The female classmate who had spoken earlier couldn’t hide her excitement upon seeing Jiang Ling’er approach. She hadn’t expected the main character herself to appear, and she was even more impressed by Jiang Ling’er’s elegance and beauty.
The onlookers were equally excited. Jiang Ling’er was even more stunning in person than in the photos they had seen online. Her combination of talent and beauty was truly remarkable.
Old Wang immediately felt a twinge of guilt he hadn’t anticipated Jiang Ling’er’s presence.
Bai Xue quickly tried to explain, “Ling’er, don’t get the wrong idea. Brother Wang was just using a metaphor.”
Jiang Ling’er replied mockingly, “Whether Brother Wang is using a metaphor or not, he’s been singing your praises. Do you feel flattered?”
Bai Xue’s face turned sour. She enjoyed being the center of attention and admired by everyone, but she only wanted admiration, not mockery.
Wen Nuan, who was standing beside Jiang Ling’er, chimed in warmly, “You don’t even need to ask. Bai Xue must be delighted. But Li Yan doesn’t seem too happy about so many men thinking about his girlfriend.”
At the mention of Li Yan, Bai Xue immediately became nervous and instinctively distanced herself from Old Wang.
Old Wang felt irritated by Bai Xue’s sudden change in behavior. He believed it was due to Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan’s teasing. However, with people around, he didn’t dare to make a scene for fear of further embarrassing Bai Xue.
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She had hoped to use this opportunity to teach Bai Xue a lesson, but Bai Xue had chosen to endure silently and not respond. It was frustrating!
Although Bai Xue was dissatisfied, she didn’t want to make a scene. She turned and left, feeling hurt.
Seeing Bai Xue’s departure, Old Wang’s heart ached. He glanced at Jiang Ling’er and angrily said, “Little Xue always thought highly of you, but you’ve misunderstood her. 1 don’t know why she still thinks so highly of you.”
With that, Old Wang left without caring about the others’ reactions.
Wen Nuan mockingly remarked, “See? This is what you get for being a good person.”
Jiang Ling’er laughed at Wen Nuan’s words and said, “We’ve seen the results. Let’s go. Class is about to start.”
Wen Nuan smiled and agreed, “Alright, let’s head back.”
Once they left, the surrounding crowd dispersed and returned to their classrooms.
Qiu Yang stood outside Jiang Ling’er’s classroom, feeling a bit anxious. He had briefly met Jiang Ling’er during the exam, but he wasn’t sure if she remembered him.
As Qiu Yang worried, he spotted Jiang Ling’er approaching with another girl, engaged in cheerful conversation.
Summoning his courage, Qiu Yang called out, “Jiang Ling’er.”
Jiang Ling’er turned to look at him, her expression showing a hint of surprise. It was the guy who had provoked her at the exam venue. What was he doing here?
Upon seeing Jiang Ling’er respond, Qiu Yang’s nervousness increased. He asked tentatively, “Do you remember me?”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Qiu Yang, I’m sorry, but the first place is mine.”
Qiu Yang’s face brightened. Jiang Ling’er remembered him!
Wen Nuan, who was with Jiang Ling’er, glanced at Qiu Yang and said kindly, “Ling’er, I’m heading into the classroom. You two can chat.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded in acknowledgment.
Qiu Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking with a tinge of frustration, “Congratulations on retaining first place. I heard you submitted your paper early?”
He felt a mix of emotions. He had managed to qualify, but it was clear that Jiang Ling’er was still far ahead.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Yes, that’s correct. If I’m confident in my answers, 1 submit my paper. Congratulations to you too.”
Qiu Yang chuckled awkwardly and admitted, “I barely made it through. Compared to you, I’m far behind.”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t engage in comparisons. Her strength was mathematics, and she might not excel as much in other subjects.
Qiu Yang glanced at the sign on the classroom door indicating it was the Performing Arts Department and remarked, “I thought you were in the Math Department with your exceptional math skills.”
Jiang Ling’er responded, “What makes you think that? Are you looking down on our Performing Arts Department?”
Qiu Yang shook his head quickly. “No, you’re so beautiful. You seem suited for the entertainment industry.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and clarified, “I don’t aspire to be a celebrity. I want to become a great actress.”
Qiu Yang was puzzled and asked, “Have you acted in any plays?”
Jiang Ling’er replied somewhat embarrassed, “Not yet. I’m working hard on it. By the way, you’re not from this city, are you? Don’t you have classes to attend today?”
Qiu Yang went silent for a moment and then said, “I’m from Shen Liao City. I’m a sophomore in the Mathematics Department at Shen University, so of course, 1 have to attend classes. But I wanted to bid you farewell. When I left the exam venue yesterday, you had already left. Then, some unexpected things happened, so 1 came today..”
