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

Therefore, Xu Su's only means of transportation to school was by bicycle. In her previous life, she didn't even know the roads well, yet she still rode her bicycle back and forth alone.

The bus came to a smooth stop at the No. 1 Middle School bus stop. As soon as we got off the bus, we saw that the school gate was crowded with students, parents and students, as well as some tricycles and private cars, making it impossible to move.

Even at the bus stop, there were more than a dozen parents and students carrying buckets of bedding. On such a hot day, Xu Su even saw a few people carrying kettles of hot water.

These are all freshmen from local counties. Their families are not in Changshi. They will start living on campus as soon as they enter the school. These days, it is not easy to take a taxi. It is not easy to come to the city. They have brought all the things they need for accommodation from home.

Xu Su looked on with some envy. She also wanted to live on campus, but when she mentioned it during dinner last night, it was rejected.

According to Chen Shulan, the No. 1 Middle School is so close, why should she go to live at the school instead of going home? She had only been with her parents for a few days before going to live at the school. Outsiders would think that they were mistreating their daughter.

More than a decade later, Xu Su stepped into the high school gates once again, taking a fresh look at this somewhat old school.

The No. 1 High School of the city is a key high school in Changshi. Its college entrance examination pass rate is among the top in the city and even the province every year. Because of its good academic performance, the school has no shortage of various resources.

Compared to the small county middle school Xu Su attended, the teaching building of the No. 1 Middle School in the city is much more impressive.

This was Chen Shulan's first time visiting this prestigious school in the city. She saw a beautiful new building that looked like it had just been built and exclaimed, "Your generation is really lucky to be able to study in such a nice building."

"Study hard, get into Tsinghua or Peking University, and set a good example for your younger brother."

Xu Su smiled slightly and didn't argue, "I understand, I will study hard."

However, her goal was not a school in Beijing.

The mother and daughter walked and asked questions, and soon saw a five-story building. There was a crowd of people gathered around the building on the right. Xu Su knew that this was the teaching building where the class assignment list was posted.

Although she had memories of her past life and knew that she had been admitted to the top class, she still had to take Chen Shulan there to confirm it.

Chen Shulan, who only had an elementary school education, squeezed to the side of the class assignment list and looked down. She immediately saw her daughter's name and shouted, "Susu, you're in the advanced class. The fifth name is yours!"

With a sound of 'Shua!'

The students and parents crowding around the list all looked in the direction of the voice, and the next second, a noisy discussion broke out.

"Look at her, she's smart and good-looking."

"I heard that the top five students in the rocket class are all top scorers in the high school entrance exams in their respective counties. This girl is amazing."

"How did your parents raise you? You have good grades and are very energetic."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Xu Su blushed slightly. Just as she was about to pull Chen Shulan, who looked smug, away, she was stopped by the teacher standing next to the list.

The young teacher, who looked like he had just started working, enthusiastically gave directions: "Xu, all the first-year classes are in the teaching building on the far east side. There are two staircases that lead up. The advanced class is on the second floor at the far end. This is the shortest way to go up."

He pointed to a building not far away and said, "By the way, your class's homeroom teacher teaches math. His surname is Wu. He is an outstanding math teacher and an outstanding homeroom teacher in our school."

Xu Su didn't recognize the teacher, nor did she remember if this had happened in her previous life. Chen Shulan, standing to the side, thanked her politely with a smile.

The teacher's enthusiastic attitude left the students and their families around them speechless.

Some people took the opportunity to ask for directions, and the teacher patiently pointed them out one by one. Others asked where there was a place at the school where they could photocopy documents, because they hadn't prepared beforehand and didn't know they needed to photocopy their ID cards and household registration books.

Having had experience before, Xu Su had already prepared these things.

This was the first time in her life that Chen Shulan had received so many envious glances. She felt a little smug and followed Xu Su with a radiant face.

Soon they arrived at the brick-red teaching building. The mother and daughter went up to the second floor and walked a few steps inside before seeing the sign for the "Rocket Class" hanging above the classroom door.

The Rocket Class truly lives up to its name; it's an absolute top-tier class at the city's No. 1 Middle School. The teachers' office is just across a wall, meaning their every move is under the teachers' watchful eyes. The school's high regard for this class is self-evident.

Xu Su walked into the class where she had spent a semester in her previous life. There were already about ten people in the classroom, two-thirds of whom were parents. Many students had come to register with both parents.

Xu Su looked at the person sitting in the middle, a young man in his thirties wearing rimless glasses. He looked very refined, but only his students knew how strict this Teacher Wu was.

The young man glanced in their direction, and Chen Shulan quickly led her daughter over.

Handing over the various photocopied documents, Chen Shulan smiled politely, "Teacher, we're here to report for duty."

Teacher Wu took the materials and looked at them. "Xu Su?"

"To!"

Xu Su called out reflexively. Although he had only been taught by him for half a year, he still had deep respect for this teacher.

Teacher Wu nodded and smiled. "I've seen your grades for all three years of junior high. They're excellent for your school. However, good grades in junior high don't mean much."

He suppressed his smile, his face turning serious. "You can't relax here. Maintaining the top ranking in your grade in high school is what makes you capable, and getting the top score in the city in the college entrance exam is what truly makes you amazing, understand?"

"This class brings together the most talented students in the entire school. Remember, you ranked fifth in the class in the high school entrance exam. You need to work even harder than you did in junior high school so that you won't be overtaken, and you might even catch up with the four students ahead of you."

Xu Su nodded obediently. Hearing the exact same words twice had completely changed her mindset.

Ms. Wu smiled again. "I'm your homeroom teacher. If you have any difficulties with your studies, you can come to me."

After speaking to Xu Su, he turned to Chen Shulan and said, "Tuition is 315 yuan, two sets of military training uniforms are 50 yuan each, and two sets of school uniforms for spring and autumn are 200 yuan each, totaling 565 yuan. Are you staying in the dormitory? If so, you will need to pay an additional 400 yuan for dormitory fees."

Chen Shulan had already inquired about the high school tuition fees, and she didn't mind paying more now. She took out a wallet from her pocket and counted out the tuition fees one bill at a time, while replying, "I don't stay at the dormitory."

Teacher Wu nodded, "Come to school on August 20th to report and pick up your books and clothes. The formal military training will begin on the 21st and will last for ten days. The training will take place on this school. Students must stay at the school during the training period and may not go out or ask for leave except in special circumstances."

After explaining everything and collecting the tuition, I handed back a receipt. "If you have nothing else to do, go and familiarize yourself with the dorm. If you have any questions later, come find me."
