Chapter 246: A Clueless Guy

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 Ling’er couldn’t help but sigh in exasperation; it seemed this guy was only interested in computers.
Wen Nuan, wearing an expression of mild exasperation, quipped, “Ling’er, fetch me the 8o-meter knife; 1 feel like chopping him to bits.”
Jiang Ling’er 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.
“Nuannuan, have an apple and relax,” said Jiang Ling’er.
She then cut another piece for Little Six, suggesting, “Little Six, here, have some too.”
Jiang Ling’er extended the fruity generosity to Lin Sheng as well, saying, “Brother Lin, here you go.”
“I want one too,” said Liang Chao at this moment.
Jiang Ling’er, with a cheerful smile, said, “No problem, I’ll cut you a generous slice.”
As she handed Liang Chao a sizable piece, and he remarked, “Truly sweet! Yu God’s apple is splendid. I’ll save the green one for later.”
“That’s a green apple,” said Little Six.
Wen Nuan glanced at Liang Chao teasingly, saying, “Thinking of eating the rest? Dream on. This one from Yu God is reserved for Ling’er.”
Liang Chao took the last bite and inquired, “Miss Wen, your brother’s gift must be quite pricey, huh?”
Wen Nuan said proudly, “Absolutely. That jade is top-notch, won by my brother while casually playing with stones. We didn’t realize its value at first, but it turned out to be quite a treasure.”
“Nuannuan, this…” Jiang Ling’er was stunned.
Wen Nuan quickly grasped Jiang Ling’er’s concern and responded seriously, “I know what you’re thinking. My brother said if you decline, there’s no need to call him brother anymore.”
Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow, “Is he really that firm?”
Wen Nuan nodded.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Ling’er conceded, “Alright, 1’11 accept it. I’ll give him a call later to express my gratitude.”
Wen Nuan advised, “It’s up to you. Just accepting it will make him happy.”
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of amusement; it seemed Wen Mo had genuinely fallen for Jiang Ling’er.
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 couldn’t bear to see her in such a pitiable state.
“Bai Xue, come here. I have a question for you,” the girl called out.
“Sure,” Bai Xue replied with a smile, though a bit forced. “What’s on your mind?”
The girl whispered, “Bai Xue, don’t let it bother you. Only a few guys gave her apples. Yours are far superior.”
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 family’s second young master remained unknown.
“Thanks for your comforting words,” Bai Xue said. “I’m not jealous, just to clarify.”
The girl grinned. “Of course, with your outstanding qualities, why would you be jealous? How about we go for a walk?”
“Thanks,” Bai Xue replied with a smile. “But I have to go. There’s still a lot to do on the set.”
The girl envied, “Bai Xue, you’re so dedicated. Not like me, a graduate with only a handful of job opportunities. I wonder if any company will hire me.”
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 she’d land any significant roles.
“Don’t lose heart,” Bai Xue encouraged. “1 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.” “Really?” the girl asked.
Someone had suggested this before, but she hadn’t mustered the courage. Now, fueled by Bai Xue’s 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, “Success depends on your abilities. Regardless of what you pursue, take it one step at a time. Look at Jiang Ling’er. She wasn’t eye-catching initially, but now she’s famous.”
The girl cast an envious glance at Jiang Ling’er, who was chatting with two handsome seniors nearby. “You’re right, Bai Xue. I’ll give it a try during the winter break and see if anyone notices me..”
