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

Since joining the drama club, Tang Duoduo's life has become extremely busy. In order to complete the work for the costume competition on the specified date, she made up her mind and stayed up all night and all morning. Although the workload was very heavy, she smiled with satisfaction when she looked at the work presented on the manuscript paper.
Pushing open the door of the classroom, she was surrounded by golden sunlight.
Tang Duoduo stretched her body, thinking that she must go to the dormitory to catch up on some sleep. But just as this thought came to her mind, the phone in her pocket rang.
"Hello, is this Tang Duoduo?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very familiar. Tang Duoduo answered with some doubt: "Yes, you are..."
"I'm Qiao Yuran."
"Ah...Qiao Yuran." Tang Duoduo was a little flustered when she heard this name.
"Are you free now? Please do me a favor." Qiao Yuran's tone sounded quite confident.
"Are you free? What's going on?" Tang Duoduo really couldn't think of how she could help. Did she have to queue up to buy things again?
"Aren't you studying fashion design? Last time the costume was broken, you fixed it right away. You seem pretty good at it! Our team wants to get a uniform. Can you come over and help design it?"
It turns out it is related to my major.
Tang Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and agreed: "Okay, then I'll come find you, where are you?"
"The school basketball court." Qiao Yuran replied.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Duoduo immediately walked towards the basketball court.
Since joining the drama club, she has had more opportunities to spend time with Qiao Yuran than before, but she doesn't know if it's because they are all busy, so they don't interact much. However, at this time when she needed help, Qiao Yuran actually thought of her, and Tang Duoduo felt very happy.
After arriving at the basketball court, Qiao Yuran and the members of the basketball team were practicing. It was quite pleasing to the eyes to see such a group of tall and handsome boys sweating profusely on the court.
After a period of training, Qiao Yuran noticed Tang Duoduo who was waiting for him, so he called another tall boy to walk towards her.
"Duoduo, this is our captain Ding Chao." Qiao Yuran began to introduce them as soon as they met.
"Hello, Senior Ding." Tang Duoduo bowed respectfully.
Ding Chao looked at the timid and shy Tang Duoduo with a puzzled expression on his face: "Qiao Yuran, the top student in the fashion design department you mentioned is not this girl, right?"
Qiao Yuran stood beside Tang Duoduo, put his arm around her shoulders, and said confidently, "Yes, Captain, it's her. Don't be fooled by her short stature, but she has a solid foundation in design!"
Tang Duoduo's heart started beating rapidly after being praised by Qiao Yuran.
Ding Chao nodded doubtfully: "Okay, then you try it." After that, he took the two of them to a small office next to the basketball court.
"There is paper and pen here. You can draw the design first." Ding Chao said.
"Duoduo, take your time to draw, don't rush. As for our team uniform, it's better to have bright colors so that it can be easily recognized, and the patterns should be the same as all basketball uniforms, so it doesn't need to be too fancy. But the reason why we didn't buy it outside is because we want to have our school's characteristics, and it would be best if the basketball jersey had a special logo." Qiao Yuran added.
Tang Duoduo nodded and smiled at the two of them: "Okay, give me an hour."
"One hour?" Ding Chao still had an expression of disbelief on his face. "Are you sure one hour is enough?"
"Well, that's enough." Tang Duoduo nodded.
"Okay, Qiao Yuran, let's continue practicing!" After saying that, Ding Chao called Qiao Yuran to practice together.
After Qiao Yuran made a cheering gesture to Tang Duoduo, he walked out of the office.
Tang Duoduo confidently said that she could finish the design in just one hour because she had been helping the school's basketball club draw uniform designs since high school. So for her, this task couldn't be easier.
Outlining, priming, coloring, everything was done with ease. In less than an hour , Tang Duoduo finished the design. In the remaining time, she took out her mobile phone and played with it. After playing for a while, she found that there was an unread message in WeChat.
She opened the message and saw that it was sent by Wen Yuanxun at 2 a.m. What was even more bizarre than the time was the content of the message. There was not a single word in the message, only a simple comma.
"What the hell?" Tang Duoduo couldn't help but mutter.
"How's the painting going?" Qiao Yuran and the basketball team appeared.
Tang Duoduo picked up the drawing and waved it at him.
The first person to take it was team leader Ding Chao. After seeing the draft, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
The team uniform is designed in orange, which is eye-catching and shows the vitality of the entire team. Knitted to enhance the overall texture. In addition to the necessary digital logos on the uniform, there is also a logo consisting of two eagles on the left chest.
This was exactly the uniform he had wanted. He praised her repeatedly, "Qiao Yuran is great. She actually knows such an amazing girl. The one in the drawing is exactly what I wanted. I also like the orange color. And this logo is so cool!"
After hearing the praise, other members of the basketball team also took the drawings and passed them around to look at.
"Hey, don't break it, don't break it!" Ding Chao warned anxiously.
Qiao Yuran walked to Tang Duoduo's side, and his usual cynical tone became more serious: "Tang Duoduo, thank you!"
"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it." Tang Duoduo didn't expect her work to be so popular. She seemed a little shy and touched her head awkwardly.
After everyone had finished looking at the drawings, Ding Chao gathered everyone together and said, "To thank Duoduo for designing such a beautiful uniform for us, how about we treat her to a meal together?"
"Okay, of course." Everyone agreed in unison.
Tang Duoduo had no way to refuse and could only agree.
As soon as the group of people walked out of the school gate, they saw Chen Jiayuan and Wen Yuanxun walking towards them. Seeing Tang Duoduo and Qiao Yuran together, Wen Yuanxun's face suddenly darkened.
"Tang Duoduo, aren't you doing your fashion homework? Why are you with this weirdo?" Chen Jiayuan asked first.
"Chen Jiayuan, why do you always target me? Who do you say is the weirdo?" Qiao Yuran looked a little unhappy.
"Duoduo, are they all your friends?" Ding Chao asked when he saw this situation.
Before Tang Duoduo could answer, Wen Yuanxun stepped forward and nodded: "Wen Yuanxun from the Guitar Club."
"Captain, he is Wen Yuanxun who easily took care of Qiao Yuran last time." The team members around him began to agree.
"It's you! Welcome to join the basketball club! Since we know each other, do you want to have dinner together?" Ding Chao made an invitation.
When Qiao Yuran heard this, he immediately rushed out and said, "Forget it. We are not that familiar with each other. It would be so awkward to have a meal together..."
"Are you feeling embarrassed because you lost the game? Losers tend to be psychologically fragile." A sly gleam flashed in Wen Yuanxun's eyes.
"There was no winner or loser in the last match. Let's have another one if you have the guts! I promise to make you convinced this time." Qiao Yuran was obviously not convinced.
Captain Ding Chao looked at Qiao Yuran who was so angry and said immediately: "Okay, Qiao Yuran, don't embarrass yourself. Losing is losing. Classmate Wen, do you want to go eat together?"
"If he goes, I won't go." Qiao Yuran began to threaten again.
"Then classmate Qiao, please go back to the dormitory and eat by yourself. Let's go." Wen Yuanxun said to Ding Chao, "Thank you for the invitation, Captain Ding."
"No thanks, no thanks. We in the basketball team are all grown men, and we also want to hang out with you literary youngsters." Ding Chao said.
Qiao Yuran, who was left alone by everyone, was so angry that his head was about to smoke.
"Does Wen Yuanxun always go against me?" he yelled with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing Qiao Yuran's angry look, Chen Jiayuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Qiao Yuran, I advise you to give up. No matter in terms of talent or character, you can never compare to Wen Yuanxun. You will never have any glory in front of him." After leaving this sentence, Chen Jiayuan also followed Wen Yuanxun's pace.
"What? I can't beat him!" Qiao Yuran followed a group of people angrily, muttering.
He didn't understand why Wen Yuanxun always went against him, but after watching Tang Duoduo and Wen Yuanxun being intimate, and seeing Wen Yuanxun's seemingly casual but actually caring little actions, he felt like he understood something.
A somewhat evil idea gradually emerged in his mind.
Who said that he couldn't beat Wen Yuanxun? Just with this one point, he could definitely beat him!
"Tang Duoduo, am I doing this right? Can you help me check it out?"
"Tang Duoduo, I can help with this, too. I'll go with you later."
"Tang Duoduo, do you want to eat something together? I have a lot of snacks here."
Ever since the last team uniform design incident, Qiao Yuran has been clinging to Tang Duoduo like a piece of plaster, and the two can almost be described as inseparable in the drama club.
Chen Jiayuan, who was also helping out in the drama club, and Wen Yuanxun, who was beside her, watched all this with different expressions on their faces. Chen Jiayuan found it a little hard to understand, while Wen Yuanxun felt slightly angry .
"Qiao Yuran and Duoduo seem to be on good terms recently." Gu Yu'an appeared out of nowhere and said to the two of them.
"Yes, this Qiao Yuran must have some intention." Chen Jiayuan's intuition told her that things would not be that simple.
"Qiao Yuran may just simply like Duoduo more, but it seems that Duoduo also likes Qiao Yuran very much. These two people are quite a match." Gu Yu'an said.
After he finished speaking, Wen Yuanxun's expression became even uglier. Looking at Tang Duoduo and Qiao Yuran who were chatting happily, and thinking about what Gu Yu'an said, it was as if a fire was burning in his heart, and the flames were burning his body and his reason.
Seeing Wen Yuanxun's expression becoming more and more subtle, Gu Yu'an smiled faintly. She continued, "I think it's only a matter of time before they get together. At first, I only knew that Duoduo liked Qiao Yuran, but after spending some time together, Qiao Yuran seems to have feelings for Duoduo too!"
Chen Jiayuan stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes: "Tang Duoduo's liking for Qiao Yuran is just a temporary interest. She may not like him anymore in a few days. Besides, I really don't see what's good about Qiao Yuran."
Gu Yu'an smiled and said, "Okay, finish your work first. I'm going to rehearse." Then she walked away twisting her body.
Chen Jiayuan nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to get busy, she noticed the change in Wen Yuanxun's expression: "Hey, why are you still standing here? Didn't you say that the guitar club has something to do? Why don't you leave?"
Wen Yuanxun did not respond, his eyes fell on Tang Duoduo and Qiao Yuran not far away.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it. Qiao Yuran ignored Duoduo before, but now he has become so attentive. He must have some intention."
Wen Yuanxun nodded with a somewhat angry look, then turned and left.
Looking at Wen Yuanxun's leaving back, Chen Jiayuan shook her head helplessly.
When flowers are in bloom, pick them; don’t wait until there are no more flowers to pluck…
When will Wen Yuanxun start to take action?
Do we really want Tang Duoduo to be with that annoying Qiao Yuran?
Oh my God! She must be the first one to speak out against it!
