Little Six stood on the side, speechless.
Little Six used to think he was a straightforward guy. Unexpectedly, this buddy turned out to be even more unyieldingly and clueless about life!
Jiang Lingâer couldnât help but sigh in exasperation; it seemed this guy was only interested in computers.
Wen Nuan, wearing an expression of mild exasperation, quipped, âLingâer, fetch me the 8o-meter knife; 1 feel like chopping him to bits.â
Jiang Lingâer took an apple and washed it in the sink in the classroom. Then, she took out her small military knife and washed it. Then, she cut a piece of apple and handed it over to Wen Nuan.
âNuannuan, have an apple and relax,â said Jiang Lingâer.
She then cut another piece for Little Six, suggesting, âLittle Six, here, have some too.â
Jiang Lingâer extended the fruity generosity to Lin Sheng as well, saying, âBrother Lin, here you go.â
âI want one too,â said Liang Chao at this moment.
Jiang Lingâer, with a cheerful smile, said, âNo problem, Iâll cut you a generous slice.â
As she handed Liang Chao a sizable piece, and he remarked, âTruly sweet! Yu Godâs apple is splendid. Iâll save the green one for later.â
âThatâs a green apple,â said Little Six.
Wen Nuan glanced at Liang Chao teasingly, saying, âThinking of eating the rest? Dream on. This one from Yu God is reserved for Lingâer.â
Liang Chao took the last bite and inquired, âMiss Wen, your brotherâs gift must be quite pricey, huh?â
Wen Nuan said proudly, âAbsolutely. That jade is top-notch, won by my brother while casually playing with stones. We didnât realize its value at first, but it turned out to be quite a treasure.â
âNuannuan, thisâ¦â Jiang Lingâer was stunned.
Wen Nuan quickly grasped Jiang Lingâerâs concern and responded seriously, âI know what youâre thinking. My brother said if you decline, thereâs no need to call him brother anymore.â
Jiang Lingâer raised an eyebrow, âIs he really that firm?â
Wen Nuan nodded.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Lingâer conceded, âAlright, 1â11 accept it. Iâll give him a call later to express my gratitude.â
Wen Nuan advised, âItâs up to you. Just accepting it will make him happy.â
Wen Nuan couldnât help but feel a tinge of amusement; it seemed Wen Mo had genuinely fallen for Jiang Lingâer.
Bai Xue felt a whirlwind of emotions but struggled to put them into words.
Even though she stood there physically, it seemed like some deliberately overlooked her.
What was supposed to be a joyful occasion of sharing apples had lost its sparkle for Bai Xue.
Observing her standing alone, the girl who had spoken up for her earlier couldnât bear to see her in such a pitiable state.
âBai Xue, come here. I have a question for you,â the girl called out.
âSure,â Bai Xue replied with a smile, though a bit forced. âWhatâs on your mind?â
The girl whispered, âBai Xue, donât let it bother you. Only a few guys gave her apples. Yours are far superior.â
Bai Xue managed another smile. The situation was different; those who presented her with apples were hardly top-notch. Yu Zhizhou alone was leagues ahead of them. As for Little Six, whether he was the Chen familyâs second young master remained unknown.
âThanks for your comforting words,â Bai Xue said. âIâm not jealous, just to clarify.â
The girl grinned. âOf course, with your outstanding qualities, why would you be jealous? How about we go for a walk?â
âThanks,â Bai Xue replied with a smile. âBut I have to go. Thereâs still a lot to do on the set.â
The girl envied, âBai Xue, youâre so dedicated. Not like me, a graduate with only a handful of job opportunities. I wonder if any company will hire me.â
Bai Xue felt a tinge of disdain. Without looks or connections, pursuing a career in the entertainment industry seemed like a far-fetched dream. Even if she threw herself out there, she doubted sheâd land any significant roles.
âDonât lose heart,â Bai Xue encouraged. â1 started as an extra. If you have the time, visit the set. Maybe the director will notice you. Even if it takes a while for others to see you, you can still observe and learn from the experience.â âReally?â the girl asked.
Someone had suggested this before, but she hadnât mustered the courage. Now, fueled by Bai Xueâs words, she found newfound confidence to give it a shot.
Bai Xue saw that the girl was a little excited and was worried that the girl would trouble her.
Bai Xue added, âSuccess depends on your abilities. Regardless of what you pursue, take it one step at a time. Look at Jiang Lingâer. She wasnât eye-catching initially, but now sheâs famous.â
The girl cast an envious glance at Jiang Lingâer, who was chatting with two handsome seniors nearby. âYouâre right, Bai Xue. Iâll give it a try during the winter break and see if anyone notices me..â
