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

It wasn't a secret in the Chen family that Xu Weiping's finger had been cut off by Zhou Mochen's men, so it was normal for Chen Ni to know. However, Xu Su didn't realize that her sister actually thought this way about her.

Her best friend's true feelings were actually like this to her!

In this life, from the day he was reborn, Xu Su was determined not to let Chen Ni follow the same path as in his previous life. The guarantee written by Chen Ni is still carefully kept in her schoolbag.

Xu Su has been devoted to this younger sister in both her past and present lives. Even when her own love life was in complete chaos, she never forgot to drive that blond-haired girl away.

Unexpectedly, after the young blond guy left, a married private tutor arrived.

This is Chen Ni's fate; perhaps she really shouldn't have interfered.

She should respect other people's fates, otherwise she will only do a thankless job and suffer their resentment...

Xu Su's face was so pale that it brought Chen Ni, who was rambling in a fit of rage, back to her senses. She paused, then explained somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't mean what you said. It's just that, Su Su, can you please leave me alone? He was driven away by you and your boyfriend, wasn't he?"

Xu Su looked quietly at her younger sister and smiled bitterly: "I'll tell you where he is after your college entrance exam."

“With my grades, I won’t get into a good university in the college entrance exam.” Seeing Xu Su relent, Chen Ni was overjoyed: “I’m different from you. You can still get into Peking University while you’re in a relationship. I can’t. With my scores, I can’t even get into a junior college. There’s no point in taking the college entrance exam at all.”

"..." The words, exactly the same as in his previous life, left Xu Su speechless.

After a long while, Xu Su stood up with a headache, walked to a corner, and dialed Zhou Mochen's number.

A little while later, he got a number and gave it to his aunt.

Xu Su said to Chen Ni, "I can't let my aunt blame me. Ask your mom for that man's number. If she's willing to give it to you, I won't stop her."

Everyone has their own destiny. Just like her, didn't she also get entangled with Zhou Mochen after being reborn?

Chen Ni is right. She herself started dating Xi Zirong in her second year of high school, and then moved in with Zhou Mochen in her third year.

What gives you the right to restrict your sister from dating?

She doesn't deserve it!

This year was incredibly bleak.

Xu Su didn't pay attention to whether her aunt gave the phone to Chen Ni later.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Su said goodbye to her grandmother, drove back to Changshi, and took a flight back to Beijing the next day.

It's only been half a year since I graduated from high school, but Changshi already feels so unfamiliar.

Xu Su drove aimlessly for a long time before finally stopping in front of the No. 1 Middle School.

Looking at the school where she studied for six years, the red brick teaching building is still beautiful.

She was wearing a short white down jacket, a black scarf around her neck, and no mask, making her very conspicuous at the school gate.

Xu Su felt a weight on her shoulder and turned around to see Xi Zirong smiling at her.

A tall, handsome young man approached with a broad smile: "What a coincidence?"

His smile was just like it was two winters ago, when they were still together. Xi Zirong's favorite thing to do was to hold her hand and buy her a hot milk tea outside the school, and then just smile and look at her like that.

Xu Su really wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she barely managed to hold back.

She nodded and said, "What if we can't get in since we don't have student IDs now?"

"It's alright, we're outstanding graduates, Old Wu's prized students." Xi Zirong waved the phone in her hand and coaxed her with a smile, "I'll call him out and lead us in."

"..."

Teacher Wu came out quickly; she was even at school on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The life of a teacher is truly not easy.

The campus was deserted, with only high school juniors and seniors attending tutoring sessions.

Xu Su and Xi Zirong wandered around the campus for a long time before finally walking up to the teaching building. Xu Su took out her phone and looked at photos of students undergoing military training that she had taken there two years ago.

Xi Zirong leaned closer, looking at the photos on the phone, and asked in confusion, "Are these our juniors from next year?"

“Hmm…” Xu Su said, “It’s the senior class of this year, the ones who are taking extra classes there.”

When this photo was taken, Xi Zirong was still hospitalized and hadn't come to school. She was worried that something might have happened, so she came to ask Teacher Wu for information. After coming out, she stood in the corridor and saw the younger students standing at attention with vigor, so she couldn't help but take a picture.

Looking at it now, everything has changed.

Perhaps this is what youth is like: wanting to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it's never the same as the carefree days of youth.

The scene is exactly the same, the people are exactly the same, but everything is different from before.

They've grown up; they're no longer teenagers, they're all in their early twenties now.

After leaving the teaching building and arriving at the playground, Xu Su looked at the familiar lawn and smiled: "Did that beating hurt?"

Xi Zirong was taken aback, then laughed: "He suddenly attacked, and I didn't have time to react. Actually, if we really fought, I wasn't that bad."

Zhou Mochen kicked him directly without any warning, so it's normal that people couldn't react in time.

Xu Su sat on the bench, tilting her head to look at him: "Xi Zirong, it seems like you've really suffered a lot because of me."

“Yes,” Xi Zirong nodded gently, “lots and lots.”

There are even more things that you simply cannot know or experience.

Xi Zirong sat down next to her, took Xu Su's hand, looked down at the girl's slender fingers in his palm, kissed each one, and whispered, "I really like you, so no matter how much I suffer, I can't forget you."

Xu Su's fingertips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked quickly, barely managing to hold them back.

How could she be so wicked?

She's a terrible woman, she's unforgivable, she betrayed such a young man.

At her most heartbroken moment, Xu Su even thought about eloping with Xi Zirong without caring about anything else. Even if Zhou Mochen chased her all over the world, it would be better than making him suffer like this.

She didn't want her Xi Zirong to suffer at all, not even a little bit!

But what about Zhou Mochen?

What should be done about that madman?

Xu Su tightened her grip on Xi Zirong's hand, rested her head on his shoulder, and sat there blankly for a long time.

As dusk fell, the two left the school and had dinner together.

Looking at the girl across from her who was engrossed in her food, Xi Zirong poured her a full glass of juice and asked softly, "Are you going back to school tomorrow?"

Xu Su nodded: "Yes, the tickets are bought."

"I'm going back tomorrow too," Xi Zirong coaxed her with a smile. "Why don't you cancel your ticket and ride back in my car? You can keep me company."

"No need," Xu Su said, taking a sip of mango juice. "I bought tickets with Huang Feng and the others, and we agreed to return to Beijing together."

Xi Zirong said, "Then you can all ride in my car. Su Su, come keep me company. It's such a long journey, and if I get sleepy, I'll have a few people to chat with."

"..." Xu Su really wanted to say that with Huang Chao around, if she took Huang Feng back to Beijing in Xi Zirong's car, Zhou Mochen would know immediately...
