Chapter 36
“Gu Xiao! An Yang! Chu An! Just look at this!!!” On Friday, the last week of the show’s recording, Lin Xue suddenly raised her phone and walked up to the three of them, her face filled with horror.
“What is it, Lin Xue?” Gu Xiao asked.
“Chen Li is dead!” Lin Xue was still in a state of shock.
“What?!” An Yang and Gu Xiao hurriedly looked at their cellphones. There were shocking words written on them: Chen Li, the original partic.i.p.ant of the popular variety show “Rural and Urban”, has died. According to the investigation results, she had committed suicide.
Just as Chen Li had thought, when she died, the public’s malice toward her had indeed decreased considerably. In fact, some people had even begun to consider whether Chen Li had been wronged or not.
However, Chen Li had already died, so what was the point of talking about this? Could it be that she could come back to life?
The few of them were immersed in this piece of news, and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
“Her parents… should be very sad,” Lin Xue said as she put her phone into her pocket with a frown.
“When the show ends, let’s all go and see her.” After Gu Xiao said this, she turned around and was just about to walk into the villa.
In the villa, Ji Yao and Meng Fei were currently conversing. On the show, one was a multi-talented young mistress, while the other was a knowledgeable and experienced rich young second-generation heiress. At this moment, they were facing the cameras of the show, and revealed a sweet smile.
Noticing the sound of footsteps behind him, the director turned to look. They looked gloomy, but the director did not take it to heart. He only said, “Since everyone is here, then let’s begin the filming.”
“When this week is over, the show will end early.” The director made arrangements for the various teams. This time, what they had to do was to go to a rural primary school, and help the teachers there teach. The director gave a few simple instructions, and the few of them boarded their cars, preparing to leave.
In the car, Gu Xiao and Chu An sat together.
Chu An could feel that Gu Xiao’s emotions were very repressed, so he pulled her head into his arms.
“Chu An, do you think Chen Li will be as lucky as I am, to be in a parallel world, and live a new life?” Gu Xiao buried her head in Chu An’s clothes, her eyes sparkling with tears.
“She will. She is very kind, and in the end, she will definitely have a good ending,” Chu An comforted.
But who would really be as lucky as they were, to be reborn, and change their originally tragic fate?
“I seem to see myself in her. In my first life, I also jumped off a building to commit suicide.” Gu Xiao sat up straighter, and rubbed her eyes.
“Xiaoxiao…” There was a hint of heartache in Chu An’s eyes.
“Thus, I must make myself stronger. I must seek justice for Chen Li.” Gu Xiao took a deep breath, and looked resolutely at Chu An.
“En, you’ll definitely be able to do it,” Chu An comforted her.
At this time, it was already evening. The cars once again drove into the village, and arrived at the gate of a dilapidated elementary school. There was a marble slab next to it, which was covered with faded paint, and the words “Hope Elementary School” were written dully on it.
Gu Xiao trembled as she watched. She composed herself, but still walked in.
There were very few primary school students in the village. There was only one cla.s.s in every grade, and there were more than forty people in the cla.s.s.
When those children saw Gu Xiao and the others walk in wearing their school uniforms, their eyes were shining.
They walked to the very front of the cla.s.sroom, and a little girl suddenly tugged at the corner of Gu Xiao’s shirt. Gu Xiaohu hurriedly crouched down, and the girl leaned close to Gu Xiao’s ear and whispered, “Sister, your school uniform looks so nice. I too want to wear this school uniform in future.”
Gu Xiao’s eyes stung again.
And right at this moment, a disharmonious voice rang out, “There is a strange smell in the cla.s.sroom.”
It was Meng Fei. She had been frowning ever since she entered the cla.s.sroom, and now, she was even wearing a mask.
“Take it off. We’ll be leaving in a few days, so bear with it for a while.” Ji Yao poked her lightly, telling her to take note of the fact that the camera was still filming.
However, their actions were obvious, and were still seen by those children. They hurriedly explained, “Big Sisters, there’s a pig reared in the backyard. Please don’t dislike it…”
When these words fell, Meng Fei suddenly vomited. She rushed out of the cla.s.sroom and threw up all over the ground.
Even Ji Yao looked embarra.s.sed.
“It’s all right. They are just a little unused to it, not disdainful. Since we are all here, let us begin our evening self-study session!” Gu Xiao said to these children with a smile.
The children nodded obediently, took out their books and read aloud.
