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

Xi Zirong caught up with her and grabbed her arm. She looked her over and, relieved to find that she wasn't crying this time, asked, "What did Lao Wu say to you this time?"

Xu Su shook off his hand: "Xi Zirong, can you please stop this habit of hitting me? The teacher didn't say anything, so don't act like Teacher Wu is some kind of monster, okay?"

After saying that, Xu Su quickly went downstairs and returned to the classroom.

She walked over to Huang Feng and Qian Jia, smiling, and said, "We can share a room now, Huang Feng. Teacher Wu has given us accommodation slips, and the beds have all been arranged."

The problem that had been bothering them all morning was resolved, and all three of them were very happy.

I quickly returned to my dorm room and started tidying up my bed.

This time, there were no lower bunks for them to sleep in, so Xu Su and Huang Feng slept in the upper bunks.

The morning was for registration, and classes officially started in the afternoon.

The first thing to do at the start of the school year is still to distribute textbooks. The textbooks for the second semester of the first year of high school were distributed last semester, and this time the textbooks for the second year of high school are being distributed.

After the books were sorted, Teacher Wu formally started talking to everyone about the arts and sciences class division and handed out a form to each person.

In fact, everyone had a general idea of ​​the class assignments. Even boarding students had gone home to discuss it with their parents during the winter break.

Therefore, after the class assignment application forms were handed out, many students filled them out quickly.

Xu Su filled in her answer decisively: science.

Xi Zirong poked the girl at the table in front of her with her pen. Xu Su felt the movement and didn't want to turn around, but the person kept poking her.

Annoying! She turned around and glared at him angrily.

Xi Zirong was taken aback by the glare, then leaned closer. "You haven't changed your mind, have you? You're still choosing science, right?"

Xu Su didn't want to pay attention to him, but having witnessed his persistence, she simply handed him the form, saying, "Take a look for yourself."

Xi Zirong accepted it without hesitation, glanced at it, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chen Huiyu and the others witnessed the whole thing. Although they had all learned more or less about their class monitor’s advances toward Xu Su over the past six months, they were still shocked after just a few days apart.

On the podium, Teacher Wu was saying, "Fill out this application form carefully. After you submit it, you will be directly divided into arts and science classes in the second year of high school. If you want to change it in the second year, it will be very troublesome."

They only had ten minutes to fill out the application form, and then the course schedule for this semester was handed out.

The pace was fast; in less than a class period, after finishing the minor details, the teacher had already started going over the newly distributed books.

Xu Su noticed that several students were missing from her class this time.

Thinking back to his past life, when he was one of the few who moved out of the advanced class, he felt a pang of sadness.

The application for choosing between arts and sciences was submitted, and the homeroom teachers of other classes were keeping an eye on these top students in the advanced class, especially the Chinese teacher. Basically, the students in his class who chose arts would be under his supervision in the second year of high school.

My Chinese teacher's surname is Chen. He's a true literary man. I heard he's published several books of poetry and prose. He spends his days writing articles and earning royalties.

Compared to Mr. Wu, who usually teaches with a serious and composed demeanor, Ms. Chen is gentle and kind, treating her students like friends.

I had heard that the students in Class 1 all adored their homeroom teacher. In order to keep the good students in the class, Teacher Chen used emotional appeals and patiently talked to each of them individually last semester, and finally managed to retain her star student.

Having obtained the list of students from the elite class who chose humanities, I've started paying extra attention to my future students during the past few days of Chinese class.

In contrast, Mr. Wu remained the same as always. However, this was the case in the advanced class. It's unknown whether Mr. Wu secretly assesses the number of students in the advanced class in other classes.

After all, once students enter the second year of high school, many will leave the class who have chosen the humanities track, so the number of science students to be selected from other classes will have to be increased. Given Mr. Wu's personality, he has probably already started paying attention to this.

This resulted in a situation where, from the start of the new semester, not only the top-performing classes showed a positive attitude towards learning, but the other 25 classes in the first year of high school also showed no signs of the laxity that comes with returning to school after the holidays. They were all focused on getting into better classes in the second year placement exam.

High school life may be tough, but looking back, it's the only time you can truly study in peace and quiet.

Many people, when they look back on their youth as adults, recall the sounds of reading aloud during evening self-study sessions.

Xu Su was the same. Although she had a lot of studies, after moving to the dormitory, she only had to go between the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the classroom, and she had two good friends with her.

This period was almost the most carefree time of her two lives; if she could, she wouldn't want to go home on weekends.

Of course, during these carefree days, one should ignore Zhou Mochen's occasional text messages.

This person did keep his promise not to disturb Xu Su's studies, but he still had to reply to Xu Su's text messages every evening after self-study.

It seems that Zhou Mochen believes that if he doesn't try to make his presence felt by Xu Su, she will forget about him.

In the month since school started, Zhou Mochen has picked me up and dropped me off at home four times.

When Xu Su returned home this weekend, she found that Chen Shulan and her husband had become cautious in their attitude towards her again.

Their change was that they didn't let Xu Su do housework. During her afternoon break, Xu Su wanted to wash the dishes on her own, but Chen Shulan stopped her. It's impossible that she suddenly had a burst of maternal love.

Back in her room, Xu Su was filled with frustration. For the first time, she proactively texted Zhou Mochen: What did you say to my parents? Or did you get someone to do something? Why did my parents' attitude change?

As a result, Zhou Mochen refused to admit that he had done anything.

A few minutes later, he sent another message: "Maybe it's because I don't usually live here, and I only show up when you go home for vacation, that your parents found out about this. Xu Su, I really didn't do anything to your parents."

Xu Su stared intently at her phone, deep in thought.

Zhou Mochen is right. He doesn't usually live here, but whenever I come back, he follows me back.

After this happened several times, Chen Shulan and her husband were not stupid.

Most importantly, they must have guessed Zhou Mochen's identity. After all, this building is the staff dormitory of the textile factory. With his extravagant demeanor, he is obviously not someone from the factory. Why did he suddenly move to the opposite side of the street?

Doesn't this match up with what Xu Weiping thought last year about 'the old factory director's successor'?

Xu Su was getting annoyed, but the man's text messages kept coming: "Have your parents figured out our relationship? Don't worry, it's okay."

"..." Xu Su sneered, turned off her phone, and didn't bother to look at it again.

After finishing dinner, Xu Su prepared to return to school for evening self-study.

Chen Shulan enthusiastically took out her living expenses for next week, saying, "You're a grown woman now. Don't neglect yourself at school. If you want some fruit or snacks, buy them for yourself. Studying is important, but your health is important too. Don't make your dad and me worry."

So disgusting.

The stark contrast between her parents' attitudes during the Lunar New Year and their subsequent complete reversal disgusted Xu Su.
