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

"I'll listen to you. Send it back to where it belongs." Shen Chen usually had a carefree attitude and always had a smile on his face, but this time he was expressionless.

He pointed to the watch box in his hand and said, "I thought you might not have a good impression of me since it was our first meeting, so I wanted to give you a gift to ease the tension. But I didn't expect you to really dislike me."

When talking about their first meeting, Shen Chen looked a little awkward. He hadn't expected that Zhou Mochen would suddenly bring back a young girl after they had just gone out.

As a result, he had a shock to her young heart. He originally thought of giving Xu Su a gift so that she wouldn't be so confrontational with him next time. After all, judging from Zhou Mochen's appearance, he definitely wouldn't be willing to let go of her anytime soon.

Unexpectedly, the other person genuinely disliked him, and Shen Chen also became a bit angry.

Seeing his expression, Xu Su began to wonder if she had gone too far.

After all, he traveled a long way to deliver the gift, and I'm just directing him to the trash can...

Xu Su pouted, suppressing her temper, and explained in a gentle tone, "I'm a student, your gift is too expensive, I can't take it out. Shen Chen, you can give this watch to your girlfriend, don't waste it."

Xu Su didn't feel sorry for him. The main problem was that if Shen Chen really lost a six-figure new watch at the school gate, wouldn't she, a student who had met him, become famous throughout the school?

Shen Chen thought for a moment and reluctantly accepted her reason. He said, "Then I'll get you a more understated watch tonight. I'll call you when you finish your evening self-study session so you can come out and pick it up."

“…?” Xu Su didn’t expect this person to be so persistent about giving her a watch. She raised her wrist and pulled up the elastic cuffs of her school uniform jacket to reveal the watch face that Xu Zirong had given her. “Look, I already have a watch. You really don’t need to buy another one.”

Unexpectedly, this person's thought process seemed a bit abnormal as well. He glanced at the style of the watch on Xu Su's wrist and nodded: "You like this kind, right? Okay, I'll pick out a good one for you. You can never have too many watches. You can wear a different one every day."

Xu Su: "......"

If she didn't know Shen Chen's true character completely, she would have suspected that he liked her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Chen waved his hand, his tone very natural, as if he were very familiar with Xu Su: "Go inside, I'll call you tonight to come out and get it, I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow."

As Xu Su walked towards the classroom, she felt increasingly that this was absurd. It wasn't absurd that Shen Chen was giving her a gift, but his patient insistence on giving it to her was quite absurd.

Based on her understanding of this man, she knew he might not even have this kind of patience with a newly acquired girlfriend.

After thinking it over, Xu Su took out her phone and dialed Zhou Mochen's number. No matter what, she didn't want to have any ambiguous entanglement with Shen Chen.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Mochen was in a serious meeting with a group of people. His first reaction to Xu Su's call was surprise, but his eyes immediately softened.

He then waved his hand, signaling the meeting to pause, picked up his phone, took a few steps out of the meeting room, and answered the call.

"Su Su." Zhou Mochen's voice sounded particularly pleasant on the phone. He seemed a little surprised: "Why did you think of calling me? Did something happen?"

Since returning to school on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Su has not left the school, and they have not seen each other for more than two months.

With evening self-study about to start, Xu Su was in a hurry and asked him without much hesitation, "Shen Chen came to my school gate just now, wearing a watch, saying it was a birthday present for me. Did you know about this?"

Zhou Mochen on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "You really have become more sensible after the New Year, and you know to consider my feelings."

Zhou Mochen's voice was incredibly gentle: "Just accept whatever Shen Chen gives you. I know about it; he told me about it."

He couldn't help but praise her again: "Susu, you did a great job. Keep doing this in the future. No matter who gives you a gift, always let me know first."

It took Xu Su a long time to realize what he meant. Look how much he misunderstood him!

He thought he was afraid that the other man would misunderstand, so he called to let him know.

Xu Su quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't tell you. I just thought it was strange that he suddenly gave me a gift."

“Not surprising,” Zhou Mochen said with a smile. His voice was so gentle that Huang Chao, who was not far away, couldn’t help but glance at him. He said, “You are my person, so it’s not surprising that others are very attentive to you.”

"..." This is taking advantage of the fact that she doesn't know Shen Chen's identity yet. Shen Chen is, after all, the heir of the Shen family. He doesn't need to fawn over her at all.

If she married Zhou Mochen and became Mrs. Zhou, that would be a different story. But this is nothing compared to what's to come. Why would a dignified young master like Shen have to fawn over her?

Unless Shen Chen can be certain that she is the future Mrs. Zhou.

Xu Su felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, and finally understood Shen Chen's series of actions.

She felt slightly relieved, as long as Shen Chen didn't have any other thoughts about her.

Don't think Xu Su is narcissistic. Just look at how persistent Shen Chen was in giving her gifts. She was genuinely afraid that this playboy might have feelings for her.

She can't even shake off Zhou Mochen now, and Shen Chen and the like are completely irrelevant to Xu Su.

After figuring it out, Xu Su didn't bother chatting with Zhou Mochen anymore and hung up the phone directly.

She walked quickly back to the classroom; evening self-study was about to begin.

Since the beginning of last semester, changing seats during evening self-study has become the norm. Back in the classroom, Xu Su sat in Fu Jun's seat as usual.

As she pondered when Teacher Wu would rearrange the seating, feeling rather awkward being deskmates with Wu Qianqian, her hand on the desk was suddenly pulled.

Xu Su was just taking a walk with Xi Zirong on the playground to digest their food when she received a phone call and had to go out for a while. She didn't return until almost time for class.

Xi Zirong had obviously overheard her classmates talking about her meeting with Shen Chen at the school gate.

Shen Chen is a year younger than Zhou Mochen and has a handsome face. Coupled with his conspicuous car, it's not hard to imagine what his classmates would say.

However, Xi Zirong's expression was unreadable. He simply gripped Xu Su's hand and asked in a low voice, "Su Su, who was looking for you at the school gate?"

His voice was as gentle as ever, so soothing to the ears that Xu Su tilted her head to the side, unable to bear it any longer.

She didn't know how to explain Shen Chen's identity, and after a pause, she replied, "He's just an ordinary friend."

"Hmm," Xi Zirong responded, then pressed, "What did he want with you?"

"Hey." Xu Su couldn't help but sigh, "Xi Zirong, why do you have to ask so many questions? It's like you're interrogating a criminal."

Xu Su had long harbored resentment; she discovered that the boy's shy and obedient demeanor before they started dating was all an act.

The longer the relationship lasts, the more mats can hold.
