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

After Shen Chen dismissed the school leaders, Xu Su froze for a moment before slowly walking towards him.

Jiang Chusheng tried to follow, but she glared at him.

It was already afternoon when school let out. They walked to the school parking lot and got into the car.

Shen Chen tried to start the car with trembling hands, but failed several times.

He gave up, turned around, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her close. "Didn't we say we wouldn't date too early?"

“…I didn’t have a relationship in school,” Xu Su explained earnestly, “I really didn’t have a relationship in school.”

Shen Chen took a wet wipe and wiped her forehead, then cupped her face and placed a kiss on it.

Xu Su let him do as he pleased, but turned her head away as his lips slid down.

"He dared to kiss you in front of so many classmates, what about in private?" He hugged her tightly, his lips landing on her neck: "Xu Su, I said if you want to have a relationship, you can come to me."

"I am no worse than anyone else."

Xu Su patiently explained, "I really didn't have a puppy love relationship. It was just an accident."

Shen Chen grasped her chin, his gaze fixed on her lips, and asked in a trembling voice, "Have you two kissed?"

"..." Xu Su was discouraged and simply stopped explaining.

Naturally, he kissed her.

She neither liked nor disliked it.

I tried to push him away twice, but he wouldn't budge, so I just let him kiss me.

His shirt collar was unbuttoned, and he reached inside, glaring at her with red eyes. "Did you let him touch you?"

"..." Xu Su couldn't take it anymore and pushed him away, "Stop acting crazy!"

Shen Chen took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

"I like you, Xu Su," he said, holding her hand, each word distinct. "I like you. And you, do you like Jiang Chusheng or me?"

Xu Su: "I don't date young."

She promised him that she would keep her distance from all male classmates.

Even so, he still came to school almost every day, sometimes even coming directly to the classroom.

Everyone in the school knows that she has a suitor from outside the school.

He is four years older than her.

He's handsome, rich, and powerful.

But Jiang Chusheng's family was no less impressive; the young man was sharp and unassuming, never backing down in the slightest.

The day before winter break, he cornered her on the school road and confessed his feelings.

A true confession.

Unlike Shen Chen's jealousy that drove him to madness, Jiang Chusheng possessed the burning passion that all young people should have.

His sincerity was so great that Xu Su couldn't ignore him.

But she still said, "I won't date early."

Jiang Chusheng tried to hold her hand and said carefully, "I'll wait for you, please let me wait for you."

"..." Xu Su hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.

She thought to herself, "Anyway, I don't like Shen Chen."

During winter break, she returned to Kang County, still on Shen Chen's private jet, but this time it was a different one.

He seems to really have power and influence.

She didn't know if she could get rid of him.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't come back with her. He was from the capital and was going there to celebrate the New Year.

She can catch her breath.

After the winter break, he came to pick her up.

I don't know when it started, but he began to call her Su Su, just like his family.

On her seventeenth birthday, he gave her a watch.

Jiang Chusheng took her to skip class, went to an amusement park, watched a movie, and finally, on the Ferris wheel, carefully hugged her and asked, "May I kiss you?"

"..." Xu Su hesitated for a second, and in that very second, he kissed her.

She was shocked to realize that not all first kisses are the same.

Jiang Chusheng was completely disorganized. Although he was gentle and careful, even his breathing sounded awkward.

That day, on the way home from school, she looked at the man in the driver's seat and asked, "Have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

Shen Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to ask this, and shook his head, saying, "No."

"..." Xu Su was silent for a while, then couldn't help but ask him, "Before you kissed me, who else did you kiss?"

"No, you are the first and only person I've ever kissed in my life." He turned his head, puzzled, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Xu Su frowned: "You seem to be very skilled at kissing."

With a screech of brakes, Xu Su lurched forward, but Shen Chen quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Don't accuse me wrongly. I've only ever kissed you once. Besides, what do you mean by 'very skilled at kissing'? Have you ever kissed someone who wasn't skilled?"

He was inexplicably flustered, so he didn't even notice that Xu Su's body suddenly stiffened.

That's true. He's much older than her. Even if he lacks experience, he's probably seen her a few times and has more theoretical knowledge than they do.

Once Xu Su understood these things, the vague unease in her heart gradually disappeared.

She patted his shoulder, "Drive, stop hugging me."

Shen Chen looked at her seriously, "Xu Su, you are the only one I want in this life. I don't want anyone else but you."

Xu Su didn't take it seriously and nodded perfunctorily, "Drive, I'm hungry."

“You can’t have anyone else,” he said stubbornly, cupping her face in his hands. “Promise me that when you’re an adult, you’ll date me.”

"..." Xu Su sighed helplessly and asked the question she had been wanting to ask all along, "When you were in Kang County, were you there to find a child bride?"

She started receiving scholarships from the SC Group when she was in fifth grade.

He was only fifteen years old at the time.

It's unbelievable just to think about it, but if he wasn't going there for her, then his series of actions can't be explained.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chen was amused by her. "That's right, I want to raise you, to watch you grow from a little bean into a graceful young woman. Will you agree to date me?"

Xu Su thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, in order to repay your kindness in raising me, I'll talk to you."

He thought she was joking. "Really?"

Xu Su said, "Really."

Shen Chen's expression turned serious. "I took it seriously."

“Yeah, you’re serious,” Xu Su nudged his shoulder. “Let’s drive now.”

"Did you really agree?"

Xu Su said helplessly, "Then can I not agree?"

Finally, after confirming that her promise was true, he couldn't bear to let her go home all summer.

Xu Su made many friends while following him.

Those in their circle call him Young Master Shen.

She tried drinking a little alcohol, but Shen Chen kept a close eye on her and never let her get drunk, only letting her get slightly tipsy each time.

Aside from that one time he kissed her wildly in the car, he had always been very restrained. Even when she was drunk and easy to talk to, he had no intention of taking advantage of her.

This summer, he even started teaching her to drive.

Their relationship grew closer.

He no longer mentions the name Jiang Chusheng, and she rarely thinks of it either.

This continued until the start of the senior year of high school, when the workload inevitably became more intense.

Even the most prestigious high school is still a high school.

Apart from students who choose to study abroad, all other students must go to the college entrance examination hall.

Xu Su's performance is very consistent, consistently ranking second.

She was furious as she stared at the name Jiang Chusheng, who was ranked first in the grade.

Not long after, Jiang Chusheng became her deskmate.

He generously helped her with physics and chemistry, breaking down each problem into its simplest form and feeding it to her.
