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

"...!" Xu Su's eyes widened, and she suddenly leaned forward, snatching his phone away. Her movement was so big that the plastic stool slipped uncontrollably, and she tilted towards Shen Chen.

With a sudden tightening on her left shoulder, Xu Su successfully grabbed Shen Chen's phone, but he pulled her into his arms to steady her.

"What's the panic?" Young Master Shen's usually nonchalant tone rose slightly as he scolded, "Why didn't you just say you wanted my phone? What if you break it while trying to snatch it like that?"

Xu Su didn't have time to reply. She quickly pulled her hand off her shoulder, looked down at the chat history on her phone, and was a little dizzy from reading some of the technical terms. The chat box showed 'Assistant Liu'.

Shen Chen was discussing business with his assistant.

This realization made Xu Su extremely embarrassed, and she returned the phone.

Shen Chen didn't answer, he just looked at her, "Who do you think I'm chatting with?"

"..." Xu Su simply put her phone on the table and stammered for a long time without being able to give a coherent answer.

Finally, he awkwardly came up with an excuse: "I want to see how you seduce women."

"Do I need to seduce women?" Shen Chen chuckled, not exposing her lie. "Be careful your 'boyfriend' doesn't misunderstand, since you're so curious about my phone."

He emphasized the word "boyfriend," as if he meant something specific.

Xu Su was completely numb, feeling that the situation had never been so bad. Why did Shen Chen actually come?!

She just couldn't understand it! Young Master Shen actually came to this kind of rural wedding banquet!

She was a little worried that Shen Chen would tell Zhou Mochen about her suspected relationship with Xi Zirong...

Xi Zirong, sitting to the left, exuded a low-pressure aura. Even from a distance, Xu Su could feel the chill. She didn't dare to look at her at all, and her ostrich-like nature kicked in. She silently started picking at her food.

The others at the table seemed to sense that something was amiss, and even the usually bold Huang Feng and Chen Ni remained silent.

She had only been sitting for a little over ten minutes, and Xu Su had only eaten a few bites of food when she heard someone calling her name from not far away.

The newlyweds had already reached this side when they started toasting. Li Tingting waved to Xu Su, "Su Su, come here for a second."

"..." Although somewhat reluctant, Xu Su nodded stiffly.

Just as she stood up, her left wrist was gripped tightly. Xi Zirong looked at her and said, "Drink less."

Xi Zirong's expression wasn't good at the moment. It was clear that he didn't want Xu Su to go and offer toasts, but he didn't ask his girlfriend, who was a bridesmaid, not to go or forbid her from drinking. He was just concerned and told her to drink less.

He was still that gentle, reasonable boy with caring eyes.

Xu Su's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded, "Okay."

This scene made Shen Chen click his tongue in amazement.

Xu Su froze and quickly walked towards Li Tingting.

She thought to herself, "Fine, I'll just offer the toast. It's good to be able to leave that awkward situation..."

Soon, Xu Su realized she was wrong.

The table that Li Tingting invited her to was very close to Xi Zirong's table, and it was full of the groom's brothers, Luo Shaofeng.

They were all young people who had noticed Xu Su, the bridesmaid, long ago. After finding out that she was the bride's cousin, they asked Li Tingting to call her over to meet her. Now that they saw Xu Su had actually come, they were briefly amazed for a few seconds before they started to cheer.

"Fengzi is so lucky, his sister-in-law is so beautiful."

"Now that you've gotten married, don't forget your brothers! Tell us how old your sister-in-law is, and if she really has a boyfriend?"

They clearly didn't believe Xu Su's answer on stage. A young man with dyed yellow hair laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend, as long as you're not married. Everyone has a chance."

Li Tingting put her arm around Xu Su's hand and laughed as she scolded her husband's brothers, "Don't scare my sister, she's still a high school student."

They're all brothers, and everyone knows what kind of family Luo Shaofeng's wife comes from. As her cousin, she's most likely a girl from a small village in Kang County.

They showed little respect even to Li Tingting, and they made even more unrestrained jokes at Xu Su, the bridesmaid.

There's no shortage of busybodies everywhere, and this table is no exception.

The blond-haired guy poured a glass of beer and handed it over, saying, "Little sister-in-law, want to have a drink with us? We're brothers with your brother-in-law, we'll all be family from now on, just call us 'brother'."

"A high school student? She's so young and already has a boyfriend?"

"Sure enough, no matter how young a beautiful woman is, she's never idle; wherever she goes, someone will be eyeing her."

"With my sister-in-law's looks and qualities, she probably had no shortage of male classmates pursuing her in junior high."

"I'd heard that these days you can only find virgins in kindergartens, and I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Xu Su frowned, her face full of impatience, as she listened to these people's words. She couldn't understand why all of Li Tingting's husband's brothers were such petty thugs.

Or is it that they are bullying Li Tingting because she married into a higher social class, so they don't even pay attention to the limits when joking, and it's all full of malice?

Xu Su didn't accept the beer for a while, which made the blond-haired guy a little embarrassed.

Li Tingting couldn't help but push her silent husband.

Luo Shaofeng reluctantly took the wine glass from Huang Mao's hand. He smiled and apologized to his brother, "My sister-in-law is young, so don't go too far with your jokes. I'll drink this glass for her."

He tried to smooth things over, but the blond-haired guy wasn't happy about it, feeling he'd lost face. He sneered, "Oh, Fengzi's feeling sorry for her now? I've heard that half of your sister-in-law's butt belongs to your brother-in-law. So you've already used it?"

After saying that, he felt he had guessed correctly and laughed out loud.

Hearing the voice, Xu Su's mind went blank. Before she could think, she grabbed the wine glass in front of her and splashed it on his head. "You look like a human being, but if you can't speak like a human being, go brush your teeth first. What kind of idiot are you to dare to talk to me like that?"

After spilling the wine, Xu Su was still furious and slammed the glass to the ground, shouting, "I've been with your mother!"

She suddenly became furious. The blond-haired guy was stunned for a second before he reacted. His face turned ferocious. "Fuck your mother, you dare to splash me?"

The man cursed filthy language and lunged at Xu Su with his claws outstretched.

He was very fast, and his hand swung towards Xu Su's neck. She didn't have time to dodge and was hit squarely by the blond-haired boy's hand. She fell backward, clutching her neck and crying out in pain.

The blond-haired boy lunged forward again, but the next second, he was kicked several meters away, crashing into the back of a chair at the next table before falling heavily to the ground. He clutched his ribs, unable to get up.

Xu Su thought she was going to fall, but unexpectedly her wrist was tightened and she was quickly pulled into someone's arms. When she looked up, she saw Shen Chen's face.

His eyes were filled with anxiety as he bent down to check her arms and shoulders. "How are you? Where are you hurt?"

Before Xu Su could speak, she felt a tightness around her waist and was embraced again, enveloped by a familiar scent.

Xi Zirong, her hands trembling, grasped the wrist of the woman who was clutching her neck and coaxed her, "Su Su, be good, let me see how badly you're hurt?"

His voice was trembling.
