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

Everyone's sincerity is precious, and Xu Su doesn't want to trample on it at all. However, she can't explain herself to this person.

She didn't even dare to admit to Zhou Mochen that she had fallen for someone else.

Xu Su was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you saying that if I don't stay with you, it would be a betrayal of your sincerity?"

Compared to his previous domineering and overbearing demands, Zhou Mochen's current approach is simply a different method.

A gentler, more submissive approach.

But ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: she can't like anyone else.

Just like he said before, you can do whatever you want with other people, make a fuss or act out, but you can only do it to him.

Xu Su's stubbornness was giving Zhou Mochen a real headache. He couldn't understand why this girl could always interpret his words with such malice.

"What I mean is, please be nicer to me, Xu Su. I just like you. I'm not your enemy and I won't hurt you. Don't be all prickly towards me."

Zhou Mochen rubbed his temples, utterly helpless: "You clearly know I can't bear to do anything to you, you know how much I like you, so why do you always treat me like an enemy?"

Zhou Mochen wasn't stupid; he saw it clearly. This girl's attitude towards him had always been wary, cautious, spoiled, and willful, and she would make sarcastic remarks from time to time. He had been trying to warm his heart for so long, but she was still full of thorns when she was with him.

Zhou Mochen was upset, but Xu Su was just as upset.

Xu Su pondered his words carefully... "Are you reluctant to part with it?"

Since that's the case, Xu Su smiled and simply confessed: "Why?...Because I don't like you, so your feelings for me are bothering me, but I don't dare to reject you. I'm afraid I can't afford to offend you. Is that explanation enough?"

"Zhou Mochen, I really don't like you. No matter how good you are to me, I only feel it as a burden and pressure. I know you are very outstanding and good-looking, but I really don't like you. Seeing you makes me feel uncomfortable."

"I don't want to eat with you, I don't want to see you, I don't want to ride in your car, I don't want your phone, I don't want to be bothered by you, Zhou Mochen, these are my true feelings, the very truth of my heart."

Xu Su's lowered eyes caught Zhou Mochen's hand clenching tightly the moment he heard her words, his knuckles turning white from the force.

...After a pause, I belatedly realized I was a little scared.

But having said all that, Xu Su steeled herself and continued, "It's not your fault I don't like you. Maybe we had a grudge in a past life. I just can't bring myself to like you. Zhou Mochen, if you really like me, then don't bother me anymore."

Xu Su spoke at length, and Zhou Mochen listened quietly without interrupting until she stopped.

Silence...dead silence...

The car remained quiet for a long time.

He then spoke softly, "Are you done? If you have anything else to say, say it all at once."

A calm tinged with the impending storm...

Xu Su remained silent... It felt good to say what was on her mind, but after calming down, she began to regret being so direct.

Zhou Mochen leaned over and lifted the girl's chin. Their eyes met, and he smiled, but not into his eyes, so he simply suppressed his smile.

"Nothing to say? Then it's my turn." He spoke slowly, expressionless, enunciating each word carefully: "You can't like me? You feel uncomfortable seeing me? Were we enemies in a past life? I won't bother you anymore?"

Zhou Mochen's face grew colder and colder with each word. His fingertips slowly tightened their grip. The two stared at each other for a long time before he finally chuckled and said, "I've heard that girls love to say one thing but mean another. Why don't I test whether what you're saying is true?"

Try?

Xu Su frowned and looked at him...

The next second, his face suddenly loomed closer, and Zhou Mochen pressed his lips against his.

This is Xu Su's first kiss in his life... If nothing unexpected happens, this is also the first time he has ever kissed a girl.

Xu Su's mind went blank for a moment, her eyes widened, and she began to struggle with all her might.

As soon as he loosened his grip slightly, Xu Su reflexively swung his hand forcefully.

Snapped! A sound.

The man's face turned to the side as the force was applied, and a clear handprint appeared on his face.

Zhou Mochen has fair skin, so even a small red mark is very noticeable.

He turned his face to the side, clenched his teeth, and remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Xu Su shoved him away, trembling with anger: "Zhou Mochen! If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't come here to have your illness treated, don't you understand?"

She haphazardly wiped her lips with her sleeve, her whole demeanor somewhat out of control. "Who's being hypocritical? Who do you think you are? Saying you don't like me is hypocritical? Narcissism is a disease too. When you're treating your brain, treat this too."

After saying that, Xu Su opened the car door and prepared to get out, but Zhou Mochen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

The finger marks on his face were still quite visible, but his tone was calm: "It was my fault, don't be angry anymore, or I'll hit you again, okay?"

"But Xu Su, what you said is too infuriating. I get angry too, and I can't help but get angry."

She said maybe we had a grudge in a past life, that's why she can't bring herself to like you when she sees you...

She said she feels uncomfortable seeing you, and that you shouldn't bother her anymore.

She said she doesn't want to eat with you, doesn't want to see you, doesn't want to ride in your car, doesn't want your phone, and doesn't want to be bothered by you.

When he heard her say those words, Zhou Mochen thought he was going to die from the pain.

He just fell in love with someone, why does it have to hurt so much?

Should his affection be used as a weapon to hurt him by the girl he loves?

Xu Su shook off his hand and sneered, "Is it infuriating? But what can I do if it's the truth? Zhou Mochen, I don't want to see you. If you understand, then don't ever appear in front of me again."

Zhou Mochen looked at her, his face darkening uncontrollably. He slowly said, "But I always feel that you don't hate me as much as you say. Xu Su, do you really hate me?"

"If I slap you a few more times, will that prove I hate you?" Xu Su laughed angrily, reaching out to slap his face again, but was stopped halfway.

Young Master Zhou has no masochistic tendencies and doesn't have a habit of liking to be slapped in the face.

He grabbed the girl's hand and actually laughed: "This isn't how you hate someone, Xu Su. If I hate someone, I'll make sure they never have to appear in front of me again. I'll suppress them, trample them into the mud, and make sure they can never rise again."

"But Xu Su, you don't treat me like that. Ask yourself, would you wish I were dead? Even when I just forcibly kissed you, in your angrier moments, did you ever think of me dying?"
