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

With the fast-paced teaching style of the advanced class, the textbooks for the first semester of the first year of high school have basically been covered. According to the teachers' plan, after reviewing and consolidating the material, they will start teaching next year's content.

Halfway through the lecture, a few coughs broke out in the class. Teacher Wu took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Recently, many students in the class have caught the flu. Everyone should pay attention. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I see some people still wearing very thin clothes."

"Don't sacrifice warmth for style. When you're studying, just focus on your studies. Once you get into your dream university, you'll have plenty of time to be stylish."

The students in the class smiled politely.

Ms. Wu seemed to be in a good mood today. After letting the students laugh for a while, she said, "By the way, if you really get sick, you can go directly to the school clinic to get cold medicine. Our school clinic has most of the common flu medicines, and they're free."

Many students, like Xu Su, were unaware of this matter, and upon hearing about this good news, they began to make a fuss.

Zhou Dongdong, always bold, shouted, "The school is so humane! I'll go back and spread the word so we can recruit another batch of outstanding freshmen to teach next year!"

"Don't even think about taking advantage of the school." Teacher Wu tapped the lectern with the blackboard eraser and said with a smile, "If you're really sick, then bring your student ID to the infirmary and let the school doctor treat you."

"By the way, if you're sick, don't force yourself to come to class. There was a student in Class 12 with a high fever who came to class and almost fainted in the classroom. Studying is important, but you must remember that health is the foundation of everything."

These words are touching. Many students know that during their three years of high school, perhaps only their parents and teachers hope that they will achieve academic success and stay healthy.

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere between teachers and students, Huang Feng suddenly stood up and asked, "Teacher Wu, do we female students have to ask the vice class monitor for leave instead of the class monitor?"

The relaxed atmosphere in the classroom instantly turned deathly silent.

Almost everyone in the class knew about what happened during the break, including Huang Feng. After the seating arrangement was changed, she and Xu Su were far apart, and she was about to confront them when the bell rang.

She had intended to hold back until after class to settle the score, but since Teacher Wu brought it up, she couldn't resist asking directly.

Fu Zichen also stood up instantly as if on cue: "Teacher, some students don't like it, and I don't want to be the vice class monitor anymore."

Ms. Wu's smiling face instantly turned serious: "Sit down, everyone. Let's start class. Come to my office after class."

After this interlude, the classroom atmosphere became gloomy.

Xu Su, one of the parties involved, frowned, somewhat worried about Huang Feng.

Fu Zichen is second in the entire grade. She is another star student in the top class besides Xi Zirong, and is the second favorite of all the teachers.

Will Huang Feng's direct and open questioning of the vice class monitor leave a bad impression on Teacher Wu?

If Huang Feng were to leave the Rocket Class because of his own reasons, Xu Su would not be able to turn a blind eye.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Huang Feng and Fu Zichen were called away, followed by Xu Su.

Ms. Wu's private office was on the third floor. As Xu Su went upstairs, she noticed the person following her. "What are you doing here?"

"I'll go and explain the whole story to Lao Wu." Xi Zirong pursed her lips: "This matter started because of me, it has nothing to do with you."

Xu Su instantly understood his meaning, and suddenly realized, "Fu Zichen...and you?"

"It's alright." Xi Zirong looked up at her. "It has nothing to do with me."

"..."

There's no need to explain it so seriously.

Xu Su roughly understood that she had suffered an undeserved misfortune, at least from her perspective.

Perhaps Fu Zichen misunderstood that she deliberately approached her class monitor?

The office door wasn't closed tightly, and Fu Zichen's sobs could be heard through the crack. Xu Su's expression was a little tense.

Regardless, the one crying now is Fu Zichen. At this age, it seems like whoever cries is right.

She wondered if she should also pretend to cry.

After holding back for a long time, unable to produce any tears, Xi Zirong simply pushed open the door and went inside.

As expected of a top student, her efficiency is truly remarkable. Before Xu Su could even organize her thoughts, Xi Zirong had already summarized the ins and outs of the morning in just a few words.

Ms. Wu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly looked up and glanced at Xu Su and Xi Zirong, saying, "You two went to the school clinic together, and then to the cafeteria?"

Xu Su finally managed to interject, explaining, "I didn't know how to get to the medical office, but my class monitor was helpful and took me there. As for the cafeteria... we all have to eat breakfast."

Teacher Wu nodded and chuckled, "Yes... I know everything."

He looked at Fu Zichen, whose eyes were red from crying: "When classmates ask for leave, they can ask for leave with either you or Xi Zirong. There's no dividing line between male and female classmates, it's not that rigid."

Fu Zichen felt a little wronged: "But the female classmates in the class all ask me for leave, so it's already a tacit agreement."

"Alright, their seats are close together, so asking for leave is just a matter of course." Teacher Wu reassured them, saying, "As the vice class monitor, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let things happen naturally. If someone asks for leave, just approve it. If they don't ask you, don't get angry. As long as they've asked for leave, that's fine."

He then looked at Huang Feng, who had a look of amusement on her face, and after giving her a few words of advice for disrupting class discipline, he waved his hand and said, "You can all leave now. Let's consider today's matter over. Don't bring it up again in the future, as it will affect the relationship between classmates."

Xu Su breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she heard Teacher Wu say, "Xi Zirong, you and Xu Su stay behind for a moment."

Huang Feng felt extremely smug, thinking she had won against Fu Zichen head-on. She gave Xu Su a smug look and left like a victorious general.

Xu Su felt like crying but had no tears left. This silly girl still didn't understand what was going on.

There was only one chair opposite the desk. Neither Xi Zirong nor Xu Su sat down. The two stood side by side with their heads down, looking like they were being reprimanded.

Teacher Wu poured herself a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and looked at the two students: "Tell me, is this puppy love?"

Xu Su suddenly raised her head and shook it like a rattle drum, "No, I don't have a teacher who's in a relationship early."

Fearing that the teacher would suspect her and call her parents, Xu Su emphasized again: "I really didn't have a puppy love relationship."

His earnest explanation drew a sidelong glance from Xi Zirong, who was standing nearby.

Teacher Wu was amused and looked at Xi Zirong: "That girl certainly doesn't seem to be in a relationship yet, what about you?"

Xi Zirong remained silent for a while, but her ears slowly turned red.
