Jiang Ling’er earnestly stated, “If two people get together solely because of fear or missing out, it would mean that the two aren’t compatible.”

Su Qi was speechless.

He smiled and remained silent, thinking that Jiang Ling’er was right.

“Why overthink it?” Qiu Yang asked.

Jiang Ling’er elegantly took a sip of her juice and then explained, “People need to take responsibility for themselves. If you can’t commit, don’t make empty promises, especially in matters of the heart. You should never approach many things, particularly relationships, with a casual attitude.”

Jiang Ling’er’s concise words made Qiu Yang feel somewhat guilty. He used to think that while he was young, he should date several girlfriends casually, believing it wasn’t a big deal.

Qiu Yang argued, “But people nowadays date without necessarily planning to get married. You’re thinking too far ahead. This might be too exhausting. You’re guarding yourself like a precious gem for someone who might not even be a good catch.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Remember, the sweetest things can also be the most dangerous, right?”

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Yang asked, “What if you discover that the person you truly cared for is a bad guy, but you’ve already given them your most precious asset? What do you do then?”

Jiang Ling’er replied directly, “Cut your losses in time.”

Su Qi chimed in, “Is it really that easy?”

Jiang Ling’er continued, “That’s why, until you’re truly prepared, you shouldn’t dabble in matters of the heart.”

Su Qi fell into silent contemplation.

Wen Nuan suggested, “Let’s stop talking about this and eat. We’re going shopping soon. Are you two coming?”

Qiu Yang replied, “We’ll pass. Shopping with girls is really a challenge.”

Wen Nuan gazed at Jiang Ling’er and asked, “Ling’er, do you think Li Yu will actually come with us?”

Jiang Ling’er chuckled, saying, “You don’t really believe he has the time for that, do you?”

Wen Nuan, with a knowing look, teased, “Oh, Ling’er, how you know him so well, that you know he doesn’t have time?”

Jiang Ling’er sighed in exasperation. “Is this considered knowing him well? Isn’t it obvious?”

Wen Nuan responded, “I can’t see that he’s too busy. In fact, it seems like he’s really into you. Maybe he’ll actually come along.”

Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but express her frustration. “Why do you think he’s into me? Your eyes… Forget it, talking about it won’t change anything.”

Curious about Qiu Yang and Su Qi staring at her, Jiang Ling’er asked, “Why are you two looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?”

Qiu Yang said earnestly, “Jiang Ling’er, has anyone ever told you that you’re very attractive?”

Jiang Ling’er, quite seriously, replied, “Never.”

No matter whether it was before or after transmigration into the book, no one had ever said such a thing.

“How could that be?” Qiu Yang asked in shock.

Jiang Ling’er sighed softly and said, “I really don’t understand why you all think I’m attractive. I’ve never seen myself that way.”

Qiu Yang said anxiously, “I can’t explain it either. You’re just very attractive.

You’re not only beautiful, but you also carry yourself with great elegance. Don’t you agree?”

After saying this, Qiu Yang looked at Wen Nuan and Su Qi.

Jiang Ling’er was momentarily at a loss for words. She knew she was quite pretty, but being called “attractive” was something she hadn’t experienced before.

Wen Nuan remarked, “Ling’er, to be honest, when school started, you truly amazed me. Despite not dressing up much, your natural beauty shone through.”

Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow. Before she entered the book world, many people did compliment her on her natural beauty.

Su Qi nodded enthusiastically, adding, “Wen Nuan is absolutely right. Many people may look good initially but lose their charm over time. If you have great bone structure, your elegance can endure, even as you age. Whether it’s beauty or handsomeness, it’s all about lasting appeal.”

Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but feel exasperated. What was going on? Were they all obsessed with this topic? She replied, “Speaking of bone structure, everyone here has it going for them. Let’s not dwell on this. The food might get cold.”

Wen Nuan agreed, saying, “Absolutely, let’s eat quickly. Cold food isn’t enjoyable. Once we’re full, we can go shopping.”

Su Qi, almost reflexively, asked, “Ling’er, do you think you have a good chance of winning an award?”

Jiang Ling’er answered directly, “I’m a sure bet for the top three.”

Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s relaxed demeanor, Qiu Yang couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of any unexpected situations?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “I’m very confident in my abilities. But even if something unexpected happens, I won’t be too concerned.”

Su Qi swallowed his food and commented, “That’s probably the attitude of someone who knows they have the power to crush anything in their path. Jiang Ling’er, your confidence shines through..”
