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

In the afternoon, before Zhou Mochen could knock on the door, Xu Su went over on her own.

It's just a change of location for doing homework. As long as this person doesn't do anything inappropriate, it's not a big deal for Xu Su.

On the last day of winter break, Xu Su and Zhou Mochen spent the day alone together.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Xu Su carried her packed luggage and the tuition fee that Chen Shulan had given her the night before and left home.

This time, she didn't need her parents to accompany her to register, and even if she lives at school, she can arrange everything herself.

Zhou Mochen's car was still parked far away. When he saw the girl struggling to carry her luggage towards him, he couldn't help but get out of the car, walk over quickly, take the luggage, and put it in the trunk.

After getting in the car, before starting it, he asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Xu Su nodded: "My mom cooked porridge, and I've already eaten."

Zhou Mochen reached out and shook her hand, then withdrew it before she could pull it away, and started the car.

While steering the car, he asked, "Your luggage is heavy, shall I take you to your dorm later?"

The dormitory room hasn't been assigned yet. Xu Su plans to leave her things with Qian Jia first, and then go to the classroom to report and ask Teacher Wu.

Hearing Zhou Mochen's words, Xu Su said, "No need, I can manage by myself. Just take me to the school gate."

Zhou Mochen remained silent the entire way until the car stopped, at which point he said, "Xu Su, remember to reply to my messages every day after you start living at school."

“…” Xu Su paused for a few seconds, then nodded: “Understood.”

Just as she was about to get off the bus, the man next to her leaned over and hugged her tightly. Compared to last time, this was a very light hug.

"Xu Su, if I want to see you, can you come out and see me?"

Xu Su was speechless at these words.

It's not like she's not going home anymore; she still needs him to pick her up and drop her off every week.

Xu Su pushed him away and said seriously, "Zhou Mochen, don't disturb my studies."

Zhou Mochen chuckled, released his hand, and got out of the car.

He opened the trunk, took out Xu Su's luggage, and watched her walk away with difficulty carrying her things.

Step by step, we walk further and further away.

Zhou Mochen stared blankly until Xu Su was no longer in sight.

The school was extremely lively on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The first-year high school students were the last to return to school; the second and third-year students had already officially started school long ago. Xu Su struggled to carry her things as she walked around the campus.

Then I felt my hands go empty; my luggage had been taken away.

Xi Zirong arrived at some point, carrying her luggage, and stood to the side, silently watching her.

Xu Su recalled the phone call and text message during the Spring Festival, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She reached out, trying to retrieve her luggage.

Xi Zirong shifted her body slightly to avoid her hand and said, "I'll take it to your dorm for you."

Xu Su didn't move, she just looked at him and said, "Thank you, I can carry it myself."

There were many students returning to school around, and they kept looking back at them even after walking a long distance.

Xi Zirong said, "We're classmates and good friends. I'm going to the dorm anyway, so helping you carry your things is just a favor. Xu Su, don't refuse me."

Xu Su then noticed that he was carrying a bulging bag on his back, which was clearly luggage.

She paused, then asked, "You live on campus too?"

Xi Zirong nodded, took a step towards the dormitory, and glanced at her as she said, "It's inconvenient to commute, so I plan to live on campus starting this semester."

It's true that commuting to school is inconvenient, a point Xu Su largely agrees with. They get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs. Living at school means they can at least sleep an extra half hour. Even Huang Feng decided to live at school this year.

Xu Su followed behind him. Seeing that he was carrying his own bag and was also helping her carry her bag, she felt a little guilty and reached out her hand: "Shall we carry them together?"

Xi Zirong dodged to the side again, saying, "Just follow me."

"..." He looks tall and thin, but he's quite strong.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Xu Su took her luggage, thanked Xi Zirong, and carried it up to the second floor herself.

Huang Feng arrived earlier than her, while Qian Jia had arrived yesterday.

Most students in the county town returned to school early.

Upon seeing Xu Su arrive, the group chatted warmly, easing the tension of not seeing each other for several days.

Afterwards, the three of them went to the classroom to register.

Qian Jia said, "I hope you can all be assigned to my dormitory. There are two beds left, so you can each have one. That way, the three of us can live together again."

This reminds me of my military training days.

Huang Feng had the same idea: "I'll ask Teacher Wu for help later, but I don't know if Teacher Wu will take care of such a small matter as assigning dorm rooms."

"Even if we don't care, what Lao Wu said still has its uses. However, I think your application is useless. We need to get our math class representative to speak up before Lao Wu will take action."

Xu Su, who was being called out, looked annoyed. "Aren't we all Professor Wu's students?"

Qian Jia said, "It's different, it's different. In our class, Teacher Wu treats you the best, I really mean it."

"You noticed again?"

"Of course, if it were a different girl having a dating rumor with Xi Shen, it would be strange if Teacher Wu was so amiable."

The conversation was getting more and more outrageous, so Huang Feng tugged at Qian Jia's hand, signaling her to look ahead.

At a distance of about twenty meters, Xi Zirong and two boys from her class were walking ahead, I wonder if they heard the conversation over there.

Qian Jia immediately fell silent, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, the first three people didn't stop, and the six of them arrived at the classroom one after another.

Xu Su was about to pay her tuition when Teacher Wu called her into his office.

As soon as he sat down, he turned the key to the drawer and took out an envelope. "This is your scholarship from last semester. I've applied for it for you. The accommodation and tuition fees totaled 615 yuan, which has already been deducted. Here is 885 yuan. Take a look."

He was considerate of the self-esteem of teenagers and did not do so in the classroom in front of their classmates.

Xu Su felt a warmth and a touch of surprise in her heart. Eight hundred and eighty-five yuan. She looked up at the teacher and asked, "I got into the top three in the grade in the final exam?"

Teacher Wu smiled and said, "Yes, you came in third place. The second place went to Gu Yu from Class 16."

Third place! After a pause, Xu Su immediately cheered up again. Third place is good too, since the money is the same anyway.

Xu Su thanked Teacher Wu, who waved her hand and said, "Your studying hard is the greatest way to repay me. By the way, do you have a dormitory room you'd like to live in? I'll write you a form and you can fill it in."

In Xu Su's memory, Teacher Wu had always been the kind of person who was impartial and incorruptible. She saw that he even considered small things like which dormitory room the students should stay in.

After a two-second pause, Xu Su recalled what Qian Jia had said on the way and realized that Teacher Wu was truly an exceptionally good teacher.

As I stepped out of the office, I saw Xi Zirong standing outside waiting.

"..." Xu Su paused, then ignored him and went downstairs.
