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

Class 1, Grade 3, Kangxian No.1 Middle School.

A transfer student came today, and the teacher led him into the classroom.

"Hello classmates, my name is Xi Zirong."

The boy had pale skin, a tall and slender build, and bright eyes. Standing next to the teacher, he exuded more presence than the teacher, and seemed to shine brightly.

Even in a simple blue and white school uniform, he looked incredibly handsome.

I heard he's a top student from the provincial capital.

I don't know why I transferred to a small county town like theirs at such a crucial stage as the third year of junior high school.

He clearly seemed completely out of place here.

He should be studying in a brighter classroom.

The students in the class were whispering among themselves. The teacher, who had just received a great gift, couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She politely said to the person next to her, "Xi, please see where you would like to sit."

Xi Zirong glanced around the classroom and then casually pointed to the seat by the window.

The teacher was taken aback; she hadn't expected it to be the school beauty's spot.

However, thinking that such a brilliant student would probably not pose any risk of early romantic relationships, he immediately nodded.

Xu Su was tidying up her things when her deskmate snapped out of her reverie. "What's wrong?"

My deskmate looked distressed: "I don't know who that transfer student is. He wants my seat, and the teacher asked me to make room for him."

Xu Su raised her eyebrows and looked at the 'transfer student' who had already walked over.

Xi Zirong smiled subconsciously, "...Hello classmate, my name is Xi Zirong."

For some reason, Xu Su noticed that his voice was trembling slightly.

Feeling a prickling sensation in her heart, Xu Su pursed her lips and said, "Hello."

The last semester of junior high school is a time when every minute counts.

Xu Su was determined to get into the top high school in Changshi and return to her parents' side, so she worked even harder.

After saying that, he lowered his head again.

She was very focused for half the class until a long, slender hand tapped on the edge of her desk.

Xu Su glanced to the side and saw the new transfer student smiling slightly at her. "Xu, doesn't your neck hurt?"

"..." Xu Su was silent for a moment before answering him, "No."

The new student said with a serious face: "You also need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, otherwise you will be at risk of cervical spondylosis."

His earnestness was more convincing than any teacher's. Xu Su thought for a moment, "What's your name again?"

"...Xi Zirong".

"Oh," Xu Su nodded and called out, "Xi Zirong."

The moment those three words were uttered, the boy beside him instantly turned red in the eyes.

Xu Su, puzzled, tilted her head and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

"No one has ever called me that before, and I'm a little touched."

Xu Su frowned: "Doesn't your friend call you by your name?"

Xi Zirong's eyes reddened even more: "I have no friends."

"..." Xu Su was half-believing and half-doubting.

“My grades are too good, and my classmates don’t like to play with me. I’ve never had any friends since I was little, which is why I transferred schools,” Xi Zirong said, her eyes red. “Can you be my friend?”

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

His reddened eyes looked really good, making Xu Su feel a little sorry for him. "Then I'll be your friend. Don't worry, I won't stop playing with you just because you have good grades."

She's number one in the whole school.

No matter how good the grades are, how good can they be?

Soon, this thought vanished after the first diagnostic test.

She truly understood what it meant to be far ahead of everyone else.

he……

"Su Su," as if sensing her complicated emotions, the boy next to her cautiously tilted his head and leaned closer: "My grades are really good, how about I tutor you from now on?"

In less than a week, his address changed from "Student Xu" to "Xu Su" and then to "Su Su".

Xu Su didn't notice anything amiss. She nodded, took out her English test paper, and said, "Read it to me."

She had already noticed that this person's spoken English was even better than his reading in the listening test.

Xi Zirong responded without hesitation, immediately taking her test paper and explaining it as she read it aloud.

As the days passed, the summer heat gradually dissipated.

The first monthly exam is approaching.

The results were the same as in the mock exam, but Xu Su's scores improved a lot, and the gap in total scores was no longer so huge.

Their revolutionary friendship progressed greatly as they worked through each exam paper.

The male and female dormitories are not far apart. For more than a month, they have been studying together, eating together, and returning to the dormitory together.

One of them was first in the whole school, and the other was second in the whole school.

One is the school beauty, and the other is the school hunk.

We were still deskmates.

and!

There are no conflicts between teenage boys and girls.

During adolescence, when even a single word is awkward, these two are always whispering together, going in and out of the house together. Their close relationship makes it hard not to wonder if they're in a relationship.

During the last period of evening self-study, Xu Su was called to the teacher's office.

She had just stood up when Xi Zirong also stood up. "I'll go with you."

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly.

Xu Su was also taken aback.

Under the classroom lights, the boy's face was calm and resolute, but his eyes...

She couldn't describe it.

Actually, she always felt that his eyes were strange.

Not an ordinary classmate.

They're not friends.

She had seen classmates who were in early relationships and had even carefully observed their eyes.

It's different from his.

The look Xi Zirong gave her was unique to her.

It seems to contain a lot of hidden emotions.

Full of stories, full of...emotions.

The two went into the teacher's office together.

Xu Su said: I didn't have a puppy love relationship.

She and those around her also clarified the situation.

However, Xi Zirong seemed to be thinking of some past event and remained silent for a long time.

Is there anything else the teacher doesn't understand?

Xu Su came out first.

Xi Zirong was left inside, talking to the teacher.

He didn't come out until after evening self-study.

In the classroom, most of the students had already left.

Xu Su was tidying up her desk.

The person next to me came back.

She tilted her head to look and saw that the other person was also looking at her.

It was that look in her eyes again, one she couldn't decipher.

Xu Su pursed her lips, "You...you like me?"

Xi Zirong looked at her in silence.

The sixteen-year-old girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail. Her features were beginning to develop, and she was stunningly beautiful, yet still retained a touch of childishness.

Without his protection, I don't know how many people would have been worried about him.

The things she wrote about in her diary will happen; someone will come and bully his girl.

He stared at her for so long that Xu Su became uncomfortable and turned her face away. "Fine, don't tell me then."

She stood up and walked out of the classroom. As soon as she left the teaching building, someone caught up with her and grabbed her wrist.

"like."

Right now, only the lights in a few third-grade classes in the school building are still on.

The early autumn night was a bit chilly, but Xu Su's heart was pounding.

she……

“I really like it,” Xi Zirong said, squeezing her wrist tightly. “I really like it, I really like it, I really like it…”

"Alright!" Xu Su pulled her hand away, saying irritably, "What are you saying all this time?"

They weren't afraid of being overheard.

She started walking towards the dormitory, with Xi Zirong following behind. Once they were in the shadows and no one else was around, he whispered, "What about you?"
