Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yue Ling, who sat nearby, heard this and provocatively remarked, “Are you scared? If you’re afraid, just give up and fulfill your promise obediently.” “Lingling, don’t say that. Since Ling’er has agreed to take it, she can’t just give up halfway,” Bai Xue interjected.

...

As she spoke, Bai Xue looked at Jiang Ling’er and softly asked, “Ling’er, am 1 right?”

Before Jiang Ling’er could respond, Yue Ling sarcastically said, “This selection will be the end of Jiang Ling’er. I really don’t know what she’s struggling for.” “Lingling, you shouldn’t say that,” Bai Xue said. “Since she’s already signed up, she should at least give it a try and see what the questions are. That’s why 1 support her. She should at least turn up and check out the questions.”

Yue Ling continued to mock, “Heh, even then, Miss Jiang will still be clueless. I’m sure Jiang Ling’er won’t know any of the answers!”

Bai Xue inwardly laughed but maintained a controlled expression. She pretended to reprimand Yue Ling and said, “Lingling, don’t talk nonsense. Ling’er has been very dedicated these days. 1 believe she won’t do too poorly.” Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but feel disdainful. These two people were in perfect harmony, but she wondered how long their unity would last.

“Yue Ling, you speak as if you’re any better,” Wen Nuan sneered. “Do you really think your results are better than those fanatics from the Mathematics Department?”

Yue Ling raised her head proudly and said, “Of course, 1 might not surpass them all, but 1 just want to do better than Jiang Ling’er.”

Wen Nuan was furious and wanted to continue arguing, but Jiang Ling’er intervened, saying, “Nuan Nuan, let’s not stoop to their level. Arguing with them will only lower our status. A clown will always be a clown. Let’s not waste time on them.”

Wen Nuan realized the wisdom in Jiang Ling’er’s words. She had just argued with Yue Ling, and Bai Xue had been silently enjoying the spectacle. It was better to endure it now and prove them wrong when the results were out.

Bai Xue felt a pang of surprise. She didn’t expect Jiang Ling’er to defuse the argument between Wen Nuan and Yue Ling with just one sentence. After a moment of contemplation, Bai Xue said, “There’s really no need to argue. In the end, it’s all about the results. Lingling, let’s not argue with them anymore.” “Silence is the ultimate struggle. See you in three days!” Yue Ling immediately retorted.

Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at the two of them and chose to ignore them.

Jiang Ling’er didn’t even spare them a glance.

Observing that the conversation had ceased, Bai Xue felt discontented. Jiang Ling’er, this cunning girl, was becoming more unpredictable. Bai Xue couldn’t let things continue like this. She needed to find a way to bring Jiang Ling’er back to her former state.

Soon, it was lunchtime, and Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan went to the school cafeteria together.

After queuing up to buy their meals, they searched for empty seats. Wen Nuan spotted a four-person table not far away with only one girl sitting there, so she hurriedly approached.

However, as soon as Wen Nuan put down her plate, the girl sitting at the table said, “I’m sorry, there are already people here.”

Wen Nuan frowned. Was this some kind of seat reservation? Annoyed, Wen Nuan replied, “But these three seats are all empty. There are only two of us!” “Sorry,” the girl coldly responded. “My boyfriend and his friend went to get food. They’ll be back soon.”

Wen Nuan narrowed her eyes, clearly irritated. She didn’t expect to encounter such a situation during her first time eating in the cafeteria. Unable to hold back, Wen Nuan retorted, “If your entire family came, would they occupy several tables?”

The girl’s cold expression turned impatient. She frowned and said, “Who do you think you’re mocking? There’s a first-come, first-served rule for everything. As I said, my boyfriend and his brother went to get food. They’ll be here soon. There are so many empty seats, but you insist on sitting here?”

At that moment, Jiang Ling’er noticed a boy eating alone at another table nearby. She walked over and asked, “Excuse me, is this seat taken?”

The boy looked up, amazed, and quickly replied, “No, please have a seat.”

“Thank you,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile.

Then, she waved at Wen Nuan and said, “Nuan Nuan, come over here. There’s a seat available.”

Though still annoyed, Wen Nuan didn’t want to create a scene in a crowded place. She carried her food over to Jiang Ling’er and sat down.

Unhappily, Wen Nuan muttered, “I didn’t expect to feel so aggrieved when coming to the cafeteria.”

“It’s normal to find a seat already reserved by someone else in the cafeteria. Don’t take it to heart,” Jiang Ling’er reassured her with a smile.

Although Wen Nuan felt aggrieved, she knew that Jiang Ling’er was right. She sighed helplessly and took a bite of her food..
