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

At least the other party was not old. Xi Zirong asked herself honestly, the man had a good figure and temperament, was handsome and refined, and looked like a dignified gentleman.

Furthermore, he was willing to donate five million yuan directly to Xu Su.

Xi Zirong was very clever; he immediately figured out Zhou Mochen's purpose for donating the money.

Not only that, he also made many other connections.

Xu Su turned her head to look at him. There was a hint of dejection in Xi Zirong's eyes. Today's meeting had overturned all his previous expectations.

His rival's excellence was somewhat disheartening, and he seemed to understand what Xu Su had said before: "He can give me the best."

The best...

It's not just about material conditions, but also about sincerity.

Xu Su remained silent. She knew that if she talked more about how outstanding Zhou Mochen was, Xi Zirong would give up on him more quickly.

But she couldn't say it; all she could do was remain silent.

Let Xi Zirong figure it out herself.

After a long silence, Xi Zirong looked down into Xu Su's eyes and asked, "You said last year that you didn't like him, does that still hold true now?"

"..." Xu Su tried to look away, but his face was firmly cupped in his hands.

Xi Zirong was somewhat assertive. He said, "Look me in the eye when you answer."

The boy's eyes were filled with her.

Xu Su glanced at it, then lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice, "Don't keep dwelling on this issue, Xi Zirong. We are students, let's focus on our studies."

"Yes, I know I need to study hard," Xi Zirong replied softly, then leaned closer. "But this answer is very important to me, Xu Su. Don't lie to me, answer me, okay?"

Do you like Zhou Mochen?

Xu Su really thought about this question carefully.

Soon, Xu Su pulled away Xi Zirong's hand that was cupping her face and said irritably, "I don't like it. You almost led me astray. Xi Zirong, is that all you have on your mind?"

Xi Zirong persisted, pressing, "You really don't like it?"

Xu Su stood up, looked at Xi Zirong who had also stood up, and said seriously, "I don't like it."

He was very happy, his face beaming with a smile, and he leaned closer, asking, "Do you like me?"

"..." Xu Su pushed him away, feeling utterly helpless: "I don't like it, I only like studying."

Xu Su really didn't want to waste any more time with him, and as she was about to leave, the man grabbed her wrist.

Xi Zirong said in a low voice, "I admit he's very outstanding, but I'm not bad either. I'm really not bad, Xu Su. It's okay if you don't like me now, but when you want to be in a relationship, remember to consider me first, okay?"

Okay, okay, everything you said is good.

Xu Su really couldn't do anything with him. She could still argue with Zhou Mochen from time to time, but Xi Zirong had always been too good to her, and she couldn't bring herself to get angry at him now.

She struggled a couple of times and easily broke free from his grasp. Xu Su said, "I'll think about these things after graduation. Xi Zirong, I'm going back to my dorm to pack my things and go home."

This time, Xi Zirong didn't stop them, and the two of them walked towards the dormitory one after the other.

Halfway there, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Xu Su took it out and saw a message from Zhou Mochen: "A lot of stuff? It's not out yet. Should I come help you?"

...It seems this person has already escaped the school leaders' attempts to retain him; he left the school without even having lunch.

On second thought, it was probably because they wanted to take me home.

Xu Su pursed her lips and replied to the message as she walked: Wait a little longer, don't come.

Huang Feng quickly returned to her dormitory and found that she had already packed the things she was going to take home and was sitting on her bed waiting for Xu Su.

Seeing Xu Su return, Huang Feng asked, "My brother is coming to pick me up later, Su Su, are you going to ride back in my brother's car? This time he's driving my dad's car, so don't worry, his boss isn't here."

Xu Su was taken aback, then replied while packing her things, "No need, I'll go back by myself."

She turned to Qian Jia and said with a smile, "You can call me if you're free during the summer vacation."

Qian Jia's home is in a small county town, and there is only a bus to go back in the afternoon. She listened to her two friends' conversation with a smile until Huang Feng mentioned her brother's boss.

Qian Jia also went on stage to receive an award today. She had seen Zhou Mochen up close before. His appearance was already extremely eye-catching. Although almost a year had passed, Qian Jia couldn't quite remember who he was.

But Zhou Mochen looked somewhat familiar, and it wasn't until she heard Huang Feng's words that she realized who he was.

Qian Jia suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Holy crap!!! Fengfeng, your brother's boss is so rich, really so rich!! Didn't you notice that donor? That handsome guy who just appeared on the stage? If I remember correctly, he's your brother's boss!"

The voice was extremely loud, startling Xu Su, who quickly covered up her excitement and continued packing.

Summer vacation lasts for two weeks, and Xu Su only packed her spring clothes; there was no need to bring anything else back.

After quickly tidying up, everyone else in the dorm went wild.

Not only Huang Feng, but also Qiu Dandan and Zhao Mei, who were packing their luggage, stopped and gathered together, chattering about the donor.

Huang Feng did not receive her scholarship this semester. She did not go on stage to receive the award, nor did she make a point of looking at the people on the stage.

Qian Jia's words shocked her just as much as the others, and she began to rack her brains to recall whether her brother had told the family about his boss's background.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Feng shook her head in frustration: "My brother never talks about business at home. I only know that his boss is from Beijing. He came to our Changshi to invest in several big projects. Anyway, my brother rarely talks about his boss. He is always very respectful. He must be someone important."

Qian Jia was still excited when she grabbed Xu Su and exclaimed, "Didn't he take a picture with us? It looks like he was standing right next to you, Su Su, didn't you recognize him?"

"..." Xu Su smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a long pause, he managed to say, "With so many leaders around, I didn't dare to look around."

Qian Jia expressed her understanding, saying that she would also be nervous if she were standing at the front taking photos with the school leaders.

Qiu Dandan said, "I have a fellow villager from Class 16 who also went up on stage to receive an award today. She said there was a super handsome guy on the stage. Could he be talking about this donor?"

Qian Jia nodded vigorously: "He's really handsome. We met him last year, but we were young and didn't know any better. We just thought he had a strong presence and then forgot about him. But seeing him today, I'm really amazed."

She looked at Huang Feng and Xu Su, seeking their approval: "Right?"

"..." Xu Su finally finished packing her things. Facing Qian Jia's question, she nodded stiffly: "It is quite beautiful."

Huang Feng leaned over and put her arm around Xu Su, jokingly scolding Qian Jia: "Why do you keep asking this? How could our Su Su possibly judge others? If we're talking about handsome, isn't our class monitor handsome?"
