CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 144: THE EXTRA LITTLE PLANT (7)

Why is she bothering with that man, why buy a cactus for him...

She must be possessed.

A person like him, how could he even need something like that.

Walking to the trash can with the cactus, intending to throw it away, but upon seeing those few light purple flowers on it, Qiao Mo felt a tinge of reluctance.

Does she really want to throw it away?

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mo couldn’t bear to do it, so she turned back to the flower shop, "Madam, can I leave the cactus here temporarily?"

"Of course, you can come pick it up anytime, I’ll take good care of it for you."

"Thank you."

After placing the cactus back, Qiao Mo finally let out a sigh of relief, took a last look and then turned to leave.

Two days later, Qiao Mo arrived early with her schoolmates at the Royal Equestrian Club.

Because the first competition required designing equestrian attire, the department organized all fashion design students to visit the equestrian club to learn about equestrian culture and attire.

Upon entering the riding ground, Shen Tingting and Yu Xiaoqin were annoyingly present in front of Qiao Mo.

"Qiao Mo, for the first fashion design competition, I will definitely give it my all, really looking forward to competing with you," Shen Tingting said gently.

Qiao Mo just looked at her indifferently; she was wearing a pink dress with a white coat, and high-heeled shoes, as always elegant and charming, yet meticulously refined.

"Previously, Professor Han always said that your design style and philosophy always opposed mine. Now, this competition is a perfect opportunity to show what you’re made of, don’t disappoint me."

Qiao Mo continued to look at her impassively.

Indeed, she often discussed design issues with Shen Tingting, but there were significant differences in their philosophies.

She believed that fashion should follow its roots, emphasizing nature and simplicity; low-key and minimalistic are the true essence of fashion.

But Shen Tingting’s concept was the opposite, she thought fashion should be groundbreaking, a pursuit of exquisite and luxurious excess to extreme strictness.

Qiao Mo bypassed her, not intending to engage, but Shen Tingting caught up with her again, "Qiao Mo, in this competition, I absolutely won’t lose!"

Qiao Mo’s gaze was indifferent, "Finished talking?"

Shen Tingting was stunned.

"If you’re done, please move aside, you’re blocking the way."

The smile on Shen Tingting’s face stiffened a little, but she still maintained her poise as she stepped aside.

She really is as arrogant as ever!

Yu Xiaoqin, on the other hand, was hesitant to speak due to last time’s setback, but seeing Shen Tingting’s displeased face, she suddenly stepped forward to block her way, "Qiao Mo, how can you speak to Tingting like that, I really can’t stand your high-handed attitude!"

Qiao Mo chuckled lightly and mockingly said, "There are plenty who can’t stand me, who do you think you are!"

Yu Xiaoqin was choked back with one sentence, her face reddening slightly.

Qiao Mo ignored them, walked around the Equestrian Club’s cultural hall, and like many other students, led a horse outside, intent on trying it out.

Yu Xiaoqin and Shen Tingting never took the field, they mingled with the crowd as it slowly dispersed.

The two walked to the audience stand’s outer edge, on the small pathway in the middle layer without seats, their eyes remained fixed on the track inside.

"Tingting, the words you said to Qiao Mo just now should definitely dispel her wariness, she surely thinks you want a fair competition with her, definitely won’t anticipate what’s waiting for her soon!" Yu Xiaoqin spoke excitedly.
