact that Meng Tang had a crush on Xu Heqing and told the story again.
Xu Heqing glanced at him sideways and smiled ambiguously.
"Fuck," Wei Chuan rubbed his goosebumps, "What are you laughing at?"
"Are you annoyed that Meng Tang quarreled with you?" Xu Heqing looked like an experienced person.
"Of course not." Wei Chuan retorted excitedly, "She... isn't anyone of mine. We can have a fight if we want to. I just think that Li Hanjin is not a good person."
"You're being quite arbitrary. They're senior and junior brothers and sisters. They've been together for over a decade. How can you just give up on them?"
"Meng Tang has nothing to do with him." Wei Chuan was afraid that Xu Heqing would misunderstand. "She was just angry because I said something similar to you."
Xu Heqing thought Wei Chuan was really stupid. Meng Tang clearly liked him, but he suspected that she was having an affair with Li Hanjin. Wasn't it normal for him to be angry?
Xu Heqing nudged Wei Chuan with his elbow: "I'm saying, have you gone crazy playing basketball?"
Wei Chuan looked confused: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if you still want her to be your female...friend," Xu Heqing suddenly changed the subject in view of Wei Chuan's stubbornness, "you have to learn to apologize and coax her first."
"How do you coax her?"
"A few days ago, Xie Lingyin got drunk and I accidentally injured Meng Tang, but you managed to comfort her well, didn't you?"
"Who, who coaxed me?" Wei Chuan stiffened his neck. "But I really shouldn't have said that. It's just an apology, so I just said it."
"Alas, even rotten wood can be carved."
Wei Chuan's mood suddenly brightened. He turned around, took out his phone and sent a message to Meng Tang, asking her if she had slept.
It was just past ten o'clock. Normally, college students wouldn't go to bed at this time.
But for Meng Tang, it’s not necessarily the case.
Wei Chuan scratched his head and wanted to solve this problem tonight, but he was afraid that Meng Tang would really fall asleep and disturb her rest.
I held the phone all night, and no one responded the next day.
Meng Tang took a look at it, muted the phone and threw it into his bag, not even taking it out for lunch.
After coming out of the restoration laboratory, she received a call from Chen Xunli.
It is said that Li Hanjin learned that she was restoring wood carvings and wanted to observe, and Chen Xunli also informed the director.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Tang sat down on the steps in front of the restoration laboratory.
In the past, she and Li Hanjin helped each other in life and learned from each other in skills.
Although he started learning a few years later than her, he was on par with her and was even praised by the old man. If he had started learning a few years earlier, he would have been several times better than her.
Meng Tang knew that she was a girl and lacked wrist strength, so she practiced hard since she was young.
Although she had a wooden personality, she was still bothered by the old man's words.
Even now, she is still curious, if Li Hanjin had not left the Meng family, what peak would his skills have reached?
Meng Tang couldn't help but take out his cell phone and called Li Hanjin.
She also wanted to see if he had become several times more powerful than her in four years.
After eating in the cafeteria, Meng Tang stood directly at the door of the restoration room waiting for Li Hanjin.
After entering, Li Hanjin's eyes lit up.
This medium-sized wood sculpture has been restored and is a top-notch masterpiece in terms of proportion, charm, detail and craftsmanship.
He turned around and joked, "If I don't win the gold medal, call my senior brother and I'll definitely destroy the organizer's reputation."
Meng Tang: "...After four years, you've become a fan of the aesthetics of violence?"
Li Hanjin chuckled: "Just a joke."
Meng Tang made room for him a little: "Look."
Li Hanjin paused for a moment and said, "This wooden sculpture of yours is the perfect size for viewing on a table. The blind monk has his legs crossed three-quarters in front of the waterfall, seemingly meditating, but actually listening to the zither."
"Look at this pine branch, hollowed out and with some extensions left, and you'll know you've fully grasped the toughness of this wood."
"The folds of the figure's clothing move with the wind, and five gossamer carvings demonstrate the lightness and agility of the clothing in this context."
“…”
Li Hanjin reviewed Meng Tang's work from beginning to end.
There was nothing wrong. Meng Tang pursed her lips and asked him to talk about the repair details.
Li Hanjin talked about scratch and crack repair techniques, optical compensation, and texture forgery... What she said coincided with what she was doing in repairing.
Meng Tang looked at Li Hanjin with a complicated look in his eyes.
She once treated him as a brother and a family member, but more importantly, as a respectable rival.
Facts have proved that the old man was right, Li Hanjin is indeed gifted.
After leaving the restoration room, Meng Tang rejected Li Hanjin's invitation and went to the canteen alone, but stood in front of the shelves for a long time without thinking.
She was unwilling, but convinced.
Someone next to her asked her if she wanted to buy anything. Meng Tang finally came back to her senses and picked up a box of potato chips from the shelf. When she turned around to pay, her eyes fell on the beer.
She took a bottle for some unknown reason.
The checkout lady looked at Meng Tang suspiciously and asked, "Did you get the wrong one?"
"Ah?" Meng Tang subconsciously wanted to go back and change, but was held down by a big hand.
"You got it right."
Meng Tang turned his head and saw a handsome smiling face.
"I bought this for my boyfriend. It's 12. Please scan the code."
"He's not—"
"Let me do it." Wei Chuan quickly scanned the code.
There were students queuing up to pay behind him. Wei Chuan put his phone in his pocket, grabbed Meng Tang's wrist and ran out.
