Chapter 2: When flowers are ready to be plucked, they must be plucked 1

Sometimes, liking someone can really blind their eyes. Otherwise, how can one block out those cunning, stingy, and cynical aspects and only see the handsome, tall, sunny and cheerful side?

"Tang Duoduo, let's go to the drama club? Go ahead, go ahead! If you accompany me, I'll accompany you to drink milk tea!"
"don't want."
"Then I'll buy you your favorite bread, okay?"
"not good."
"Okay, let me finally use my ultimate trick! If you go with me, I will buy you the skirt that you like but can't afford!"
This big move brought Tang Duoduo a few seconds of silence, and then she said the same simple two words -
"No."
After trying to persuade her for more than ten minutes without any effect, Chen Jiayuan collapsed on the bed dejectedly, while Tang Duoduo on the upper bunk was still lying down, playing with her phone and reading comics.
The dazzling sunlight shone into the dormitory through the glass windows. Tang Duoduo's small body would get heatstroke and faint after half an hour of sun exposure. It was harder than climbing to the sky for her to go out in such weather.
Chen Jiayuan leaned her head out to look at Tang Duoduo, pouted her lips, slowly got up, put on her shoes and prepared to go out.
Tang Duoduo looked at her like this, and her mind was immediately filled question marks. Normally, if she encountered this kind of situation, Chen Jiayuan would definitely cry, make a scene, and quarrel to force herself to go out with her.
But today, he gave up after just a slight plea.
There must be something fishy here...
Tang Duoduo tilted her head to see what bad idea Chen Jiayuan had.
As expected, Chen Jiayuan turned around slowly as soon as she reached the door and said with a sly smile, "Tang Duoduo, are you sure you don't want to go? Let me tell you, I heard that because the drama this time is very important, Qiao Yuran will go over to help..."
After hearing this, Tang Duoduo realized that Chen Jiayuan’s ultimate move was not the skirt at all, it was obviously Qiao Yuran.
"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll leave..." As she said that, Chen Jiayuan began to move towards the door at a very slow speed.
Tang Duoduo, who was lying on the bed, frowned, then twisted her body reluctantly, and finally said in a vague voice: "Let's go, let's go..."
Chen Jiayuan smiled triumphantly when she learned that her plan had succeeded. While Tang Duoduo was changing clothes, she couldn't help but chatter, "I really don't know what you like about Qiao Yuran. He's not as handsome as Wen Yuanxun. He's not as talented as Wen Yuanxun. He's even worse than Wen Yuanxun in terms of character. Tell me, what's so good about Qiao Yuran?"
Tang Duoduo couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Jiayuan while buttoning her clothes: "You are just prejudiced against Qiao Yuran..."
"I am prejudiced? I have never been prejudiced. You saw what happened a few days ago. You queued up so hard to buy him a collar, but he just gave it away. His character is really...tsk tsk tsk." Chen Jiayuan did not hide her disdain for Qiao Yuran.
Tang Duoduo picked up the parasol, pulled Chen Jiayuan's arm, and said, "He has apologized to me. I believe he definitely didn't mean it. Besides, that collar is indeed more suitable for dogs."
Seeing Tang Duoduo looking like she had no chance of turning back, Chen Jiayuan shook her head helplessly.
Sometimes, liking someone can really blind their eyes. Otherwise, how can one block out those cunning, stingy , and cynical aspects and only see the handsome, tall, sunny and cheerful side?
As soon as she walked into the door of the drama club, Tang Duoduo was stunned by the scene before her. In the spacious rehearsal hall, in front of the red curtain, men and women dressed in European Renaissance fashion were holding manuscripts and reciting lines. Beside them, whether it was the intricately carved golden door curtain decoration or the huge feather lamp hanging above their heads, they seemed to have the magic to allow people to travel back to that era.
"How is it? Shocking, right? I felt the same as you when I first came to the drama club." Chen Jiayuan nudged Tang Duoduo, who was standing there in a daze, with her elbow.
Tang Duoduo came back to her senses and exclaimed: "Yes, yes, the costumes and the setting of the scene don't look like a school troupe, but more like a mature commercial troupe outside!"
"Of course we have to! Do you know this? The drama club of our school is well-known across the country, and has even participated in drama festivals abroad! This time we are rehearsing "Hamlet" to participate in the National College Student Drama Festival." When Chen Jiayuan said this, a hint of pride flashed across her face.
Tang Duoduo nodded rapidly, and couldn't help but keep her eyes on the beautiful clothes. You know, she had no idea about the upcoming fashion design competition.
"Hi, Jiayuan, you're here? By the way, you are Tang Duoduo, right? We met last time." Along with the sweet voice came a faint fragrance. Gu Yu'an had long curly hair like a waterfall, with elegant and delicate makeup, and a long skirt with a mixture of gold and bright red. The white lace on her neck made her look even more beautiful and refined, and the linen long skirt with a wide hem made her look rich and gorgeous.
When Tang Duoduo heard that Gu Yu'an still remembered her name, she was flattered and nodded repeatedly.
"Well, President, did the rehearsal go smoothly today?" Chen Jiayuan asked.
Gu Yu'an smiled sweetly: "Don't keep calling me president. I'm only one year older than you. You can just call me Yu'an. It seems that the External Relations Department needs help with the banner. You can go over and take a look."
"Oh, yes, I haven't made follow-up contact with the sponsor I brought in last time, so I'll go get busy first. Duoduo, just take a look around first!" After saying that, Chen Jiayuan ran away.
After Chen Jiayuan left, Tang Duoduo stood there at a loss. She was unfamiliar with the environment and people, and felt a little anxious.
Fortunately, Gu Yu'an seemed to see through her thoughts and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, you can take a look at it."
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, her eyes fell to the corner of the stage. After seeing a familiar figure, she continued, "By the way, do you know Qiao Yuran? He is here today too."
Hearing that name, Tang Duoduo quickly waved her hands: "No, no..."
But before she could finish, Gu Yu'an shouted to someone not far away: "Qiao Yuran, here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuran, wearing a jersey and looking tired, walked towards him step by step.
"Hey, why are you here?" Seeing Tang Duoduo, Qiao Yuran asked with some confusion.
"You know Duoduo, right? She's bored alone, why don't you keep her company for a while. You guys chat, I 'm going to rehearse first." After saying that, Gu Yu'an walked away holding up her skirt.
Tang Duoduo and Qiao Yuran were left alone. Tang Duoduo felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Hey, did you bring any water?" Qiao Yuran asked Tang Duoduo with a squint.
Tang Duoduo was a little nervous, but the "hello" made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she raised her head and said to Qiao Yuran: "My name is Tang Duoduo, not hello."
These words made Qiao Yuran stunned for a while, and then he showed a wicked smile: "Of course I know your name is Tang Duoduo, otherwise why would I ask you to help me buy a collar."
Hearing this, Tang Duoduo began to be at a loss for words again.
"Can you buy me a bottle of water? I just came here after playing ball and it's so hot." Qiao Yuran said with a frown.
In order to escape from this somewhat awkward atmosphere, Tang Duoduo agreed without thinking, turned around and walked out of the drama club, then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
When she arrived at the school canteen, Tang Duoduo thought that since she had bought water for Qiao Yuran, Gu Yuan and Chen Jiayuan would definitely be thirsty, so she simply bought a few more bottles. Under the scorching sun, when she walked back to the drama club carrying several heavy bottles of water, Tang Duoduo felt that she was about to get a heat stroke. But what she didn't expect was that Qiao Yuran was no longer in the place where they had just chatted. In desperation, Tang Duoduo could only ask other members of the drama club who were busy. One of the girls with very white skin said that Qiao Yuran seemed to be helping to organize the props backstage.
Carrying water to the backstage, Tang Duoduo finally understood what Alice in Wonderland was like. There were all kinds of strange props of all sizes, which made her feel like she had entered another world. While she was admiring the exquisiteness of these props, the phone in her pocket rang.
"Hello, where are you?" Wen Yuanxun's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm in the drama club. I'm here with Chen Jiayuan today." Tang Duoduo put the water on the table beside her and couldn't help touching the props while answering the phone.
"Oh, do you want to have dinner together later?" As soon as Wen Yuanxun finished speaking, Tang Duoduo heard the girls' exclamations coming from the other end of the phone.
This guy must be in the guitar club again. Tang Duoduo nodded: "Okay, then I'll call you when Jiayuan is done with her work, bye." After that, she hung up the phone.
At this moment, all of Tang Duoduo's attention was attracted by the British-style dressing table in front of her. The patterns carved on it were so delicate and elegant. If these elements were used on the costumes for this competition, would it be very novel and unique?
Tang Duoduo's inspiration suddenly burst out, and she couldn't stop. She moved slowly and observed the props around her with a retro British atmosphere. Since the concept of architecture can be introduced into clothing, can she also put these unique patterns with a certain historical period into clothing?
Tang Duoduo was completely immersed in the world of inspiration, with all kinds of patterns and fabrics touching each other, and her mind was full of sparks. What she didn't expect was that a few minutes later, she heard a tearing sound, followed by a sharp scream.
"ah……"
Tang Duoduo came to her senses and found that her feet were stepping on a pile of cloth, and a girl in an overalls was holding the other end of the cloth and looking at her angrily.
Tang Duoduo, who had no idea what was going on, stood there in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Team leader, she stepped on the clothes and ruined them! It was her! She was so blind that she stepped on the clothes and ruined them! This is the clothes of the protagonist Ophelia!" The girl in the suspender skirt cried.
A tall boy in jeans and a white T-shirt appeared. He looked at Tang Duoduo with a serious expression, "Classmate, this costume is very important to us, did you know? We just borrowed it from outside!"
Tang Duoduo, who was scolded, quickly stepped back, waving her hands and apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't see it, I was just fascinated by the props, I really didn't know I stepped on the clothes."
"It would be strange if it wasn't intentional . This dress is so big, and it's piled here. Are you blind to not see it?" The girl in the suspender skirt spoke louder and louder, almost yelling. Her voice also attracted more people.
Tang Duoduo's cheeks suddenly felt hot. If she hadn't been so focused on looking at the props, this wouldn't have happened.
"This dress is the second dress of the heroine in our new play. It is very important to the whole play! Do you know how many places our props team has run to in order to borrow this dress? Now it's because of you! What do you think we should do? You..." The girl in the overalls skirt was about to say something when the boy in the white T-shirt stopped her.
"Classmate, which group are you from? Why are you hanging around in the backstage? Call your team leader over." The boy in the white T-shirt's tone and expression were so serious that it was frightening.
Tang Duoduo lowered her head, not knowing what to do. She bowed repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"What's the use of saying sorry? Tell me! What about the costumes? Do you know how important this play is to our drama club?" The girl in the suspender skirt continued to roar.
Her accusations also caused some discontent among the people around her. Everyone looked at this girl of unknown origin as if she were a criminal.
Tang Duoduo wished there was a crack in the ground so she could quickly crawl into it.
"Duoduo, what's wrong?" Just then, a familiar voice appeared in the crowd.
Chen Jiayuan, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, saw this scene and immediately stood in front of Tang Duoduo: "What's going on? What's going on? How can so many people bully one person?"
"Chen Jiayuan, how can you talk like that! Why do you say we bullied her?" The girl in the suspender skirt was enraged and yelled with a red face and thick neck.
"How is this not bullying?" Chen Jiayuan said as she pushed away Tang Duoduo's hand. "With so many of you besieging her together, isn't this bullying?"
"Jiayuan, we didn't bully her, she ruined her costume." The boy in the white T-shirt spoke, pointing at the very heavy and complicated costume.
Seeing the costume, Chen Jiayuan was speechless. She turned her head slightly and looked at Tang Duoduo with some embarrassment: "How could you ruin this costume..."
Tang Duoduo was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She scratched her head and looked around.
"You have nothing to say now, right? You know how difficult it is to borrow this costume!" The girl in the overalls snorted coldly.
Chen Jiayuan couldn't bear to see her expression, and her tone became a little higher: "What's wrong, what's wrong, we are wrong, but don't you know to keep such an important prop well?"
"What are you talking about? Is it our fault?" The furious girl in the suspender skirt was ready to argue to the end, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about!" The sudden appearance of Gu Yu'an silenced everyone instantly. Following behind her was Qiao Yu'ran, who had a confused look on his face. Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word.
"Hey, Tang Duoduo, I asked you to buy some water, but why did you end up backstage?" Qiao Yuran, completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere, teased Tang Duoduo.
Tang Duoduo was still looking around and ignored him.
"All the actors are rehearsing. If you do this, it will affect everyone. Can anyone tell me what happened?" Gu Yu'an asked seriously.
"President, this girl ruined our costumes." The girl in the overalls skirt spoke first, pointing at Tang Duoduo.
Hearing this, Gu Yu'an's eyes fell on the costume, her brows were tightly furrowed, and the expression on her face froze instantly.
"President, Duoduo really didn't mean it. She must have accidentally ruined her costume because she didn't see it." Chen Jiayuan hurriedly explained, but Gu Yu'an's expression was still a little solemn.
At this moment, Tang Duoduo seemed to have discovered something and said excitedly: "I know! I can fix the costume!"
Hearing this, everyone showed a look of doubt.
"Really, I can really fix it." Tang Duoduo walked to a corner backstage and dug out some discarded curtain cloth and tablecloths. She said again, "The color and texture of these cloths are very similar to the costumes. I can use them to fix the costumes."
"Yes, yes, President. Duoduo is the top student in fashion design at our school. You should believe her. If she says it can be repaired, then it can be repaired. She has made many of my clothes for me!" Chen Jiayuan began to chime in.
Gu Yu'an looked at Tang Duoduo and then at Chen Jiayuan, and said helplessly, "Well, this costume is very important to us, I hope you can fix it."
After getting permission, Tang Duoduo thanked repeatedly and walked towards the costumes with the pile of fabric.
"Do you need any tools? Like a needle, thread or something like that." Gu Yu'an asked.
Tang Duoduo took out a small blue bag from her bag, shook it, and said with a smile: "No, I usually carry it with me."
After saying that, she sat on the ground and started mending it seriously.
"I can't believe that Tang Duoduo is so talented." Looking at the scene in front of him, Qiao Yuran couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Jiayuan glanced at Qiao Yuran unhappily, and said with some disdain: "Of course, there are still many things you don't know!"
Not understanding why Chen Jiayuan always liked to argue with him, Qiao Yuran gave her a look of disdain.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the onlookers dispersed. Most of the remaining people were waiting with the mentality that Tang Duoduo might completely ruin her costumes.
At this time, a figure appeared silently. When Qiao Yuran saw that figure, his eyes became a little alert and defensive, while Chen Jiayuan greeted him enthusiastically.
"Wen Yuanxun, why are you here?"
Wen Yuanxun looked at Tang Duoduo who was busy, and replied calmly: "I just talked to her on the phone, and she said she would have dinner with you guys."
When Gu Yu'an heard Wen Yuanxun's voice, the expression on her face became gentle. She smiled at him and pretended to continue looking at Tang Duoduo.
"What's going on?" Wen Yuan asked.
"It's nothing. Duoduo just accidentally damaged our very important costumes, and now she is trying to fix it. Don't worry, I think with Duoduo's ability, there will be no problem." Chen Jiayuan looked confident in Tang Duoduo.
Wen Yuanxun nodded, and his eyes returned to Tang Duoduo. He still remembered the first day they became deskmates, he was stunned by the large and small scraps of cloth collected in her desk, but after getting along with her, he knew that she could draw amazing fashion manuscripts and turn scraps of cloth into cute little clothes or bags. When choosing a major in the college entrance examination, she resolutely chose fashion design despite her family's opposition. He knew that Tang Duoduo, who looked indifferent and silly on the surface, was actually a very persistent and stubborn girl in her heart.
And this kind of persistence and stubbornness is her greatest charm.
Perhaps others cannot see this kind of charm, but Wen Yuanxun knows it and falls deeply in love with such Tang Duoduo.
"I think Tang Duoduo might have gotten into big trouble today. This dress is so complicated, it's not easy to repair it." There was obviously some contempt in Qiao Yuran's tone.
Wen Yuanxun glanced at Qiao Yuran and said, "It seems that the saying is right, only dogs look down on people." After saying that, Wen Yuanxun turned his gaze to Tang Duoduo again with a cold face.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Qiao Yuran suppressed his anger and did not respond.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Tang Duoduo bit off the thread and lifted up the costume to examine it carefully.
"Okay." A few minutes later, Tang Duoduo said sweetly while holding up the costume.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people present gathered around her.
I saw that the torn marks on the clothes had completely disappeared, and even the defective parts had been repaired one by one.
"Wow! Duoduo, you are so great!" Chen Jiayuan praised.
"Yes, the costume looks even better than before." Gu Yu'an seemed relieved.
"I didn't expect your craftsmanship is so good..." The girl in the overalls skirt also expressed praise.
Tang Duoduo touched her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone this time. Fortunately, it has been repaired, otherwise I don't know how to explain to everyone."
"Duoduo, are you interested in joining our drama club?" Gu Yu'an asked.
Tang Duoduo pointed at herself, somewhat flattered: "Me?"
"I'm interested, of course I'm interested!" Chen Jiayuan hurriedly said, pulling Tang Duoduo's arm and whispering in her ear, "Hurry up and agree to it. You know, it's very difficult to get into the drama club!"
"Join the drama club and the costume group. We welcome you!" Gu Yu'an stretched out her hand.
Tang Duoduo nodded shyly: "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely work hard to contribute."
"Okay, okay, everything is done successfully. We can go to rehearsal now." Qiao Yuran stood up and raised his eyebrows, seeming reluctant to stay in the same space with Wen Yuanxun.
"Let's go and have dinner." Wen Yuanxun ignored Qiao Yuran and said to Tang Duoduo.
"When did you come? What are you going to eat? It's only four o'clock now!" Tang Duoduo's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Wen Yuanxun.
"Wen Yuanxun, do you want to join the drama club? Come and be a music consultant!" Gu Yu'an seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to make this invitation.
Chen Jiayuan quickly agreed: "Yes, when we were rehearsing the play, music was a big problem. You happen to be the president of the guitar club, and I heard you can also play the violin. Can you come here part-time as a music consultant? Our play will use a lot of violin performances."
Before Wen Yuanxun could respond, Qiao Yuran showed a dissatisfied expression and interrupted, "Let's not do it. The drama club has the logistics team to help with the music, and if you really need the position of music consultant, I can also do it!"
"You?" Chen Jiayuan questioned.
Wen Yuanxun, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and responded calmly, "They seem to be asking for my opinion, right? I haven't responded yet, so what's your position to object?"
These words made Qiao Yuran's face turn pale and blue immediately. He responded a little depressed: "I just object, so what! I just don't want to be in the same club with you!"
"Then you can choose to leave." Wen Yuanxun said.
"You! I'm the main player of the school basketball club. Playing music is a piece of cake for me. I can also sing, and I've learned to play drums for a week or two." Qiao Yuran seemed completely crazy.
"One or two weeks, and you have the nerve to say that? You can play drums? Do you understand music?" Chen Jiayuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Qiao Yuran, stop talking and see what Wen Yuanxun thinks. If you really don't want to stay in the drama club, you can leave." Gu Yu'an said.
This remark made Qiao Yuran completely lose his position to speak, and his face became extremely ugly.
Wen Yuanxun's eyes seemed a little empty, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't respond.
Not getting a positive answer, Gu Yu'an quickly added: "I am also a part-time performance consultant for the dance club, so it is no problem for one person to take on the duties of two clubs!"
"Yes, Wen Yuanxun, you are so talented, why don't you join us! This way the three of us can always stay together!" Tang Duoduo also joined the team to help persuade.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Wen Yuanxun's face.
"Stop talking. I don't think Wen Yuanxun wants to be in the same club with me, right? Wen Yuanxun, I'm also a member of the drama club! I'm in charge of logistics, in short, I take care of everything. If you join, we'll see each other every day!"
Qiao Yuran felt that because of what happened a few days ago, Wen Yuanxun might not want to stay with him.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuran felt much more relaxed. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and it is enough for the drama club to have a male god like him.
But what he didn't expect was that Wen Yuanxun had a faint evil smile on his face, and then he said a few words slowly: "Okay, I'll join in too."
This statement was responded with cheers from Chen Jiayuan, Tang Duoduo, and Gu Yu'an, as well as Qiao jaw dropping.
