The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the door of the food stall that Ding Chao mentioned, and saw Ding Chao, Xiaoxiao, and Qiao Yuran already sitting there waiting.
When Qiao Yuran saw Tang Duoduo and Wen Yuanxun walking together, his expression became a little embarrassed.
Ding Chao patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, just give up. This is true love and nothing can break it up."
Qiao Yuran didn't say anything and just drank a glass of beer.
After they sat down, Ding Chao began to draw attention to himself, fearing that everyone would see Qiao Yuran looking a little depressed. He stood up and said to everyone, "Come on, the finals will be tomorrow, let's eat and drink and cheer for Duoduo."
Tang Duoduo felt a little embarrassed and thanked them repeatedly: "I really thank everyone for their help in this competition, especially Sister Xiaoxiao. Today I will treat you all, you can eat whatever you want."
"No, no, you can treat me again tomorrow when you get a rank. Today, I'll treat you to dinner!" Ding Chao acted like a big brother.
Hearing this, Chen Jiayuan immediately clapped her hands and cheered: "Okay, Brother Ding, please, I want to eat a few more skewers of beef!"
Ding Chao waved his hand and shouted to the boss: "Boss, give me fifty skewers of beef!"
Hearing this, everyone cheered. Half an hour later, when all the ordered food was served, everyone started eating. Kang Kang and Chen Jiayuan were competing to see who could stuff the most grilled shrimp balls into their mouths, Xiaoxiao was trying her best to persuade Ding Chao not to drink too much, and Wen Yuanxun was patiently helping Tang Duoduo peel the shrimp.
These three couples made Qiao Yuran, who was alone at the moment, look even lonelier. He did not eat, but drank beer one glass after another.
"I won, I successfully stuffed 5 of them!" Chen Jiayuan stood up excitedly and announced her achievement.
Kang Kang was still trying hard to stuff shrimp balls into his mouth.
Tang Duoduo, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Chen Jiayuan, can you please stop playing such boring games and eat properly? Look, Kang Kang's face has turned red."
Chen Jiayuan looked unconcerned: "I don't care. He lost anyway, and the loser has to wash the other person's clothes for a week."
Hearing this punishment, the others burst into laughter.
"Chen Jiayuan, I've never seen anyone who loves to torture her boyfriend as much as you do. You'd better be careful that one day Kang Kang may not be able to stand it." Ding Chao teased.
"No way, I'm a very gentle girlfriend." Having said that, Chen Jiayuan sat down and put a skewer of beef into Kang Kang's bowl.
Kang Kang couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
This scene once again caused laughter from the crowd.
As the atmosphere became more and more lively, Qiao Yuran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.
Seeing that his face was red and he was obviously drunk, everyone was a little worried.
"Qiao Yuran, have you drunk too much?" Tang Duoduo was the first to express concern.
Qiao Yuran waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Wen Yuanxun: "Wen Yuanxun, I just can't figure it out, why did I lose to you? What exactly am I not as good as you?"
Wen Yuanxun spread his hands and supported the staggering Qiao Yuran.
"Qiao Yuran, if you can't drink, please don't drink, okay?" Chen Jiayuan looked a little dissatisfied.
Qiao Yuran did not refute Chen Jiayuan this time. He made a shushing gesture and then straightened his body: "I just want to say a few words from my heart today. You have to listen to me."
Seeing how drunk he was, everyone knew that he would not give up unless he was allowed to speak, so they stopped trying to stop him.
"Tang Duoduo, I admit that I really had no feelings for you at first, because you are not particularly pretty, at most you are just average and pleasing to the eye. But I don't know why, after being in contact with you for a long time, my eyes will always stay on you, especially when you sit there quietly painting, you look really super beautiful!"
Hearing this, Tang Duoduo felt extremely embarrassed. She lowered her head and prayed silently in her heart that Qiao Yuran would quickly finish speaking his mind.
"As for me, I did have some impure motives towards you at the beginning. When you came to the basketball club to watch me play, I thought you were just an ordinary girl who was obsessed with you, so I asked you to help me buy a collar. After I found out that you were not suitable, I gave it to Gu Yu'an. Later, you joined the drama club, and because I hated Wen Yuanxun, I deliberately approached you and stayed by your side. But who knew that I would gradually not want to leave!"
Having said that, Qiao Yuran wiped his eyes with his hands.
Seeing that he was about to collapse, Ding Chao quickly grabbed him and said, "Qiao Yuran, let me take you home. You've drunk too much and talked too much, haven't you?"
Qiao Yuran had no intention of stopping. He pointed at Wen Yuanxun and said, "Wen Yuanxun, I'm telling you, I won't give up. If you treat Tang Duoduo badly one day, I will be the first one to rush up and beat you up."
Wen Yuanxun nodded and patted his shoulder as if to comfort him : "Don't worry, I will never give you such a chance, you should just like someone else honestly."
Hearing this, Qiao Yuran leaned directly on Ding Chao's shoulder.
Seeing him like this, Chen Jiayuan mocked him mercilessly: "Qiao Yuran, just give up. Duoduo only has Wen Yuanxun in her heart. It's not your turn."
As soon as Chen Jiayuan finished speaking, Tang Duoduo hit her coquettishly.
"Okay, this guy is really dying. I'm going to send him back to the dormitory." After saying that, Ding Chao and Xiaoxiao helped Qiao Yuran away.
"Duoduo, see you tomorrow!" Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Tang Duoduo.
After the three of them left, Chen Jiayuan looked at Wen Yuanxun and Tang Duoduo jokingly and asked, "Hey, when are to get back together?"
Wen Yuanxun pointed at Tang Duoduo beside him and said, "You have to ask her about this question. I can't make the decision. I'm still the ex-boyfriend now!"
Tang Duoduo glanced at Wen Yuanxun and answered hesitantly, "When it's time to get back together, we will get back together..."
In fact, Tang Duoduo had already made up her mind that no matter what place she got in tomorrow's final, she would tell Wen Yuanxun her true thoughts.
Chen Jiayuan curled her lips and complained, "You two are truly the most hypocritical couple I have ever seen."
Kang Kang nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Wen Yuanxun raised his eyebrows with an indifferent expression.
It's fine to be hypocritical, the more hypocritical you are, the longer it will last...
The finals finally came. Early in the morning, Chen Jiayuan dragged her senior who was learning stage costumes to put makeup on Tang Duoduo. With foundation, eyeliner, eyelashes, lipstick, Tang Duoduo looked even sweeter and more lovely.
"Oh my God, Tang Duoduo, when you put on makeup, you remind me of Chen Yihan, you know? The big-eyed Taiwanese female star. You really look like her." Chen Jiayuan seemed very satisfied with Tang Duoduo's makeup.
Tang Duoduo blinked her thick eyelashes, looking a little unnatural: "I'd better take it off. I'm not used to putting on makeup at all..."
"No." Chen Jiayuan stopped her immediately, "Today is the final, you have to make yourself look beautiful."
"I'm not a model. As long as Sister Xiaoxiao looks good, that's enough." Tang Duoduo pouted.
Chen Jiayuan patted her head and said, "Come on, you'll be on stage too, can't you clean yourself up? You're studying fashion design!"
After being criticized by Chen Jiayuan, Tang Duoduo had no choice but to accept her own makeup.
After arriving at the competition venue two hours in advance, Tang Duoduo began to prepare the materials that she would need to introduce and explain later. Only after she repeated her creative ideas several times did she feel relieved.
After a while, Xiaoxiao came to the backstage with the makeup artist, and Tang Duoduo and the makeup artist helped Xiaoxiao dress up.
"Tang Duoduo, hand in your music. We need to do a sound check in advance." The staff member poked his head in from outside the door and said.
Tang Duoduo blinked and smiled: "I don't have a music tape, this time it's the same as last time, I'll use the live music."
"On the scene?" The staff member looked puzzled at first, then nodded as if he understood something.
"Are Wen Yuanxun and the others ready?" Xiaoxiao asked.
Tang Duoduo nodded: "They are rehearsing. Chen Jiayuan will bring them here when the competition starts."
"We will definitely get first place!" Xiaoxiao made an encouraging gesture.
Tang Duoduo was not shy nor blushed, she just nodded heavily.
This final was different from the preliminary round. The results were given directly by the judges after the works were presented on the spot. She was drawn to be the last one to perform, which also meant that she would know her ranking directly after the presentation of her work.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Duoduo would have been so nervous that she would have a stomachache, but this time, she actually felt unusually relaxed.
Time passed quickly, and the first few students finished introducing their works. Some of them used palace elements, some used a lot of linen ethnic elements, and Huang Mengmeng's British retro style received a high score of 9.2. Such a high score made Tang Duoduo secretly sweat.
Soon it was Tang Duoduo's turn. As soon as the host announced her name, Wen Yuanxun led the guitar club's band to the stage. Such a good-looking band received loud cheers from the audience as soon as they appeared.
The song started with a strong drum beat, followed by guitarists and bassists.
After the prelude, lead singer Wen Yuanxun picked up the microphone and began to sing: "Good weather, sunny sky, hugging your white T-shirt, bicycle road, laughter spreads far, ordinary love blooms all over the field..."
After the fresh and cheerful tune sounded, Xiaoxiao came out in gorgeous clothes and with happy steps, and interacted with the band members one by one, and Tang Duoduo's new work was also presented delicately on the big screen.
The amusement park-themed print is printed on the skirt. The pleated hem makes the pattern more cute and sweet, and the lace suspenders design also makes the work look more lively and youthful.
This design made everyone's eyes light up. No one would have thought that Tang Duoduo, who is good at using tailoring and colors, could design such a young and energetic work.
"Is Tang Duoduo's design great?" Wen Yuanxun said following the tune of the music during the performance.
"Great, absolutely great!" All the students in the audience praised it.
"Then let's shout out the designer's name together, okay?" Wen Yuanxun raised the microphone and spoke to the students in the audience.
"Okay!" was an extremely firm answer.
"Tang Duoduo, Tang Duoduo, Tang Duoduo, Tang Duoduo!" In an instant, everyone shouted Tang Duoduo's name.
With a confident smile, Tang Duoduo appeared led by Xiaoxiao. They stood with the band and bowed to everyone after the performance.
…
"Wow, every time Tang Duoduo's work is exhibited, it makes people's eyes light up!" said the host.
Tang Duoduo scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, let's hear what the judges have to say." The host waved to the judges.
The first person to express his opinion was Li Mingming. He held the microphone and cast an admiring look at Tang Duoduo: "I like Duoduo's work very much. Her clothes are unconventional, close to life, classy, ​​and very special. These are very rare characteristics. I want to announce here that Tang Duoduo can come to be my assistant during the summer vacation. I will personally teach her how to become a successful commercial designer! So, the score I want to give here is 10 points!"
Hearing this answer, Tang Duoduo bowed repeatedly with excitement.
"Well, it can be seen that our teacher Mingming is very fond of Duoduo. Let's see what score the director of the fashion design teaching department, Mr. Yang Ling, gave."
Teacher Yang Ling took the microphone with a kind smile on her face: "When I was recruiting students, I noticed Tang Duoduo. She is very smart and has very unique ideas. I like the clothes she designs very much, especially this series of works, which are playful, cute and full of vitality, so I gave her a score of 9.9."
"Wow! This is also a very high score. So far, of the two scores announced, Tang Duoduo has scored the highest score!" The host's voice was a little excited. "The last one is our principal, Ms. Anda, the chairman of the famous brand Star."
Principal An also had a big smile on his face: "I personally like Duoduo's work very much. It is very creative and unique, but I don't think she is in a hurry to become a mature commercial designer. She still needs to study hard and lay a solid foundation. So I gave her a score of 9.8. I think her current level is definitely not her full potential. She still has greater potential to be tapped!"
When she heard the last score, Tang Duoduo stood there in a daze. She couldn't believe it at all.
10 points, 9.9 points, 9.8 points, so your final average score is 9.9 points?
"Okay, now I announce that the winner of this college fashion design competition is Tang Duoduo," said the host.
Tang Duoduo stood there and shed tears of excitement. She was still a little dazed when she received the trophy.
"Tang Duoduo, what do you want to say to everyone?" the host asked the excited Tang Duoduo.
Tang Duoduo wiped her tears and looked around for Wen Yuanxun, saying, "Thank you, teacher and classmates, for your love and care for me. I will definitely study hard next time. And I also want to say that I have finally proved myself, Wen Yuanxun, I am worthy of you!"
Hearing this, the students in the audience started to cheer loudly. After the host made a few jokes, he began to look for someone to present awards to Tang Duoduo and other students.
I never felt that a few minutes was so long before, but this time, the joy of victory seemed especially long because Wen Yuanxun was not there to share it with me.
After receiving the trophy, Tang Duoduo wiped her tears, bowed to everyone, and rushed off the stage.
At this moment, she just wanted to hold that man's hand and tell him that she did it.
"Tang Duoduo, you're awesome! You got first place! That's amazing!" As soon as she got off the stage, Chen Jiayuan and Kang Kang surrounded her.
Tang Duoduo handed the trophy to the two and asked anxiously, "Where is Wen Yuanxun?"
Kang Kang pointed to the lounge on the side and said, "He just went to put down his guitar."
Hearing this answer, Tang Duoduo hurried out. As soon as she ran outside the lounge, she saw Wen Yuanxun coming out.
"Very good! First place!" Wen Yuanxun gave a thumbs up.
Tang Duoduo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hugged Wen Yuanxun.
"Oh, isn't it bad to hug your ex-boyfriend like this?" Wen Yuanxun joked.
Tang Duoduo shook her head repeatedly: "I'm not your ex-boyfriend. I don't want you to be my ex-boyfriend anymore. I just want to be with you. I have proved myself and I can stand by your side. From now on, I will no longer feel inferior and will no longer have random thoughts."
Wen Yuanxun breathed a sigh of relief and touched her hair: "Of course, didn't you say that even if we broke up, you would only love me in your heart..."
Tang Duoduo felt that this sounded familiar. She punched Wen Yuanxun angrily and said, "Wen Yuanxun, were you eavesdropping on me?"
Wen Yuanxun spread his hands and said, "I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just standing outside the door."
Tang Duoduo felt so ashamed and turned around to run, but was grabbed by Wen Yuanxun.
"Don't even think about running." Wen Yuanxun slowly approached Tang Duoduo.
Tang Duoduo was a little shy: "What are you going to do?"
"No reason, I'm just fulfilling my duties as a boyfriend." After saying that, Wen Yuanxun put his lips on Tang Duoduo's lips.
It was a soft and dense kiss.
The smell of true love and happiness is floating around...
