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

He looked at Shen Chen, who was standing to the side, and pointed to the door. "Chen, go and tell them to send over a female doctor."

Shen Chen raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xu Su's attire, and instantly understood his thoughts, so he actually went out to call for help.

Xu Su was speechless. "...Zhou Mochen, don't go too far."

"It'll be ready soon," Zhou Mochen coaxed softly, kissing the top of her head gently.

Soon, a female doctor who was over forty years old entered. Zhou Mochen looked at Shen Chen, who followed her in, and raised his chin, "You wait at the door too."

“....." Shen Chen stopped in his tracks, then gritted his teeth and smiled after a long pause, “Fine.”

Not only Shen Chen, but even Xu Su was silenced by his actions. Zhou Mochen's possessiveness had truly penetrated to the bone.

The female doctor was very gentle, but even with the gentlest touch, she still had to clean the wound thoroughly before applying any medication.

The cotton swabs, soaked in saline solution, were used to gently clean the three scratches. Xu Su was in excruciating pain and trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Mochen pulled half of her body into his arms, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart. He finally understood what it meant to wish he could take her place.

After the wound was cleaned, treated, and bandaged, Xu Su was sweating profusely from the pain and felt completely exhausted.

Zhou Mochen scooped the person up in his arms and carried them toward the hospital entrance. As he passed Shen Chen, he glanced at him and said, "Come and get the car."

In the back seat of the Land Rover, Zhou Mochen held the little girl on his lap, cupping her face and looking at her red and swollen eyes from crying.

Xu Su felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she turned her head away and said, "Stop looking, you look ugly when you cry."

"It's not ugly, my Susu is beautiful no matter what." He kissed the little girl's eyes, suppressing his anger, and gently coaxed her, "Be good, tell me how you got this injury."

Only Zhou Mochen himself knew how anxious he was when his little girl cried and couldn't speak on the phone.

His hands were shaking as he drove to the hospital. If Shen Chen hadn't given him a brief explanation over the phone, he probably would have gone crazy on the spot.

Xu Su hesitated, unsure of what to say, but Shen Chen, who was acting as the driver, spoke first.

"What else could it be? He got beaten up." He clicked his tongue lightly and casually explained for Xu Su, "Don't worry, that guy is still in the hospital. He has at least four broken ribs. I was there. I can't let Xu Su suffer these injuries for nothing."

Xu Su nodded, "He's right, that blondie's injuries were much more serious than mine."

"Heh..." Zhou Mochen sneered in anger at her words, "What little blondie? What is he? What makes him think he can compare to you?"

He looked up at the driver's seat and said, "Ah Chen, tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

"It's not that complicated. Some young man with blond hair was being rude to Xu, and then this girl got angry, threw a glass of wine at him, and that guy started hitting her." Shen Chen explained the situation in a few words while driving.

"So, you didn't protect her and let her get hurt in front of you?" Zhou Mochen's voice was icy.

He's taking his anger out on others.

Realizing this, Xu Su still couldn't help but defend Shen Chen, "He protected him. Shen Chen's arm was bruised so badly from being hit by the chair leg, and he might have other injuries as well. Zhou Mochen, if he hadn't protected me, I might have been hurt even more badly."

Shen Chen has done a very good job. Apart from the very first moment when he was really too late, he took the lead in everything he was supposed to do.

Her words silenced both men in the car.

Shen Chen hadn't expected her to notice his injury, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but smile slightly, "It's still my fault. I should have punched them when they first started saying those filthy things."

Ever since she got injured, Shen Chen has been blaming himself for being so stubborn, for only daring to show his face when the girl couldn't take it anymore and took matters into her own hands.

“If it’s not clean…” Zhou Mochen repeated Shen Chen’s words expressionlessly, having already understood the general situation. He tightened his grip on the little girl in his arms and said to the front, “Achen, who are these people? Who said what? Have the family members compile a list from the social background department and send it to me tomorrow.”

"No, I've already taken action, so there's no reason to change the person in charge. I'll handle it." Shen Chen turned on the turn signal and drove the car into the basement, his voice still calm and unhurried: "Don't worry, not one of them will escape."

Xu Su: "...Why are you guys behaving like gangsters? Can't you communicate normally?"

With the wound bandaged and not exposed to the air, it occasionally tugged at the skin, which made Xu Su feel much better.

She refused to let Zhou Mochen continue to hold her opinion and quickly ran out of the car. "Actually, they were just talking nonsense. That little blond guy learned his lesson. He even broke several ribs. There was no need to make such a big fuss."

As soon as Shen Chen got out of the car, he heard her magnanimous remarks and laughed angrily, "Fine, so I was the one who was meddling, right? Xu Su, remember this: when a man makes direct, dirty jokes, he's testing your limits. If you don't get angry and continue to swallow your anger, believe me, his flirtatious talk will eventually turn into 'real flirtation'."

"..." Xu Su remained silent, thinking of the group of greasy middle-aged men at the first table. After she finished drinking, they wanted her contact information. Even saying that she was still a student did not dispel their ill intentions.

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Shen Chen became somewhat complicated. "You interpret those people's thoughts this way..."

Men understand men, especially a seasoned womanizer like Shen Chen. He's probably used his charm to charm beautiful women, otherwise how could he be so knowledgeable?

Xu Su thought she had seen through everything, but Shen Chen understood her unspoken meaning perfectly. He slammed the car door shut with a loud bang, glared at her through gritted teeth, and stormed off in a huff.

"....." Is he really angry?

Zhou Mochen put his arm around Zhou Mochen's shoulder and gently squeezed it, soothingly saying, "Don't pay attention to his temper. But Ah Chen is right, this matter can't just end like this. Don't worry about it, just pretend you don't know anything."

"Promise me that next time, no matter how angry you are, you won't get into a conflict with someone else."

Thinking of the girl's injury, Zhou Mochen was still shaken. He put his arm around her and walked forward, gently reminding her, "Take care of yourself and don't make me worry. If you're upset, I can get back at you, but if you get hurt, even if I kill the other person, you've already suffered the consequences."

At the elevator entrance, Shen Chen stood waiting for them. Hearing Zhou Mochen's words, he looked up.

Xu Su felt a little resentful after being lectured by the two of them in turn, "but some anger is really hard to bear."

She looked at Shen Chen and said, "How could you tolerate those words?"

"It's really infuriating." Shen Chen nodded, unusually agreeing with her. "So, is it wrong for me to stand up for you?"
