"What's it got to do with you?" Gu Jiuci said coldly as she swept an impatient gaze over Ji Weiran.Not only did Ji Weiran not get angry, but she let out a long "oh"."It looks like the rumors were true. You and Si Chen really have split. Are you still partnering with her for the celebration in the afternoon?"When the subject of the duet came up Gu Jiuci remained silent and didn't speak."That's to say, Si Chen's duet partner isn't you?"Ji Weiran suddenly laughed out loud."Looks like I'm fated to win this year's Battle of the Roses!"Gu Jiuci abruptly stood up from the chair. "So the person competing against Si Chen is you?""Of course, it's me. However, I've already found a duet partner that's just as good as she is. It's a pity she doesn't have a partner as good as you!"Gu Jiuci, I lost out to you two in the last year of middle school. This time, I will make you two lose tragically!"Ji Weiran laughed coldly as she made her threat, then she turned and left.Gu Jiuci st
"Ci, the student association still has things that need to do. I'll be going now."Xu Yun'er hurriedly found an excuse and left. Gu Jiuci couldn't be bothered to mind her.By this time, the assembly hall was full of students. The girls around her also began to chatter amongst themselves."I heard many important alumni were coming this time!""I don't care about any important alumni. I only care about whether the most handsome man in the imperial capital is coming or not."A starry-eyed girl propped her face on her hands."Are you talking about the richest man in the imperial capital, the chairman of Huo Corporations, Huo Mingche? He's such a busy man that he doesn't even have time for interviews from international magazines. How could he possibly come to a high school celebration?""Can't I dream? It's not a crime to daydream. I've prepared two phones so I can take videos if the time comes. Maybe I can even set up a chance meeting..."The starry-eyed girl let her imagination ru
Even the teacher grew nervous as they listened to the discussion around them."Miss Gu, have you memorized the speech?"Gu Jiuci stood up and stretched, then she patted the teacher on the shoulder."Relax. It's fine."But after she said this, they became even more worried..."Next, please welcome the valedictorian of S-Elite High School, Gu Jiuci!"The moment the MC finished speaking, Gu Jiuci slowly mounted the stage as everyone looked on.As she took the last step, she suddenly reached casually behind her head and tugged loose her hair tie. Thousands of strands of silk-like hair fell like a waterfall down her back. It was as if an idol filter had been placed over her and her surroundings. In an instant, she became a stunning sight."Ah, this girl is so beautiful!""Even the prettiest girl in our school, Ji Weiran, isn't this pretty, right?"The boys of X-Elite High School stared with fixation and let out low sighs. The reaction was enthusiastic and obvious.The students an
"How embarrassing it must be to have your skirt split open in front of thousands of teachers and students!"Gu Jiuci's first reaction was to quickly use her hand to cover the hole, but the skirt was one piece of cloth and the split rapidly widened until the entire skirt was about to fall apart.In a moment of panic, she thought about bending down, but her new shoes made her slip and she lost her balance. Her entire person fell toward the ground."It's over!"Gu Jiuci closed her eyes tight, ready to welcome the most embarrassing moment of two lifetimes when suddenly, a warm jacket fell out of the sky and covered her!Afterward, a large hand supported her waist and pulled her against a firm chest.Gu Jiuci opened her eyes in surprise and met Huo Mingche's deep gaze.This scene was very much like that of an idol drama. The image of them hugging like that was wonderfully romantic and it also drove some people mad with jealousy.Jiang Min stamped her foot in anger and turned to walk
After changing, Gu Jiuci returned via a side door. At this time, performances for the school celebration were happening on stage, but everyone's gaze still immediately landed on her.Gu Jiuci shrugged helplessly. She wanted to be low-key... but her skills didn't allow her!Under everyone's eyes, Gu Jiuci returned to her original seat.As of right now, the news of her engagement to Huo Mingche had not been made public, so she hadn't planned to demonstrate it at school.Her present seat was to the back and she couldn't even see the back of the devil's head.However, after hearing the devil's "came to listen to your speech", she had to admit that she was a little happy."Ci, your scene just then was too perfect!"Lu Xiaosang sidled over and handed her phone over for Gu Jiuci to see."Not a bad picture, send me a copy."Gu Jiuci nodded happily.Lu Xiaosang quickly sent the photo to her WeChat. Gu Jiuci had a spontaneous thought and immediately, secretly passed the photo to the de
Earlier, she had looked up a lot of information. Ji Weiran and Si Chen were both recipients of the Golden Butterfly Award. She suddenly wasn't sure who was better than who!Si Chen took a deep breath. Her fingers landed on the black and white keys and melodious music rang out.From the first note, Ji Weiran's expression changed and Gu Jiuci's heart settled down."Chenchen... as expected, you are just as calm and steady as before."At the end of the piece, the judges quickly gave their scores. By a narrow margin, Si Chen won the opening round.S-Elite High School immediately cheered, but this joyful atmosphere didn't last very long and was quickly shot down..."Round two, Shen Jianxing of X-Elite High School wins!"The students and teachers of S-Elite High School wilted like frost-bitten eggplants at the MC's announcement."It's over; it's over. Lan's violin playing is not good enough. She's not even competition for Shen Jianxing! Now the points are one all. We're back where we
"Since that student isn't feeling well, then substitute in another one of your music society students!""But only that one student in our music society plays violin..." Si Chen said with a frown."Then... how long does she need to recover?"Principal Xu had not expected the situation to be so dire and had no choice but to ask."Stomach cramps isn't something that can be resolved in a short amount of time, right? Furthermore, we can't impact a student's health and wellbeing for the sake of competition..."Judge Tan Mei shook his head in disapproval but provided a generous offer."Why don't you two perform together. You can change the program if you need to."Seeing the situation, Si Chen could only turn to a boy student and ask him, "How's your practice going for plan B?"The student lowered his head in shame. "I never thought such a thing would happen, so I haven't really practiced. There's no way I can duet with you right now..."Hearing these words, Ji Weiran let out a victo
Gu Jiuci coldly glanced over the dumbfounded male student."What are you still doing here? You're not needed here anymore.""Ah? Oh!"The student froze for a few moments under Gu Jiuci's gaze before immediately dashing off the stage as if he was running a hundred-meter sprint.Si Chen looked in disbelief at Gu Jiuci. All kinds of feelings arose in her heart, but she couldn't lie to herself. She was almost moved to tears."What are you planning to play?" she asked awkwardly after she finally found her voice.Gu Jiuci smiled slightly. It looked like she had saved the day at the right moment. Si Chen wasn't angry.She casually picked up a violin and lightly played a short melody. Si Chen's expression immediately changed and she stared at her with wide eyes."You want to use this piece?""They're a gold and silver medalist, if we don't use this one, we can't beat them."Gu Jiuci winked cheekily at Si Chen.Si Chen hesitantly said, "But you haven't practiced in three years..."A
