Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Xu Su felt in her school uniform pocket, took out a pack of tissues, pulled one out, and handed it to the little girl.

The next second, her hand was pushed away violently, and Xu Su, caught off guard, stumbled.

Xi Zirong quickly grabbed his shoulder and supported him.

Hu Anni clearly recognized Xu Su, and she said fiercely, "Who wants your fake kindness?"

Huang Feng suddenly jumped up: "Holy crap! You've gone too far! You're trying to steal our Su Su's boyfriend, and Su Su isn't even angry yet, and you've already pushed her?"

Qian Jia clenched her fists, ready to rush forward to argue, but Xu Su grabbed her tightly.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to fight, Xu Su hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "No, no, no, it's not that serious."

Xi Zirong released Xu Su's hand, turned to look at Hu Anqi, whose eyes were red, and said in a cold voice, "This classmate, I was the one who rejected you. If you have any complaints, come at me. Why are you pushing others?"

Being just a young girl, Hu Anqi was both embarrassed and angry after being teased by several people in turn. Her face flushed red: "I didn't mean to, I was just too angry..."

She hastily wiped away her tears with her sleeve, glared at Xu Su angrily again, and ran away.

Xu Su/Huang Feng/Qian Jia: ......

Watching that figure dart away in a flash, Xu Su and the other two fell silent.

Huang Feng was the first to recover, her eyes shining as she looked at Xi Zirong: "Not bad, Master Xi, the peach blossoms have even reached the first graders, tsk tsk..."

Qian Jia quickly chimed in, hooking her arm around Xu Su's and smiling knowingly, "Wow, we see people confessing their feelings to Xi Shen just by walking around. I wonder how many junior girls he gets when they're not around. It's true, being too outstanding makes you popular..."

Xi Zirong: ......

The two of them, speaking in unison, slowly made Xi Zirong's originally composed expression become somewhat uneasy.

He ignored their banter, looked at Xu Su, and said seriously, "I don't know her. I've never seen her before, and I don't know who she is now. Xu Su, you saw that, right? I didn't let her touch me; I dodged her."

Xu Su: "......"

Faced with such a solemn explanation, she didn't know how to respond, and awkwardly turned her body slightly to avoid the boy's gaze.

Then, Xu Su waved the shopping bag in her hand and abruptly changed the subject: "We're going back to the dorm first."

She was carrying a small bag of daily necessities, which contained shampoo, soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and tissues.

The next second, Huang Feng snatched the bag from his hand.

As Xu Su's good friend, and someone who had been fed countless times by Xi Zirong, Huang Feng and Qian Jia always helped him in crucial moments.

Huang Feng, carrying Xu Su's shopping bag, smiled like an aunt: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the dorm? Let Xi Shen explain things to you properly. You two can talk slowly. Just don't let this cause any misunderstandings. I'll take your things back to the dorm for you."

Qian Jia strongly agreed with Huang Feng's words. She let go of Xu Su's hand, her face still showing lingering anger towards Hu Anqi.

Finally, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Su Su, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're too soft-hearted. Someone's practically stealing your boyfriend, and you're still handing her tissues."

Xu Su hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself. It wasn't really about poaching someone...

Xi Zirong, however, found these words quite agreeable and, unusually, showed some patience towards other girls. He thanked Huang Feng and the other girl.

He pulled Xu Su's hand again, lowered his head and asked, "Xu Su, you really don't mind at all seeing me being surrounded by other girls? If I hadn't seen you, were you planning to just leave and pretend you didn't see anything?"

Xi Zirong's question was so direct that Qian Jia, who was about to say something more, immediately fell silent, no longer wanting to disturb them. She exchanged an excited glance with Huang Feng and then left in a flash.

With her hand held by Xi Zirong, Xu Su watched helplessly as her two friends abandoned her and ran away...

"..." She looked up at Xi Zirong and realized that this person was amazing. Without her noticing, he had 'bought off' both of her only two friends.

With a slight increase in pressure, Xi Zirong urged, "Answer me."

Xu Su looked around. Although the path was secluded, some classmates would occasionally pass by. She had no intention of creating more gossip for her classmates.

Without much effort, Xu Su broke free from Xi Zirong's grasp and walked towards the back of a large tree.

There was a large rock behind the tree. Xu Su glanced at it, and after confirming that the rock surface was clean, she sat down and looked up at Xi Zirong who had followed her.

The boy's face remained calm as he stubbornly waited for her answer.

Xu Su had a headache. She wanted to ask Xi Zirong if she minded being confessed to by other girls.

To be honest, I still mind a little...

Also, Xi Zirong asked if she planned to leave directly if he hadn't noticed her...

In fact, if he hadn't come over, she would have already been preparing to pull Huang Feng and the others to take a detour.

As for Qian Jia's claim of being "poached," others may not know, but surely he does?

Their relationship cannot be described as "poaching".

Xu Su remained silent for a long time, without saying a word.

Xi Zirong waited for a while, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, she slowly squatted down and looked Xu Suping in the eye.

He tentatively took Xu Su's hand and explained again, "Just this once, just this once. I'm not as popular with girls as Qian Jia said, and I don't like them. Xu Su, I only like you."

The boy's voice was extremely serious, making Xu Su realize that he was genuinely afraid that she would misunderstand.

She found herself unable to remain unmoved in front of this person; he was too sincere.

Letting him hold her hand, Xu Su finally answered his question directly: "I mind, Xi Zirong. If you had really been pulled by her just now, I would have minded a lot."

Xu Su rarely falls for someone, so how could she not mind if someone else were to take her place?

His hand was suddenly gripped tightly, and the boy's eyes shone with light, unable to hide his smile. "If I mind, why don't you come over? Xu Su, if you come over on your own initiative, I will be very happy, very happy."

"..." Xi Zirong's gaze was too intense, and Xu Su lowered her eyes uncomfortably: "What would I do over there? Watch you make other girls cry?"

She didn't go over, and everyone was already jealous of her. If she went over like she was joining in the fun, wouldn't she really become a villain who just wanted to see people make fools of themselves?

Thinking of the girl with tears streaming down her face, Xu Su asked curiously, "What did you do? The girl was crying like that."

Her words made Xi Zirong frown. "I didn't do anything, and I didn't make her cry. What does it have to do with me if she wants to cry?"

He seemed a little aggrieved, maintaining his squatting position, holding her hands with his hands, his eyes full of frustration: "I was walking along the road when she stopped me. I don't even know her. She started crying after saying just a few words and even tried to pull me away."

"..." Xu Su could easily imagine how this person would have a cold face when facing the girl who blocked his way.
