PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 212: 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.

He was the butt of everyone’s joke as he was the only one who sang and got below the par of 60 points – had only gotten a tally of 11 points! It was so humiliating to him that he felt even his grandmother would not have approved of it. As he rarely witnessed Xiao Luo’s singing during college days, he hoped that Xiao Luo would be tone-deaf too. That way, his 11 points would not stand out as prominently. It would be fine even if Xiao Luo’s score was slightly higher than his, as then, he wouldn’t be the only one with such a low score.

“That’s right Xiao Luo, speaking of which, we haven’t heard you singing before, now’s the chance, you better don’t chicken out.” Tang Wantian put down her phone and glancing over at Xiao Luo.

“Quick, sing a song. Show some spirit and presence!”

“When it’s your turn, you should put up a good show, Xiao Luo. You should change your character, don’t be so shy.”

“We’re all classmates, even if you don’t sing it well, we’ll just take it, nobody is here to mock you. Look at Shui, we didn’t judge him even after he sang so terribly.”

Everyone was trying their best to persuade him.

Hu Shuiping frowned at the girl who said that he had sung terribly and put on his sympathetic look again. But this time, everyone only ignored him this time.

“If he doesn’t want to sing, then forget about it. Why should we impose on him, huh!”

Qin Guiyue, in an ironic tone, chirped, “It’d be such a shame if his singing is on the same level as Shui since he’s a good-looking kid.”

Zhao Mengqi pulled Qin Guiyue’s arm and said softly, “Guiyue, can you stop targeting him?”

She was already feeling very guilty, as the main reason she was at this gathering was to see Xiao Luo again and look at the man that had once belonged to her. She didn’t even know why she did it, as she had no illusions that there would be any chance of getting back together. And now, she was curious about the little girl named Bei Bei. She was quite convinced that she was not Xiao Luo’s daughter, there must be some misunderstanding.

“I’m not targeting him, I’m just being brutally honest. He’s a handsome guy, but if his singing is terrible like a ghost howling, it’d naturally affect his image. And that’s by no means belittling.” Qin Guiyue crossed her arms in front of her chest and argued.

“I want to f*ck you, may I?”

Zhang Dashan replied with a double entendre, intentionally using an expletive.

“What’re you talking about, Zhang Dashan?” Qin Guiyue’s expression changed immediately.

“I said, I want to f*ck you, it’s not belittling you but an appraisal for you. I’m praising you for your beauty, if not why’d I want to f*ck you.” Zhang Dashan said tauntingly.
