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

At the bridal shop, Xu Su, one of the bridesmaids, changed into a bridesmaid dress that had been prepared in advance. Unlike the bridesmaids in the countryside who casually wear their own clothes at weddings, Li Tingting's wedding was quite solemn.

They even prepared identical outfits for the two bridesmaids.

She wore a light gray, off-the-shoulder long tulle dress with sheer sleeves that opened from the shoulder straps, creating a slightly off-the-shoulder look that revealed her delicate collarbone and fair arms. The neckline was a bit low compared to her usual style.

Standing is fine, but if you bend over slightly, a little bit of your chest will be exposed. Having been reborn for so long, Xu Su is used to wearing school uniform short T-shirts, so she is still a little unaccustomed to wearing this.

Fortunately, everyone was busy doing the bride's makeup. There was more than one bride at this bridal shop today, and all the makeup artists were very busy, so not many people were specifically watching her.

The makeup style of that era was bold and colorful, with bright eyeshadow, deep eyeliner, and thick blush applied layer by layer, which allowed Li Tingting to cover up her true appearance.

As Xu Su watched from the side, she decided that she would do her own bridesmaid makeup.

After applying a light layer of primer, Xu Su put on some foundation, then slowly drew her natural eyebrow shape with an eyebrow pencil. After thinking for a moment, she also applied eyeliner and mascara.

Her eyelashes are very long and naturally curled, so they can easily clump together, which is why she only applies a light coat of mascara.

Finally, use a cotton swab to apply lipstick and blend it onto your lips little by little.

The series of steps were completed in about ten minutes, and Xu Su looked at herself in the mirror in a good mood.

As a result, she saw in the mirror that the makeup artists who had been busy around her had all turned to look at her, staring blankly at her, almost dumbfounded.

The girl wore a gauze dress, her skin was as white as jade, her black hair was as black as ink, her eyes were sparkling, and she had a slight smile that made people unable to look away.

This must be what they mean by "skin as white as ice and bones as jade."

Xu Su looked at herself in the mirror and was momentarily lost in thought. Compared to before makeup, there seemed to be no change, except that her tender lips were redder than usual, like ripe persimmons waiting to be picked.

"Little sister, where do you live?" Two other brides getting married today in the bridal shop exclaimed in amazement, "Are there any girls this beautiful in Kang County?"

"You're so beautiful, how come I've never heard of you before? Are you really from Kang County? How do you maintain such fair skin?"

"Your skin is so good. Even though we both wear makeup, you don't have any pores on your face."

"Little sister, do you have a boyfriend? Give me his contact information. I have a younger brother who is studying at university in Changshi. He's good-looking and has a good temper. He's looking for a girlfriend. How about I ask him to come over right now?"

My family owns two shops in Kang County...

"..." Xu Su's arms were each held by one of the two brides, who were enthusiastically introducing their family's conditions.

This enthusiasm stunned Xu Su, leaving her momentarily at a loss for what to do.

It was Li Tingting who came to her rescue, saying, "My sister is still in high school. She shouldn't be dating so early. Don't scare her."

She smiled and put her arm around Xu Su, looking at her up close, and couldn't help but sigh, "Su Su, you're good enough to be a movie star. You could become famous just with that face."

"I have no interest in acting." Xu Su said helplessly. She had no dream of becoming a star. Rather than being a star in the public eye, she would rather do more math problems.

My hair is down, which is a bit inconvenient.

Xu Su frowned and looked at it for a while, then braided her hair and let it hang down her right shoulder. It matched her gentle bridesmaid dress quite well.

Just as Xu Su finished fixing her hair, her phone rang.

...Shen Chen?

After receiving his call last time, Xu Su saved Shen Chen's number in her contacts.

She was puzzled as to why this person was calling her.

Without much hesitation, Xu Su pressed the answer button.

The next second, Shen Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xu, I'm in Chang City again. I heard you're in Kang County now. Can I come and see you?"

He maintained his usual nonchalant tone, but what he said made Xu Su raise an eyebrow in surprise.

She walked to a corner before answering, "What did you come to see me for?"

"I'm not familiar with Changshi, and you're the only local I know. It just so happens that you're on summer vacation, so how about you show me around your beautiful scenery?"

"Not very good." Xu Su refused decisively. "I'm going back to Changshi this afternoon. School starts tomorrow, so I don't have time to take you out. Go find Zhou Mochen instead."

"Brother Zhou is very busy; he doesn't even have time to go out for drinks."

Shen Chen seemed to have been prepared. "I looked it up. There's a famous ancient city in Kang County with a history of over a thousand years. Since you're here, why don't you take me to see it?"

"..." Xu Su paused for a moment, completely unable to believe that Young Master Shen had the leisure to stroll around the so-called ancient city.

Shen Chen should have just graduated from university at this time and was taking over the Shen Group's branch company for training. How could he have time to fly to Chang City?

Furthermore, Shen Chen is a true playboy. Even if he comes to Chang City, he'll definitely go to the best nightclubs and pick up the hottest women. As for this ancient city...

Was this just to tease her for fun?

Xu Su: "Are you really in Changshi?"

"Yes, they arrived yesterday," Shen Chen replied casually, then asked her with a smile, "Xu, your friend has come from afar, shouldn't you show them some hospitality?"

Xu Su laughed, but she didn't believe it at all. She said perfunctorily, "Okay, come on, I'll show you around the 'Ancient City'."

She emphasized the words "ancient city with a thousand-year history".

"Okay! That's what I've been waiting for you to say."

The other person suddenly raised their voice, which startled Xu Su.

"Where should we meet? I'll give you a navigation location."

There was the sound of a car door opening on the other end of the phone. Judging from the sound, Shen Chen had already gotten into the car and was ready to leave.

They were really into their acting...

Xu Su casually gave the name of the wedding hotel and then hung up the phone.

He silently thought Shen Chen was a complete idiot.

He probably doesn't think it's funny to tease her like this.

She doesn't believe it at all, okay?

Around 11 a.m., the bride's makeup was finally finished. After changing into her wedding dress, the wedding car stopped outside the store.

Xu Su finally met her cousin-in-law.

He had a buzz cut, was about 1.7 meters tall, and his features could only be described as barely decent. He arrived too late, and as soon as he entered, the makeup artist in charge of the newlyweds rushed to greet him.

After quickly applying a simple makeup to his face and changing him into a groom's suit, Xu Su glanced at the time as he got back into the wedding car; it was almost 11:30.

After the car stopped, Xu Su kept her duties as a bridesmaid in mind, carrying a small bag containing her phone, and followed Li Tingting into the hotel.
