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

He had considered the worst-case scenario, and even when the file was placed in front of Zhou Mochen, he was afraid to open it.

Who is Zhou Mochen? A determined and outstanding young man who has never had the chance to experience fear since he can remember.

It wasn't until he met Xu Su and her various behaviors that Zhou Mochen himself was surprised. It was at this moment that he finally understood what was wrong with him.

"I don't like you." Xu Su said directly, as if afraid that she hadn't rejected him thoroughly enough. She said, "I'm really afraid of men. Right now, I just want to focus on my studies. Even if I like someone in the future, I won't like a boy."

Zhou Mochen's face darkened slightly. "You don't like boys?"

Thinking of Huang Chao, the girl she was very close to, her eyes became somewhat dark and unreadable.

Xu Su had seen this person go crazy many times before, so she wasn't afraid of this change of expression at all. She nodded firmly and said, "That's right. For now, I just want to focus on my studies. Anyway, I'm not considering finding a boyfriend."

Xu Su was secretly pleased with her quick thinking. "I don't even like boys anymore, what else can you do?"

Zhou Mochen really didn't have any plans right now. He was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you want in return for getting in the car? It's raining so hard, do you really want to get sick?"

Having a ride with someone else would certainly be more comfortable than her having to transfer in the pouring rain, but... this is Zhou Mochen's car.

"I'll get on the bus, but you have to promise me one thing."

Zhou Mochen glanced at her and said, "Go ahead."

"From now on, don't appear in front of me. Even if we happen to meet like today, don't stop to say hello. Just pretend you didn't see me."

"No." Zhou Mochen refused decisively.

Xu Su wasn't angry when she was rejected. She reached out to take her vegetables back, but Zhou Mochen dodged her.

"Young Master Zhou, are you even going to steal the vegetables that I, a poor student, brought back from the countryside?"

"I can promise you that I won't disturb your studies before your college entrance exam." Zhou Mochen's face darkened, and he said patiently, "As for the rest, you're still young now. You'll change your mind when you grow up."

As I said before, Xu Su had seen every expression on this man's face. If Zhou Mochen were to go mad ten years from now, she might be a little scared, but now...

"I'll sit in the back, you sit in the front." After saying this, Xu Su opened the back door, held up her umbrella, and got into the car.

It's good that he agreed not to bother her before the college entrance exam. She can fill in her college application far away from Beijing, and I don't believe she can't get rid of him in this lifetime!

Xu Su suddenly got into the car with an umbrella, leaving Zhou Mochen alone standing at the entrance of the grocery store with a large bag of vegetables.

Huang Chao, in the driver's seat, glanced back at Xu Su with some disapproval, said nothing, opened an umbrella, and got out of the car to pick up his boss.

Xu Su was speechless at that look. There was a general store right behind her; how could she not have an umbrella? It was as if she had bullied Zhou Mochen.

As his loyal subordinate held an umbrella for him and helped him into the passenger seat, Zhou Mochen found a clean towel somewhere and handed it to him, saying, "Dry yourself off, you're wet from the rain."

He also took a towel and dried his hair.

Xu Su did not refuse, after all, she really didn't want to catch a cold.

Being sick is expensive and a waste of time, and she can't let her hard-earned grades go back.

After putting the bag of vegetables in the trunk, Huang Chao got into the car. He got half of his body wet while holding an umbrella for Zhou Mochen.

The car started and quickly got on the highway. Zhou Mochen reminded him to drive slowly in the rain and then didn't say anything more.

The journey from Kang County to Changshi takes no more than three hours via the expressway. Xu Su kept staring at the rainy scenery outside the car window and fell asleep while watching. When she woke up, she had already exited the expressway and was still covered with a thin coat.

Zhou Mochen's.

While he was asleep, he covered himself with his clothes.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Xu Su quickly tossed her coat to the other end of her seat. No wonder a familiar scent always seemed to follow her in her dreams.

The way he threw the coat away without hesitation revealed his disdain, which made Huang Chao secretly click his tongue in amazement. He secretly glanced at the owner of the coat out of the corner of his eye.

Zhou Mochen seemed not to see her, his expression unreadable. He looked out the window where the rain had lessened, "Take her home first."

The sky was overcast and gloomy due to the rain. Xu Su asked the person ahead, "What time is it?"

Zhou Mochen raised his left hand and glanced at it: "5:40, I'll get you home before 6:00."

This cold attitude... does it mean he's really angry?

That would be perfect.

When the car stopped, the torrential rain that had been pouring down for hours finally stopped.

This time, Zhou Mochen didn't get out of the car. Huang Chao took the vegetable bag out of the trunk, handed it to Xu Su, and said, "Take care."

Xu Su nodded politely and replied with a heartfelt thank you.

~~~~~~~~

After the rain during the National Day holiday, the temperature in Changshi officially turned cool.

The school quickly distributed the autumn school uniforms, and the first monthly exam for the entire grade after the start of the semester also arrived as scheduled.

Everyone in the class made ample preparations for this exam.

Xu Su, Huang Feng, and the others even highlighted key points. They were all top students who had broken through the competition to get in, and each of them had their own expertise in exams. Although their learning methods were different, they could grasp the general idea of ​​the possible exam points.

They have a basic understanding of which question types are guaranteed to appear on the exam and which are most likely to cause problems.

The students shared the key points they had highlighted, noting anything the teacher had emphasized.

Xu Su even tried to recall her past life's exam papers, but unfortunately, it was too long ago. She could only vaguely remember the major questions on the college entrance exam, and she really had no recollection of a mere monthly exam in her first year of high school.

As it turned out, all these preparations were useful, and Xu Su's monthly exam results were decent.

She got full marks in physics and English, and ranked fourth in the class in math, politics, and chemistry. She didn't do well in Chinese this time, losing a lot of points on the essay, which dragged down her overall score. However, she made some progress in the other subjects.

Her total score ranked twelfth in the whole grade and ninth in the top class. Compared to her eleventh place in the last mock exam, she moved up two places and barely maintained her position in the top ten of the class.

Meanwhile, other classes in the first year of high school have also emerged as dark horses, challenging the status of the top classes. Many students who did not work hard in junior high school suddenly had a breakthrough in high school.

The top ten students in the grade, who were all from the elite classes when they entered school, have now been squeezed out by three students from other classes, and Xu Su is one of them.

For example, the third-ranked student in the entire grade was not from the top class, but a girl from Class 16. In addition, Class 22 and Class 3 each had a student who ranked sixth or seventh in the grade.

Besides Xi Zirong firmly holding the top spot in the grade, the vice class monitor Fu Zichen improved from fourth place in the entire grade upon entering school to second place.
