No need to endure anymore

There was a polite smile on Xiao Luo's face. He was there mostly because Zhang Dashan had tried so hard to convince him to attend, and besides, he had some time to spare. Had he known how little his former classmates valued the simple and genuine friendships they used to have in the past, he may not have come here. All he now saw were people willing to bootlick and ingratiate themselves to the more successful, or brag about their jobs and spouses. Not forgetting those who thought too highly of themselves and freely gave out unsolicited advice without even understanding the truth.

To be honest, he had stayed out of respect for their past friendships. He could not just leave the place, as that would be disrespectful to everyone there.

"Xiao Luo, what're you talking about? You must sing, this is a competition, let's be serious about it!" Hu Shuiping was the most agitated of all. He had a vested interest, of course.
