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

Rao Lu paid ten yuan for the activity fee yesterday. As the art and literature committee member, she was very concerned about the first class party in high school.

Seeing that Xu Su had come specifically to ask, Rao Lu looked delighted and asked for the paper that Xi Zirong had written on. After glancing at it, she directly added a few necessary items at the bottom.

"That's all." She added, still a little worried, "How about I go with you this weekend? Otherwise, I'm worried that the colors of the ribbons you chose won't be nice."

The little girl seemed to be taking this very seriously.

Xu Su readily agreed, "Sure, let's go together this weekend, and I'll have the class monitor call a few male classmates to carry our things."

After speaking with Rao Lu, Xu Su returned to her seat and handed the completed shopping list to Xi Zirong. "Keep the list. Rao Lu will come shopping with us this weekend."

"Hmm." Something he said must have pleased him, because Xi Zirong took the order with a bright smile: "Okay."

Xu Su was speechless; she really didn't understand...

Time flew by and it was the weekend. All the students in the class had paid their money, including Xi Zirong, who also gave them a ten-yuan bill.

After the last class of the morning, Xu Su, with a huge sum of 680 yuan in his pocket, went to the cafeteria with Rao Lu, Xi Zirong, Wan Youping, and Fu Jun.

Huang Feng had a day off in the afternoon and needed to rush home for lunch, while the five of them were going to the wholesale market to shop. So, they decided to have dinner at the canteen before going.

Xu Su ordered a plate of fried noodles. In the past few months, Xu Su had been able to try all the dishes at the No. 1 High School in the city, but this fried noodle dish was still her favorite.

The portion is generous, it only costs one dollar and fifty cents, and there's even homemade chili sauce from the cafeteria lady that you can add. It tastes absolutely amazing when eaten with fried noodles.

On weekends, only students from grades 11 and 12 are in the cafeteria. With one grade less students, there are many empty seats to choose from.

After Xu Su sat down with her tray, Xi Zirong sat down opposite her not long after.

He ordered rice, which came with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and two fried chicken legs were prominently displayed on his plate.

Xu Su instantly recalled the bizarre things Xi Zirong had done these past few days, and the instant Xi Zirong picked up a chicken leg, he quickly raised his hand to cover his plate.

She glared at him fiercely.

"Pfft..." A suppressed laugh came from the side. Rao Lu, Wan Youping, and Fu Jun were standing not far away with their trays, and it was unclear how much they had seen.

Seeing the two looking over, Rao Lu couldn't help but laugh so hard she bent over. She said without any restraint, "Hahahaha, Xi Zirong, you've finally met your match."

The tone was very familiar. Xu Su remembered that she had heard that Rao Lu had also attended Experimental Middle School, and was probably a classmate that Xi Zirong had known since junior high school.

Feeling inexplicably embarrassed by the laughter, Xu Su wondered if she was just being presumptuous. It wasn't necessarily true that they wanted to give her the chicken leg. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed and annoyed she became. After glaring at Xi Zirong again, she buried her head in her noodles and ignored them.

Looking at the girl eating with her head down, Xi Zirong touched his nose helplessly, turned to look at the culprit, and after being stared at for two seconds, Rao Lu, under his intimidating gaze, finally stopped laughing and chose a seat far away to start eating obediently.

After finishing their meal, the group went to the bus stop. They had already planned to go to the nearest wholesale market to buy the items they needed, a journey that would take about an hour.

Taking the bus costs one yuan per person, which is deducted from the activity fund and paid by the 'treasurer' Xu Su.

After boarding the bus, Xu Su paid the fare, found a window seat, took out a small notebook and pen from her pocket, and began to record the expenses: bus fare - 5 yuan.

Someone sat down in the empty seat next to her, and Xu Su turned her head to look.

amount……

It's Xi Zirong again, who's been haunting us these past few days.

Xu Su was speechless, but the bus wasn't hers to kick someone out of bed, so she could only helplessly turn to look at the scenery outside the window.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Changshi was in a period of rapid development. High-rise buildings began to be built, and the appearance of urbanization gradually emerged. Although it was not as prosperous as it would be a decade or so later, it had already begun to show its charm.

As she watched, Xu Su, a high school student who was severely sleep-deprived due to working from dawn till dusk, fell asleep again.

When Xu Su woke up, she found herself leaning on Xi Zirong's shoulder. The boy was sitting upright, seemingly afraid of waking her, stiffly maintaining the same posture. When he saw that she was awake and looked over, he even smiled at her.

Xu Su was taken aback, quickly sat up straight, and glanced around. Only after finding that no classmates had noticed what was happening on their side did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Xi Zirong, she whispered, "Aren't you going to wake me up? Are you just going to let me lean on your shoulder?"

Xi Zirong leaned closer, looking somewhat innocent: "I think you seem to be very sleep-deprived, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

"..." Xu Su felt a surge of anger and could no longer hold back. She spoke bluntly: "Xi Zirong, I've said I won't date early."

Xi Zirong was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I didn't ask you to have a relationship with me in your early years."

It was like punching cotton; Xu Su was completely speechless.

At this moment, we finally arrived at the Xiangshanqiao Wholesale Market.

This is an old wholesale market. The long street stretches as far as the eye can see, lined with wholesale shops. Many small and large vendors drive all kinds of vehicles here to purchase goods.

Fortunately, it's the weekend, so most vendors don't choose to come to buy goods on weekends. Only a few small retailers are standing on the street in twos and threes.

They first bought two bunches of apples, making sure there was one for everyone in the class, and then weighed out thirty pounds of oranges, so that they had all the fruit.

Then they went to a wholesale store for southern goods and bought fifteen catties of sugar, thirty catties of melon seeds, and more than ten catties of hawthorn slices.

When he was about to buy two cases of Jianlibao, Xu Su stopped him, saying, "The bag is heavy enough. Just buy the Jianlibao at the school store. It won't be much more expensive."

The snacks were also all provided.

Finally, by asking around, they found a shop on the street corner that specialized in selling event ribbon decorations. This was Rao Lu's specialty, and Xu Su and the others didn't interrupt at all.

Rao Lu said she wanted to buy something, and that's what she bought; Xu Su just had to pay the bill.

They had a clear objective and acted extremely quickly, returning with a full load in less than two hours.

On the way back, Xu Su didn't want to repeat the blunder from when she came out, so she deliberately found a single window seat to sit down.

Xi Zirong helped her with her studies a lot. Although Xu Su didn't quite understand his behavior, she still didn't want to speak ill of him, so she could only avoid him.

In fact, in both of Xu Su's lives, she was almost always harsh to Zhou Mochen.

For a time, making Zhou Mochen suffer was Xu Su's greatest joy.

After returning to school, Xu Su put the purchased items in Mr. Wu's office, as he had instructed beforehand, and even gave her the office key in advance.
