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

Qian Jia feigned sudden realization: "Oh dear, it's my fault. My question has put my Su Su in a difficult position."

"It would be terrible if Xi Shen heard Su Su say that other boys are handsome."

"We shouldn't ask that because of all the food and drinks the class monitor provided, it's my fault, my fault..."

Xu Su: ......

Looking at these two drama queens, Xu Su rubbed her temples in exasperation. "You two keep chatting. I'm going home now to have lunch."

After a busy morning, it was almost 11:30. Xu Su got home just in time for dinner and didn't want to linger.

I plan to finish lunch, pack a couple of changes of clothes, and head back to my maternal grandmother's house in the countryside for summer vacation.

Xu Su carried a large bag containing two sets of autumn school uniforms and a few of her thick clothes. She had very little stuff and walked out of the school gate with ease.

She walked more than 100 meters, then carried her things to the car.

The air conditioning in the car was just right. Xu Su took out two tissues to wipe her sweat. Noticing Zhou Mochen's gaze, she pouted and handed him the bag in her hand: "Put it away for me."

With her free hand fastening her seatbelt, Xu Su casually asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

Zhou Mochen took the bag, put it on the back seat, then turned to look at her, his eyes a little aggrieved: "It hasn't been long, but Su Su, you went to your grandma's house for summer vacation, what am I going to do?"

? ?

Xu Su was taken aback. Looking at the man's serious expression, she said irritably, "How would I know what you're going to do? I rarely get a summer vacation, of course I'm going to visit my grandma. You know that staying at my parents' house is affecting my mood."

If she could, Xu Su would like to stay at school forever. Now that she's on vacation, she has a choice and won't stay in Changshi to watch Chen Shulan and her husband's bizarre antics.

Zhou Mochen paused for a moment, then said, "I finally got you a holiday, but you're leaving Changshi again, making it even harder to see you."

When Zhou Mochen was at school, he could come and see her if he missed her. But this time, Xu Su went back to her hometown, and even by car, it would take three or four hours.

"..." Xu Su ignored his complaints and urged, "Drive quickly, I need to go home for a meal and then catch the bus back to Kang County."

There is only one bus to Kang County this afternoon, departing at 3:00 PM sharp. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Zhou Mochen sighed, seemingly unable to do anything about her, and obediently started the car.

He said slowly, "I'll take you back, Xu Su. Show me the way. Where exactly is your grandmother's house? I can't go half a month without seeing you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Su's eyes widened. "I would never ride in your car to my grandmother's house! Zhou Mochen, that's the countryside. Do you know what the countryside is? It's a country road that hasn't even been paved with cement, full of muddy, potholed paths. You might not see a car like yours for a month."

If she really rides back to her hometown in Zhou Mochen's car, the news will probably spread throughout Chenjia Village that very day.

'Grandma Chen's granddaughter, whom she raised, married a rich man.'

After all, Xu Susheng was good-looking, and as she grew older, the villagers would jokingly say that she would definitely marry a rich man in the future.

There are few entertainment activities in the countryside, and the women in the streets and alleys are best at gossiping. If something happens in any household, the whole village will know about it in less than a few hours.

Xu Su didn't want any rumors to circulate about her in the place where she grew up.

She couldn't do this or that, and the smile on Zhou Mochen's face gradually faded.

Just then, they came to a traffic light. He slammed on the brakes, turned around, and said with a burning gaze, "Xu Su, think about it for me. What will I do if I can't see you?"

The man asked the question with such seriousness, as if not seeing her for half a month would kill him.

Xu Su: ......

Xu Sugan fell silent instantly.

After a moment, she said in a conciliatory tone, "We can communicate via text message. How about this, I promise you, I'll reply to any messages you send me when I see them, okay?"

Zhou Mochen sneered, "So you finally admit that you saw the previous messages but didn't reply, right?"

The red light turned green, and the car started moving again.

Xu Su was momentarily speechless at his words, then quickly changed the subject, slamming her forehead together: "I haven't even said anything to you yet, Zhou Mochen! Why did you talk to me in front of so many teachers and classmates at school today?"

Thinking of his tone when he said, "Xu, I don't eat people," Xu Su became furious.

She was angry, but Zhou Mochen was even angrier than her. His face was cold: "Why did you keep hiding from that male classmate next to you when you saw me coming? He's the top student in the grade, right? He seems to care about you quite a bit. Xu Su, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

The car was parked not far from the Xu family's house. Zhou Mochen didn't turn off the engine. He reached out and took Xu Su's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Tell me about it? What was that person's name again, Xi Zirong?"

The car was quiet. Zhou Mochen had asked casually without taking it seriously, but seeing that she hadn't spoken for so long, he realized something, and his expression gradually became darker and darker.

"Looks like something's really wrong, Xu Su. Don't tell me you like him."

The hand that was being held tightened, and Xu Su struggled for a moment but couldn't break free.

The air conditioning in the car was very strong. Xu Su turned her head stiffly and looked at Zhou Mochen's expressionless face.

His face was expressionless, but his eyes seemed to radiate coldness as he stared intently at her without blinking.

Xu Su recalled their conversation in the dormitory just now.

Is he an incredibly handsome guy?

She couldn't resist reaching out her free right hand to touch Zhou Mochen's handsome face, then mimicking his tone, she said, "Zhou Mochen, don't look like you're facing a formidable enemy. Be confident. Do you really think you're inferior to Xi Zirong?"

For a moment, Zhou Mochen was genuinely comparing the two, then his expression gradually softened.

No matter how he compared them, he felt he had won completely.

"This person is getting easier to coax," Xu Su thought casually.

Just as Xu Su thought the matter was over and was about to withdraw her hand, he grabbed her tightly and pressed it against her face.

Zhou Mochen's voice was deep: "Stay away from him. I can tell that Xi Zirong likes you. Even if you don't like him, you should still stay away from him. Xu Su, I'm wary of this."

I'm superstitious about this...

"..." Xu Su paused for a moment, then slowly said, "We are classmates, and I can't refuse necessary communication."

He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Isn't it that in the second year of high school students they are divided into arts and science classes? Otherwise, I'll go and talk to him and ask him to leave your class?"

Xu Su glared at him angrily: "Zhou Mochen, don't overreach yourself. It's not enough that you've already reached into my house, now you're trying to reach into my school? Just because you have some money, you think you can do whatever you want?"

Zhou Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly as he sized her up: "Why are you angry now? I'm going to transfer him out of your class, and you're angry?"

Xu Su laughed angrily: "You're being completely unreasonable! Do whatever you want, Zhou Mochen. If interfering in my affairs at school makes you happier, then go ahead and do it."
