Jiang Lingâer sighed and replied, âYouâve seen it yourself. How is it a secret? Besides, whatâs the point of explaining? Thereâs nothing to explain.â
Wen Nuan playfully teased, âDonât try to hide it anymore. By the way, where are we going to eat later?â
Jiang Lingâer shook her head, saying, âI havenât thought about it yet. What are your plans for today?â
Wen Nuan replied, âI didnât make any plans. I want to catch up with you after seeing you with Li Yu yesterday. Iâm so curious.â
Jiang Lingâer was at a loss. âWe just met up yesterday. Is there a need to be so curious?â
Wen Nuan said seriously, âYes, you have to use it. You know, your engagement with Li Yan hasnât been canceled yet, and then youâre hanging out with Li Yanâs uncle. Itâs so exciting!â
Jiang Lingâer looked depressed. What was going on? Jiang Lingâer said, âHave you been watching some ethics drama recently?â
Wen Nuan chuckled and said, âI just thought you and Li Yu looked quite compatible. In any case, itâs pleasing to the eye. I even have a photo. Want to see?â
Wen Nuan took out her phone and showed Jiang Lingâer a picture of her and Li Yu.
Jiang Lingâer:ââ¦â
Seeing the photo of herself and Li Yu, she couldnât help but feel a bit awkward. Had they really appeared so close? Why didnât she feel it?
Wen Nuan continued in a playful and suggestive tone, âSo, which stage are you at now?â
Jiang Lingâer was speechless and chose to ignore the comment.
Wen Nuan frowned and said, âDid you hear me?â
Jiang Lingâer looked at Wen Nuan and asked seriously, âWhat are you thinking? If 1 say that youâre thinking too much, do you believe me?â
Wen Nuan looked around and whispered, âEven if you donât feel anything for him, Li Yu definitely feels something for you. Itâs obvious.â
Jiang Lingâer:ââ¦â
Jiang Lingâer didnât know whether to laugh or cry. Could Wen Nuan stop being so sensitive?
Wen Nuan smiled and said, âTo be honest, Iâm looking forward to it.â
Jiang Lingâer rolled her eyes at Wen Nuan and replied, âAs expected, explaining is futile.â
Wen Nuan pouted and said, âWhatâs wrong with looking forward to it? This is my first time being a matchmaker!â
Jiang Lingâer was rendered speechless. She wanted to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Wen Nuan thought for a moment and said seriously, âLingâer, if you donât like Li Yu, can I ask my brother to chase you and make Li Yu step back?â
Jiang Lingâer almost choked on her water upon hearing this suggestion. She couldnât understand why Wen Nuan would come up with such a bad idea.
Wen Nuan patted Jiang Lingâerâs back and said warmly, âYou donât have to react so strongly. Iâm just kidding. But seriously, which option would you choose? To be my sister-in-law or Li Yanâs aunt?â
Jiang Lingâer replied, âNuannuan, donât talk nonsense. Iâm participating in the national competition in five days. Donât distract me.â
Wen Nuan said, âIâm just trying to help you share the burden.â
Jiang Lingâer couldnât help but shake her head and sigh. Sharing the burden? More like creating more trouble.
Wen Nuan said, âDonât give me that look. 1 feel guilty now. Iâm doing this for your sake, you know?â
Jiang Lingâer said helplessly, âNuannuan, donât think too much, all right?â
Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly.
After the morning classes ended, Jiang Lingâer and Wen Nuan left the school together. As they exited, Old Wang and Little Six spotted them.
Old Wang watched Jiang Lingâer leave and remarked, âJiang Lingâer is such a minx. 1 canât help but feel disgusted when I look at her. Little Six, do you think Jiang Lingâer is a hypocrit?â
Little Six responded bluntly, âAre you out of your mind?â
Old Wang furrowed his brow and asked, âWhy have you been so sarcastic with me recently?â
Since high school, Old Wang and Little Six had been close friends who frequently teased and mocked each other. However, recently, it seemed like Little Six had developed a habit of mocking Old Wang for no apparent reason.
Little Six responded disdainfully, âThatâs just me being light on you. Do you even have a sense of self-awareness?â
Old Wang frowned and retorted, âLittle Six, whatâs gotten into you lately? You keep attacking me for no reason.â
Little Six sneered, âWell, you seem to be pretty keen on Bai Xue. What do you think of her?â
Old Wang immediately retorted, âIâm warning you, donât say anything nasty about Little Xue.â
Little Six gave Old Wang a sideways glance and taunted, âAre you really into her? Itâs so obvious. In any case, you shouldnât be slandering others for Bai Xueâs sakeâ
Old Wang immediately said unhappily, âWhen did I slander her? Jiang Lingâer is a scheming b*tch. Her results are clearly very good, but she pretended to be a bad student for so long.â
Little Six said sarcastically, âBai Xueâs academic performance is abysmal, yet she pretends to be a top student all the time..â
