Chapter 3: Sad and Confused Virgo 1
The only people who are more likely to be entangled than Virgos are probably poor Virgos...
"This Qiao Yuran must have some conspiracy. Wen Yuanxun, are you going to do anything about it?" Chen Jiayuan said angrily when Qiao Yuran once again followed Tang Duoduo in a flattering manner.
She really couldn't understand. She had explained it very clearly last time, but Wen Yuanxun didn't do anything except look a little unhappy.
Is this guy really not afraid that Tang Duoduo will be abducted by a guy like Qiao Yuran?
"Jiayuan, go tell Duoduo that my hand that was injured when I played basketball last time seems to be hurting again." Wen Yuanxun said lightly while touching his guitar.
Hearing this, Chen Jiayuan said worriedly, "No way, Wen Yuanxun, your hand hasn't healed yet? Isn't there going to be a competition in a few days? What should we do if your hand is injured?"
Wen Yuanxun raised his head and looked at Chen Jiayuan speechlessly, then stretched out his hand and played a short piece of music fluently.
After listening to the song, Chen Jiayuan showed a sly smile, snapped her fingers, and said with some complacency in her tone: "I understand, I completely understand, Wen Yuanxun, ah Wen Yuanxun, you are really a black-bellied man! Don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely rescue Tang Duoduo from Qiao Yuran's mud pit."
After saying that, Chen Jiayuan ran to the backstage with a somewhat excited step.
Wen Yuanxun, who was waiting there, clenched his fists and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as Chen Jiayuan arrived backstage, she saw Tang Duoduo concentrating on checking her costumes. Qiao Yuran, her follower, was standing beside her and said with a smile, "Duoduo, let's have lunch together later. I want to eat braised lion's head."
"Okay, let's call Jiayuan and Wen Yuanxun to join us later." Tang Duoduo answered casually.
"Forget it, let's just eat together." Qiao Yuran refused directly.
"Come on, I don't really want to have dinner with you." With that, Chen Jiayuan started acting and ran to Tang Duoduo's side, her tone filled with anxiety, "Duoduo, Duoduo, ah..."
"Jiayuan, what's wrong?" Tang Duoduo was a little confused when she saw Chen Jiayuan's uncharacteristic behavior.
"Let me tell you, I just saw Wen Yuanxun's hands were still in pain when he was playing the piano. Do you want to go over and take a look? Oh, I think it must be because of the injury he got from playing basketball last time that hasn't healed yet. It's all because of you, so I'm afraid you have to take some responsibility and take care of him, right?" Chen Jiayuan deliberately said it as if it was very serious.
Tang Duoduo put down the costume in her hand and said in a serious tone: "No way, I saw him playing guitar quite well a few days ago."
"How can you be sure about this kind of thing? Who knows... there might be an incubation period or something like that..." Chen Jiayuan's voice became a little hesitant, and it seemed that she found it difficult to justify herself.
"You're just making it up. I was injured at the same time as him. I'm fine now, nothing happened." Qiao Yuran made a shooting gesture, his tone sounding a little unconvincing.
"That's because you have a unique bone structure." Chen Jiayuan rolled her eyes.
Tang Duoduo packed her bag and said, "I'll go see him." Then she walked out of the backstage.
Chen Jiayuan immediately followed him out, and Qiao Yuran wanted to follow but was stopped: "Qiao Yuran, I think there is nothing for you to do now, right? You can stay by yourself."
Looking at Chen Jiayuan, Qiao Yuran showed a helpless expression. This Chen Jiayuan was clearly trying to exclude him. He thought that if he wanted to make Wen Yuanxun unhappy, he had to get closer to Tang Duoduo...
Tang Duoduo, who had already rushed to the rehearsal room, looked at Wen Yuanxun who was stroking the violin case and asked nervously, "Wen Yuanxun, Chen Jiayuan said that your injury from last time hasn't healed yet?"
Wen Yuanxun looked at Tang Duoduo. Chen Jiayuan, who was standing behind her, was trying hard to wink at him. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, the doctor said before that you should rest well, not do strenuous exercise, and don't lift heavy objects."
After saying that, Wen Yuanxun's eyes fell on the guitar case beside him, and then he continued: "When I was lifting the guitar just now, I accidentally hurt my old injury again, so it hurts a little."
Tang Duoduo picked up the guitar without thinking: "Then you must have a good rest. I will help you carry the guitar every day from now on!"
Seeing that the conspiracy had succeeded, Wen Yuanxun and Chen Jiayuan both showed victorious smiles on their faces, but compared to Chen Jiayuan, Wen Yuanxun's expression seemed much more restrained.
"Really? You should help Wenyuan find the zither every day. After all, his hand was injured because of you, right?" Chen Jiayuan continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Of course. Wen Yuanxun, whenever you need someone to carry your piano, just give me a call and I'll show up right away, okay? We've known each other for so many years, but this is the first time I feel like you actually need me." Tang Duoduo looked up and said innocently.
Wen Yuanxun's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded: "Yes, I have known you for so many years, and I didn't expect that although you are stupid, you are still somewhat useful."
Tang Duoduo was a little angry: "Wen Yuanxun, I was kind enough to help you move the piano, but you insulted me."
Wen Yuanxun reached out and touched Tang Duoduo's head, his tone somewhat doting: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you any more. I'll have to trouble you to help me move the piano in the future!"
"That's more like it. I'm telling you, be polite to me next time. You need something from me now."
"Yeah, I will definitely be polite to you. Don't worry, idiots also have self-respect."
"Wen Yuanxun! You!"
Watching the two bickering, Chen Jiayuan made a vomiting gesture. She coughed twice and said, "Please, I'm still here, okay?"
Hearing what Chen Jiayuan said, Tang Duoduo stuck out her tongue.
At this moment, a familiar figure pushed open the door of the rehearsal room. Gu Yu'an obviously didn't expect that there would be so many people in the rehearsal room where Wen Yuanxun was usually alone. She put away her disappointed expression and said, "You are all here! There will be a meeting in five minutes, everyone gather on the stage!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Chen Jiayuan immediately agreed, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the meeting, and then we'll go eat something delicious together."
"Well, let's eat something delicious. Wen Yuanxun, just leave your piano with me. I'll hold it for you and return it to you after you finish eating." Tang Duoduo seemed very happy to accept the identity of "Piano Boy".
Wen Yuanxun smiled faintly, and couldn't help but secretly pick up the violin case with his hand as he followed the two of them. Tang Duoduo, who was thick-skinned, obviously didn't notice his subtle movements, and was only busy chatting and laughing with Chen Jiayuan.
But all this finally fell into the eyes of Gu Yu'an who was following behind a group of people.
After arriving at the stage, almost all the club members gathered there. When Qiao Yuran saw Tang Duoduo, he immediately went over to her.
"Duoduo, what are you carrying?" Looking at the big black violin case on her, Qiao Yuran was a little confused.
"I say you are uneducated, but you really like to verify it. You don't even recognize the guitar case." Wen Yuanxun's tone was somewhat contemptuous.
"That's right, Qiao Yuran, can you stop embarrassing yourself like this?" Chen Jiayuan on the side quickly agreed.
Qiao Yuran was extremely angry, but in order to maintain his image in front of Tang Duoduo, he forced a smile and then put on a sullen expression.
In the interval between the bickering, Gu Yu'an came on stage, she adjusted the volume of the microphone, and after pausing for a few seconds with her eyes on Wen Yuanxun, she said: "Hello everyone, now I will announce some plans and arrangements for next week. Because the drama competition is approaching, we have reached an agreement with the Blue Bird Art School Drama Club for a friendly study. You know, before the Blue Bird Drama Club announced that it would no longer participate in the competition two years ago, it had always won the championship, so we will definitely learn a lot from this friendly study. And then this time, all the actors and logistics staff Chen Jiayuan, music director Wen Yuanxun, and Wang Xiao from the props group will go to City C to participate in the friendly study. "
Hearing that she could go to City C, Chen Jiayuan was a little excited: "Wow, I can actually study at Bluebird! I heard that school has the largest drama stage. I've always wanted to go and see it. This time I finally have the chance!"
Tang Duoduo was also happy for Chen Jiayuan: "It's great to be able to go to City C. Jiayuan, you must have a lot of fun!"
"Yes, it's fun. Don't worry, Wen Yuanxun and I will help you take good care of Tang Duoduo." Qiao Yuran seized the opportunity to speak.
His words made Wen Yuanxun's face turn pale and blue, and his tone became even colder: "Don't bother, I will take good care of Tang Duoduo."
Seeing Wen Yuanxun like this, Qiao Yuran felt much and continued, "Wen Yuanxun, you won't be so unkind as to abandon the drama club and not go to such an important event, right?"
Wen Yuanxun knew that Qiao Yuran wanted to see his angry expression, so he immediately put on a relaxed and natural look: "Well, unless there is a special situation, I will definitely go."
Upon hearing this answer, Qiao Yuran's face immediately revealed a proud look.
Of course, Wen Yuanxun saw all of this. Qiao Yuran's behavior further confirmed his guess.
Looking at Tang Duoduo's back as she carried a guitar, his eyes became sharp.
I am the only one who can stand by Tang Duoduo's side, and I am the only one who can make her happy...
The one who is more likely to be entangled than Virgo is probably poor Virgo.
Ever since she knew she was going to City C, Chen Jiayuan had been troubled by luggage. Just like now, in front of the counter, she was holding four or five sunscreens of different sizes, muttering something, and Tang Duoduo beside her was also listening to her analysis carefully.
"This Nivea one is only 99 yuan, but it only has 30 ml; this Neutrogena one is 179 yuan, but it has 50 ml, and the SPF is still 50; and this Avène one is 99 yuan, 15 ml, but it is imported; and this Neo-Bi one is 89 yuan, 70 ml, but it is a spray, I am not used to using it on my face, so I can only spray it on my body. Oh, why are there so many choices, but I don’t know which one to choose?"
"I think you can choose this Neutrogena one. I 've used and it's very refreshing. Besides, the sun is so glaring right now, so it's better to choose one with a higher SPF."
Chen Jiayuan nodded as if she agreed with what Tang Duoduo said: "Yes, I also prefer Neutrogena, but it's so expensive! It's nearly two hundred yuan! This is the most expensive one here."
After saying that, she looked at Wen Yuanxun, who was standing aside and surrounded by several crazy salespeople, and asked, "Hey, Wen Yuanxun, give me some advice too!"
Wen Yuanxun's face looked a little unhappy: "Just choose the one you like." He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to leave here quickly.
His attitude made Chen Jiayuan a little unhappy, and her tone was a little sour: "What if Tang Duoduo asked you which one you wanted to choose, what would you say?"
"Why do you involve me again?" Tang Duoduo felt that she was innocently targeted.
"Tang Duoduo is naturally beautiful, there's no need to worry about it!" Wen Yuan smiled.
His words made Chen Jiayuan roll her eyes and Tang Duoduo blush.
"Wow, Wen Yuanxun, you actually praise me so much?" Tang Duoduo was obviously flattered.
Wen Yuanxun looked at the sales assistants who were looking at him like crazy, and put his arm around Tang Duoduo's shoulders: "Of course, you can be mean to yourself, but you have to brag in front of others."
Hearing this, Tang Duoduo frowned and began to think again.
What about me, what about others? Could it be that Wen Yuanxun wanted me to pretend to be his girlfriend and drive away those female shopping guides?
Thinking of this, Tang Duoduo did not ask back, but smiled cooperatively.
"Duoduo." Just then, a familiar voice came over, and then Gu Yu'an, with long flowing hair and a goddess-like look, appeared in front of several people.
"Hello, President." Chen Jiayuan hurriedly greeted.
Gu Yu'an seemed a little embarrassed when she heard this: "I told you to just call me Yu'an."
After saying that, seeing Wen Yuanxun beside him, Gu Yu'an's expression became even gentler: "Wen Yuanxun, you are here too!"
Wen Yuanxun nodded, with no intention of removing his hand from Tang Duoduo's shoulder.
"We forced him to come here. Yu'an, are you shopping too?" Chen Jiayuan asked, looking at the small basket on her arm.
Gu Yu'an looked at Tang Duoduo and Wen Yuanxun, who were acting intimately, and her expression became a little unnatural: "Yes, we're leaving in two days, so I want to prepare. What about you, are you choosing sunscreen?"
"Yes, but there are so many types of sunscreen and we don't know which one to choose." Tang Duoduo answered truthfully.
"It's not that I don't know how to choose, but the ones I like are too expensive." Chen Jiayuan looked at the Neutrogena sunscreen with nostalgia.
"Really? Which one do you want to buy?" Gu Yu'an asked.
Chen Jiayuan picked up the sunscreen: "It's this bottle, but it's so expensive, it costs 179 yuan!"
After looking at the bottle of sunscreen, Gu Yu'an said, "Come with me to check out later. If you spend more than 500 yuan, you can get a 50% discount on this one!"
Upon hearing this news, Chen Jiayuan's worried expression disappeared: "Really? Then I can buy it for just a few dozen dollars?"
Gu Yu'an smiled and nodded.
"Yu'an, thank you so much! You are truly a goddess!" Chen Jiayuan almost hugged Gu Yu'an at this moment.
Tang Duoduo, who was standing by, was also happy for Chen Jiayuan because of the news and laughed foolishly.
"But I don't have 500 yuan yet, so I need to buy something else. Wen Yuanxun, do you want to buy something? We are going to City C together this time!" As he said that, Gu Yu'an looked at Wen Yuanxun who was standing aside.
"That guy never uses skin care products, so there's no need to buy them for him." Tang Duoduo was the first to refuse.
"Yes, it's annoying that your skin is still so good without taking care of it!" Chen Jiayuan continued to add.
Gu Yu'an still didn't give up and continued to ask: "Do you want to buy some snacks? There are snacks for sale here, you can buy some to eat in the car."
Hearing this, Wen Yuanxun seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and walked towards the foreign snack area.
"Yu'an, you don't have to be so polite to Wen Yuanxun. He is cold to everyone except Tang Duoduo." Chen Jiayuan said, looking at Wen Yuanxun's back.
"Come on, he often insults me too!" Tang Duoduo protested.
Chen Jiayuan glared at Tang Duoduo, speechless.
"It seems that Duoduo is very familiar with Wen Yuanxun." Gu Yu'an inquired.
"Yes, we are quite familiar with each other. We have known each other for so many years!" Tang Duoduo smiled.
"Oh?" Gu Yu'an's eyebrows showed a trace of vigilance, and continued to ask, " What are Wen Yuanxun's hobbies? What does he like to eat, or what does he like to do?"
"That guy is rather strange. He doesn't have anything he particularly likes to eat. It seems that apart from being with Tang Duoduo and, yes, me, he doesn't have anything in particular to do." Chen Jiayuan was also trying hard to recall every detail about Wen Yuanxun, and finally got this answer. When talking about what Wen Yuanxun liked to do, she almost let the cat out of the bag.
"Yes, I've known that guy for several years. His favorite thing to eat should be mint-flavored chewing gum. Besides playing the guitar, he usually hangs out with us." Tang Duoduo agreed with Chen Jiayuan's explanation.
Gu Yu'an gave up the idea of asking further as he didn't get any useful information. At this time, Wen Yuanxun appeared with bags of snacks.
"Let's go and pay the bill." Wen Yuanxun took the basket from Chen Jiayuan and walked to the checkout counter together.
After Wen Yuanxun paid the bill, Chen Jiayuan couldn't stop smiling.
"Hey, Wen Yuanxun, thank you for buying me sunscreen. You are so nice!" Chen Jiayuan felt as if she had picked up a pie in the sky for no reason.
"This is to thank you for your help before." Wen Yuanxun pointed to his arm.
Chen Jiayuan understood and nodded with a smile.
"Hey, Tang Duoduo, this is for you." Wen Yuanxun stuffed the snacks he had just bought into Tang Duoduo's pocket.
"What for?" Tang Duoduo was a little surprised.
"We'll be away for the next two days, so I'll leave some food for you," Wen Yuanxun said calmly.
Chen Jiayuan, who was grateful for the favor, also took the opportunity to say, "Yes, yes, we haven't been with you these few days, so just eat some snacks and miss us."
Tang Duoduo stuck out her tongue. She always felt that the way Wen Yuanxun gave her snacks was like feeding a pet.
"Let me treat you to milk tea!" Gu Yu'an, who had no sense of presence next to the three people, pointed to the milk tea shop nearby.
In this way, they came to the milk tea shop again. Drinking the thirst-quenching and heat-relief milk tea, Tang Duoduo and Chen Jiayuan both had satisfied expressions.
"Yu'an, do you know? Before I met you, I didn't dare to talk to you, because you were like a goddess, seeming so far away from us." Chen Jiayuan said.
"Yes, the first time I saw you, I sighed in my heart, how could there be girls in real life who are as pretty as those on TV." Tang Duoduo agreed.
Gu Yu'an felt a little embarrassed by what they said. She glanced at Wen Yuanxun and said, "But after getting to know me for a long time, you know that I'm not like that, right? What do you think, Wen Yuanxun?"
Wen Yuanxun seemed a little indifferent and nodded slightly.
Seeing him like this, Tang Duoduo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, after getting to know you for a long time, I feel that you are not so high and mighty. You are very kind and easy to get along with."
"Yes, after knowing each other for a long time, I will especially want to be a very good friend with you. When we haven't known each other for a long time, I don't even dare to be friends with you." Chen Jiayuan looked at Gu Yu'an sincerely.
Gu Yu'an frowned slightly, looking a little depressed: "Do I look so unapproachable?"
The two waved their hands and said in unison: "No, no, that's not what I meant."
"It's because you look too perfect, so I feel embarrassed to talk to you for too long." Tang Duoduo explained first.
"Yes, because in front of you, we are real tomboys..." Chen Jiayuan said immediately.
Seeing the two people's serious expressions, Gu Yu'an burst out laughing: "Look at how serious you two are, I'm just joking with you! We will be good friends from now on!"
"Really? Then can you be my model for my fashion design assignment?" Tang Duoduo was overjoyed and immediately invited.
"Of course!" Gu Yu'an agreed immediately.
Tang Duoduo raised her milk tea excitedly: "Cheers to being friends!"
Several cups of milk tea gently collided with each other in the air.
Seeing Chen Jiayuan running around to go to City C, Tang Duoduo was somewhat relieved that she didn't have to go out, so she could prepare her competition costume at school. But as the saying goes, there are always unexpected events. Just one day before Chen Jiayuan was going to City C, all the Weibo posts about zodiac signs were filled with Pisces Mercury retrograde. Seeing this news, Tang Duoduo felt a little uneasy. The last time Mercury was retrograde was a year ago. That day was her most unlucky day. Not only did she lose her wallet, but she was also lost for a whole day.
So every time Mercury retrograde comes, she chooses to stay indoors.
But what she didn't expect was that Mercury retrograde is unavoidable, such as this time. As the most important supporting role in "Hamlet", Claudius's costumes are as difficult to borrow as the main character Hamlet's clothes. However, the only place in City A that has such clothing rentals said that Claudius 's costumes have been sold to a commercial theater troupe. In such a helpless situation, the costume team can only rush to City C, which is the closest to City A. And this heavy burden fell on Tang Duoduo, who had just joined the costume team.
At this moment, Tang Duoduo, who was packing her luggage with Chen Jiayuan, felt extremely desperate.
"In such hot weather, you must pay attention to sun protection . I'm really worried that you will get heatstroke and faint. Besides, it's Mercury retrograde period for Pisces. I always feel that something ominous will happen..." Chen Jiayuan couldn't help but say as she looked at Tang Duoduo's gloomy face.
Tang Duoduo pouted, looking somewhat reluctant: "I can only pray to God not to make things too difficult for me."
"If I had known you were going to City C alone, I would have told Yu An that I would accompany you."
Tang Duoduo calmed herself down and forced a smile: "It's okay, I've prepared all the sunscreen products, and I won't go out all the time unless it's absolutely necessary. Besides, maybe Mercury retrograde isn't as scary as I thought?" Although she said this, she had no confidence at all.
"Or let Wen Yuanxun accompany you." Chen Jiayuan suggested.
"No, he is very important in the drama club. If he joins , who will be responsible for the music aspects?" Tang Duoduo sounded a little disappointed.
Looking at her like that, Chen Jiayuan gave a cunning smile and secretly sent a text message.
The next morning, after seeing Chen Jiayuan off, Tang Duoduo dragged her suitcase to the bus station with a somewhat nervous mood.
"Tang Duoduo." Just as she was about to get in the car, a familiar voice came from behind her.
Seeing Wen Yuanxun in front of her, Tang Duoduo was a little surprised: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to City C? Didn't you miss the train? If you didn't catch it, you shouldn't be here? If you don't go, what will happen to the drama club?" She clearly remembered that Chen Jiayuan said he was taking the 8:15 in the morning train, and now it was already 9:30.
"Isn't it more important that the second male lead didn't get to borrow his clothes than the music?" Wen Yuanxun didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
"That's not the case. Clothes and music are equally important. It's just that I'm the one taking care of the clothes, and if you don't take care of the music, who will take care of it?" Tang Duoduo asked.
"Going to Blue Bird is just for communication and learning. It's more helpful for the actors, but basically useless for the soundtrack. But isn't it hard to feel at ease to give such important clothes for the second male lead to a person who will faint at any time when exposed to the sun?" Wen Yuanxun's words were well-reasoned.
Tang Duoduo felt that it was hard to refute, but in order to show her importance, she continued, "I really can't bask in the sun, it's just, it's just..."
"Don't worry, get in the car." As he said that, Wen Yuanxun picked up Tang Duoduo's suitcase and got in the car.
Looking at Wen Yuanxun's back, Tang Duoduo felt that no matter how she argued, it was useless. It was all because of her poor physical fitness. If she could get some sun, Wen Yuanxun might not have to accompany her to that remote city C.
After getting in the car, Tang Duoduo naturally sat next to Wen Yuanxun. As soon as she sat down, Wen Yuanxun took out a bag of Tang Duoduo's favorite snacks from his backpack and handed it to her.
Taking the snacks, Tang Duoduo felt sweet in her heart. Now it seems that it is good that Wen Yuanxun did not go to City C to accompany her. This time, Mercury retrograde does not seem to be as terrible as imagined.
Tang Duoduo, who was eating snacks with relish, felt very lucky at the moment.
"Tang Duoduo, mouth." Wen Yuanxun looked at the silly-smiling Tang Duoduo and pointed at the corner of her mouth.
Tang Duoduo showed a somewhat puzzled expression, then wiped her mouth casually.
Her action earned Wen Yuanxun a speechless expression. Wen Yuanxun sighed, then turned sideways and very gently wiped the debris from the corner of her mouth.
"Wen Yuanxun." Such close contact made Tang Duoduo's cheeks flushed and her heartbeat began to accelerate. "I finally understand why so many girls like you." She wanted to say something, but what came out in the end was this.
"Really? Why?" Wen Yuanxun looked into the distance, feeling a little conflicted.
Stupid Tang Duoduo, everyone knows how good she is, why can't she see it?
"Because you are quite handsome when you are gentle, but you are like an iceberg when you are not gentle." Tang Duoduo said in a teasing tone.
Wen Yuanxun glanced at Tang Duoduo, who was smiling like a flower, and stuffed the jelly he had just peeled into her mouth.
Tang Duoduo was a little panicked after being fed suddenly. She said vaguely: "Wen Yuanxun."
"Eat more and talk less, so as not to expose your IQ." As he said that, Wen Yuanxun piled more snacks in front of Tang Duoduo.
"Wen Yuanxun, can't you say something good about me ?" Tang Duoduo said with some resentment.
Wen Yuanxun smiled faintly: "Tell me, what good can I say about a person who can get himself covered in crumbs just by eating potato chips?"
Tang Duoduo looked at the potato chip crumbs scattered on her clothes and was suddenly speechless.
