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

Huang Feng then asked for the phone number, intending to call and contact them in the next few days, but regretfully gave up after learning that the Xu family did not have a telephone installed.

Seeing the little girl's reluctant expression, Xu Su was somewhat moved.

In the following days, the textile factory remained busy. Apart from delivering lunch to Xu Weiping every day, Xu Su spent all her time reviewing her lessons. The extra attention from her homeroom teacher, whether in her past life or this one, put her under immense pressure.

Due to various reasons in her past life, her grades plummeted in the first semester after entering high school, so much so that she moved out of the top class at No. 1 High School in the second semester of her first year of high school.

Xu Su no longer wanted to recall how she felt at the time. She only knew that when it came to regrets, her studies were one of her regrets in her thirty years of life in her previous life.

In this life, she will devote herself to her studies and strive for excellence.

Soon, the 20th arrived.

Xu Su had already told her parents that no one needed to ask for leave to accompany her to school this time.

Early in the morning, after washing up and drinking a bowl of white rice porridge, Xu Su, with the fifty yuan that Chen Shulan had given her the night before in her pocket, set off from home to the bus stop to catch a bus.

This fifty yuan was for meals during military training. Chen Shulan repeatedly reminded everyone to spend it frugally.

Upon arriving at the school, Xu Su went to her dormitory as if she knew the way well. Huang Feng hadn't arrived yet, but the other six beds in the dormitory were already made up, and the floor was kept very clean. It seemed that dormitory 215 was already full.

There were three girls talking together in the dormitory. They must have arrived at school yesterday and stayed in the dormitory last night. They were all surprised when Xu Su came in.

Qian Jia, who had met Xu Su before, introduced her with a smile, "She's also from the top class, her name is Xu Su, she shares a dorm with us, Zhao Mei, she lives in the bunk below you."

Xu Suchong and the others smiled and nodded, then sat down on their beds. Qian Jia and Qiu Dandan had met before, but Zhao Mei must have come to the dormitory after she had finished packing and left.

Zhao Mei returned the smile in a friendly manner, "That's great, we're in the same class, we can go to the classroom together to register later."

Xu Su remembered this, "Okay."

The atmosphere in the dormitory was relaxed, and the girls started chatting again.

"The No. 1 High School in the city is really big! It's so much bigger than the middle school in our county. Do you know how many classes there are in the first year of high school?" Qiu Dandan exclaimed in amazement, "Twenty-six classes! There are twenty-six classes in just the first year of high school!"

Last time, the rocket class was at the top of the class assignment list. Many students didn't read through the entire class list after finding their own class, so when they heard that there were 26 classes in one grade, several girls were quite shocked.

Zhao Mei's eyes widened in surprise. "I know there are fifty-eight people in our rocket class. If every class has that many people, the number of freshmen in the first year of high school alone would be enough to cover the total number of students in all three grades of junior high school I attended."

Qiu Dandan added, "Also, my home is in An County. I arrived at the school yesterday afternoon. Last time I came to register, I didn't have time to wander around. This time I made a special trip around the school and found that the second-year high school students only had a month of summer vacation and had already started school last week. The third-year students were even worse off, with only seven days of summer vacation."

Qian Jia was munching on a piece of bread she had brought. After swallowing the food, she sighed, "We're in a bad situation too. Our military training took up our summer vacation time, which is equivalent to losing ten days of vacation."

"I was saying that I just passed by the teaching building and saw some classes in session... High school is so tough." Zhao Mei's face turned pale upon hearing the bad news. She was clearly still recovering from the joyful summer vacation and unwilling to accept the high-intensity academic pressure.

Xu Su also joined the conversation: "Among the twenty-six classes, the Rocket Class has the fewest students, while the other classes all have more than seventy students."

She shared what she knew: "Actually, there are more freshmen than you think, probably around 1,700 or 1,800."

Huang Feng's mother is right. Many parents try to get their children into Teacher Wu's class through connections, but he accepts fewer students than other classes, which shows how strict this teacher is.

The No. 1 Middle School of the city is a key high school in Changshi. It has always received preferential treatment from the Education Bureau and has no shortage of teaching resources. Its college entrance examination pass rate is among the top in the city. Students who can get in, even those in ordinary classes, are the best in their respective schools during junior high school.

Competing with so many top students, even those in the elite classes will face immense academic pressure. Although they are currently in the elite class, Xu Su knows that if their final exam scores drop, top students from other classes will be scrambling to get in.

Just as the dormitory was filled with gloom and despair, Huang Feng finally arrived, carrying large and small bags.

She rushed up to Xu Su and gave him a big bear hug, saying, "I missed you so much these past few days at home."

Although they had only known each other for a short time, they both had a good impression of each other.

After exchanging a few words, the two waited a while longer. Seeing that the other three students in the dormitory had not yet arrived, they did not wait any longer and the five of them headed to the classroom together.

Huang Feng attended No. 1 Middle School for three years of junior high school and is very familiar with the campus environment, while Qian Jia and Zhao Mei have only been to No. 1 Middle School twice.

Although Xu Su was a seasoned student who had attended the city's No. 1 High School for three years, he could only pretend to be unfamiliar with the area and let Huang Feng lead the group straight to the first-year teaching building without taking any detours.

The advanced class is on the second floor, next to the teachers' office.

As I walked along, I saw that the doors of every classroom were wide open, and the students who had arrived early had already been instructed by their homeroom teachers to start cleaning the classroom.

Xu Su also saw several familiar faces, all of whom were her old classmates from Kang County. Although the teaching resources of Kang County No. 1 Middle School were not very good, several of them were admitted to the top high school in the city. Unfortunately, they were all in other classes. Xu Su was the only student from Kang County No. 1 Middle School in the top class.

Chen Si carried a bucket of trash out of the classroom and immediately spotted Xu Su in the crowd. Her eyes lit up and she ran over. "Xu Su, I saw your name! You're in the top class, you're really amazing! You got first place in the whole county. I heard Old Li was laughing for over a month, his gums were practically sticking out from laughing."

Chen Si was Xu Su's class monitor in junior high school and always had good grades, so it wasn't surprising that he got into the top high school in the city. Xu Su looked at the class sign he came out of and asked, "Are you in Class 9?"

Chen Si nodded, suppressing her excitement at seeing familiar faces. "It's not just me. Yang Xue, Fan Lulu, and Peng Fei are also from our school at No. 1 Middle School. We can take a ride back together when we have a holiday."

Xu Su calculated the holiday and said, "Okay, I'll take a ride back with you during the National Day holiday."

Chen Si hadn't seen his old classmate for over a month. After exchanging a few words, his new classmate urged him to take out the trash.

Huang Feng and the others smiled as they watched Chen Si walk away. "Old classmate? Your eyes are shining!"
