In this life, I just want to stay far away from them, and don't want to have any involvement.

Occasionally, I heard my classmates talking about how miserable they were, jokingly asking me if I wanted to continue sponsoring them. I just smiled and didn't say anything.

I must be out of my mind, feeling so uncomfortable? I might as well enjoy life and treat myself well.

But many things cannot be avoided just because I want to. One day, I had just finished class and was heading back to the dorm.

Lu Yao hurriedly ran up to me, and with a sudden strike of her slender arms on the desk, made a loud noise. In her eyes, full of hatred, she seemed to want to tear me apart.

"Brother Lv is so outstanding, why did you stop sponsoring him? Do you know that you are destroying a genius's future?"

I was slightly astonished, and her sense of entitlement made me laugh.

Grandly talking about dignity, but now asking me for money indirectly, what kind of literary style is that? It perfectly illustrates shamelessness.

"One should rely on oneself. I am wealthy, but I don't raise sons."

"What do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Classmates gathered around to watch the excitement. Seeing the crowd, Lu Yao became even more arrogant, poking my nose and acting like the main character and the third party in a dispute.

"You can sell a jade necklace for 100,000 yuan, so what's wrong with sponsoring Brother Lv? Weren't you willing to do it before? Why stop now? Do you know that now we can't even afford to eat?"

"I know Brother Lv made a mistake in his judgment. It was you who eagerly asked to help before. I'm giving you a way out, are you going to take it? Don't push it too far."

"Brother Lv is so outstanding, with a brilliant future. It's all because of you that his entire life is ruined. Don't you feel any guilt?"

Lu Yao had been relying on Lu Shujie's support for too long and had made a habit of oppressing me, thinking that everyone would accept it as I did.

Laughter broke out in the crowd, and my friend, unable to watch it any longer, stood up proudly.

Originally from the same circle, there were still family business ties. I just couldn't stand Lu Yao's despicable behavior and scolded her.

"I've really opened my eyes. How did a fool like you manage to survive until now?"

"Outstanding my foot! Beggars asking for money have to be humble, but you're so arrogant? Also, whether Lu Shujie lives or dies has nothing to do with Rong Rong?"

"What's wrong? Is she your mother? Or your family? Are you entitled to be this arrogant when asking for money? Is it wrong for others not to give? With hands and feet, what kind of beggar are you? If you think the money is coming too slow, you might as well go out and sell yourself. Even if you're not pretty, someone will take you in. If you're lucky, you might even find a sugar daddy. Look, forget about eating, you'll have someone support you for the rest of your life."

There was laughter in the crowd, and some classmates joined in.

"Lu Shujie looks a lot like that one, rich women like him. I'll bet 10 yuan."

"That's too much, I'll add a penny."

Lu Yao always liked to provoke people, thinking that the whole world revolved around her because Lu Shujie supported her. Now a group of sensible classmates was scolding her, leaving her stunned for a long time without coming back to her senses.

Hearing someone slander her beloved, Lu Yao glared at them, and other classmates started to criticize her.

"Can't afford to eat? If it's so hard, why not apply for a scholarship?"

"Hard? I clearly see that even when eating caviar, you still find it fishy. Without Rong Rong, I don't think you'll ever eat well in your entire life."

"Asking for money and being so arrogant, you're really broadening our horizons."

Seeing Lu Yao turning red and making an embarrassing defense, I felt a sense of joy.

I usually paid for everything when we went out, never sparing any expense, so my classmates naturally sided with me.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd as Lu Shujie slowly entered the classroom.

"Brother Lu, she bullied me," Lu Yao cried with tears in her eyes. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought she had suffered a great injustice.

"I know she has always considered herself as the pride of heaven, looking down on poor people like me. But for Brother Lu, I'm willing to do anything. Didn't she say she would sponsor me until graduation? Why the change of heart!"

Other than cold laughter, I couldn't be bothered to explain.

Lu Yao never disappoints me. She can't change her ways and still wants to take a bite out of others.

Unfortunately, Lu Shujie always falls for her tricks and takes everything she says as the gospel truth.

Listening to what she said, Lu Shujie looked at me.

Those eyes, filled with endless stars, were still captivating, despite my determination to keep my distance.

Regardless of the actual truth, in his eyes, Lu Yao will always be right, and it seems that he is once again ready to take her side.

Before, I would have fought with all my might with Lu Yao, but what did I gain each time? Every time it was just more wounds, more helpless compromises. I was like a little dog curled up in a corner, licking my wounds, still hoping for his pity.

Now, I no longer want to make myself suffer.

Finally, I understand that love is never about forging ahead alone.
