Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Jiang Ling’er heard Qiu Yang’s words, she was surprised. Did he really stay an extra day so he could bid her farewell? Jiang Ling’er asked, “So, everything is resolved now?”
Qiu Yang nodded and said, “It’s all fine now.”
Jiang Ling’er said somewhat awkwardly, “Qiu Yang, my class is about to start. Are you leaving now, or would you like to join me for a meal after class?”
Qiu Yang shook his head and said, “No need for a meal. My brother is waiting for me. I’ll catch up with you another time.”
Jiang Ling’er checked the time and said, “Alright, it’s almost time for my class. You…”
Qiu Yang took out his phone and said, “This is probably the best way. But can we exchange contact information before 1 go?”
Jiang Ling’er agreed, and they exchanged contact information.
Watching Qiu Yang depart, Jiang Ling’er turned and entered the classroom.
Jiang Ling’er took her seat next to Wen Nuan and said with a smile, “Who was that handsome guy? Which school is he from?”
She looked at Wen Nuan with a mocking expression and added, “Nuannuan, what are you thinking? This guy challenged me at the exam venue, claiming he’d take first place, but 1 didn’t let him succeed.”
Wen Nuan was taken aback. “Why is he here now? Is he here to issue another challenge?”
Jiang Ling’er shook her head and said, “No, he just came to bid farewell. He told me he also successfully advanced to the next stage of the competition.”
Wen Nuan was surprised. “He came all this way just to say goodbye to you?”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and explained, “1 was quite surprised too. He’s from Shen Liao City, and he mentioned that something happened yesterday, so he came today to bid farewell.”
Wen Nuan frowned and said, “He specially came to say goodbye to you. Why didn’t you ask him to stay for a meal later? Isn’t it a little inappropriate to leave like this?”
Jiang Ling’er sighed, “1 told him to wait, but he declined.”
Wen Nuan understood the situation better now.
The class passed quickly, and after it ended, the teacher called Jiang Ling’er into the office.
Without letting Jiang Ling’er speak, the teacher mentioned, “Ling’er, 1 have a friend working on a drama production who’s in need of a third female lead. Are you interested?”
Jiang Ling’er was momentarily surprised. Her teacher was recommending her for a third female lead role in a drama? However, at this point in time, she wasn’t keen on taking on such a role.
Seeing Jiang Ling’er hesitate, the teacher asked, “Is it because you think the role is too small and insignificant?”
Jiang Ling’er clarified, “Thank you for the offer, but I’d like to focus on my studies for now.”
Understanding Jiang Ling’er’s decision, the teacher said, “It’s a minor role with about ten scenes.”
Jiang Ling’er thanked the teacher, saying, “1 appreciate your offer, but I currently have no plans to take on any roles.”
The teacher sounded a bit disappointed, “Alright, 1 understand.”
Jiang Ling’er apologized, “I’m sorry for letting you down.”
Though she refused the offer, the teacher still believed that Jiang Ling’er’s decision was wise and responsible. He remarked, “I might have been too hasty. That’s all. You may go.”
Jiang Ling’er left the office.
Upon returning to the classroom, Wen Nuan noticed that Jiang Ling’er seemed quite serious. She was concerned that something might have happened again. Wen Nuan asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Is something bothering you? You seem quite serious.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. The teacher recommended me for a third female lead role in a drama.”
Relieved that it wasn’t something troubling, Wen Nuan asked excitedly, “That’s great news! Which drama is it?”
Jiang Ling’er admitted, “I didn’t ask.”
Wen Nuan said helplessly, “Ling’er, you’re not taking this seriously. Why didn’t you ask?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I didn’t agree.”
Wen Nuan was surprised. Why hadn’t she inquired about the drama? It should be good if their teacher had recommended it.
Wen Nuan asked, “Is it not a good drama?”
Wen Nuan was puzzled. Their teacher wouldn’t recommend a mediocre project. Why would Jiang Ling’er pass up such a good opportunity?
Jiang Ling’er clarified, “The teacher mentioned that a friend of his is working on a drama and needs a third female lead. He asked if I wanted to give it a try, but he didn’t provide any further details. Right now, 1 don’t intend to take on any roles.”
Wen Nuan wondered, “Weren’t we all guest stars on set before? If the teacher is recommending it, the script should be decent. It’s also a valuable opportunity for practice.”
Jiang Ling’er responded, “A guest role has only a few scenes. As for a full-fledged role, I haven’t considered it yet.”
Wen Nuan looked around cautiously and whispered, “By the way, 1 heard yesterday that Li Yu, the youngest uncle from the Li family, came to pick you up. What happened?”
Jiang Ling’er was surprised and felt a bit awkward. She stammered, “There’s nothing to it.”
Wen Nuan smirked, “Why are you keeping secrets from me?”
