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

"Xu Su, don't joke like that." Zhou Mochen's smile vanished instantly, and he said seriously, "I really forgot. You don't think I showed it to her on purpose, do you?"

"...Drive." Xu Su was extremely annoyed and turned her head away from him, refusing to look at him. "I don't want to talk to you right now."

After a long silence, Zhou Mochen obediently started the car, and a few minutes later, the black Land Rover stopped at the main entrance of the No. 1 Middle School.

The school gate was packed with students preparing for morning self-study. Xu Su didn't want to say a word and was about to get out of the car when Zhou Mochen grabbed her wrist.

“I won’t let women stay at home anymore. This time is an exception. I promise there won’t be a next time. Su Su, we’ve only been together for a short time. Please don’t be angry with me.”

With some time before morning self-study, Xu Su stiffly let Zhou Mochen pull her along, sitting in the car listening to his gentle coaxing for a long time, before finally getting out of the car without saying a word.

She didn't know why she was so angry about this. Others might think it was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she was really angry. Even though Zhou Mochen promised it wouldn't happen again, she was still angry.

As soon as she got off the bus, many classmates stared at her, but Xu Su didn't care and walked into the classroom with a straight face.

The seat was the same, but the deskmate changed from Gu Yunjia to Qian Jia.

Qian Jia was already waiting in her seat. When she saw Xu Su enter the classroom, her eyes lit up. She only leaned over after Xu Su sat down.

Her voice was a little excited, "Su Su, you're finally back to class! Why didn't you tell us beforehand? We couldn't get through to you on the phone these past few days."

Xu Su didn't want to tell Qian Jia that her phone had been confiscated, so she patted Qian Jia's arm and sincerely apologized, "I only confirmed last night that I would be coming to class today. I'm sorry, Jiajia, for making you worry."

The seat at the back of the classroom was empty. Xi Zirong was most likely still in the hospital. The extent of the incident and its spread could be judged by the fact that all the students in the class quieted down as soon as she entered the classroom.

Students around her were listening intently, but Qian Jia thoughtfully didn't ask any questions.

It wasn't until the bell rang that Huang Feng, having heard the news, ran to the Rocket Class to call them to go to the cafeteria for breakfast together.

Although Xu Su had already eaten, she still got up and followed her two friends to the cafeteria.

The first-year high school students haven't started their military training yet, but the second-year students have already started school, and the cafeteria is packed with people.

Xu Su bought a bottle of water and nothing else, then sat down and watched Huang Feng and Qian Jia eat.

Seeing her two friends looking at her hesitantly, Xu Su sighed, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng patted her chest and made a gesture to catch her breath, "That's great, you're still the Su Su I know."

Ever since discovering that her friend had an unusual relationship with her brother's boss, Huang Feng has been plagued by self-doubt, feeling that Xu Su and they are no longer the same kind of people.

Huang Feng said sullenly, "Su Su, you have no idea. I've been calling my brother several times a day these past few days, just to ask about you. But he's kept it a secret from me, treating me like an enemy, and hasn't given me a single word."

"I'm fine. Don't make things difficult for your brother. It's a big taboo for your brother to spread his private affairs without Zhou Mochen's permission."

Xu Su was not surprised at all. To work under Zhou Mochen, keeping one's mouth shut was a basic requirement. Even the smallest things could not be revealed. How could Huang Chao possibly break such a taboo?

Upon hearing the name Zhou Mochen, both Huang Feng and Qian Jia hesitated.

After a pause, Qian Jia couldn't help but ask, "Is this the person who called you in the car the day you went back to your grandmother's house?"

"Yes, it's him. He's also the one who donated five million yuan to our school for scholarships. He's Fengfeng's boss," Xu Su nodded.

Although her classmates had been talking about it these past few days, Qian Jia was still shocked and stared wide-eyed. "When did you become so close? Su Su, I remember meeting you at the bubble tea shop in our first year of high school. You two didn't know each other then, did you?"

Xu Su spends most of her time at school. Students at No. 1 High School rarely have holidays, and she rarely goes home even during holidays. Huang Feng and Qian Jia racked their brains but couldn't figure out how their best friend could associate with someone whose status and background were completely different from theirs right under their noses.

“...That time at the bubble tea shop was indeed the first time I met him.” Xu Su hesitated for two seconds before choosing to be half-confessing to her two friends, “Back in my first year of high school, I was a day student, right? One time after evening self-study, my bicycle chain broke, and he happened to take me home, and that’s when he started to harass me.”

Looking back, Xu Su felt somewhat helpless, as Zhou Mochen had been relentlessly pursuing her for the past two years.

"So you broke up with Xi Shen and are now with this Zhou Mochen? He seems very fierce; he even dared to hit people at school. Did he beat you up when he took you away?" Huang Feng asked with concern. "Su Su, did you choose to be with him willingly?"

Given the circumstances that day, many people suspected that Xu Su was too beautiful and attracted the attention of a powerful young man who forced her to break up with Xi Zirong, and then physically assaulted Xi Zirong, sending her to the hospital.

As for Gu Yunjia, who witnessed the whole thing... after being called away for a talk by Teacher Wu, she refused to mention what happened that afternoon no matter who asked her.

Xu Su was unaware of what had happened at school. Hearing Huang Feng's words, she chuckled and said, "That day was an accident. Actually, he wasn't that fierce. I'll ask him to treat you to a meal when I have the chance, so you can get to know each other."

"He hit Xi Zirong because Gu Yunjia told him that I had been dating Xi Zirong for a year."

Seeing her two best friends looking at her like she was a scumbag, Xu Su immediately explained, "I didn't cheat on him. It's just that I was being pestered by Zhou Mochen before, and I didn't dare tell him that I was dating Xi Zirong... That's about it."

Qian Jia pursed her lips and bluntly stated, "In the end, the reason you broke up with Xi Shen is still this Zhou Mochen, isn't it?"

Xu Su was extremely embarrassed. It took courage to admit that she was a jerk. She lowered her head, took a sip of water, and chose not to speak.

"I can understand. My brother's boss is so handsome. If I had to choose, I'd choose him too!"

Huang Feng exclaimed with starry eyes, "You guys don't know, my brother's boss has only shown up at our school twice, and so many girls are head over heels for him. There are quite a few in our class alone. The way he pulled Su Su away in the cafeteria that day can only be described with one word..."

She paused, and waited until both of them looked over before softly saying, "Handsome and dashing."

"..." Xu Su was speechless, yet inexplicably understood.

Zhou Mochen's face, his image and temperament are indeed very attractive to young girls.

Perhaps it wasn't just the young girl... Thinking about what happened this morning, she felt a tightness in her chest.
