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

She prided herself on having a decent alcohol tolerance, but after all, she hadn't really touched alcohol much at her age, unlike Xu Su from her previous life who could drink all kinds of alcohol to an enormous degree.

When she spoke again, her speech was a little slurred: "Zhou Mochen, I have to go back. My classmate is still waiting for me."

Zhou Mochen nodded slowly, appearing very easy to talk to: "Which private room are you in? I'll go and let them know. You just stay here, and I'll take you home when you sober up."

How could he possibly let Xu Su, who was so drunk, leave his sight, even if she was with her classmates?

Xu Su blinked twice, slowly processing the meaning behind his words, then shook her head violently: "No, no, Zhou Mochen, you can't see my classmate."

Zhou Mochen laughed angrily: "What? Am I embarrassing you?"

Having drunk too much, Xu Su lacked her usual excellent communication skills. Her eyes were red with anxiety as she stammered, "Anyway, you're not allowed to see my classmate."

She was so anxious, flustered and aggrieved, unlike her usual sarcastic words. Instead, she pleaded with him in a coquettish tone, and even grabbed Zhou Mochen's arm because of her anxiety.

The two were very close, and Zhou Mochen finally couldn't hold back. His lips touched the girl's brow with restraint, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I won't see your classmate, but you can't leave my side. Call your 'dear Fengfeng' and tell her you're not going back."

The words "Dear Fengfeng" carried a different meaning when Zhou Mochen uttered them, and there was a hint of anger in them.

Holding her phone, Xu Su used her remaining clarity to weigh the situation and finally decided that she really couldn't go back. Judging from Zhou Mochen's appearance, he would definitely not let her leave. If she insisted on going back to the private room that Xi Zirong had booked, Zhou Mochen might go with her.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Su nodded: "You go out, I'll call Fengfeng and tell her."

Zhou Mochen raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything I can't hear about your phone call with Huang Feng? Su Su, in this state, I'm really afraid you'll fall inside if I go out."

Xu Su was barely able to stand up because he was supporting her. Hearing Zhou Mochen's words, she leaned on the sink with one hand and pointed to the door with the other, "Go out first, give me some space to call."

Zhou Mochen glanced at Xu Suxin's phone with a somewhat ambiguous expression, and finally kissed the top of her head before obediently leaving.

Xu Su quickly locked the door and dialed Huang Feng's number.

Huang Feng across the street was getting anxious. Xu Su went to the restroom and was gone for almost half an hour. After Xi Zirong made several phone calls and no one answered, she started searching for Xu Su in all the private rooms.

After briefly explaining to Huang Feng that she was going home, Xu Su quickly hung up the phone and called Xi Zirong.

I'm afraid he might actually come to Zhou Mochen's private room later...

After two rings, the call was answered, and Xi Zirong's urgent voice came through: "Susu, where are you? Are you lost? Or did you fall in the bathroom?"

He sounded really anxious. Xu Su's brain, which had been eroded by alcohol, cleared up considerably at this moment. She tried her best to control her voice and not sound drunk.

"I had some urgent business at home, so I had to go back first. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to come back to the private room to tell you. It was my fault for making you worry."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Xi Zirong asked, "Are you home? Su Su, are you in the car now?"

Xu Su looked at herself in the mirror by the sink and slowly said, "Yes, that's all. I'm a little carsick. See you at school tomorrow."

The girl in the mirror was wearing a light pink puffer jacket, zipped up to the top, with her long hair loose, and she looked very simple and clean.

Her cheeks were a little red, and she looked great. Xu Su stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, slowly thinking about what she was doing.

What is she doing right now?

Xi Zirong was frantically searching for her all over the world, while she was being held back by Zhou Mochen and couldn't go back.

She even had to lie to him and say he went home...

Before Xu Su could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Mochen's voice came through: "Xu Su, are you alright?"

They were clearly afraid that this drunkard would fall inside and lose consciousness.

Xu Su responded and then picked up her phone to delete text messages and call logs with Xi Zirong.

When Zhou Mochen took her phone to check the calls, he almost woke Xu Sujiu up in fright.

Fortunately, the caller was Huang Feng; if it had been Xi Zirong...

When Xu Su finished deleting the text messages and opened the door, Zhou Mochen was so worried that he almost couldn't help but bang on the door.

He was genuinely worried that the little girl might fall inside.

When Xu Su came out, Zhou Mochen first looked her up and down to make sure she was alright before taking her hand and leading her to sit on the sofa in the private room.

Their private room had been eerily quiet ever since Zhou Mochen brought a young girl back. Originally, the dim lighting had been accompanied by singing, and there were also a few scantily clad hostesses inside trying to liven things up, such as hugging each other and giving each other kisses.

After Xu Su entered the restroom, these 'staff members' were kicked out by their 'customers' at Zhou Mochen's signal.

The lights in the private room were now on, and among the dozen or so people, Xu Su spotted an old acquaintance from her past life at a glance.

She was in a semi-drunk state, vaguely recalling that when she came in, she saw Shen Chen kissing a scantily clad woman.

I couldn't help but habitually show a hint of disdain.

Shen Chen had also been secretly observing the people Zhou Mochen brought in. He had known Zhou Mochen for so many years, and when had he ever seen Zhou Mochen stand guard at the bathroom door for anyone?

Just then, I saw the girl's disgusted look.

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, aren't you going to introduce this young lady?"

Zhou Mochen led Xu Su to sit down, handed her a glass of water, and then briefly introduced her to the person who had been holding his breath waiting for him to speak: "Her name is Xu Su."

They didn't say what the relationship was, nor who these people were; they just introduced them by name.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room, which had been as quiet as a chicken's nest, eased. The others began to flatter her, saying things like, "Miss Xu is very beautiful."

They could see that Zhou Mochen treated Xu Su differently, so they naturally didn't hold back their praise.

These people were probably all local businessmen from N City, and they were extremely polite to Zhou Mochen, perhaps because they needed his help.

Shen Chen was different; he flew from Beijing to Changshi today with Zhou Mochen and came here to have some fun for a few days since he had nothing else to do.

Xu Su frowned as she listened to these awkward compliments, while Zhou Mochen waved his hand, saying, "You guys do your thing."

Shen Chen leaned closer and smiled at Xu Su, who was standing next to Zhou Mochen: "Hello, my name is Shen Chen. You must be Zhou's sweetheart?"

My beloved...

Xu Su held the water glass and took a sip. Hmm... it was warm.

Then she nodded proudly and said with certainty, "If the Brother Zhou you're talking about is Zhou Mochen, then it should be me."
