Chapter 242: Her Cunning Brother
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er affectionately ruffled Wen Nuan’s hair and said, “So, for some things and people, it’s not worth getting tangled up, as it doesn’t deserve to consume so many brain cells.”
Wen Nuan sighed, “All… the way you look right now is very much like my cunning brother.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Oh, come on, I’m not as bad as your brother.”
Among the Wen brothers, the Fourth Young A^aster was full of evil ideas, but Jiang Ling’er was a kind-hearted girl.
In a certain country’s special training camp, Wen Chao, who was in training, suddenly sneezed.
On Christmas Eve, the last day was full of self-study classes. Bai Xue, who had been missing for a while, suddenly entered the classroom with Qin Xiaoxiao. They were followed by two male classmates, carrying bags that seemed quite heavy.
Qin Xiaoxiao walked up to the platform and said with a smile, “Dear students, please stop what you’re doing for a moment. Apologies for the interruption.”
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the two male students and said, “This is arranged by the Student Union. Bai Xue has provided the funds to prepare Christmas gifts for everyone. Each person will receive an exquisite apple gift box. Let’s give a round of applause to thank Bai Xue.”
After speaking, she started clapping, and Bai Xue also joined in.
However, not many followed suit; their lack of enthusiasm was evident. Although it was said to be arranged by the Student Union, everyone knew it was intentional to boost Bai Xue’s popularity.
Seeing the lukewarm response, Qin Xiaoxiao felt a bit awkward but maintained her smile.
Qin Xiaoxiao said, “Thank you for your applause. Next, please line up to receive your gift.”
At this moment, a lazy voice spoke, “Oh, is the government distributing rations? Do we really need to line up for this?”
The sarcastic words made Qin Xiaoxiao feel embarrassed. In other classes, students were cooperating and lining up, but there was an issue here.
Qin Xiaoxiao said, “Junior, if you don’t come to receive it, you won’t have one.”
Liang Chao disdainfully glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao, mockingly saying, “Huh… Is this a gift or charity? Who cares? I don’t need your stuff.”
As Liang Chao rejected it, others hesitated. It seemed embarrassing to come forward one by one to receive an apple; it was like the elderly going to the supermarket to get free eggs.
Seeing that no one was coming forward, Qin Xiaoxiao felt even more embarrassed.
Qin Xiaoxiao said, “What’s the matter? Don’t you all want this meaningful gift?”
Liang Chao mocked, “It’s a foreign festival. Why are you working so hard for this?”
Bai Xue felt extremely angry internally, unsure why Liang Chao was acting this way. However, she had to maintain a calm appearance in front of Jiang Ling’er.
Bai Xue smiled and said, “Senior Qin, maybe 1 should go and distribute them one by one.”
Saying that, Bai Xue looked at the two male students and said, “Thank you, two seniors, for helping me distribute them.”
The first girl to receive the gift felt a bit awkward, but out of politeness, she thanked them.
The remaining students also expressed their thanks.
When Bai Xue reached Liang Chao, she presented the apple, smiling sweetly, “Liang Chao, this is yours. 1 specially picked a big one for you.”
Liang Chao didn’t take it, sarcastically saying, “Do you have x-ray vision? Can you see through the box to know it’s big?”
Without him receiving it, Bai Xue could only place it on the table.
Bai Xue said, “Of course, I can’t see it, but it’s quite heavy.”
Liang Chao said, “Oh? May 1 ask why you’re treating me differently?”
Bai Xue was stunned, then said, “Because you’re very handsome.”
Without giving Liang Chao a chance to speak, she continued distributing the apples to other students.
Eventually, she reached Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan.
A person waved his hand, and everyone looked over, curious to see if there would be any sparks.
Bai Xue said, “Miss Wen, this is for you. 1 wish you a Merry Christmas.”
Saying that, she placed the apple on Wen Nuan’s table and took out another one for Jiang Ling’er.
Bai Xue said, “Ling’er, this is for you. I wish you a Merry Christmas too.”
Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan exchanged glances, both revealing mocking smiles. They didn’t know what Bai Xue was up to, but they were certain it wouldn’t be that simple.
Sure enough, Bai Xue smiled and said, “Ling’er, I personally designed the logo on this packaging box. It took two weeks. How does it look?”
Before Bai Xue could finish, Wen Nuan directly threw the two apples into the trash.
This humiliating scene made Bai Xue’s face very unpleasant. She bit her lip, suppressing her grievances, not saying a word. Inside, she was furious, wishing she could tear Wen Nuan into pieces..
