Chapter 67: Stretch out, I have something for you
Meng Tang screwed the bottle cap on and took out a small wooden box from his bag and handed it over.
The surface was plain and smooth to the touch. Wei Chuan took it with delight and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
Meng Tang said "hmm": "This is the leftover material from last time I carved it for you. See if you like it."
"I like it." Wei Chuan rubbed the wooden box with his fingertips and smiled foolishly.
"You haven't seen it yet." Meng Tang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I like it even if I haven't seen it," Wei Chuan said in a rather arrogant tone, "How can something you make yourself be the same as something you buy?"
If Qin Yuan, who gave him the watch as a gift, heard this, he would probably ask for it back.
Seeing that he liked it, Meng Tang smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."
Wei Chuan waited for a long time, then carefully opened the wooden box and made eye contact with Da Huang, who was squinting his eyes with his head tilted back.
The scene was inexplicably humorous, and Meng Tang chuckled, "Don't look at it like that, it makes you two look alike."
Wei Chuan tilted his head and squinted at her: "Is that so?"
It looks even more like it, Meng Tang couldn't help laughing.
Wei Chuan stroked the big yellow dog's head with his fingertips, his eyes moving to the ends of her eyes and eyebrows, taking in her brilliant smile.
Suddenly, Wei Chuan had a ridiculous idea: she had never laughed like this when chatting with Xu Heqing.
Then he was shocked by his own thoughts. Why did he want to compare this with Xu Heqing?
As if to hide it, Wei Chuan lowered his head and played with the birthday present Meng Tang gave him.
The big yellow dog's body is shiny and smooth, with natural wood grain, and its posture is lovely, with its front paws together as if trying to please.
Wei Chuan is not an expert, otherwise he would be able to see that the treatment of Dahuang's hair is a unique skill of "silk and hair carving", which makes it look lifelike.
Wei Chuan was amazed and asked Meng Tang, "These eyes look so real, what are they embedded in?"
Meng Tang said: "The pupils of the purple sandalwood were created with the 'sand dot method' to create a watery feel."
"The expression is very vivid," Wei Chuan praised. "The drooping curve of the eyes is exactly the same as the pastoral dogs I've seen. How did you carve this for me?"
"Aren't you born in the Year of the Dog?"
"Did you check?"
"Um."
Wei Chuan couldn't suppress the smile that she actually put so much thought into him.
Then it is only right that I care about her.
He put the gift into his bag and cleared his throat. "What did you and Xu Heqing...talk about? I saw you two were having a great time."
Meng Tang was not too happy to talk about it and just thought it was just idle chat.
Hearing her deliberate avoidance, Wei Chuan sneered, "I'm not trying to learn from you. You say you're backing off, but then you turn around and have Xu Heqing chatting with you animatedly. Xie Lingyin and I haven't even had a chance to exchange a single word."
Meng Tang rolled his eyes at him: "Blame me? When we got here, I told you to ask her to sit in the front, but you didn't say a word."
Suddenly became mute.
Wei Chuan laughed dryly: "I can't be distracted while driving."
Meng Tang: “…”
She really couldn't refute it.
"So what did you and Xu Heqing talk about?" Wei Chuan was not giving up. "Tell me."
Meng Tang sighed: "He just thanked me for the donation. I gave her a carved wooden bird, and she liked it very much."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Wei Chuan and said, "Ling Yin knows basketball, but you still need to ask me for advice on a ready-made topic?"
Wei Chuan made an excuse: "I'm shy."
"..." Meng Tang was speechless for a moment, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Wei Chuan smiled at her ingratiatingly.
"In short, basketball is the best topic for you to start with, which will help increase the success rate of your confession."
Wei Chuan felt that something was wrong with him. When Xie Lingyin was mentioned, he did not feel excited or impulsive to confess his feelings, but he said something to Meng Tang and Xu Heqing in a probing manner.
He didn't understand what he was doing, but there was always a force in his heart that drove him to do it.
The phone on the table rang. Wei Chuan glanced at the number and asked casually, "Who is it?"
Meng Tang replied: "Li Hanjin."
The energy came again, Wei Chuan sneered: "Then don't answer it."
Meng Tang answered it.
Wei Chuan: “…”
"Hey... the school has already taken care of it... No, thank you... Sorry, I'm outside... It's Wei Chuan's birthday tonight, and there are a lot of people... Um..."
After she hung up, Wei Chuan muttered, "You didn't see anyone when you were in trouble, why are you calling now?"
Meng Tang didn't want to talk to him about Li Hanjin and said, "I'm going to listen to Lingyin and the others sing."
"I can do that, too." Wei Chuan said, like a child trying to attract the teacher's attention in kindergarten. "Do you want to listen?"
Meng Tang stood up and looked down at him: "Here?"
"I'm just kidding." Wei Chuan said to her with a playful smile, "You go first, I have something to do with the photographer."
He went to ask for photos of tonight.
As soon as the three girls left the KTV room, they heard Shi Lan waving excitedly at Meng Tang:
"Come and see, it's snowing."
It's snowing?
Meng Tang was stunned. Today is Christmas, isn't it too appropriate?
She walked over and stepped onto the corridor with floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the glass, under the street lights, snowflakes were falling, covering the night with a layer of frosting.
Xie Lingyin pointed and said, "Is that the direction of our school?"
Wei Chuan asked for the photo and came over just in time to hear it, so he answered "yes".
Xie Lingyin glanced at the time and said, "It's still early, why don't we walk back?"
"It looks close, but it's not that close on foot." Xu Heqing appeared from behind her. "It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
The hint of desire in Meng Tang's eyes faded a bit. Wei Chuan noticed it and said, "Let's take the subway first. Get off after two stops and it will take about ten minutes to walk to the school."
This is a good idea. Xie Lingyin smiled and nodded: "Let's go now?"
College students always have time and interest in poetry and painting. Wei Chuan made two phone calls and called everyone over.
He threw the car keys to Tian Yu: "If you guys don't want to leave, drive my car back to school."
Big G, Tian Yu and a few others almost got into a fight over who had the car keys.
In the end, Tian Yu took away one wave, Qin Yuan sent away another wave, and only Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing were left with four girls.
All the boys ran away, and Shi Lan complained that they had no romantic talent.
It’s only two subway stops, which is pretty quick.
After coming out, the snow gradually got heavier, and soon a layer of white fell on them.
Meng Tang raised her hand to catch the snowflakes, and each one melted on the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, palms and fingertips.
Wei Chuan lagged behind by himself for a few steps. When he came to his senses, he found an extra photo on his phone.
After being stunned for five seconds, he took a panoramic photo as if to cover up his mistake.
Xie Lingyin saw this on her phone and nudged Meng Tang, "Wei Chuan posted on WeChat Moments."
Meng Tang subconsciously glanced at her hand. Wei Chuan sent two photos, one was a group photo at the entrance of the banquet hall, and the other was a photo of their backs against the snowy night sky.
The copy is: Happy birthday, it’s snowing so heavily!
Meng Tang's eyes went dark. This was the first group photo. Are you sure it won't cause misunderstanding?
She glanced sideways at Xie Lingyin, and seeing that she looked normal, she began to wonder if she was making a fuss out of nothing.
However, Meng Tang understood Wei Chuan's second photo.
Xie Lingyin's back is in the middle of the photo. He took a photo of a group of people for the sake of one person.
It was almost ten o'clock when they returned to school. Wei Chuan and Xu Heqing sent the girls downstairs to the dormitory.
Meng Tang's arm was suddenly touched by someone. She turned her head and looked over. Wei Chuan said to her, "Stretch out your hand."
He spoke in a low voice, as if afraid that others would hear him.
Meng Tang also subconsciously followed in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Wei Chuan said, "Put it out. I have something for you."
Meng Tang stretched out his hand suspiciously, and then his palm felt cold.
Before she could see it, Wei Chuan held her hand tightly and said, "Go back to the dormitory and take a look. Maybe you can guess what it is."
For some unknown reason, Meng Tang did not loosen his fists and continued playing this childish game with him.
