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

???

Xu Su was completely bewildered, staring at the chat history in the group chat, hardly believing her eyes.

Her photo actually appeared in the Qingxuan Sect's elite group, and they all found out she was a high school student from Chang City...

Changshi!

She remembered mentioning in the group chat that she was from Changshi.

Sure enough, just as Xu Su was thinking this, Xi Ka, a fellow high school student of the same age, reacted immediately and tagged her in the group chat: "[Su Su, I remember you're also from Changshi, and a high school student too. Come on, tell me, do you recognize this girl in the photo? Is she really that pretty in real life? Is this just a publicity stunt?]"

After being reminded by Xika, many group members who knew that Xu Su was a high school student in Changshi got excited and tagged her one after another.

The group members are all online game experts, and they are all quite young. They pay close attention to popular gossip online, and it's rare to find a friend in their group who might know a 'little internet celebrity,' so everyone wants to get the scoop.

Xu Su was tagged by more than a dozen people at the same time. She didn't have time to reply to any of them. She scrolled through the chat history to the top and followed the directions to the Haijiao Forum. She had been to this forum many times before. The campus section didn't have a lot of traffic, but this post about "the most beautiful high school student" had thousands of replies in less than a day and was already one of the top three hot posts on the forum.

As soon as Xu Su entered the forum, she saw a post featuring her own photo prominently displayed in the featured posts section on the homepage.

She clicked into the post and slowly scrolled through it, her expression constantly changing. Her deskmate and best friend, Qian Jia, noticed something was wrong and leaned over to look at her phone. She immediately saw a photo of Xu Su and Li Hao on the playground the day before yesterday and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"He even posted it online? What website is this?" Qian Jia asked, puzzled.

Xu Su said, "It's a forum, a pretty well-known forum."

As she spoke, she scrolled through the screen to read the comments from netizens.

Most people were amazed by the girl's beauty in the photo, while others questioned which entertainment company was planning to promote her as a newcomer, hoping to debut through hype and manipulation.

Other netizens were commenting on the photo, analyzing the relationship between the two people in it.

Xu Su looked at Qian Jia, on the verge of tears: "Jiajia, I'm in trouble."

"What's wrong?" Qian Jia asked, somewhat confused. "Your photo looks perfectly normal. You can just post it online, why are you acting like the sky is falling?"

"You don't understand the awkwardness of half-revealing your true identity, but that's not the most important thing... The important thing is that my future classmates may get to know me in advance."

So many people in the group were asking her if she recognized the person in the photo. Xu Su couldn't very well say she didn't. Once she entered university, she would have to meet the several B University alumni from Qingxuan Sect. If she lied, how would she explain it then?

Moreover, she was unaware of the impact her photos would have on her life after being circulated online for two days, and she disliked being the center of attention.

Besides, if Zhou Mochen finds out about this, who knows how angry he'll be...

Thinking of this, Xu Su quickly picked up her phone and carefully examined the photo. After looking at it intently for a long time, she handed it to Qian Jia with some uncertainty: "This photo isn't intimate, is it? Won't it cause misunderstandings?"

You could tell who the "others" were just by listening to her tone.

Qian Jia simply couldn't believe that her best friend had become a 'husband-controlled' woman. Just from a photo where they were only a hand's width apart, she was worried about her so much.

She glanced at him irritably: "Don't worry, even a blind person can see that you two are just ordinary classmates. Anyone with eyes won't misunderstand."

Xu Su breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to resolve this matter without Zhou Mochen's knowledge.

If you can keep it from Zhou Mochen, then of course you should. After all, having a photo of your girlfriend with a male classmate posted online and attracting so much attention and reposts from netizens is not something any boyfriend should be happy about, let alone Zhou Mochen, that jealous old man.

Xu Su glanced at the time; there were still twenty minutes before evening self-study began.

She walked outside the classroom with her phone in her hand, pulling out Shen Chen's number as she did so.

Of all the people she knows, besides Zhou Mochen, only Shen Chen has the power to block these reposts and posts.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Chen was naturally having dinner.

Young Master Shen's dinner parties are never short of events, and today is no exception. Wherever this group of young men goes, they are never short of beautiful girls to keep them entertained.

Inside the private room, the atmosphere was lively, with several young men surrounded by beautiful girls who poured them drinks and fed them, engaging in flirtatious and attentive banter.

The LCD screen was playing a currently popular idol drama. The actress playing the role of a rich and beautiful second female lead was dancing for the group of young men in the private room. Her graceful dance moves were charming and captivating, and her big eyes would occasionally glance in Shen Chen's direction.

It's a pity that I'm only giving you a flirtatious look...

Jiang Peng put his arm around the girl's slender waist, looked at his brother who was clearly uninterested, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? This is the school beauty of the Beijing Dance Academy. She was only a freshman and was already scouted into the industry to play the second female lead. She's not even married yet. She's pretty good-looking. I thought you might like her, so I didn't make a move on myself. I showed her to you first. You still don't like her?"

Shen Chen ignored him, took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and waved to the dancing starlet.

The other woman immediately understood, tiptoed over coquettishly, sat in the empty seat next to him, leaned her upper body against him, and sweetly called out, "Young Master Shen..."

Shen Chen lifted the young star's chin and casually asked, "From the dance academy?"

"You've been enrolled for a year, and you'll be a sophomore next year." Shen Chen's appearance was extremely outstanding even in the entertainment industry, and the young star blushed under his gaze. "How about I dance another song for you?"

Shen Chen looked down at her, his thumb stroking her delicate jawline. Just as he was about to speak, the phone on the table vibrated.

Jiang Peng leaned over to take a look: "It's your classmate Xu calling again. I was wondering which school she goes to, and when you're going to bring a few of us to meet her. We're all so curious. Is it because you've inherited the family business and stopped getting close to women, or have you settled down for this mysterious classmate Xu?"

Shen Chen paused, casually pushed away the minor celebrity who was sticking to him, picked up his phone and laughed: "Don't make wild guesses, this really isn't mine."

Everyone burst into laughter, no one believing that there was a woman that Young Master Shen couldn't handle; perhaps she was just putting on airs.

Shen Chen glanced at them and said, "Alright, quiet down, I need to take this call."

After saying that, he got up, walked to the sofa in the private room, sat down, and pressed the call button.

Xu Su stood in the corridor, with students passing by from time to time. After the call connected, she lowered her voice and said "hello".
