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

"Yeah, I don't need to worry about saving face in front of you." Zhou Mochen held the back of her neck, lifted her head, and kissed her.

This was the first time Xu Su had not resisted his kiss while she was awake.

Not only did they not physically resist, but they also showed not the slightest reluctance in their hearts.

She could sense that she might not actually dislike Zhou Mochen as much as she had previously imagined.

Inside the car, Xu Su sat on Zhou Mochen's lap, her arms around his neck, and he pressed her against the steering wheel and kissed her.

He shielded the girl's back with one hand and held the back of her neck with the other. The girl was very well-behaved, more so than ever before. As Zhou Mochen kissed her, he became a little carried away.

Xu Su was still straddling him, so close that some of his reactions couldn't be hidden, and she could even hear him swallowing.

Her breath was completely stolen away, and Xu Su felt like she was about to faint from the kiss. She suddenly turned her head and began to gasp for air.

Before she could catch her breath, his face came close again. Xu Su pressed against Zhou Mochen's chest and quickly shook her head.

"Don't kiss me anymore, Zhou Mochen, let me go back."

Zhou Mochen was very obedient and didn't kiss her again. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Xu Su's, coaxing her softly, "Come back to Chang City with me."

His remaining rationality was still focused on the fact that Kang County was too small and didn't even have a decent hotel.

Xu Su instantly understood his meaning, her eyelashes fluttering, "...No."

"Why not... Xu Su, if you keep torturing me like this, I'll be crippled." He clicked his tongue lightly, moving the hand that was holding the girl's nape to her face and gently stroking it, his voice tinged with grievance, "If you're crippled, will you still want me...?"

"..." This man's words were too lewd. Xu Su turned her head to avoid his lips, grabbed his neck and made him move away. "No means no, Zhou Mochen, I'm still young."

“You’re not young anymore.” He chuckled knowingly, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “You’re not young anywhere.”

Summer clothes are so thin, and they were hugging each other so tightly...

Xu Su glared at him, "If you keep acting like a hooligan, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the man in front of her staring intently at her...collarbone?

"what is this?"

Xu Su's top had a rather large neckline, and it was now crookedly revealing half of her collarbone, with two faint marks on it.

Zhou Mochen reached out and gently stroked her collarbone with his fingers. The smile on his face had completely disappeared. He stared at it expressionlessly for a while, then asked again, "What is this?"

Having been a ghost for so long, Xu Su's memories were somewhat confused. It took her a long time to finally recall that before going to sleep tonight, Xi Zirong seemed to have kissed...this place?

Her skin is very delicate; even a little pressure leaves a mark... so...

Xu Su felt a chill run down her spine.

"Why are you shaking? This isn't a mosquito bite..." he said softly, looking up at her with a storm brewing in his eyes.

Lack of practical experience doesn't mean lack of common sense, but Zhou Mochen was still somewhat incredulous. "Xu Su, don't tell me which man left this."

"No, no." Xu Su quickly denied it. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reason, so she simply gave up. "I don't know what it is. Maybe I accidentally scratched it a couple of times during the day. I'm prone to bruising, and I get red marks from any bumps or knocks."

As she spoke, to make her point more convincing, she pointed to two light bruises on her calves.

Her legs were slender and straight, as white as jade, and the bruises from bumps and falls were very noticeable on them.

Zhou Mochen immediately believed him, and his expression visibly softened. He looked at the girl's calf with some concern, "Where did you bump it? Be careful when you walk next time."

Such unconditional trust left Xu Su speechless for a moment.

A sudden wave of guilt washed over me; he was such a smart person...

.....

After all that commotion, Xu Su, whose memories of both lifetimes were almost completely jumbled, finally felt a sense of groundedness again.

Her experiences as a ghost were so long and so real that she once thought she was really dead.

So she came back to life and returned to this world, but Xu Su still thought it was all a dream.

Now that reason is gradually returning to Xu Su, she can't help but think about what she just did...

She thought of Xi Zirong... and realized that she had secretly found a boyfriend behind Zhou Mochen's back, and they had been dating for almost a year.

She was even hugged and kissed by Xi Zirong many, many times... If Zhou Mochen knew all this...

Previously, Xu Su never cared about Zhou Mochen's feelings. Even if Zhou Mochen found out that she had fallen in love with someone else, she was only afraid of his ruthless methods. She never thought about how much pain he would suffer.

But now... Xu Su belatedly realized with a tremor... what would happen if Zhou Mochen found out...?

In her past life, she was simply hugged by a male classmate, and that guy was so crazy that he had no sense of propriety whatsoever.

What would he do if he knew she had truly fallen for another man and was still letting that man hold and kiss her?

Xu Su clutched her head, her face deathly pale with pain... How did it come to this?

And what about Xi Zirong...?

"What's wrong? Headache?" Zhou Mochen's voice was a little anxious. He reached out and touched the girl's temples, slowly rubbing them. "Why does your head hurt all of a sudden?"

His strength was just right, and Xu Su let him press for a while before shaking off his hand, saying, "Let me go back."

"Going back" naturally refers to returning to her own passenger seat.

Zhou Mochen stared at her for a while, and then actually let go.

Xu Su was a little incredulous for a moment, feeling that his easygoing manner was unlike him.

It was easy to get there, but when I went back, Zhou Mochen had to carry me by the waist.

"..." Xu Su smiled awkwardly. She picked up her phone and saw that after all this time, it was already past 2 a.m. "Go to Kang County and get something to eat. I have to go home."

Zhou Mochen said helplessly, "You heartless little thing, I rushed here to see you without even having dinner, and you've caused me all this trouble, and this is how you're going to get rid of me?"

Xu Su didn't speak, she just stared at him.

Zhou Mochen's heart softened at the glare. He took the girl's hand and coaxed her, "Tell your brother why you're crying. Don't be afraid, just tell me, and I'll take care of everything for you."

...elder brother..

Xu Su's lips twitched. "You're not my brother..."

"Who said that?" He squeezed the girl's hand, his eyes full of doting affection. "My sweetheart is still my brother."

"Sweetie, tell your brother, who bullied you?"

Xu Su couldn't stand Zhou Mochen like this anymore, so after she gave a response, she thought, "Is this really how he is?"

Give it a little color, and it can create a rainbow.

She gave a half-truth, saying, "No one bullied me. I was crying because I had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?"

"I don't remember. I don't remember anything after I woke up from the dream."

"Hmm." Zhou Mochen nodded slowly, no longer dwelling on the question. He lowered his head to look at her. "Tell me, why did your attitude towards me change so drastically tonight?"
