There's no doubt that the ones doing the best here tonight are Zou Wenying and Zhou Jing; our former classmates have been tempered by society, and all have recognized the reality that whoever has the better flattery wins.

As a result, all kinds of praises are directed at the two of them, making Zou Wenying's face beam with pride, while Zhou Jing's smile carries a hint of arrogance.

Bi Fang pretends not to notice, simply looking down at the crystal glass in front of her.

"Alright, we've been catching up for a while now, how about we start singing?"

Zhou Jing smiles as he speaks, appearing to have considerable leadership skills.

Everyone is delighted, and soon, the old classmates engage in a heart-stirring singing competition.

The guys howl and occasionally try to flatter the girls.

Of course, as the class beauty, Bi Fang undoubtedly garners the most admiring glances, which slightly annoys Zou Wenying.

Moreover, as the boyfriend of the class beauty, Qin Hao is undoubtedly tagged as "public enemy number one."

Whenever the male classmates finish singing, they cast envious and resentful glances at him: How did a foodie like him manage to snag Bi Fang?

The female classmates, on the other hand, exhibit a certain modesty, mostly singing gentle love songs.

Not to mention, their singing is far superior to the guys', and there's a round of cheers after every performance.

When it comes to Zou Wenying, even before she sings, there's a full minute of cheering, like fans welcoming a celebrity idol.

Zou Wenying basks in the applause, her face full of excitement as she thanks everyone and suggests they hang out more often.

Then, she sings "Little Lucky," her voice steady and technique polished, making the women jealous and the men envious, even Bi Fang can't help but applaud.

Though the other dislikes her, for Bi Fang, friends in life are few, let alone former close friends who used to be together every day. If possible, she still hopes the two can return to how they were in their childhood.

At most, she would just endure more grievances.

After most people have had their turn, Zhou Jing looks at Bi Fang with a smile: "Bi Fang, it seems it's your turn now..."

His voice carries a playful closeness, and his eyes flash with a charming radiance.

In fact, from the first moment he saw Bi Fang, he harbored a desire for her.

Zou Wenying is quite attractive with a decent family background, but if he had the chance to win over Bi Fang, he wouldn't mind juggling both.

Bi Fang feels a bit embarrassed, but she picks up the topic and shyly says, "Then I'll sing 'When I Wake Up'."

"Great!" Tang Ming cheers and claps first, only to be glared at by Zou Wenying and immediately falls silent.

The other men also want to clap, but due to Zou Wenying's intimidation, remain silent.

Women are naturally prone to jealousy, let alone all sitting there with cold faces.

Bi Fang smirks self-deprecatingly, then starts to softly sing.

"You said you loved someone you shouldn't have..."

With just the first line, everyone present feels a subtle shiver, as if they might get goosebumps.

"This is sung too well, isn't it?"

A girl mutters jealously, her face full of envy.

"I've admired the goddess for so long and didn't know she had such a talent for singing?"

Tang Ming sits slapping his thigh, regretful: "Back in the third year, after failing to confess to the goddess, I backed off. Such an outstanding goddess, I should have doggedly pursued her!"

The other guys have similar expressions, many of whom had previously sent love letters to Bi Fang.

"Hmph, it's only the first line, and you're all such hopeless creatures!"

Zou Wenying crosses her arms, angrily cursing inwardly, while Zhou Jing next to her glances at Bi Fang with a gaze full of yearning.

"It's inevitable to be heartbroken, but why be so attached..."

As she reaches the climax, Bi Fang glances at Qin Hao, still indulging in food and drink, her eyes slightly teary.

Not because of sadness, but because she's completely immersed in the world of the song.

Instantly, everyone is stirred by her voice, deeply engrossed in the song's mood, their hearts tinged with a subtle sadness.

When the song ends, Bi Fang lowers the microphone with a composed face and gradually reveals a smile, bringing everyone back to reality.

"Goddess, you're amazing, you could definitely launch a career!"

Tang Ming cups his hands around his mouth, shouting with excitement.

The other guys nod in admiration.

"It's just singing, what's the big deal!"

Zou Wenying angrily tosses the remote aside. Zhou Jing glances at her with disappointment, then smiles, "Since today's such a rare gathering with Wen Ying's classmates, and with so many wonderful songs, I think we should add an incentive. How about this: everyone can choose the best singer, and I'll give them a Patek Philippe watch as a reward."

As he speaks, he takes out a gift box from his coat; it contains a gift initially meant for Zou Wenying at a later date.

But today, caught up in excitement, he obstinately decides to use the expensive gift to win over Bi Fang.

Since his girlfriend is present, it's not appropriate to give it directly, so he comes up with this plan.

Objectively speaking, Bi Fang's singing far surpasses everyone else's, so the championship is undoubtedly hers.

"Wow, even the cheapest Patek Philippe watch is tens of thousands, right?"

Someone is stunned, unable to believe it.

"Mr. Zhou is so generous, why didn't you say before? I would've practiced bel canto for half a year for you!"

A girl says enviously, feeling that Zou Wenying is lucky to have found such a wealthy and handsome partner.

Zou Wenying, however, is displeased, but since everyone is so joyful, she doesn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so she says, "Hubby, you haven't even sung yet and want to pick a winner; isn't that too hasty?"

As she speaks, she clings to Zhou Jing's arm, swaying her bosom seductively.

The women all echo her sentiment.

"Yeah, Mr. Zhou, you have to sing too..."

"Mr. Zhou has such a magnetic voice; he must be an amazing singer too!"

Zhou Jing is helpless; he's learned music and has a professional level, and although he didn't want to show off to please Bi Fang, he can't hold back now.

Furthermore, with Bi Fang being so talented, if he shows off, it will likely make her look up to him, which is beneficial for capturing her interest.

As for Qin Hao, he completely ignores him.

"If that's the case, I'll give it a try with 'Never Left' then."

After a round of applause, Zhou Jing maintains a smile and begins to sing with the microphone.

"I once loved, and have lost..."

The first line, with a very steady bass, makes people's bodies tense, naturally drawing them into a focused listening state.

Professional is indeed professional; Zhou Jing sings the chorus without any pitch mistakes: "I gaze at the distant peaks..."

It's safe to say, Zhou Jing's choice of song achieved its purpose; his technique is very smooth, the high notes crisp and clear, adding two more layers of casualness compared to Bi Fang's earlier passionate performance.

At this point, all the audience is emotionally stirred, completely swaying with the song.
