The Third Sentence Part 2

Pu Tao’s cheeks began to release steam. She couldn’t hold herself back and went to talk to her friend to air out everything.

She took a screenshot and sent it to Xin Tian. She pretended to be calm. “Is this him? Does the flower of kaolin 1 like to use QQ?”

Xin Tian: “Nonsense. If it’s not him, then who else can it be? It’s because it’s not convenient to send large files on Wechat, okay? We, professionals, are more used to using QQ! Don’t give me app discrimination. Today, I begged my grandfather to ask my grandmother before I made Towards The Sunflower pull him into the group.”

Pu Tao: “Will it be obvious that you pulled me in at the last moment?”

Xin Tian: “Where is it obvious? You are in the right place at the right time and for good reason. Our crew is about to put out a poster. Something happened to the previous artist’s family. Today, he told us that he doesn’t have the time to come up with the character designs of the female and male leads, so I used my official authority to pull a favor to recommend you to Little Sunflower!

Going down the path of being a private fan 2 will definitely not work. You can talk to him in the darkness of Baoji City 3 later on because of your work. Hey, hey, hey, hahaha. I am really a crafty matchmaker.”

Although she spoke in a cunning tone, Pu Tao still stood up and applauded her. Her typing rhythm became lighter. “You are the greatest. How was I, a person with no virtue or ability, able to meet a good sister like you?”

Xin Tian was not moved by her rainbow farts 4 and quickly claimed her innocence. “I can only help you up to here, but whether he is 1.8 meters or 1.5 meters, I will not be responsible for that.”

Pu Tao stiffly smiled. She paused for three seconds: “But… what do you want me to draw?”

She felt embarrassed at once. She had not used her drawing tools for a long time, so she was inevitably rusty. She was afraid of embarrassing herself in front of her male god.

Xin Tian: “What about it? I remember you were good at drawing in college, and you earned a lot of extra money by drawing portraits alone.”

Pu Tao: “But I haven’t drawn in a long time and I don’t know where I put my drawing tablet.”

Xin Tian: “It doesn’t matter. Drawing is a muscle memory. Believe in yourself.”

Pu Tao: “…”

Forget it. I don’t want to.

Drawing the character designs was just an excuse. She originally had an alcoholic’s heart with no interest in what was in the glass 5 . The focus now was how she should hook up with Cloud Dweller.

After she changed the group card, she went back to look at the group list.

The woman’s finger was on the screen and she was counting. One, two, three, four, five…

There are only five people between her and Cloud Dweller. It was like he was within her reach.

The corners of Pu Tao’s lips rose. She quickly assumed her role for the situation. With her cleverness and wisdom, she tagged everyone in the group.

“As a newcomer, I will diligently draw good character designs and ask everyone for a lot of feedback.”

He, Cloud Dweller, must have received her tag.

Oh yes, she did it on purpose.

Under these dignified words, there were all kinds of schemes growing out of control in her mind because she tagged him in there.

@Cloud Dweller, I will work hard to hit on you. Wait for us.

However, her best friend dismantled her entrance.

[Post-Production] Sweetheart: “Are you making an oath to your duties?”

[Drawer] Pu Tao: “…”

She stopped responding and went back to the list to check Cloud Dweller’s information.

The man’s profile picture was the same as the one on Weibo.

She also saw that his address was in Shan City 6 . That was right next to Rong City.

Is this a predestined marriage by the Heavens? Pu Tao mused to herself and thought. She bit her lower lip and clicked to add him as a friend. She inspected her message to make sure it was reasonable and justifiable— “The crew’s drawer.”

AAAaaaaded.

For the next five minutes, Pu Tao’s eyes focused on the cell phone screen like a black hole.

The wind finally blew outside the skylight.

Cloud Dweller accepted her friend request.

「I accept your friend request. We can start talking now.」

Pu Tao threw herself back to bed like she had transcended from the world. Her two slender legs were pedaling at a high frequency on a bike in the air. Each of her pores stretched out and her heart was in full bloom.

Pu Tao covered her face with one hand and came into contact with her apple colored cheeks that were at their maximum warmth.

She fixed her eyes on the chat box for a moment and said hello to the boyfriend she had already defined with her own thoughts based on his voice.

“Cloud Dweller Dada 7 . Hello, I am the new drawer of the First Bell crew. You can call me Pu Tao~ I will have to trouble you to look over and give some suggestions on the male lead’s character design, so I might have to disturb you often. I hope you won’t dislike me…”

Just like those female leads in his radio drama, she was acting adorable, cute, and flirty. She always had a strong ability to learn, and she could almost perfectly imitate something by relying on two days of cramming alone.

A soft lamb gif came next, which showed a more delicate and silly side.

In the next moment, the bait moved.

Cloud Dweller: “I will try.”
