"Morning, Gu Jiuci!"Carrying her school bag, Lu Xiaosang approached her with a skip in her step and a wide smile."You're here so early! I don't usually run into you!"Gu Jiuci's lips twitched into a smile. If not for the nightmare this morning, she wouldn't be up so early."What's happening at school today? Why is it so lively?"Remembering that Lu Xiaosang was part of the school's radio club and was privy to all the information, Gu Jiuci hurriedly asked her about the situation."Don't you know? In a few days, it's the S-Elite High School's 50th anniversary!""It's just the 50th anniversary, isn't this a bit too much?"A strange expression appeared on Gu Jiuci's face. At this point in her previous life, she had been locked in the Phoenix Lodge by Huo Mingche and hadn't been able to go to school. She had no idea about the celebrations.But she remembered that the two previous celebrations had been very simple. They had just had speeches on the field in the morning. A few memo
"What are you thinking? Aren't you going to sit down?"Lu Xiaosang didn't know what she was thinking about and waved a hand in front of her face."Oh."Only then did Gu Jiuci follow Lu Xiaosang to their table and sit down. It was still early and there weren't many people in the classroom. The environment was very quiet."Si Chen, let's make the most of the afternoon and practice. I still have a section that I'm not too familiar with. I don't want to bring you down," a girl said with some embarrassment."No one's holding anyone down. We are a team, we'll work hard together.""Mhm, I have to work hard! I can't let you lose to her!"Lose to who? Gu Jiuci wanted to keep listening, but right at this moment, Yu Gu and Xu Yun'er walked into the room laughing and talking. Yu Gu was even carrying Xu Yun'er's school bag. The two of them just happened to see Si Chen."Yu Gu, give me my school bag back."Xu Yun'er purposely said in an awkward tone.Yu Gu swept his eyes over Si Chen and s
When lunchtime came, Gu Jiuci took photos of the twenty pieces of music and sent it to the devil's WeChat.Xiao Jiu'er: "Brother Che, I'm madly practicing the violin today so I can't have lunch with you. Make sure you eat on time~"Very quickly, a message popped into her chats.The devil: "I know."For some reason, Gu Jiuci saw the devil's bad mood from this indifferent period. She thought for a moment then she took a photo of the draft speech and sent it over.Xiao Jiu'er: "It's almost the day of the school celebration. The school is asking me to speak as the valedictorian, hehehe, am I not amazing?"After a little while, the devil finally replied.The devil: "Amazing."In the office of the chairman of the Huo Group.Ye Kan and Xiang Heng were both having lunch while Zhan Ying informed Huo Mingche of his upcoming schedule."Master, you and a few chairmen are taking part in a local ribbon-cutting event for a new project. Oh, right, S-Elite High School's Principal Xu said that
At the school.Gu Jiuci received the devil's message and felt at ease as she put her phone away and went to the cafeteria.Yesterday, the devil had charged 100,000 to her lunch card. If she didn't spend this money, it wouldn't do justice to a certain someone's nouveau riche attitude.In the cafeteria, Lu Xiaosang had already saved a spot for her. She carried over two large trays of food and had just sat down when Xu Yun'er had appeared like a haunting spirit. Her expression also implied great intimacy as she sat down beside her."Ci, why are you eating in the cafeteria today? Did you argue with Brother Mingche again?"Gu Jiuci swept her eyes over the half-eaten chicken leg on Xu Yun'er's plate and immediately and secretly rolled her eyes."Was Xu Yun'er doing this on purpose? Purposely waiting for her to have paid before coming over, was she afraid of paying for her again?""No. I'm too busy recently. I don't have time to keep him company."Gu Jiuci spoke indifferently. To the
It was as if she was telling everyone that Gu Jiuci had stolen the role of Mu Cheng from her.As expected, the gazes of the spectating audience turned toward Gu Jiuci, but because of her past reputation at the school, no one dared to say anything.Gu Jiuci rolled her eyes wildly in her heart. "Here they go again.""Gu Jiuci, you stole your cousin's role, don't you have anything to say?"Jiang Min questioned Gu Jiuci smugly. She couldn't take back Mu Cheng's role, but if she could smear Gu Jiuci's reputation, it would be an outlet for her anger!"Who said I got the role quietly?"Gu Jiuci slowly stood up. From a height of 170cm, she looked down at the two of them, crushing them with a powerful aura."I clearly went viral online and was invited to the audition by the author herself."This immediately awakened the memories of the popcorn-munching spectators. After all, they had been the ones who had filmed many of the videos from that day."Oh, right, I filmed that genius student
After lunch, Gu Jiuci headed straight to the music building to continue practicing. When she passed by the first floor, a snippet of a piano and violin duet reached her ears. Gu Jiuci couldn't resist stopping to listen more closely. A sour and bitter taste rose in her heart.Suddenly, the harmonious melody was broken by an unharmonious tone which caused the music to abruptly stop. Gu Jiuci reflexively approached the door."Si Chen, I'm sorry! I keep making mistakes in this piece!"Was it the girl's voice from the classroom?At this point, a boy's voice rang out."Should we change the piece? To a simpler one?""We can't do that. The one from X-Elite High School will definitely be a high difficulty piece. If we choose something easy, we'll lose!"Gu Jiuci couldn't help but feel anxious on Si Chen's behalf. Given the girl's ability, she probably couldn't finish the piece."Don't be anxious, we'll do it slowly. There's still time. We can do it."Si Chen's tired voice came from the
The other boy sighed and said, "No, there's no time. The program has already been submitted. Our two schools are already in competition, and this is the Battle of the Roses after all!"If we change the program, it's the same as admitting that besides Si Chen, we don't have anyone good enough. It would be the same as admitting defeat.""Then what do we do?"At this moment, the sound of a violin came from upstairs. The sound was mournful and delicate, each moment joined together flawlessly."Eh? I didn't know there was such a good violin player at our school!""Same! I've never heard them before!""Given this person's skill, they should make a good partner for Si Chen, right?""Yes, yes, yes. I think it could work. Shall we go upstairs and see who it is?"The students' eyes lit up with surprise at the same time. Everyone was restless, but Si Chen abruptly interrupted with a cold expression on her face."No!""Why not?"Everyone was very confused."Since the program has been s
"Alright. Those that have their clothes, quickly go to the change rooms and change."The teacher clapped their hands to hurry the students. Gu Jiuci's thoughts were interrupted and she rose to go to the change room.In the classroom, a girl who had just finished handing out the clothes suddenly asked, "Eh? Where did the set of clothes that was below standard go?""Did anyone see it?""I didn't. Why is there an extra set of up-to-standard clothes?""Crap, the seams on the skirt in that set are about to split. If it gets caught on something, the skirt will fall apart!" the girl said in an anxious voice.The students who had handed out the clothes started to panic.This won't do. We have to quickly tell everyone and find that set of clothes.""We can't do that, for there's no time. Besides, it's just a split seam. As long as the girl doesn't make any vigorous movements, it'll be fine. Stop making a big deal out of nothing!" Jiang Min suddenly said in a loud voice."Besides, if th
