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

Huang Feng's words, which were just about to pour out her troubles to her brothers, came to an abrupt halt. Her eyes widened like copper bells, and her gaze shifted back and forth between Xu Su and Zhou Mochen.

Qian Jia, who was sitting outside, also looked over in shock.

Only Huang Chao, despite being incredibly curious, kept his eyes straight ahead, not daring to cast even the slightest probing glance.

Amid the tense atmosphere, Xu Su, the person being questioned, felt relieved. She had initially suspected that Zhou Mochen's unusual behavior might also be due to his rebirth while retaining his memories.

She paused deliberately, looking somewhat timid: "...I don't know you."

Huang Feng also realized what was happening and chimed in, "Our Su Su just got into No. 1 High School from Kang County. I remember my brother just came from Beijing with you, right? How would Su Su know you?"

Huang Chao, being perceptive, had already sensed something was amiss. Seeing the younger sister's casual attitude towards the boss, he whispered, "Fengfeng!" with a warning look in his eyes.

Xu Su looked across at Zhou Mochen, whose gaze seemed to never leave her. Their eyes met again, and she repeated, "I really haven't seen you before."

Zhou Mochen remained silent for a long time before finally smiling slightly, his tone warm and unlike his previous coldness: "Perhaps it was just a reflection from the glass window, I misread it, I'm sorry."

This person has an extremely good appearance. When he has a cold face, he looks like an unapproachable, aloof beauty. But now when he smiles, he looks handsome and refined.

Xu Su wasn't someone who judged by appearances; she'd seen every expression on that face before and was already immune to it. She just sighed, realizing that her flustered expression when she first saw him had indeed made him suspicious. Fortunately, they hadn't actually met before.

Xu Su gave a stiff smile in response, secretly reminding herself to be more careful about her facial expressions in the future.

"Sorry to bother you, is there anything you'd like to eat? Let your brother pay." This time Zhou Mochen was speaking to Huang Feng. "Don't be shy, just order whatever you'd like to drink."

After saying that, he turned around and gestured to Huang Chao, "Take your sister and the others to buy some food."

The milk tea shop also sells hand-pulled pancakes, grilled sausages, and grilled meatballs. Huang Feng glanced at her brother's expression and, seeing him nod, cheered and pulled Qian Jia and Xu Su along. The three of them ran off to order a few skewers of food and came back.

Although Xu Su didn't want to accept Zhou Mochen's favor at all, she had to try her best to act like an ordinary high school student. Since Huang Feng and Qian Jia had already ordered something, she couldn't stand out, so she ordered a skewer of grilled sausage with Huang Feng.

When Huang Chao returned after ordering, Zhou Mochen had already left. After paying, Huang Chao reminded his sister to call him to pick her up after military training, and then he also left.

As soon as the two left, Qian Jia exaggeratedly made a panting gesture. She had been silent all along, and only then did she dare to speak: "My god, your brother's boss has such a strong aura. I finally understand what 'majesty' means when they talk about it in TV dramas."

Huang Feng nodded with a sense of sympathy: "My brother has really worked hard. It's not easy to make money working for such a boss. I don't even dare to breathe loudly."

She took a bite of the grilled sausage. "But he really is handsome. Even TV stars aren't as good-looking as him. I thought some celebrity had come. When he sat across from me, I was so surprised that I swallowed hard. I never expected that he was my brother's boss."

Zhou Mochen's lemonade, which he had just taken a sip of, was still on the table. Xu Su listened silently to Huang Feng and the others, not intending to express her opinion. Unexpectedly, after the two girls chatted for a few words, they suddenly turned their heads to her.

Huang Feng asked, "Su Su, did you really not know him before? I thought he was going to cause trouble. The way he looked so cold was really scary."

Qian Jia chimed in, "He just suddenly showed up, expressionless, and asked if you knew him. Then he said he saw something wrong because of the reflection in the glass window, and he didn't know what he saw."

Xu Su couldn't tell the truth: "I really don't know him. I was just looking at the scenery on the street when he came up to me for no reason and asked me how I knew Brother Fengfeng's boss. This is my first time in Changshi. I've been studying in the countryside of Kang County before."

Huang Feng and the other woman nodded in agreement: "Our Su Su is so beautiful, it's possible that he's mistaken."

Xu Su sighed and finished the sausage in her hand in a few bites. "Let's not talk about him anymore, let's go back."

When they got back to the dorm, they found that, apart from Qiu Dandan and Chen Lu, whose hair was already short and who still had their previous hairstyles, everyone else had cut their hair short.

After spending the afternoon together, Qian Jia and Xu Suhuang Feng were no longer as awkward as they were in the morning. The three of them rested in the dormitory for a while and then went to the cafeteria for dinner together.

After dinner, they went back to the dormitory to get the books they needed for evening self-study. Xu Su took the Chinese textbook, planning to review the texts she had memorized in her previous life. Huang Feng took the English textbook, while Qian Jia brought the math book.

Upon entering the classroom, they found that there were already more than a dozen students. The three of them found a table with four students sitting side by side in the middle and then noticed that the television on the blackboard had been turned on by someone and was playing a movie that they couldn't name but felt very familiar with.

Xu Su opened her newly acquired Chinese textbook and listened to the somewhat noisy sounds in the classroom. Although she was there, she felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

More than a decade later, with the internet becoming increasingly developed, Xu Su once saw a sentence on a well-known forum: "The figure running on the playground, the sunset outside the window in the middle of summer, the cool breeze after evening self-study, youth that can never be returned."

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Su felt the surroundings suddenly quiet. Teacher Wu walked in with a notebook in his hand. He glanced at the classroom, focusing on several empty seats, and his expression darkened.

He then picked up a piece of chalk, wrote his name on the blackboard, and turned around to say, "Let me introduce myself. I am your homeroom teacher, and I teach mathematics. My surname is Wu."

The students greeted each other in unison, "Hello, Teacher Wu."

Teacher Wu nodded: "Next, let's all get to know the new students. Call out their names and I'll see who's not here."

It had been so long that Xu Su couldn't possibly remember what happened during her first evening self-study session in her first year of high school. When she heard that roll call was suddenly being called, she was surprised, as she hadn't been told that evening self-study was entirely voluntary. At the same time, she felt that this was something her homeroom teacher would do.

Xu Su silently mourned for a second on behalf of the students who did not come to evening self-study.

Soon, the names of all 58 students in the class had been called, and six students were absent from evening self-study.

"If you know these six people, please tell them that their seats are in the last row before the first monthly exam. We will start arranging the seats now."

The classroom seats were all haphazardly arranged. Instead of making everyone stand up and rearrange the seating, Teacher Wu stood on the podium, looked around, and called out the students who were too tall and were blocking the view of the students behind them, and moved them to the back one by one.
