Chapter 94 We have always been fake, haven't we?
Why are you asking this suddenly?
Wei Chuan asked what he was thinking.
Meng Tang didn't avoid the question at all and said, "I just want to know. If you don't want to answer, I'll pretend I never asked."
"No, I don't want to answer," Wei Chuan said hastily. "I was attracted to Xie Lingyin because of her looks. I thought I liked girls with her looks, but I've never met her."
"I have actually considered the question you asked me, and I have considered it very seriously."
"Whether two people can get along well or not depends on their personalities. I think even without Xu Heqing, I wouldn't be able to get along with her."
"I only noticed her because of Tian Yu and the others' ridiculous teasing. I had done pretty well in the competition at the time, and I was a little flattered. Tian Yu and the others were dating, and they were bullying me, so I just said I liked Xie Lingyin."
"But because I know you, I've dealt with her a few times and found that I don't have any feelings for her."
"I'm now—"
"Okay." Meng Tang interrupted him, "I know the answer. Time is almost up. I have to go."
"Meng Tang." Wei Chuan called her, "I don't like her now, I really don't."
Meng Tang said "hmm", grabbed his luggage and quickly went to the waiting hall.
After getting in the car, my heart was still pounding.
I almost missed the bus just now and ran all the way here.
At 11:35, Meng Tang got off the car.
Wei Chuan's message came in a rush, asking her if she had arrived.
Meng Tang smiled and replied: [Arrived, going to get a taxi.]
Before she could get a taxi, Meng Huaizhang called and said he was waiting for her at the exit.
Meng Tang was stunned for a moment, went to the exit, and returned home with Meng Huaizhang.
When I got home, the yard was brand new and spotlessly clean everywhere.
Meng Tang said to Sister Fang, "Why don't you wait for me to clean up with you?"
Sister Fang smiled and said, "Your father cleaned it up."
Meng Tang was surprised for a moment. It was so clean?
Meng Huaizhang smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Meng Tang nodded.
Meng Huaizhang was a little excited: "Then go back to your room and rest after dinner. You must be tired from the car ride."
"Um."
Meng Tang returned to the room, charged his phone, and couldn't help but open a certain audio app.
The first recommended video was actually Tian Yu, probably because she followed Wei Chuan.
She clicked the like button and was about to swipe past it when she accidentally clicked on the title and saw the date the video was shot - January 21st.
Meng Tang was stunned, and then he finally saw the content clearly - Brother Chuan is not here, let's have a dinner together.
Wei Chuan is not here?
Didn’t he say that No. 21 has been training at school?
Tian Yu posted videos very frequently. Meng Tang clicked on his profile picture and finally discovered a fact: the school team had half a day off every Sunday, not half a day off every half month as Wei Chuan said.
The phone fell on the bedside, and Meng Tang's expression became petrified.
On the 21st, when she picked up Meng Huaizhang, what she saw was either an illusion or Wei Chuan!
Meng Tang felt a sudden chill all over his body. Wei Chuan must have known about it, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding from him and denying that he had been to Yanqing.
She got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to the workshop in the north yard.
Meng Yuchun was making clay sculptures. He caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye but didn't stop.
Meng Tang sat down and said, "Grandpa, there's a boy who seems to like me."
Meng Yuchun smiled and said, "You said the same thing to me when you were in your second year of high school."
After a while, Meng Tang whispered, "This time is a little different."
"Not quite the same." Meng Yuchun stopped moving. "How is it different? Because you like him too?"
Meng Tang said, "I'm not sure."
All the confusions she encountered since childhood were answered by Meng Yuchun.
So she came directly to the North Courtyard, hoping to get an answer.
Meng Yuchun smiled and said, "There is nothing uncertain in this world."
Meng Tang was stunned. What does this mean?
"You're not sure because you still have concerns. As long as you eliminate those concerns, everything will be solved."
concern?
A glimmer of light flashed across Meng Tang's eyes. Yes, she had concerns, big concerns.
"Tell me, are you not sure if the one named Wei Chuan?" Meng Yuchun had sharp eyes and started teasing his granddaughter.
Since it has been said, there is nothing wrong with admitting it, Meng Tang nodded.
"The first time he came to my house, I felt that he treated you differently."
He was stunned again. When Wei Chuan came to visit for the first time, Xu Heqing was also there.
“Grandpa, Xu Heqing was there at the time. How can you be sure that Wei Chuan treated me differently?”
Meng Yuchun laughed: "Are you stupid? That classmate Xu obviously likes the girl you brought back."
"Xie Lingyin?" Meng Tang asked in surprise.
Meng Yuchun: "That's right."
It’s amazing!
Meng Tang glared. If she had discussed this matter with the old man earlier, she and Wei Chuan would not have had to take such a big detour, right?
After Meng Tang returned to the room, he sat in front of the window in a daze.
It was no longer appropriate for her and Wei Chuan to continue being a fake couple. At the very least, they both had to be aware of this.
That night, Meng Tang had a dream he hadn't had in a long time.
In the dream, only one sentence was clearest: "Her father is in jail. How can I possibly like her if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"
"You said you wanted to confess a few days ago."
"Tsk, just a joke, how could I possibly like her?"
Meng Tang couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he played with his phone until dawn and even took a screenshot of Tian Yu's post on the 21st.
After breakfast, she sent the picture to Wei Chuan and said, "I saw you that day."
It was already past noon when Wei Chuan received the voice message.
He jumped up from the bed, his heart pounding and his hands trembling as he called Meng Tang.
But he was hung up on, obviously angry.
Wei Chuan quickly replied with voice:
"Listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just felt it was inappropriate to show up at that time."
Wei Chuan spoke in a very urgent tone and at a fast pace.
Meng Tang replied, "Tell me everything about your visit to Yanqing."
Wei Chuan didn't dare to hide anything and confessed everything:
"Your phone was broken and I hadn't contacted you for a few days. I was so worried. I finally had half a day, so I thought I'd come over to see you. After all, our places aren't far away."
"When I received your message, I also got in the car. When I arrived at your door, I saw you guys leaving, and for some reason, I made the driver follow you."
"That man looked a bit like you. I guessed his identity and immediately asked the driver to turn back."
"How could I possibly appear before you in that situation?"
Meng Tang smiled, his voice very light: "Thank you for protecting my self-esteem."
Wei Chuan panicked: "Meng Tang, I really don't mean anything else."
"Someone once said the same thing to you." Meng Tang's tone was a little confused and cold. "Wei Chuan, let's just be friends. There's only a month left before school starts. There's no point in delaying it any longer."
When a relationship stagnates, someone needs to take the initiative to break it up.
She also didn't want to stay in this haze forever.
She exposed everything in front of Wei Chuan, and he had to either accept it or stay away.
Wei Chuan's blood froze: "What do you mean?"
"We've been pretending all along, haven't we?" Meng Tang said calmly, "I'm just trying to make things right."
Is this a breakup?
