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

Since the two lived together, given Zhou Mochen's level of attention to Xu Su, he could easily figure out whether she had her period before.

He hadn't thought of those things before, but now that Xu Su was menstruating, he immediately realized that it was definitely not normal for her to have her period only once every five months.

"...I don't want to go to the hospital, and I don't want to take medicine." Having been cornered, Xu Su didn't bother to hide anything anymore. She said matter-of-factly, "Besides, it's so much better to have my period only once every five months. You have no idea how painful it is. I wish I never had to come!"

“No, if you’re not feeling well, you need to get checked out.” Zhou Mochen looked down at her, his voice gentle but firm: “Pain is also an illness. It will stop hurting once you’re better. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, I’ll have a doctor come to our house to take a look at you.”

Since it concerned Xu Su's health, she had no choice but to agree, and Zhou Mochen's attitude was so firm that even his honey trap was useless.

Of course, Xu Su didn't have the strength to use her beauty to her advantage. In the end, she helplessly pushed him, "Go ahead and call the doctor if you want, but take me to school now!"

Zhou Mochen hesitated: "You're in so much pain, why don't you rest at home for the afternoon?"

"No way! You want me to do whatever you say again?" Xu Su glared at him angrily. "Zhou Mochen, has your authoritarian habit relapsed?"

"I could go to school before, why can't I go now? Zhou Mochen, don't go too far!"

She looked like she was about to bring up old grievances, which made Zhou Mochen instantly give in. "Fine, fine, I'll take you to school."

Xu Su arrived at school as she wished. While she was in so much pain that she couldn't finish a single test paper all afternoon, she suddenly thought that it would be pretty good to be able to cure her menstrual cramps.

It's okay if the medicine tastes bitter...

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

During recess, classmates passing by would feel a jolt when they saw the girl slumped over her desk.

Xu Su's face was pale and weak, even her lips had lost their color. She looked sickly and frail, yet she possessed an undeniable delicate beauty that was breathtaking.

When Qian Jia returned with the hot water, she was also stunned. She stared blankly for two seconds, then suddenly sighed, "If you were in ancient times, you would be a real femme fatale, a wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country."

Xu Su remained lying still, glancing up at her. "I won't be a concubine; I'll be an empress."

"Okay, okay, stop looking at me." Qian Jia hurriedly looked away. "If you keep looking at me like this, everyone will look like a cabbage to me. I'll never find a boyfriend."

"..." Xu Su was speechless for a moment, then took the water glass. "You and Xu Ran broke up?"

"We broke up. Our relationship was just like playing house anyway, not as genuine as yours with Xi Shen."

Xu Su paused, looked at Qian Jia seriously, and saw that she didn't care at all. She felt relieved, took a sip of hot water, and coaxed, "If you've broken up, then you've broken up. Let's go to university and find someone better."

“Those who are better don’t even want me. They all want someone better, like you.” Qian Jia was dejected for less than two seconds before excitedly leaning over: “Su Su, go be a big star, and I’ll be your assistant.”

Xu Su was speechless: "Why do you always do things your own way?"

"Seriously, didn't you say you didn't know what major to apply for? Just go for the art exam! With your face, you can pass all the way through, believe it or not?"

Qian Jia became more and more excited as she spoke: "If you become a big star, I'll also benefit from it, and it will be more convenient for me to see my favorite idols."

"Who is your idol?" Xu Su asked curiously. She had known her for so long but had never seen her idolize anyone.

"Zhao Yuanxi! You mean that really handsome Zhao Yuanxi, the one who sang 'Sunny Day Rain,' and he even directed a movie himself. He's very talented!"

"He is quite handsome." Xu Su doesn't follow the entertainment industry much, but she is familiar with this name.

Qian Jia was in high spirits and urged her, "Go, go!"

It's like she's a big star just because Xu Su nods in agreement...

"...You can't take the art exam. My choice is Peking University." Xu Su looked annoyed, pushed away the face that was leaning in, and promised, "If there's a chance, I'll help you chase your idol."

Who says you have to become a celebrity to meet someone? Xu Su remembered that Shen Chen owned an entertainment company in her previous life. Any company that he mentioned must be something big.

Qian Jia trusted Xu Su's casual remark completely, her eyes shining: "Su Su! My dear Su Su! My chance to get close to Zhao Yuanxi in this lifetime depends on you!"

"..." After the girl's antics, Xu Su felt that her stomach pain had lessened.

There's only an hour and a half between afternoon school and evening self-study, which is too rushed, so Xu Su usually eats with Huang Feng and Qian Jia in the cafeteria.

Xu Su ate very little for lunch, but enjoyed her dinner very much.

Zhou Mochen called midway through the call, but it was just because he was on his period. He seemed very anxious, which made Xu Su feel a little helpless. She gave him a few perfunctory words and hung up.

Huang Feng and Qian Jia were already used to the way Zhou Mochen and Xu Su interacted.

The three chatted and ate when Huang Feng suddenly leaned over in a low voice and said mysteriously, "Gu Yunjia came to school this afternoon."

Qian Jia was greatly disappointed: "Looking at you like this, I thought there was some big news. Our whole class already knows about this!"

"Do you know how she got here?" Huang Feng asked with a look that said, "You don't know, do you?" Her voice was even lower. "I heard that she was taken to the opposite side of our school by a car, some distance from No. 2 Middle School. It was like she was hiding from people. Some of our students saw her get out of the car."

Across from the No. 1 Middle School is the No. 2 Middle School...

Xu Su asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with this? Didn't they say her younger sister goes to No. 2 Middle School?"

“That’s the problem. Her sister wasn’t in the car. She came straight to the school after getting off the car and didn’t go to look for her sister.” Huang Feng finished speaking, then her expression suddenly became complicated. “Also, it was an Audi, which costs about 600,000 yuan.”

...so?

Seeing Huang Feng and Qian Jia's expressions, Xu Su's brow twitched, and she suddenly realized, "You're overthinking it. Don't make such wild guesses about your classmate."

“Exactly, exactly. Gu Yunjia is such a proud person, it’s impossible.” Qian Jia quickly sat up straight and repeated, “It’s impossible.”

The tone was as if he were comforting himself.

Huang Feng sighed: "I also hope it's impossible, but those people are talking in great detail, and they even said there was a middle-aged man in the car."

"Stop talking. No matter what others say, let's not spread this." Qian Jia looked around. "Rumors can drive people to their deaths."

"I only told this to our own people, how could I tell everyone else?" They had a good relationship with Gu Yunjia before, and their first reaction upon hearing the news was anger. Huang Feng was even more skeptical and only gave up after asking for many details.

Xu Su felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

A middle-aged man, driving an Audi, deliberately parked quite a distance from the school to avoid people...
