After the post surged to the top of the trending list, countless people petitioned not to cancel the livestream.

The trending hashtags were all about Gu Nanyan.

Originally restless and sighing all day, Director Rong was stunned when he saw these trends.

Then, tears welled up in his eyes.

Wasn’t this the very purpose of the show?

He had forgotten his original intention when creating the program, his mind clouded by ratings.

If he cared so much about ratings and making money, why bother with this show? He could have just produced popular variety shows—comedy or game shows—that were guaranteed to draw big audiences.

Wiping his eyes, Director Rong told his assistant, Jiang Jianshu, to announce that the livestream would not be canceled. He would stick to it.

Now calmed down, Director Rong regained his rationality and refused to be distracted by external factors.

The current scale of Going to School was already beyond his expectations. He couldn’t afford to be too greedy.

However, while the livestream would continue, individual streams would be canceled, keeping only those in the classroom, activity room, and playground.

Gu Ruozhu had assumed Gu Nanyan was doomed, but to her shock, so many people came forward in support.

She gritted her teeth in frustration.

They must be paid supporters—what was so great about a stupid livestream anyway?

These people must be insane!

Determined to pick apart Gu Nanyan’s flaws, Gu Ruozhu decided to watch the livestream herself. She refused to believe there was any "magic" to it.

Opening her phone, she tuned in.

On screen, Gu Nanyan was deeply engrossed in a math textbook.

Gu Ruozhu scoffed. How boring!

But she had to admit, Gu Nanyan was putting on quite the act—flipping from middle school math to high school math like it was nothing. Without a teacher, there was no way she actually understood it.

Switching to her computer for a clearer view, Gu Ruozhu noticed that after reading theorems and example problems, Gu Nanyan immediately tackled the three practice questions at the end.

Leaning in, she found the questions surprisingly tricky. Wait, how were these solved again? She had graduated from a prestigious university—surely she could handle high school freshman math.

Before she knew it, Gu Ruozhu was completely absorbed.

Half an hour later, she snapped back to reality.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap—Gu Nanyan was toxic!

She had just spent half an hour studying math without realizing it.

Horrified, Gu Ruozhu jumped up and backed away.

How was this possible? Was there really some kind of magic?

Other netizens were just as skeptical, refusing to believe Gu Nanyan had such an effect.

[No way, this has to be exaggerated. A study livestream with real results? I don’t buy it!]

[Same. She must’ve bought these comments. Unfollowing—I used to like her, but this is just lame marketing.]

[Pathetic. Trying to act like some genius? Wait till she’s exposed.]

Some remained doubtful, but others decided to give it a shot.

And once they did—boom.

[OMG, it actually works! I’ve been struggling with English, but watching Gu Nanyan’s stream helped me focus and learn.]

[Me ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍too! My civil service exam is saved! Thank you, Smoke Queen! You’re my savior!

I’ve been out of school for years and could never concentrate, especially on quantitative reasoning. But today, I finally get it! I’m so happy!]

[Smoke Queen is a lifesaver—I’m passing my CPA exam for sure.]

[Construction certification, here I come!]

[You won’t believe this—I prayed to Smoke Queen before my exam and ranked third in class! Third! My teacher was shocked—I’d never even made top ten before.]

[Smoke Queen is legit. I’m worshipping her now.]

[All hail Smoke Queen!]

Amid the heated discussions, Gu Nanyan remained unchanged.

While others were swayed by ratings and online chatter, she stayed focused.

Critics called her boring? She ignored them, absorbed in her studies.

Praise poured in? She didn’t bask in it—just kept studying.

She was truly here to learn.

Her dedication moved the show’s celebrity and student guests.

They began voluntarily studying in the classroom. Though they couldn’t match Gu Nanyan’s all-day stamina, it was progress.

Seeing this, Director Rong’s eyes turned red.

This was the show’s true purpose.

One girl, Susu, idolized Gu Nanyan.

Coming from a modest background, she had good grades but never learned calligraphy—her handwriting was terrible.

Other guests, whether celebrities or students, wrote beautifully.

Every time she saw their elegant strokes while struggling to even hold a brush, she felt humiliated.

Before, she had practiced secretly in her dorm, but the noise and cramped space slowed her progress.

Inspired by Gu Nanyan, she mustered the courage to practice in the classroom.

When others heard, some egged her on:

"Go ahead! Gu Nanyan’s there—ask her for tips."

Others sneered:

"You think she can teach you calligraphy? She’s still drawing straight lines while others write in cursive."

Most mocked her:

"Just trying to suck up, huh?"

With Gu Nanyan’s popularity, sticking close to her would surely earn more screen time.

Susu stayed silent, packing her things and heading to the classroom.

She would give it her all—just like she had studied relentlessly to change her fate.

Huo Junya, the most popular student guest, sat quietly on her bed.

Smart, quick-witted, and beautiful, she had joined Going to School to pave her way into the entertainment industry—her mother was a well-connected agent.

While others fawned over Gu Nanyan, Huo Junya couldn’t care less.

Her mother had seen countless shooting stars in the industry—flash-in-the-pan celebrities with no real talent or staying power.

Besides, according to her, Gu Nanyan was a social climber who only cared about status.

Susu had no connections, no looks—Gu Nanyan would never give her the time of day.

This trip would only end in rejection.

As Susu walked out, Huo Junya shot her a look of pity and disdain.
