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

Upon hearing that Shen Chen had come to Kang County, Zhou Mochen was aware of it, and Xu Su's doubts completely dissipated.

It seems I was too confident. Shen Chen really doesn't have any feelings for her, otherwise why would he come to see her in front of Zhou Mochen?

Xu Su didn't hide anything, "I rode in his car."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Where are you now? I'll come pick you up, Su Su. Have dinner with me tonight."

Perhaps because I suffered too many grievances today, I couldn't maintain my facade of strength in front of the person I knew and trusted most.

Feeling the pulling pain from the wound on her neck, Xu Su spoke again, her voice trembling with tears, "Zhou Mochen, it hurts so much..."

Once the dam of grievances is opened, it will burst forth. For example, Xu Su was able to stand up to Shen Chen as if nothing was wrong, but now that she has broken down her pretense in front of Zhou Mochen, she can't hold back anymore.

Xu Su cried so hard she could barely breathe. Her mind was filled with the grievances of being harassed by a group of greasy middle-aged men at the banquet. The glass of baijiu she drank to save face was still causing trouble in her stomach. She had only eaten a few bites of food for lunch, and her stomach, which had never drunk baijiu before, was already burning with discomfort.

Later, he was subjected to so many inappropriate jokes and even got injured.

Her skin was always delicate, but those three long cuts on her neck showed that the young blond man hadn't held back at all. Young men are so strong; he had scratched her skin raw. In this hot weather, the wounds could easily become infected if not treated properly.

And most importantly... how should she face Xi Zirong after school starts?

Even if you've already decided to break up, it shouldn't be done this way.

Taking advantage of her pent-up frustration, she cried out all her worries, completely ignoring how anxious Zhou Mochen was on the other end of the phone, and just kept crying.

The car stopped at some point, and Shen Chen took the phone from Xu Su's hand. He said a few words to the other end of the line and then hung up.

Turning to look at the little girl who was crying her eyes out, Shen Chen sighed, "Don't cry, I'll definitely get revenge for you. Does it really hurt that much?"

Looking at the wound on her neck, he felt both heartache and anger. He handed her two tissues and said, "If you know it hurts, then you should learn your lesson. Don't get into conflicts with people when you're alone in the future. A wise man doesn't suffer a loss when he's in trouble, you know?"

Seeing the little girl crying so pitifully, Shen Chen deliberately teased her, "If you've been wronged, just tell your brother, and I'll stand up for you."

"..."

Xu Su ignored him, and only after she had cried her heart out did she take a tissue to wipe her tears.

Shen Chen let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief. "Alright, get out of the car when you've cried enough. I'll take care of your wounds."

They had arrived at their destination. Xu Su lifted her swollen eyelids and looked out of the car.

She thought it would just be a matter of getting her wound bandaged at the city hospital, but Shen Chen took her to a plastic surgery hospital. The place was decorated in a very high-end and luxurious style, and it didn't look like a hospital at all, but rather like a private club.

Xu Su hesitated for a moment...

Shen Chen had already gotten out of the car. He opened the passenger door and saw her sitting still, so he reached out to pull her.

He patiently explained, "Don't be afraid. I've asked around, and the doctors at the Changshi Plastic Surgery Hospital are the only ones who are really good. Your wound doesn't need stitches. We'll just have the doctor bandage it up and apply some ointment to prevent scarring."

Xu Su wasn't afraid at all. She just felt that it was making a fuss over such a small injury. The doctors in this kind of plastic surgery clinic were certainly skilled. They catered to wealthy women, so how could the clinic operate without real expertise? She probably needed to make an appointment.

As soon as Shen Chen and Xu Su got out of the car, they saw several people standing at the hospital entrance in the distance. They were undoubtedly waiting for them.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Chen approached, the group of people immediately came to greet him before he even got close.

The middle-aged man in the white shirt in the middle was extremely excited. "Is this Mr. Shen? Come in quickly! After receiving your call, all the experts and directors in our hospital who are not in the operating room are on standby."

Xu Su: ......

Shen Chen was clearly used to this scene. He waved his hand and said, "Dean Hu, you're too kind. There's no need for such a big fuss. It's just a minor injury. Just bandage it properly, use the best medicine, and make sure it doesn't leave a scar."

Unexpectedly, he spoke in such a friendly manner, and the middle-aged man's smile became even more enthusiastic. "Don't worry, the medical skills of our hospital's experts and directors are all excellent."

Dean Hu turned to Xu Su, ignoring her swollen, tear-filled eyes. He glanced at her wound a few times, and his expression visibly relaxed. "This must be the injured person, right? Don't worry, Young Master Shen, leave this injury to us. It will definitely not leave a scar."

Shen Chen nodded and led Xu Su into an office.

He wiped the sweat from his brow in the white shirt, pulled over a middle-aged man in a white coat who had been waiting with him at the door, and hurriedly introduced him: "This is our Director Liu, the star of our hospital. Patients from all over the province and even the country come here because of his reputation. Don't worry, your girlfriend's injury will definitely be fine."

Xu Su was taken aback. She wanted to explain, but then felt that there was no need to give a formal explanation to these strangers.

Shen Chen had no intention of explaining. He simply nodded and, after Xu Su sat down, waved to the other experts standing nearby, "Let them all go about their business."

The group of experts had just left, and the office door had been closed for less than half a minute when it was forcefully pushed open again.

Zhou Mochen, dressed in white shirt and black pants, had a palpable sense of anxiety on his face. His imposing aura quickly subsided when he saw Xu Su sitting on the long sofa, and he walked over in a few steps.

The girl's eyes were swollen, her nose was still red, and the wounds on her neck, which had been smeared with iodine, looked even more gruesome. When Zhou Mochen saw the three scratch marks, he froze on the spot, his expression instantly frozen.

He paused for several seconds before he reacted, stiffened, and sat down next to Xu Su. With trembling hands, he pulled her close and examined the wound on her neck closely.

When I looked up again, my eyes were already red and swollen. "Who did this?"

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were almost murderous.

Reluctant to ask the girl who was so badly injured, Zhou Mochen looked at Shen Chen, who was leaning against the desk, and asked, "Who did this?"

Xu Su leaned against him, feeling the rapid heartbeat in his chest, and couldn't help but tug at his arm, "Let go of me first, and ask me after I've treated my wound, okay? It hurts so much."

Director Liu originally thought that Xu Su and Shen Chen, who were welcomed in by the dean, were a couple. Unexpectedly, another man appeared and immediately hugged the girl so tightly, looking like he was there to interrogate her.

Just as he was wondering whether to go out and wait for them to finish talking before coming back, he heard Xu Su's words and quickly nodded, "Let's treat the wound first. It's too hot, and it can easily get infected if we're not careful. It won't take long, and it will be fine soon."

Zhou Mochen was taken aback. He slowly released Xu Su and looked at her slightly low neckline. He thought about how the suspenders on her shoulders would need to be pulled down when treating her injuries. His already unpleasant expression became even more gloomy.
