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

Huang Chao readily agreed: "I just heard Fengfeng say that your family lives in the old industrial area. Do your parents work in a factory there?"

Xu Su nodded, knowing she could find out more easily, and said frankly, "Yes."

“It’s just a coincidence. Our CEO Zhou is going to the old industrial area to take care of some business. Fengfeng and I will go home first, and then CEO Zhou can give you a ride home on his way.” Huang Chao’s voice was filled with surprise, as if he had just found out.

Once Huang Feng and his sister get off the bus, won't it just be me and Zhou Mochen left?

Xu Su was feeling a bit drowsy when she got on the bus, but she perked up when she heard this and said, "Isn't this too much trouble? Otherwise, I'll take the bus. There's a bus that goes straight to my house at the next stop."

Huang Feng was also a little puzzled: "Brother, let's take Su Su home first. It's okay if we're a little late."

This was the first time Huang Chao had ever done something like giving his boss some personal space. He took a few seconds to process it and then explained it to his sister.

“President Zhou needs the car again tonight. He has important business in the old industrial area and doesn’t know when he’ll be done. There are few taxis there, and if we go with him, we won’t be able to get a taxi back. He can’t possibly give us another ride, can he?”

Zhou Mochen hadn't spoken until now, when he finally said, "It's on my way, no trouble at all."

His eyes glanced at Xu Su through the rearview mirror inside the car, clearly indicating that he was speaking to her.

...She was just being polite, but this person took it seriously.

What does he mean?

Seeing the silence in the car, Huang Chao tried to liven things up by asking, "By the way, is your military training tiring? Back when I was in military training, several of my classmates suffered from heatstroke, and it even rained. At that time, many of us got along well with the instructors, and they couldn't bear to make things too difficult for us."

Xu Su was feeling unwell and didn't have the energy to talk; she squinted her eyes and was drowsy.

Huang Feng wouldn't let her brother feel awkward. "Several of our classmates suffered from heatstroke on the first day of military training. Maybe the school didn't want to over-train the freshmen and affect their health. Anyway, the training intensity was much lower on the second day, not much stronger than when we had PE class in junior high school."

Finally, she rubbed her arms, which weren't covered by her short-sleeved shirt, and said indignantly, "I've gotten so much darker. I asked my mom to buy me sunscreen, but she wouldn't. She said students should look like students. Now look how dark I am. I don't know how long it will take to get my skin white again."

While driving, Huang Chao glanced at the girl in the back seat, his gaze lingering on Xu Su, who seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed. He chuckled, "You haven't wasted your time at all. Don't blame military training; I don't see any change in Xu Su. She's still the same..."

"Concentrate on driving."

Upon hearing the reminder from the passenger seat, Huang Chao's smile vanished instantly, and he replied seriously, "Yes!"

The brother and sister both fell silent, and the car, which had just been filled with laughter, fell into an eerie silence again...

Huang Feng had the option to commute to school, and her home was not far from the school. After a short while, the car came to a smooth stop, and the two siblings got out.

When the car was started again, only Zhou Mochen and Xu Su remained inside.

Zhou Mochen drove even slower than Huang Chao, glancing at the back seat every now and then.

Are you... feeling unwell?

Zhou Mochen glanced at the back seat for the third time and saw that Xu Su was still frowning, as if she was enduring discomfort. He finally couldn't help but ask.

Xu Su was in excruciating abdominal pain, but she managed to lift her eyelids. "I'm fine. When we get to the bus stop in front of Hongde Textile Factory in the old town, could you please call me? I'm going to take a nap."

In her past life, after she was with Zhou Mochen, he found out how severe her menstrual cramps were. He somehow found a prescription and forced her to take bitter medicine for a long time, which actually cured her menstrual cramps.

I haven't felt this kind of pain for over a decade, and to suddenly experience it all at once is truly unbearable.

Zhou Mochen pursed his lips, gripped the steering wheel, pulled over, and got out of the car.

Xu Su felt the car door on her side being opened, and hot air rushed in from outside. Just as she was about to open her eyes to see what was going on, a pair of dry hands touched her forehead.

The next second, Xu Su jumped up in surprise, pushed the hand off her forehead, and glared at the owner of the hand: "What are you doing?"

"You don't have a fever. What's wrong with you?" Zhou Mochen stood outside the car door, looking at the frightened girl, his eyes flickering with emotion. "I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

He stood outside the car door, backlit, so Xu Su couldn't see his face clearly for a moment. Hearing his words, she hurriedly said, "I really don't feel unwell anywhere. I'm not going to the hospital."

Are you worried about medical expenses? I'll pay for them.

Xu Su laughed in anger. They had only met twice, and he already knew she couldn't afford the medical bills?

"If you want to go to the hospital, go by yourself. I want to go home. Move aside, I'm going to take the bus."

She tried to push him, but he stood there like a wooden stake, rooted to the spot. Xu Su was furious. "What? You're not letting me off the bus?"

"Are you really not feeling unwell?" Zhou Mochen's voice was a little strained.

The voice startled Xu Su. She knew Zhou Mochen too well. She quickly withdrew her hand that was pushing him and wiped it on her school pants: "Are you still going to the old industrial area? If not, let me off the bus."

Zhou Mochen stood there silently for a few seconds, making Xu Su feel uneasy, before closing the car door and getting back into the driver's seat.

After that fright, Xu Su dared not sleep anymore; she didn't even dare to look listless or sickly.

Who knows what this pervert might do?

As Zhou Mochen drove, he would occasionally glance back. In his early twenties, he had a lazy demeanor, his hands on the steering wheel, his movements casual. Gone was his intimidating aura; one could even see a hint of youthful energy in him.

Xu Su noticed the gaze from ahead and couldn't help but tease him, "Do you know how you can't ask others to concentrate on driving?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mochen tilted his head slightly, revealing his straight nose, and said with a hint of amusement, "Looks like you're really not sick."

Xu Su immediately shut up and looked out the window.

Zhou Mochen continued, seemingly in a good mood: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Mochen, I'm five years older than you, and I graduated from university this year."

Seeing that Xu Su didn't speak, Zhou Mochen asked, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Xu Su was speechless. This person was still the same. He was aloof and cold as the moon in public, but in front of her, he was shameless.

"There is no need for us to get to know each other. I am still a student and do not want to have any contact with people from outside society."

The title of 'socialite' made Zhou Mochen's face stiffen the whole way.

He rarely looked so grim, and then he stopped talking.

Xu Su was happy to have some peace and quiet. The scenery outside the car window looked more and more familiar. Soon she passed the alleyway where her house was located, and in a few seconds, she arrived at the bus stop in the industrial area.
