"Don't overthink it, just focus on your work."

"Se Se..." A tinge of sourness crept into her heart. Du Xiaoren's pallid face lost its earlier animation from discussing the literary performance. Her voice became muffled and hoarse, her mood darkening significantly, like the sky before rain, a gloom spreading across it.

You'll see banquets of toasts and gentlemanly etiquette. You'll wear expensive jewelry and dresses by luxury brands. You'll talk about gourmet food, red wine, music, and play in a sophisticated, noble social circle..."
