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

Thinking of the person in the car's forceful and unyielding actions, a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't break free from haunted her.

Xu Su suddenly opened her eyes, a cold smile on her face.

Zhou Mochen, what makes you so great? Do you really think you're invincible?

At this moment, Xu Su made up her mind to no longer be afraid of Zhou Mochen's presence. What was there to be afraid of? If she hesitated, he would still force her to kiss him anyway.

She just started dating someone else, what could Zhou Mochen do about it?

Xu Su suddenly remembered her past life. It seemed that a boy had also shown interest in her during her university days. What happened in the end?

Not long after Zhou Mochen found out about this, the boy who was considered a prominent figure at school knelt at her feet, crying and begging her to let their family business go.

Yes, they were begging Xu Su to let their family's business go.

At that moment, Zhou Mochen leaned against the door frame, watching expressionlessly. Although he didn't say anything, Xu Su felt a chill run down her spine.

Xi Zirong wouldn't do that, would she?

Xu Su couldn't imagine the academic prodigy kneeling and begging for mercy...

~~~

After lunch, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Su packed her winter clothes and left home.

Zhou Mochen's car was parked not far from the welfare housing. Seeing her come out of the building, he was afraid that she would take the bus again, so he quickly drove the car in front of Xu Su.

He got out of the car, opened the door for her, and said, "I'll take you back to school."

Xu Su stood still. "I'll take the bus myself, Zhou Mochen. I don't need you to pick me up or drop me off anymore."

Zhou Mochen frowned, about to say something, when Xu Su raised her hand to interrupt him.

She said impatiently, "Didn't you ask me how to forgive you? Don't bother me, don't force me to ride in your car, respect my thoughts and my choices, okay?"

He pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How long? How long are you going to leave me hanging this time?"

Xu Su didn't want to pay attention, but as she turned around, he grabbed her wrist.

Zhou Mochen's voice was deep, "Make things clear before you leave."

Suddenly pulled back by him, Xu Su felt a surge of anger. She shook off his grip and shouted, "Zhou Mochen, I don't want to hate you this much, but think about what about yourself isn't annoying?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't like you, I don't like you, I don't like you, do you understand?"

With people coming and going nearby, Xu Su didn't want to waste any more time arguing with him. After saying that, she left Zhou Mochen, who was stunned on the spot, without looking back.

Other high school students might think that the pressure of studying is too great and that staying at school is boring and affects their mood, but Xu Su is completely different. When she returns to school, Xu Su feels that both her body and mind are relaxed.

Rather than watching the couple's feigned loving act at home, and rather than dealing with Zhou Mochen's suffocating love, she would rather stay at school and study hard day after day.

Xi Zirong scored full marks in the semi-finals and, according to the rules, should have been recruited into the provincial team to participate in training to prepare for the national competition. However, after he talked to Teacher Wu during Saturday evening self-study, news spread from the school that he would not be going to the provincial team training.

The students who heard the news were all confused. So many students who competed in the competitions worked so hard just to get into the provincial team, and Xi Zirong, who got a perfect score, just gave up this opportunity?

And the school actually condoned it?

Huang Feng and Qian Jia were also puzzled. Following the principle of being in the right place at the right time, the three of them discussed this topic when they were eating together in the cafeteria.

Huang Feng is now in Class 1. Apart from eating in the cafeteria and in the dormitory, she rarely has the chance to gossip with Xu Su and Qian Jia. She only heard the news that Xi Zirong would not be going to the provincial team in the morning, and she was very excited at lunch.

She wasn't one to hold her tongue, and before she'd even taken a couple of bites of her food, she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Xi Shen go to the provincial team? I think with his skill level, he might even be able to represent the country. The school actually agreed to it."

Huang Feng was naturally asking Xu Su, because she believed that the real reason for this news was probably only known to Xu Su besides the teacher.

Qian Jia also peeked over and said, "Everyone in the class is saying that Xi Shen doesn't want to go, saying that he's afraid he won't get good results in the competition, and that it will waste his study time and affect his college entrance exam."

She looked at him with a "who would believe that?" expression. "Not only do the teachers not believe this reason, but none of us students do either. Would Xi Shen be worried about the college entrance examination? Most importantly, how could he not get good results in the competition? Participating in the national competition might just get him a direct admission."

Huang Feng nodded in agreement and turned to Xu Su: "Su Su, do you know why Xi Shen doesn't go to the provincial team?"

Both of her friends turned to look at her, and Xu Su paused in her eating, feeling a little embarrassed.

I wonder if anyone would believe her when she says that Xi Zirong participated in the competition because of her own reasons, and now that she has been eliminated, he has given up on joining the provincial team.

In Xu Su's personal opinion, in terms of credibility, it's probably not as convincing as Xi Zirong's reason of worrying about affecting her college entrance exam scores...

Who would believe that the seemingly aloof and cold-hearted God of the Sea is actually a love-obsessed person at heart!

Xu Su remained silent for a long time, and Qian Jia couldn't help but urge her, "Su Su, speak quickly, we promise not to tell anyone."

"......" Is it too late to say she doesn't know now?

Seeing the expectant looks on his two friends' faces, Xu Su hesitated for a moment before finally coming up with a good explanation: "It's probably because he's going to take the college entrance exam and win the title of top scorer in N province."

In fact, the reason why the school leaders readily agreed to let him not go to the provincial training camp was probably because of this.

Xi Zirong is a great hand; she can play any card and it will be a winning hand.

The title of "provincial champion" brings more glory to a school than any competition.

Huang Feng suddenly looked behind Xu Su, her smile bright: "Is it as Su Su said? God of the Seas?"

“…!” Xu Su suddenly turned around and met Xi Zirong’s smiling eyes.

He must have already eaten; he was holding a row of yogurts, ready to begin his daily feeding routine, when he overheard Xu Su's words.

When the person involved overheard the excuse she made up, Xu Su felt like she was going to die. She lowered her head and ate her rice, ignoring the yogurt that Xi Zirong had placed next to her.

Then they heard the boy's voice: "Yes, Su Su is right, I want to take the college entrance examination."

Xu Su choked... She didn't know when this person had started calling her Su Su, just like Huang Feng and the others.

A bottle of yogurt with a straw already inserted was handed to me.

“....." Xu Su took it, took two sips, and then continued eating.

Qian Jia across from her clicked her tongue and said, "The service is so attentive, they even inserted the straw. Who said our Xi Shen was cold-hearted?"

Huang Feng quickly chimed in, "Jiajia, do you remember last year when Su Su said what her ideal type was? You said the class monitor was the perfect match, but Su Su wouldn't admit it, tsk tsk tsk..."

After what happened last time, the two of them were completely certain that Xu Su and Xi Zirong were a couple.

Xu Su didn't intend to explain, and in fact, she thought so herself.
