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

Xu Su's crying suddenly stopped, a chill running through her heart. "Does having money mean you can disregard human life? Shen Chen, this is a society governed by law. Murder is a crime."

Shen Chen scoffed, "Want someone to die quietly? Isn't that easy? Xu Su, if you're really that naive, then why are you afraid of Brother Zhou finding out you've found a boyfriend behind his back?"

These words left Xu Su speechless. How could she not know how ruthless Zhou Mochen was?

Having followed Zhou Mochen for so long in my past life, I witnessed how many of his business rivals were driven to bankruptcy by him and even jumped off buildings.

Are all the methods used truly aboveboard?

Impossible... Zhou Mochen is not a person with a strong sense of morality at heart.

Seeing that she had finally stopped crying, Shen Chen's tone softened a bit. He took the steering wheel with one hand and drove off the highway, while handing her a tissue with the other. "Wipe your tears. What girl is like you, crying like this even though you've put on makeup?"

Xu Su opened the rearview mirror. The girl in the mirror had swollen eyes from crying. Her cheap mascara and eyeliner were washed away bit by bit by her tears, which flowed down her face, forming a dark gray tear trough.

It really looks like a ghost...

Her nose was red from crying, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Xu Su didn't take his tissues. Instead, she took two more and wiped her face haphazardly before pulling out two clean tissues to vigorously wipe her lips.

Shen Chen wasn't angry at her actions. He glanced at her with a half-smile, "What, you can't accept me kissing you? Are you uncomfortable with my kiss?"

Xu Su absolutely hated his behavior. The thought of him kissing her in front of Xi Zirong, claiming it was to help her break up with her boyfriend, made Xu Su feel incredibly resentful.

"Who gave you the confidence to think I'm comfortable? Shen Chen, do you know how disgusting I am?"

Xu Su had regained her composure by now, and deliberately mimicked his half-smile, mocking, "Who knows what kind of rubbish your lips have kissed?"

Those words were so cruel, it was like stabbing Shen Chen in the heart with an ice knife. His face changed drastically, almost contorting in pain for a moment.

The screech of brakes rang out, and Xu Su felt her body lurch forward before being pulled back by the seatbelt. Then everything went black as Shen Chen dragged her away.

"You know quite a lot, Xu Su. Tell me, what do you think of me? What kind of sluts have I kissed?"

Shen Chen grabbed Xu Su by the back of her neck, forcing her to face him directly.

The man's jaw was clenched so tightly that he was practically grinding his back teeth as he spoke, "Explain yourself clearly."

Their noses were less than a centimeter apart, their breaths mingling, their eyes meeting.

Shen Chen intentionally controlled his strength and didn't hit hard, but his movements were too hasty and still aggravated Xu Su's wound. She was unwilling to show weakness and suppressed the pain that was about to spill out.

Her red, swollen eyes stared intently at him.

The girl's tear-streaked face was truly pitiful, and Shen Chen felt his anger rapidly dissipate.

Why take a little girl so seriously? He loosened his grip, his tone softening considerably. "Did I aggravate your wound?"

Xu Su turned her head away from him, "I don't care if you kissed me just to 'help me break up' or for some other reason, Shen Chen, let me tell you clearly, I don't like it, and I don't want it to happen a second time."

The car remained silent for several minutes, and Shen Chen did not utter a word.

He stared intently at the wary girl beside him, then suddenly laughed. "What other reason do you think there could be? Xu, a kiss means nothing to me. You're the one who asked me to teach you how to break up, have you forgotten?"

"Put your mind at ease, I'm not interested in you." Shen Chen restarted the car and said slowly, "What kind of woman can't I have? Why would I need to think about the one my brother likes? Xu Su, don't be so confident in yourself."

His words were so sarcastic, but Xu Su wasn't angry at all.

Instead, her heart, which had been pounding since he hugged her in the hotel, slowly began to relax.

Yes, who is Shen Chen? Why would he be interested in me? In my past life, he was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women, one after another, like a revolving lantern.

After years of wandering, he probably couldn't wander anymore, so he devoted himself to his career. It's rare to see any women with him at gatherings.

Xu Su was never blindly confident, but Shen Chen's actions today were quite abnormal, making her wonder if he had other intentions.

Hearing his words, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, Xu Su really didn't want any emotional entanglement with Shen Chen.

As for that kiss... just consider it as being bitten by a dog.

She was relieved. Shen Chen glanced at her relieved expression, and the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.

Unwilling to be wrongly accused, Shen Chen spoke again, "Don't make malicious assumptions about me. I haven't kissed any random things."

His tone was somewhat sarcastic, "You know quite a lot at such a young age."

"..." He emphasized this repeatedly, which showed that he really cared about it, and Xu Su felt a little embarrassed.

She only meant to tease him casually, but it turned out like she stepped on a landmine.

I caught a glimpse of the bruises on his arm out of the corner of my eye; they were from fighting for her...

Xu Su felt a rare pang of guilt and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, I know, I know."

The dismissive tone made Shen Chen laugh in anger. He was about to say something when his phone vibrated in the car.

It was Xu Su's phone. She had casually put it down after getting on the bus, and now it was somewhere hidden. Hearing the vibration, she started searching for it.

As Shen Chen drove, he glanced at her searching around and looked somewhat helpless. He pointed to a gap on her right and said, "Take a look, it should be over there."

He was as sarcastic as ever, "Are you hard of hearing? Can't you tell the direction of a sound?"

Xu Su glanced at him, followed his directions to her phone, and surprisingly didn't say anything.

The phone went unanswered for a long time and has now become a missed call.

I had just unlocked the door when the phone rang again.

Shen Chen tilted his head to take a look and chuckled, "Zhou the Madman? Does Brother Zhou know you've saved him like this?"

"..." Xu Su was a little embarrassed. She ignored him and pressed the call button, holding the phone to her ear.

The next second, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Susu, have you returned to Changshi yet?"

Zhou Mochen's voice was deep and pleasant, filled with undisguised doting affection.

Xu Su suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She sniffed softly, "I'm back. I've already gotten off the highway."

She sniffled so softly that Zhou Mochen didn't hear it. Instead, he was a little puzzled. "Why did you come off the highway?"

For the convenience of carrying passengers, the shuttle buses all travel on national highways.

He quickly realized something, "You came back in Shen Chen's car? He said this morning that he was bored and wanted to go to Kang County to find you, and he actually went?"
