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.
