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

Over the course of several months, Xi Zirong stopped trying to talk to her alone. Just as she had promised that day, she stopped bothering her and kept her distance from Xu Su.

Zhou Mochen knew everything that was happening at school. Since Xu Su and Xi Zirong hadn't been in contact, his tense and guarded heart gradually relaxed.

As a result, Zhou Mochen's emotions became more stable day by day, and he no longer acted erratically from time to time like he did at the beginning.

Often, Xu Su would find herself lost in thought, gazing at the man beside her who showered her with doting affection and almost always obeyed her every whim...

It seems that the obsessive and gloomy Zhou Mochen was truly just a dream...

Time flies, and it's already the end of December. The semester will soon be over.

As a key municipal school, the importance that school leaders and teachers of all grades place on academic performance is self-evident. Students are all burying themselves in their studies and few can still recall the incident on the playground a few months ago.

As for Zhou Mochen coming to the school to pick up Xu Su?

This might be novel for a day or two, but after a while, the students got used to it.

Especially in the senior year of high school, with graduation approaching, both classmates and teachers are focused on preparing for next year's college entrance examination. Xu Su had already noticed that her classmates were paying less and less attention to her.

Although she was somewhat used to those subtle glances, she was certainly more relaxed as long as she wasn't the center of attention among her classmates.

On a weekend evening, Xu Su finally leveled up his account on the Xianxia Continent to the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming a sword cultivator capable of flying on a sword.

Seeing that his only disciple had finally broken through to the next realm, Nanyang was in a good mood. He generously gifted her a set of high-grade immortal robes. He was the only person besides Xu Su who cared about her cultivation level.

After all, as a Nascent Soul stage expert, it would be a bit embarrassing to have a disciple who is just a Qi Refining stage newbie. So whenever Xu Su logs on, even if he doesn't have time himself, he always asks his other big friends from the Qingxuan Sect to help him give his little disciple some pointers and help him level up.

In the words of her master, Master Nanyang, if she hadn't been online for so little each week, she would have already reached the Golden Core stage.

Although his Foundation Establishment realm had only upgraded from a newbie to a newbie, it didn't diminish Xu Suzhi's pride at all. After changing into the high-grade immortal robe given to him by True Person Nanyang, the snow-white gauze robe, with its cinched waist and wide sleeves, exuded an ethereal aura, and he thoroughly enjoyed the joy of flying and escaping.

The artists of the Xianxia Continent have depicted every frame with extreme realism, and the experts in the elite group are also warm and friendly. Xu Su is becoming more and more addicted to this game.

Her good mood, which had lasted all night, vanished when she entered the school and greeted a familiar female classmate, whose previously shrewish attitude disappeared.

Xu Su frowned, wondering what was wrong this time. She thought of a few months ago...

After the farcical wedding in Kang County, those who had offended Xu Su all suffered terrible misfortune. Kang County is a small place; if you take a stroll through the streets and alleys, you're bound to run into a few acquaintances. So, this incident was almost common knowledge in the small county.

No one would believe it was a coincidence.

Therefore, Shen Chen, who assaulted someone at the wedding banquet that day and drove an expensive sports car, became the subject of much speculation in Kang County regarding his background. Most of the students from Kang County attending the city's No. 1 High School had been warned by their parents not to mess with Xu Su at school.

The news spread throughout the school, and for a long time, students from both their own class and other classes were terrified of Xu Su.

Huang Feng and Qian Jia had been curiously asking Xu Su for a long time whether Shen Chen had taught those rude hooligans at the wedding banquet a lesson.

After Xu Su tacitly agreed, their expressions were extremely complicated. They never imagined that their best friend, with whom they spent every day, knew someone with such an extraordinary background...

They had all witnessed the entire process of how they met Zhou Mochen, but where did Shen Chen come from...?

She was curious about Shen Chen's background and also whether Xu Su's current boyfriend, Zhou Mochen, knew about Shen Chen's existence.

After Xu Su said that Shen Chen and Zhou Mochen were brothers who had known each other since childhood, their expressions became even more complicated.

I witnessed firsthand Shen Chen's anxious reaction to Xu Su's injury.

They weren't children anymore, and suddenly they realized just how incredibly alluring and cunning their best friend truly was...

Xu Su had solemnly explained to them that Shen Chen was such a womanizing playboy that he could never be interested in her.

But in reality, even she herself wasn't entirely confident...

Regardless of what happened back then, several months have passed, and the storm had long since died down... so why has it resurfaced?

Xu Su pulled her scarf tighter and strode into the classroom, instantly silencing the previously noisy class.

Xu Su pursed her lips and sat down without stopping. She took off her gloves and was about to study when Qian Jia handed her a water cup, saying, "I've filled it with hot water for you."

"Oh, our Jiajia is so kind." Xu Su smiled as she accepted the cup. She was most afraid of the cold, and as the weather turned cooler, the hot water in her cup could not be emptied.

Qian Jia leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Do you know what happened? Something happened to Gu Yunjia's family. I was wondering why she seemed like a different person recently. She stopped chasing after Xi Shen and stopped dressing up. It turns out there was such a big change in her family. She kept it a secret so well. If her cousin, who is in her first year of high school, hadn't told me, who would have guessed?"

Apart from raising the national flag on Mondays, No. 1 Middle School does not require students to wear school uniforms every day.

Adolescence is the age when girls love to dress up, and few girls don't want to look pretty. Gu Yunjia's family must be well-off, as she usually dresses very stylishly and attractively, and occasionally she will wear light makeup to school.

Combined with her already good looks, she stood out as a striking beauty among the drab students.

This unique beauty was secretly described by many as "ghostly and eccentric".

Qian Jia's words startled Xu Su.

She put down the water glass she was about to open and quietly asked, "What happened to their family?"

At the same time, some understood why their classmates were avoiding them like the plague.

They believe that Gu Yunjia offended them and was being retaliated against.

Just as Qian Jia was about to speak, the class bell rang, and the classroom instantly fell silent. She quickly stopped herself, saying, "We'll talk about it when we get to the cafeteria later."

Xu Su nodded, "Okay."

For the past few months, Xu Su has been eating breakfast at home. While everyone else is eating breakfast in the cafeteria, she's in the classroom, scrolling through her phone and chatting in group chats...

Feeling somewhat unsettled after finishing morning self-study, Xu Su was pulled up by Qian Jia as soon as the bell rang. "Let's go!"

As soon as the two stepped out of the classroom, they met Huang Feng in the hallway. Seeing that Xu Su was also there and wanted to have breakfast together, she smiled and took his arm, and the three of them headed towards the cafeteria.

Having not eaten breakfast in the cafeteria for a long time, Xu Su missed the school's egg pancakes, so she bought a cup of hot soy milk to eat with the egg pancakes.

After taking a sip of soy milk to warm her stomach, Xu Su couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Gu Yunjia's family? I just checked her seat, and she didn't come to school today."
