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

Qian Jia was speechless. "Su Su, aren't you being a bit extreme as an older sister? Either you can't date anyone, or you can change boyfriends every month..."

Changing boyfriends every month? That's incredible... and she still has no complaints...

"You've revealed your plans, haven't you?" Huang Feng gave her a knowing look and said with a wicked grin, "If I had your face, I'd change boyfriends every week and give every handsome guy a home."

Chen Ni blushed as well, "Sister Su, I'll really get angry if you say that again."

Xu Su couldn't bother comforting her sister anymore. She pointed at Huang Feng, her finger trembling, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

She tried to explain, "I just said it casually, like my Chinese teacher, who always said that you can only date if you get into a good university, right?"

Someone's gaze seemed to pierce through her, and Xu Su glared angrily at Huang Feng, wondering what he meant by revealing her plans.

What a terrible best friend!

Xi Zirong was listening right there. How dare this silly Fengfeng tease her like that!

Did she think her life was too mundane...?

He already lacked a sense of security, and Xu Su could roughly guess what Xi Zirong was thinking at that moment...

Sure enough, after lunch, Grandma Xu went back to her room to take a nap. Afraid of disturbing the old lady's rest, the rest of them gathered at Uncle Xu's house to study, with a sweet and refreshing watermelon placed next to them.

Xu Su had only gone back to get a book when Xi Zirong cornered her in the room.

"Are you still angry about last night?" The boy was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't dare hug her. He just lowered his head and asked softly, "Don't be angry anymore. I promise I won't do that again, okay?"

Grandma was sleeping in the inner room, and Xu Su didn't want the two of them to be alone.

She frowned. "This isn't the place to talk. Please move aside."

I kept the volume very low, afraid that the elderly would hear me.

Xi Zirong paused, then took her hand. "You've been ignoring me today, and I'm feeling a little uneasy. Can I have a hug?"

Xu Su was slightly stunned, only to find that this person was really sensitive.

Although there was a reason to avoid suspicion, she was indeed more careful about the distance between them today than she was yesterday.

Therefore, even the slightest change in her was enough for Xi Zirong to sense and cause her to panic like this.

While she was still in a daze, he pulled her into his arms.

Xi Zirong took a deep breath, and felt her previously uneasy heart calm down.

He gently patted the top of the girl's head. "Changing boyfriends every month, Su Su, you don't really plan to do that, do you?"

"..." Knowing he would take Huang Feng's words seriously, Xu Su explained helplessly, "We've been together for almost a year. If I really had that kind of plan, I would have had so many boyfriends by now."

This explanation doesn't seem very good, because the hand around her waist suddenly tightened, almost pulling her into her body.

“Don’t say things that make people feel bad,” he emphasized. “Even jokes are not allowed.”

Xu Su closed her eyes, feeling a little helpless. "Don't listen to Huang Feng's nonsense. You're acting like you're seeing threats everywhere. We've been together for so long, don't you know if I've ever given any attention to any other guy besides you?"

She was practically immune to the opposite sex. Knowing that her boyfriend was extremely jealous, Xu Su always paid attention to her boundaries and never gave other male classmates a second glance. Even with Zhou Mochen, she tried her best to keep her distance throughout the year.

If it weren't for the influence of her past experiences as a ghost, Xu Su would still be avoiding Zhou Mochen to this day.

Plans sometimes go awry, let alone intentions.

She previously thought Zhou Mochen was utterly detestable; how wicked he was, using coercion to trap her, trying to tame her, make her obedient, and even attempting to win her heart...

But now she feels that he doesn't deserve to be so guilty. In both his past and present lives, he has always been very good to her. When he gets angry, he only speaks harshly. Several times he was so angry with her that he cried, but he still couldn't bear to lay a hand on her.

Xu Su had long known that Zhou Mochen was nothing more than a paper tiger, all bark and no bite, in front of her.

But she was unwilling to let go of their beginnings until she went back and saw him in that terrible state. For the first time, Xu Su felt so distressed for a man.

Xu Su discovered that she couldn't actually remain indifferent to Zhou Mochen's life or death as she thought she could be; in fact, she even felt a bit of empathy for him.

Whether it's pity, being moved, or perhaps for some reason she's unwilling to admit right now... Xu Su genuinely wants to treat Zhou Mochen better, much better.

Zhou Mochen was all I could think about until Xi Zirong's enlarged features appeared before my eyes.

Xu Su abruptly turned her head, avoiding his kiss.

Xi Zirong's eyes darkened, and his lips touched her cheek. "What are you thinking about? Su Su, why do you always seem to drift off in my arms?"

Xu Su was speechless.

Being nicer to Zhou Mochen requires breaking up with Xi Zirong, so...

Xu Su looked up at the boy in front of her. He was looking at her calmly. When he saw her looking over, he bent down to kiss her again.

Afraid that she would dodge again, Xi Zirong reached out and pinched Xu Su's chin, forcing her to open her lips slightly, and then lowered her head to cover the place she had been longing for.

In the room where the girl grew up, he pinned her against the door and kissed her. The boy's kissing skills had improved, and he kissed her gently and earnestly. Xu Su felt her lips go numb from being sucked.

She didn't dare struggle too hard, worried about waking her grandmother, and she didn't even dare to sob. She could only tilt her head back and endure the kiss, tears welling up in her eyes.

Afraid that her neck would get sore, the young man reached out and habitually massaged the back of her neck while kissing her passionately. When it was over, Xu Su's legs were a little weak and she could hardly stand. He held her waist and leaned her against the door.

The boy was very strong, his eyes filled with affection. He moved his lips to the corner of her eye and kissed away the tears that had soaked her eyelashes.

He was both gentle and assertive; how could someone be so contradictory? It was the first time Xu Su's body went limp from his kiss, and the first time she clearly realized that Xi Zirong had truly changed.

This is no longer the boy who blushes easily and whose ears turn red; he is clearly a seemingly elegant and content cheetah that is actually ready to leap up and devour people at any moment.

"Are you alright?" Xi Zirong's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of a smile. "You seem a little unsteady on your feet."

"..." Xu Su finally couldn't help but blush.

Who taught him this?!

The girl's shy and angry expression was so beautiful that Xi Zirong looked at her with her eyelids slightly lowered, her jaw clenched, and her expression restrained and patient.

Xu Su turned her head to avoid his gaze and pushed away the hand around her waist. "Can you let go now? I've been here for too long."

Her voice was unusually cold, completely unlike their intimate moments just moments before, and devoid of any emotion.

Xi Zirong looked down at her for a while, and when she spoke again, her voice was tinged with grievance, "Su Su, don't be so cold to me, it makes me sad."

"...This isn't the place for a proper chat, Xi Zirong. We've really been gone for too long. They'll find out." Xu Su was getting a little annoyed, her whole body becoming uncontrollably irritable. She just felt that this person was so annoying.

Still so annoying, completely oblivious to the occasion!

He's stingy and sensitive, completely unlike the gentle and polite boy he once was.

No matter what she does, she's always anxious and insecure, and her clinginess annoys her...
