Familiar Feeling

"I don't care what method you use. Ji Yao's popularity is in third place now, and she was even injured in the show. If you continue to take this lightly, don't blame me for losing your job."

"I…" The other party hung up.

Xu Dong thought about the past few days very carefully. Something kept going wrong with Ji Yao, but every time it happened, it was really like a coincidence. Someone must be behind it.

But who exactly was that person? Was he a staff member or a child participating in the show?

Tonight was destined to be difficult for Director Xu.

After the three-day adaptation period ended, the show reached a new stage—school life.

The children were all 16 years old. If they sacrificed their studies to participate in the show, they would be attacked by the netizens. Therefore, the production team specially arranged for them to enter school to study on weekdays and go to the villa for daily filming on the weekends.

The school that the production team found was also the school that Ji Yao and Lin Xue used to go to—City No. 1 High School, the best high school in the city. Its university admission rate was as high as 99%. Many students had gone on to the top universities in the country, and some students with good family backgrounds would choose to study abroad.

Ji Yao and Lin Xue had not been in the same class. Although they had heard of each other, they were not particularly familiar with each other.

After communications between the production team and the school, the school agreed to arrange for the children to be in the same class. However, in order not to affect the students' studies, the show switched to using hidden camera filming, and would be recording episodes before broadcast.

This meant that the program might be maliciously edited. Gu Xiao frowned.

Gu Xiao recalled that in her previous life, the few of them were arranged to be in Class 9. It was probably the same this time. Class 9 was a class that specialized in science and was also Ji Yao's original class.

The difficulty of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the class was similar to competition-level difficulty. In her previous life, other than An Yang, who could keep up, the rest of the children from the countryside had become the last in the class.

Although she had been reborn, she didn't have to study mathematics, physics, and chemistry in ancient times! Gu Xiao thought to herself. Sigh, she had lived for three lifetimes, but she still couldn't escape the fate of five years of preparation for high school exams with three years spent on practicde exams.

The weather was very good on Monday, and they took a car to the school. From the outside, it was indeed worthy of being City No. 1 High School. Just the area alone was more than twice the size of their school in the suburbs. Moreover, the environment was very good. The school building was built in the European style and looked very gorgeous.

If it was in her previous life, Gu Xiao would definitely be stunned by this school. However, Gu Xiao had already become a female emperor and owned the entire country and countless treasures. Now, when she looked at the school in front of her, she would not be shocked.

However, she still had to pretend to be as surprised as An Yang and Chen Li. After all, this was the dream of many students. Anyone who had some pursuit for their studies would be excited to be accepted by this school.

"Gu Xiao! I'm so happy. Ever since I was young, my dream has been to get into a good university. If I have the chance to study in such a school…" An Yang held Gu Xiao's arm and said happily.

"Not to mention An Yang, even I, who don't really study all that much, suddenly have the motivation to study when I see such a school." Chen Li mocked herself as she secretly held Gu Xiao's other arm.

"Then don't disappoint the production team's good intentions. You have to study hard!" Gu Xiao felt that the weight on her shoulders had increased a lot. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

On the other hand, on the city team's side… As Ji Yao was originally in Class 9, she had gone to report to the teacher early.

"So you guys were originally studying in such a small place?" Meng Fei said disdainfully.

"Your heart is higher than the sky. I'm afraid the entire Earth can't accommodate you," Lin Xue retorted angrily. She really hated people like Meng Fei. Just because her family had some money, she acted unreasonable.

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever you want to think I mean." Lin Xue brushed her hair with her hand and quickly walked away from her.

In order to maintain the teaching progress, the teacher did not arrange for them to introduce themselves. He directly let them enter the class and sit in the seats that had been prepared for them.

Gu Xiao was about 165 centimeters tall. The teacher placed her in the row with more girls, and she sat in the second last row.

However, from the moment Gu Xiao entered the classroom, she suddenly felt a gaze staring at her. However, it only paused on her for a moment before disappearing.

However, this feeling was very clear. Hence, Gu Xiao looked around from her seat, but she still could not find the source of the gaze. In addition, the director was filming somewhere so if her actions were maliciously edited, it would be considered as her not paying attention to the lesson. Hence, Gu Xiao could only suppress her thoughts.

But… there was a familiar feeling.
