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

She was also at fault; she was always afraid to tell Zhou Mochen that she already had a boyfriend, which made Xi Zirong feel so insecure.

Xu Su felt a pang of heartache, but she was still angry about what had just happened. After taking a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks.

After confirming that the person who came was Xu Su, Xi Zirong stood up immediately. She had been squatting for a while, and she swayed a little when she suddenly stood up.

After regaining his balance, he walked over in a few steps, hugged Xu Su in his arms, and began to apologize in a flustered manner: "I'm sorry, Su Su, I'm so sorry, please don't be angry with me, okay? I'll never do it again."

Xu Su felt water droplets falling on her face. It took her half a second to react. She pushed the person away. The campus lights were not as bright as the streetlights outside, so she could not see clearly.

She reached out and touched his face, unsurprisingly finding it covered in tears.

Xu Su felt a tightness in her chest, her heart aching: "Why are you crying? After I left, you just squatted here crying by yourself? Xi Zirong, can't you be a little more dignified?"

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, and Xi Zirong lowered her head in perfect compliance.

Then, Xu Su saw his red eyes looking at her with a very aggrieved expression.

Xi Zirong gave her an extremely ugly smile: "You know, I've never been very capable in front of you."

"..." Xu Su took a deep breath to ease the dull pain in her heart, then released her arms from his neck, straightened up, and took a step back.

She asked softly, "Xi Zirong, is it very painful to be with me?"

The quiet, dark corner of the teaching building. At this time of day, most of the day students who should have gone home have already left, and no more students will pass by here. Xu Su's voice was very soft, but to Xi Zirong's ears, it was so soft that you could hear a pin drop.

He stood frozen for two seconds before finding his voice, "Su Su, I don't want to break up. Don't use this opportunity to break up with me."

Xu Su was a little out of sync with him, so she asked him a question: Why could this person immediately connect this to a breakup?

Although... she does have some interest in him.

Xu Su was seriously questioning whether her decision to agree to be with Xi Zirong had been too hasty.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Xi Zirong became even more flustered.

He reached out and pulled Xu Su into his arms, his voice urgent: "How can being with you be painful, Xu Su? I'm not in pain. I'll only be in pain if you break up with me. I did something wrong. You can hit me or scold me, but don't be so cruel to me. Don't mention breaking up."

Xi Zirong's hand trembled slightly as she stroked Xu Su's neck. "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now and scared you. I won't do it again, Su Su, please give me another chance?"

Few people could remain heartless upon hearing the boy's anxious and frightened voice, and Xu Su was no exception.

She hesitated briefly, but then gently wrapped her arms around Xi Zirong's waist and obediently let him hold her.

Xu Su buried her head in the boy's arms, smelling his unique clean scent. Her heart softened uncontrollably, and her hands tightened slightly. Unconsciously, she used her arms to measure his waist.

She patted Xi Zirong on the back and gently comforted her: "I didn't say I wanted to break up, Xi Zirong. I'm just afraid that you'll be wronged in our relationship."

“I have a bad temper, little patience, and I don’t like being constantly controlled by you. I don’t like having to report everything to you or explain things to you.”

Xu Su reflected on her actions, feeling increasingly inadequate as she spoke. She sighed, "Xi Zirong, I was also wrong tonight, but you really mustn't do that again next time."

He is Xi Zirong, that gentle and polite young man. Xu Su has a unique perspective on him.

“You have a very good temper, Su Su. You really have a very good temperament.” Xi Zirong rubbed her head. “It’s because I’m too anxious, too petty, and not confident enough. It’s my problem.”

"I'm not wronged at all, Su Su. I know you like me, it's just that I was too greedy."

After they got together, he became increasingly greedy, wanting her attention to be focused solely on him, wanting to gain more of her affection, and unwilling to let anyone else have much contact with her.

Xi Zirong herself was sometimes terrified by her ever-growing possessiveness.

They hugged in silence for a long time until a few day students who were going home late passed by intermittently. Only then did Xu Su gently push Xi Zirong away. The corner of the teaching building was indeed not a good place to talk.

The two walked side by side toward the dormitory. Along the way, Xu Su would occasionally glance at the boy next to her.

Xi Zirong walked silently, his whole demeanor quiet yet cautious. Several times he reached out to hold her hand, but hesitated to make a move.

"..." Xu Su reached out and shook hands, but the next second, Xi Zirong firmly grasped her hand in return.

When they reached the entrance of the girls' dormitory, Xi Zirong slowly released her hand, smiled at her, and said softly, "Go in."

Xu Su didn't let go. The lights downstairs in the dormitory were a bit brighter, and she could clearly see that the person's eyes were swollen. She didn't know how long the person had been crying.

She sighed again, "...If I just go in like this, I'm really afraid you'll cry your pillow tonight."

Xu Su looked around and then led him to the pavilion not far from the dormitory. They had been here before because of Wu Qianqian.

"Xi Zirong, lower your head a little." Standing behind the pillar, Xu Su called out to the boy who was standing ramrod straight.

Xi Zirong was taken aback, and obediently bent down and lowered her head.

He had only just moved a little closer when Xu Su reached out and hooked his neck, gently pressing his lips to his.

Despite being thirty, Xu Suxin's kissing skills are practically nonexistent, as she has always been the passive party in her relationship with Zhou Mochen.

Did she initiate a kiss on Zhou Mochen?

Never before!

Therefore, she could only use her experience of being kissed to slowly press herself against Xi Zirong.

After being stunned for less than a second, Xi Zirong came to his senses. His breathing quickened, and then he cupped Xu Su's face in his hands and began to eagerly return the kiss.

Neither of them had much experience, and they figured everything out on their own until they were both out of breath and had to separate.

Xi Zirong held the person in his arms and looked down at him with a gaze so intense it could melt anyone. Xu Su couldn't help but turn her face away, but in his arms, there was nowhere to hide.

Xu Su was somewhat embarrassed and angry at being stared at. "Xi Zirong, don't look at me like that."

“...Okay.” Xi Zirong good-naturedly withdrew his gaze, but his grip on the girl’s waist didn’t loosen. He asked, “Su Su, you really forgive me, right?”

The boy's voice was relaxed and cheerful, no longer showing the tension and panic he had shown before.

Xu Su said irritably, "You've become such a crybaby, who would have the heart to be angry with you? Xi Zirong, next time you're not allowed to hide away and cry by yourself."

Who wouldn't feel sorry for a boy with tears streaming down his face?

Besides, she was the one who started it all.

She hadn't felt it before, but now she finally felt a little embarrassed. Xi Zirong pressed her face against Xu Su's neck and said in a wronged tone, "You left so heartlessly just now, Su Su. I didn't want to cry either, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to go find you, but I was afraid of making you even angrier."
