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

On the third day after returning to her maternal grandmother's house, Li Tingting, who had heard that Xu Su had brought her boyfriend back to the village, also came with her husband and children. Perhaps in order to get closer to Xu Su, Li Tingting even brought her own mother.

My aunt, Chen Shumei, came along too.

They arrived by car. When they got out, Luo Shaofeng and Chen Shumei were carrying loads of gifts, while Li Tingting was holding her several-month-old baby.

As soon as she got off the bus, Li Tingting saw Xu Su in the crowd and walked over with a big smile, greeting him warmly.

Xu Su responded somewhat awkwardly until her aunt Chen Shumei came to her rescue, at which point Li Tingting stopped the awkward conversation.

Xu Su and her aunt Chen Shumei were very close, but she was not an emotional person and rarely did things like hugging her relatives and crying.

It was rare for the farmhouse courtyard to be so lively. Grandma Xu and her two aunts kept bringing out stools from the main room so that the guests would have a place to sit. They were very hospitable, cutting watermelons and setting out fruit platters.

Zhou Mochen was making a phone call in the corner when Luo Shaofeng entered the yard and saw the modified black SUV parked inside. His eyes lit up immediately. He was somewhat knowledgeable; this model would cost two or three million yuan to get on the road, and the one in front of him looked a little different.

Thinking that rich people drive modified cars, he quickly scanned the area, locked onto Zhou Mochen in the corner, and after realizing it wasn't the same person from last year, he hesitated for only two seconds before walking over there.

He wondered if there was something important about that woman from last year. A beauty of his sister-in-law's caliber wouldn't date a poor guy.

Besides, a man who can afford to drive a car like that can't be poor.

When Zhou Mochen saw him coming over, he glanced down at him, said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

Xu Su brought out two long benches, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Zhou Mochen and Luo Shaofeng chatting away. She raised an eyebrow but ignored them, figuring Zhou Mochen wouldn't lose out anyway.

Li Tingting, on the other hand, was extremely puzzled. The child in her arms had already been taken to be held and comforted by the elders. Feeling relaxed, she leaned over and whispered, "Susu, is that your boyfriend?"

When she heard that her cousin had brought her boyfriend home, she naturally assumed that he was the one who had caused a scene at her wedding last year. Thinking about his unfathomable background, she rushed back to her maternal grandmother's house with her husband and children as soon as she heard the news, hoping to make some connections.

Even a little bit of money slipping through their fingers is enough for these kinds of people to make a fortune.

Xu Su could vaguely guess what she was thinking. Out of respect for her aunt, she couldn't keep a straight face, so she just smiled, nodded, and went about her business.

Li Tingting was speechless and secretly admired her. Her cousin was not very old, but she had quite a rich romantic history. She was surrounded by top-quality men. The one last year was already very outstanding, and the one now was even more unlike an ordinary person.

Well, the man in the corner was completely out of place in this farmhouse courtyard. Just standing there, he exuded an air of wealth and nobility, making him look unapproachable and intimidating.

Li Tingting wondered how her cousin managed to keep her in check. She turned her head to look at Xu Su, who was busy making tea for everyone.

...She paused for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses and was no longer surprised.

I didn't notice it at first glance, but her cousin had already grown so much last year that people couldn't even look at her directly. In just one year, she has completely transformed.

A nineteen-year-old girl is at the age of blossoming from a budding flower.

One can vaguely see the first hint of true beauty in her budding youth, a truly breathtaking sight.

Faced with such ethereal beauty, even as a woman, it's hard to feel envy, let alone jealousy.

Just thinking about how this was her own younger sister made Li Tingting feel a sense of unreality. Was she dreaming? Such a heavenly person was born in the countryside and was her cousin!

Li Tingting's thoughts were in turmoil. She stared blankly at Xu Su for a long time, then suddenly remembered something. She quickly took her several-month-old daughter from her mother's arms and put her in front of Xu Su, coaxing her daughter: "Baby, be good. Look at your aunt. We'll grow up to look like your aunt. Just a tenth of her is fine."

Li Tingting thought that one-tenth was enough; any more, she didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse.

"..." Xu Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Several elders nearby clapped and laughed, thinking Li Tingting's method was good.

Even Grandma Xu smiled and said that there is such a saying that if babies see more beautiful things during infancy, they will grow up to be better.

The adults were chatting animatedly, and the little one in Li Tingting's arms looked at Xu Su and opened her arms, wanting her to hold her.

Li Tingting said with a smile, "Give her a hug. The child likes you. As her aunt, you should comfort her too."

"..." Xu Su took the child with some difficulty. She had lived two lives and had never held such a small baby before.

She held the baby for a few minutes, feeling that the baby was such a soft creature that she was afraid of hurting her if she used even a little force. Xu Su was stiff and didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

It was Chen Shumei who noticed that Xu Su really couldn't hold the baby properly, so she took the child from her. She gave her daughter a disapproving look before saying to Xu Su, "Our Su Su is still a child herself, how could she hold a baby? Go sit over there and play."

Zhou Mochen appeared to be chatting casually with Luo Shaofeng in the corner, but his mind was actually on Luo Shaofeng. When he saw Xu Su holding the child stiffly, he couldn't help but chuckle. The doting tone in his laughter was enough to melt anyone's bones.

Luo Shaofeng, who was having a long conversation, was taken aback and looked in the direction he was looking.

"..." He felt like he'd been unintentionally shown up in a compromising situation...

This time, Luo Shaofeng was much more polite than at the wedding. He was very warm to Xu Su and the Chen family, and he was almost obsequious to Zhou Mochen.

In Xu Su's opinion, they were no less impressive than Xu Weiping and Chen Shulan from her previous life.

Zhou Mochen knew everything that happened at last year's wedding banquet, so how could he possibly give Luo Shaofeng a friendly look? He didn't need to express any negative emotions; his indifferent attitude and lack of expression were enough to make people want to stay away.

Luo Shaofeng had come all this way, so he wasn't going to give up so easily. During dinner, he frequently toasted everyone, first to his two uncles, and then to Zhou Mochen alone, saying some very polite words. He also formally apologized for hurting his sister-in-law Xu Su at last year's wedding.

The dinner table was full of relatives, and one shouldn't refuse a smiling face. If Zhou Mochen wanted to leave a good impression on the Chen family, he really couldn't refuse Luo Shaofeng's face, so he reluctantly drank a glass with him.

After downing a glass of wine, Zhou Mochen's expression visibly turned indifferent, making him look rather unappealing.
